Chapter 56: Killing (Seeking Collections)

Swish!

The human-skin mouth of Adonisi stretched wider and wider, peeling away to the surroundings, and the figure of Olivia appeared directly.

"Ah, heretic!"

A nearby Burning Son exclaimed, but before he could make a move, his expression suddenly turned cold; he thrust a hand into his own chest and pulled out a heart burning with pitch-black flames, still thumping.

Boom!

The heart exploded with a bang, the shockwave spreading in all directions, only dissipating significantly near the Altar.

Crackle!

Countless pieces of glass shattered with crisp sounds, fragments splashing in all directions!

"This Burning Son has gone mad; he's actually playing for keeps with us!"

Olivia dodged in a disheveled state, looking at the High Priest.

Clearly, this was the corruption he received when he notified the High Priest earlier.

If the Burning Son was like this, the High Priest's condition would only be more severe!

"This is the sanctuary of my Lord; the Offerings consumed by Black Flame are all Angels serving my Lord!"

The High Priest declared thus, and pitch-black flames ignited all around.

And some translucent spirits walked slowly forward amidst the flames, seemingly unable to feel the temperature of the fire at all.

If it were Lin, she might have been able to recognize many of them.

Xiu, Suolun... those Offerings were actually all here!

Furthermore, they had been transformed into controllable undead!

"To actually desecrate the souls of the dead like this!"

Olivia scolded angrily, a Zoulun appearing in her hand at some unknown moment, and she pulled the trigger fiercely.

Bang!

The High Priest's head exploded, but on his Shadow, that head still existed.

His hunched body exploded all at once, turning into countless flesh bombs, while his pitch-black Shadow writhed constantly, from which a human head leaped out, with a black dog's body below the neck.

However, at this moment, the dog's body was also covered in dense tumors, making one's scalp tingle.

'The corruption of the "Flesh Scepter" is actually this powerful... If we didn't have the protection of our Lord, I fear...'

A chill ran through Olivia's heart.

The essence of this world seems to tend toward madness.

Even a figure like the High Priest cannot be an exception!

Pfft, pfft!

The flesh bombs landed in front of her, blocked by half of a giant white cocoon.

On the other side, Lin seemed to have emerged from the previous mental shock, gripping the "Flesh Scepter" in her hand; whether it was the previous cultist explosions or the flesh bombs, they had left terrifying wounds on her body, yet they were rapidly recovering: "I want you to die!"

She brandished the "Flesh Scepter," and the surrounding Darkness suddenly became Animate, counter-eroding and suppressing the Ghosts.

Those spirits with blank expressions were swallowed by the Darkness one after another.

The Animate authority of the "Flesh Scepter" is not only effective against flesh-and-blood life.

Even the tumors on the body of the Beast of Darkness that the High Priest had transformed into exploded one by one, from which flesh tentacles spread out, trying to bind the High Priest in reverse.

Originally, the life transformed by the High Priest was composed entirely of fire and Darkness, and was not very restrained by the "Flesh Scepter."

But ever since being hit last time and corrupted, it was different.

Within the High Priest's originally dense Spirituality of "Darkness," the Spirituality of "Red" had already been mixed in.

Even here, it could not be suppressed or stripped away...

And at this moment, it was completely detonated by Lin!

The Beast of Darkness's attempt to jump into the Shadow became Slow all of a sudden.

In the void, countless threads appeared at some unknown time, entangling it.

"God-defilers, the 【Black Sun】 will not let you go."

At this final moment, the High Priest's head seemed to recover a bit of sanity and screamed loudly: "My Lord... 【Black Sun】... please cast down your gaze, I offer all of this to you!"

"Too late."

Blood erupted from Lin's entire body, her figure turning red, but her speed surged.

She appeared before the High Priest as if teleporting, the end of the Scepter in her hand becoming incomparably sharp, piercing into the High Priest's body.

"Darkness..."

The High Priest's dog body shriveled rapidly, and before his head turned into white bone, he spat out the final word.

"Let's go, quickly!"

Olivia screamed, feeling intense danger.

It did not come directly from the High Priest, but from that Altar, from the sun wheel above it!

Outside the church, in the sky.

That round of Black Sun seemed to be attracted by something, and the pitch-black corona fluctuated violently.

Above Black Sun Town, all the Black Sun Cultists trembled, feeling a glance cast directly down from the sky.

That was the incarnation of "Darkness," the true gaze of the 【Black Sun】!

Chaotic, insane, but extraordinarily powerful!

"Ah!"

First was a cultist, who turned into a torch amidst his screams.

Then the second, the third...

All believers are Firewood for the 【Black Sun】!

Roar!

Lin retreated rapidly and saw the High Priest's body burning fiercely.

Within the pitch-black flames, it was as if a giant vertical eye was staring directly at her!

"This is... the 【Black Sun】!"

With just a single gaze, Lin and Olivia were nearly melted.

At this life-or-death moment, they quickly began their Prayer: "Spirit wandering in the unknown void, Absolutely Neutral Existence, Silent Observer... please bestow your grace and save us!"

"The 【Black Sun】 has descended?"

"No, it is just a gaze, a line of sight..."

Aaron Sotos watched Lin take her revenge the entire time, then sighed, and Mysterious power surged, pouring into the two women through the connection established from the Underworld.

"This 【Black Sun】 gives me the same feeling as the 【Scarlet Moon】; neither has any sanity..."

He remarked with a scoff.

If the 【Black Sun】 truly descended, or if an avatar descended, he would still be a bit afraid.

But at this level, it was about the same as the time Lin was corrupted before; Aaron weighed the pros and cons and felt he could still intervene.

Inside the church.

Endless light appeared before Lin's eyes, and countless orbs of light formed a great gate.

Light!

Light that seemed to offer Jiusu to everything surged down from the void, extinguishing the pitch-black flames.

Crack!

On the Altar, the mark representing the 【Black Sun】 cracked and automatically turned into ash.

"Hoo... thank you, my Lord, for your protection."

Olivia took a deep breath and looked at the ashes the High Priest had burned into: "Something has been left behind..."

She walked over to look and discovered that, amidst the ashes, there was actually a pure white Shitou.

"Spiritual Crystal?"

Olivia reached out her finger to touch it, and her fingertip suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, as if she saw extinguished flames before her eyes: "So, after the fire burns out, will it leave behind ice that freezes everything?"

"Quick, find something to contain it, we must leave."

The two women ran out of the church quickly, and looking at those torches one by one and piles of ashes, they ran even faster.

In Black Sun Town, all the cultists were burning, burning...

It is unknown how much time passed, but above a field of ashes, one tiny 'Beast of Darkness' after another poked their heads out.

This is the gift of the 【Black Sun】!

If any life can survive the doom of the Firewood burning out, then they will become a true 'Beast of Darkness'!
