Chapter 63: Childbirth
Deep underground, enclosed space.
Inside the innermost foundation of the altar, countless huge eggs were piled up on both sides, crowding the space until only a narrow gap remained.
At the entrance to the foundation, a thick gray-black mist fills the room, which obscures the deep space inside, and nothing can be seen. Occasionally, an eerie roar was heard, echoing through the air.
Between the cracks of countless giant hive-shaped eggs covered in flesh and blood, there were soft waxy egg shell fragments, yellow-brown mixed secretions, and a large number of strangely shaped monster corpses. A large number of monsters have severely disproportionate bodies, or lack some kind of important organs, and even some of their heads are only empty shells, and there is no brain and spinal tissue inside them since birth.
There are monster heads of various shapes scattered on the ground in the gaps, they are still in the embryonic stage, all of them have been twisted off their heads from the outside by strange forces, and a pair of terrifying eyes open silently, revealing the vicious resentment in the stillborn belly.
Countless internal organs and intestines, saturated with heterochromatic plasma, hung like ornaments between egg shells, blood and secretions pooled on the ground into murky streams, and pieces of rotting internal organs floated on the surface of the liquid.
The bottom of the altar was wrapped in a sticky, turbid stench, and the occasional strange scream that could tear through the eardrums of ordinary people was heard, and the two combined to form a dark space as hellish and silent.
In the mine-like tunnel connecting the foundation and the upper level of the altar, a stocky figure slowly emerged from the mist, and the eyes under the white mask swept over the giant beehive-shaped eggs, and the eyes suddenly flashed with a different color.
It is the servant and henchman of the Maggot King, Duriel. He was ordered to give a Demon God's Egg to show favor to the human who had stolen the power of the evil god, and to assist him in further destroying the human world.
Of course. As a servant of the Demon God, it is naturally not a simple messenger of friendship, and partly plays the role of a spy.
The other party was well aware of this, but there was still a place to use it for the time being, so although he was quite unfriendly to this monster, he didn't immediately drive it away.
And one of its most important tasks is to spy on this man who has stolen divine power. And crack the secrets of his divine power as much as possible.
Through long-term observation, the servants of the demon god discovered that the man would disappear overnight every once in a while. This night he will consume a huge amount of strength and it will take a long time to recover.
It felt that this night's time was likely to contain the core secrets of the other party, so it looked for an opportunity. Dissipate yourself into bubbles. The owner of the enclosed space, who was tracked down, came here.
"These monster fetal eggs exude the aura of otherworldly evil gods, which is really disgusting. ”
The servant of the demon god thought as he silently walked between the demon eggs, following the occasional roar in the space, and quickly approached the location of the sound source.
The roar of an unknown monster could be heard in the distance, as if it had been summoned from hell, giving it a hint of familiarity.
The deeper you go, the greater the resistance. Rows of honeycomb-shaped demon eggs were swept away by the mist, and the outer membrane of the flesh adhered to the egg shell fell off like the bark of a tree.
"Actually collected such a large batch of demon eggs. Did that guy imprison the mother of the black goat here and lay eggs for him to hatch an army? ”
The servants of the demon god crowded into the depths of the space, and now it had been engulfed in a thick fog that had been surging, and its figure occasionally peeked out of the mist, and then quickly drowned in the gray and black mist like a wave.
The huge roar in the depths of the space is getting closer and closer, so that it can hear a clue, this is clearly the roar of some kind of monster when it gives birth, could it be that guy really imprisoned the doppelganger of the black goat mother goddess here?
While the servant of the demon god was thinking about it, he was struggling to move forward in the mist, when he suddenly sensed an incredible flow of power. In the gray space, something like a blood vessel, at an incredible speed, suddenly wrapped around its waist.
As the embodiment of treacherous emotions, the servants of the demon god have no body and should not be able to be locked by any physical attacks, but they are instantly squeezed by this huge scarlet vein.
It struggled frantically twice, but could not get rid of its restraints, and the blood-colored tube quickly tightened and straightened, dragging the servant of the demon god into the sea of fog with a huge force, and disappeared in an instant.
