Chapter 602 Byron’s School: Holy Spear of Origin!

"The power of the stomach, three thousand pieces!"

An illusory giant wolf as tall as a hill swallowed the thief and leaped out of the earth.

A constantly rolling black sphere emerged from the huge translucent belly. It was the "stomach" manifested by Britney's power.

The sphere expanded and shrank from time to time, and it was obvious that the swallowed "maid" was struggling hard in the wolf's stomach.

Maybe it’s because of some reflection in the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood.

The big bad wolf ate Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother but couldn't digest them, which gave the hunter a chance to save them.

Therefore, the "unbearable feelings" in the story were fed back into Britney's power, and this divine art called [Fenrir's Devouring Mouth] was born.

It symbolizes the demon wolf Fenrir, whose upper and lower jaws can hold up the sky and earth when his mouth is opened.

The huge mouth can swallow all matter and energy, even the fireball released by Tricia.

The wolf's stomach can bind and digest everything swallowed into its stomach.

Unfortunately, she does not have the power of the [Styx] to digest and absorb divinity. She can only convert the "food" into energy and spit it out again, or replenish her own spirituality after digestion to improve her endurance, but she cannot permanently enhance her own upper limit.

But among the fifth-level upper wizards, it is also a first-class combat power.

With one successful strike, [Wolf Grandma] Britney also walked out of the hall.

The Pharaoh and his wife, who had already walked to the palace gate, disappeared.

She looked at the palace guards who were rushing in after hearing the alarm and asked casually:

"Is the thief going to be alive or dead?"

Most of the palace guards here are descendants of the fourth-order mythical creatures or fifth-order false gods in the Ennead School of Creation.

Because IQ has the "mean regression" characteristic, it is much more difficult for the descendants of wizards to inherit their parents' IQ than to inherit bloodline and property.

Those among them who have research qualifications will continue to join a certain pillar of the school for in-depth research.

Those who have no qualifications can only rely on their bloodline to make a living. Where the upper limit of their bloodline is, there is their limit.

And friends who often do research know that if you want to produce groundbreaking results, it is best to join when the foundation has already been laid by the masters in the relevant field and there is still a vast blue ocean overall.

Commonly known as peach picking.

Once the project is halfway through, the first wave of people who tried it out have already eaten up the fattest meat. Even if the people who come after them are very talented, they can only improve some minor details and become an inconspicuous one among countless changes.

It is commonly known as class solidification, or it is absolute solidification at the immortal level.

The Ennead School of Creation, which has been developing for a thousand years, mainly focuses on fabricating myths about the Ennead rather than exploring the truth of the vast world.

This sea has long been as red as it can be, otherwise the Pharaoh with the best conditions would not be stuck at the fourth level.

First, there was the invasion of [Lake Knight] Lancelot, and then there was the intrusion of the "thief" today. The palace guards who could fight one against a hundred were no different from ordinary soldiers in front of them.

The bigwigs of the school are only "follower gods" even in front of the seventh-level true god. Most of them are stationed in their own main cities throughout the empire and will not run to the palace to work as guards for no reason.

The previous captain of the guard died while chasing Lancelot, and the new captain of the guard smiled at Britney and said:

"Sir, as long as we can recover the treasure that His Majesty specifically asked us to use today, it doesn't matter if the thief lives or dies."

Britney nodded, and was about to completely digest the person and spit out the other party's storage items, but suddenly found that this "thief" was unexpectedly difficult to digest.

Before the divine aura in her body could burst out and she exerted some force, she suddenly found that the body of the illusory giant wolf was stiff and it turned into stone bit by bit from the abdomen.

Then a green light flashed, and the entire giant wolf shattered into pieces in an instant.

A figure reappeared in front of everyone, but it was no longer the maid thief at the beginning, but a Gorgon!

The lower body is a huge snake tail, and the upper body is a stunning beauty with six white arms. The most eye-catching thing is that her messy hair has all turned into colorful poisonous snakes, which are constantly spitting out scarlet snake tongues.

