Lin Chen, however, refused to believe it. He wished he could pour all the incense offerings from the entire Door God Temple onto this cub to see if it would burn away its divinity!
But before Lin Chen could make a move, the spawn of the Evil God knelt heavily. Hundreds of mouths on its body began to scream simultaneously, emitting piercing bleating cries like a lamb's.
A hundred mouths cried as one, ten thousand sheep wailed!
Lin Chen frowned. Was it begging for mercy?
But Amber, who was being held down nearby, changed color drastically!
She quickly blurted out, "The lamb kneels to its mother, it's calling for its mother!"
Lin Chen turned and asked, "What do you mean? You can understand it?"
Amber didn't have time for a detailed explanation. "Don't you understand yet?! It's calling for the Mother Goddess, the Forest's Black Goat who has birthed countless descendants! If that Mother Goddess notices us, we'll all die! Quickly find a way to stop it! I'm not kidding!"
Even Amber, an adversary, urged Lin Chen to deal with the Black Goat cub quickly, so her words were undoubtedly true.
Lin Chen had personally experienced what it was like to face a deity. Even just a wisp of the Door God's aura had almost crushed him. If the Black Goat Mother Goddess, one of the three Outer Gods, were to cast her gaze upon them, they would truly be "looked" to death like ants.
But the problem was—
Lin Chen was completely helpless against the Black Goat cub! He couldn't kill this pile of rotten flesh!
The Evil God cub's shrieks spread like a plague, causing the flesh and blood around it to twist and distort! Rotting, growing wildly, mutating! The ripe grapes nearby began to sprout deformed flesh and blood; the dismembered pieces of the Black Goat cub scattered on the ground twitched and developed, transforming into lumps of flesh with hooves and tentacles in the blink of an eye!
Chen Xiao Diao, deeply infected by the Black Goat cub's pollution, also groaned in pain and began to mutate; black tentacles sprouted from her arm, her eyes suddenly opened, and her pupils turned into the rectangular yellow eyes of a goat!
Everything was being catalyzed into flesh and eerie pollution! It seemed something truly formidable was about to descend!
Amber suddenly shouted, "I have a way!"
Lin Chen urgently asked, "Quick, tell me, what way!?"
Amber also raised her voice, "You have to let me go first!"
"This..."
Lin Chen looked at the priest who had become his captive with great hesitation. Let him go? After all the trouble he went through to capture him, would he simply believe his words and let this cult leader, who had almost killed him, regain his freedom?!
Amber's urging was tinged with a tense tremor. "There's no time left! Unless you want us all to turn into a pile of rotten flesh!"
Lin Chen sighed and reluctantly released the cult priest's restraints.
Amber didn't waste a second. She immediately brought out the Blood-Meat Holy Grail and quickly recited an incantation! Lin Chen had heard this incantation so many times today that his ears felt calloused; it was the Blood Sacrifice Ritual!
What was this lunatic trying to do?! Was Amber planning a final counterattack before dying, sacrificing Lin Chen and the others? But that was impossible. If Amber were targeting him or Chen Xiao Diao, Lin Chen could interrupt her at any time!
Then, the only offering left on the field was... the Black Goat cub! Amber intended to sacrifice it! That was right, only a god could harm a god; using flesh to sacrifice flesh, using a divine artifact to annihilate a mythical creature! Through the blood sacrifice, she could dissolve the authority of "flesh" and completely destroy the Black Goat cub! Amber could think of this, truly a genius of the secret cults!
As Amber chanted, the Black Goat cub's massive body began to melt like an iceberg at night; it condensed bit by bit into flesh and blood, gathering into the Blood-Meat Holy Grail. The Black Goat cub let out a final cry, and then it completely disintegrated.
At the same time, the eerie pressure on everyone dissipated, and the Mother Goddess's attention was no longer drawn to this place.
They had finally avoided utter destruction.
But this also fulfilled Amber's ultimate goal!
The Holy Grail trembled incessantly, the scarlet liquor within it as if boiling, overflowing uncontrollably as if it had drunk too much!
