Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 175 The Demon Man Mammon Returns
After a while.

The flesh and blood mixed with flames transformed into a lifelike severed claw, but this severed claw was somewhat incongruous. Its overall color was white, lacking the previous bright red. Eyes and a mouth grew on the palm. The eyes darted around, and as the flesh and blood in the mouth writhed, sharp, white teeth were revealed inside, making it look sinister and terrifying.

"Great Abharam! Your followers offer you a gift!"

Caleb knelt in deep worship, then grabbed the severed wrist that had been cut off from his body. Crimson blood flowed, carving winding paths on the ground before being absorbed into the broken claw.

As it sucked blood, the color of its severed claw slightly returned, and its mouth began to move.

"Gal!"

“My faithful believers, take me away from here, I need to recover better.”

"When I follow the Demon King and achieve great merit, and become a great demon, you will surely enjoy immense wealth!"

Caleb, however, kept his head down and responded in a fervent voice, "Yes! Great Abharam! The believer will take you away now."

A mocking smile flickered across his lowered face.

demon?

wealth?

What I want is eternal health and longevity! No! I also want immense power!
Just like the person who beat you up like this!
But it seems you can't give it to me...

But it doesn't matter, as long as I become a demon, as long as I... become you!

Caleb concealed his expression, reached out and picked up the broken claw, put it in his arms, and climbed upwards.

He knew from the beginning what the devil was, but God didn't respond, not even saving his mother, that poor woman with cancer, which made him disappointed in God.

Since God is dead, why not try the devil?

He didn't want to die in agony before his faith like his mother, so the devil who grants all requests was a good choice.

Now that the demon has fallen from his pedestal, he shall retrieve it himself.

He was going to take a gamble, betting that the demon was extremely weak, so he was going to the church to exchange hands!
When he climbed out, he went straight to the town church.

Behind him, Louis and Carrie floated in the corner, following closely.

"Louis, aren't you going to kill him?"

"No, I want to see what Caleb is up to, and what other tricks Abalam has up his sleeve. After all, the true form of a demon descending into the world is no easy thing."

“Abaram’s arrival was too easy; there might be something wrong with it.”

Louis explained to Carrie.

These were indeed his concerns. As far as he knew, because of God, it was not easy for any demon to descend to the mortal world in its true form. Most of the time, it would only transfer a portion of its power or manifest itself through magic circles and sacrifices.

Moreover, this process is easily interrupted, which is one of the reasons why exorcisms by priests are so simple.

Over the years, according to the clown demon, it has never seen a single being successfully brought to life in its true form.

That's right, Louis learned about the demon's descent from the Clown Demon. There was no other way; the Clown Demon was too weak from being burned with poisonous fire all the time. It only had this one incarnation, and it didn't want to lose it.

Naturally, he could only offer something in exchange for Louis's "tolerance."

Therefore, it can be inferred that there are hidden motives behind the current Abram's arrival.

Furthermore, since Louis was also interested in fishing, he didn't let Carrie conduct a thorough search. Instead, he made a perfunctory inspection and then left.

"Let's go, let's follow them and take a look."

The two used their concealment techniques to follow him.

Abram was indeed too weak to spot Louis at a glance, unlike before.

On the way, Louis saw many townspeople running around in a panic, packing their belongings, and trying to drive away from the town. There was also a group of adults, led by the local sheriff, heading towards the woods.

Obviously, everyone is not blind; such a commotion would have attracted everyone's attention long ago.

Louis didn't care about any of that. He had already called Michael. They weren't far from Calabasas, and given their speed and efficiency, they should be there soon.

As Louis followed Caleb, his expression grew increasingly surprised.

Because this guy actually came to the church!

At this moment, Broken Claw seemed to realize that something was wrong and wanted to say something, but Caleb pushed open the door without hesitation.

Looking at the upright cross, Caleb knelt down.

"Caesar! You!"

Caleb didn't speak. Seeing the severed claw smoking, he knew his plan was correct. He smiled, took out a dagger, and began cutting his left wrist. He even found a saw in the church.

God knows how this thing ended up in a church; maybe we can ask Father Manley.

Crunch... crunch... crunch...

"Ahhhhh!!"

Each cut was a real, deep-seated pain for him, but Caleb wasn't afraid; he was only afraid that his wish wouldn't be fulfilled.

"Caler! Cale!"

"What do you want? I can give you anything!"

