Li Chen surveyed the battlefield.
The opponents of Calamity, Desire, and Zero were almost all crushed and wiped out, while other Evil Cults were nothing more than corpses on the verge of death.
As for whether Cang Yue should stay or not?
In fact, he had already thought of the best way to deal with the sacrifice: to kill them directly.
Then there would be no need for sacrifices.
However, since that God still resides within Cang Yue's body, she still has value to be exploited. The truth is already within reach, perhaps just one step away from being revealed.
As if noticing Li Chen's gaze, Cang Yue swung her slender white legs and smiled at Li Chen. She naturally knew that Li Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to her, after all, the God within her was her current talisman.
As long as she doesn't lose contact with him.
Therefore, he still has value in Li Chen's eyes.
Cang Yue knew that the man in front of her wouldn't care about past relationships and would discard items without hesitation if they had no value.
With a "bang".
An Evil Cult, his limbs severed, crashed into the ground beneath Li Chen's throne from a distance. He stared at Li Chen in utter terror, trembling as he cried, "Don't kill me! I was forced!"
"It was all ordered by the cult leader; we are all victims!!"
"My Lord of Fate, spare me! Spare me!"
Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. This Evil Cult was one of the people who fought the Bone Man. Why would he...? Before he could think any further, a white figure rushed over and stomped on the Evil Cult's face, making a sound like a watermelon bursting.
"Oh? You're bloodthirsty, killing fellow members of Evil Cult."
"Are you planning to defect to the enemy?"
That's right, the one who killed the person who was desperately pleading with the Evil Cult was Blood Charm.
The Soul Flame in his Blood Charm eyes burned ever brighter, as if it were about to burst forth and consume everything in its path. He slowly plunged the bone knife into the ground and said, "I... just want to survive in this chaotic world and make the right choice, which is to join you."
"I'm just a nobody, striving and persevering just to survive."
"I have no powerful background, Evil Cults are my final destination, but I fear death... and you, my Child of Destiny, are my final resting place."
Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and a tangible aura of pressure emanated from his body. He was not unable to accept the person's allegiance.
After all, the people under his command all need to undergo Forbidden baptism; he needs more Eerie Monsters with rationality like the Calamity.
The person in front of you is an excellent candidate.
As for the fear that he might betray other Evil Cults like this, he has plenty of ways to kill him.
Blood Charm was equally decisive, immediately kneeling on one knee with her sword in hand, and whispered, "Thank you My Lord, for sparing my life."
He knew he had made the right bet. Li Chen wouldn't see a Calamity Realm expert willing to surrender leave, because he had also observed those strange beings and judged them almost instantly.
One was once Lust, the other was Pride.
These two were previously allies of their God-Slaying Cult.
Now he's actually joined this person's ranks.
He knew that he would die if he failed, but if he succeeded, there was still a glimmer of hope, at least he wouldn't die meaninglessly like other Evil Cults.
I have only one goal.
That means survival!
Meanwhile, the situation on the other side of the battlefield was changing almost instantaneously.
Zero dealt with the Ghost Infant by simply using a small amount of his own blood, which was infused with Forbidden Substances —polluted, Distortion, and so potent that even Eerie Monsters would react to it as if it were poison.
Moreover, this was merely an inanimate object created by the human in front of us using his abilities; a simple Distortion was enough to completely reduce it to a pile of rotten flesh.
Zero's tentacles grabbed the Evil Cult from behind, their gazes filled with ill intent.
He was the slowest among the group in the fight.
If you embarrass him, none of them will have an easy time.
With a "whoosh" sound.
The Evil Cult members emitted cries of infants, trying to break free of their restraints.
But Zero wouldn't let him get away with it.
With a single open mouth, her tongue, like a sharp sword, instantly severed the Evil Cult's limbs and swallowed them whole.
Zero's little face immediately scrunched up, and she coughed lightly.
"Pooh!"
"Disgusting... a deathly aura!"
"It tastes even worse than those Eerie Monsters!"
Zero's appetite was once that of one of the Six Evil Gods; who knows how many people he's devoured? He has a unique perspective on humans; to hear him say they don't taste good is like hearing someone else's nine-turn intestines...
The Evil Cult ceased its struggle, its empty eyes fixed on Zero, then turning to the figure seated on the throne in the distance, murmuring, "You all deserve to die!"
"The Lord Cult Leader will not let you get away with this!"
"They are all nourishment for my God!"
Zero snorted coldly and moved his tentacle.
He fell to the ground as a pile of minced meat, and Zero quickly left the area to find other prey. My Lord had said not to leave a single one alive.
Only the dead can stand here.
Moreover, that guy Zai's bloodlust is much faster than his. He doesn't want to be blamed by our My Lord, nor does he want Zai to receive praise.
If his thoughts were known to the disaster, he would likely only be met with ridicule, since who would want to compete with Zero for something so childish?
Yu, on the other hand, would drag a large sword and hack and slash at anyone he saw.
Of the eight Evil Cult from the Calamity Realm, almost all have now perished. Apart from Blood Charm, who wisely surrendered to the enemy, the others were not so lucky.
The entire Rose Garden is now truly a river of blood.
Li Chen merely watched everything indifferently. Even the Special Affairs Bureau wouldn't be so Evil Cult towards a cult, which shows just how cold-hearted Li Chen is right now.
The scattered Evil Cults made Li Chen feel as if insects were fleeing.
He, however, was the one in control of everything.
This feeling finally made him understand why those who are strong all like to wield power and strength.
"I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
Li Chen slowly stood up, looking up at the sky. The pressure emanating from his body grew heavier and the feeling became stronger. Ever since he opened the Forbidden Door, his strength had begun to surge.
We've finally reached the bottleneck; we're just one step away.
He could only sense an invisible consciousness constantly hovering above his head, observing him.
God? Or a human?
Well... eventually, we had to take this step.
Li Chen stomped his foot on the air in front of him, and the dome of the surrounding Rose Garden shattered instantly, raining down crystal-clear glass.
And in the void before him, a pitch-black staircase began to appear.
Li Chen paused for a second, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, but still resolutely walked up the stairs. The dark steps appeared before everyone's eyes, like a God-Ascending Stairway.
The world fell silent at that moment.
Disaster, Desire, and Zero also turned their gazes toward their My Lord, a surge of fervor washing over them.
Li Chen stared intently at the ascending staircase before him, as if he saw his former self, as if he saw the figure of Li Chen, and many other familiar figures, all of which vanished in an instant...
