Chapter 19: Masks

Black chains hang in the temple. There is no doubt that the Healing Church is a bunch of lunatics. They were before and they are not much better now.

All this time, Su Xiao has only seen the world that was harmed by the ancient gods, and the strong ones. Now the Healing Church in the dark world is telling everyone a truth with practical actions. As long as madness and paranoia reach a certain level, they can face it head-on.

Ancient God.

Not only can he face the ancient god directly, but he can also capture him alive. Through the opponent's characteristics of sucking the world, he can save the dying high-walled city and make the high-walled city prosperous today.

But one thing is that this world has a strong foundation. This seems to be the top world of the eighth level, but in the past, this was a transcendent and native world that could compete with the Fallen Star.

When he obtained the [Book of Souls·Soul Mark] from the Beast Master, Su Xiao actually felt the foundation of this world. Even if it is now in decline, it is to fight against death and self-proclaimed, rather than to be attacked by foreign enemies.

Su Xiao looked at the ancient god who was bound by chains. The aura of this ancient god was different from any ancient god he had encountered before. The ancient gods he had encountered before either regarded all living beings as ants, or were indifferent to cruelty.

The aura of this ancient god now is profound, with no end in sight and darkness and depth.

Don't underestimate this ancient god. After seeing the ancient god sealed here, Su Xiao thought of one thing. Hundreds of years ago, there was no conflict or infighting between the Healing Church and the Steam God Sect.

.

During that period, the high-walled city was eroded by a small amount of the power of death, the population developed slowly, and various necessary daily necessities such as food and fresh water were in short supply. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for the Healing Church and the Steam God Cult to fight among themselves.

At that time, the Wadi family and the High Wall Council were still younger brothers, so if there was any major event that needed someone to take the lead, it would definitely be the Healing Church and the Steam God Cult.

In that most difficult period, the archbishop and the holy priest were the backbone of the people. They had lived from the age of gods to the present, but they were actually at their wits' end. They had all been to the City of Silence, but they had all failed miserably. In this most difficult period,

A young man stepped forward, his name was Turzi.

Turz's idea is to immediately block the entrance to the Silent City, and no longer maintain the ancient tradition of "the chosen ones", but to slow down the erosion of the city by sealing the entrance to the Dead City.

This idea was unanimously opposed. At that time, the "chosen ones" were the last light of hope. Before each chosen person entered the Dead City, they placed everyone's hope on them.

At that time, Turzi, an outlier, was almost executed by the fanatical supporters of the "Chosen Ones". The Archbishop saved Turzi and discovered that Turzi had different ideas and visions from them.

Twenty years later, with the support of the Archbishop, Turzi became the dean of the Stigma Academy.

In Turzi's view, after so many years of erosion, the power of death has long been a part of the world. If we want to completely solve the root cause of death, the possibility is too low. It is better to come up with a strategy, gather all the strength, and create a

A land that is not corroded by the power of death and can develop rapidly.

After reading many ancient books and risking his own life, Turzi left this world at a great cost and traveled to the outside world.

For the indigenous people in other native worlds, this would be a dream, unless there is a special notarization and contract with the Void Tree, but for this world, there is such a foundation.

With the support of the Archbishop, the Holy Priest, the Old Monster, the Snake Lady, and the Iron Apostle, Turzi traveled to many worlds. When he came back, he told everyone about his experiences in a certain world.

That world was dark and the world's power was exhausted, but in contrast, the space explosion phenomenon that was often seen there also disappeared.

This gave Turzi great inspiration, and the plan to seal an ancient god was implemented under the leadership of Turzi.

But there is one thing. If you want to use the power of the ancient god to change the current situation of this world, the ancient god himself must be very strong. It must be the kind of ancient god with the highest combat power of the eighth level. In addition, the ancient god is already good at fighting, so he must be attracted by it.

Finally, how to fight is a question.

Due to the harsh conditions in the high-walled city at that time, there was no time for everyone to hesitate. They chose a target from a book that recorded ancient gods, and then deceived the other party's divine envoy and lured the divine envoy here.

If this were the case, the ancient god would not come, but Turzi and others poured the spiritual energy of friendly gods into the envoy's body. This was a great provocation to the ancient god.

The eighth-level ancient god with the highest level of combat power, the God of Sin, Omipush, has arrived.

Before attracting the ancient god, the Archbishop, Holy Priest, Turzi and others were all worried that the ancient god was not powerful enough to achieve the expected effect of sucking the world.

Facts have proved that they were overly concerned. The God of Sin is much more powerful than expected. Even the strongest chosen one cannot be as powerful as the God of Sin.

