Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 439 The Spirit of Silence
"what--!!!"

The sudden movement of the Silent Crow startled the surrounding members of the cult, who retreated in disarray.

The newly hatched crow was not affected by the people around it.

It is not particularly interested in other parts of the body.

They simply pried open the heads of the cult at their feet.

The gas mask was completely ineffective.

Even the hard skull is as fragile as foam, and can be pierced in an instant.

Its beak held the severed head in its mouth, as if it were holding a basketball, and it kept turning and banging it on the ground.

Finally, they pried open the cult member's head, exposing his brain.

The Silent Crow then began to enjoy its meal with satisfaction.

After eating a brain, the crow's size noticeably increased.

If it was originally only one meter long, it is now two meters long.

The land of Silent Hill possessed magical powers even before the presence of Native Americans.

When some Native Americans migrated here, the power of Silent Hill was further activated and amplified.

They called this place "the dwelling place of the silent spirits" or "the nest of ravens".

The so-called silent spirits are the souls of these Native American ancestors, and also include the flowers, trees, rocks and rivers of this place.

At that time, Silent Hill was still a very pure natural place.

Silent Hill reflects the power of the soul and also helps Native Americans communicate with their ancestors.

Then the British colonists arrived.

They brought doctrines originating from Europe and China.

The fusion of Christianity and the indigenous religions of Native Americans formed the precursor to the modern religious order.

In the 18th century, a plague broke out in the area, causing the deaths of many residents.

All the survivors fled.

Some time later, in the early 19th century, this place was designated as an overseas penal colony for criminals.

Around 1840, the prison closed, and the place was abandoned once again.

It wasn't until the 1850s that new settlers moved in and established a town, which they named Silent Hill.

Furthermore, a large number of coal mines were discovered underground, which led to the prosperity of Silent Hill.

The cult has been operating covertly within the organization during this period.

The quality and number of members in the religious groups back then were much better than they are now.

Until decades ago, a fire burned Silent Hill and most of the cult members to the ground.

It's important to know that the cult at that time was divided into various factions.

Moreover, everyone in the cult believes in the same supreme deity.

However, each faction also worships other deities.

For example, Robesy Weiss, Sucharbala, Our Lady.

But with the fire decades ago.

All branches of the cult disappeared in the flames.

Now only the new cult that Dalia reorganized remains, still striving to give birth to the so-called god.

Therefore, most of the members in the cult today are those who have been developed in the last twenty years.

Their belief in so-called gods is not necessarily that fervent.

Some of them were also speculators.

Therefore, when they saw the Silent Crows suddenly begin attacking their own people, these people also fell into instinctive panic.

"Quiet! Quiet! It is an honor for Raven. By offering his body to the Raven God, his soul will attain eternal life in Paradise!"

When Dalia saw the commotion among the cult members around her, she immediately stood up in dissatisfaction, spread her arms, and roared loudly at the crowd.

An attempt was made to calm the panicked crowd.

"The gods love us!"

Dalia raised her arms and shouted!
Then a tremendous force came from behind.

The priest was trampled to the ground by the crows.

The giant Silent Raven trampled over Dalia's body and pounced on the other panicked cult members who were fleeing!
Screams echoed throughout the church!

Blood was sprayed everywhere.

Dalia, covered in dust, got up from the ground and looked at the crowd rushing around inside the church.

A giant crow-like monster with a tiny head.

Far from feeling fear or anger, she clasped her hands together in a prayerful gesture: "We have succeeded! The great and almighty God has been born! The Kingdom of God will soon descend upon this defiled world, and a new world will begin!"

"Snapped!"

Dalia was still praising the Raven God.

The now larger silent crows flew past Dalia again.

The enormous wings knocked Dalia to the ground once again.

"High Priest, are you alright?"

Sandy Sloan ran over and helped Dalia up.

Seeing Dalia's pained expression, Mrs. Sloane hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Priestess Gilesby, is that raven truly our god?"

She simply couldn't believe it.

The religious order has upheld its faith and worked hard for so many years.

The gods who were born looked like this.

Dalia, who presided over the ceremony, was absolutely certain of this.

This is what the gods of Silent Hill should look like.

In the earliest times, the gods worshipped by Native Americans were also associated with crows.

This is the result of Dalia's tracing back to the source.

