Chapter 277: The Chorus of Perdition
593
ββ¦β¦ How many Church members and innocent people died on the way to hunt down Ince Zangwill and recover 0-08? β
ββ¦β¦ How pitiful, you foolish, righteous people, how sad they would have been if they had known that their tragedy had been acquiesced in from the beginning! β
Leonard gritted his teeth and ran wildly with Dali on his back, not daring to look at the scene behind him.
ββ¦β¦ 0-08 is an important item needed by a high-order extraordinary, and your goddess of the night has cooperated with the other party, so as a reward, give 0-08 to this high-sequence powerhouse. β
The oncoming wind hit him in the face, and a chilling breath rose from behind him, and a wisp of breath made Leonard fall to his knees with a limp, his hands and feet spasming unobeyed.
Leonard struggled to prop up his upper body and put Daly back onto his back, who had slipped to the ground.
He knew that his hands and legs were shaking violently, and fear and more and more complex emotions took hold of his mind. But he had to get out of here with Lady Daly and the captain, and he bit his lip so hard that the pain barely drove the emotions away.
"Do you hate me, or do you hate the existence of 'kneading human life at will'?"
What do I hate......
Leonard stood up tremblingly, helped Dali on his back, abandoned all distractions, and silently said in his heart: Run, run, run!
But even so, his teeth kept chattering and tears flowed unconsciously.
Run, run, run. Constantly running away.
"Run!!"
When the crowd reappeared, Leonard yelled at them, "Run! Don't stand here!! β
But the passers-by around him did not heed his cries, and they looked at the young man with tattered clothes and scars and a comatose woman on his back with a curious look. Leonard didn't have time to do more, so he could only continue to run forward unwillingly and angrily.
He didn't dare to slow down for half a minute, his spiritual perception sent chills all over his body, as if a sharp knife was against the back of his neck.
There was a loud explosion behind him, and the surrounding crowd began to discuss strangely, and then, screaming out of extreme fear, blood-red sea water poured into the city, and countless people were swallowed up without saying a word, as if they had directly dissolved inside.
Run! Run! Run!
The instinct to survive and the idea of "getting them out of here" took over Leonard's brain, and he wanted to instantly become an eight-legged monster like Ince Zangwill, able to run at speeds that the naked eye couldn't catch.
"Captain Sost!"
"Your Excellency Elia!!"
He shouted the names of his companions and saints, but the Goddess's Eye wasn't there, and Sost might have given up on approaching the dangerous street garden after discussing it with the rest of the church, choosing to evacuate the crowd or some other way.
The breath of madness and death followed, and Leonard watched as people who couldn't dodge were swallowed up by the sea of blood, screams and cries always disappeared in a flash.
He felt like he was gradually losing his strength, and he felt as if there was an angry voice roaring in his heart, but he couldn't hear what that voice was roaring at all, because of the double overdraw of his spiritual and physical strength.
With his last strength, Leonard poured his spirit into the "wriggling hunger" and rushed through the door that suddenly opened in front of him.
Bang!
Leonard lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately the lawn was soft and still had the temperature of the sun.
He chose the coordinates in an abandoned garden on the outskirts of Beckland, an inaccessible and dilapidated place where no one would notice a red glove suddenly appearing in the capital from the coast hundreds of kilometers away.
He put Daly in place, then slammed it to the ground.
At this time, his brain finally restarted again, and he thought of the priest who picked up 0-08 who could no longer remember his face, Klein who was suddenly taken away by the shadows, the grandmother who was a child in the orphanage with an oil lamp and gently told the children the myths and stories of the Apocalypse of the Night, the oaths, the companions, the people who expressed gratitude to him, the crying of his own powerlessness, the others who died in dangerous missions again and again......
Dealing, sacrifice, undercover, acquiescence.
I hate ......
Leonard covered his eyes with his arm, tears streaming down his cheeks.
