I Am God!

The ceremony begins.

The light spreads from the flame altar, spreads out in circles along the lines and symbols on the ground, and connects to the ghouls standing at the nodes.

The rays of light connect to the dream world, which is the origin of all power, the destination of all spirits, and the country where the gods live.

Thurow stood in the center of the ceremony, while Ackerman stood at the edge of the altar.

Invisible strong pressure surged from the surroundings, giving people the impression of a strong wind blowing from nowhere and colliding together.

The cloak on Sero's body shook violently, and Ackerman also swayed a few times before finally standing next to the ritual formation.

"Spirit!"

"Curse seal."

A huge black shadow flowed out of Thro's body, and finally the gray plague blood curse merged together.

"The blood of myth."

According to the method of divine grace, his divine blood was also extracted from the body; this method was more precise than the surgery used by Thro before, with the help of the power of curse.

The silver stream of light slowly overflowed, and the extremely huge shadow was suppressed by the strong pressure from the spiritual world into a divine blood unit invisible to the naked eye. The gray plague blood curse was also completely combined with the divine blood. Together.

That's it.

The three elements of wisdom and power are the curse seal, divine blood, and spirit combined into one.

The Divine Grace Stone appears.

The moment it appeared, it drained the huge amount of divine blood from Sero's body and turned it into a silver stone.

Immediately afterwards, the stone began to merge with Sero's body.

However, after Thoro used the Abyss Divine Grace Technique, the organ deified by the Divine Grace Stone was not the brain, but another organ in his body.

He merged into the stomach of the Seed of Gluttony, and now he was emitting light, completely integrated with the Divine Grace Stone.

The seed of gluttony began to take shape, turning into the stomach of gluttony.

Mythical organ.

"ah!"

Sero suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, and the terrifying devouring force came out of Sero's stomach.

There seemed to be a black hole in his belly, setting off a violent storm that swept up everything around him.

Sweeping through the entire underground cave.

A dozen ghouls nearby who were unable to stand were swept up, dissolved into black shadows in mid-air, and were eventually swallowed into Thro's belly.

In the huge cave, hundreds of people and inhuman monsters were pulled directly from the ground, as if they were involved in a tornado.

Everyone was horrified.

It wasn't until Sero closed his mouth that he finally landed on the ground.

Ackerman was also holding on to the pillars of the altar. He always looked paralyzed and looked at Sero with a hint of shock.

Just a whistle has such power.

The worlds of the third level and the fourth level can be said to be worlds apart.

It can be seen that Sero's appearance has also changed slightly. After all, the Plague Blood Curse is different from ordinary curse seals. It originated from a curse and countless people's evil thoughts, and it seems to have the characteristics of spiritual origin.

It is possible to change some of the body characteristics of the twisted intelligence species through the original connection between the divine blood and the body.

It can be seen that Sero's face turned pale and without any blood, and the blood in his body was probably turned into thick, almost black plasma.

at the same time.

All the ghouls in Eclipse City seemed to feel something.

Regardless of whether they were in the cave or not, they all looked in the direction of Sero at the same time.

They sensed the presence of a being above them in the world.

The Ghoul King is born.

Thoro stood in the center of the altar, feeling his own power, the power that transcended the limits of mortals and touched the boundaries of myth.

Although just touching the lowest boundary, it already gives people the illusion of omnipotence.

"What a powerful force."

"The agent of the gods on earth, the power of the apostle."

Sero waved his hand.

The power of the plague blood curse emanated from his mythical organ, and an invisible force spread.

The mental force field immediately emitted from his body and connected to every ghoul present.

His field was combined with the ghouls, and the entire underground cave became his field.

One after another, the ghouls suddenly burst out with powerful power, and with the blessing of Thro's power, they turned into third-level ghouls.

And Sero himself is like a god in this ritual formation and field.

Ackermanmon watched everything about Sero.

"It turns out that you don't need to be a believer in any god to become an apostle."

"The so-called apostle is just a name for someone whose power reaches a certain stage."

Sero gathered his strength and suddenly appeared next to Ackerman.

Said to him.