Dalia then looked at Mrs. Sloan with displeasure: "Sloan, this is blasphemy against God. You cannot doubt His actions, even if..."

Dalia hadn't finished speaking.

A huge bird's beak had already pecked down behind them.

He picked up the rambling Dalia and swallowed her whole in one gulp!
He only let out a short, instinctive gasp!
By this time, the silent crow had grown to a height of twenty meters.

Although it prefers to eat heads.

But given its size, it's clearly more convenient to eat one person at a time.

Dalia was about to be eaten whole by the giant raven.

How could Mrs. Sloane possibly remain calm?!

Faith is as fragile as a bubble in the face of the fear of death.

Without a second thought, Sandy Sloan turned and ran.

But the Silent Crow simply lowered its head and, as if eating an insect, swallowed Sloan whole.

Looking around now...

The entire church was covered in blood and mangled corpses.

Only Mrs. Mocardi, covered in blood and trembling as if filled with fear, remained standing there, too afraid to move.

A few seconds later.

She slowly removed the gas mask from her head, her face pale with fright as she looked up blankly at the crows that were looking down at her.

"Oh God……"

She clasped her hands together and prayed softly.

The Silent Raven raised its head and stopped looking at Mokadi.

Maybe they were full, or maybe they were just too lazy to care anymore.

The giant raven spread its wings, surrounded by mist, as if it were about to take flight.

At this moment, Xu Wang, who had been dead, suddenly came back to life!
She rushed forward and grabbed the crow's claws: "My little one! You're my child! You can't abandon me!"

"Gah——!"

The Silent Crow seemed very displeased with Xu Wang's contact with it.

He turned his head to stare at Xu Wang, his pupils swirling with a thick fog.

Xu Wang had an instinctive feeling.

The silent crow is trying to reflect his soul.

This has nothing to do with mind reading or memory access.

Rather, it is the outward manifestation of a person's subconscious mind.

This power exists in the land of Silent Hill.

But it's more like a natural phenomenon.

But the crow in front of them clearly possessed the ability to actively control this power.

Ever since.

Under the watchful gaze of the silent crows, Xu Wang's dark side slowly coalesced.

It was a twisted dish that looked both fragrant and foul.

Xu Wang saw this thing.

His face immediately darkened!

He was still thinking about it.

What kind of monster will Silent Hill project based on his inner thoughts?

After all, he considered himself to be sunny and cheerful enough.

Aside from feeling disgusted and repulsed by rats, I didn't have any psychological trauma. The outcome was unexpected.

Silent Hill truly lives up to its reputation as a mental sanatorium!
It even managed to dig out such a tricky psychological trauma!

This is a dish stir-fried by Tie Zhu.

It was even the dish where Xu Wang first caught Tie Zhu adding feces to the food!
It certainly gave Xu Wang a huge shock at the time!

From then on, Xu Wang never let Tie Zhu touch the kitchen utensils again.

Although the dog was touched that it took out its favorite food to share with Xu Wang.

But Xu Wang really couldn't accept this kind of love.

"Gujiguji~"

A viscous, wriggling sound rang out.

Then you see a pair of dog legs growing out from under the plate of stir-fried vegetables.

A deformed arm grew out of the plate.

Clutching chopsticks in her arm, she picked up a mouthful of food and ran towards Xu Wang, waving her arms.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Don't come any closer!"

Xu Wang quickly climbed up the crow's feet.

The stir-fry monster was still hot on its heels.

Even the silent crows were stunned by this scene.

I never expected that what I summoned would be this thing.

So it stopped and with a sudden flap of its wings, smashed through the church dome and flew into the sky above the inverted world!

The wind howled all around.

Xu Wang, still holding the Silent Crow's foot, opened his mouth and bit down!
The large crow cawed loudly and swung its leg sharply, trying to shake Xu Wang off.

But this had no effect.

Then the silent crow turned into mist and disappeared.

It blended seamlessly into the dense fog that already existed in the Upside Down, without showing any abnormality.

Xu Wang suddenly felt his arms go empty, and he was falling rapidly from a height of a thousand meters!
Upon seeing this, Xu Wang was overjoyed and quickly clapped his hands, using the ability he had gained after being sacrificed by the cult, [Sacrifice].

The effect is simple: you can freely sacrifice anything from your body.

