Lin Chen refused to believe in evil. He almost wanted to pour all the incense offerings from the entire Door God Temple onto this creature and see whether it could burn it to death!
But before Lin Chen could act, the Evil God's Progeny dropped heavily to its knees. The hundreds of mouths covering its body began shrieking in unison, emitting ear-piercing bleats like lambs;
A hundred mouths cried as one, ten thousand sheep wailed!
Lin Chen furrowed his brow. Was it begging for mercy?
But Amber, who was being pinned down nearby, suddenly went pale!
He hurriedly shouted, "A lamb kneels to suckle! It's calling for its mother!"
Lin Chen turned and asked, "What do you mean? You can understand it?"
Amber had no time to explain further. "You still don't get it!? It's calling for the Mother Goddess—the Black Goat that nurtures ten thousand descendants!
"If that Mother Goddess notices us, we'll all die!
"Hurry and find a way to stop it! I'm not joking with you!"
Even Amber, his enemy, was urging Lin Chen to deal with the Black Goat cub at once. His words were clearly no empty warning.
Lin Chen had personally experienced what it felt like to face a god;
Even just a wisp of the Door God's aura had nearly crushed the breath from his lungs at the time.
If the Black Goat Mother Goddess, one of the three Outer Gods, really shifted her gaze here, they would indeed be "looked" to death like ants.
But the problem was—
Lin Chen was utterly helpless against the Black Goat cub right now!
He simply couldn't kill this lump of rotten flesh!
The Evil God's cub's shriek spread like a plague, twisting and mutating all the flesh around it!
Rotting, growing wildly, mutating!
Even the overripe grapes nearby began sprouting grotesque flesh;
The scattered chunks of Black Goat cub flesh that had been cut off writhed and developed, turning in the blink of an eye into lumps of flesh covered in goat hooves and tentacles!
And Chen Xiao Diao, who had been deeply contaminated by the Black Goat cub, also moaned in agony as she began to mutate;
Black tentacles drilled from her arms, her eyes suddenly sprang open, and her pupils changed into the elongated rectangular yellow eyes of a goat!
Everything was being catalyzed into flesh and bizarre corruption!
It seemed that something truly dreadful was about to descend!
Amber suddenly shouted, "I have a way!"
Lin Chen cried urgently, "Tell me! What way!?"
Amber raised his voice as well. "You have to release me first!"
"This..."
Lin Chen looked at the priest who had become his prisoner, filled with hesitation.
Release him?
After going through untold hardship to capture him, was he really supposed to simply take this one-sided claim at face value;
Was he really going to set this evil cult leader, who had nearly gotten him killed, free?!
Amber's urging trembled with anxiety. "There's no time! Unless you want all of us to be turned into a lump of rotten flesh!"
Lin Chen sighed. He had no choice but to release the restraints binding the evil cult priest.
Amber didn't waste even a second. He immediately brought out the Blood-Meat Holy Grail and rapidly chanted a secret incantation!
Lin Chen had nearly heard this secret incantation enough to grow calluses on his ears today. It was the Blood Sacrifice Ritual!
What was this madman trying to do?!
Was Amber planning a final counterattack before dying? Was he going to sacrifice Lin Chen and the others?
But that was impossible too. If Amber was targeting him or Chen Xiao Diao, Lin Chen could interrupt him at any time!
Then the only sacrifice on the field left was...
The Black Goat cub!
Amber was going to sacrifice it!
Of course. Only a god could harm a god;
Use flesh to sacrifice flesh, and a divine artifact to annihilate a mythical creature!
Through a flesh sacrifice, he could dissolve the "flesh" authority and completely kill the Black Goat cub!
Amber had actually thought of this. As expected of a genius of the secret cult!
As Amber chanted, the Black Goat cub's enormous body gradually melted away like an iceberg at night;
Little by little, it condensed into flesh and gathered inside the Blood-Meat Holy Grail.
The Black Goat cub let out its final wail before completely collapsing into pieces.
At the same time, the bizarre pressure weighing on everyone vanished, and the Mother Goddess's attention no longer seemed to be drawn here.
They had finally escaped a catastrophe that would have destroyed them all.
But this also fulfilled Amber's ultimate goal!
The Grail trembled without end. The scarlet wine within it boiled, overflowing uncontrollably as though it had drunk itself completely full!