"Oh no, it's the followers of the Thousand Faces Snake. Close your eyes quickly and don't look at her."

The captain of the guards reacted in time and immediately shouted a warning.

However, there were still some guards who were too close to the Gorgon and were petrified on the spot by the petrifying aura, turning into hard gray-white stone sculptures.

The other people in the palace finally realized that the "thief" was actually a member of the old god's clan who practiced the original bloodline text "The Thousand Faces Ceremony".

Moreover, it is not a simple fourth-order mythical creature, but a fifth-order false god from the "Petrified Snake Nest" of the church under the command of the Thousand-Faced Serpent!

"Gorgon? As the high priest of the Flayed Cult, today I finally saw what a real Gorgon looks like."

No one understands the Gorgons better than Byron, for this is precisely the promotion path for his dark wizard society, the Flayed Order.

By practicing the "Rite of a Thousand Faces", using an obsidian dagger engraved with spells, and completing a series of skinning rituals targeting specific targets, you can peel off a piece of skin that is still full of life.

And retain the other person's personality, soul and extraordinary abilities intact.

As long as you put the skin on your body, you can gain the opponent's power completely.

The objects of skinning can be various animals, monsters, and of course humans, and the identity of a creature in the tribe can be replaced without anyone noticing.

Even if a higher-ranking transcendent is not paying attention, he may be easily fooled.

The higher their rank, the more skins and identities they can master, and the more difficult it is to identify them.

A fifth-order false god of the corresponding path disguised himself and sneaked in. Even though this was the secret realm of the Enneagram School, the maze lock could hardly capture the intruder.

Besides, Hydra, the Thousand-Faced Serpent, has regained his sanity. Just giving his followers a small piece of snake skin would be enough to increase their mystery to the point where they can run rampant.

If she hadn't stolen something, she would never have been discovered by a group of guards.

"What on earth did she steal that was worth the risk?"

Byron's figure flashed and he was already standing next to Britney. He reached out and patted her to help her get rid of the backlash of petrification.

He comforted her by saying:
“In theory, your digestion ability is not weaker than the opponent’s petrification ability, but you have just broken through to the fifth level, and your accumulation is too shallow.

Keep working hard and you will catch up sooner or later.

Leave the rest to me, so that we at the Storybrooke School can finish what we started."

Grandma Wolf moved her stiff body, nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

However, the Gorgon who had just escaped from the wolf's belly had no intention of continuing to tangle with them.

No matter how conceited she was, she didn't think she could escape from the royal capital, the Sun City Heliopolis, alive if she was entangled by someone.

Before the wizards from other schools caught up, he turned into a stream of green light and rushed towards the gate to the secret realm.

"Stay."

The shadow beneath Byron's feet grew dark, and like an arrow, it overtook the Gorgon.

Then it turned from black to red, and instantly became a long river of blood with countless monsters floating in it, switching to the power of the Night Demon.

call out!call out!call out!
Water splashed, and large blood-red tentacles covered with suction cups and ring-shaped mouthparts suddenly pierced through the air and rolled towards the Gorgon.

At this time, it was almost time for the dinner to begin. The evening sun gradually set, the blood moon slowly rose, and the blood-red moonlight fell like raindrops.

The size of all the tentacles suddenly increased the moment they touched the blood-red moonlight.

When Byron and his party first arrived, it was early July and there was only a crescent moon in the sky. But now, a week later, it is already the middle of the month and only a few days away from the full moon.

The face of the Mother of Creation gradually turned around, and the bonus to all the [Night Demons] on this continent increased significantly compared to the beginning of the month.

The one who benefits the most is naturally Byron, the Night Demon King who holds enormous power in the human empire and sits at the top of the pyramid of the Night Demon aristocracy system!
Even when Lilith was alive, she didn't rule over as many people as he did.

The projection of the power of the old god on the moon lowered his eyes. He was cold and vicious to other creatures, but he even flirted with Byron.

If it wasn't just a face, I would have lifted up the hem of her skirt to let him admire it.

