Chapter 198: Brainstorm (2400+ words)

Rumble!

Just as Liliyat closed her eyes to await death, the massive pyramid suddenly let out a roar.

Its enormous tower body was constantly cracking, and streams of blood surged out from within!

It was as if... this pyramid were also a living thing, possessing a life of its own.

And at this moment, it was falling apart, letting out a mournful cry...

Whoosh!

Endless blood gathered into a red ocean, submerging the lowest level of the cavern; not only that, but the sea level was still rising, seemingly about to swallow the pyramid!

"What is happening? Why is there another anomaly in the tomb of Sotos?"

Fiona stood unsteadily, her body swaying along with the crumbling pyramid, her expression full of confusion and terror.

Accompanied by the surging Blood Sea, she could feel the incomparably powerful Spirituality of the 'Red' surging, howling, and boiling...

At the position of his chest, countless flesh and blood tangled together, forming the shape of a human head.

The Blood Cup Archbishop stepped forward, seemingly ignoring the distance of space, arriving directly before the Evil Spirit with a smile on his face, his body suddenly exploding to envelop the Evil Spirit within.

"It's the Evil Spirit of Aokelaier!"

Fiona looked over and saw that the Moon Witch's originally smoky-makeup face had become incomparably pale and hideous, every strand of hair becoming incredibly thick, like wriggling leeches.

"Hm? Bishop... no... don't!"

Fiona flashed through the scenes of them coming to explore the tomb, shocked: "The excavation by the Lotus Eater Society triggered some mechanism in the tomb of Aokelaier, causing the Evil Spirit to open the tomb of the Green Forest Earl... That huge Green Banyan Tree was the sign, and also the bait... That Green Forest Earl had already arranged everything a thousand years ago; his tomb is a trap. He wanted to attract a large number of Offerings to push forward the Three-Phase Secret Rite and complete his resurrection?!"

The aged head extended forward, revealing a neck, a chest, and limbs... it was as if another human form had been forcibly grown from the body of Chikatiro!

Accompanied by the other's growth and separation... the body of Chikatiro became increasingly hunched, until finally, only a human skin remained.

"No wonder Lord Xisituosi had been keeping himself invisible; was it because he vaguely sensed this great enemy?"

"It's over... the Evil Spirit really is targeting me!"

That kind of terrifying Spirituality was enough to drown every Extraordinary present!

"Ah!"

Just at this moment, the surrounding air suddenly became as viscous as blood.

Yagebu looked at this scene and roared in his heart: "This is the Ritual of Flesh Parasitism... He had long hidden his true body inside Chikatiro? No... the 'Blood Cup' is the leader of the Lotus Eater Society; perhaps he has long since become a 'Crown', extremely difficult to kill. This might just be one of his flesh-and-blood clones, formed by consuming and devouring Chikatiro!"

Yagebu's expression was cold and stern, his slightly trembling right hand gripping his hideous firearm: "The period when it disappeared earlier, perhaps it was to go to the fourth level to open the tomb of Aaron Sotos and release the forbidden power... corrupting this entire area!"

His malicious gaze looked toward the remaining survivors and finally landed on Liliyat.

Kasuluo let out an exclamation: "How could it come to the fourth level?"

"This Evil Spirit is very unusual; it is suspected of being able to break the rules..."

And on her body, in a trance, one could actually see another figure.

Abruptly, a scream came.

This is a clone of a Crown!

At this moment, the Evil Spirit of Aokelaier had already used Evil Spirit Possession to kill the last powerhouse of the Witch Sisterhood in the tomb.

All of this was connected by the Night Witch, making her feel as if she saw the prototype of a huge conspiracy, her body trembling.

"The Blood Cup Archbishop of the Lotus Eater Society!"

This human skin was not wasted either, but turned into a blood-colored robe that fell onto the old man.

Liliyat discovered that her situation had not changed in the slightest; she was still on the road to waiting for death!

Compared to those rats in the gutter, the conspiracy of this Green Forest Earl was truly too terrifying!

That undead from a thousand years ago actually still wanted to resurrect using forbidden power!

Not only that, this kind of spirit to directly design everything for all Extraordinaries was something organizations like the Lotus Eater Society simply could not compare to!

"No... I must believe in the Invisible Cult; those high-level members might have arrived long ago and discovered the ancestor's resurrection plan... They... might be able to reach an agreement? And whether it is ancestor Aaron or the high-level members of the Invisible Cult, they shouldn't harm me... right?"

Much flesh and blood constantly rotted and fell from her beautiful face and body...

The Moon Witch let out a final plea and scream; on her body, huge cracks appeared, from which a phantom black Moon seemed about to emerge.

Even without carrying much essential power, it was enough to rival any Extraordinary who had opened the Fifth Primordial Substance!

The Blood Cup Archbishop, wearing a scarlet robe, ignored everything around him, his gaze fixed on the Evil Spirit of Aokelaier, his eyes filled with intense longing.

The Ghoul Chikatiro, as if it had seen something incomparably terrifying, let out a scream, but it was of no use.

In the end, this Moon Witch turned into a pool of foul-smelling black blood; in the pool of blood, only a crescent-shaped pendant was still flickering with light.

But in the end, the blood-red cloak fell, covering the moonlight, covering the body of the Moon Witch, covering everything of hers...

Surging and pure Spiritual Ether instantly erupted, turning into a storm, gathering above this person's head to form a crown of Glory, bringing a terrifying might far exceeding the Fourth Primordial Substance.

This cloak was as if stained by filthy blood; it was constantly bulging, wrapping this high-level member of the Witch Sisterhood and Non-human Existence within!

"No!"

The scarlet, viscous atmosphere in the air seemed to become even thicker, allowing everyone to smell the fishy, rusty scent of blood at the tip of their noses.

The dangers of the first and second levels before had never had a precedent of spreading downward!

He had a pale expression and wore complex, gorgeous classical aristocratic attire, with a scarlet cloak on his back!

From the Evil Spirit, he felt the extremely pure and rich essence of the 'Lord of Hidden Corpses'!

Even his cheering and leaping spiritual Instinct told him that if he could completely devour the other party, he might be able to break through to the Seventh Primordial Substance—【Immortality】! Obtain a trace of Immortality and become a true 'Immortal'!

The Blood Sea roared and churned violently, and on the pyramid platform, a mass of huge flesh and blood was wriggling violently.

The 'Philosopher' Xisituosi watched this scene, appeared directly, and raised his hand to release a storm!

It was not a storm in reality, but one originating from the mind and brain, making it seem as if countless questions and countless inspirations appeared in the minds of everyone present, all of which were thoughts and inspirations unrelated to the time and place!

The Extraordinary Ability of the 'Philosopher'—Brainstorm!

For a moment, even the Evil Spirit within that mass of squirming flesh seemed to stall, forgetting how it should act!