"Second seat!"

"The way you think is very good. You are becoming more and more like an uninhibited person."

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Thoreau laughed.

"that's all."

"Keep moving forward, keep moving forward."

"There are no taboos, there is nothing that cannot be tried, and you can display your talents without restraint or restraint."

Ackerman looked at this crazy corpse eater, this being who was constantly pursuing power and never seemed to be satisfied.

Ackerman asked Sero: "Chief, you already have the power of the apostle."

"This is already the pinnacle of power in the world."

"Are you still not satisfied?"

At this moment, Sero felt the unparalleled power he possessed, and he could also feel something calling him from a distant place.

He can perform the ceremony at this moment, try to step into the abyss, and meet his own test of the King of the Abyss.

After passing the test, you can be given the laws of the abyss and become the true king of the abyss.

But this is not enough.

The ordinary King of the Abyss is not enough to satisfy him, he wants to become stronger, even the strongest in the abyss.

Although he didn't know that there was a reincarnated stage above the apostles, which was far beyond the ordinary apostles.

It is the step in which the apostles truly break away from human existence and move towards mythology.

But he knows.

Apostles are far from the end. Apostles are nothing in the eyes of real gods. Those who have already become kings of the abyss have more power than ordinary apostles.

He wants to become stronger and he wants to devour the city.

He devoured more divine blood, and he wanted to create a large number of powerful ghouls and take the other party with him into the abyss.

Sero stood on the altar and looked at the ghouls lying on the ground: "We've only gotten there now. I haven't reached my limit yet."

Ackerman looked at Sero: "Where is your limit?"

"chief."

"I had a question I wanted to ask you a long time ago. Why are you chasing power so crazily?"

Thro told Ackerman: "For what?"

Sero opened his hands, as if shouting to the world.

"No one can look down on me anymore, to prove my talent."

"To declare to all those who dare to despise me, I, Sero, am not a mortal, I can surpass everyone."

Ackerman: "That's it?"

Thurlow: "That's it?"

"Second seat, are you laughing at me?"

Ackermann: "I just find it difficult to understand."

Ackerman didn't understand why he had to prove anything. Being strong was strong and there was no need to prove it.

If a person can control his own destiny and gain complete freedom, why should he care about the thoughts and will of other beings? He is the only one.

Thoreau: "Then why do you want to gain power?"

Ackerman said: "To control your own destiny."

Sero couldn't help but laugh: "That's it?"

Thurlow also felt that Ackermann's idea was too funny. It was a false proposition and unrealistic.

Everyone's joys and sorrows are different. What you regard as life may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others.

What you believe to be the truth and are willing to do anything to pursue it may be extremely ridiculous in the eyes of others.

Ackerman: "But at least, you and I are willing to give everything to pursue what we want, and are willing to go crazy for it."

"In this regard, we are somewhat similar."

Sero laughed. Ackerman was talking a lot today, and it seemed like the two of them really revealed their inner thoughts for the first time.

Although it seemed like there was a conflict over words, we got to know better what kind of person the other person was.

Thoro asked about Ackerman. He had been preparing for a long time, researched many methods of corpse-eater rituals, and tried many formulas of materials.

"You have been planning for so long, it's time to enter the third level!"

"how?"

"Are you afraid that you can't handle the madness?"

Thuro said with some disbelief: "Don't you not believe in your own will and your own madness above those wastes and idiots?"

"Second seat."

Ackerman: "I like a more secure approach."

Serro never considers anything safe. He is a genius who walks on a tightrope. He is a risky gambler, so he soars into the sky like a flaming meteor.

But Ackermanmon is different. He likes to take everything into his own hands, maximize his winning rate, and even arrange an escape route for himself.

However, Thoro heard another meaning from Ackermanmon's words.

"You haven't decided yet?"

"Come with me to the abyss."

Sero turned his head: "Don't you think you still have a choice?"

"Become a madman, a prop or extraordinary material."

"It's better to choose to enter the abyss."

"Or he might stay in this world and be dragged out and burned to death by the apostles, becoming a clown recorded in the annals of history."

