From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 18 "Mother"

Bai Yang is certainly not a kind person. The moment he invokes supernatural powers and uses lies, his attributes begin to veer towards chaos.

After all, only a chaotic situation can allow him to gain more power.

However, what he read in Caroline's mind still made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, a church should be a sacred and benevolent place, the source of human faith, and a place where human light resides.

Angus, far away in the town of Vespuchi, handled this very well.

As almost the most authoritative person in that town, he hardly used his power for anything unnecessary, instead using it for the education of the town's youth, town maintenance, and some major holidays.

The church hadn't been renovated in twenty years, and he didn't say he would use his power to direct the renovation.

He had simply saved up some money, thinking that if he could find a young monk to take over the church, he could use the money to do some minor renovations.

This is also why Bai Yang chose Angus as his first extraordinary being.

He perfectly embodies the role of a clergyman, a "monk," a person who is self-disciplined and adheres to propriety.

In the Catholic Church's definition, he is the opposite of the seven deadly sins: fidelity, temperance, generosity, diligence, patience, forbearance, and justice!

But now, what appeared before Bai Yang was a church that was almost entirely filled with all kinds of poisons, which made him somewhat unable to hold back.

The most criticized figure is Ken Burke, the current bishop of the San Diego Garden Church, who has sexually assaulted young boys and girls.

“Your Majesty, you seem very angry. Do you want to let this anger be vented?” Alvin asked.

Bai Yang waved his hand. He was certainly furious. Through the information link of this church, on the higher spiritual link called "information," he found something more.

This is a link accessible only to those with extraordinary abilities, existing within the ubiquitous information throughout the world.

Of course, Bai Yang could express this ability in a more fashionable way, such as—omniscience.

This is also a high-level application of the God of Lies; he deceives himself into knowing this information, and then he really does know it.

From this data, he learned about the bishop's actions.

During his ten years as bishop of the Garden Church, he committed numerous crimes through "baptism," "receiving a baptism," and "exorcising."
And this year, he is still doing this, using "exorcising evil spirits" as a pretext to embezzle funds for an extended period.

These things were an open secret, even within the Garden Church!
He would use the pretext that those people were possessed by "demons" and "evil spirits" to exploit the poor victims.

And those ignorant parents, out of trust in the church, will choose to take them there again and again, only to be hurt time and time again.

“No wonder…the suicide rate among children in this city is so high!” Bai Yang felt nauseous as he watched the bishop in the news shamelessly spouting absurd words like “there are too many evil spirits in the city.”

Suddenly, when he saw a message, his hand trembled violently!
"grass!"

……

San Diego County, Chula Vista Region.

As a place adjacent to the city center, the environment here is relatively good, but it still appears somewhat chaotic.

As a city located right next to Mexico, the issue of illegal immigration is the city's biggest problem.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with the residents of St. John's neighborhood, since it's an affluent area with police patrolling 24 hours a day and all kinds of security facilities.

Therefore, everyone in St. John's neighborhood is clean and tidy, except for a woman named Mona.

She walked down the street with a blank stare, avoided by everyone in the neighborhood, who then pointed and whispered behind her back.

A young girl looked at her curiously, "Is this Mona, the 'crazy woman' from your neighborhood?"

Hearing the girl's words, the boy beside her nodded gently. "Yes, it's her! She wasn't always like this. When I was little, I even played with her daughter, but later... her daughter was possessed by an evil spirit, and I heard that the exorcism failed and she died!"

"She and her husband went to the church to retrieve their daughter's body, but the church thought they were crazy and sent them back."

"Then her husband died, and the woman went insane, surviving on community welfare every day." Hearing this, the girl became even more curious, "Then doesn't your community kick her out? Why do you still give her welfare?"

The boy shrugged. "Who knows? Anyway, my parents said I'm not allowed to say anything bad about her or scold her!"

The girl nodded. "Okay, shall we go to church today?"

“Yes, but not the Garden Church. We’ll go to the church in Los Angeles. Our family always goes to the church in Los Angeles…”

Watching the boy and girl walk away, the woman named "Mona" turned around and revealed a strange and terrifying smile.

"Hehehe... Little Lina... Mommy's here!"

She continued walking forward, stumbling, dazed, and unsteady.

However, when all the adults in the neighborhood looked at her, there was no disgust in their eyes, only pity.

Two elderly women prayed to her, "Lord... how could Mona suffer such torment... Lord, have you truly looked upon us?"

After the two old ladies finished praying, they went home.

Only Bai Yang remained standing on the road, looking at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, can't you bear it?" Alvin said.

“This isn’t called being reluctant, this is called respect!” Bai Yang said. “You should have seen her life story too. This woman is very strong!”

Alvin remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "She truly deserves respect. This woman suffers from dozens of different kinds of pain. She should have died long ago, but she is still alive!"

"Of course she has to live. How can physical pain compare to even a fraction of the torment of the soul?"

"Her daughter died in the church, her husband died because of it, she survived by feigning madness, but now she really has gone mad!"

Bai Yang said, looking at the crazy woman and reading her information, "She's perfect, she can even be matched with some special titles!"

The two men watched the woman walk into their house, saw a goat horn tucked into her bosom, and then opened the basement door of their villa.

In the basement, a pattern drawn in blood, which had even turned black from age, appeared before her eyes.

This thing is clearly a pentagram array!
In Catholic culture, the pentagram is a symbol of evil and a favorite of various demons.

Then, the woman pulled down her sleeve, revealing her wrist covered in black scabs, and without hesitation used the sharp point of her goat horn to pierce the scabs on her wrist!
Blood flowed from her wrist, spreading throughout the area.

She seemed oblivious to the pain, kneeling on the pentagram, her eyes filled with vengeful rage and resentment!
"Lucifer, King of Hell;"
I am here to pray for you:
I would give my life, my soul, and everything I own to take the life of my enemy!
I would give my first breath a hundred years from now, and all the suffering in the abyss, to exchange for it!

Her prayers were actually quite illogical, but she couldn't wait any longer!

She could feel that her life was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Therefore, she chose to sacrifice herself in the final moments of her life.

Her blood quickly drained away, and her withered, emaciated body lay in the basement, awaiting death.

Then, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her, holding a piece of parchment on which her promise and the price were written!
Suddenly, flames burst forth from his palm, burning the parchment to ashes.

Finally, in the woman's nearly deafened ears, a mysterious note rang out: "The contract is established!"

Bai Yang then entered the basement, looked at the woman who had become a corpse, and unhesitatingly poured in a fraction of his divine power.

“Under Lucifer’s contract, after she dies, she will become a vengeful evil spirit!” Bai Yang said slowly.

And as he spoke, the corpse slowly transformed into a semi-transparent entity.

"Your Majesty, does this evil spirit have a name?" Alvin asked curiously, observing Bai Yang's actions.

“Yes, this evil spirit’s name is Mother!” Bai Yang looked up at the sky.
