Unexpected Things Always Came Without Warning
The baby inside Tullatin's womb was still drawing Vitality from the bottomless pit, greedily sucking up the life-giving "milk," yet it seemed never to be filled.
The delivery took much longer than Cheng Shi had anticipated.
He originally thought he should take the initiative to control the timing, ideally so that the freak in Tullatin's belly would be born just a few seconds before the Trials ended.
In this way, when the Trials time runs out, they can settle the score without any risk.
But now it seems he was overthinking it.
He was afraid that the Trials would end soon and the little monster would still be born, so he turned to Zhang Jizu with a stiff expression, hoping that the squinty-eyed man could come up with a solution.
Zhang Jizu was also astonished. He was surprised by the time it took for the child to absorb Vitality, and he was also surprised by the Vitality that Cheng Shi provided.
Such a massive amount of Vitality force has clearly exceeded the comprehension of a single player.
He looked at Cheng Shi's pleading eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly as he said:
"The flesh on the belly is becoming more and more engorged. I'll try using the Scalpel again. If I'm not mistaken, once the Vitality reaches a certain level, this belly should be able to be cut open."
As he spoke, he took out a Scalpel and gently made a cut on his stomach, but the cut was still ineffective.
Its belly felt soft and supple to the touch, yet it was impervious to swords and blades. No matter what method Zhang Jizu used, even burning it with a cotton swab doused in gasoline, it could not be Change in the slightest.
Cheng Shi frowned as he watched this scene, pressing his right hand against his ring.
He wondered if conventional methods were simply ineffective in breaking through the belly's defenses, and only by using more force could the child be delivered.
However, there was still some time before the Trials ended, and he was afraid that if he really blew the child out, other accidents would occur, so he could only wait for a more suitable time.
However, while the two were exhausted from delivering the baby and under immense pressure, they overlooked something very important: the script of history did not revolve solely around them.
While they were still meticulously calculating the exact time of the child's birth, Berios, who had searched the church's underground grounds but still couldn't find the child, became extremely gloomy.
He found only a corpse at the place where the followers of the evil god were housed, and Gou Feng, who was supposed to be there negotiating with the church, was also missing. When this ruler of Dolgo D realized that he might have been tricked, he rushed to the underground lake to check on Golis's condition.
He had assumed that without treatment today, Golis would at most be less energetic than usual, but to his surprise, when he went underground, he found that the usually listless Golis was now...
They've gone mad!
She frantically swung her enormous tentacles, churning the lake water and shaking the ground. She seemed to be under immense stress, her entire body trembling and struggling, as if only in this way could she escape her "pain".
When the leader saw his beloved in this state, he realized he had been tricked. Not only that, but these evil god followers who were searching for fear had even tampered with Golis before leaving!
How dare you!
How dare you mock the Church on the land of Dolgo D! How dare you blaspheme against the "god" who protects Dolgo D!
Golis's pained expression pierced the cult leader's heart and ignited his anger. He slammed his staff heavily on the ground, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
But misfortune never comes singly. Just then, Lisfir, whose complexion was even worse than his, rushed down like a whirlwind. Upon seeing Golis, he shouted with bloodshot eyes:
"The purpose of this pack of wild dogs is not some bullshit fear at all!"
My men told me there was a huge commotion coming from the Brotherhood's stronghold; they were looking for that so-called evil god infant!
"They've tricked us, Berios. You'd better tell me Golis is unharmed, or else..."
"Otherwise what? Foolish!"
The leader's voice was icy cold. The word "stupid" might not have been directed at the bearded man, but it could also have been directed at himself. After all, the decision to make the deal was made by both of them, and he deeply regretted his gullibility in trusting the followers of the evil god.
But regret was useless. These followers of the evil god were clearly different from the petty thieves before. They were audacious and reckless, and actually dared to try to trick the supreme ruler of Dolgo D right under the nose of the Divine Nurturing Church.
Berios is shrewd, but that doesn't mean he can just tolerate things indefinitely.
So, in a fit of rage, he pushed aside the bearded man, gripped his staff tightly, and climbed the church tower once more.
Lisfir guessed his thoughts and became even angrier, saying:
"You actually want to use Golis, and you're willing to let her fall into confusion once more just to satisfy your anger!"
Berios, is this what you mean by loving her?
