And control the opponent's strongest combat card creator first!
Every step had been carefully arranged, all for the sake of caution and absolute certainty!
But Amber could never have imagined that it would be this final sacrifice!
And that it would be Lin Chen! This nameless nobody who had never revealed a card above green level actually possessed an Epic God Card!
Even in such a desperate dilemma, he had forcibly shattered the Holy Grail!
"Secrets bring success, but a thousand precautions still leave one flaw..."
Amber's crisis could be considered resolved;
Next, Lin Chen could shift his forces and go all-out to rescue Chen Xiao Diao from the Black Goat's Egg.
"You're not allowed to leave!"
Somewhere, Amber suddenly erupted with power and grabbed Lin Chen.
He looked completely crazed. "You destroyed my most important lover, so I'll destroy the person you love too!"
Lover?
Was the God of Wine Amber's lover?
Lin Chen's thoughts were tangled like a ball of hemp. He knew he should be going to rescue Chen Xiao Diao, but his reason had been eroded for too long, leaving him unable to focus his will.
He subconsciously began pondering Amber's words;
That was it! Lin Chen recalled the legend he had told.
To revive his lover, the God of Wine had turned him into a grapevine;
That lover's name seemed to have been Ampelos;
Ampelos, Amber, Ampelo, Amber...
Only then did Lin Chen realize how astonishingly similar that was to Amber's name!
Could Amber be that God of Wine's lover? Or perhaps a descendant of the God of Wine's lover?
Amber, crazed with love, raised the God of Wine Staff and began frantically chanting the secret incantation of the sacrificial hymn;
The mad Maenads Wu Song had beaten down also forcibly stood up and began dancing wildly in unison.
Anyone with eyes could see that Amber was prepared to fight to the bitter end!
Lin Chen came back to himself and realized that he had already wasted too much time on Amber's side;
The Black Goat's Egg began contracting and expanding frequently, as though in labor. This was a sign that it was about to be born!
There was no time left!
Before his reason completely collapsed, Lin Chen had to tear open a path to survival!
Qin Qiong struck Amber's hand with his mace, breaking his grip on Lin Chen. But Amber seemed to feel no pain at all and continued chanting that song of revelry;
The God of Wine's madwomen also ignored their wounded limbs and broken legs, dancing faster and more frantically, even as their legs were already drenched in blood!
At first, Wu Song had used his fists and feet to stop the madwomen's sacrificial dance, but gradually, he too began to grow intoxicated...
The focus slowly left Wu Song's tiger eyes, and his fists drooped...
Qin Qiong struck again with his mace, showing no mercy to the fairer sex, aiming straight for Amber's head;
In an instant, half of his skull was smashed to a pulp!
Amber, left with only half a face, acted as if nothing had happened. With his split lips, he loudly chanted the ritual's final proclamation:
"The feast shall continue forever!"
God of Wine Ritual - Carnival Eternal Night activated!
All living beings within the ritual's range would be forcibly plunged into blissful drunken dreams!
This was the strongest controlling ritual of the Cult of the God of Wine!
Qin Qiong grunted. Divine righteous energy flickered around his body, barely resisting the ritual's intoxicating effect;
But Lin Chen had no Door God's divine resistance and had already begun to be affected...
He had originally been walking toward Chen Xiao Diao, but gradually became so heavy-footed that he could no longer move;
Illusory, grand banquet music also rang in his ears;
Lin Chen desperately argued with himself in his mind, refusing to let himself fall into intoxication:
Damn it! Move, damn you!
I've already won on my side!
Let me get over there! Let me go save Xiao Diao!
The Black Goat's Egg is about to take shape!!
Why am I falling short at this final step?!
I've already given it everything I have!
Can't I still do it!?
Could it be...?
Is Chen Xiao Diao truly destined to die today!?
Countless fragmented memories related to Chen Xiao Diao flashed through Lin Chen's mind—
Every time she affectionately called me Brother Chen;
Every time she woke me up early in the morning;
Every time she chattered around me like a child, discussing cards...
Actually, Amber's analysis had been right. Lin Chen truly was a "person who had lost his joy."
He wanted companionship, social ties, and someone to rely on, yet could never obtain them...
Crossing over wasn't fun at all, especially in this mysterious and uncanny world;
The loneliness of having no family or friends, the insecurity of unfamiliar lands, and the pressure of surviving bizarre dungeons were all there. I simply kept them buried in my heart.
And Chen Xiao Diao was the first friend I made after coming to this world;
She was noisy, not very clever, and even owed me a favor, but she brought a little vitality and companionship to my empty house.
And she always trusted me, never questioning my decisions;
When I told her to come with me, she came...
I was the one who brought her here...
If she died...
It would be because I killed her!
For the first time, Lin Chen felt his own powerlessness. His reason was also being influenced by the carnival ritual, gradually dissipating into intoxication:
I'm too weak...
I'm sorry, Xiao Diao...
Why are my eyelids so heavy?
What am I supposed to do next...
I hear such a lovely song... It's as if I'm in the midst of a grand carnival feast...
The atmosphere is clearly so joyful. Why do I feel so sad?
As if I'm about to lose something incredibly important...
What is it...?
I... can't remember...
Lin Chen closed his eyes and sank into an endless drunken dream of despair.

Chapter 36: The Drunken Monk Furiously Draws Out the Evil God's Fetus!
Under the influence of God of Wine Ritual - Carnival Eternal Night, Lin Chen closed his eyes and sank into an endless drunken dream.
Fortunately, the Black Goat's Egg had also been indiscriminately affected by God of Wine Ritual - Carnival Eternal Night;
The embryo inside the egg seemed to have temporarily fallen into silence, and its contractions were no longer as frequent.
So there was still a chance!
But the strange aura surrounding the Black Goat's Egg had grown dense and was already beginning to seep into Chen Xiao Diao's body...
A brief chance to catch his breath had appeared before him, yet Lin Chen fell into a dead sleep again, with his reason already on the verge of collapse;
Even if he woke up, what could he do?
At this moment, it was still a dead end!
The only difference was that the countdown to death had grown a little longer.
Meanwhile, Amber was doing everything he could to repair the shattered rim of the Holy Grail;
Divine Blood Cast Cup effect: "If the Holy Grail is damaged, it can absorb flesh and blood to reforge the cup."
Amber opened every wine barrel in the entire plantation. Countless streams of crimson wine converged and flowed into the Holy Grail, repairing the missing section;
All these liquids were mixed with flesh and blood from the Black Goat's Egg, making them the most suitable material for reforging the Holy Grail.
