Chapter 8: Gods Favor (1/2)

"The Great Lord of Ashes..."

Aina stared at the Lord of Ashes blankly and did not move her gaze away. After undergoing the transformation of Divine Surgery, she could now withstand the mental shock.

Shen Yi found many cultists had fainted, and inevitably, he felt a little strange.

'Would those cultists faint if I just blame them a little?'

He felt that something was wrong. But after thinking about it for a long time, he could not find the reason. He knew that punishing the cultists of the sect was not the end.

What he had to do at the end was to help that innocent little girl.Once again, he emulated the harsh tone of voice. "She must live on, carry on what I have promised her, and you must not offend her anymore."

With that, he raised his hand gently, and the white flame in his palm turned into a monstrous dragon, almost half the size of a villa. He knew very well that it had no lethality. This was just a warning and a threat, but what the priest saw was completely different.Before the priest could respond to this, a horrible outcome was implanted in his mind.

The whole Beland was burning in the pitch-black night, and countless people stood on the top of the tall building, waving their hands savagely and shouting desperately.One by one, people leap from the roof into endless flames and become charred corpses like mountains.

The black flames continued to burn, seemingly without end. It was not until dawn, the cry of despair gradually ceased. The black flames faded away, leaving only pale embers in the city.The senior priest's mind was boiling, and he could not get the terrifying vision out of his mind.

With no delay, he knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the floor, not even daring to lift it at all.

"Yes, Infinite ‌disasters,‌ ‌the‌ ‌source‌ ‌of‌ ‌destruction, the Lord of Ashes who annihilated the stars. I, your humble servant, will obey your oracle."He could only express his humbleness and beg for his life from the terrible gods.

As for other things: whether the gift of God, or the unique feature of the little girl, or the sudden change in the god, he did not dare think about anything else at this moment.

In the depths of his heart, only the most primitive emotions remain- Fear.

Time was up for summoning.

"It's almost time to go back."

As a dense gray mist rose, he let out a long sigh of relief. The cultists were timider than he thought. He just slightly showed his flame, which made them fall to the ground with freight.

Shen Yi glanced at the little girl. They both looked at each other. She was protected by 'God.' So, she shouldn't be persecuted in the church.

Before leaving the villa, Shen Yi deliberately made another oracle.

"I will return to the world, and if you have nothing to do recently, then don't make a sacrifice."

Shen Yi would likely reveal his true identity if he was summoned more frequently. Since they were still afraid now, he ordered as the Lord of Ashes.

'I'm doing fine... Don't call me anymore!'

The high priest suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten and knew that the Lord of Ashes had left. Sure enough, the villa returned to its original state. The candles that had been extinguished were rekindled one by one, and the sound of rain from outside returned.

The high priest lifted his head, his creased face already covered with sweat. He slowly got up from the ground and looked around.

Dr. Norn was kneeling not far away. He had just awakened from a stupor. He stayed like that for a while before he got up from the ground. He asked in confusion, "Just now, what happened just now?"

The high priest was silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Dr. Norn, you are very fortunate you still kept your lowly pathetic remnants of sanity after facing the ancient gods directly."

Norn was stunned for a moment before jumping up wildly.

"What's going on? I'm asking you what's going on here. What's wrong with them? What the hell was that all about?"

Not everyone in this villa was as lucky as Norn. Most of the believers were screaming and laughing crazily, a weird sight to behold.

The high priest's face was expressionless and indifferent. It was difficult for ordinary people to maintain their sanity after confronting the gods. Fortunately, not all the funders participated in this sacrifice. But even if only a few upper-class people went crazy, it would be a big problem.

The high priest had a bit of a headache, and the investigators definitely had to get involved. However, the good news was that they could prove that the Lord of the Ashes had arrived.
