Chapter 127: Behemoth

With the support of sufficient psychological preparation and growing strength, Xiuge did not feel frightened by the scenes and things in front of him this time.

But he was still blown away.

In the shadow of the altar's pit, Shug saw a large writhing mass of "flesh".

They are clearly alive and belong to the same whole.

Compared to the chaotic and boundless body image of the Descendants of the Abyss, the huge being in front of him had a very concrete and ugly form—on its hideous and terrifying, huge body like a mountain of flesh, Xiuge saw a lot of limbs that were spliced and combined in some unknown way, some of these limbs were extremely strong, some were extremely weak and thin, but there was no doubt that they were actually "alive".

When the body to which they are attached shakes or breathes, these limbs will naturally make unconscious movements such as swaying and scratching.

Compared to the Descendants of the Abyss, this is obviously an existence that is easier to enter the nightmare of ordinary people.

According to Xiuge's own cognition and experience, this kind of monster that grows on a giant piece of flesh and splices a large number of limbs has a common name and title, that is, "abomination", which can actually be used to describe all hateful and hateful things, and the giant thing in front of him, which is obviously composed of the torsos and limbs of countless creatures, is very much in line with this concept.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

Alexandra saw everything before her eyes through the eyes of Hug, and after a brief moment of shock and panic, the legendary countess of the past suddenly realized something, and she said to Hug in a trembling voice, "That's them...... That's them!"

"You mean, this lump of meat is the family members who disappeared before?"

"It must be!"

Alexandra was sure, "Our powers have been combined, so I can be sure that this is them, or at least they are part of this monster!"

Listening to Alexandra's account, Shog took a heavy breath.

He took two steps to the side, completely disappearing into the shadows, his eyes rolling twice, and finally choosing a test bench on the inner side of the pit.

The bench was clearly set up for the beast, and was equipped with a wide range of equipment, including glassware that could be used as mirrors.

The power of the emissary in the mirror came into play, and Siug's mind and vision began to be extended by the magic, and after a few moments, his will had entered the surface of the translucent glassware, from which he was able to observe the terrible monster at a closer distance.

The main trunk of the "Abomination" in the altar pit was intact, and Hug did not see any signs of "stitching" on it, but after careful inspection, Hug managed to find a huge head at the top of the body - it was the head of a mouse, just like other blind mice, this head had no eyes on it, and its fur had been peeled off, so it looked like a skeleton wrapped in flesh.

As Xiuge watched carefully, the altar itself suddenly let out a low hum, and then, in a slight tremor, a blessed power belonging to Mother Earth flowed down the heavy chains that bound the behemoths.

….

In the magical vision provided by the Mirror Emissary, Shug noticed that the benevolent power of these gods was constantly pouring into the body of the giant beast.

This force was obviously stimulating, and the giant beast began to writhe, this action caused a series of sounds from the heavy demonic chains, and under the effect of the god's favor, the flesh-like body actually expanded slightly, and then, some of these weak limbs seemed to be strengthened to a certain extent, and they swayed vigorously, as if celebrating their "new life".

However, in the next second, the giant beast collapsed to the ground again, and with continuous vibration and humming, more favors were forcibly withdrawn from its body, and re-infused into the altar with the iron chain.

Such a scene made Xiuge a little puzzled.

He originally thought that the giant beast bound in the center of the altar in chains was actually some kind of magical creature that the Black Sun Society was "cultivating" using the Mother Earth Mystic Instrument, just like the Descendants of the Abyss that had been summoned by a special ritual before, and was an important weapon that could be released into the outside world to achieve a certain goal.

But in the immediate situation, this thing seems to be more like a battery.

Or, rather, some kind of "transit station" used to purify and transform power.

"The power of Mother Earth is directly related to fertility and life...... So the main body of this monster's body is actually a rat that grows under the stimulation of the power of the mother goddess?"

Shug cast his gaze to the back of the beast, and sure enough, there were many fleshy whiskers lying on the ground, and a tail coiled in the shadows behind it.

The beast looked very weak, and it lay quietly among the bones on the ground, as if it had fallen asleep.

After making sure that no other important information was missing, Xiuge's vision gradually returned to his own body.

"As it stands, it seems that the Black Sun Society has come up with an alternative method after discovering that there is no way to repair the altar of Mother Earth......

Shuge silently said his judgment in his mind: "They must have used some kind of experiment or special magical ritual to make a special transformation of those family members who have fallen here and have the same power as the secret rites."

"They fused all the 'mutinous, rat swarms, and then used the power of the Earth Mother Goddess Esoteric Ritual to catalyze them, causing their physical form to grow severely, from the size of an ordinary rat to a monster...... In the process, they may have put in many other 'materials, perhaps animals, or some unfortunate victims who have been alienated by the Esoteric Rites."

Shug simply addressed the Ernst family members with his observations: "Therefore, it is very likely that they have been forcibly transformed into the source of the power of this secret instrument, and I don't know how this mechanism works, but based on the previous situation, they should be trying to extract the power that the secret instrument has consumed in the past, or use this man-made giant beast to fill the gap in the secret instrument and keep the secret instrument functioning."

….

Shuge's reasoning caused Alexandra and the others to fall silent, and they silently exchanged views in Shuge's spiritual world.

