Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 262 The Horn of the Covenant: A New Legacy
Louis's eyes flickered.

Without saying anything, I continued to watch them perform.

a long time.

"...The specific person chosen to bring Mammon down is Mammon's secret; no one knows. We simply accept the invitation when it arrives and then protect it."

After listening to the two demons' accounts, Louis had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

However, some things are still unclear, especially the reason for Mammon's descent. Was it simply to rule the world and break free from Lucifer's control?

It doesn't seem so innocent.

Also.

As they recounted their stories, Louis felt that Mammon's arrival here was also like a movie—"Hellblazer"?
He hadn't watched that movie closely, but it was frequently seen on short video platforms, even having many memes and titles, such as "anti-smoking blockbuster" and "Keanu Reeves's god-like face".

So I know a little bit about its contents, but it doesn't match up.

In that story, Mammon appears to be Lucifer's son.
Moreover, Hellblade is strictly speaking an adaptation of Constantine comics, which belong to DC Comics.

Louis's face immediately scrunched up.

DC and such belong to the superhero universe, which is a complete mess of chaos and poorly made animation. If it were really DC, then it would be a disaster...

Fortunately, based on his explorations over the years, he has not found cities like Gotham or Metropolis in America, nor has he found any female superheroes from World War II. It seems that DC does not exist.

So, is Mammon the Departed the same as the movie Hellblazer?
Louis planned to arrange for someone to investigate a man named Constantine to confirm this.

At this moment, Louis was still deep in thought.

The two demons inadvertently exchanged a glance.

They fell silent as if by unspoken agreement.

Louis glanced at it suddenly, and then, *crack!*

A thread burning with golden flames pierced through Valak's body, wrapping around him in thin loops, cutting into various parts of his body, which were scorched by the flames.

The threads tightened more and more, and the protruding parts were cut off piece by piece out of thin air. But since it no longer had flesh and blood, every piece of "flesh" that fell off was its remnant soul.

One cut... one cut...

It resembles an ancient form of punishment called Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts).

Golden flames seeped into the black mist soul through the wound, burning weakly but persistently, tormenting it bit by bit.

As Louis subdued more and more evil spirits, demons, and monsters, he developed his own set of methods for torturing and interrogating them, and surprisingly, they were quite effective.

Valak was in great pain. It felt as if a high concentration of holy light from an angel was being poured directly into its body—no, much more intense!

Malthus, standing next to him, obediently lowered his head.

He then presented a black and yellow horn with both hands.

"Sir, this is my boss, one of the favorite instruments of the Demon God Beret. It is usually kept by his orchestra. Because my last mission failed, he bestowed this horn upon me."

Louis's gaze remained fixed on the horn, and he did not rashly accept it.

Malthus hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Although it is just a musical instrument, it is very powerful. Playing it can arouse people's desires, control life, and most importantly, it can store the user's power and release it when necessary."

"The reason I was able to summon the projection of the Demon God Beret before was because of it."

"But there's a barrier to its use, because the material used to make it is a demon's horn, so the user must be a demon, otherwise..."

Having heard this, Louis basically understood the purpose of the horn and did not wait any longer.

The power of the Yang God swept over.

hum! !

As if stimulated by something, the horn emitted a lot of black mist, which was a strong evil magic. Although it was not much, the concentration was not small.

On the surface of the horn, a cluster of golden flames is burning.

The power of the Yang God, mixed with fire-attribute magic, is a flame that is particularly effective against evil souls, including evil magic.

Strangely enough, the sun had no effect on them, but at this moment Louis's Yang God power combined with fire magic was able to restrain them.

Louis didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from making greater use of it.

At this moment, the golden flames and the black magic were locked in a fierce battle. The black magic was of considerable strength, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Unfortunately, Louis had already reached the Yang God Realm, and this was no longer his home ground; he was merely an artifact.

Boom!
A deep, muffled heartbeat sounded.

Louis's heart began to erupt. His evolved heart, connected to his blood vessels, greedily absorbed a large amount of magical power, then transformed it into red fire-attribute magical power, which connected with the Yang God and was fiercely injected into him!

