Chapter 176

A moment later.

The flesh and blood mixed with flames turned into a lifelike broken claw. It was just that the broken claw was somewhat nondescript; the overall color was white, losing the previous bright red. Eyes and a mouth grew on the palm, the eyes rolling around, and the mouth wriggling, revealing the sharp, white teeth inside, looking eerie and terrifying.

"Great Abam! Your believer offers you a gift!"

Under Caleb's grand kowtow, he directly cut his own wrist, and bright red blood flowed out, all flowing along winding paths on the ground and being sucked into the broken claw.

Sucking the blood, the color of the broken claw recovered slightly, and the mouth wriggled.

"Caleb!"

"My loyal believer, take me away from here, I need better recovery."

"When I follow the Demon King and make a great contribution, becoming a great demon, you will surely enjoy endless wealth!"

Caleb kept his head low, only responding with a fanatical voice, "Yes! Great Abam! The believer will take you away right now."

On his lowered face, a mocking smile was faintly visible.

Demon?

Wealth?

What I want is eternal health and longevity! No! And powerful strength!

Just like the person who beat you into this state!

But you, it seems, can't give it...

But it doesn't matter, as long as I become a demon, as long as I... become you!

Caleb covered up the expression on his face, reached out to pick up the broken claw, put it into his bosom, and climbed upward.

He had known what a demon was from the beginning, but God didn't respond, and didn't even save his mother, that poor woman with cancer, which made him feel disappointed in God.

Since God is dead, why not try a demon.

He didn't want to die painfully in front of faith like his mother, so a demon that responded to every request was a very good choice.

And now, since the demon had fallen from the altar, he would go and take it himself.

He wanted to gamble, gamble that this demon was weak to the extreme, so he was going to the church to change hands!

When he climbed out and headed straight for the town church.

Behind him, Louis and Jiali were floating in the corner, following closely.

"Louis, not killing him?"

"No, I want to see what this Caleb wants to do, and this Abam, what other trump cards it hasn't revealed. After all, a demon true-body descending into the world is not an easy thing."

"Abam's descent was too simple, there might be a problem inside."

Louis explained to Jiali.

These were indeed his doubts. As far as he knew, because of God, it was not an easy thing for any demon to descend into the world with its true body. Most of the time, they only used arrays and sacrifices to pass a part of their power or an avatar over.

And this process was also very easy to interrupt. The reason why those priests' exorcisms were so simple was partly because of this.

Over the years, according to the Joker Demon, it hadn't seen a single one that had successfully descended into the world with its true body.

That's right, the knowledge about demon descent was all obtained by Louis from the Joker Demon. There was no other way; he kept burning it with poisonous fire, and the Joker Demon was really too weak. It only had this one avatar and didn't want to lose it.

Naturally, it could only say some things in exchange for Louis's "tolerance."

From this, it could be inferred that there was a hidden story inside the Abam descent event in front of him.

Plus Louis had the intention of fishing, so he didn't let Jiali search extensively, but left directly after pretending to check once.

"Go, follow and take a look."

The two used Hidden Arts and followed all the way.

Abam was indeed weak enough; it could no longer achieve the level of discovering Louis at a glance before.

On the road, Louis saw many townspeople running around in panic, packing their belongings, driving cars wanting to leave the town. There was also a team of adults led by the local sheriff heading toward the direction of the forest.

Obviously, everyone wasn't blind; such a big commotion had long since attracted everyone's attention.

Louis didn't care about these. He had already called Michael earlier. This place wasn't far from Calabasas, and with their mobility, they should arrive soon.

Following Caleb, the further he walked, the more surprised Louis's expression became.

Because this guy actually came to the church!

At this time, the broken claw also seemed to realize something was wrong and wanted to say something, but Caleb pushed open the door without hesitation.

Looking at the upright cross, Caleb knelt down.

"Caleb! You"

Caleb didn't speak. Seeing the broken claw smoking, he knew his plan was correct. After revealing a smile, he took out a dagger and started cutting his left wrist, and even found a saw in the church.

God knows why this thing was in the church; maybe he could ask Father Manli.

Creak... creak... creak...

"Ah ah ah!!"

Every cut was real pain deep into the bone marrow for him, but Caleb wasn't afraid; he was only afraid that his wish couldn't be realized.

"Caleb! Caleb!"

"What do you want? I can satisfy you!"

"God is just a liar, you know the integrity of a demon..." Abam's voice grew louder and more sincere, but Louis, who had walked into the church and sat on a stool, only felt it was funny listening to it.