......
"Ahhhh
A roar of great pain echoed through the space, stretching like an elongated rubber thread, and then, with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the rubber threads broke at the same time, leaving only the heavy wheezing sound of the wind and clouds rolling.
The Demon God's minions were pulled into the core of space by a scarlet tube, slamming into the ground and landing on a large pool of sticky, slippery, fishy liquid. Without a physical body, it naturally did not get dizzy, and quickly raised its head and saw an unbelievable scene.
At the core of the dense fog, countless huge earthworm-like bright red tentacles were intertwined with each other, rolling densely, forming a honeycomb-shaped flesh cylinder that towered into the depths of the mist.
Hundreds of feet high, thousands of these terrifying red veins pierced into the earth like rhizomes, like countless parasites emerging from the depths of the earth, sticky and bloody wriggling.
Below were all three or four storey houses-tall eggs, stacked next to each other on the slopes of the hills, but compared to the honeycomb-like cylinders in the center, they looked like tiny mushrooms growing next to towering giant trees.
And the owner of the enclosed space, the man named Calf, was embedded in the middle of the cylinder at the moment, and his body and scarlet tentacles were indistinguishably blended with each other, gasping with his eyes closed.
His bare chest rose and fell with his breath, and the soft, viscous exterior of the honeycomb cylinder rose and fell in unison, forming a strange rhythm with the sound of liquid dripping below.
"That's all you want to see. ”
Calf opened his eyes, and several parasites as thin as silk threads emerged from them, and turned his head to look at the monster beneath the mist, and said with a blank face.
"Hee-hee-hee, that's amazing...... Didn't expect ......"
The servants of the demon god rubbed their fins and looked at the sky with a sneer. Quickly analyze the form in front of him, and at the same time look at the six ways to find a way out.
"I didn't expect me and the mother of the black goat to coexist in this way, right?"
Calf's pupils opened layer by layer, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils as thin as the tip of a needle. Stick out your eyes and stare at the monster from hell. Savage laughed and said:
"Those stupid cultists...... Don't you think it's funny that I want to be one with their god after death, but I, an arrogant blasphemer, do it while I am alive?"
"Hee-hee-hee, it's really funny. ”
The servant of the demon god let out a series of wicked laughs in response, looking away, not daring to look at the other man's creepy body - even the aesthetic concept of hell could not accept the appearance of the mother of the black goat.
They are still seeking the Mother Goddess's answer...... Feel it all the time...... I'd love to have this bunch of fools declare war on the Rosavians at once. But they can't do it...... I was able to control it for a while, but I was consumed by this horrible desire to reproduce...... Ahhhh
At the end, Calf jerked his head high. Ten fingers blurred the flesh of the chest scratching, and the blood vessels under the skin of the whole body wriggled like earthworms.
At the same time, the cylindrical tissue of the honeycomb suddenly swelled, and a clear bump undulated. It stretches down from the middle. At last. Countless bloody openings opened in the rhizome, and hundreds of demon eggs poured out.
The viscous stacks of giant eggs crushed like a landslide, and the stenching heat lifted a large gray mist. The Demon God's servants swung their fins and climbed up a long distance to avoid the wet, sticky egg shells.
“...... Call...... Whew......"
The roar in the space died down again, replaced by heavy gasps.
"Hehehehe, it's not a loss that the mother of the black goat, who has given birth to thousands of children and grandchildren, can give birth to so many magic eggs at one time. You'll soon be able to assemble an army that will sweep through the Celts, right?"
The servant of the demon god looked at the sky with a wicked smile and asked flatteringly.
"Pointless...... Maybe it's my problem. A large part of them are stillborns, and even if they can hatch successfully, their strength is far less than that of the genuine ......."
Calf's breath gradually subsided, and his body returned to normal, and he glanced at the mountains of stillbirths piled up below, and a hint of maternal sadness flashed in his eyes.
"That's a shame, but I think you'll be able to fix it. ”
The Demon God's servant flapped its fins and flew close to one of the giant eggs, glancing at the lifeless monster inside through the soft crumpled shell.
"That's right......"
