Black Mist surged.
Li Chen sat on a black throne like a sovereign, looking down at the tentacles spreading out below.
Behind his throne was a closed, dark door.
A blood-red eye on the gate surveyed the surroundings, seemingly curious about the outside world. Its muttering voice still echoed, like a whisper from the abyss. Many Evil Cult still running in the streets knelt down and prayed as if possessed.
It was as if I had seen something terrifying.
The eerie sound was strange, like a mysterious spiritual force. Although no sound was produced, strange murmurs echoed in everyone's mind.
[Come closer to me, like Forbidden entering your heart. Place your hand in mine with confidence. Here, who can Shu trust? Don't betray me. I will lead Shu away from this abyss. I will make Shu bloom into the most beautiful flower from the mud.]
The abyss is never the destination, but the beginning.
[Forbidden Child, I am summoning Shu]
Buzz~
The tentacles below seemed to sense the response and continued to reach towards the Forbidden Door. The fleshy worms crawling on the ground stopped gnawing on the corpse and instead climbed onto the tentacles in an orderly fashion.
The eye of flesh and blood was fixed on the Forbidden Door.
This bizarre scene shocked everyone.
Even Evil Cults are no exception.
"The Forbidden Door... it really was real..."
"The cult leader once prayed to the gods but received no response. Perhaps our Gods are sealed behind a door."
"The guidance of the past, the light will ultimately fall into the abyss!!"
But in Li Chen's eyes, this group of people was undergoing Mutation; their bodies were already unable to withstand the mere sight of the Forbidden Door.
Li Chen opened his arms and murmured, "Go in... all of you go in..."
The first time he unleashed the power of the Forbidden Door, although he paid a price, it also gave him a Forbidden feedback.
These Eerie Monsters simply entered on their own.
He could feel the Forbidden Substance in his body constantly increasing, and his strength and mental power rapidly improving.
This is the Forbidden Door, which devours all Eerie Monsters.
Sealed inside, it feeds back Forbidden Substances and power to him. Although it is much more troublesome than using the King's Power, if it is to deal with hundreds of millions of Eerie Monsters, then the Forbidden Door is undoubtedly the best choice.
Li Chen is even considering whether to break through the barrier directly and absorb a large number of Eerie Monsters.
Only in this way will his strength increase rapidly.
However, the cost was also enormous.
Perhaps due to absorbing too quickly, he has completely fallen into madness. Now that the Forbidden Door has only been opened, he can already feel that some memories in his mind have begun to fade.
The voice of the Eldritch God appeared in Li Chen's mind at night. "Li Chen, give up. Forbidden are immortal."
"But it's not something you can control. I am the only one born from the Forbidden; you are nothing but a tiny reptile."
"Extend your sin-stained hands and release me, I will lead you back to the deepest Forbidden..."
"Shut up." Li Chen's eyes were crystal clear as he coldly snorted, cupping the floating Black Mist in his hands, and said calmly, "Your Eldritch God is just lucky; you devoured a fallen God."
"Forbidden... Ah... Forbidden... Quiet down, everyone..."
"They're all just fools..."
Li Chen closed his eyes slightly.
From the moment his identity was revealed, he had already considered all the consequences. Even the reason he released the Forbidden Door here was because he no longer wanted to be a pawn.
At this moment, he represents his own will.
He had certainly thought about it too.
Having come to this Sinful Pass, why should I be a criminal?
A year ago, he almost died fighting against an Evil Cult, and when he woke up, he was a criminal. How could he not feel resentful?
Now they are being used as pawns again.
Even a dog will bite when cornered.
This time, he was not going to resist as he had before. He had figured it out: since everyone wanted him, Li Chen, to be the sole player, then he would be.
He cast aside all distractions and emotions to do what he wanted to do. He was about to begin, moving forward relentlessly towards a new future, all for the sake of that ideal of freedom.
He didn't want to live on someone else's chessboard; at this moment, he revealed his truest self.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier.
It was night, and the darkness obscured Li Chen's expression as he sat on the throne. He crushed a fleshy worm that had crawled onto his palm, blood seeping from between his fingers. His eyes were devoid of emotion as he murmured...
"Evil Cults, Human Race, gods—after today, a new force will emerge: 'Night Purification.'"
"Zero, release those Eerie Monsters that have entered."
I want to see great chaos.
Zero, who had remained hidden until now, slowly emerged from the shadows of the throne.
"Yes, my My Lord."
His small figure swiftly entered the Forbidden Door, and a series of roars echoed as he did so.
Zero's figure flashed to Li Chen's side.
After Zero's aura entered the Forbidden Door, its power seemed to boil over, and even the surrounding air appeared to be Distortion and polluted.
"My Lord, a total of 10 Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters have been released."
"And there's a tentacle monster we just captured."
"That Eerie Monsters is different; it seems to have been marked and cannot be completely eradicated. I need your intervention, my My Lord."
Li Chen sat on the throne with his eyes slightly lowered, calmly watching the Eerie Monsters that had emerged, all of which stood obediently behind him.
As the guardian of the Forbidden Door.
He could release them or send them back; his absolute suppression was so overwhelming that even these Eerie Monsters the Calamity Realm dared not act rashly.
The tentacle monster wriggled in front of Li Chen.
Although disgusting, Li Chen could sense that the Eerie Monsters in front of him seemed to have a good impression of him.
Li Chen placed his hand on its outstretched, slimy tentacles. Using only the perception inherent in Forbidden Substances, he sensed that five magic arrays had been implanted within the Eerie Monsters's body.
It's probably all done by those Evil Cults to control it.
After controlling the Forbidden Substance within its body, it quickly dissolved those magic arrays.
After the magic circle is cleared.
The tentacle monster began to grow rapidly.
It even crushed many surrounding houses.
Li Chen frowned and said coldly, "Zero, take it back."
"Yes, my My Lord."
The tentacle monster was still a bit dazed when Zero dragged it by one tentacle and threw it into the Forbidden Door.
It wasn't that Li Chen didn't want it to come out.
Moreover, it's too big.
Looking at the eleven Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters, including Zero, Li Chen slowly stood up and calmly looked at the Seven Sins who were fighting not far away.
"Evil is never meant to bring about new life."
"Since we're all fighting to the death for power and money, let us all sink into the abyss."
P. S.: The hero who slays the dragon becomes the dragon himself.