The integrity of a demon.

This cold joke was truly not very good.

However, this Caleb was a ruthless person. Are the brain circuits of heretics all so strange?

Louis already knew what he wanted to do.

Grafting a demon's claw.

Too bold!

Louis didn't stop him. Such an experiment carried out spontaneously by an experimental subject was too rare. Why stop it?

Moreover, he also really wanted to know if grafting a demon's limb onto a human was feasible? What were the side effects? How much power could be retained?

This topic was too interesting.

Puchi!

Surging blood flowed out from his wrist. Seeing this scene, Caleb panicked a bit, hurriedly picked up the broken claw, and just as he was about to graft it on, he remembered something and poured the holy water Father Manli had prepared earlier onto it.

Although he didn't know if the holy water prayed for by Father Manli, the guy who betrayed God, was useful, Caleb was obviously treating a dead horse as a living one now.

The next moment, he grafted the broken claw and his wrist together. As expected, the scorched broken claw began to react with his flesh and blood.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

The skin and flesh of his entire arm were rolling!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The miserable scream resounded through the entire church.

Under God's gaze, the demon's claw gradually became one with the human.

Whoosh!

Caleb roared at the sky, his left eye covered in pitch black, eerie and evil. The skin of his body began to turn pale red, and his muscles began to swell one by one. Even below, a second organ began to grow.

Every time he breathed, he could feel magic power flowing from the claw to his whole body, and the dryness of the flames covered his whole body.

"Power, this is power. I feel, I feel great now!"

Caleb sighed, suddenly looking at the high platform. The statue of God was too annoying at this moment, making his body feel as uncomfortable as if it were being pricked by needles.

Whoosh!!

A fireball was spat out, exploding upon impact, destroying the head of the statue of God.

Accompanied by the incompleteness of the statue, that needle-pricking feeling finally began to recede. A smile appeared on Caleb's face, "Next... eh? Abam, you guy, actually like this?"

A look of doubt and surprise appeared on his face.

"But, I don't need you anymore. Your task will be handed over to me!"

"I will replace you and become a great demon! Hahahaha!"

Laughing wildly, Caleb walked toward the door.

But as he walked, he stopped.

At the door, Louis and Jiali were looking at him expressionlessly.

!!!

Caleb's whole body was stiff.

Every brain cell was warning him: Leave! Run for your life!

Caleb, who had just finished watching that war, knew very well that facing these two, he had no power to resist at all.

Why?

Didn't you guys leave?

I just acquired power, and you guys appeared?

Gulp—

"Let me go, okay?"

He squeezed out a smile. At this moment, the demon's irritability faded from his mind, and human pragmatism regained the high ground.

"Of course, you just need to be obedient."

Louis said with a smile.

Caleb nodded repeatedly.

A moment later.

In the church, Caleb was talking about the information and knowledge he had obtained from Abam's soul, and Louis was making judgments.

First.

This guy Caleb had indeed succeeded, but not completely. Abam wasn't dead; its soul was hidden in Caleb's body, and now it was highly likely peeping.

Secondly, there was indeed a problem with this guy's descent, involving a familiar figure—Mamen.

That's right, it was the guy who made Louis confirm that there was a hell, demons, and high-end combat power in this world, and it was also the guy who first gave Louis a sense of life-and-death crisis.

Although, people might not have known who he was at that time.

This matter was because Abam was a demon under Mamen. Mamen managed the most luxurious palace in hell, and as one of the Demon Kings, it also controlled the demon army, while Abam was one of the serving demons in its palace, and also held the position of deputy legion commander of a legion.

Over the years, Mamen had always wanted to enter the human world, and for this, it had scattered many powers and projections in the human world, but unfortunately, the number of successes was few.

Therefore, it thought of a new method.

Let the rich lead the poor.

Let the first descent lead the later descent.

As long as the demons under its command descended with their true bodies first, and then let them assist its messengers in the human world, they could complete the summoning ritual better and more safely.

Not only that, but they could also act as an advance party, build a demon army, and prepare for its arrival.

Just waiting for it to arrive, it could directly form an vanguard legion and start conquering the world.

And Abam was barely considered a confidant, plus its talent for bewitching girls, so it was listed on the first descent list.

It spent several years, and in order not to be discovered by the church, it only built a small heretical sect in the town, and even manifestations were cautious, until it luckily found Nuel, this special girl.

Cooperating with the souls of the girls sacrificed in these years, the enhanced version of the array sent by some mysterious person, and Mamen's Demon King magic power.

Only then did it open the channel.

Descending into the world.