“God is just a liar, and you know the devil’s integrity…” Abram’s voice grew louder and more sincere, but Louis, who had already entered the church and was sitting on the bench, just found it funny.

The devil's integrity.

That joke was really bad.

However, this Caleb is a ruthless person. Are all heretics so eccentric?

Louis already knew what he was planning to do.

It's like a demon's claw.

So bold!

Louis didn't stop it. Such spontaneous experiments by the test subjects were too rare to pass up; why should he stop them? Besides, he was also eager to know if grafting demon limbs onto humans was feasible, what the side effects would be, and how much power could be retained.

This topic is so interesting.

puff!
Blood gushed from his wrist. Seeing this, Caleb panicked and quickly picked up the severed claw. Just as he was about to reattach it, he remembered something and poured the holy water that Father Manley had prepared onto it.

Although it's unknown whether Father Manley, that traitor to God, had any effect from the holy water he prayed for, Caleb was clearly trying anything as a last resort.

The next moment, he reattached the severed claw to his wrist, and as expected, the scorching claw began to react with his flesh.

sizzle-

His entire arm was churning!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the church.

Under God's watchful eye, the devil's claws gradually merged with the human's.

Wow!
Caleb roared to the sky, his left eye covered in darkness, looking sinister and eerie. His skin began to turn pale red, and his muscles swelled up one by one. Even his lower body began to grow a second organ.

With each breath, he could feel magic flowing from his claws throughout his body, and the heat of the flames enveloped him.

"Power, this is power! I feel amazing!"

Caleb sighed, then suddenly looked up at the platform. The statue of God was so annoying at that moment, making his body feel like it was being pricked with needles.

call! !

A fireball shot out and exploded, destroying the head of the statue of God.

As the statue crumbled, the pricking sensation finally began to subside, and Caleb smiled. "Next... wait? Abalam, you... you actually did that?"

His face showed confusion and surprise.

"However, I don't need you anymore, so you can take over your task!"

"I will take your place and become the Great Demon! Hahahaha!"

Laughing wildly, Caleb walked toward the door.

But as he walked, he stopped.

At the doorway, Louis and Carrie stared at him expressionlessly.

!!!

Caleb's body stiffened.

Every brain cell was warning him: Get out! Run for your life!

Having just watched the war, Caleb knew very well that he was utterly powerless against these two.

why?
Didn't you leave?

I had only just gained power when you appeared?
Gumbling—

"Please let me go."

He forced a smile. In that instant, the demon's rage faded from his mind, and humanity's pragmatism regained its footing.

"Of course, as long as you behave."

Louis said with a smile.

Caleb nodded repeatedly.

……

After a while.

In the church, Caleb spoke of the messages and knowledge he had received from the soul of Abbaram, while Louis made his judgments.

First of all.

Caleb did succeed, but not entirely. Abalam didn't die; its soul is hidden inside Caleb's body and is most likely spying on him now.

Secondly, there is indeed something wrong with this guy's arrival, as it involves a familiar figure—Mammon.

That's right, it's the guy who made Louis realize that this world has hell, demons, and high-end combat power, and the guy who made Louis feel a sense of life and death crisis for the first time.

Although, at that time, people probably didn't even know who he was.

This incident occurred because Abaram was a demon under Mammon's command. Mammon controlled the most luxurious palace in Hell and, as one of the demon kings, also commanded a demon legion. Abaram was one of the demon servants in Mammon's palace and also served as the deputy commander of a legion.

Over the years, Mammon has been trying to enter the human world, and has sown many powers and projections there, but unfortunately, he has only succeeded a few times.

So it came up with a new idea.

The rich first help the poor to become rich later.

The first to arrive will lead to the next to arrive.

By allowing his demon subordinates to descend in their true forms first, and then having them assist his messengers on Earth, he could complete the summoning ritual more effectively and safely.

Not only that, but it can also prepare in advance by building up a demon army to prepare for its arrival.

Once he arrives, we can immediately form the vanguard legion and begin conquering the world.

Abaram could be considered a confidant, and given its talent for bewitching young girls, it was included in the list of those to descend first.

It took several years to build a small cult in a small town to avoid being discovered by the church. They were even careful about their apparitions until they were incredibly lucky and found the special girl, Nell.

Combined with the souls of the girls sacrificed over the past few years, an enhanced magic circle given by a mysterious person, and Mammon's demonic power.

That's how the passage was opened.

Descending into the present world.
