Chapter 39: The Precious Sacrifice
At night, outside the western borders of the Kingdom of Midland, the monastery, known as the son of the god of the sea, stands on the border between the wasteland and the mountains. It is a cylindrical building, large and small, located far from the town and in a remote location, and in order to maintain the religious influence of the Royal Hall, a religious order of 300 people is stationed here all year round. Although the conditions here are difficult, fortunately there is a clear river flowing through the cliffs behind the temple, so that the son of the sea god on the edge of the wasteland is not short of water, and at the same time, there is no big problem with the supplies allocated by the Royal Office and the funding of the Midland Kingdom every quarter.
But tonight, the guards on the circular city wall discovered an unimaginable anomaly, something that was undoubtedly something that should not have appeared in reality.
The guards, who had been separated by a few meters, gathered together to look at the sudden appearance of a huge tornado above the cliff not far away, and discussed it with a lot of gossip.
"What's going on?!"
"What a miracle!"
"Please bless us?!"
"The Dean is here!"
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a simple monk's hat walked from the direction of the temple to the city wall here, surrounded by six personal guards.
He looked fixedly at the tornado connecting heaven and earth in front of him, and there was a sense of disobedience in his heart, which was contrary to common sense, the city wall here should have been attacked by the violent wind, but in fact it was unusually calm, not to mention that the tornado that had never been recorded in history and appeared next to the son of the sea god for no reason was enough to explain the problem.
"O God! Are you delivering an oracle?! The dean drew a cross on his chest and prayed very sincerely.
"Lord Dean, the situation is unknown, please go back!" The guard looked at the tornado in front of him with great fear, and suggested to the dean.
"No, why fear my God, but if you believe in Him sincerely, you will not be harmed." The dean firmly rejected the Guard's proposal, and since he was thinking about himself, he didn't scold anything.
.........
At the same time, something beyond ordinary comprehension occurred at the bottom of the cliff next to the Son of the Sea God, and a sacrificial ritual was underway.
The bottom of the cliff was originally a flat ground, but what is jaw-dropping is that the ground is densely packed with stenching corpses, which are refugees who fled to the vicinity of the son of the sea god due to the war, but died due to the scarcity of help from the temple, weak bodies, sudden illnesses and other reasons.
A young man in tattered linen clothes, full of corpse stench, hunched and emaciated, knelt in the gap between the corpses at the bottom of the cliff, and looked up with cringe at the four huge figures that suddenly appeared in the sky.
"God... Envoy... Angels..."
If Song Jing and the other reincarnators were here, seeing their obvious posture, they would immediately recognize that these four were the terrifying hands of the gods.
A figure in the center of the air, with a head like a bare brain, a face like a skull, eyes covered with emaciated eyelids, a hollow nose, lips and lips nailed around the face in the shape of a five-star as if punished, bare teeth exposed, and body hidden in thin black wings like a mysterious black robe. He spoke in a slow tone that had not changed for a thousand years, "I'm glad that we are gathered again, and the cause and effect of arranging everyone and everything tells me that fate has changed. Fate decides, and now the ceremony begins! ”
"It's fun!"
A succubic-like woman with a fiery figure and a huge demon wing covering her body behind her back looked at the nameless young man kneeling low, and licked her lips with interest, but the image of Song Jing and them killing the Earl and the Dog Apostle was reflected in their eyes in turn.
"When you have a memory, you live in this abyss, with garbage as your neighbor, with corpses as companions, humble, weak, and clear all your life, you beg to return to the light, but when you ask people for help, you are insulted as a monster, helplessly curled up back into their lair, abandoned by the world, a young man!"
A man with a face as big as a basin, a pair of small eyes on his face, and a whole body the size of a human chest, spoke about the life of the young man, and his body flew to the young man's side erratically, and the glasses reflected the original twisted and distributed organs of Behelet on the young man's chest, which had formed a normal face, and shouted silently, with thick blood and tears in his eyes.
"What is your desire? Exchange what you cherish! ”
"Is that okay?! My wish?! ”
The young man looked up hesitantly at the wordless hand of God in the air, tears of excitement gradually flowed from his eyes, and he said desperately, "My wish is to give birth to a [perfect world], and my sacrifice is... It's the one that surrounds me... What a world! ”
"The ceremony is established!"
Potter shouted calmly with a face, but the kneeling boy was deafening, surprised, and full of happiness filled his heart.
'Thank you, O great angel, for listening to my wishes'
The boy thought so gratefully, and the feeling of slumber that swept over him was brought into the deep darkness.
Within the storm, it has actually become a different dimension, as a place where the powerful hands of the gods descend in the depths of the netherworld.
The hands of the four gods stood on the ground of the maze of alienated bodies, quietly watching the wriggling black cocoon that wrapped the boy at the bottom of the cliff, and the finger-thick, human-like tubes like human blood vessels densely stretched out from the surrounding darkness to connect and wrap the black cocoon, moving and transporting unknown substances to it.
The last Hand of God, also wrapped in an unknown black flesh wing like clothing, with a chubby face, and a mouth that never closed, said, "Ho Ho, another apostle is born"
"Archangel, who the hell are those five?! Why can't I see their past cause and effect" The female hand of the gods, that is, Silan, seemed to care about Song Jing and other reincarnators, and looked up to the bare brain of the hand of the gods Potter asked.