A melee began. When the melee ended, the God of Sin was trapped by the archbishop's ability. He seemed to have won, but the price was that the Healing Church, the Steam God Cult, the High Wall Council, the Wadi Family, and the Nine

All those who became extraordinary and above died in battle.

Although the battle location was not in the High Wall City, the God of Sin sensed the existence of the High Wall City. It broke through the siege and entered the High Wall City, causing 30% of the civilians here to be absorbed by it.

Not only that, after the war, among the five founders of the High Wall City, the core of the Iron Apostle was almost shattered and fell into a long period of confusion.

The soul of the old monster was almost shattered and it was always on the verge of death. The holy priest almost turned into a beast and has not fully recovered yet.

The last archbishop seemed to be fine, but in fact only he knew that he could no longer freely use the power of the "Initial Stigmata", but the other three old friends were all in the same state, and he was the only one who managed to hold on.

As for the Snake Lady among the five, she cannot participate in the battle. She has to be responsible for more important follow-up matters.

As for Turzi, of course he also wanted to join the war and was prepared to die in battle, but before the war started, he was punched in the back of the head by the Archbishop and passed out. When he woke up, the battle was over.

Facts have proved that the Archbishop's approach was correct. Since then, the Healing Church has been basically managed by Turzi, and this is how the current Great Sage Turzi emerged.

The price paid by the high-walled city for besieging the God of Sin was heavy, but the rewards were equally great. Due to the power of the God of Sin and the continuous influence of the Snake Lady's body, the God of Sin has been sucking the world.

Previously, the academic community did not agree to open the entrance to the Dead City. It was because of this that opening the entrance to the Dead City also meant lifting the seal of the God of Sin.

Logically speaking, after absorbing the power of Death for hundreds of years, the God of Sin should have become weaker and weaker, and even died. But the problem is that the seal at the entrance to Death City has become stronger and stronger in recent years. This is not a good sign. It represents Sin.

Not only did God not die, he seemed to be stronger.

There are two reasons why the academy does not agree to open the door. 1. Due to unknown reasons, the God of Sin in the seal has become more powerful in recent years. 2. Even if the God of Sin is successfully eliminated after opening the door, what will happen next? Then trap a new one at a heavy price.

The ancient god?

This is also the reason why Sias can convince the academics. This guy just arrived in this world. As an ancient god, he immediately noticed that there are ancient gods sucking |

It looks like being sucked by an ancient god.

Although Sias couldn't find where the ancient god was, he had a guess after learning about the difference between the inside of the city and the bad land outside the city, so he took over the matter. After leaving the city, he found a secret place.

I established a donation channel with my old friends and borrowed some things from them.

This old friend, Sias, is a scholar of the "Argu School" on the fallen planet. "Argu School" sounds strange, but if you mention the "Eye Ritual", it is not so strange.

The "Argu School" are basically lunatics who take pleasure in madness. The Eye Ritual they master is an important branch of the power of the ancient gods.

Through the speculations of Sinyas and the eye scholar, they had guessed the method of the High Wall City to deal with Death Silence a few days ago. In the view of that scholar, this was too unstable. No matter how the power of Death Silence gradually weakened the ancient god

, or slowly growing the Ancient God, is not a long-term solution.

Moreover, if Hades knew about this matter, the Dark Continent would most likely be in trouble. In the past, the Dark Continent could indeed compete with the Death Star, but things are different now.

The ancient gods generally have a hostile relationship with each other, but if Hades knows the situation of the God of Sin at this moment, he will definitely send hell dogs and believers here to raze the high-walled city to the ground and eradicate the God of Sin as well.

The god was captured alive and sealed. Only death can wash away the stain on the majesty of the ancient god.

Ancient gods have always been like this, but there are exceptions, such as Ursula, the hybrid ancient god who most of the time does not dare to call himself an ancient god, for fear that other ancient gods will find it embarrassing and come to destroy it.

The content of the negotiation between Sinyas and the Great Sage Turz is that at this stage, it is an excellent time to open the entrance to the Dead City and lift the seal of the Sin God. There are many strong people involved in this incident, and they can besiege the Sin God by then.

After destroying the God of Sin, a new sealing technique is adopted, which is the "Growing Eye" in the "Eye Ritual".

This thing is an auxiliary ability developed by Argu scholars for the upper ancient gods. It can allow one upper ancient god to suck a dozen or even dozens of worlds at the same time.

In layman's terms, the "Breeding Eye" is equivalent to a living body absorption device that must be attached to the ancient gods in order to be used. However, there is one thing. If you only have the "Breeding Eye" alone, you will never be able to suck the world. Many gods, even if

Thousands of creatures, or abyss-breeding creatures, alien beings in the void, etc., no creature or existence has this ability. Sucking the world is the absolute unique ability of the ancient gods.

