Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

The words struck Lin Chen like a drawn knife, piercing his heart and filling him with dread!

"Amber, you're trying to resurrect a divine being!

If the Holy Grail is completed, I'll have to face a fully formed god?

Is this a battle a mere apprentice Card Master like me can handle?"

As if seeing through Lin Chen's shock, Amber explained:

"You're overthinking it. How could the great God of Wine be resurrected by the blood of mere low-level Card Masters?

What I'm resurrecting is just a fragment of the God of Wine's 'Divine Spark'."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what a Divine Spark was, it certainly wasn't the complete form of the God of Wine.

He didn't need to be so scared anymore. Why did Amber make him jump through hoops like that!

Lin Chen continued to probe, "The Holy Grail has such a miraculous function?"

Amber replied, "Do you remember the story you told me about the God of Wine and his lover?

When the God of Wine turned his deceased lover into a grapevine, it was his unwillingness to let her go, a preparation to resurrect her.

Behind that story lies a resurrection ritual:

Brewing human flesh and blood into wine to achieve 'resurrection'.

This is the unique 'Blood Brewing Ritual' of the Cult of the God of Wine, and the instrument required is this Holy Grail of flesh and blood."

The Cult of the God of Wine actually possessed a 'rebirth' ritual!

That's right, Lin Chen recalled:

The God of Wine was the god of harvest, representing the endless vitality and reproduction of plants, which in a sense is rebirth!

Furthermore, the God of Wine himself was a god of rebirth. There were various legends about the God of Wine's rebirth in ancient Greece:

The most famous version tells of how the God of Wine was killed out of jealousy by the queen Hera shortly after his birth, and Zeus then hid the God of Wine in his own thigh to gestate and be reborn.

It wasn't strange that the God of Wine controlled the 'rebirth' authority.

So, this was Amber's ultimate goal in orchestrating all of this!

Lin Chen had found out all he needed to know.

It was time to give Amber a reply.

But Lin Chen chuckled, "Mr. Amber, you've revealed such a confidential matter to me. You're truly forthright."

Amber replied, "I told you, there's nothing I can't show you."

Lin Chen: "Now that I know so many secrets, it seems I have no choice but to join you...

Otherwise, you won't let me leave alive, will you?"

Amber smiled and remained silent, implicitly agreeing.

Lin Chen: "One last question. If I join, what about Chen Xiao Diao? How will she be dealt with?"

Amber said, "This child's temperament is very suitable for becoming one of the Maenads.

But the sacrifices are limited, and I can't wait for the next opportunity. She is destined to be the sacrificial lamb this time."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was still a little hesitant, wondering if your Cult of the God of Wine was a true cult.

But since you're going to harm her, I have no reason to let you off the hook!"

Seeing Lin Chen's resolute protective stance, Amber sighed regretfully, "Mr. Lin, I have shown you enough goodwill.

There's an old saying in Huaxia, 'You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.'

If you refuse to drink the fine wine with us, I can only take back the cup."

The surrounding Maenads slowly began to approach Lin Chen.

The previously peaceful and joyful atmosphere gradually turned into impulsiveness and madness...

Just as the Maenads were about to swarm him and tear him apart;

Lin Chen suddenly laughed, "By the way, who told you that Card Masters are necessarily bad at combat?"

The author, along with Amber, requests votes and continued readership!

Amber: "Or perhaps, like me, you are someone cherished by the readers; They personally delivered these monthly votes to you, protecting you from contamination and harm."

The next chapter will officially begin the fight! Please look forward to the subsequent twists and turns of the battle! So remember to keep reading~

Thanks to: You Tian Da Yi for 1 monthly vote, Zhi Rong for 1 monthly vote, Jiu Shi Guang for 1 monthly vote!

Chapter 32: My God is Stronger Than Yours!

"Who told you that Card Masters are necessarily bad at combat?"

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, the Maenads, frenzied followers of the God of Wine, lunged forward!

A flash of green light appeared, and a saber swung in a wide arc, sweeping all the Maenads away!

Wu Song had entered the fray.