β¦β¦
The true creator closed his eyes and his expression became serious:
"Crane, close your eyes, don't listen and don't look."
Crane nodded, he closed his eyes and closed his hearing, and the viscous shadows around him surged up like a curtain of water, hiding him in another world.
The True Creator watched Crane's figure disappear into the shadows, his eyes turned slightly, and an extremely cold wind drifted in through the window, and a gray-white figure appeared in His eyes.
The figure smiled: "It's good, it's only been a few hours, and we meet again with a new look, and the change of unpredictable possibilities is really always so fascinating." β
Judging by the number of words, the outer gods are indeed in a relatively joyful mood now, leaning towards Edward's character, or perhaps the disguise brought by the demonic path, he is even more difficult to deal with than before...... The True Creator sighed in his heart and said bluntly:
"Give me the uniqueness and sequence of 'Visionary'."
"No, I can't. Adam united with the night to attack me and tried to take away my extraordinary characteristics, and I will not let him go. β
The Decaying King shook his head, his tone still brisk, "Of course, I know that alliances that are held together by power and interests can only be strengthened when both sides have gained...... Dear ally, do you want something else? β
The True Creator narrowed his eyes slightly, neither disappointed nor surprised by this answer.
If you don't give it, it's certain that as long as you can get a "utopian", you can immediately use the uniqueness of the fantasy to get infinitely close to your heyday, and the outer gods are likely to know some of the mysteries.
Adam's arrangement was a stroke of genius.
He really doubted whether he was contaminated by the outer gods, so he did not use his essence to see Him, which was a fatal mistake.
The true Creator has no sorrow or joy, blocks all his emotional expressions, and then slowly raises a finger.
"The Eternal Sun."
He said quietly: "You also know that 'create everything, know all things' is my most important direction, and 'Dreamer' means a lot to me, and it is by no means comparable to a sun. So, give me His three-part sequence one and oneness in its entirety and normalcy. β
The outer god only thought about it for a moment, and he knew that the power of goodwill and reciprocity was better for cooperation, and it was not at all surprising to this request:
"My pleasure."
There are also changes in speaking style and tone...... The True Creator then spoke, "In addition to this, I have a new deal to talk to you: I want you to give me a blessing, a normal blessing. β
The Corrupt King paused for a second:
"I need to give you an explanation, ally, my curse is a blessing, you can take the latter as a side effect of the former, how can you use it alone? It's up to you. β
The True Creator Speaks:
"I will seek your help under certain conditions, and you will pick the most appropriate curse and power."
When the outer gods heard this, they were a little interested:
"Oh, as you asked? I'm glad you're willing to trust me like that, but what exactly are you going to do? β
"It's up to you to get involved."
The corners of the True Creator's mouth rose slightly, and for the first time, he took the initiative to reach out in a transaction with the outer gods:
"βDeclining King, do you dare to participate in the return of 'God'?"
"I want to make a deal with you, in exchange for your wholehearted help with my complete trust in you. I'm going to try to control the Sea of Chaos, and I'm going to invite you to be a witness and a facilitatorβyou have authority like 'record', and it must be a great gift. β
The moment these words fell, the expression and movements of the Decaying King stopped at the same time.
His mimicry of a human face was finally fixed on a smile waiting for the true Creator to make a request, and after a brief pause, the smile gradually expanded, from surprise to ecstasy, from ecstasy to more obscure and intense emotionβand then, a dark crack appeared on his slightly pale face from the corners of his mouth, and joy made him forget for a moment to maintain a human appearance, revealing all kinds of mysterious and complex information symbols that could not be seen directly under the skin.
"Is this your way out of the game?"
The King of Decay stretched out his hand and pinched the sides of his hideous and terrifying cheeks, temporarily smoothing out the dark cracks and the escaped spirituality, and his eyes were fixed on the true Creator, his voice resounding, almost laughing:
"Amazing, I never thought I would be so honored! I can't refuse, I can't refuse at all! β
The next moment, the outer god suddenly stopped laughing in an extremely strange way, and returned to his former calm:
"But you're not done yet, are you?"