Being unable to suck | the world does not mean that it is impossible to alleviate the problems of this world. The ancient theological scholar discovered that not only absorbing the power of the world, it would also absorb the energy of death and absorb an ancient belief energy that exists in this world.

It can also absorb the power of death together.

This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but it is obviously much more reliable than relying on ancient gods to maintain the status quo. As long as enough eye rituals are arranged in the high-walled city to create many "breeding eyes" and maintained regularly at a high cost, it can still be solved.

problematic.

After the Great Sage Turz determined that this method was feasible, he immediately agreed to open the entrance to the City of Silence, and that was the current scene.

In front of the main entrance of the temple, many strong men from the high-walled city gathered here. According to what the great sage Turzi said, siege is the last resort to deal with the God of Sin. Hundreds of years ago, the Healing Church suffered a loss in this regard.

.

There are many powerful people from the academy coming this time. In addition to the great sage Turzi himself, five sages and more than a dozen instructors are present. This is obviously the eighth-level upper echelon in Stigm Academy, and those above.

Bring all the strong men.

On Su Xiao's side are himself, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, the silver wolf girl Marina, and finally Xiu Si. He brought Xiu Si here to leave a way out in case the situation changes.

Caesar's man disappeared without a trace. Sias and Wood were present, but the Duke did not come. Since meeting last night, the Duke has disappeared.

Madam Yan is also here. She has a different purpose than others. Madam Snake, the original founder of the High Wall Council, has her own body inside the seal, and her independent clone that she split off a long time ago has always been in the High Wall City.

It’s okay to regard Madam Snake and her clone as two individuals. Now, no one knows whether Madam Snake’s body is alive or dead. Over the years, even her own clone has lost the spiritual connection with her body, let alone other people.

.

Most of the hundreds of people at the rear are from the Steam God Cult, the High Wall Council, or the Wadi Merchant Alliance. If there is a real fight, don't expect them to be very reliable, and they may even become pig teammates.

Su Xiao took out the communicator and found that the blue indicator light on it was flashing. This meant that Gulu was rushing here and would arrive in a short time. He heard over there that he could finally enter the Dead City, so he came happily.

, I hope the other party can still be so optimistic after entering the Dead City.

Regarding the "Wolf Tomb", Su Xiao had already asked the Archbishop before setting off this morning. The Archbishop didn't know where the "Wolf Tomb" was. The Archbishop knew about the existence of Silver Moon Wolf, but the two sides were not from the same period.

When Silver Moon Wolf came to this world, this world was still in the age of gods. At that time, the Archbishop, Holy Priest and others had not yet been born. Silver Moon Wolf approached the God of Eternal Life and the two parties cooperated.

According to the Archbishop's speculation, if there really is a "Wolf Tomb" in this world, then go to Dead Silence City to look for it. This does not mean that the "Wolf Tomb" must be in Dead Silence City, but that it must be found elsewhere. The probability of finding it is too low, so it is better to give up early.

Think about this to avoid wasting time.

Su Xiao's own feeling is that Yin Yuelang came to this world in the age of gods, and it is very likely that he died in that era. It happened so long ago, and there is no perceptual means to find the "Wolf Tomb". If the "Wolf Tomb" is

"If you're not in the Dead City, you really have to give up as soon as possible, just like the archbishop said.

"If you don't want to die, step back."

The great sage Turzi spoke solemnly. After hearing this, the goddess and others all retreated towards the steam train in the distance, while Hugh Si hesitated in place, not knowing whether to go or stay.

"Silly boy, walk quickly and run forward."

Baha patted Hugh Si on the back with his wings. Hugh Si looked at Su Xiao and found that Su Xiao was staring at the chain ball in the temple. He trotted towards the steam train.

Su Xiao winked at Marina, the silver wolf girl on the side, and asked her to withdraw. Ms. Marina has never fought with an ancient god. Even if she is determined, can she resist the consciousness invasion of the eighth-level ancient god?

, really not necessarily.

Ms. Marina herself has the problem of losing control/going crazy. Now facing the ancient god, there is a 90% chance that she will not be able to handle it.

"Boss, do you want to start preparing to hunt the Ancient God? I feel..."

Baha was about to speak but stopped.

"Woof."

Bubo Wang also barked, which meant that he and Baha had the same opinion.

Su Xiao looked at the iron chain ball hanging in mid-air in the center of the temple. Of course he felt something was wrong. Based on his experience in hunting gods, the aura of the ancient god... was too empty, but in this hole, there was something

There is no end to the darkness and depth.