Amber raised an eyebrow slightly. "A green card, I underestimated you."

Lin Chen remained silent, merely playing the part of the weak to defeat the strong.

Wu Song, meanwhile, faced five Maenads alone.

He stepped forward in unison, charging at one of the Maenads, instantly grabbing her wrist.

Wu Song's grip was strong, and the Maenad couldn't break free. Wu Song lifted her by the waist with his other hand and threw her towards the wine barrels!

Several wine barrels shattered, and the strong aroma of wine instantly billowed out.

The other Maenads, with their sharp teeth and claws, all rushed forward to hunt Wu Song!

Wu Song took a step back, breaking free from their encirclement, creating a staggered formation among the Maenads.

Then, relying on his height and long reach, his hand moved swiftly. He lifted the foremost Maenad with one hand and threw her into the wine barrels as well, smashing her inside.

He dodged the lunging grabs of the Maenads behind him.

With a punch and a kick, he knocked down two more Maenads.

The first two Maenads, stuck in the muddy wine barrels, struggled to get up.

Only one remained. Wu Song grabbed her by her hair bun, crushing the evergreen crown the Maenad wore.

As if in provocation, he dragged her by the hair to Amber's side, throwing her down in a daze.

In just a few rounds, all of them were subdued!

Wu Song's life story wasn't just about fighting tough men, but also fierce women!

He had once caused chaos at Kuaihuo Lin, and now he was disrupting the God of Wine's feast!

Amber frowned, her Holy Grail in hand now replaced by a God of Wine Staff adorned with a giant pinecone.

He was going to act personally!

Amber swung the staff at Wu Song. "Crimson Embrace!"

The blood-red wine scattered on the ground gradually converged, forming a massive vortex of wine that surged towards Wu Song!

The wine was incredibly viscous; once it touched clothes, it was difficult to break free. Wu Song couldn't evade it and was engulfed by the vortex.

The scarlet, murky wine turned Wu Song into a "blood man."

Despite this, Wu Song, relying on his innate divine strength, forcefully broke free from the wine vortex!

Seeing this, Amber immediately pointed the God of Wine Staff at Wu Song again. "Vine of Harvest."

Several thick grapevines in the vineyard instantly grew to the thickness of a bowl, coiling around Wu Song like tentacles!

Wu Song, having just escaped the wine vortex, was greatly slowed. He was immediately bound by several Vines of Harvest.

He could only struggle and resist, locked in a tug-of-war with the increasingly thick vines.

The situation was not optimistic!

After all, Wu Song was currently just a green card. Facing Amber's successive powerful magical attacks, he was helpless.

Amber chanted softly, and a mist of wine sprinkled on the defeated Maenads, restoring their vitality and causing them to stand up again.

The Maenads surrounded Wu Song and Lin Chen, beginning to dance and sing in circles.

They were chanting the sacrificial incantations for the God of Wine festival, and the Maenads were commencing the Blood Brewing Ritual!

They intended to use Lin Chen and Wu Song as blood sacrifices!

At this moment, Amber spoke again. "This is my final act of mercy, Lin Chen. Join our great cause!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth. "From the moment you decided to sacrifice Chen Xiao Diao, it became impossible!"

Amber tried to persuade him earnestly. "You only see the sacrifice, not the bestowal.

I bestow the greatest joy upon every person who is sacrificed!

We are not a cult that sacrifices without restraint or conscience.

The Cult of the God of Wine is extremely cautious in its selection of offerings, choosing only joyless individuals."

Lin Chen, hearing the unfamiliar academic term, couldn't help but ask:

"What do you mean by 'joyless individuals'?"

Amber replied, "They are like you and Chen Xiao Diao – reclusive, aloof, ignored by others, and filled with resentment in their hearts.

I've investigated all of your backgrounds:

Chen Xiao Diao is an orphan; she lacks love and attention, so she can only be blindly passionate, igniting herself for warmth.

And you, Lin Chen, are reclusive, taciturn, stay at home, have no social life or entertainment, and are only engrossed in card making, correct?"