The other night demons are at most Lilith’s own sons.

As for him, well, at least he has to be a stepfather.

"What? You call this scum? Can something that concerns gods be considered scum?

She took the initiative, and there was nothing I could do."

Of course, Byron's troubles were no less than those of the Ennead.

The more satisfying it is now, the more painful it will be when you are hunted by Lilith in the Luoyan Era.

If it were even more miserable, if the Mother of Creation, whose feelings were deceived by Byron, caught him, she would probably squeeze him dry a hundred times!

The Gorgon wanted to use the same trick again, with green light flashing in her eyes, and she wanted to turn those tentacles and even the entire river of blood into stone.

But Byron's resistance is much stronger than that of "Wolf Grandma" Britney.

Even with all her might, the Gorgon could only create a layer of stone skin on her tentacles.

Being chased by tentacles is extremely devastating:
"Are you from the old god's family, or am I? My Lord, there is a monster here!"

For most of the wizards from other schools who had chased out of the palace, it was the first time in their long lives that they had seen a scene where humans were even more evil than their own clansmen.

The beautiful and boneless Gorgon was about to be swallowed by the tentacle hell.

Then he heard the other party looking up and crying for help: "High Priest, save me!"

The voice just fell.

Om-!
A shrill sound of insect wings flapping suddenly rang out, and thick dark clouds rose close to the edge of the secret realm.

When everyone looked carefully, they found that they were countless black scarabs densely packed together.

They opened their sharp mouthparts and bit the pyramid-shaped barrier of the secret realm, making a sharp "crunch, crunch" sound that made people's teeth ache.

In just a few breaths, it bit through the secret realm, rushed in like a tide, and quickly spread to the sky above the entire secret realm. In the cities where mortals lived outside, the earth-shaking noises of whale oil bombs were heard one after another, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

In the midst of this chaos, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded from the nine divine pillars suspended above the secret realm:

"Second Holy Pillar urgent news, the capital Heliopolis was attacked, the attackers are the church of the Thousand-Faced Serpent, the Petrified Snake Nest, and the church of the Jackal God, the Rotten Swamp Tomb."

"Emergency message from the Fourth Holy Pillar: Memphis City was attacked by the Blind Church of the Eagle-Headed God"

"Eighth Holy Pillar urgent news, Thebes City was attacked, the attackers are a group of activated knowledge, and the shadow of Pan was found among them."

At the same time, streams of light rose into the sky from all over the city and rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

As the most powerful school in the Corridor of Truth, the Ennead School of Creation has more fifth-level wizards than the Storybrooke School, which only has seven including Hathaway. It is the only school on the continent with double-digit upper-level wizards.

Its hard power is even stronger than that of the Holy Silver Empire, which is suppressed by the church across the sea.

The highest-ranking wizards in the school are the First to Ninth Holy Pillars, and the remaining senior wizards serve as substitutes.

At this time, since the big cities guarded by the upper wizards were under attack, even the followers of the Thousand-Faced Snake sneaked into the secret realm of the palace, it was obviously a counterattack from the desert gods.

The large-scale attack on civilians across the Empire was not primarily to save the Banshees, but to mobilize humanity's defense forces, keep the Ennead School of Creation busy, and prevent them from exploring the Kingdom of Horus.

"Cleopatra VII, your ambition to seize Horus's [priesthood] will never succeed, and you should never dream of becoming a sixth-rank demigod in the Silver Age!"

The rolling cloud of scarabs transformed into a human face in the sky, roaring at the entire palace.

This is the conclusion reached by many churches of the Desert Pantheon after investigation.

If the Ennead School of Creation does not want to die, it must acquire the power to resist the Old Gods before the arrival of the Luo Yan Era. As long as they can stop them, they will win.

When the insect face appeared, exclamations were heard from all over the palace:

“This is Hamna, the former Second Holy Pillar who was tortured by insects three hundred years ago but accidentally touched the realm of the Eagle-Headed God and had already fallen.

He is also the most powerful cursed spirit at present, the High Priest! "

"It's really him!"

