Then, that afternoon, Aurelia issued two more orders. One was that if anyone wanted to leave the City of Desire, she would not stop them, but they would be permanently forbidden from entering the city again.

The other passage indicates that the situation in the City of Desire is not optimistic, but she will do her best to solve the problem and will remain in the city.

With two orders issued, the chaos in the City of Desire was quickly quelled; the speed of the swift action was astonishing.

Ryan is already considering getting Aurelia a position in the Witch Society when he gets back. A, K, and Q are all available, but there will be vacancies later. A top- Eighth Tier Supernatural Being is qualified to fill the position.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Inside the city.

In the garden.

Ryan, who was enjoying his tea, turned to look at Aurelia had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Is everything settled?" he asked with a smile.

"That's about enough. There are still some weaklings clinging to life, but they can't cause any trouble. Let's proceed with the ritual first. Once the power of desire descends, all lies and conspiracies will naturally crumble," Aurelia said calmly.

Ryan countered, "What if it doesn't come?"

Aurelia was silent for a moment, then said, "If it doesn't descend, I will merge my soul and power into this city. With my current level, I should be able to stabilize the power of the Scepter of the Bizarre and restore the barrier."

"In that case, wouldn't you be stuck inside the scepter for the rest of your life?"

Aurelia remained silent in response to Ryan's question.

This woman is truly courageous.

Ryan is really growing to like Aurelia more and more.

Yes, it's purely for appreciation, nothing more.

"Let's go then."

After drinking a cup of tea, Ryan stood up and followed Aurelia back into the barrier inside the garden.

This barrier leads to the core of the City of Desire, and because of the Scepter of the Bizarre's riot, this place was the first to be affected.

Whoosh!--

A fierce wind whipped up a chaotic, dust-like mass that blotted out the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The closer they got to the place where the scepter was sealed, the more violent the Chaos Power surged. Witnessing this, Ryan finally understood why Aurelia was in such a hurry.

Once the power of the scepter is fully unleashed, chaos will devour the City of Desire, and its inhabitants will be instantly corrupted into Chaos Demon.

"Arrive."

As Aurelia's voice rang out, Ryan looked into the distance. In the very center of the chaotic storm, there was a huge altar, protected by a barrier that shielded it from the storm's erosion.

However, once inside the barrier, one can sense an even more terrifying chaotic power!

Thick and murky, even the air inside was stifling. Ryan could vaguely hear countless different voices ringing in his ears, trying to affect his mind.

Fortunately, his strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, and with the added benefit of the Desire Necklace, this level of mental influence is almost negligible.

"Are you alright?" Aurelia asked.

Ryan smiled faintly, "It's alright, these things don't affect me."

"Oh?"

Aurelia looked at Ryan with some suspicion.

At the core of this barrier, those below the seventh rank cannot enter at all. Even those at the seventh rank would eventually lose control. How could Ryan be unaffected?

No wonder she was chosen by desire... Aurelia was now even more confident about the success rate of the upcoming ritual.

She was very confident in herself, but she needed to choose a partner. Before Ryan, she had observed other people, but without exception, they were all rejected. It wasn't until Ryan appeared that Aurelia carefully investigated everything about Ryan before finally making this choice.

Therefore, although Ryan was shocked by Aurelia's decision, the latter had actually given it careful consideration long ago.

Aurelia had even prepared everything needed for the ceremony.

She took out the items one by one, drew the ritual array by hand, and prepared ritual items such as candles, essential oils, and symbols of desire, and then placed them in specific positions.

The ritual itself is not complicated; at their level, the core of the prayer lies in whether the gods respond.

Because those at the Eighth Tier are already at the demigod Divine Tier, they travel very far on the path and can integrate their spirit into the path, invoking the gods.

For ordinary Supernatural Being to perform the ritual, they need various sacrificial items and sufficient Magic Power to achieve this 'call'. The two are essentially the same, only the difficulty of achieving them differs.

Of course, the more powerful Supernatural Being, the more attention they receive from the gods, and the greater the likelihood of a response.

While Aurelia was setting up the ritual, Ryan carefully examined the Scepter of the Bizarre.

The scepter was entirely black, radiating a visible Black Mana Magic Power coalesced into lines, resembling countless tentacles gently dancing.

Ryan discovered that the scepter possessed a powerful suction force capable of drawing in the souls of those nearby. If this thing were thrown outside, it would kill countless people.

At this moment, the Scepter of the Bizarre was stuck in a stone slab, which was embedded in the ground and had intricate carvings around it. Its purpose was to guide the power of the scepter to spread, which was enough to maintain the barrier against the erosion of chaos.

However, at this moment, the power of the Scepter of the Bizarre was extremely violent, and it was unknown what was pulling it. Aurelia suspected that this was the work of the Eye of Dawn, and that the group of people who followed the God of Wisdom should have a way to activate the power of this scepter.

"I wonder if this thing will allow me to meet the Lord of the Bizarre... Speaking of which, it seems the Uncanny is already dead? Of the Four Great Outer Gods, those currently confirmed to be alive include the God of War, Doklodus; the God of Desire, Aphrodite; the Spirit of Chaos, Maeve; and the Eye of Dawn Moras. There are rumors of their deaths, but I wonder if they are true."

Ryan wasn't concerned about the lives or deaths of these gods; his main concern was that, according to Janus, his memories were infused with negative emotions, which resided within these Four Great Outer Gods.

If God is dead, what about his memories?

If it drifts into the corresponding path, finding it again will be a real hassle.

"Alright, let's begin."

Aurelia's voice came from behind.

Ryan snapped out of his daze and saw Aurelia standing in the ceremony.

