Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 172 Summoning the Demon: Hallelujah
That was where the girl conceived life; beneath her fair and smooth skin were faint black lines. As Father Manley stroked her, goosebumps rose on the girl's skin.

Neil watched in horror, but for some reason, it was as if fate had seized her by the throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

What frightened her most was that there seemed to be something moving inside her body!
She could feel some kind of force forcibly entering her body, like the feeling of a splinter stuck in her flesh when she was a child, and she couldn't pull it out—that foreign object feeling, awkwardness, and pain.

Ultimately, all of this sensation converged in my lower abdomen.

She couldn't help but open her mouth, her eyes widening.

Seeing this, Father Manley knew the time had come. His aged hand gripped the dagger, precisely aimed at the lower abdomen, and plunged it in, just like a skilled doctor, expressionless, only focused and professional.

The cold blade sliced ​​through the skin, swift and decisive, like slaughtering cattle or sheep.

Be mindful of your actions, avoid difficult areas, and be careful around blood vessels and intestines.

When they cut it open, Father Manley finally smiled as he looked at the unformed fetus inside, which was only an outline.

He threw away the dagger, and with trembling hands reached inside, dug the fetus out alive.

"Hahahaha!"

At that moment, a certain power began to flow rapidly from Nell's body toward the fetus, and the summoning circle on the ground began to emit a faint light.

If it weren't daytime, the scene would be absolutely terrifying.

He then threw the flesh and blood in his hands into the roaring campfire.

boom! !

In an instant, the flames shot out as if fueled by gasoline, vaguely outlining a grotesque face in the air: a pointed chin, huge eyes, curved goat horns, and a mouthful of sharp teeth, with a scarlet tongue licking its lips.

"Oh oh oh oh..."

A group of believers cheered at that moment.

The demon Abaram has officially arrived!
"Now, offer human sacrifices!"

Father Manley shouted.

Several young men immediately brought over a man who was also a priest, judging from his clothes.

puff!

The priest's blood soaked the magic circle, and the ferocious face of the flames above laughed loudly, gradually solidifying into a fiery demon face that greedily stared at Nell.

Suddenly, it looked toward the corner and opened its mouth wide.

boom! !

The forest suddenly burst into flames, which spread rapidly.

But the next second, all the flames went out, as if the air had been sucked out.

pop... pop... pop...

There was applause.

At that moment, all the believers stopped talking and looked in their direction.

Louis, who was hiding in the forest and observing the summoning, said to Carrie beside him, "Well, it seems that the art of concealment still can't be hidden from the demon after its true form has descended."

Carrie nodded and asked, "Louis, should we take it down?"

“Of course, that’s not all. We can kill everyone here,” Louis said with a smile.

“Okay.” Carrie understood.

"Human, what do you want to do?"

Abalaam spoke, these two people were the two powerful individuals it had just sensed.

One has the scent of a god, the other the scent of a witch; neither are easy targets to mess with.

“Abalam, do you still remember the prophecy you made? Don’t you recognize me?” Louis said, his magic secretly circulating, and surging flames quickly gathered, falling from the sky like raindrops, igniting the land.

These flames may be nothing to supernatural beings, but they are a divine punishment for mortals. A single drop of fire rain can ignite a person. The flames burn clothes and ignite the body through the skin's oils. Finally, the body's oils are used to create moving torches!
This is Louis's new application of fire magic. Although fire dragons are cool for showing off, the temperature is too dispersed, and he is not using any kind of Samadhi Fire. Therefore, the method of concentrating the flames may be more practical.

Seeing Louis make a move, Abalam roared and quickly solidified from his flame form into a physical entity.

It is fiery red all over, tall and ferocious, with a long tail, and most importantly, it has two rotating genital organs, which are very distinctive.

No wonder he's called a lewd demon; it certainly makes sense.

It completely disregarded these acts of slaughtering its own followers, thinking, "Hehehe, so it was you. I originally planned to wait until the present world to go and find you, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourselves to my door."

It grinned menacingly at Louis, and a terrifying, invisible force swiftly surged towards him.

hum! !

The Myriad Illusions Robe rippled slightly. As the ground around Louis collapsed, Louis remained standing still, with only his hair swaying slightly.

Beside him, Carrie's face contorted with rage, and an equally terrifying, invisible force pressed down on Abalam.

boom!
The immense pressure pressed down on Abalam, causing the three-meter-tall creature to lower its head and its scaly thighs to dig deep into the ground.

