Chapter 621: Chapter 607: Divinity
A fanatical prayer ritual.
Chen Feng once again sank into the shadows; he had a feeling that everything to come would give him the answers he sought.
"Bring the sacrifice up!"
The Desire Demon was wearing an exceedingly revealing outfit, with nine-tenths of her skin exposed. Only a cloak and boots covered her, leaving the rest exposed to the eyes of numerous undead.
The undead did not understand aesthetics; no matter how beautiful a woman stood before them, she was not as enticing as pigs or sheep because those livestock had the blood they most craved.
Soon enough.
Two Headless Knights dragged a bug up to the altar.
This bug was immensely fat, like a giant ball of flesh, with two rows of sinister eyes squeezed on its plump face. This was a Mother Bug with Golden Tier power. As long as food was sufficient, it could produce tens of thousands of larvae in about a month, with a growth rate reaching around 60%. Once they matured, they would turn into ruthless butchers.
A deformed monster with a green body and nine insect limbs, its speed was extremely swift, even on a desert it moved with ease, showcasing its terrifying qualities.
As for the Mother Bug, its favorite food was brain matter. With a sharp oral tube in its mouth, before feeding, it would first pierce this tube into the prey’s head, then devour the brain matter and blood with force.
Yet even such a monstrously evil bug was captured by the undead. At this time, the Headless Knights dragged it onto the altar and then silently stood by.
"Ugly bug!"
The Desire Demon shouted coldly, interspersed with some disdain. In the eyes of the devils, most creatures were equated with low levels!
Nonetheless, the Mother Bug responded with a roar, seeming angry at its current plight, suddenly rising to try and break free from the Headless Knights.
"Smack!"
The Desire Demon raised her whip and struck it onto the Mother Bug. The Mother Bug had invested all its ability points into fertility, while its defense and attack were mere scraps; the tender flesh was immediately torn apart, even large quantities of fat flowed out.
This fat caused some commotion around, the zombies smelled the scent of flesh but dared not step forward, seemingly quite fearful of the altar before them, roaring in place to vent their inner desire.
Chen Feng had witnessed all this from beginning to end. Clearly, this town indeed had a hidden mastermind, and possessed necromantic powers.
The Desire Demon before him was merely a priestess; in such major sacrificial ceremonies, she also played the role of an executioner.
Necromancer?
Could it be another mage adept at Dark Magic?
These beings hoped to obtain all the power they wanted from the fear of death in humans, including: immortality, summoning undead and creatures from the Undead Realm, eroding or controlling the bodies and spirits of enemies, and gaining wealth and knowledge through the undead.
They had no mercy. Looking at everything that happened in this town, everyone met an unnatural death, ordinary people were transformed into zombies, and not a single one was spared, not even the elderly or young children.
Chen Feng was still not planning to take action because the mastermind had yet to appear. As a good hunter, he had enough patience to wait for the prey to show up.
The whip of the Desire Demon had many spikes, a dozen lashes, and the Mother Bug had no good skin left on its body, looking extremely miserable. Yet to think that would kill it, was somewhat wishful thinking, so the Desire Demon needed other forms of power.
At this time, the Desire Demon stared at the two Headless Knights standing beside her and spoke some obscure words; evidently, her position was not low, as she even had the right to control the Headless Knights.
The attack power of the Headless Knights was terrifying, they raised the longswords in their hands and slashed at the Mother Bug’s body. After several strikes, the Mother Bug’s life became extremely weak, to the point where it didn’t have the strength to roar anymore, and before long, its wicked life came to an end.
The Mother Bug’s blood flowed onto the altar.
In the next second, a supremely evil force began to grow on the altar, with the blood drying up visibly, evidently consumed by the altar’s master.
Subsequently, a cloaked figure began to manifest on the altar, holding a staff in its arms, and at the top, a light energy blade in the shape of a scythe formed—this was the last scene the survivors saw, a scythe-shaped phantom, within a second, killed five members of the Dark Department.
The figure emanated a strong smell of blood, and its whole body seemed to be transformed from blood, exuding absolute intimidation, even the blood-loving zombies, upon witnessing its arrival, dared not roar, instead standing obediently in place, as if welcoming their king.
"Naraku!"
Hidden in the shadows, Chen Feng’s pupils involuntarily shrank into a slit.
Naraku: Death God, Enemy of Goodness, Hater of Life, Dark Messenger, Gloomy King, Harvester of Flesh
Evil Emblem: Skull and Scythe
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Divine Office: Death, Darkness, Murder, Underworld
Believers: Necromancers, Assassins, Wanderers, Murderers
Cleric Faction: Chaotic Evil, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil
Domain: Death, Evil, Deception
Preferred Weapon: Giant Scythe
This was an Evil God, one who governed death; in Naraku’s cold world, everything was the same. To him, all living beings were a great insult to him, the Death God.
Therefore, its favorite thing was necromancy. It was dedicated to turning all living creatures it encountered into undead, witnessing death—one of its few hobbies!
The Evil God truly deserved its peak power status. To Chen Feng’s astonishment, it appeared in the human world, even if it was just one of its avatars!
Indeed.
It wasn’t Naraku’s true body, just an avatar summoned through sacrifice.
In fact, if it truly was Naraku, Chen Feng now only needed to consider one thing, which was how to die, because if it truly descended, even all the powers of Order combined, could be easily dismantled by it.
"Should I escape?" Chen Feng felt a moment of hesitation.
Even though it was just an avatar, it wielded extremely terrifying methods; this had nothing to do with power, but was the experience accumulated over countless years.
Yet, as Naraku’s avatar gradually became clearer, a strange energy was unexpectedly emitted from its body, this was...
Chen Feng’s pupils widened, he actually sensed several strands of divinity within its body. As an Evil God, Naraku could not originally appear from the dimension, but it used some tricky method to revive in a roundabout way, placing its incarnation in the human world. But, since it snuck over, the surrounding energy wasn’t friendly to it, tearing at its body every moment.
In such circumstances, only the power of divinity could suppress the surrounding energy, allowing the avatar to continue to exist.
Chen Feng needed divinity, because it was the energy Inferior Demons lacked the most. He knew in the past that divinity was encountered by chance and not sought, but he never expected to find it here!
At this moment, the hidden Chen Feng finally couldn’t sit still!
A lost opportunity never returns!
Chen Feng’s current strength couldn’t be considered genuinely strong because the camp always lacked a strong figure to hold it down, but if the Inferior Demon could devour Naraku’s divinity, he might break through that last boundary, then Order truly had a foundation, even if the real form of the Blazing Demon descended, it wouldn’t be without a chance of resistance!
Now, Chen Feng felt it necessary to take a gamble, after all, the gathered force of Naraku was not yet beyond the point of being vanquished!
Chen Feng was pragmatic, as long as he could obtain divinity, even if it meant offending an Evil God, it was a risk worth taking!
"Take action!"
He shouted silently, and a mass of twisted shadows appeared. Chen Feng, leveraging the power of shadows, instantly traversed plane space, stepping into existence behind Naraku using a Shadow Step.
Holding the Endless Sword in his hand, a sharp gleam of cold light instantly appeared!
Chen Feng only saw the divinity within Naraku’s body. He was prepared for a decisive strike; as he was about to pierce through its body, a metallic collision suddenly sounded.
"Clang!"
Only to see Naraku’s Giant Scythe effortlessly blocking the Endless Sword’s blade.
Chen Feng was greatly shocked, if memory served, this was the first loss in battle since obtaining the Sub-divine Artifact!
