Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 329: Achlis, Lord of Flesh and Blood

Of course, that barrier was nothing to Shang An. It was not much harder than a piece of paper and would break with a single poke.

However, Shang An has no intention of ruling mankind. For the time being, he just plans to be a stay-at-home in this villa.

……

Not far away in the suburbs, a skinny figure dressed in a black robe, who seemed to blend into the darkness, looked at the lighted villa and let out a strange laugh, like the cry of a night crow, which made people shudder.

"Wow, that villa is occupied again. It just so happens that my Lord is short of a few sacrifices."

There was a bloodthirsty light in his cloudy eyes, as if he was looking at prey.

Compared to the city, it is easier to take action in the suburbs, and you won't be easily targeted by those mad dogs of the night watch.

Moreover, the residents of this villa are new and it is a detached villa with no other residents around. Kidnapping them will not attract other people's attention, which is much more convenient than kidnapping people in the city.

By the time their disappearance was discovered, I would have probably completed the sacrifice long ago and, with the Lord's blessing, been promoted to the third level.

It really is the most suitable target.

Taking advantage of the night, the man in black robe quietly sneaked to the side of the villa. He was silent all the way and the people in the villa were unaware.

He grinned, revealing a row of yellow and black teeth, looking like a devil from hell.

"Great Lord of Flesh and Blood Aklis, please bless your believers."

After reciting the name of the great Lord as usual, he smiled cruelly and stepped into the yard of the villa.

He did not think that anyone in this villa could threaten him. With his extraordinary strength of the second level, he could be ranked as a strong man even in the whole Province N. If he could be promoted to the third level, he would have some confidence even when facing the Night Watchmen. He just got used to chanting the name of the great Achelous before every action.

Anyway, it’s impossible to encounter that kind of hidden strong man by just picking a few people at random.

He easily crossed the courtyard of the villa, and thinking of the panic-stricken expression on the villa owner's face when he saw him, he became more and more excited.

He enjoyed the feeling of watching fear spread to others little by little, so even though he could easily kill those ordinary people, he chose to scare them first, like a ghost that greedily fed on fear, watching those people slowly fall into despair.

Although this behavior caused him to be discovered by the night watchmen several times, he just couldn't change this hobby.

The gate of the villa was open, but as a believer in the evil god, he naturally would not take the usual route.

He climbed over the windowsill into the villa, and his body swelled up in an instant, turning into a two-meter-tall giant covered with tumors. This was the power bestowed upon him by the great Lord of Flesh and Blood.

It was unknown what material the black robe was made of, but it was not torn by his body.

With heavy steps, he walked towards the place where he felt there was someone.

In the study room of the villa, a man was reading a book, and a woman in a black robe was serving him.

"Hehehe, what delicious flesh and blood!"

Looking at the harmonious scene, he let out a strange sound and the lights suddenly went out at this moment.

His voice was like the sound of rusty steel rubbing against a wall, harsh and eerie.

If an ordinary person faced this scene, he would definitely scream in horror and give him a wonderful fear.

But the two people seemed not to hear it and didn't even show any expression.

The black-robed man's sinister laugh gradually became quieter, and looking at the two people who still didn't react, he fell into self-doubt.

Could it be that he opened it the wrong way? Shouldn’t these two people scream in fear when they saw him?

Doesn't he look scary now?

Isn't his voice scary enough?
At least give me some reaction, you bastard!
"The taste of human flesh is so nostalgic!"

He used a sinister voice to speak the lines he had learned from the zombies, and actively exuded his own aura.

If he can't see the fear of others, he will feel very unfulfilled.

This time the man finally responded.

"It's a bit noisy." Shang An closed the book and glanced at it. "Xiao Hei, deal with it. Remember to explore his memory to see what that Achlis is."

If he wasn't curious about what that Acris was, how could this ugly follower of the evil god have gotten in?

The black-robed man who turned into a mountain of flesh was furious. He could tell from Shang An's tone that he didn't take him seriously.

"Asshole, how dare you be so small..."

He suddenly stuttered, a deep darkness reflected in his eyes, and a wave of fear filled his heart.