The senior wizards from various schools could not help but shrink their necks, and their feet that were about to step out of the palace were retracted again. Even Julian, the "Time Merchant" of the Clock Tower School, was no exception.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

This ruthless man was the culprit who killed the previous pharaoh three hundred years ago.

He first had an affair with Pharaoh's concubine, Sosia. After being discovered by Pharaoh, Hamna turned around and attacked Pharaoh, causing him fatal injuries.

Sosia was killed by the guards who came later, and he himself was unable to escape. He was personally ordered by Cleopatra VII, who was still a princess at the time, to be "destroyed by insects":
"Wrapped like a mummy and sealed in a coffin filled with flesh-eating scarabs.

The swarm of insects bit him all over, and even burrowed into his orifices to eat his internal organs. However, because he was already a fifth-rank upper wizard, he would never die. He was constantly eaten and recovered, and he would never be free. "

But no one expected that he, a high-ranking wizard of the Ennead School of Creation, in his endless fear and hatred, accidentally touched the dead God-King [Falcon-Headed God] Horus through the medium of the scarab.

Because in the legend of the Desert Empire, it is the scarab that drives the sun to rise and set, and it is born with solar divinity.

Although Hamna's corruption failed to shake the Nine Pillars of Creation and turn them into cursed objects, he himself became the most powerful cursed spirit.

After being freed from the seal, it became the embodiment of the ten plagues: blood, lice, frogs, flies, livestock plague, herpes, hail, locust plague, darkness, and the firstborn.

The endless scarabs are his true body. As long as there is one alive, he will never die.

At the same time, he is also the cursed spirit with the greatest hope of reaching the sixth level in the Corridor of Truth like [Life-threatening Clown].

The only thing that restricted him was that the population and quality of the blood sacrifice were not enough.

His strongest obsession now is to resurrect his beloved Sosia. If he were to get together with Lancelot and Pan, they would definitely have a lot in common.

Form an alliance of wife lovers.

"Get out!"

The [High Priest] possessed the knowledge of both the Ennead School of Creation and the Eagle-Headed God. He was not suppressed by the secret realm of the pyramid at all and did not take Byron seriously at all.

With a low roar, countless scarabs immediately glowed with black light and rushed towards the long river of blood like millions of sharp arrows.

"The enemy is moving faster than our own people. What is Cleopatra doing?"

Byron couldn't help but frown.

The wisdom of his ancestors told him: "If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose himself; if a few things are not discreet, harm will occur."

Things haven't even started yet, so why is it that the entire empire is already in a state of panic?
But he judged others by himself and looked at the Queen from the perspective of an imperial emperor, and felt that it was impossible for a fool to sit on the throne for three hundred years.

Just ignore other things and leave the enemy in front of you first.

Before meeting the only emperor in the only empire in the Corridor of Truth, he showed off his unique skills.

If after he finishes his work, the subsequent performance of [Cleopatra] does not satisfy him.

Then the aid from the world's first industrial country would no longer fall on the Desert Empire.

Gua! Gua! Gua!
The bottom of the Blood River was flashing with blood, and suddenly it was filled with frogs as big as millstones.

They opened their mouths at the same time, and countless powerful tongues instantly swept away a small group of scarabs in the sky.

He swallowed it into his stomach with a "gulp" sound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than sixty tentacles that were thicker than at the beginning popped out from the river like an explosion, wrapped around the Gorgon at lightning speed, and dragged her into the Styx on the other side.

The one who attacked was a giant sea monster: Ammonite Snail.

It had been dormant since the last colonial war, and after a long period of transformation, its size had skyrocketed to ninety meters, long exceeding the boundaries of a giant sea monster.

He is now qualified to compete with the [King of the Deep Sea] of [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayreddin.

"you wanna die!"

The high priest Hamna, who was looking down from a high position, became furious when he found that his companions were missing.

The spiritual light on the scarabs in the sky turned into a pale green, and then they opened their mouths and spewed green plague gas towards the river of blood and the entire palace.

