Xu Yi didn't feel much envy because after the Seven Deadly Sins had undergone the Second Stage of fusion, they had also reached the level of a Divine Artifact.
Guided by the Holy Grail, Xu Yi found a small cottage in the woods.
The cottage was not dilapidated and must have been inhabited from time to time; surrounded by dense trees and a lake nearby, it really seemed like an excellent place for a summer retreat.
Two cars were parked in front of the cabin, and judging by the leaves on the car windows, they had been there for a day or two.
Xu Yi only saw the cars, not the people.
No one would have guessed that beneath such a simple wooden cottage lay the headquarters of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization.
Jesus had already informed him of the layout here, and so he made his way directly to the basement.
The basement was full of clutter, dolls with sinister smiles, rusty old record players, and some outdated household items.
Cursory glance around, there were no exceptions, everything here was a Cursed Item. Find your next adventure on Freewebnovel
A faint smell of blood wafted over, and following the scent, he came to a corner, lifted the wooden floor there, and a pitch-black passage suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Inside the passage lay a corpse, that of a man, gutted with blood all around, his eyes wide with unwillingness and terror.
A unique stench lingered in the air around the man, and it was likely that he had been killed by a zombie or some other kind of Dark Creature.
"Such a rich Power of Destiny!"
Xu Yi looked at the body and exclaimed sincerely.
Humans were a strange creature—though weak, some possessed something that even gods coveted: the Power of Destiny. The man before him was one of them.
Those filled with the Power of Destiny were usually superb sacrificial offerings.
Continuing downward, Xu Yi made a surprising discovery at the end of the passageway: an elevator, not an old-fashioned one but a high-tech variety.
He recognized the material of the elevator box walls as "glass" from a Magic-Prohibiting Box.
Inside the elevator, too, lay a corpse; it was a youthful woman, her heart gouged out, her eyes frozen wide open in death.
Like the man before, this woman was also a "Fate Person," evidently another intended sacrifice.
Xu Yi entered the elevator, which had no floor indicators at all. He walked inside and the elevator doors automatically closed, carrying him downwards.
There was no elevator shaft to speak of, the view was unusually open. Dim white light illuminated the dark space, with countless transparent boxes standing in the void.
These were all Magic-Prohibiting Boxes, each containing different Dark Creatures, from the weaker Earth Cave People to powerful extraterrestrial beings...
A similar scene, Xu Yi had once witnessed at the Arctic Ocean Branch of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, but here there were more Dark Creatures, as numerous as stars.
The elevator suddenly entered a dark corridor, approaching the endpoint. Xu Yi quietly channeled his Sub-Divine Power within, preparing for battle.
The battle power at the Arctic Ocean Branch was so astonishing, the headquarters would likely have even higher-grade combat equipment.
The elevator doors opened. Outside the metal corridor, it was quiet—no swarms of black hounds, nor a host of Divine Wrath Weapons awaited.
This strange scene left Xu Yi puzzled for quite a while.
Had he come to the wrong place?
Or was there a more terrifying ambush awaiting him?
At that moment, urgent footsteps came from ahead, along with panicked voices.
"How could this happen? All of the base's defenses have failed, even the Ancient God's Eye can't operate!"
"Who could know? Such a situation has never arisen in a thousand years!"
Xu Yi's heart stirred, no wonder there was no ambush and even the guards were as good as absent—the base had a significant problem.
He had investigated the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization and knew that the so-called "Ancient God's Eye" was an ultra-powerful surveillance device.
"How's the sacrificial ritual going?"

"The Japan branch moved away a while ago, Buenos Aires has already failed, Madrid looks hopeless too, and other places have been interrupted due to the sea level rise and bizarre riots... this is the last hope."
"If the sacrifice fails..."
The two cut off their conversation, the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy as they kept their heads down and continued walking.
Xu Yi's triangular-headed body gradually turned into black smoke... Since the Ancient God's Eye was out of commission, he no longer feared using his Phasing ability, leading to a sudden, inexplicable restraint.
Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded, followed by a dense metallic friction. The two walking stopped in their tracks as if they realized something, their faces instantly turning pale.
The metal walls suddenly opened, revealing hidden elevator doors all around, and it wasn't just elevators that were revealed, but something far more terrifying.
"How is this possible!"
The two were incredulous—the prohibition on the Magic-Prohibiting Boxes had suddenly failed, something that had never happened before.
However, with the failure of the weapons, this seemed within the bounds of reason.
But for them, this was virtually fatal.
The spacious corridor quickly became crowded, countless Dark Creatures leaped from the elevator doors, werewolves covered in black fur, skinless beings constantly dripping with blood...
In just a moment, the place had turned into a paradise for the bizarre, a hell for humans.
The two men raised their rifles... Deprived of the organization's armaments, they could only use such "primitive" weapons, offering them no sense of security.
It's worth mentioning, the armaments of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization were exceptionally perverse; its members were Common people, but with armaments, they could rival powerful Dark Creatures.