The woman who was originally as humble as a maid suddenly stood up, and then she felt endless darkness enveloping her.

The darkness, which he once regarded as a protective color, not only did not show its tranquility this time, but was filled with the deepest malice in the world, as if there were thousands of ferocious beasts glaring at him in the darkness.

He felt like every inch of his skin was about to explode, and the surging malice almost overwhelmed his sanity.

In just a moment, he was going crazy.

Along with it came endless fear.

Originally he hated the light. The brighter the light, the more he looked like a rat in a gutter.

But now he suddenly began to yearn for even a ray of light to take him away from here, to escape from this darkness filled with malice.

The ferocious beast in the darkness seemed to rush up, gnawing at every inch of his skin and every bone, sucking his soul and squeezing it into juice.

The shadow of death looms.

"God! It's God, it turns out to be God, hahahahaha." He let out his last crazy laugh.

He's crazy.

In the darkness, he became a feast within a feast.

Outside, the black-robed man's swollen body seemed to have leaked air, and shrank again into a skinny figure. Then the skinny figure dissipated like foam, leaving no dust behind, and the house was still tidy.

"Master, Aklis's name is the God of Flesh and Blood. He seems to control flesh and blood, life, etc. The whereabouts of his true body is unknown. The church this person belongs to was only established because they once obtained a piece of flesh and blood with the breath of Aklis."

Xia Shiyun talked about the information she got from the memory of this evil god believer, thought for a moment, and then said: "Based on the aura I felt from this person's memory, I feel that this Achlis should be slightly weaker than me."

The following paragraph is her own speculation.

"It turned out to be just a small fry."

Shang An was a little disappointed. He thought he could get information about one or two evil gods in the Taiyi Realm.

But it's normal. With the level of this world, even if there are really Taiyi realm people, there can't be too many of them. It's normal to be hard to encounter.

"I hope this Achlis has something in his head. Xiao Hei, go build an altar to summon the projection of the God of Flesh and Blood. As for the sacrifice..."

Shang An casually threw out the corpse of a big monster and said, "Use this." This was a big monster whose blood was so full that it was almost overflowing. Even among the monsters in "Zhan Tian", it would be a strong man in the holy realm, and it would be several points stronger than the crocodile ancestor on Mars.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. The more precious the sacrifice, the stronger the power carried by the projection of the descending god of flesh and blood, and the more information it contains.

Although most evil gods cannot break through the barrier and come to Earth in their true form, they can draw in some of their power through the attraction of their believers. This is why the Night Watch will crack down on cults so severely.

Any church that believes in the true God is a cult.

A good church is one that does not believe in the existence of a God, such as Christianity and Buddhism.

You have to know that even if it is a projection of a god, it is definitely a lowest fourth-order Morning Star-level existence, which can easily destroy a city and cause countless casualties.

According to the information from the Night Watch, the division of the supernatural system in this world is quite clear.

The first is the three extraordinary levels, corresponding to the strange disaster level, catastrophe level and calamity level respectively.

Even the lowest level disaster-level monsters are capable of massacring villages and destroying towns. Ordinary thermal weapons are ineffective against these monsters.

The limit of the ghost-controlling system is generally the disaster level.

Above that is the fourth-order Morning Star, which also corresponds to the strange disaster level, indicating that this level is as difficult to resist as a natural disaster.

The Morning Star level is the highest level of extraordinary beings that the Earth can accommodate. If no one stops it, the Morning Star level can easily destroy a country. Even the ultimate weapon of mankind, the nuclear bomb, cannot harm a strong person of this level.

The fifth-level Huiyue and sixth-level Xiri that came after that do not exist on Earth and only exist in human archives.

The "gods" that some cults believe in are actually only at this level.

As for the seventh level, it is what humans call the true god level. It is a god who truly masters the rules and is the true master of this universe.

The Night's Watch only got a few words about this level from those ancient ruins.

This level is a true taboo. Even its name cannot be mentioned. Calling it by name may cause great terror.

Except for those believers of the evil god, no one dares to mention the name of the evil god.