The Great Sage Turzi walked into the temple, took off the pendant around his neck, and then recited a strange-sounding incantation.

The silver pendant floated up and was attached to the shackles directly in front of the chain ball with a clanking sound. The shackles exploded and bounced away.

Wow~

The chains rubbed, and the chains hanging above dropped down, and the chain ball in the center became smaller and smaller.

"It's coming."

The black smoke skirt on Mrs. Yan's body surged, and her body almost turned into translucent fluorescent white, which gave her a strange sense of beauty.

Under everyone's gaze, the chain ball suddenly opened, and a black shadow fell down.

With a snap, it was like a rotten wooden pile falling to the ground, and a large coiled snake fell. Its whole body was rotten, and it could be vaguely seen that she had long eyelashes. The snake's head was as tall as a human face. It belonged to Mrs. Snake.

In her true form, it was obvious that she had died many years ago.

Seeing this scene, the face of the great sage Turzi changed slightly, but he quickly accepted the fact that the God of Sin had broken free of the seal at some point. The ancient god was not easy to seal, let alone hundreds of people.

Year.

"The door was opened successfully? Where is the Ancient God?"

Baha looked around and found no trace of the ancient gods in the hall with chains hanging everywhere. However, there was an ancient god who was watching outside the door.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock~

Black liquid dripped from above. Everyone looked towards the ceiling. At some point, a large area in the center of the ceiling turned into black liquid, with layers of ripples appearing.

Wisps of black liquid dripped down, followed by a human skeleton that had been soaked until it turned yellow. After landing, the skeleton shattered into pieces.

"Tulz, step back slowly."

Su Xiao spoke. At this time, only he and the Great Sage Turzi were in the hall, with the gate behind them.

The great sage Turzi on the side slowly backed away and whispered: "I can close the door at any time. This temple is very strong and is built of pure stone."

The Great Sage Turz obviously thought of what Su Xiao was going to do. Although the two were hostile to each other before, they still have a tacit understanding now.

In the temple, a figure fell from the black liquid above. It was human-shaped, about 3.5 meters tall, and landed barefoot in a semi-crouching position.

As the figure stood up, everyone could see its appearance clearly. Its upper body was covered with fine, smooth black scales. Judging from the shape, its body shape clearly had female characteristics. On its face, it was a long and slender white scale.

The bone mask doesn't look like it's worn, but more like an exoskeleton.

The long, flowing hair like black mist hangs down behind her. Each strand of hair seems to have an independent life, flowing slowly, blocking the entire back. The lower body is blocked by hanging tentacles, like a mop with a weird style.

Like a long skirt.

This is the God of Sin. To be precise, it is no longer completely an ancient god, but half an ancient god and half an abyss.

A war scythe more than two meters long fell from the liquid above and was held by the God of Sin. This war scythe was about 2.6 meters long and was composed of dark metal + bones + dark flesh + solid soul.

An invisible aura spread to the surrounding area with the God of Sin as the center. Almost at the same time, all creatures within a hundred kilometers radius ran away desperately as if they had sensed something.

Boom!

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and a vortex of black clouds gathered together, and inside was a creepy crimson color.

In the temple, a black semi-fluid surfaced at the feet of the God of Sin, surging to hold it up. Its eyes that chilled the soul looked calmly at Su Xiao and Turz outside the hall door. The next moment, it

The dark matter beneath its feet was about to drag it out of the hall.

Zhi~

The translucent metal wire tightened and broke instantly. It seemed that it did not block the God of Sin for half a second, but in fact it was a triggering device.

bite!

The crisp sound of the metal bolt being pulled away came from the ground around the God of Sin. Just as the God of Sin was about to control the dark matter under its feet to flow to the surrounding area, it stopped again. Its eyes narrowed as if there were flames of sin burning inside.

From now on, I already feel that I have met a spirit hunter this time.

Under the control of the God of Sin, mist spread around the area, and energy threads that were so thin that they were invisible to the naked eye were distributed around the area, with none of the ends entering the alien space.

These traps are laid out very cleverly. They first use a silk thread composed of soul energy + body energy as an activating device, and then hide the lethal weapons in a different space. Once these weapons are activated, the different space will open, thus achieving

Killing effect.

The dense spiritual shadow lines around it are connected to the mechanisms developed specifically for the ancient gods. Well, some of them are also for the ancient gods. This is not for Sinyas, but for the ancient gods.

If Si Yasi knew this kind of rhetoric, he would definitely have something to say. According to what he knew, Su Xiao didn't know any other ancient gods except him and his wife Ona.

After the God of Sin looked around, a deformed monster with wings the size of a ball formed in front of it. The deformed monster ignited the flames of sin, roared loudly, and rushed towards nothing.

