Chapter 3033: Birth

~11 min read 2,048 words

Old King City, Talos.

The cold street was empty. Every household had their doors closed tightly. Even wild dogs that were starving to skin and bones didn't dare to run onto the street. It was late at night, and there were 'monsters' haunting here.

In fact, this was just a rumor. Since a few years ago, the number of missing people in the Old King City had been several times higher than the number of people who died of hunger + disease + corruption, especially at night, when this phenomenon was more rampant.

The reason for this was because the Soul Bell Tower had withdrawn from the Old King City on the surface, but in reality, they had used this place as their base to develop. They didn't need this place to be prosperous, nor did they need order. As long as there were civilians continuing to live here, they wouldn't stop.

Rather than ruling, this was more like 'hunting'. As a low-corrupted area, as long as the corruption here didn't intensify, there would be civilians living here.

It wasn't that they didn't want to escape, but they had no choice. At least in the Old King City · Talos, they could barely survive. Running to the wilderness, they were very likely to encounter those corrupted monsters that were foul-smelling and rotten all over.

Double Moon Street, inside Duwa Clinic.

The name Duwa · Fuen was widely spread in the Old King City. As a doctor, he was already notorious.

Fuen's medical skills were very 'superb'. He was most famous for two major therapies: bloodletting therapy and amputation therapy. Bloodletting for internal diseases, amputation for external diseases.

Any patient who wasn't just left with one breath wouldn't be sent to Duwa Clinic to be treated by Fuen. Even so, Fuen still had many patients. His superb surgical techniques were favored by the Soul Bell Tower, and the two sides became long-term partners.

In the cramped clinic filled with the smell of blood and formalin, Fuen took off his surgical gown stained with blood. He rolled a cigarette, ignored the patient on the operating table who was gasping for breath, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and coughed desperately.

During this violent coughing, the patient on the operating table actually sat up, showing no signs of the weakness just now, and the dull gaze became sharp.

"You cut... a piece of my brain?"

The firm-looking man spoke. He had forgotten many things, such as who he was, where he was born, whether he still had relatives, etc. The only thing he remembered was that he had killed quite a few people with holes in their heads. Those people could create invisible explosions. Even so, he had killed many, and was finally defeated by an old man wearing a cleric's robe and a pale bone ring. After that, he didn't remember anything.

"I did cut a piece, and also helped you open a hole in your head. Do you feel any swelling pain?"

Fuen exhaled smoke. He didn't really count as a member of the Soul Bell Tower. The Soul Bell Tower sent people over and left crystal fat, and he completed the surgery. It was that simple.

"No pain, wonderful."

The firm man touched his forehead and indeed felt a hole the size of a finger, just enough to pierce his index finger into it.

"It seems very successful. Then do you feel relaxed?"

"This..." The firm man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in response: "There is a sense of relaxation."

His feeling now was very wonderful, as if he had always been bound in a shell. At this moment, after a hole was opened in his head, something called a soul was free and could extend outward from this hole to complete unimaginable things.

"Congratulations, you have become a member of the Soul Bell Tower. On this corrupted continent, there is no place you can't go, except 'Dank City'. That is the territory of the Kodo School. It is said that the God Hunter has also gone there."

Fuen smiled, smiling a bit neurotically.

"Kodo School? God Hunter? What are those?"

The firm man was very confused about many things. He now wanted to know more about who he really was.

"The Kodo School is a faction, a group of religious lunatics who study the power of Ancient Gods. You'd better stay away from them. As for the God Hunter, that should be the enemy of the Ancient Gods. In short, it has nothing to do with us small people. Cherish the last time."

Fuen touched the stubble on his chin. Originally, he was a very self-disciplined person and wouldn't be so sloppy, but after learning about a certain thing, he didn't care about anything. He had witnessed an Ancient God descend an infant through a woman. Fortunately, the infant turned into a monster as soon as it was born, roaring and destroying in the Old King City.

What made Fuen feel ridiculous was that the Soul Bell Tower, which helped the Ancient God complete all this, actually claimed to the outside world that this was a failure in manufacturing a new container, which led to the container going mad.

The final result was that the newborn monster caused the population of the Old King City to decrease by one-tenth. It seemed that the residents of the Old King City joined forces to clear the Soul Bell Tower out of the Old King City, but in reality, it was not so. The Soul Bell Tower just didn't appear on the surface; they were still entrenched in the Old King City in secret.

The Soul Bell Tower, which originally obeyed the Light King, had already become the running dog of the Ancient God. Thinking of these, Fuen smiled even more neurotically.

This hellish world, the Kodo School, which was originally mistakenly thought to be the running dog of the Ancient God, was actually fighting against the Ancient God in secret, while the Soul Bell Tower, which was considered a savior, had become the running dog of the Ancient God.

Fuen touched the beard on his face again, finally sighed, got up and went to the toilet, picked up the razor he made himself, and shaved his beard in the mirror covered with stains.