Ackerman said nothing.

Thurlow said: "You will definitely choose in the end."

"Ackermanmon."

"As I said, there are often no choices in this world; we just have to find a way out of this choice."

"Don't be afraid of the enemies ahead."

“Don’t be afraid of the abyss beneath your feet.”

“No matter which direction we go, the paths we take meet places.”

"Even if we fall, even if we fall into the abyss, we will fight our way out of the abyss."

It seems that Thoro really wants to bring Ackerman into the abyss together, and the two of them become fellow travelers together.

Crazy people are lonely, and it is difficult for them to find companions in this world.

And Ackerman was the first crazy person that Sero met, who was able to be unfettered and come up with one crazy idea after another that went beyond conventional ideas.

Although this guy looks normal.

But from the first time he met him, Sero saw that the target he chose to eat corpses was his lover, and saw his crazy laughter at the night banquet, and he knew what kind of existence he was.

Ackermanmon changed the subject and asked about the next plan.

"You have obtained the power of the apostle, and the Corpse Eater plan has been launched. When are you going to start the last step?"

Thuro had already thought about it: "It will be on the last day of this month."

Ackerman counted the days: "That's only a few days."

This peaceful city, the sleeping civilians.

They don't know that a disaster is coming, and what will greet them may not be death, but something more terrifying than death.

Ackermanmon has no emotions. He has no feelings for anything in this city. This place is just a cage for him.

The city was wiped out, and no matter how many people died, he didn't feel anything.

He is the king of snakes.

A king of snakes abandoned by all people.

Thoro is preparing to hold a huge ceremony in Eclipse City, turning all qualified people in the city into ghouls, and then devour everyone who is left.

In the end, they fell into the abyss together and became the most powerful king of the abyss.

Sero was extremely excited.

"I have already thought about it. I will do it in front of everyone, in front of the apostles, and in front of the Lord of Purgatory."

"Declared to be falling into the abyss, and they looked at me with helpless expressions."

His eyes were extremely expectant, and he finally whispered.

"I have been extremely eager to devour this city and completely wipe it from this world."

Ackerman: "Swear an oath to the abyss?"

Ackermanmon has also heard of such a legend. It is said that the King of the Abyss will swear an oath when he falls into the abyss.

Just specify why this is and what role the oath has.

He doesn't know.

——

The Palace of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Ackerman returned to his palace, and what came to greet him was his wife, who still looked hypocritical and seemed to be concerned about where he went.

"The Archon's wife invited me to the ball today, asked me to say hello to you, and gave you a set of ancient books."

Ackerman answered vaguely and went to the home of another nobleman.

This is not false. He usually has a set of reasonable explanations for his actions and doesn't see any big problems.

Then he continued: "I don't like balls. Next time you bring a gift to the consul's wife to express your gratitude."

But as soon as Ackermann lay down, someone sent news from a hidden channel.

It was sent by divine magic, and when I opened it it was written on it.

"Apostle Sukob returned and secretly met with the Supreme Consul?"

Ackerman immediately stood up and no longer felt sleepy at all.

"Sukob, the God of Truth and Knowledge, has returned at this time. Did he just return, or did he feel something?"

"His return will definitely affect our plans."

"besides."

"Why did he secretly meet with the Supreme Consul? There was no news when he came back, and he went directly to the Palace of Ten Thousand Snakes. What on earth did he want to do?"

Ackerman felt keenly that something was wrong, but he couldn't confirm it.

He ordered people to investigate again, but no further news came.

Being able to penetrate his information channels into the home of the supreme consul was already his limit.

If he wanted to find out any information, it would not be something he could do easily.

But he responded quickly.

He sent out another second-level ghoul beside him: "Check to see if there is any movement in the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes."

Near dawn, he got another piece of news.

"There is something strange happening in the Temple of Ten Thousand Snakes."

"It seems to be the order of the Earth Witch, or even the will of the gods."

This god is naturally the Ruch Titan behind the Earth Witch.

Based on this news, Ackerman was immediately determined.

"The other party must have discovered the situation."

