173. The Beginning of the Aberration
Although it was decided to open the ceremony, such a huge ceremony is not just an existence that can be opened casually.
The blockade and clearance of the Federation did not play a role, and the most complete appearance of this ceremony should have been coherent, and the launching ceremony only needed to stand in the center and follow the steps to start the ceremony after sufficient preparations.
But now they don't have such conditions, and they can't open the ceremony too high-profile, after all, the geographical center of the Federation is the capital, and the capital has more [lamp] attribute transcendents than other places, which is more martial law and dangerous, and even carving a formation in the dark corner of the capital is a very difficult and long-term thing.
It was also thanks to the high-ranking believers mixed in with the "human" community in the capital as a cover-up that the plan was successfully completed.
Thanks to the fact that the transcendent awakening has not been long in coming, and the way humans judge fanatical believers is too rough, so that high-level believers with [disguise] abilities can stay well in the human group.
Now, according to the Lord's prompt, they have slightly modified the launching ceremony of the formation, planning 13 starting points, as long as these 13 key formation positions are activated one by one in order, then this huge formation that widely affects the entire federation will be completely activated.
They had already prepared for this, and when they had prepared all the "sacrifices" needed for the ceremony, they returned to the dark, clammy tomb.
The worldly gems are not as He spoke, and what believers prepare is naturally the flesh and blood and organs of the transcendent.
In addition, nearly a hundred believers came down from the interior of the tomb, which was not too small, and all of them were high-level believers, although each of them was dressed in different clothes, but they all had the same fanatical expression on their faces.
Almost every believer who came in had a backpack behind them, and when the zipper was opened, they took out the flesh of the transcendents they had "hunted", most of which were well-preserved hearts, encased in strange blood-colored sealed glass bottles, the red liquid in the glass bottles seemed to have some kind of "active" quality, so these hearts were still beating slightly.
[Heart] is the source of strength, and it is also the place where the transcendent body contains the most extraordinary energy and vitality, and a good quality heart is enough to withstand hundreds of other organs of average quality.
And at this moment, when these believers took out the sacrifices they had brought from their backpacks, thousands of human transcendent hearts had gathered in this catacomb.
And that's just the starting point.
If the 13 points are all sacrifices of this number, it means that it will cost the lives of tens of thousands of transcendents as "ignition fuel", and this is only the launching ceremony of this huge formation, and its real fuel is all the creatures shrouded in the formation, and now, tens of thousands of human transcendents are only used as sporadic fires at the moment of ignition.
But this was not the end, when all the organs were placed in the prescribed positions, the hundreds of high-level believers knelt down in unison, and then the man led the way, opened his mouth and sang a string of obscure words, like some kind of incantation, and as if he was singing some kind of psalm.
Then, the believers who knelt down behind them also spoke in unison, and their neat and solemn voices echoed in the not too small tomb, their voices became louder and louder, as if they were calling for something, and when the psalms recited by the hundred people sang a certain chapter, finally, the formation on the ground began to glow slightly, as if responding to their voices.
So, at this moment, the man at the head showed an excited look on his face, decisively raised his left hand to make a fist, and then approached his wrist with the thumb of his right hand, and then used a slight force, the action was crisp and neat, and he directly cut his wrist with his nails.
The wound was very deep, and a large amount of blood instantly gushed out and sprinkled on the ground, and the moment the blood splashed on the ground, the faint light suddenly flickered.
The man at the head was just the beginning, and the hundreds of believers kneeling behind him didn't even need anyone's command or persuasion, all of them raised their left hand and slashed their wrists as if they had been ready for a long time, letting the blood continue to flow.
A large amount of blood poured out of these believers, as if it was not their blood, but some kind of fuel necessary to activate the formation.
The sacrifice was not only the thousands of hearts they had brought, but also their offerings, but none of the believers would question or run away from it, for in their view, it was not a great and glorious task, a way to contribute to the Lord and return to the Lord's arms, and to be chosen as an indispensable part of this plan is the supreme glory of being a believer!
In this atmosphere of almost madness, even if the blood on their bodies was greedily absorbed by the formation the moment they came into contact with the formation, even if they were believers with strong physiques, their faces were getting paler and paler, and even one after another people lost consciousness and fell to the ground, none of the believers showed a look of fear.
The formation will burn their blood, body, and even soul, and when everything here is reduced to nothingness, the first engine of the world will be ignited.
It is said that animals will sense in the face of imminent huge natural disasters, and then make early warnings, although the Federation is not facing natural disasters, but this ominous atmosphere more ominous than natural disasters seems to make some animals close to nature feel uneasy.
So, people saw a rather unusual scene, countless birds rushed to the sky and stirred their wings to try to stay away from the ground, the originally mild domestic dogs suddenly became restless and barked, and countless insects that were originally hidden in the ground suddenly appeared in unison at this time, and even rats came out of the sewers and scurried around the streets.
When a beam of sky-high red light rises from a remote mountain, the alarm rings throughout the Federation pierces the sky, and people finally realize that disaster has come.
Fortunately, the Federation was prepared for this, pacified the people as soon as possible, and went to the place where the red light rose.
It's just that when they arrived, it was already surrounded by red light, and any life that came within the range of red light would only be reduced to fuel and be drained of life and soul to sacrifice to the ritual.
The Federation tried many ways, but they couldn't get into it, not even intervene, and they tried to go deep underground, but the red light seemed to have no end.
So the Federation finally realized that this formation, once it was opened, could no longer be stopped.
And just by opening this formation, the Federation has begun to appear a little abnormal, the temperature has dropped, the bright sunlight of the past seems to be covered with a shallow shadow, and people will always have nightmares when they fall asleep, as if they have fallen into a sea of blood.
The mood of most ordinary people began to become irritable, and even the transcendent noticed that the transcendent energy contained in the air was gradually decreasing, and in its place, it was a restless factor adsorbed in the air, or rather, the [cup] attribute transcendent energy that began to slowly spread throughout the Federation.