The True Creator smiled, and his expression slowly became serious again: "...... My previous deal with you officially began after the events of this time ended, and I allowed you to travel to the Eastern Continent in exchange for giving me the 'Witch of Despair'. Also, keep the people of Intis as much as possible. β
ββ¦β¦β
The Decaying King slowly lowered his cheek-pinching hands with a subtle expression - after a brief loss of control, his micro-manipulation level returned to normal: "I can't understand you, ally. You have the consciousness and courage yourself, but you still have to protect the heirs of the mystery. β
"Tianzun will not be grateful to you."
What's the point? Even if you return, you will still retain your love for believers and humanity, and they will still be safe. β
"How long can you keep me apart, a month, or two months? You shouldn't hope for such a short time, even for a short-lived species like humans, a month or two is not worth mentioning, how far can he go? Is it possible to become what you want? β
Hearing this, the corners of the True Creator's tightly closed mouth also rose slightly, and he sighed from the heart, without any emotion, hostility and defense.
"It's a gamble, and it's the path I'm going to take."
"I hope that I love people because I am human, not because they are my believers."
"Klein - of course, I sheltered him, expected him to be because he owned Fort Source. If I succeed, I don't need him to sacrifice for it. But even if he doesn't, he's still a person I shelter. β
"Love for your own race."
The King of Decay held his cheeks and sighed in the same way:
"I can understand the answer, and I've seen too many creatures like you, but I'm just a bystander, and I don't feel it."
With that, he turned his gaze to the curtained window, and his tone became light-hearted again: "Then I'm leaving, and I'll bring back Intis and the Eternal Sun as souvenirs." I like your answers, I like the nature of all kinds of people that you embody in you, and even your selfishness looks so dazzling because of your consciousness and courage...... I even wanted to give you a hug, but our relationship doesn't seem to be that good? β
The King of Decay chuckled lowly, waved his hand, and disappeared from the room as if no one had ever come.
β¦β¦
Soon after He left, the True Creator looked away again and snorted:
"The path of the 'Mother of Heaven' is in my observation, hold your parish, and I will give you some help."
"You should know what you're supposed to do, and you should have guessed the cost."
There was silence around, and no one answered the words of the true Creator, but He nevertheless said:
"Put away all the useless speculation, you and the Grim Reaper seem to me to be no different. If you can win in the end, it will not be because you are stronger or you are more insidious, but because you were once human. β
594
After uttering the arrogant declaration, the new Demon King burst into a chuckle.
"I really didn't choose the wrong person to work with...... With such a wonderful man and God, why should I not help Him? β
The curtain of blue flames fell, and the breath of decay spread out like waves of water, and the place was in deep decay, life was gone, souls were shattered, and the ocean was rapidly dying at his feet.
The kingdom on which He stood had a crimson sky, and the clouds burned with fire.
Rise!
The stars corresponding to the astral plane shone brightly, shining with an ominous light of black and blood.
The lake of fire of sulfur rises as if ten thousand volcanoes erupted at the same time, and it expands and expands, burning everything in its path and becoming a sea of fire, into which the dead soul will be destroyed, and this is the second death.
Burn!
The city that had once fallen in the hands of the "Abyss Angels" ignited in an instant in the corresponding coordinates of the spirit world, and the flames of hell entangled and merged with each other in the directionless spirit world, ignoring the distance of space, and countless corresponding spirit creatures and demonic moths rushed there like flames, turning into blue torches, singing and dancing in the city, fighting, and devouring each other. The whole world where the "Abyss" is located also began to crumble at this moment, and those city-states were shattered, leaving only a dark gate, devouring all evil, and leaving it in deep darkness.
