Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 340 The Level of Sacred Relics, The Discussion of the Demons, and the Unpredictable Fate of a Person

That’s too much!!!
Valak's eyes blazed with fury. "Roar!"

With a terrifying roar, Valak revealed his true form, a monstrous two-headed hellish dragon radiating oppressive power within the hall, attempting to vent his fury.

but……

Among the demons present, the weakest were all major demons, and the vast majority were fallen angels who were too familiar with Valak to be afraid of Him.

This act, which was tantamount to a tacit admission, only made the demons sitting with Him laugh even louder.

Valak's face was grim. None of the demons were inferior to him, and the two above him were even more powerful than him. They mocked him wantonly, and he really couldn't do anything about it.

but!

"Have you forgotten why you came here today? If it's just to make fun of something as trivial as me, then go ahead, I should go back."

Having said that, Valak flapped his wings and prepared to leave.

At this time.

"Ahem, okay, everyone quiet down."

Finally, Baal, who was at the head of the table, spoke, his ugly frog-like face turning serious. "We have important business to attend to today. Valak is our brother, and we need to unite."

Astaroth, standing nearby, smiled without saying a word.

When Baal spoke, the demons finally stopped laughing.

"Valak, come back. You don't want your enemy to live so freely in the mortal world, do you?"

Valak snorted and obediently flew back to his seat. He hadn't wanted to leave in the first place; he was just using this as a warning to them to stop.

Once Vallak returned to his seat, the banquet officially began.

There's a reason why the fallen angels are meeting here; their main purpose is to help Mammon descend to earth.

Yes, all the fallen angels present, as well as the two Supreme Pillars, were supporters of Mammon, or rather, supporters of the coming of Mammon.

Normally, they are all trying to project themselves into the mortal world or collect resources in hell to assist Mammon in his descent.

The reason they are gathered here now is because of Baal's call to action.

"The reason we've gathered everyone here is because of the arrival of the Demon King of Greed. The most important part of the process is finally showing promise."

"A holy artifact suspected of containing holy blood has appeared," Baal, with his frog-like face, said in his hoarse voice.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire palace became lively, and all the fallen angels' expressions changed drastically, becoming excited, thrilled, and happy.

"Great! It hasn't been long, and Mammon's plan is about to succeed."

"With the power of the Demon King descending, the mortal world will surely be wiped out! That's fantastic!"

"Yes, that person is wrong. Humanity's evil cannot be eradicated. Only a great purge can teach humanity what reverence is. Since the originally planned Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are not moving and the Book of Revelation is not being opened, then we will do it ourselves. At that time, we can also reappear in the world."

"Hurry up, I haven't seen the real sun for almost a thousand years."

"Holy Blood Artifact, which one is it? The lowest-level holy artifact is impossible; those are just mortals who have been inspired by Him, without true holy blood. So, this holy artifact with holy blood is at least a prophetic artifact? That's truly..."

"..."

The demons and great demons were all discussing the matter, and their demands were roughly the same: to cleanse the world, prove themselves, and see the light again.

"Cough cough!" Baal coughed twice more.

Two minutes passed before the room quieted down again, and everyone stared intently at Baal.

Baal's lips curled up slightly; this was exactly what He wanted.

Regardless of whether Mammon succeeds or not, he will command a powerful army of fallen angels. However, he must be wary of Astaroth...

Of all the demons present, only Astaroth could rival Him for the leadership position.

Fortunately, this guy is very similar to the Sloth Demon Lord Belial. He is usually very lazy and has not shown any desire to compete for His position, so we can rest assured for now.

"This message was delivered by Count Dracula, a vampire in the mortal world, through the vengeful spirit of King Mammon's servant."

"Located at the border of two human kingdoms in the present world, there is a small town. Beneath the church in that town, there exists such a holy relic. Because of the origin of vampires, Dracula's intuition is unlikely to be wrong. It is at least a prophetic holy relic, and there is even a chance that it is a holy relic of God."

