Chapter 80: The Last Sacrifice
Thanks to Keisuke Aoi's help in stabilizing the form, the festival is about to begin in earnest, and the treacherous spirit snake dances wildly, leaving deep traces in the sky and the earth.
The traces then coalesced into a mystical incantation, inscribed on the blood-colored altar.
The living who were "sacrifices" also came out of the shadows in a daze, and immediately knelt down in front of the bonfire.
They sleep in a recurring dreamscape, deepening their connection with "Toyojin", outlining the wonders of Toyojin's past, and offering distorted and treacherous beliefs, which in turn affect and transform themselves.
Eventually, the last embers of the blood of the gods were sacrificed with their lives.
The ritual music of the gods gradually changed.
The holy is gone, the darkness is forever!
At the front of the procession, the tall priest took a dagger, carefully and meticulously gouged out his eyes, and threw them into the flames.
Then, he took the remains of the Fengjin God handed over, the water of the past Fengjin Lake, and the heart of the Daze Mountain spirit object, and threw them into the flames.
"Extremely, maximum!"
He turned his back to the campfire, raised his arms and shouted, "When God comes!" ”
Blood trickled down his pale face, and he became hideous and terrifying, and the empty eye sockets of the priest seemed to still be able to penetrate everything and feel the gaze of the Holy Spirit.
Then his expression returned to calm, even serene and happy.
Then, with a smile, he fell backwards and voluntarily fell into the flames.
"The time has come to God!"
The curse of the human form instantly rioted, and they also rushed towards the bonfire, offering their only curse to the supreme god to help him complete the foundation of the gods.
Soon, the entire core of spirituality was completely infected by them, and every trace was controlled by their will.
Living people kneeling in front of the campfire, marionette-like figures, also slowly moving towards the flames.
The mighty and terrifying Kagura then sounded, following the spirituality, resounding throughout the Pure Domain.
"It's amazing."
If it weren't for the information provided by Maple Leaf, Keisuke Aoi would only think that what was in front of him was a blood-colored festival driven by the curse instinct of Mt. Osawa.
It is essentially a curse of hatred and anger against life.
But now it seems that this festival is clearly the enthronement ceremony of the new gods!
The opportunity that Maple Leaf gave up was grasped by what was bred inside the shrine.
Or maybe it's all the same spontaneous drive of the curses - the possibility is even more alarming, and Keisuke Aoi guesses that it's probably the blood of the gods that has influenced these curses.
But even though he had fully recovered his spirituality in his long dream, he really had no room to sit idly by and watch the ritual be completely completed.
- What a pity.
It is impossible to witness the birth of this powerful enemy.
He sighed, as if slowing his breath, and then reached out toward the massive campfire, his thumb touching the fishline of his middle finger, then rubbing and parting gracefully.
A crisp vacuum burst from the bones.
"Smack!"
Hoshino subconsciously looked at Keisuke Aoi's fingers, and then there was a creepy shock for a moment, as if some invisible huge monster passed by her.
"Stop ......"
Aokeisuke murmured softly, and in an instant, in the sky, a full ten brilliant stars composed of secret instruments were extinguished.
This spirit, which has never had a master, instantly turned into the power of Aoi Keisuke, and the law of words and spirits descended.
All the sacrifices, including the ritual that reached the halfway point, were temporarily suspended at the will of Keisuke Aoi.
The secret instrument cast by Keisuke Aoi is the crystallization of a high degree of magic and arcane knowledge, and its own function is to block changes and gather energy, so that it can take on a form as large as a star.
If he puts in enough of them, he can even directly stop the operation of the Net Domain Core.
But such a drastic method is bound to be counterattacked by the Pure Domain's madness.
So he now blends violence and delicacy, pressing the pause button on the massive ritual, and then wantonly altering the second half of the ritual.
The frenzied spirituality stirs up a violent wind, with the urge to destroy the world, and wants to tear apart all the fanatics who dare to offend the gods.
But Keisuke Aoi had already hidden himself and Hoshino in this spirituality, and he couldn't feel the wrath of this believer at all.
The curse, which had been fully assimilated with the spirit, roared wildly and poured into the giant bonfire, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall flame giant that sprinkled flames throughout the space.
The giant's massive fists crushed every inch of the earth, tongues of fire swirled, and just as he was about to smash all the survivors to death, Keisuke Aoi suddenly appeared directly in front of the fist, blocking the heavy punch of destruction.
"The ceremony, I've already made it up for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably large suction force suddenly sucked the flame giant towards the gate of the shrine.
"I ...... God! ”
The giant of flames was twisted into a red vortex, and all of them were swallowed into the shrine's gates.
The pair of copper-brown gates were like a greedy mouth, devouring all the free spirits at the core, turning into flame-like markings that spread to every part of the shrine.
All the darkness and treachery seemed to disappear in an instant.
Only Kagura, which is dedicated to the gods, gradually becomes solemn and sacred again with the sound of drums.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”
A heart-like sound of agitation emanates from the depths of the shrine, and the things that are conceived in it are finally ripened and begin their own metamorphosis.
The blood-colored altar collapsed silently, and all the power contained within it was extracted.
Keisuke Aoi watched this scene expectantly, and by the way, sent the survivors and Hoshino to a location far away from the shrine.
Fujiko Hoshino doesn't know what to say about Keisuke Ao's behavior anymore - he clearly has a way to destroy the ritual directly just now!
The ancient and mournful groan reappeared, and Aoi Keisuke followed the voice and pushed open the door of the shrine.
"Presumptuous! Licentious! Licentious! ”
"Blasphemy! Desecrate! Desecrate! ”
The surging spirituality brought the believer's final roar, which was then snuffed out by Qinggui's hand.
He walked through the door and saw a shrine in the worship hall bound by layers of blood-colored chains, which were like umbilical cords, into which the last of the nourishment was fed.
"I'm here to witness you."
"Come and destroy you."
He replied loudly to what had been bred in the shrine, and the undisguised hostility immediately caused a violent reaction from the shrine, and after the altar, the shrine began to crumble, and the greedy desire to absorb it seemed to devour even the self.
However, the ritual of ascending to the god has been modified by Sei Keisuke, and it is no longer possible for him to eat all the nutrients of the entire pure realm.
Life inside the eggshell is forcibly deprived of the right to inherit nutrition.
Such a grievance made the sound of a furnace exploding in the shrine.
Aokeisuke seemed to suddenly sense something, and without hesitation, he condensed a stone sword and threw it at the shrine.
"Boom!"
"Don't secretly focus on our cold beauty president anymore, she will only hurt you!"
With a roar, the wooden door of the shrine suddenly opened, and the unknown thing stretched out a red hand and climbed on the edge of the wooden frame, and then roared sadly:
"Cry! Cry! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