Bang!

The golden-red thunder and lightning spread, and the God of Sin immediately used dark matter to drag himself up. Even he did not want to touch the golden-red thunder and lightning. This thing was completely synthesized to deal with the ancient gods.

After getting rid of the most threatening trap, the God of Sin looked at Su Xiao outside the hall door. He was sure that this was the spirit hunter. The ring on the opponent's hand could even devour the source of the ancient god's power.

To grow, judging from the fluctuation intensity of the ring, the ring has swallowed up the source of power of many ancient gods.

After the God of Sin appeared, many people outside the palace were frightened. Some of them even widened their eyes to the extreme, pinched their own throats, and their reason quickly evaporated, and they were about to become the lower slaves of the God of Sin.

This makes people wonder how the Healing Church responded to this situation and besieged the ancient gods hundreds of years ago.

"ah!!"

An academic instructor let out a heartbreaking howl. The flesh and blood on his chest burst open, and dark red tentacles sprouted from his internal organs. They twisted wantonly. Facing the ancient god, as long as his heart was not firm enough, he would end up...

This is how it ends.

The ice spread, and Eminem's big ax struck, splitting the mentor who was frozen into an ice sculpture. He had been alienated to this extent and was hopeless. If he was not dealt with quickly, he would become a low-level slave controlled by the God of Sin at will.

Seeing this scene, the great sage Turz was silent. This time they did not have the protection of the gods, and could only face the ancient gods with their own flesh and blood.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and those extraordinary beings who were full of confidence and wanted to surround and kill the ancient gods began to alienate every one of them.

In terms of strength, 99% of them are stronger than Bu Bu Wang, but this is of no use.

In Su Xiao's team, Eminem, needless to say, killed many ancient gods with Su Xiao. Apart from the fear of missing meals, this idiot has no fear of any type of enemy yet.

In the case of Baha, not to mention, its bloodline of space was the reward Su Xiao received after killing the ruler Sotos.

As for Bubu, although it is not naturally very courageous and sometimes is a little timid, it has been hunting the ancient gods with Su Xiao until now. Its fear of the ancient gods is due to the physical level, not the mental level. It

It's the fear that the ancient god will hit it and it will hurt, rather than fear or trembling on a spiritual level. When facing the ancient god directly, the spirit and soul will not be afraid, and will naturally not alienate.

With a bang, the metal main door of the temple was closed. There was mixed news at the moment. The seal to seal the God of Sin had failed. The good news was that the temple that existed in the age of gods was particularly strong and could temporarily trap the God of Sin.

It has only been a few seconds since the God of Sin appeared, but Su Xiao is more concerned about another point. The black liquid on the ceiling in the temple just now has too strong abyssal properties. In other words, this battle can no longer be simply a way to deal with the ancient god.

to cope with it.

For some unknown reason, this ancient god adapted to the energy of the abyss, and absorbed a large amount of the power of the abyss from nowhere, becoming even more powerful.

At this time, in the open space behind, large pieces of broken ice were scattered on the ground. Amu, with the cold air floating around his body, smashed the last 'ice sculpture' on the way to alienation.

Spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared behind Su Xiao, which made him almost punch him with a backhand. The person who suddenly appeared behind him had actually been beaten by him with his bare hands, and he quickly said: "It's me!"

It was Gulu who had arrived. She looked at the metal door in front of her and asked, "Is the gatekeeper boss of Dead City inside here? According to common sense, it shouldn't be particularly strong?"

After Gulu finished speaking, she even frowned. She felt that the aura in this temple was ridiculously strong.

Su Xiao suppressed the warning of the enemy and had a plan in mind to deal with the God of Sin. When the God of Sin first appeared, Su Xiao was ready to throw the remaining "Sun Bucket" directly over.

However, considering that the God of Sin was not bound at the time, the probability of being blown up by the "Sun Barrel" was not high. In addition, this place was the entrance to the Dead City, so it would be terrible if there was an unknown risk caused by the explosion.

However, after sensing the abyss energy in the place where the God of Sin appeared when it appeared, Su Xiao's ideas for dealing with the God of Sin gradually became clearer.

The metal door in front began to break down, which meant that the temple could not trap the God of Sin for a long time. Seeing this, Su Xiao lowered his head and looked at Gulu beside him, and asked: "Your leader often wears a mask, do you like wearing a mask too?"

.”

"Ah? What? It's okay. I wear it sometimes. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't say anything, and directly put the "Ancient Mask" on Gulu's face. Wood and Sias, who had been hiding ten meters away, simultaneously showed the smiles of those who had come before.