Boom!

The cluster of golden flames exploded, instantly engulfing the entire horn.

Crackling! Crackling! Crackling—

Like hot oil poured with cold water, the magic exploded.

Whoosh!
A yellow horn, as thick as an arm, flew out of the explosion and landed in Louis's hand.

The yellow horn is shaped like a scimitar and is spiral-shaped. It is empty inside, but when you look down, it is as dark as an abyss and you can't see the bottom.

Louis refined the horn with the fire of the Yang God, removing the power and influence left by Beretta, leaving only the basic material.

Some of its abilities were rendered unusable, leaving only the core's stored power and some sonic damage.

However, the material is of good quality, and Louis plans to study it carefully when he has some free time and refine it into a magical artifact.

He casually put it into his spatial ring.

Louis looked at Malthus again.

He said with a half-smile, "What did you just say? Otherwise what?"

Malthus remained silent.

Finished!

My own value has been greatly reduced!
Shaking his head, Louis retracted the flame threads.

At this moment, Valak was reduced to a fist-sized wisp of thin black mist, unable even to maintain his phantom form.

As Louis gazed at the two demonic phantoms, his eyes gradually turned greedy.

Now, the real harvest time has arrived!

!!!

Malthus retreated in terror; as a demon, he was all too familiar with that look.

It yearns to inflict cruelty upon happy families, to devour souls...

And in Hell, it saw that kind of gaze almost every day—devil looking at lesser demons, greater demons looking at other demons…

food!

So, he wants to... eat the demon?

how can that be!

He's a priest!
How could he eat a demon!
This is wrong! This is wrong!

Suddenly, a pool of water appeared beneath Malthus, and the weeping woman, who had been dissolved within its body, was released at this moment. As the water surged, the weeping woman's tall body seemed to be able to protect it.

Louis frowned upon seeing this.

Waved.

Whoosh!! The weeping woman was instantly swallowed up. Malthus, who was desperately trying to enter the water, discovered that the surrounding space was sealed off. The weeping woman's innate ability could not break through space, and she could not escape!
"Trying to block me with an evil spirit that isn't even at the demon level? Looks like you're really out of options."

"No! Sir! Master! I can help you understand Hell. Didn't you want to know how to enter Hell? The information I gave you last time was incomplete. Rushing in would only get you discovered by other demons. I know a safe place..."

Louis ignored its nonsense, opened his mouth, and a black hole-like vortex appeared.

The remnant soul of Varak, already on the verge of death, was the first to be swept up, followed by Malthus, who screamed as he was pulled in. In his dying moments, he finally changed his tune.

"Louis! I curse you! I curse you!"

"You ruined Valak and the Demon God Beret's plans, you're dead!"

"You'll definitely go to hell! I'll be waiting for you there! Waiting for you!!"

The shrieking sound stopped abruptly, and everything entered Louis's mouth, then disappeared into the vortex between his eyebrows.

Soul Search! Demon Refining! Activate!

……

After a while.

Louis opened his eyes after having finished reading through their memory books in his mind.

As expected, just as he thought, the Soul Searching Technique was far too imperfect. The higher the level of the target, the less complete the memories could be found. The memories he found in the two Books of Memories were incomplete, with many fragments, especially Valak's, which was incomplete beyond recognition.

There were some memories that could be glimpsed, but they seemed to involve some secrets. Once Louis tried to get close, he felt as if he was about to communicate with the real Valak.

This reminded him of a saying: When you peer into the abyss, the abyss also peers into you.

The Demon God level clearly already has that qualification.

Therefore, just in case, Louis chose to destroy that hidden memory, which resulted in Valac having even fewer memories left.

no way.

The other party's essence is superior to Louis's, even if it's just an incarnation, it's still different.

"Fortunately, it has been confirmed that what they said about Mammon is not too different; Mammon really wants to descend to the mortal world in his true form."

"Isn't it afraid of clashing with God?"

In the memories of the two demons, Louis also received information that he had always been curious about.

