Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 291 Altars and Rituals

On the outskirts of Backlund, where mountains meet rivers, not far from the site of the royal banquet, the underground has been hollowed out, revealing a magnificent underground plaza.

In the underground plaza, there is a giant altar.

The altar is dark red in color and covered with various intricate and eerie runes. At the very center of the altar is a cluster of sacrificial runes resembling a throne, as if it were supporting a terrifying and inexplicable being.

However, in the center of the altar, a small hole has ruined its perfection.

The pit was very small, as if it had been pierced by something, or as if something had been nailed to the altar.

The pit wasn't empty; instead, there was a mass of dark red blood, which had long since congealed, yet it exuded a kind of world-destroying madness and unbridled power.

"The altar of the 'Blood Emperor' and divine blood..." The demon noble looked at the legendary altar, completely mesmerized. This was a grand plan that the Blood Worship Cult had been plotting for a hundred years, and now it was finally about to succeed.

"Besides the 'Red Angel' of the Solomon Empire, only our Witch Cult could find this altar in the vast spirit world." The Lady of Despair's face showed undisguised arrogance, yet was also unusually holy.

The "Hunter" pathway and the "Witch" pathway are adjacent and have an extraordinary power of convergence. The one with the "Hunter" pathway must have looked down on this altar, so it naturally fell into the hands of the Witch Cult.

"As for this altar, I don't need to tell you how to use it, do I?" Lady Despair glanced at the demon nobleman.

"No need!" the demon nobleman decisively refused.

"Let's get started right away, without any delays."

The demon nobleman snorted and immediately stepped onto the altar.

What use is a destroyed altar?

This is the altar of the "Blood Emperor." According to the oracles received by the Witch Cult and the Blood Worship Cult, although this altar was destroyed by the "Hidden Emperor," it still retains some power or characteristics of the "Blood Emperor" at that time.

That is the "weakness".

When the "Blood Emperor" went mad, he must have had the idea of ​​directly breaking through the seal of the Western Continent, attracting the descent of the source, and perishing together with the "Hidden Emperor" or even other true gods.

However, the "Hidden Emperor" was equally powerful, and actually managed to kill the "Blood Emperor" in a one-on-one situation, thus preventing this disaster.

Since the "weakness" was able to break through the seal of the Western Continent, it must also be able to work on other seals.

For example, the Creator's seal on the abyss.

That seal was reinforced several times, but it still couldn't compare to the seal that isolated the western continent.

With this altar and the "Dark Side of the Universe" within the abyss, it's possible that they could actually tear a hole in that seal.

In just a moment, Fabuti, the "Demon King" and "Dark Side of the Universe" who has been trapped in the abyss for thousands of years, can be freed and return to the real world!

Unable to contain his excitement, the demon nobleman stepped onto the altar and took out various items for the ritual.

The most special one is a drop of divine blood from the demon king Fabti.

It was a drop of pure black divine blood, shimmering with a filthy and corrupt light.

No one knows what price Fabti paid to donate that drop of blood.

After this drop of divine blood appeared, the entire plaza seemed to be shrouded in a dark and filthy atmosphere, as if it were connected to a terrifying abyss, from which terrifying monsters were about to crawl out.

"This is the power of filth..." Lady Despair looked at the shadow beneath her feet with fear, unable to look directly at the drop of divine blood.

After the appearance of the "Abyss" divine blood, the "Blood Emperor" divine blood in the only pit of the altar also shone with blood-red brilliance as if it had been provoked.

The powers of the two deities resonated with each other, and both the Lady of Despair and the Demon Noble knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

The scale of this sacrifice was unimaginable. If the Church of the Night hadn't been so vigilant, it would have been an angel presiding over it, not just these two demigods.

Two forces flickered, but gradually, the drop of black divine blood gained the upper hand, suppressing the brilliance of the crimson divine blood.

After all, the "Demon King" is still alive, while the "Blood Emperor" is dead beyond any doubt.

The blood of the "Blood Emperor" fell back onto the pit, filling the final defect in the altar. Then, this "Abyss" blood fell into the center of the altar that was originally reserved for the "Red Priest," and began to preside over the ceremony.

"Phew!" Both the demon nobleman and the Lady of Despair had survived the ordeal and managed to get away from the altar during this brief respite.

However, the demon nobles continued to guard the place, while Lady Despair left the altar and returned to the room where the "Primal Witch" and the Dream Statue were placed.

After praying to the statue, she came to the crystal ball beneath it.

This crystal ball, now pure black, represents Triss, who has matured.

In this deal between the Blood Cult and the Witch Cult, the Witch Cult provided the Blood Cult with the altar of the "Red Priest," while the Blood Cult gave the Witch Cult an entire pool of blood.

Next, the witch cult will obtain countless vengeful spirits from the demon's sacrifice, mix their blood and souls, and inject them into Triss's body to transform her body and soul, making her the most perfect vessel for divine intervention.

Incidentally, kill a few more princes, nobles, and commoners.

This is a request from the Royal Family of Ruen.

"Original Being, hear my prayer..."

……

After signaling Audrey to report the incident, Klein left the Gray Fog and notified the Aurora Society as quickly as possible.

Mr. A took Beckett with him and set off directly. They seemed to be very wary of Triss's existence, and they would participate in every operation. This time, Mr. A, the person in charge of Backlund, personally came and brought the strongest sealing artifact.

"Let's go over there too!" Klein and the others arrived at the outskirts of Backlund as quickly as possible and saw the huge manor where a royal banquet was being held.

"What should we do? Just barge in?" Beckett frowned. This was a royal banquet, attended by the highest-ranking nobles of Backlund, and their security force might even include demigods!

According to Klein's secret intelligence, there was already a demigod-level enemy here.

"Waiting for someone." Mr. A remained unusually calm, looking up at the area outside the manor, waiting for something.

"It's Kreste Cecima!" At one moment, Klein was spiritually moved and saw the "Goddess Sword" who led the Red Gloves squad. He was also the leader of the Red Gloves in the Church of the Night in Backlund.

This gentleman, Klein, had met him when he was in Tingen.

"It was him?" Mr. A was somewhat surprised, but quickly nodded. "He's actually become a 'Night Watchman'."

"The Night Watchman," the fourth of the Night Path, this "Sword of the Goddess" truly lives up to its name.

One more chapter, it'll be afternoon by then.