After all, it was the progeny of an Evil God, inheriting portions of the "flesh" and "breeding" authorities. To the Blood-Meat Holy Grail, it was the purest blood-wine offering.
Compared to the essence blood Amber had collected from low-level card creators earlier, its purity was on an entirely different level!
The blood-wine refined from it exceeded the Holy Grail's capacity limit and kept splashing outward.
Amber burst into wild laughter!
"Hahahahaha!!"
The evil cult priest's laughter was like a frenzied symphony, as though an actor who had been onstage for ages had finally reached the climactic curtain call!
"I still did it! Just as I foretold—
"Where the gazes of the gods converge...
"Birth is sacrifice, and the feast is the finale!"
Lin Chen remembered that when he had first seen the Black Goat's Egg, Amber had muttered these lines in a mystifying manner.
At the time, Lin Chen had been so shaken by the Evil God's Progeny that he hadn't paid close attention to Amber's actions.
He hadn't expected him to be making a prophecy!
That was right. Divination, prophecy, and divine oracles were all things Greek priests performed before making major decisions.
And now, every line was coming true!
"Where the gazes of the gods converge" referred to this place attracting the attention of the Door God and the Black Goat Mother Goddess;
"Birth is sacrifice" referred to the newly born Black Goat cub, which had not only been sacrificed once by the spirit rat, but had ultimately been completely sacrificed by Amber;
So Amber had clearly guessed long ago that the Black Goat cub's final fate would be to become the sacrificial offering for summoning the God of Wine!
Had he been secretly pushing things along step by step, allowing events to follow the path of the prophecy?
No wonder Amber had always sent the Black Goat cub charging ahead to bear the brunt of the Door God's fiercest attacks;
He himself had fought a guerrilla battle from the outer perimeter. It was only thanks to Lu Zhishen's Mad Zen Wrathful Thoughts that Amber had revealed a sliver of an opening.
Then how was "the feast is the finale" supposed to be understood?
Amber declared confidently, "Of course, the resurrection feast of the God of Wine Godhead will be the finale of this whole affair!"
The Holy Grail continued overflowing, spilling pure blood-wine like a fountain of flesh and blood.
Amber was preparing to summon the God of Wine Godhead!
At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly understood the card information he had seen on the Blood-Meat Holy Grail—
Resurrection Ritual - Drunken Rebirth: Once the Holy Grail overflows, it can have a living being whose spirit has not yet dissipated drink the blood-wine and revive; it can also sacrifice all the blood-wine within the cup to revive the "God of Wine Godhead."
The blood-wine of the Holy Grail wasn't only usable to revive the "God of Wine Godhead." It could also revive a living being after they drank it! It had healing properties!
He scooped up the deeply mutated Chen Xiao Diao and had Qin Qiong throw him out like a Throwing Mace!
Straight toward the Holy Grail!
Lin Chen intended to use the blood-wine overflowing from the Holy Grail to heal and revive Chen Xiao Diao!
Amber was busy activating Resurrection Ritual - Drunken Rebirth and had no way to stop him at this moment.
The scarlet divine wine spilling outward dripped into Chen Xiao Diao's mouth, and the effect was immediate!
Like flesh being reforged, it erased the mutated tentacles and goat-hoof keratin covering her body;
Flesh had to be used to eliminate flesh!
Lin Chen had learned this when Amber sacrificed the Black Goat cub, and he had immediately put it into practice!
The flush gradually returned to Chen Xiao Diao's face.
It worked. He had saved her!
Lin Chen almost wanted to thank the God of Wine!
All of Lin Chen's efforts that night had been to save Chen Xiao Diao. A person of painstaking devotion would not ultimately be let down.
Relieved but still wanting to guard against the unexpected, Lin Chen decided to check her once more;
He carefully pried open Chen Xiao Diao's pupils, and what he saw was—
Still a pair of bizarre, dark-yellow goat eyes.
The author has arrived bearing the Holy Grail to ask for votes and follows!
The Holy Grail trembled without end. The scarlet monthly votes within it boiled, overflowing uncontrollably as though it had drunk itself completely full!
After all, they were the readers' monthly votes, inheriting portions of the "traffic" and "ranking" authorities. To this book, they were the purest blood-wine offering.
This chapter's extra update was to thank the readers for their monthly votes and rewards from earlier.