"The unrighteous may remain unjust; Filthy, let him be filthy forever! β
Under the crimson canopy, a few inscriptions that seemed to be written in blood gradually appeared on the doorless gateβ
"Whoever enters this gate must give up all conscience"
ββ¦β¦ What a beautiful world. β
The evil voice said with emotion.
The flames calcined the black bone, and the scales clasped tightly layer by layer, creating the toughest armor.
He stretched himself happily, his huge wings hung with countless eerie flames, and the horns of his hideous head pierced through his flesh and raw, stained a dull red with blood. The folded four wings spread out above and below the wings, and the six wings swayed as if to cover the sky and the sun.
The tail drags a slender sword-like tail, and the nails are replaced by sharper claws, and layers of mystery symbolizing sin and horror are inscribed on it. The new scales and exoskeletons punctured the skin with a pleasant stinging sensation, and the blood fell to the ground, giving birth to countless abominable demons.
Scales, wings, horns and claws, dragons and demons are always mixed up.
Because in the first mythology of mankind, everything that is terrifying and powerful always has a similarity.
"You are my people and my bread, you who are tainted by sin."
The true god of the demonic path let out a hoarse laugh in mockery, and every time he spoke, it was as if thousands of people spoke in unison.
Countless figures flickered in the city of brimstone and hellfire, some of them were evildoers, some of them were wicked people who killed innocents, some of them were nobles and rich men in high places. Their death in the abyss proclamation is equivalent to participating in the "requiem ritual" of hell, and from then on they will no longer go to the kingdom of their gods, but will fight in the hands of demons and become food for others!
To turn a blind eye to sin is to acknowledge the existence of demons, and to be devoured by the malice in your heart is the ritual of becoming a demon.
Even if there is no potion, even if the world is peaceful, as long as everyone still has evil thoughts, the demon race will flourish and continue to expand!
"Any research is meaningful."
The outer god chuckled wittily.
Hell and the real world interact smoothly, the soul is constantly thrown into it, God is casting a snare on the wicked, and fire, brimstone, and hot winds fall under His gaze.
The abyss watched mortals, and mortals found their place in hell.
In the crimson sky, the snow-bright sword light struck again, but there was no trend of breaking through the bamboo in the past.
The severed sky slowly recovered, and the sunlight was swept away from it.
The battlefield was chosen on the ocean, and the world was turned upside down as if it had ushered in the end of the world. But the roaring winds and thunders are always inexplicably weakened by the strange "decay", the authority of the earth is difficult to approach, the stagnant twilight is silent in the north of the world, the shining greatsword is stuck obliquely on the ground, and the light of the morning sun protects the Gargas Islands in the distance of the battle zone.
The blazing sun enveloped the golden rain of fire falling from the sky, and the flying pages and brass-colored eyes tried to parse and understand the authority and symbols of the strange deity, but only a few information could be retrieved.
All the great powers were intertwined, and before all the attacks could fall on the outer gods, the Fallen King raised his head, his eyes burning with flames suddenly swept over the three gods.
Suddenly, their minds were confused, their instincts for aggregation intensified, and their hostility to each other overpowered the hostility to the outer gods in an instant!
The next moment, the sun and the thunder tore together, the sky was illuminated by lightning and sunlight, the brass-colored eyes turned suddenly, constantly reading, writing, and revising the trajectory of their authority and ability attacks, and the wind rolled up feathery flames of light and fell on the sea and a small part of the land, and countless golden flames were ignited on the sea in an instant.
After a full two seconds, their battle suddenly stopped, and they were separated a little farther than before.
Wonderful.
The Declining King ended the curse of this warning, which meant more than it did, and was not prepared to reveal any more power.
After all, the power of demons is never just about combat power.
"Noble gods, as you can see, I am not your kind."
"Butβ"
"I may not be your enemy."
The monstrous demon's voice was mellow, and with a flap of his mhimbra wings, the dark blue fire rained down.