Even so, it did not suffer any real damage.

Abalaam glanced at Carrie warily. It realized that of the two, the witch was the most powerful, and if possible, she could probably restrain it.

No, I have to deal with her first.

I need to regain more power.

"@#%..."

It began chanting a spell, its red skin shining even brighter. Louis and Carrie exchanged a glance and nodded.

In an instant.

An invisible force of thought tore the earth apart. Two terrifying forces tried to forcibly bind Abalam, and they did manage to do so. Under Carrie's powerful psychic force, the surrounding soil began to solidify and turn into stone.

The invisible mental force seemed to transform into two large hands, trying to forcibly gather it in their palms and compress it into a flat, round shape.

Louis then unleashed the Blood River Pearl, which, enhanced by his magic, struck Abaram at incredible speed, bang bang bang!

Each impact was like an iron ball hitting steel, leaving dents. In the blink of an eye, Abalaam's body was covered in pits and cracks, with blood like magma seeping out from within.

Even so, it continued chanting the incantation, while those who were still alive began to rush towards it desperately, their faces contorted with madness, and they pulled out daggers to commit suicide.

The soul of someone who commits suicide carries a sense of sacrifice.

For demons, the sacrificed souls are not just food, but also a source of power.

Especially for a true demon like Abaram, who came from hell to the mortal world, if he wants to regain more power, he must use his soul to open a breach.

Unfortunately, these believers were not innocent young girls. To it, they were like moldy food—edible, but not very tasty, and they provided relatively little power.

But it's okay, almost there, almost there, let's sacrifice a few more!
Its power had already climbed from 50% to 70% in just over ten seconds, but the next second...

Whoosh whoosh—

A series of bullet-like roars rang out all around, accompanied by a continuous machine gun-like sound.

As the Blood River Pearl attacked it, it also killed the believers who kept approaching it, wanting to offer themselves as sacrifices.

This was homicide, not suicide, so the act of sacrifice could not have been accomplished!
Such a soul, once devoured, cannot be breached to reclaim more power!

"court death!"

It abruptly stopped chanting, its blood-red eyes fixed on Louis.

"Roar!!"

A strange roar that was neither human nor beast.

ka ka ka-

A silent tearing sound rang out as Carrie's psychic power was forcibly ripped apart!
This is the power of a demon when it descends into the mortal realm in its true form.

brush!
Disappeared instantly.

When they reappeared, they were already beside Louis.

The sharp claws, combined with powerful magic, faintly produced a violent crackling sound.

All of Louis's amulets exploded at that moment, and the intense golden light, like a flash, illuminated the entire sky.

……

In the woods.

Cotton was trembling all over, and the photographer and sound recordist behind him were speechless.

The scene before them completely overturned their worldview. What was this? A war between gods and demons?
"My God—"

The photographer couldn't help but kneel down; at that moment, he seemed to have become a devout believer in God.

The reason is simple: if demons exist, then God must also be real and true. So, as weak and powerless humans, what can we do but pray to God in the face of such a terrifying existence as demons?

The guy recording the audio next to him wasn't much better off; his legs twitched and he collapsed to the ground. But unlike the cameraman, his gaze remained fixed on Louis. If that was the devil, then who was this man?

Father Cotton, standing at the very front, stared blankly at the scene. Demons exist, and so does God.

So all these years of blasphemy against God... blasphemy against those patients...

Did I really cure some of those patients? Did I delay their lives? Was I... too arrogant?
At that moment, Cotton felt genuinely ashamed.

In this emotional state, when he saw the girl who seemed to still be alive on the stone platform protected by the demon, he made a resolute decision.

He took out the crucifix.

He straightened his priest's robe.

His eyes shone with courage.

Humans are never short of the courage to make sacrifices; they just need a tiny reason.

Cotton was undoubtedly that kind of person; he was willing to save others and make amends for his mistakes, even at the cost of his life.

“You should leave quickly. If possible, go to the Vatican. I heard they’ve opened an exorcism academy there. I hope you can embark on a completely new path in the future,” Cotton said, turning to the two guys who were taking photos and recording audio.

"And what about you, Cotton!"

“Me? I’m going to atone for my sins.” Cotton took a deep breath.

Subsequently.

Holding the cross high and chanting the words of the Bible, he stepped into the earth-shattering battlefield without hesitation. The flames burned his body, but they could not stop his advance.

At that moment, he truly became a priest.

"Demon! The Lord commands you to get out of here!"

"Hallelujah!"