Potter shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "My god didn't tell me where they came from"
Yubik, the hand of the god who had been floating near the boy, said suspiciously, "I can only see the scene where they suddenly appeared a few months ago!" ”
I saw a speck of light floating in front of the other three Divine Hands, and the scene inside was the scene where Song Jing and the others suddenly appeared in the battle where Gus killed Bazso, and disappeared on the battlefield using the invisibility charm.
"Ho Ho, do you want to order my family to follow them," Conrad, the fat-faced Hand of God, squinted his eyes.
"As it should be!" Potter nodded, then looked at the apostle that was gradually being conceived below, and said slowly, "This time, they deserve to be plagued!" ”
With that, the darkness that had enveloped the boy dissipated like a mist, revealing an egg slightly larger than a human being, like Behlet, its face distorted, its facial features disorganized on the smooth surface of the egg, and the bottom of which had long, slender limbs like spider's feet. He opened his big eyes on the egg and looked gratefully at the hands of the four gods juxtaposed above, leaning as if bowing to them, "St. Ann, four lords!"
"Well," Potter replied calmly, and then looked up overhead, his eyes as if he had penetrated the inner wall of the storm, crossed the cliff face, and saw the scene of the son of the sea god, and the priests, the knights, and many unknown refugees watched the unending storm in horror.
"Calamity has befallen you!" Potter looked back and said calmly to the newborn Egg Apostle.
"Yes! My lord! ”
Flattered, the Egg Apostle leaned over the ground and replied respectfully, not daring to go beyond the command of the hand of God.
"The fifth blessed king is coming, and this is the future that no one can change-"
Potter said a word steadily, and then he and the other three god hands, slowly disappeared into the darkness of the air, and at the same time, the alien space in the storm gradually returned to its original state, and the scene of the three-dimensional labyrinth slowly changed back to the familiar cliff pit.
Potter's aftermath echoed at the bottom of the cliff, and the Egg Apostle remained on the ground, like a sincere believer.
After a long time, the storm completely dissipated, and the silence that had not changed for ten thousand years shrouded the bottom of the cliff again, and the egg apostle gently got up, and wrapped his slender hands around his egg-shaped body, as if he felt unprecedented warmth, and smiled with his big mouth tilted to the side.
But a sudden cacophony broke the intoxication of the egg apostle, and hurried, messy footsteps rang out from the cliff.
"Quick, quick, it must be a miracle!"
"Praise my God!"
"Oracle! Oracle of our God! ”
The egg apostle's face immediately became gloomy, thinking of the command of the hand of God just now, thinking of the scene where the fools used stones to drive themselves away before, his big mouth cracked, like a bloodthirsty butcher, his eyes were cold, and he said faintly.
"Calamity has struck..."
As soon as its feet were forced, its body instantly sped up along the cliff like a sharp black arrow.
"What?!"
Coming to the crowd next to the cliff, the dean led by him looked down at the not so steep place on the side of the cliff, and was about to order his subordinates to go down, but he saw a black shadow climbing up quickly, but because of the dark night, he couldn't see clearly, and he rubbed his eyes and was about to take a closer look.
Phew-
The black shadow jumped out of the cliff and crossed in front of the dean, and among the torches raised by the guards around him, he saw the abnormal posture of the egg apostle, and was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide and prepared to shout.
"Uh-"
The Egg Apostle immediately jumped on the Dean of the Son of the Sea God, threw him to the ground, tightly bound the Dean's hands with both hands, and shouted with a big mouth crooked to the side, "You are lucky, you know? ”
Woooo
Nearly a dozen strips of flesh with spikes quickly stretched out from the bottom of the egg apostle, pierced into the necks of the dean and the nearby guards, and an unknown substance was injected into it, while his big scarlet eyes stared at the dean's distorted expression of pain under him, and said seriously, "This is an angel, a blessing to you!" ”
With that, he jumped to the side, and the injected dean rolled on the ground in pain, constantly shouting, "Ahhhh
At the same time, the dean's body underwent abnormal changes in vain, the thin body that was originally compared to the guard swelled up, broke through the original clothes, and the whole body quickly grew black hair, the hands and feet gradually turned into thick animal claws, easily digging the soil on the ground, the mouth continued to elongate, the teeth in the mouth gradually became sharp, saliva was quickly secreted, dripping on the ground, the dean became a legendary werewolf, lying on the ground, his head was raised, and the scream in his mouth also deteriorated, "Ahhh!!h ”
The same injected guards also underwent all kinds of changes, some had fleshy wings on their backs, some had two horns on their heads, their feet turned into hooves, and some had extra hands, which was simply a monster in a nightmare, all with red eyes and fierce abnormalities.
All kinds of strange-shaped monsters stood up in front of the Egg Apostle, although their breath was chaotic, they did not get out of control, quietly waiting for the Egg Apostle's order, it seemed that the transformation had been completed.
"What's going on?!" The knights who gathered not far away saw that the dean and his guards had turned into monsters, and they immediately panicked and rioted.
"Catch them! And more! The Egg Apostle commanded mercilessly, and in an instant, the monsters rushed fiercely towards the Knights.
"Don't mess up, defend..."Seeing this scene, the leader of the knights immediately commanded and ordered, but before the words were finished, a huge black shadow shrouded the top of his head.
I saw an upright black wolf pounce into the crowd, and with one blow, it shattered the head of the leader, and suddenly the demons danced wildly on the scene.
