Chapter 540 Confess your sins in the holy current!
This is how history is. What is written in books and passed down orally is not necessarily the truth. With archaeological discoveries, more and more new evidence can help future generations restore that period of history.

A tombstone of a dwarf god's believer is enough to show that there are big problems in this place.

After going around the collapsed area and moving forward, the three of them soon saw something that concerned them again.

A body that looked like a tiefling lay on the side of the road, but I was unsure because it was completely unrecognizable.

The entire corpse was bulging and swollen as if it had been soaked in water. At first glance, it looked a bit like a giant. But when you get closer, you will find that his body is covered with large and small "holes", as if something has eaten him from the inside, leaving only an empty shell. The main way to identify his race is through the tiefling's tail.

Nimia shrank her head when she saw this. After all, she was also a tiefling, and seeing her fellow tribesmen die so tragically, she could somewhat empathize with them.

"He is a member of the Wild Bear Mercenary Group, Miss Alday. Look, he still has the badge of the mercenary group hanging around his neck."

The ones chasing them in the city before were the Wild Bear Mercenaries. It seems that these guys have been in the ruins for a long time.

The corpse was badly eaten and it was difficult to tell how long ago the person had been dead, but it was definitely not normal for the mercenaries to not even bury their companions.

Oldie looked down and found some lumps on the body that were obviously not caused by decay.

If you poke it with a staff, the lump will even twist and feel...

Like some kind of parasite.

"This guy should be used as a seedbed, a test subject for breeding some kind of creature. Judging from the wound, I think it looks more like a spider."

"The Ghost-Faced Spider wouldn't be like this, would it?"

Oldie shook her head.

"It's hard to say. It might be a special breed that has been ripened by some evil magic. Stay away from him. Let's go."

This series of clues clearly told Oldie that there was danger ahead.

The three of them continued forward along the passage. Perhaps because of the psychological trauma brought by the corpse, Nimya patted his body from time to time, fearing that he would be eaten from the inside like the tiefling.

This time we walked for almost half an hour, and at this moment a vague sound entered our ears.

The three of them immediately became alert and moved from the center of the cave to the side, pacing carefully along one side.

As the distance got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer. I could tell it was a human voice, but because of the echo in the cave, I couldn't hear what exactly was being said.

Walking a little further, the three saw an exit.

Nemia carefully moved closer to investigate. It was unknown what she saw, but when Aldee and Zora saw Nemia, their tails stood up straight. Then Nemia waved at them, signaling them to come over.

After walking out of the cave, we came to another huge underground cavity, but this cavity was not as huge as the first one and we could see the end at a glance.

The entire cavity was illuminated by pale green flames. The center of the cavity looked like a basin, and the three people appeared at the entrance above the basin.

Looking carefully into the basin, I could see a large group of armed people standing nearby on guard. They seemed to be Wild Bear mercenaries.

In the center of the basin, a huge pale green flame was burning, but incredibly, it did not emit any heat at all, and even felt very cold.

Surrounding the flames, a group of unidentified people wearing black robes with flame patterns on the hems were instructing the Wild Bear Mercenaries to pick up the corpses and throw them into the flames.

Every time a corpse was thrown in, the black-robed people surrounding the flames would shout in unison:

"Imix!"

This scene made Olde feel a little dizzy. She seemed to vaguely remember that she had seen a similar scene not long ago, but she was not sure.

"What is Imix?"

Nimya lowered her voice so low that it would be hard to hear if it were any quieter.

"I don't know, maybe it's some god. Let's see the situation first. It would be best if we can bypass it."

Zora nodded and clenched the holy emblem around his neck. This scene of using corpses for sacrifice showed that Imix was not a good person and was probably an evil god.

Alde shook her head, trying to sober herself up. At this moment, she noticed that the bodies thrown into the flames by the Wild Bear Mercenaries were all the ones she had seen at the door before, the group of prosthetic limb enthusiasts, suspected to be members of the "Glow Ion Yin Society".

Even their semi-mechanized bodies were easily burned to ashes in the pale green flames, leaving no dust behind.

Despite such a high temperature, there was no sense of heat wave at all. This flame was definitely not just green.

Considering the black circular pattern on the square in front of the maze, perhaps this group of people had performed a sacrifice before.

But why again?
Why didn’t they use up all the previous corpses, and why did they specifically move them to another place?

There must be a meaning to the enemy's actions, Alday felt, and it was not a good thing.

Just as I was thinking about this, a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted the ceremony.

When he looked up, he saw that one of the members of the Glowing Ion Yin Cult was still alive.

"I am a spark in the divine current..."

His voice didn't sound like that of a living person, but more like an electronic sound, coming from a broken throat mechanism.

"I am a cog in a great machine..."

"Throw him in!"

The man in black robe instructed the Wild Wolf mercenaries to take action. Life or death didn't matter, as the sacrifice could not be interrupted.

This member of the Glow Ion Yin Order was still alive, but he was only breathing his last breath. His mechanical prostheses were broken, and a large amount of dark brown liquid that looked like motor oil was flowing out of his mouth and nose, which were barely recognizable as living. His eyes were lifeless.

But he continued to read mechanically:

"I am a hot wire in the glow of creation!"

The Wild Bear Mercenary had already lifted the man up and was shouting “one, two, three” to let go and throw him into the blazing green flames.

The cyborg continued to chant without fear:

"I will merge into His great code!"

Even though he was engulfed in flames, the half-mechanized man in red robes remained fearless. He did not struggle in the flames, but raised his hands with all his strength:
"Pagans! You will be destroyed!"

A string of intense electric light instantly overwhelmed the flames. An exaggerated electric arc burst out from the center of the flames, twisting and leaving several burning scorch marks on the ground.

"Damn it! The ceremony was interrupted, we have to start over!"

The black-robed man who presided over the ceremony was furious and shot an arc of electricity at him, but it seemed to hit a shadow and did not cause any damage.

The people around him had no time to respond to him. The electric arc bursting out from the flames swept past quickly, and in an instant, the people surrounding the flames were blown to the ground by the electric arcs.

This was a good opportunity. While they were in confusion, the three of them could go around from above.

After all, there were too many people, and if a fight really broke out, Alde and the others wouldn't have any advantage.

But before the three of them could make any move, Alde immediately grabbed Zora and Nimia who were about to stand up:
"Don't move, there's another one coming."

Almost as soon as Oldie finished speaking, wherever the electric arc swept through the basin below, long, thin purple-black cracks opened up. If you look closely, you can even see twinkling stars through the cracks.

"Pagan! Confess your sins in the holy current!"

As the electronic sound rang out, a large group of cyborgs dressed in red robes and holding knives and axes rushed out from the cracks and fought without hesitation with the Wild Bear mercenaries who were trying to avoid the electric arcs.

The scene was chaotic.