At this point, Baal's gaze swept majestically over the demons.

No one understands what this means better than they, as fallen angels.

The holy artifacts are merely remnants of mortals inspired by God, condensations of that person's power. One can only say that the holy artifacts are powerful, but they could never contain the blood of God. At most, they are only at the level of a great demon.

Just like the Eye of Saint Lucia, if it weren't for its special nature and its unique connection with Valac, which helps Valac restore his angelic power, Valac would normally not be afraid of ordinary saint artifacts.

The prophetic artifacts are different. They are historical figures who received God's calling and were granted the right to interpret scriptures and a mission. They are the founders and influential figures of various factions of the Church of God, such as Prophet Mu, Prophet Moses, Apostle Paul, King Solomon, and so on.

Some of them obtained the power of God, and the power of their relics was equivalent to that of a demon god or even a pseudo-demon king in the mortal world.

Some of these relics are even said to be stained with the blood of God.

As for the final sacred artifact of God, it is quite special, as it has the highest probability of being stained with the blood of God.

The Holy Grail containing the blood of Christ, the Shroud of Turin covering the body, the Crown of Thorns on Jesus' head, the Spear of Longinus that pierced Jesus's body, the two nails that pinned his hands, and the True Cross on which Jesus was hung...

These are all sacred artifacts of God stained with the blood of God.

In addition, there is the most important sacred relic, which is also considered the most important sacred relic among God's sacred relic—the Ark of the Covenant, which contains the Ten Commandments.

Most of the artifacts that remain in various museums are replicas, making each one extremely valuable.

And now, beneath that town, there exists a sacred artifact that is at least a prophet's relic!

This must have made the fallen angels feel excited and lucky.

What follows is a question.

"Then why not take Him? Then we can prepare for His coming now."

"Yes, we even know the location, so why haven't we seen the sacred artifact?"

"what happens?"

In response to their questions, Baal smiled and said directly, "Because our ally, Dracula, is a piece of trash."

"It was actually intimidated by the power of a mortal and dared not fight him, so it revealed this information to King Mammon."

These words drew laughter from the demons, whose words turned into insults and contempt for the vampires, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

It seems that gossiping and mocking others behind their backs can indeed liven up the atmosphere.

However, Valak's expression did not change. After all, He had been imprisoned by mortals not long ago, going back and forth like taking an elevator.

At this moment, what Bar said dealt another heavy blow to Valack.

Baal glanced at Valak and said, "Speaking of which, this mortal is rather special."

For some reason, an ominous premonition arose in Valak's heart, especially when he saw Agares watching him, and the ominous feeling reached its peak.

Unfortunately, He could not stop Baal from speaking.

"He was actually the mortal fire god priest who defeated Valak back then."

???

The demons were taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, their attention turned to Varak.

Valak was expressionless at this point. "Look at me however you want. Just wait until we get to the real world, and don't let me catch you in the act, hmph!"

After another burst of mocking laughter.

Baal continued, "Although Dracula is a disgrace to us demons, it must be said that he does have some strength, especially since he is not oppressed by God's rules in the mortal world and is fully capable of being a great demon."

“And that mortal once defeated Valak’s avatar by possessing divine power. So even if we descend with our avatars, as long as we don’t reach the power level of a demon god, it’s still not safe to deal with this mortal,” Baal said shrewdly.

These words angered the demons, who had long held scorn for mortals. They didn't believe that even a common high-level fallen angel could defeat a mortal.

what?
Did this mortal defeat the avatar of Valak?
That only proves that Valak himself is incompetent! He has flaws! Otherwise, why would he be sealed twice by a holy relic?

In an instant, everyone was clamoring to use their own methods to retrieve the sacred object and, incidentally, kill that mortal to "avenge" Valak.

Seeing this, Baal frowned and roared.

Its body suddenly grew larger, and a giant hammer crackling with lightning appeared in its hand. A crown with two conical horns appeared on the ugly frog's head, and its whole body was filled with a majestic and cruel aura.