The Outer God laughed loudly, "I have come for my essentia and have not been truly hostile to you for thousands of years. It's also a normal convergence reaction to do what you need, and I may not be your enemy! β
"I don't need an anchor, I won't rob your land and people."
"I don't need your pathways, but I need demons and prisoners who have been tainted."
"In the same way, I also need a relatively safe environment to find what I need, to digest my newfound loot, and I will not actively be hostile to you. In response, if you are willing to give me a place to stay, I can give you the knowledge of the stars you need......"
He stopped, leaving an intriguing silence.
Don't you want to live?
It has taken you thousands of years and tens of thousands of years to get to where you are now, are you willing to bury this planet?
Don't you know that there is little hope of victory, and the only chance of winning may be to trade your life for ......
If we can survive, even if we give up some anchors, with the power of the true God, how can we not find new intelligent beings to preach again?
As soon as these words came out, the world seemed to be silent for a while.
The Church of the Gods may have warned the world countless times not to listen to the words of the devil, but at this moment, their gods were also bewitched by an almost irresistible temptation!
"Butβ"
"Someone has paid me to buy the life of a god from me......"
While the gods were still immersed in the unpleasant silence of the previous message, the demon suddenly turned around and rushed out like a meteor rising from the ground, leaving a thunderous explosion in its place, and white waves of air disengaged the sea and the remaining land!
In the deep darkness, a blazing sun slowly rose.
Without any hint or warning, He went straight to the sun!
At the same time, the shadow that seemed to be able to swallow the whole world quietly flowed to Intis, and people knelt down in circles around the outer perimeter of the Cathedral of Light and closed their eyes in prayer, and the brief chaos just now dissipated invisibly under the purification of the sun, making everyone's faith more solid.
Click.
The terrifying sound of biting and chewing suddenly shook the world and rumbled.
People looked up in amazement.
The sun in the sky still hangs there, butβ
A corner is missing.
The short silence was interrupted by the rain of fire falling from the sky, and the hot flames rushed to all parts of the northern continent, the golden blood and feathers ignited a raging fire, and the fear and despair instantly infected everyone's hearts, and a huge riot broke out in the whole territory of Intis!
The shadows temporarily cut off the spread of the disaster, and those golden blood sank into the shadows. In the gray world, the burning blazing wheel of light emitted a golden light, getting closer and closer to the direction of the sun.
"Judgment Day! Judgment Day! β
And not just those who howl in panic, everything that is tangible will be burned up, and everything on earth will be destroyed.
Then, in the new heaven and earth, righteousness dwells in it.
Fire and brimstone fell from the sky, and those who fled paused for a moment to be burned into crystalline pillars of salt by unimaginable heat.

In a lavish mansion where the riots had not yet spread, Ms. D was sitting at her desk, pondering her sentences.
Her demigod materials are complete, and she only needs the ritual to be promoted. For this reason, she plans to tell the good news to her old friend "Admiral of the Stars". Both of them are Sequence 5, and now she has the eyebrows of promotion, and she has a little pride in sharing.
But as soon as she put down her pen, Ms. D's eyes gradually widened, and her pen seemed to be no longer under her control, scribbling one horrible sentence after another on the gorgeous stationery, one after another hideous and strange pictures. Then, the pen in her hand slowly melted, and the ink and the gold shell melted together into a strange stain.
Ms. D looked at her hand in shock, and she suddenly realized that it was not a problem with the pen, but an abnormality in her body temperature!
The whole mansion was getting hot, and the sunflowers and all the light-loving plants in the garden were withering at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the ground was cracked, as if it had not rained for decades. Not only that, but everything in the interior has a tendency to melt!
When her hair began to curl and turn black, Ms. D fled the room, which seemed to be over fifty degrees Celsius, and ran to her little treasure trove, grabbed an inconspicuous door in the corner, broke the doorknob with all her might, and hid inside.
In an instant, the world in front of her went black, and the cold air enveloped her.