Legend has it that this was a powerful plague among the Ten Plagues that killed all humans along the Sedge River, and it was also improved by Hamna.

After some of the monsters in the river came into contact with the plague, their flesh immediately turned gray, countless swollen lumps of flesh appeared under their skin, and then countless scarabs emerged from their bodies and merged into the cloud of insects above their heads.

Ordinary false gods would obviously be at a disadvantage fighting against him. As the strength of the two sides weakens, even if they are stronger, they would be worn down to death by him.

The scarabs here are just parts of his body. Even if they are all killed, the high priest will not die.

"You think no one can kill you?"

Byron did not use his trump card [The Sword in the Stone] which could cut all the anchor chains in one blow. Instead, a red light flashed in his hand, revealing a red spear with a double spiral pattern.

This is not an ordinary wonder or holy relic, but the embodiment of his truth.

Both [Ms. Leech] and [Murderous Doctor] are already fourth-order transcendents in the Ladder of Glory sequence.

A surgeon and a life engineer, each of them has mastered "Anatomy" and "Genetics", which are fields that the old gods have not set foot in, and are enough to piece together a brand new concept.

During this period, they respectively jumped out of the forbidden knowledge of Lilith, the Mother of Creation, and Hydra, the Thousand-Faced Serpent, and under the guidance of the Storybrooke School, they determined their own [Truth Manifestation] - the Holy Lance of Origin.

One research direction is human beings, and the other research direction is outside of human beings. The Holy Spear of Origin is the bridge connecting human beings and outside of human beings.

As we all know, the "collective unconscious" is the collective consciousness field of all similar creatures throughout the ages.

It is the storage layer of the soul power, imagination, experience and experiences of all living things. After the death of a living thing, it will also become information stored in the consciousness field.

The "collective unconscious" is passed down through common genes, shared by all similar organisms, and also invisibly dominates all individuals of the same species.

In other words, individual development will influence the "collective unconscious", and the "collective unconscious" will also have a profound impact on the individual. It is a mutually beneficial relationship.

It is not just intelligent creatures like humans that have collective subconsciousness, but even animals, plants, and bacteria have their own collective subconsciousness.

In his previous life, Byron had conducted a famous experiment with a hundred monkeys.

There were several groups of monkeys living on an archipelago separated by the sea. Suddenly one day, a monkey learned to wash off the dirt on potatoes in the sea water before eating them.

Before long, not only the monkey on that island, but all the isolated monkey groups in the entire archipelago, had learned to wash potatoes without any instruction.

This is enough to prove from the side the magical power of the "collective unconsciousness" of the population.

Therefore, their "Origin Holy Spear School" is designed to study humans and non-humans, and to break through the barriers in the collective subconscious ocean of all living organisms!

The prototype of "Truth in the Realm" was created by Byron, Catherine and Violet.

A drop of blood in Byron's body carries the "energy" he symbolizes.

The illusory dragon scale that Catherine transmitted through the financial street carried the "message" that she symbolized.

Violet used her own blood to transform a blood-red steel ingot, which carried the "matter" she represented, and personally forged it into a spear.

And they are endowed with all the biological, genetic and medical information currently available to them.

Although it has just been born, it can theoretically connect to the collective subconscious of all races. In the future, it may even be possible to integrate the power of the entire biosphere and achieve the highest level of gathering!

The scarab is certainly no exception.

Byron raised his gun and pierced the body of a scarab like lightning.

Then, he injected the collective consciousness behind it with the [Alice Virus (Harem Version)] that failed to kill him at the beginning!
"The modified Alice virus will continue to divide in the host like cancer cells, giving birth to one, two, three, or even hundreds of Alices.

They will compete for each other's favor, be extremely jealous, and will not allow the host to fall in love with someone else. Soon the host will be carved up by countless Alices with hatchets."

squeak--!
The next moment, from the royal palace to the Sun City and then to half of the empire, wherever there were scarabs, the shrill chirping of insects could be heard.

Then it turned into a surprised voice: "Sosia, you are alive?!"