Calf nodded slightly in agreement, and his eyes bloomed with an evil dark green light, staring at the monster below:
"My body is human, so the monster conceived after combining with the mother of the black goat is congenitally insufficient, but how the other party is also a monster, maybe the ending will be turned. ”
"Hee-hee-hee...... It's a genius idea as always...... If you need it, I can find the right monster for you...... Stronger than me, more majestic than me, more loyal than me......"
The servant of the demon god curled his head, his body backing away as he spoke.
"Hahaha!"
In the ups and downs of wild laughter, countless huge tentacles were entangled in thousands of thousands, swaying out from the huge body, as if the huge mountain released thousands of red threads.
Then, in the next moment, dense red veins suddenly shot straight towards the monster, instantly winding it around like a fry falling into a red fishing net, and then quickly tightened, pulling towards the folded honeycomb-like cylinder.
"Listen!
The servant of the demon god screamed and screamed as he struggled as he could, "Although I am happy to serve you, I have no entity, so I can't give birth to offspring at all!"
"Being able to reproduce with any nature of life, this is the basic ability of the mother of black goats, I am looking forward to your performance, hahahaha!"
In Calf's stormy laughter, the Black Goat's belly cracked, revealing a slimy slit with countless scarlet tentacles, swallowing the Demon God's minions.
......
"So, this particularly weak monster is still a specialty of the Highland Kingdom?" Aree frowned, his gaze averting from the identification papers, and finally resting on Lydia's stern-looking face.
"So I feel suspicious. ”
The knightess pursed her lips, stretched out a white index finger, and pointed to one of the certificates:
"Obviously the appearance is exactly the same, but the internal structure is very different, and the strength is far inferior to ordinary monsters, which is simply the difference between a fake and a genuine one. ”
"The monster that attacked the shopping street in the western suburbs is a fake?"
Ya Lei took a deep look at the other party, then put down the appraisal report in his hand, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "If the monster that attacked the shopping street in the western suburbs is a fake...... So the cultists in the territory of the Highland Kingdom are also fakes?"
"It's very likely. Lydia nodded vigorously.
"It's a possibility...... In other words, there is another kind of force that is carrying out terrorist attacks in the name of cultists...... If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle......"
The black-haired knight crossed his fingers and tucked them under his chin, his eyes gradually shrinking to a sharp point.
"We've got to do it!"
Lydia slapped her right hand the appraisal report, and said with a serious face:
"I'm not referring to the current kind of passive defense, we should take the initiative to strike! Eliminate their evil deeds in the bud, this is the right thing to do. ”
"You're right, but you have to take the initiative to attack with a clear goal, and now that the enemy is in the shadows, we don't even know their details, and a rash attack will inevitably be passive everywhere. ”
Yalei looked at the anxious female knight, pressed his left hand, and comforted softly:
"Now that Charlene is back, with her here, I can rest assured that I can take action in person, and I believe that it won't be long before I find out the truth of the matter. Until then, you don't act on your own initiative, and wait for the right moment in patience, which is also a strategy. ”
"However, it is likely that they are planning a great conspiracy......"
"I understand!"
The black-haired knight interrupted her with a raised voice, patiently explaining:
"Now that the whole empire is raging with demons, this is obviously an elaborate conspiracy, do you see the imperial military scurrying around like headless flies? Listen, we need to wait, we need clues, we need evidence, we need to gather strength! Have you forgotten that assassination, your rash actions put yourself in danger, isn't this lesson enough!?"
“......”
Lydia bowed her head knowing that she was wrong, she was introverted, she had no power to parry before Yalei's eloquence in many battles, and she was quickly brainwashed and corrected.
"Let's go back, the words of Lolo and Goethe in the western suburbs are really unreassuring. Yalei withheld the information sent by the other party and motioned for her to hurry back to work.
"Got it. ”
The female knight nodded stupidly, looked at him again and again, and then turned and left the military tent.
“......”
After watching Lydia leave, the black-haired knight reached out and rubbed his swollen temples, lay down on the seat and blinked his eyes, and in an instant, a dark red light like magma overflowed in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
