Chapter 78
Chapter 78
If one did not see it with their own eyes, perhaps no one would be able to imagine how cruel humans could be when facing their own kind.
The whole King's City had become a huge Asura Field. Killings were going on all the time. The priests drove the mortals away in a frenzy and ordered the ordinary believers to build small altars in designated places and perform the blood sacrifice in units of a thousand people.
Conscience and compassion were completely abandoned. When the mortals were driven mad by the irresistible reality, they became new beasts.
They began to use all the weapons at their disposal to attack all the people around them who might have been their friends or family. They used their lives to show their loyalty to the High God.
When they found that the beasts had obtained real power and were not killed, the rest of the people became even crazier. At this time, there was no need for the priests and believers to threaten them. They killed their own kind spontaneously. Their methods were even more cruel than the priests.
In the palace, Brown sat on the throne and listened to the clamorous screams in the city. Now, this was the safest place in the whole King's City. Compared to the madness outside, there was a strange calmness.
"Viscount Brown …" The white-robed priest, who used to be a knight's subordinate, knelt down and said.
"Call me priest, Priest Brown." He waved the white bone scepter in his hand and corrected the way his subordinate addressed him.
The white-robed priest followed the advice and said again, "Priest Brown, the final preparations for the blood sacrifice are almost complete. One hundred and thirty altars in the King's City have been built according to your instructions."
Brown was surprised and said, "So fast? Those lowly and foolish people have all been killed? "
The priest said with a strange expression, "No, Sir, they … don't need us to do anything. They have started to kill each other. They used the lives of their companions to pledge their loyalty to the High God. Most of the people who are still alive are believers of the High God. Only a few lowly people are still resisting."
Brown's eyes flashed with mockery, but his expression became serious. He stood up and said in an ethereal tone, "All living things are the people of the High God. But humans have been corrupted by greed and foolishness. Now, the High God is about to return to this world and establish the Kingdom of God."
Brown paused for a moment. Although the priests did not know why Brown said this, they still sang together, "Praise the High God."
Brown looked at them with satisfaction. "God says, those who have fallen can't get my love, and those who are lowly can't enter my kingdom." The priests all knelt down to listen to the oracle. Brown's tone became solemn. "We are the sons of God, the apostles. We should cleanse the world for the Supreme God and select the people. We should make the Kingdom of God pure and noble, untainted by filth. We should test the loyalty of the believers. Therefore, all the ordinary believers have to participate in the sacrifice to God. If they truly trust the Supreme God and are loyal to him, God will grant them rebirth."
Even though they were on the same side, the priests could not help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts after hearing Brown's words. They knew what Brown's words meant. It was an order to kill indiscriminately.
.....
Adam and the other three stopped in their tracks and looked back simultaneously. There was no need for reminders or questions. Every single one of them could smell the thick stench of blood wafting from the wind.
"Where?" Adam asked the Devil.
The Devil shook his head. "I don't know. It's very far away."
The other three looked very uncomfortable. In the past month, the Devil had become more and more sensitive to the energy of flesh and blood. He could often find the source hundreds of kilometers away. Now that the Devil could not sense it, it meant that the source was very far away. However, they could still smell such a strong smell of blood from such a far distance. One could imagine how crazy the sacrifice of the Supreme God was this time.
"Adam?"
"Let's go." Adam did not hesitate and directly ordered to set off towards the source of the blood. Although the west was the headquarters of the Supreme God, it had existed for two years. If there was really a change, it would have happened long ago. But this time, the sacrifice was real. The creatures from the other plane obtained the coordinates through the power of faith of the believers. The larger the scale of the sacrifice, the more sacrifices there would be. If there really was a powerful being from the other plane above level four who successfully came to the deserted island, Adam did not dare to bet that he would not have the ability to destroy Madeira Island in one blow. Therefore, the most important thing now was to stop this sacrifice.
Otherwise, even if the powerful being from the other plane was killed by the mages, their lives would not be saved.
Adam and the other three flew at high speed in the direction of the smell of blood. They found that all the towns along the way had been reduced to ruins. There were no residents in the cities. The scattered ruins of the cities in the wilderness looked like ancient ruins.
A day later, they came to a giant city that stood alone on the ground. Unlike the solemn Cold Maple City in the north and the bustling Harbor City in the south, this giant city was majestic and dignified. But now, they did not have time to admire it. Instead, they were enraged by the massacre that was going on in the city.
In their eyes, the whole city was surrounded by blood. 685 altars surrounded the original position of the palace like stars surrounding the moon. The palace that William had seen before had disappeared through the blood-red chains. It was replaced by a high platform made of countless white bones. On each step of the platform stood a number of white-robed priests. They held chains in their hands and silently watched the figure at the top of the altar insert his staff into the center of the altar.
William recognized that person at a glance. He roared, "Brown, are you crazy? As a noble, do you know what you are doing? "
His voice exposed the location of Adam and the other three. Adam coldly glanced at him and said, "Let's fight. Leave no one alive."
William knew that he had done something stupid. He did not dare to explain himself. His body surged with magic, and he was the first to attack the palace.
Brown looked up at the sky. His body had been strengthened by the energy converter, so he could see Adam at a glance. He revealed a maniacal smile, but he did not make any sound. He did not even care about the magic that was descending from the sky. He heavily inserted his staff into the center of the altar.
At the same time, all the blood-red chains emitted a red light. The 685 altars started to perform sacrifices at the same time. Countless lives were dying every second. Flesh and blood were gathered at the center of the altars through the blood-red chains. Then, they were converted into energy and shot into the core altar where Brown was.
The dissipating ripples formed a protective barrier that completely blocked the magic of Adam and the other three. Brown stood at the top of the altar and waited for the energy to enter. At the same time, he shouted, "The heretics will perish. The blasphemers will never be reincarnated!"
Then he looked at Adam in the sky and said silently, "Little b * stard, I want you to pay with your life."
