Cuakeyaku, Peru.

It's a small city that is almost impossible to find on a map, but it has a special meaning for the locals, as it was once a very important city in the ancient Inca Empire.

The Inca Empire was one of the three ancient civilizations in the Americas, the other two major civilizations were the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization.

However, it is more accurate to say that the Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire are the successors of the Mayan civilization.

Because the Mayan civilization is the oldest, it is only that it never formed a truly unified state, but existed in the form of a city-state similar to ancient Greece.

This also led to a very chaotic belief in the Mayan civilization, and the number of various gods and goddesses was no less than that of ancient Greece.

The Bradat civilization where Chris once came into contact with the Predator clan was once an important deity of the Mayan civilization.

It's just that in the eighth century AD, because of the mistakes of the Bradat, the aliens were destroyed, and they had to destroy several Mayan city-states, which caused the decline of the Mayan civilization, and the Bradat people were also besieged by the guardians of the earth at that time, and their faith on the earth was basically cut off, and finally there were only a few testing grounds in the fringe of civilization.

After the decline of the Mayan civilization, the remaining city-states began to migrate, which affected the surrounding ethnocultural circles and eventually led to the creation of the Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire.

So in terms of many beliefs and cultures, the three major civilizations are all in the same line.

And the Quetzalcoatl god Kukulkan is an important god that all three major civilizations believe in.

And Cuakyaku was once a religious city with an important relationship with this deity, with many temples related to this deity, and even a pyramid, and these are all from the priestly lineage of Kukulkan, brought from the Maya to the Incas, which many Incas themselves do not know.

Of course, with the destruction of the ancient Inca Empire by the Spanish colonizers, the city has long been deserted and turned into a ruin, and the current Cuakyacu is only rebuilt by the locals who attached themselves to the ruins.

However, few people know that the priestly lineage of Kukulcan did not actually die out due to the fall of the Inca Empire, but has been passed down in hiding, guarding the important sacred relic of this god, the Box of Ichichel.

…… Even Chris and Laura knew the head of Holy Trinity in South America, Dr. Dominguez, was actually one of them.

It's just that due to the development of outside civilization, the secrets of this ancient city are becoming more and more difficult to guarantee, so Dominguez is not willing to continue to spend time here, he wants to get more.

So, he left here and went to the outside world, and by chance, he joined the Holy Trinity, and with the information he knew about the god of Kukulkan, he soon entered the upper echelons of the Holy Trinity, and was responsible for finding the key of Chakchel and the box of Ichichel, two artifacts that can summon Kukulkan in South America...... Of course, the main thing is to find the key of Chakchel, because the box of Ichichel is in the ruins of Kuakyakku, and Dominguez, as a priest, naturally knows about it, and this thing will not run away by itself anyway, and it will be too late to retrieve the box when he finds the key of Chakchel.

But......

"Where's the Box of Ichchel???" In the ruins of Kuakyaku, inside the temple of Kukulkan, looking at the empty shrine after opening, Satannis grabbed Dominguez's neck and roared angrily.

As the Demon Lord of Hell, Satanis originally belonged to the tyrannical and impermanent category, and now he took a huge risk and descended on the main material plane in order to devour the essence of an ancient god, but when it came to the end, he found that the important artifact that summoned the ancient god was actually gone, how could he not be angry?

"Ho......" Dominguez, whose neck was grabbed, could only struggle weakly in mid-air, and this Satannis only needed to add a little more force, then he would directly ask for GG.

Fortunately, although Satannis was furious, he did not completely lose his mind, and after venting, he threw Dominguez to the ground.

"Ahem, my lord, the box should have been kept here, it must be someone else, those guardians, who took him." Dominguez, who had survived, struggled to his feet, explained to Satannis, and then without hesitation, he put the black cauldron on those who had fled, not caring at all that among those people were his sisters-in-law and nephews.

Hearing Dominguez's words, Satannis's gloomy face narrowed slightly, and then glanced at the corpses all around him...... These corpses were all guardians of the priestly lineage of the temple of Kukulkan, who had been killed for blocking Satannis's party.

But only some of these people are actually gone, and many of them have fled into the endless rainforest...... Because Satannis was aiming for the Crate of Ichichel at that time, he did not send anyone to kill them. But now it seems that he has made a wrong decision, and all the humans who dare to disobey him should be killed.

"Victor, Kadanjou, take your men, find them, kill them all, and bring me back the box, I must see the box before the eclipse!" Satannis commanded gloomily to the man behind him.

"Yes, my master!" In the shadows, a figure appeared, half-kneeling and saluting Satannis, before disappearing again.

"Amelia, Marcus, Lucien, take your men to guard the perimeter, and any living creature that comes near the temple will be killed!" Satanis ordered again.

Three figures emerged from the shadows again, saluted Satannis, and then disappeared again.

"Agnus, Tracy, Gloria, get ready to sacrifice the circle!" Satannis commanded again.

Three more figures appeared, and quickly vanished.

"As for you! Useless waste! If you don't get the box by then, I'll use your brains to draw a circle! Now me off! Satannis glanced at Dominguez, who was still trembling and kneeling on the ground, and scolded.

Hearing Satannis's words, Dominguez stumbled out of the temple as if he had been pardoned.

However, after leaving the temple, Dominguez still looked panicked, but there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, avoiding everyone's gaze and returning to his residence.

After checking to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, he removed a carpet in the room and lifted a piece of the floor, revealing a black hole in the floor.

Dominguez took a flashlight and tiptoed down the hole.

The cavern was deep and narrow, and in the deepest part was a shrine similar to that in the previous temple, and on top of the shrine was the chest of Ichchel, which Satannis had always dreamed of.

It turned out that the Ichchel Box had not been taken away by the other guardians at all, but had been secretly brought here by Dominguez more than ten years ago, before he left here.

However, at this time, Dominguez did not pay attention to the box on the shrine, but went straight to a pentagram in front of the shrine, and then took out a generation of blood and sprinkled it on the circle regularly.

This circle is very similar to the one they had seen in Europe before that was used to summon Satannis, but in terms of details, there was a big difference.

After spilling the blood, Dominguez began to mutter, and his hands were drawn with inexplicable gestures, apparently performing some kind of ritual.

And as the ritual progressed, the circle also began to shine with black light.

Soon, a black mist rose from the circle, and finally formed an old man with a kind face.

"Dominguez, how's the mission going?" When the old man appeared, he asked Dominguez...... However, before Dominguez could answer, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he immediately scolded, "You idiot, you don't even know if you've been cursed!" ”

", Mephisto, I knew it was you, the old ghost, who was behind it!" Just when Dominguez was puzzled, Satannis's voice suddenly came from behind him.