Once, a certain Night Watch branch was in turmoil because someone called out the name of a certain evil god, which happened to attract the attention of that evil god. As a result, the entire branch was influenced by the evil god and fell into darkness. In the end, the headquarters had to send people to reluctantly deal with all the people in the branch.

There should be more above the seventh level, but there is no record of them in the Night Watch's information.

That Lord of Flesh and Blood is, as expected, a seventh-level being.

Xia Shiyun took the corpse of the big monster and found a wasteland to set up.

Other cults usually hold large-scale sacrifices in suburbs or mountain villages near urban areas, but never in deserted places.

This is because offering sacrifices to the evil god requires precious treasures or a large number of living people. Compared to searching for those hard-to-find treasures, it is obviously easier to capture a large number of living people, as they are just consumables anyway.

It is also impossible to transfer so many people over a large area, otherwise they would easily be caught by those sharp night watchmen.

Therefore, using local materials and performing sacrifices locally became the norm.

The purpose of Xia Shiyun's sacrifice was to facilitate the capture of the projection of the evil god, and she did not want to cause too much impact. Of course, it would be more appropriate to do it in a place like a wasteland where there were few people.

"Who summoned the great Achlis?"

A buzzing sound was heard, as if hundreds of millions of people were speaking at the same time. An ordinary person would probably have their sanity value drop dramatically just by hearing this sound.

The blood-red light enveloped the demon corpse, and the sound of boiling blood and flesh came one after another.

Achlis, the Lord of Flesh and Blood, has arrived.

At the same time, a crystal ball in the Night Watch Bureau also emitted a dazzling red light.

The entire bureau was in chaos in an instant.

"Someone summoned the evil god. Damn it. Which church is it?"

Director Ji Ruxue looked extremely unhappy.

This is a treasure issued by the headquarters to check the power of the evil god. Within a certain range, as long as the breath of the evil god is sensed, a red light will light up. The stronger the red light, the stronger the summoned evil god's shadow.

"I am pleased with your offering, believer. Tell me what you wish for."

A huge meat ball shadow appeared in the sky and gradually solidified. On the meat ball grew an extremely huge mouth, almost half the width of the meat ball. Inside was a series of jagged fangs with meat shreds hanging on them.

The ball of flesh is red like muscle, and has many eyes and various limbs growing irregularly on it. It looks polluted at a glance because of the dense crowds.

At this moment, his big mouth that penetrated half of his flesh ball was swallowing the demon corpse in front of him.

Xia Shiyun's sacrifice was actually not pious, and even not in compliance with the law, and she was not a true believer in the evil god.

But the sacrifice was too tempting, so Acris came anyway.

"A wish? Leave yourself behind."

Xia Shiyun said coldly, no longer trying to hide her feelings, and endless darkness enveloped the surroundings.

"Mortal, how dare you offend me!!!"

Achlis's voice was filled with anger, and then turned into shock: "No, that's not right. Which true god are you? Why are you my enemy?"

Xia Shiyun didn't say anything, but just quickened her movements.

The darkness turned into a big net, easily wrapping up the flesh ball that Achlis had transformed into.

Even though the incarnation of Acherus has the power of the peak of the fourth level and close to the fifth level, it is facing a complete true god, an existence that will be in trouble even if his true body appears.

"Roar!" Achlis let out an unwilling roar.

"I am the true god who controls the night. I am a subordinate of the Supreme Mother Goddess. You wait..."

Before he could finish his last harsh words, the incarnation of Aklis lost consciousness.

The crystal ball of the Night Watch Station returned to normal, leaving the Night Watchmen, who were ready to go with a determined look on their faces, a little confused.

"It seems to have been resolved?"

……

"So that's it."

“The rules born from chaos, the innate evil gods and the acquired evil gods, are they really the world of restraint?”

After exploring Achlis's memory and destroying the meat ball, Shang An also had a general understanding of this world.

Everything in this world originated from Azathoth, the blind and foolish god.

He is the Creator, the Lord of all things, and the ultimate chaos. He listens to the music of evil flutes and filthy drums, sleeping in the deepest part of the universe. When he wakes up, it will be the end of the universe.