The constraints God placed on hell.

That was probably a hundred years ago, during the last Dark Ages, after Van Helsing destroyed Dracula, God performed a miracle and placed restrictions on Hell.

Of course, the demons in hell embellished the story to some extent, claiming that the seven demon kings, led by Lucifer, negotiated with God and established a set of rules.

Hell and Heaven cannot actively interfere with the present world.

We need to wage a "proxy war".

Therefore, God left behind power in the world to prevent evil from descending.

But clearly, the demons weren't so obedient.

A century later, the demons have found many loopholes and are even gradually undermining God's power.

"Making rules with God?"

Louis's expression was somewhat strange. The contents of the Book of Memories were not embellished; they contained the truth.

The truth is that on the night Dracula died, a white light descended from the sky, and the legendary archangel Gabriel rushed into Hell, only to be repelled. This rule came about after that.

Whether God appeared or not is not recorded in their memories.

"As expected, Hell is weaker than Heaven. Do the Seven Demon Kings and God even deserve to set the rules?"

"However, this so-called fig leaf-like rule seems a bit like the sacred covenant in Hellblazer?"

"Constantine, oh Constantine..."

At this moment, Louis regretted not watching the movie more carefully in his previous life. He had heard that there were magical artifacts in it, and that Lucifer even appeared at the end.

If you've seen it before, you can at least have some reference now.

Louis shook his head, calming himself.

The slightest hint of anxiety or uncertainty was eliminated.

Now that we know Mammon is coming, we'll just deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Let the church and heaven handle it.

Just be steady and do your own thing well.

Especially the ascension ceremony that followed soon after!

That is the most important thing.

"I wonder how Emma and the others are doing with the node thing."

He muttered something to himself.

Louis focused his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness, and a book radiating golden light flew out at that moment, moving on its own without any wind, its pages turning.

This is the real gain.

When dealing with demons, Louis always kills two birds with one stone; besides subduing the demons, he also gets a benefit from it.

Strictly speaking, we resolved the problem by relying on external forces in this great battle, but the Civil Code doesn't care about that. Even if someone is killed by guns and cannons, that's your skill.

This time, I only dealt with three monsters: the Vampire Viscount, Valak, and Malthus—two demons and one vampire. The number was small, but the quality was high.

Aside from the vampire viscount, who was just there to make up the numbers, one was a great demon and the other a demon god. Although both were incarnations, they were the strongest enemies Louis had ever dealt with.

Moreover, he had broken through to the Yang God Realm.

The inheritance provided by this Civil Code should be quite good.

Louis and others were filled with anticipation.

The pages turned for a while, then finally stopped.

Four gold pages were revealed.

The legacy given by the vampire viscount is: witchcraft - a comprehensive explanation of the twelve schools of black magic.

The legacy given by the great demon Malthus is: the Five Elements Gathering Method.

The inheritance given by the demon god Valak is: the general outline of the Thirty-Six Directions Star Array.

Finally, there was the inheritance he received from breaking through to the Yangshen Realm—establishing a teaching altar.

"Witchcraft, magic, formations, altar opening."

"Sure enough, apart from that vampire viscount, none of them are bad."

Louis looked over eagerly.

First is witchcraft—a comprehensive explanation of the twelve schools of black magic.

The practice of "Jiangtou" (a type of black magic) is actually a form of sorcery and unorthodox magic that spread from coastal areas to Southeast Asia. It was eventually localized by combining with local Southeast Asian sorcery and evil spirits.

Its nature is sinister, vicious, cruel, and bloodthirsty. It can be said that this is a technique that is almost on the path of evil and demonic arts. While it is powerful and quick to learn, it also has the common flaws of this type of technique.

Often, the cruelty and flaws of this technique lead to the practitioner suffering a backlash.

In Southeast Asia, due to the social atmosphere and instability, this kind of magic is widespread, so much so that sorcerers have all sorts of mysterious and powerful rumors about them, which makes the locals very wary and even fearful.

Even in modern times, thanks to various films, it has spread throughout the world.

It has quite a reputation.