Fuen had always hidden a secret. In the 'Ancient God Child Birth Incident', he secretly kept a small piece of umbilical cord. Although he knew this was seeking death, he still couldn't help but study it.

Until one night in a dream, he saw a blurry black shadow. That was an Ancient God. He just glanced at the black shadow, and felt his spirit start to become chaotic, as if he would go crazy in the next moment.

That night, Fuen woke up from the dream. He controlled his shivering body, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank all the boiling tea in one gulp. Only then did he barely feel that this world still had temperature, and that almost crazy emotion barely stabilized a bit.

Thinking of this, Fuen suddenly saw a very thin black tentacle growing on his face in the mirror. This tentacle was still twisting.

Fuen calmly scraped off this tentacle with a razor, touched his face in the mirror, and smiled satisfactorily.

Fuen actually really wanted to know what kind of monster would dare to hunt Ancient Gods. That kind of existence, just by looking at the phantom of the other party in a dream, made his spirit almost crazy and collapse. Could such an existence really be fought? Or even killed?

Dank City, inside a hotel on Gem Street.

Su Xiao checked the mission time limit of the third ring of the main mission. There was less than 3 days left. In other words, within 3 days, he must slash the soul chain of Goddess Shataye.

Su Xiao didn't intend to complete this mission immediately. From the previous world introduction, this mission was very simple: just break the seal and kill the Ancient God.

After learning more, Su Xiao found that things were not that simple. Numerous intelligence indicated that the combat power of that Ancient God was enough to crush the Light King + Spider Queen + Mother God. As for the Great Sage, it was never clear which side he stood on.

From the beginning, the Light King and others didn't have the ability to seal the Ancient God, even with a container. It was the Ancient God who was deliberately sealed, which looked very much like avoiding something.

There were not many things worth avoiding by the Ancient God. It was highly likely to be other Ancient Gods. Ancient Gods were not friendly to each other.

Although this Ancient God was in the seal, it was not unable to affect the outside world. The spreading corruption was actually more like forcing the intelligent creatures in this world to crawl under the throne of the Ancient God.

This was very effective. There were already factions that had joined the Ancient God camp, such as the Great Sage's faction and the Soul Bell Tower.

People who joined the Ancient God faction had a biggest characteristic: they all wore pale bone rings. This thing had the characteristics of a container. After wearing this bone ring, they could communicate with the Ancient God in the container and obtain high-dimensional and dangerous supernatural knowledge at the risk of madness.

Su Xiao tried to wear the pale bone ring. Just for an instant, he threw away the pale bone ring, because in that instant, he sensed the Ancient God in the seal.

This was the intelligence conveyed to Su Xiao by the Merolos couple at the risk of their lives, paying back the favor they had signed before. Presumably, the situation of that couple was not good now.

In summary, although the Ancient God was in the seal, it could still affect the power structure in this world through each pale bone ring.

The current power distribution was clear, totaling the following factions.

Ancient God Faction (Enemy): Including the Soul Bell Tower, the Great Sage's faction, and numerous Ancient God believers hidden in the dark. Their characteristic was wearing pale bone rings.

Insect Kingdom (Neutral/Friendly): Their resistance to Ancient God energy was too weak, so they could only soy sauce on the side, plus develop technology. At the moment, they didn't believe in any gods anymore, switched to believing in the technology daddy, and prepared to manufacture firearms to blast the Ancient God. What made people sad was that the weapon technology here was still stuck in gunpowder technology, and the 'retro version guns' manufactured often turned into palm grenades. What was funny was that the insects themselves didn't dare to use them and prepared to sell them to the beast race.

Beast Camp (Neutral/Chaotic): Always in a daze.

Mother God Faction (Neutral): Hiding, even more cautious than the Great Sage. If you are not careful, you might forget about this side.

Kodo School (Intermittent Friendly Forces): The surface position was very confusing, but in reality, they had been fighting the Ancient God for hundreds of years, acting unscrupulously. In order to deal with the Ancient God in this world, they didn't hesitate to bring in other Ancient Gods. For a long time, Su Xiao was hesitant about whether to destroy this side first. If these gods summoned another powerful Ancient God, it would be bad.

White Town (Own Side): This morning was the strongest faction in this world. At the moment, the strong individuals gathered here basically broke up. This side was represented by Su Xiao, preparing to arrange the Ancient God.

There was not much time. Before the final war with the Ancient God, Su Xiao had to complete one thing first: get three gemstones suitable for Dragon Flash.

At the moment, he had obtained one Immortal-grade gemstone 【Space-Splitting】. For the remaining two, Su Xiao had ways to obtain them. The gemstone seller who would arrive in a while would bring an Immortal-grade gemstone.

The last one had to be obtained through the Ouroboros Slate. Su Xiao hadn't settled the account with this slate for snatching things from Bennie in the last world. ===== CHAPTER 3034 =====