All of a sudden.

Even those demon gods fell silent.

Even a false demon king is still a demon king. The Supreme Four Pillars represent that they surpass other demon gods. Although they do not have the dimensional advantage of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Kings, they still have an overwhelming advantage in dealing with them.

Demons, while unruly, treacherous, cunning, and despicable, also bully the weak and fear the strong, and fawn over the powerful!
"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Baal turned his gaze to Agares, who looked like a wise old man, not far below him.

Agares maintained a smile and composure throughout. When he saw Baal's gaze fall upon him, he nodded slightly to Baal and then looked at all the demons.

“Imbos and I have seen the future. The incarnations we forcibly projected into the present world at great cost have indeed failed. The projections of the great demons didn’t even make a ripple.”

"Most importantly, the deity worshipped by that mortal is no ordinary being. It is highly likely to be a chief god, and it is very fond of this person. When my and Inbos's precognitions involve this person, we can only see his appearance. His future trajectory and past trajectory are all unclear and very vague."

Having said this, He stopped speaking and looked at Inbos.

Persia nodded, which was considered to corroborate His statement.

This alerted all the demons.

Agares and Inbos are the angels among them who can foresee the past and future. Agares has a wicked personality and likes to play tricks on people by saying things that are half-true or half-false or by posing riddles, but Inbos is not like that.

The presence of Persian corroboration confirms His statement.

But how is this possible?
A mortal...

"Could it be that a supreme god has been resurrected within him?"

"Didn't that person completely eradicate the heretics back then?"

"He couldn't possibly just be an ordinary person..."

"..."

Baal gave them a disdainful look. They didn't even dare to call them God, only "that one." You former angels are really... Heh...

"You've gathered us together, surely not just to deliver this message? What is it you want to do? Can you tell me now?"

Then a wise fallen angel spoke.

Not all fallen angels fell because of desire.

Some of the fallen angels had already realized that Inbos, Agares, and Baal must have communicated with each other beforehand, and that this banquet had an ulterior motive.

Seeing this, Baal decided not to waste any more time.

"Among the countless possibilities of the future, there is a possibility of success. According to Agares and Inbos's speculation, it is highly likely that the sacred object can be taken away without conflict with that mortal through time and space."

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Astaroth beside him.

Astaroth also possesses the ability to see the past and future, and also the ability to travel through space. This space travel is not a simple application such as instantaneous teleportation, but rather the ability to cross the barriers between worlds and break through the barriers of seals. It can be said that apart from God and Lucifer, the leader of the Seven Demon Lords, no one can stop Him. He can go wherever He wants.

Even when He goes to the human world, He can temporarily circumvent God's rules for a moment; that's the value of His power in terms of space!
More than enough to acquire a sacred object.

Facing the gazes of all the demons, Astaroth smiled. "No problem, I can take it. Besides, I've already seen it; it is indeed a sacred artifact of the Blood, the Spear of Longinus that killed Jesus."

Upon hearing Astaroth's words, the demons rejoiced.

Now, with the Holy Blood, Mammon will surely descend to earth, circumventing God's rules and shrouding the entire planet in darkness!
As the demons reveled, the languid Astaroth's eyes remained icy.

He did see a lot, just like the two demons, but likewise, he did not see the mortal's destiny. What does this mean?
This means that this mortal is not a god.

Because the supreme god could not possibly completely stop even Him, the pseudo-demon king. Even the three sisters of fate from the Norse lands could not do such a thing!

So, it's terrifying to think about.

Could it be... God?

Or perhaps... Lucifer?

Or perhaps... Mephisto, the king of the Otherworldly demons?
These three, ranked from highest to lowest in terms of ability, are all capable of completely concealing His existence, making Him unable to see the trajectory of fate.

But, that's not right.

Astaroth couldn't understand it.

He only knew that the mortal, no, the one whose fate was unpredictable, carried a great secret, and it was best not to get too involved.

Therefore, I absolutely must not get involved in what Baal is going to do next.