After all, it was a child of an Evil God, inheriting part of the authority of "Flesh and Blood" and "Breeding." For the Blood-Meat Holy Grail, it was the most refined sacrificial wine.
Its purity was far beyond the vital blood of the low-level Card Masters Amber had collected before!
This caused the refined blood wine to exceed the Holy Grail's capacity, constantly spilling out.
Amber was laughing wildly!
"Hahahahahaha!!"
The cult priest's laughter was like a frenzied symphony, as if a long-performing actor had finally reached the crescendo of their finale!
"I still managed to do it! Just as I prophesied—
Where the gazes of the gods converge...
Birth is sacrifice, the feast is the end!"
Lin Chen remembered that when he first saw the Black Goat's Egg, Amber had rambled these words.
At the time, Lin Chen was so shocked by the child of the Evil God that he hadn't paid close attention to Amber's actions.
He hadn't expected it to be a prophecy!
That's right, divination and prophecy were things Greek priests did before making major decisions.
And now, every sentence was coming true!
"Where the gazes of the gods converge" referred to this place attracting the attention of the Door Gods and the Black Goat Mother Goddess;
"Birth is sacrifice" meant that the newly born Black Goat cub was not only sacrificed by the spirit rat but was ultimately sacrificed entirely by Amber;
So Amber had clearly guessed long ago that the Black Goat cub's final fate would be to become the sacrifice for his summoning of the God of Wine!
Was he secretly pushing events step by step, guiding them in the direction of the prophecy?
No wonder Amber always made the Black Goat cub charge forward, taking the brunt of the Door Gods' fierce attacks;
He himself had been engaging in hit-and-run tactics from the periphery, and it was only thanks to Lu Zhishen's Mad Zen Wrathful Thoughts that Amber had shown a slight opening.
Then how should "the feast is the end" be understood?
Amber confidently declared, "Of course, the end will be the resurrection feast of the God of Wine's Godhead!"
The Holy Grail continued to overflow, spilling pure blood wine like a fountain of flesh and blood.
Amber was preparing to summon the Godhead of the God of Wine!
At this moment, Lin Chen recalled the card information he had seen for the Blood-Meat Holy Grail—
[Resurrection Ritual: Drunken Rebirth] When the Holy Grail overflows, it can resurrect a being whose spirit has not yet dissipated by having them drink the blood wine; it can also sacrifice all the blood wine in the cup to resurrect the "God of Wine Godhead."
The Holy Grail's blood wine could not only be used to resurrect the God of Wine Godhead but could also resurrect a being by having them drink it! It had healing effects!
He scooped up the heavily mutated Chen Xiao Diao and had Qin Qiong throw him like a hidden weapon!
He flew straight towards the Holy Grail!
Lin Chen intended to use the overflowing blood wine from the Holy Grail to heal and resurrect Chen Xiao Diao!
Amber, too eager to activate the Resurrection Ritual: Drunken Rebirth, couldn't stop him at this moment.
The overflowing blood-red divine liquor dripped into Chen Xiao Diao's mouth, and the effect was immediate!
It eliminated the mutated tentacles and the keratinous horns on her body as if reshaping flesh and blood;
It had to be flesh and blood eliminating flesh and blood!
This was something Lin Chen had learned when Amber sacrificed the Black Goat cub, and he immediately put it to use!
Chen Xiao Diao's face gradually regained its color.
It worked, she was saved!
Lin Chen even felt like thanking the God of Wine!
Lin Chen's efforts all night were for the sake of saving Chen Xiao Diao; a determined heart is never in vain.
While feeling fortunate, Lin Chen decided to check again, just in case;
He carefully pried open Chen Xiao Diao's pupils, and what he saw—
were still a pair of eerie, dark yellow goat eyes.
The author, with the Holy Grail, seeks votes and continued reading!
The Holy Grail trembled incessantly, the scarlet monthly tickets within it as if boiling, overflowing uncontrollably as if it had drunk too much!
After all, it was the readers' monthly tickets, inheriting part of the authority of "Traffic" and "Ranking." For this book, it was the most refined sacrificial wine.
This extra chapter is to thank readers for their monthly tickets and rewards.