Make a wish.

Wishes cannot guarantee 100% success, nor can they guarantee how successful they will be.

This is also related to how much Xu Wang can sacrifice.

This skill is quite useless to many people.

But for Xu Wang, the ability to sacrifice himself alone is enough to make it a quick and easy alternative skill for the Wujiang Sword.

What's more, making a wish is actually quite fun.

Xu Wang quickly sacrificed most of his life force and shouted, "You crow! Come out here!"

"bump!"

Xu Wang fell from a great height!
In the case of sacrificing a large amount of life force.

This attack smashed Xu Wang into a radiating mass of minced meat!
[Dead]

[Cause of death: Dropped from a high altitude by a silent crow]

[Death Reward: 1 Spirit of Silence]

[The Spirit of Silence: Based on the power of the mind, it can create an inverse world, which will become the embodiment of the mind.]

really!

Just like Xu Wang thought!
The raven summoned by the cult through a sacrificial ritual possesses the power of Silent Hill.

Xu Wang had thought about this before.

Does the land of Silent Hill truly have gods?

Even if such a deity does exist, it would most likely be an unconscious being that acts solely on instinct.

In fact, just as Xu Wang thought.

There are indeed no gods in Silent Hill.

Since ancient times.

It has always been just a land with mysterious powers.

It could even be attributed to natural phenomena.

However, the beliefs and customs of the Native Americans led to the first appearance of an inverted world in Silent Hill.

It also allowed them to see the spirit that was the main thread in their hearts.

It gradually evolved into a belief, and deities resembling crows appeared.

And then.

European colonists came to this land.

It brought death, plague, slaughter, and other religious knowledge.

This led to the gradual pollution of the originally pristine Silent Hill.

It eventually turned into what it is today.

It can be said.

What is the Upside Down like? What are the gods like inside?

It all depends on the hearts of the people living on this land.

God does not exist.

Mysticism and magic do not exist.

But the cult's fanatical faith, combined with the power of Silent Hill, made them a reality.

Only through such a chaotic ritual could the Silent Crow be successfully summoned.

The Silent Raven, a deity born from the cult.

It was fabricated based on the minds of the cult members led by Dalia.

That's why.

The Silent Raven possesses the power of Silent Hill.

This also allowed Xu Wang to obtain the power of Silent Hill.

From this point of view...

Xu Wang really had to thank Dalia for the ceremony.

This is much better than the attribute points Xu Wang wanted before.

After all, there are many ways to obtain attribute points.

But the skill [Silent Spirit].

If the Order hadn't given birth to the Silent Raven, Xu Wang would have had a very hard time obtaining it.

After all, Silent Hill is just a magical land, and it has no independent consciousness.

Given such an existence, it would likely be extremely difficult for Xu Wang to obtain the power of Silent Hill.

But the Silent Crow is different.

This is an independent individual.

Xu Wang was very skilled at finding death in it.

Resurrected again!

Xu Wang stood up from the ground.

Then a huge sun-shaped magic circle appeared overhead.

The wish made during the sacrifice has been fulfilled.

The silent crow, which had originally fled by turning into thick fog, was captured again and appeared in the circle.

"Gah——!"

With a loud caw, the large crow looked down at Xu Wang on the street below.

“Wuwuwu——!!!”

at the same time.

In the town of Hawkins in the Reverse World, a piercing air raid siren suddenly blared!
It was just before nightfall.

A sign that the Otherworld is about to descend.

The sky overhead turned black rapidly!
Numerous red lightning bolts streaked through the dark clouds.

Follow the black sky.

Hawkins on the ground was also rapidly covered with a layer of scarlet rust and blood.

They came from afar like a tsunami.

It spread rapidly and irresistibly across the entire Reverse World.

The Otherworld has truly arrived!
A rustling sound came from the surrounding dark houses.

A large number of monsters formed from the dark side of the inner world of Hawkins' inhabitants of the material world emerged from within.

Without warning.

Ordinary people in the Otherworld simply cannot survive a single night.

Across the street.

A screeching sound of metal scraping against the ground rang out!
Xu Wang looked up.

Then came a tall butcher, wearing a huge metal triangular helmet and dragging a large machete in his hand.

They were walking slowly toward him.

That's Pyramid Head!