Stop! I'll go! Let me kill them! I'll take their heads back to the underworld and make them pay for this blasphemy!
Berios gave Lisfir a cold look.
Those who blaspheme against the gods shall be punished by the gods.
They didn't lie to me, they lied to Golis, and they desecrated her expectations and future.
I cannot allow Golis to suffer humiliation and harm, therefore, they must die under the Divine Descent.
I told you, you don't understand Golis, you brute... useless.
As he spoke, Berios ignored the bloodshot-eyed bearded man and raised his staff, striking the Idol of Worship atop the tower. The Idol of Worship, which was stroking its belly, shone brightly once more, and a dazzling sun descended upon the top of the church in Dolgo D at dusk.
As the light grew brighter, Golis, who had been listless in the underground lake, suddenly seemed to be activated by some secret technique. She abruptly raised a tentacle, which shot straight up along the inner wall pipes of the tower, overturning the top of the tower and reappearing in the sight of the people of Dolgo D.
As Berios pointed his staff at the Brotherhood's stronghold, the enormous tentacle continued to grow ever taller before crashing down with a deafening roar, reducing the entire area around the stronghold to dust!
Cheng Shi never expected that Zhang Jizu's contingency plan, while failing to protect the newborn child, would actually protect him from Berios's wrath.
Scorpion, who was hiding near the stronghold, sensed the world-destroying aura immediately. He was shocked and tried to send a message to Cheng Shi, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying giant creature unleashed a howling wind and lightning, grazing his body and shattering everything beneath his feet.
The two, who were still trying to Vitality their child, were already facing imminent disaster when they realized the crisis was imminent.
Because Cheng Shi possessed the Divine Authority "Vitality," he did not die immediately. Instead, he was slammed into the bottom of the ruins by countless sand and gravel, leaving him completely stunned.
Zhang Jizu was instantly turned into a human pancake, but the formation on the scene revived him on the ground. He was swept far away by the Storm caused by the blow, and he endured the strong wind that cut through the sand and stones, rolled twice in the air, and landed steadily. Without wasting a moment, he took out a robe from his personal space to cover his naked body.
As for the third person in this underground cell...
Gao Ya... Yes, the third person is Gao Ya.
Zhang Jizu possessed Gao Ya's body and suppressed her consciousness, but when the two died at the same time, the Magic Formation also revived Gao Ya!
She appeared somewhere outside the ruins with squinty eyes, and as soon as she was resurrected, her face turned pale and her eyes showed fear.
Instead of escaping immediately or being alert to the danger from the outside, she hurriedly looked at her own body to check her condition.
When she realized she was still a woman, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. She then let out a heavy breath, picked up a tattered cloth, and wrapped it around her beautiful body.
She looked around and found no trace of her other teammates. She frowned and pondered for a moment, then took out a rusty thumbtack from her personal space and quietly hammered it into the ground.
After doing all this, she ran outside with a slight frown.
The Trials is about to end. Regardless of whether Cheng Shi wins the Trials, what she needs to do now is to stay away from the center of the conflict, protect herself, and return alive.
She has more important things to do!
Cheng Shi was trapped underground, Zhang Jizu observed steadily, Gao Ya withdrew... The rage from Berios poured down on the players, but did not kill a single one.
But there were far more than just the three of them in those devastated ruins.
There's also... an unborn child!
Tullatin's children!
Just now, Cheng Shi felt that the Trials was about to end, and he could try to use [Thunderclap Judgment] to "disembowel" Tullatin.
But to his surprise, Berios' Divine Descent was faster than he could, and he took over the surgery.
Although the methods differ, they ultimately lead to the same goal.
Under the influence of a tremendous external force, the child, brimming with life Vitality, was finally born!
But it was not born from its mother. Instead, it was born from the fact that its mother's body was turned into dust. The moment its belly separated from its mother's body, it finally escaped the fleshy cage that had trapped it and rushed out.
But just as it stepped into this world, before it even opened its eyes to see reality, the terrifying destructive power of the "Divine Descent" swept it and slammed it into the ground.
The world seemed to greet its arrival with a horrific destruction.
Ironically, even after death, it was her "high and mighty" "father" and her "mother," now a pile of rotten flesh, who destroyed the body of this infant's mother, Tullatin.
The only "person" killed by their rage was the corpse of the dead Tullatin.