The latter removed her outer garment, revealing only a gossamer-thin nightgown, through which the lining was clearly visible.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, her fair, ivory-like skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, and beneath her swan-like neck, a pair of proud, erect breasts almost seemed to break free from their restraints.

It wasn't very noticeable when he was dressed, but I didn't expect the strength to be so high after he took it off. Ryan estimated it was almost the same as the Grand Duke's.

Her flat stomach was faintly visible beneath her nightgown, and as his gaze moved downwards, to the absolutely sacred area concealed by the skirt, Ryan caught a glimpse of pink... This woman actually likes to wear pink; it's quite different from her appearance.

Feeling Ryan's audacious gaze, Aurelia blushed slightly. Even as a demigod and City Lord of all people, she had virtually no experience in such matters.

"You... stop looking, quickly take out the Pot of Greed."

Aurelia urged.

"Are you sure?" Ryan said with a half-smile. "I suggest we take it slow, start slowly and gradually increase the speed, start weak and gradually increase the intensity, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

These days, with nothing to do, he's been absorbing Sese power in the City of Desire. It has to be said that the name of this place is indeed fitting; the power of the Pot of Greed has been greatly enhanced. If he were to take it out now, Ryan worries that this inexperienced City Lord would be shot and unable to even scream afterward.

But who is Aurelia?

"It's alright, come on."

Fear?

It does not exist.

All she wants now is to perform the ritual as soon as possible, so that the power of the God of Desire can descend.

Ryan did not refuse the invitation.

As the fragrance enveloped him, he could feel the warmth emanating from Aurelia, a soft warmth that pulsed like lightning upon touching her skin, a warmth that stirred his heart.

His palm gently caressed her, the warm touch traveling over every corner of her body, almost every inch. As the last piece of clothing covering Aurelia's body was removed, her bouncy breasts emitted a faint fragrance. Ryan gently held them in his mouth, as if savoring an exquisite delicacy.

Ah~~

Aurelia quickly realized her mistake.

She was so focused on the possibility of the ritual succeeding that she neglected the ritual itself. When Ryan's attack shifted from gentle to forceful, the tearing sensation of the penetration ripped through Aurelia's body. This was tolerable at first, but the subsequent violent impact made Aurelia almost cry out!

Fortunately, although Ryan took out the Pot of Greed, he did not use Magic Power to catalyze it; otherwise, Aurelia would probably have lost interest in the ritual halfway through.

When the clouds and rain had stopped, Aurelia finally came to her senses and hurriedly urged Ryan to use the Pot of Greed.

Without the aid of the Pot of Greed, the level of pleasure is insufficient to attract the attention of desire.

Sizzle~~

While maintaining the ritual posture, Aurelia endured the pain, dripping refined herbal oil onto the candle flame. In an instant, the surrounding air turned pale pink, merging with the Magic Power emanating from the Pot of Greed.

"Quick, Ryan!"

The ceremony had reached its most crucial point, Aurelia could no longer care about anything else. Even though she couldn't take it anymore, she urged Ryan to hurry up, faster! More intensely, even more intensely!

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

If you listen carefully, you can hear in these fierce waves that this is an offensive based on the sacred number 9!

Aurelia gritted her teeth, waiting with pleasure for her desire to take hold.

But as time went by, there was still no sign of the desire arising.

Failed?

A hint of confusion flickered in Aurelia's pink eyes, but then her thoughts were completely overwhelmed by joy as her body reached its peak under the impact of Ryan's Nine Holy Number!

"Ah!!!!!"

Buzz!~~~

At the very same moment.

Time and space seemed to freeze.

The entire ceremony was as if it had been transported to another special space-time.

Ryan seemed to sense something. He was a veteran of many battles, so his body had not yet been fully released. At this moment, his mental focus was highly concentrated, and he keenly perceived the changes around him.

He looked up into the distance and saw that the surrounding chaos had reappeared, as if he were in Chaos Channel.

Soon after, Ryan spotted a familiar door in the distance.

The God of Desire has truly descended!

Chapter 218 The God of Desire and Her Creator Ryan

Desire has arrived!

This feeling was all too familiar, because he had almost lost his life the last time, so Ryan knew it all too well.

"It really worked?"

The ceremony was a success.

Desire arose.

However, this time was different from before. He was absolutely confident that even if the God of Desire wanted to deal with him, he could escape unscathed.

To show that he was still very strong, Ryan even sped up his movements, but he quickly realized that Aurelia was completely still.

Is he dead?

No, it's not cold, it's still hot.

Even Eighth Tier Supernatural Being is powerless against a true god.

Furthermore, because Aurelia is a demigod who has attained enlightenment through desire, she is still unable to resist Aphrodite, even though the latter is sealed away.

Ryan did not draw his Sword of Order to draw it at any moment.

However, as Ryan approached the door, he did not see the silhouette of the God of Desire reflected from within. Instead, he was met with a violent tremor of Chaos Power, like a storm sweeping through, making it almost impossible to open his eyes.

Swish!

A wisp of pink light flew out of the room and towards Ryan, but instead of attacking him, it landed inside the rest of his Aurelia's body.

The next second, Aurelia, who had seemed frozen in place, suddenly had a spark of life in her eyes.

Ryan lowered his gaze, a strange feeling suddenly welling up inside him... Wait, could it be...? This guy is...

"You..."

A smile curved Aurelia's lips, her voice soft and seductive. "Move faster."

Boom!

These three words entered Ryan's mind like a demonic chant, filling him with an irresistible force. Under the influence of the Pot of Greed, Ryan could no longer care about anything else and continued to launch the next round of attacks.

At the same time.