"At least I feel that they are preparing to make big moves in Eclipse City."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big movement. It's the Supreme Archon of the Apostle Sukobu Conclave and the order from the Earth Witch to the Temple of the Ten Thousand Snakes."

"Who else deserves such a big move besides us?"

If Ackerman hadn't been the King of Snakes, or if he hadn't mastered the intelligence network of the Corpse Eater Secret Cult and penetrated into every corner, it would have been too late by the time they reacted.

Although Ackerman's expression was solemn, he was not surprised.

He felt from the beginning that it would be very difficult for Thurro to completely hide it from everyone before the plan started.

Expecting the other party to not react and catching everyone off guard requires a certain amount of luck.

As for Ackerman, he doesn't like luck very much.

"Thoro must be notified immediately."

"Let him terminate his plan and avoid the opponent's edge."

Ackerman didn't wait any longer and set off immediately before dawn, leaving the secret passage.

He wanted to meet with Thurlow in person to convince him.

——

In a luxurious mansion.

As Thoro became an apostle, he merged with the Seed of Gluttony.

He was called by the abyss again.

He once again saw the existence in the bronze mirror and the mythical door standing in the deepest part of the abyss.

Since the last time the other party's existence was reflected in the bronze mirror, Sero has put away or destroyed all the mirrors in the mansion.

But this time.

The other party didn't use a mirror at all.

Sero walked through the long corridor in the mansion, and his shadow swayed under the light, constantly elongating backwards, and even gave people the feeling that the shadow had exceeded the size of the house.

But soon, the shadows of people and objects began to shake violently, as if they were dancing.

The god-like being appeared in front of Sero in the form of a shadow.

"Boom!"

Sero heard the sound of the door opening, and his consciousness was pulled in for a moment.

The little ceramic figure, the messenger of the God of Original Sin, was sitting under the Gate of Myth, still clapping at Thuro just like last time.

It seemed that he was congratulating Thoro on becoming an apostle and taking the first step to become the King of the Abyss.

"Not bad, I became an apostle so quickly."

"It looks like you are in a hurry!"

"Are you so eager to become the king of the abyss?"

Thuro said to the messenger of the God of Original Sin: "What do you want to say to me this time?"

Compared with before, his performance this time was much better.

At least he wasn't so frightened that he couldn't even speak under the gate of mythology.

The messenger of the God of Original Sin was still the same as before, looking down at him from above.

"The abyss has opened its door to you and is ready to give you a test."

"Have you thought about your vows?"

"mortal."

Thoro looked at the messenger of the God of Original Sin: "Is it an oath sworn to the abyss?"

"I've already thought about it."

The little ceramic man smiled wildly and said to Sero.

"Do you think this is your declaration of victory?"

"No!"

"You must represent the ghoul clan and make an eternal oath to the existence of the Crown of Wisdom to be successful."

Sero looked confused: "Crown of Wisdom?"

"what is that?"

Ceramic villain: "It is an artifact that witnesses the oath made by the intelligent species. The contract is only valid if he witnesses it."

"Only will I be given the authority of the King of the Abyss and power beyond mortals."

It sounds like the Crown of Wisdom is just a thing that makes a contract.

Sero asked again: "Why do you represent the ghoul clan?"

Ceramic villain: "The King of Lust, Meld, is also the King of the Eagle Demon, the King of Arrogance is also the King of the Bone Demon, and the King of Rage is also the King of the Fire Corpse."

"Of course you will take the ghouls into the eternal abyss and become their eternal king."

"Isn't it?"

"Or mortal, you can't understand the meaning of a king. Can a being who doesn't even have servants be called a king?"

This explanation seems quite reasonable.

In a few words, the little ceramic man set the format for the oath that Sero would make.

Even in order to allow Sero to swear the oath, the ceramic villain spared a lot of the bad taste he had in the past, and surprisingly did not make things difficult or play tricks on Sero, the son of gluttony.

Just don't know.

Is this a good thing or something more tragic?

Because this means that he has moved from the palm of the ceramic villain to the table of the God of Original Sin.

The terrible and evil god had now noticed this crazy guy.