This time, Jacob Ernst, who had rarely spoken before and was closest to Shuge's "blood relationship", stepped forward and said in a heavy tone, "Son, we have a request, and if your inference is not wrong, then we hope that you will be able to ...... it Or maybe they're going to get rid of it completely."

Expected request.

Moreover, the attitude is as fierce and resolute as expected.

"I understand."

Shug nodded in agreement, in fact, no matter what angle he considered, he would find a way to make the ritual work, and in the current situation, the easiest and most direct way to achieve this goal was to find a way to kill the beast that had been transformed into part of the altar.

Once he had his goals and thoughts clear, he continued down the pitch-black shadow, and soon he reached the edge of the pit.

It was littered with the remains of all sorts of creatures, which must have been around very, very long, and many of them were indistinguishable fragments, and these skeletons formed the floor of the entire altar pit, and it is unknown how much they had piled up.

Considering that the entire altar was shaped into a large sacrificial pit, Shuge seriously suspected that there had been countless bloody sacrifices in the past, and that the scale might have been very large, and judging by the stone statues, this ritual was probably dug out of the relics and documents of the Lost Age by the Black Sun Society, except that the sacrifices they could offer must not have been the creatures and clans of the past who believed in Mother Earth, but ordinary people, domestic animals, or some captured magical creatures.

Some of the things that have been mutated through the power of the secret instrument have the basics

The remains of the rat form were among them, but they were only a handful.

"The Black Sun Society must have been using sacrifices to keep this ritual alive in the past...... Judging by the size of the altar and the scale of the sacrifice, it is likely that the Ernst family is only a convenient move by them, and the real goal is to use the influence of the Ernst family to cover up the sacrificial ritual and use the power of the secret rite to transform those important targets that have been singled out."

With his toes, Shug gently flicked a severely deformed skull, which should belong to a modified member of the association or an ordinary person, as the skull had both human and rat characteristics, and the changes were very incomplete.

"It seems that the Black Sun Society must hope to restore and create creatures that once belonged to that distant era through this long period of experimentation and sacrifice...... After all, they believe in the Black Sun, so in the eyes of the members of the Black Sun Society, all beings who have been active under the Black Sun should be sacred."

Shuge walked slowly on the pile of bones, and in the process, it was impossible not to make a sound, and with each step, a series of sounds were made, and these sounds naturally attracted the attention of the giant beast, which awoke from its slumber, its massive, bloated body trembling slightly, like a terrible worm.

….

It instinctively moved its body in the direction of Xiuge, and this action tugged at the huge chains that held its body in place, and in the midst of the violent metallic sound, the monstrous-looking beast had already straightened the chains before it could take two steps, making it no longer able to move on.

The limbs and tendrils that had been used to prop up its body collapsed again, and it slammed its body into the pile of bones, some of which had sharp bone spurs even digging into its flesh, but no blood flowed out, as if they were just a tattered pocket.

The Running Rat, which had been quiet for a long time, chirped slightly, and the blind rat carrying Jacob's will appeared on its back, and with Shog's permission, Snicky carried Jacob to run nimbly through the pile of bones, and soon it came to the side of the beast.

The beast was clearly aware of this, and though the difference in size between the two sides had been exaggerated to the point of outrageousness, it struggled to turn its large, ugly head around, and let out a dull, thunderclap-like cry.

The two sides began to communicate in a way that was unique to rats.

Of course, Shuge couldn't understand their language, but through the magical connection and the "translation" of Snicky and Jacob, he was able to understand the content of the conversation between them.

"Mother...... Save me, save me......"

It was the voice of the beast, it was crying for help.

However, Shug was not sure whether the "mother" it meant by Mother Earth or the unconscious murmur of the remnants of the human will in despair.

There is a huge difference between the two.

Jacob began a temptation, trying to pronounce the names of the souls that had been lost here.

"Muller? Daniel?"

He kept trying, hoping for some response.

However, the beast's consciousness was clearly chaotic, repeating simple words and concepts, some of which were vague longings conveyed through magic, and some of which were made by the heavy sounds of the body.

Jacob didn't give up, he continued to call by name, but his voice gradually fell, and it wasn't long before he gave his last names in a deep disappointment.

"Andris?"

"Lorenz?"

"Imini?"

Just as he was about to give up completely, the beast suddenly reacted to Jacob's last name, its huge body trembling slightly, and then a dull voice sounded, and this time Shuge got a very clear translation.

"Imini? Imini ......"

It's repeating the woman's name, seem

The name succeeds in evoking memories that have been almost forgotten in the midst of pain and suffering.

The chain shook again, and the ugly beast seemed to come back to life at this moment, arching forward twice with force, but the action accidentally broke several limbs that had been spliced underneath it.

But the behemoth didn't care.

It repeated the name over and over again, the chains shaking: "Save Imini, save Imini!" Mom, save Imini!"

Of course, when these words came out of its mouth, they turned into a dull and terrible roar.

Taking advantage of Jacob's silence, Shug secretly shifted his consciousness to the metal disc, and he asked the rest of the family wills who remained in the metal disc, "...... is Imini?"

The disc's nest was very quiet, and it took a while for Alexandra's voice to come out.

"Poor Jacob, he must have regretted why he should be buried with his wife?"