The Dark Sage walked around the office, his expression sometimes hideous and sometimes soft, as if he was fighting against himself.
Ms. D frowned, clenched her grip on the handle, and approached the wall, preparing to leave through another door.
"You're here."
He stopped and gave Ms. D a somewhat terrifying smile: "Don't go back to Intis ...... until it's all over"
ββ¦β¦ The Lord is taking back His authority and glory. β
Ms. D was stunned for a moment, then suddenly clenched the things in her hand.
With the political sensitivity of the Marquis's daughter, Irena suddenly realized that if the Church of the Eternal Sun lost power, and Aurora would prepare to take power and regain the glory of the "Ancient Sun God", then, then!
As the self of the Aurora Society, and as the great nobleman of Intis, it is very likely that he will be reused!
She will become the shadow of the Aurora Society's highest status in Intis, handling more church-related affairs, and divinity and power are within reach!
"Praise the Lord!"
Ms. D smiled happily.
"All glory be to the Lord!"
β¦β¦
Beckland.
The forces of tranquility have finally brought calm back to the city, but farther afield, chaos continues.
Audrey stayed at home, looking out the window at the distance, the streets were covered with blood and bullet holes, and the signs of these injuries would be cleaned up one by one once the riot was under control, and Beckland would return to its usual peaceful and prosperous appearance.
She saw that the church members in front of her were cleaning up the blockaded area of mutant monsters, which came out of nowhere, some looked like aberrant animals, some looked like deformed people. The members of the Church have been fighting against them for a long time, resisting the attacks of monsters and the erosion of all kinds of evil on themselves to protect the land.
Everybody's scared, everybody's terrified, they're exhausted, but they still haven't backed down.
Audrey withdrew her gaze with mixed feelings, and she shifted her gaze to another place, seeing the tied people in the garden.
Among them were servants, coachmen, gardeners, and handymen, who had committed acts of wounding and even murder during the previous vicious riots, and were now guarded and sent to the West Velas field after calming down.
The half-breed girl who had killed the maid who had bullied her was among them, her hands and face were covered with blood, her eagle-like eyes staring at the people with guns around her, and the other prisoners didn't want to come near her, so she just sat alone.
Suddenly, Audrey and the half-blood girl met eye contact, and a sneer gradually appeared on the latter's expressionless face.
She raised her hand, made a gesture of shooting, and aimed it at Audrey, who had stopped in the high pavilion to watch Audrey.
Then she pointed to one of the prisoners and shouted:
"He's got a gun!"
The moment the other people's eyes were drawn to it, she jumped to her feet and rushed towards the nearest guard with incredible explosiveness. The gun in the guard's hand was almost snatched away by her, and she twisted the muzzle of the gun with all her might, aiming it at the pavilion where Audrey was!
Bang!
The "Hand of Fear" distorted the trajectory of the bullet so that it didn't hit anyone, only a spark exploded on the masonry below.
Seeing this, the mixed-race girl laughed self-deprecatingly.
She muttered a few words before kicking the guard in the stomach hard, bringing the muzzle of the gun to her jaw.
Bang!
β¦β¦
"Won't lie? Hold back your desire to release yourself, you know that you have broken the law! Come, let me teach you, first use antique collections and extraordinary items to lure people over, and then, what to do, and then cheat them out of their money little by little, contact their families for ransom, and then hand them over to the local court, and when the severed hand is broken, the severed hand is the severed foot, and if there is a slave, a few slaves will cut off their fingers section by section, and if the fingers and toes are not enough, we will gouge out their eyes...... No, what am I talking about? β
β¦β¦
Trainor woke up from a dream, feeling his blood rushing up, his emotions irritable, and he wanted to find a lamb skewer to nibble on or get up and beat someone.
He rolled over in dissatisfaction and went back to sleep.
TBC

I'm writing it, I'm writing it.
How did Agaritu die, Agaritu directly went to the town to be a secret puppet.