Thoro also didn't know what the process of the Abyss Oath was like, and he had never heard of the Crown of Wisdom and the Wisdom Seed Oath, which involved the secrets of the root.

I just thought that this was an extremely normal process and a fixed procedure for becoming the King of the Abyss.

and.

The divine grace spell given by the ceramic villain last time was correct, and there was no problem with the Gluttony Seed.

At least it can be seen that the ceramic villain is really choosing him to become the King of Gluttony.

Guidance was given once again, and the shadow of the little ceramic man continued to lengthen his voice.

"Gathering together the seven kings of the abyss will make the abyss stronger and make the God of Original Sin greater."

"mortal."

"You should be honored to be a part of God's glory."

Thoro didn't feel there was any glory in this at all, and he had no respect for the God of Original Sin or all the gods.

All he wants now is to gain strength, to gain stronger strength step by step, and to complete miracles that surpass the past step by step.

The sound of the door of original sin closing sounded.

The dark world kept getting farther and farther, and Sero returned to his body again.

He was still standing in front of the wall, facing the shadow under the light.

Sero faced his own shadow and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time.

He let out a chuckle.

He walked towards his room. He did not rest, but stood under his plague blood curse ritual diagram.

The picture is on a map.

Map of Eclipse City.

The entire Lunar Eclipse City was shrouded in rituals, and the core of everything was the cave beneath the Lunar Eclipse City.

The underground passages and canals will also become the starting point for the ceremony.

No one can imagine what kind of things there are underneath this glamorous city.

Behind the Gate of Original Sin.

Above the flesh and blood stars.

The little ceramic man came to the table, saluted with a somewhat funny gesture, and spoke in a flattering voice to the evil god sitting on the throne.

"O great God of Original Sin!"

"Are you satisfied with the King of the Abyss I have chosen for you this time?"

A moment ago, he was still aloof, calling Sero a mortal like a god.

He became a little man on the table, trying his best to attract the attention of the God of Original Sin, like a dancing circus monkey.

Xiao: "You did a good job this time."

"The ghoul he created is somewhat interesting, and he has taken a different path."

In the view of Xiao, the God of Original Sin, the most important identity of Thuro is not that he is the son of Gluttony, or that he is the original sin.

These are just supplements to the God of Original Sin.

What he really cared about was that Sero actually created such a being as a ghoul.

What he wants is to once again witness another person swearing the Oath of the Crown of Wisdom, and then the person who takes the oath falls into the abyss, so that he can see with his own eyes the essence of the Oath of the Crown of Wisdom.

It even allowed him to witness the source of wisdom with his own eyes.

But even he is not sure whether it can succeed.

There is a problem involved.

What is race.

"Can ghouls be considered a race?"

"How is race defined in the Crown of Wisdom?"

Xiao didn't know how the Crown of Wisdom defined race.

According to Xiao's thinking, it seems difficult for ghouls to be called a race.

They are more like advanced professions such as wizards, alchemists, and sky angels, rather than a race. They are attached to snake people and winged people, and cannot reproduce themselves.

At least only beings like monsters that can inherit themselves without other races, or beings like abyssal species that can reproduce themselves in the abyss, can be called a race.

but.

Even if it doesn't succeed, you can still collect a lot of useful things and data, so it won't be a loss at all.

There is such a suitable opportunity, suitable materials, and a suitable experiment.

It’s already very rare.

The little ceramic figure was praised by Xiao, and he immediately danced with excitement.

"god!"

"I will definitely do better, just watch."

"Watch the show I have arranged for you."

And the other side.

Sukobu, who had just visited the King of Snakes, appeared under the Door of Truth.

Asai, the god of truth and knowledge, transformed into a young man, grabbing his cane and looking at the world under the sea of ​​clouds.

At this time, the Gate of Truth seems to have floated near the Ruhe Island, but it is only on the periphery.

You can see that the black storm that isolates the sea stretches for thousands of miles, connecting the sky and the ocean.

As soon as Sukob appeared, the God of truth and knowledge was heard.

"see it?"

Sukob asked, "What's wrong?"

"God Asai!"

God Asai: "The black mythical storm surrounding the giant island of Ruhe has weakened."

Sukob was stunned, he didn't know what this meant.

Even Asai only vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say it directly.

Maybe it’s because it’s not fully confirmed, or maybe it’s because I feel like I can’t say it yet.

Sukob came to see the gods for a very important matter.

"god!"

"I may have discovered the evil plans of the Abyss."

"They should be preparing to do something in Eclipse City, most likely selecting a new King of the Abyss."

Apostles are still very rare in this world. A force that can create apostles must have something to do with gods.

Because the divine grace is in the hands of the gods, others cannot easily get it.

And this time there are signs of evil forces.

There is a high probability that it is related to the abyss.

Sukobu has his own affairs on weekdays and will not take the initiative to find the Abyss Order. The God of Truth and Knowledge has not given him this mission.

But Sukob still knew clearly that the evil god of original sin in the abyss was the mortal enemy of the god of truth and knowledge.

He hit it directly this time, so naturally he would not fail to report it to the God of Truth and Knowledge.

Asai held his cane and looked at the storm in the distance.

He seemed to be completely immersed in a certain question and deep thought. It wasn't until Sukob finished speaking that he woke up from that state.

"resemble?"

"I've been busy with the Fruit of Wisdom lately, and I don't have time to worry about him falling into the abyss."

"It seems like he's doing well. He's quite used to being in the filth and mud."

Sukob knew that Xiao Hexia was the name of the evil god of the abyss, but he had not yet become a god and did not dare to call the myth directly.

God Asai said to Sukob: "Since he dares to come, you will take it."

"I'll support you."

"If you can defeat the conspiracy of the abyss, whatever you want to do next in the Court of Ten Thousand Snakes will be easy. The Temple of Knowledge may also appear in the Ten Thousand Serpents' Court."

"The steps for you to ascend to the throne of God can also be smoother."

Sukob was overjoyed to receive God's support.

"God Asai!"

"I will never let the original sin evil god's plan succeed."

Asai smiled: "If it is really his plan, then it is not something you can handle. What you should do is to open the door of truth immediately to save your life."

God Asai turned around and still stared at the black storm.

"Go!"

"If anything happens, report it to me immediately."

Asai, the god of truth and knowledge, waved his hand and sent Sukob's shadow back, disappearing into a mirage.

On the surface, the problem that is about to erupt in the Lunar Eclipse City is a confrontation between the parties represented by Thuro, Ackermanmon and Sukob.

But it is also the confrontation between the power of the evil god of original sin and the god of truth and knowledge in the human world.

Perhaps it also affects other gods.

This is a big world, and the whole world is connected by cause and effect.

Connecting thousands of people, even gods.

Behind a seemingly ordinary appearance, there may be countless connections.

Every little breeze has the potential to turn into a huge storm.

In the Kingdom of God among the sea of ​​clouds and mist, the ghost Polik walked out of the City of Knowledge and came to the Door of Truth.

"God Asai!"

"What's matter?"

The other party had witnessed the scene of the Evel people leaving the giant island of Ruh, and he had personally guided them. At that time, the God of Truth and Knowledge was still sleeping.

God Asai looked at the storm that was beginning to weaken and asked about the ghost Polik.

"I remember that you once recorded that the last time the black storm weakened, there were signs of the arrival of the master of life in the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes."

"And this time, not only has the black storm begun to weaken, but even the Moon of God has appeared in the sky."

When the god Asai spoke, he remained motionless.

Suddenly, His voice seemed to be trembling.

His voice became much quieter.

"you say."

"Has the Lord of Life come to earth again?"

"And does the presence of the Divine Moon in the human world mean..."

When the God of Truth and Knowledge reached this point, he stopped abruptly and said no more.

Even Ghost Porick was stunned and speechless.

Usually he always gets a response, or the analytical Asai doesn't get any response.

This is no longer something that Ghost Porick can guess or deduce.

This is beyond the scope of what he can understand and know, because that is the supreme god who governs all creation.

I went on a long trip and came back at night, sorry.
