The Great Evil God Sok Fatis

This was truly Shen Sui wronging Alice.

After receiving the intelligence provided by Shen Sui, Alice immediately took Anna and rushed towards Anlud City without stopping.

Anlud City was a small city located by the mountains, not far from the commercial hub, Emerald City. The group arrived near Anlud City in about three days.

Shen Sui quickly scanned Alice's previous messages and found them all very normal. Aside from the routine psychological counseling for Anna in the evenings, Alice's journey was almost like a spring outing for young girls.

After Anna's analysis, Alice also realized that the person who robbed Zelei Castle shouldn't have been Harley.

One must know that Harley was only a five-star magical beast and had not consumed any magical potions. It was impossible for her to disguise herself as Alice and rob Zelei Castle. There must be a hidden reason behind this.

Excellent! Seeing this, Shen Sui nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Alice had grown a lot after the City of Sin incident. At least she would use her brain when doing things.

Then, the next moment...

They encountered a group of knights heading towards Anlud City.

Alice, who had a long-standing feud with the Knights of the Lord of Thunder, immediately recognized the identity of the knight order and decided to launch a surprise attack without hesitation.

And then came the scene Shen Sui had seen before.

Alright, it seemed that the matter of Alice's growth was purely Shen Sui's illusion.

She had grown, at least knowing to fight a prepared battle, and she dared to act because she had Anna, a Tier 13 powerhouse, by her side.

But she didn't seem to have changed much. You, a Tier 3 Mage, went to rob a church knight order. Did you ever consider the consequences?!

[Anna used her power, but she was immediately subjected to the backlash of the Sin Grail. Her sanity began to waver, and the desire for sin surged in her heart. Her body began to emit a sinful aura, stirring the malice of those around her.]

[The Thunder Knights, who had just been attacked, were affected by the power of the Sin Grail. Their desires were amplified, and they began to kill, began to...]

Fuck!

Shen Sui instinctively turned his head away. The words on this Duel Instrument were not something someone like him, who had been nurtured by a harmonious society, could look at.

Is the power of the Sin Grail too strong? Does it forcibly stimulate people's animal instincts even when there are no members of the opposite sex around?

[Alice hugged Anna. Due to the effect of Vivian's Matchbox, Alice was not affected by the power of the Sin Grail.]

[Anna, whose humanity was anchored to Alice, regained a sliver of sanity.]

In this world, power gained through external means is always accompanied by strong side effects.

The Sin Grail was not doing charity; it wouldn't let you advance to Tier 13 for free. However much power it granted you, it would extract ten or even a hundred times more from you.

Previous owners of the Holy Grail would get lost in the immense power, gradually lose themselves, and become the Sin Grail itself. Shen Sui knew that Anna's state might be an opportunity for Alice to grow and pursue higher power.

The guidance of Soul Cards had always been a hot topic of research in academia.

Some focused on psychology, inducing Soul Card actions through suggestion.

Some always believed that a believing heart was true magic and that one should be open and honest with the Soul Card, cooperating sincerely.

[You appeared and explained Anna's condition to Alice.]

[Alice looked at the sleeping Anna and asked you: Is there any way to separate Anna from the Sin Grail.]

[If separated, Anna will become an ordinary person, and you will permanently lose a Tier 13 powerhouse.]

[What I want to save is Anna, not gain a bodyguard.]

Separate the Sin Grail?

Shen Sui recalled the settings in the game from his previous life.

The Sin Grail was one of the Seven Holy Artifacts in Dawn Link. As a collector, he had held and played with it before and had some understanding of its nature. Unbinding the Sin Grail was not a difficult task, of course, that was just for him.

[You told Alice the legend of the Seven Holy Artifacts. If you truly want to find a way to sever the connection between the Sin Grail and Anna, you might need the Athos Holy Sword. As one of the Seven Holy Artifacts, the Athos Holy Sword has the ability to sever all connections in the world.]

The Athos Holy Sword was Baris's weapon.

In the game, Baris used the Athos Holy Sword to backstab Daylight, directly severing the connection between Daylight and His authority. Then, Shen Sui controlled his character and killed Daylight together with Baris. - However, that was in the mid-game. If it were a max-level character in the late game, killing a Daylight wouldn't take much effort.

[The Athos Holy Sword is a family heirloom of the Price Family.]

[Oshana's family? Alice made up her mind and decided to go to Price City after finding Harley.]

Going there is also good. Shen Sui was also curious about Baris's situation and could also look for clues about Vivian. The world consciousness of the Dawn Continent was a pure mascot, just a quest reward giver in his previous life, and not very useful in the real world. It was the kind of naive and cute character who wouldn't even know if the gods stole its authority.

Could it be that the supreme existence of a world is inversely proportional to its power and wisdom?

Shen Sui thought of the blue-haired kanban girl (kanban girl - literally "signboard girl", referring to a character that acts as a guide or interface) in the game and fell into a brief confusion.

Alice's hug successfully brought Anna out of the Holy Grail state. But even with just a few minutes, the Thunder Knights below were already completely wiped out.

Some died in desperate battles with their teammates, and some also died in desperate battles with their teammates. It was just very unsightly.

[Alice felt disgusted and was even more amazed by the horror of the Sin Grail. She silently made up her mind that she must never let Anna know that she was in danger in the future.]

[Even if she died because of it, she would not want to see Anna turn into a devil in the world.]

[Alice opened the treasure chest escorted by the Thunder Knights. Inside was a black crystal and a parchment covered with mysterious symbols.]

[Ding! You have obtained Spell Card: Sok Fatis's Contract]

[Ding! You have obtained Equipment Spell Card: Evil God's Eye]

Evil God's Eye? Shen Sui subconsciously thought this was an item from some hypnosis manga. But then he thought about it, this item seemed to exist in the game.

The Evil God Sok Fatis's Eye, a necessary item for contracting and summoning Sok Fatis.

This wasn't part of the main storyline in the game, but an insignificant branch among thousands, the kind lumped together with toilet-unclogging quests.

However, this didn't mean that Sok Fatis wasn't a big deal. In fact, countless players had wiped against this guy, and it was even suspected at one point that the developers had stitched in Dark Souls elements into the game.

Of course, after players reached max level, this Evil God, as one of the few divine-level bosses that could be repeatedly summoned, was always summoned by those inhuman players to be repeatedly whipped for materials, practically a model worker in the game.

Due to the potential for negative value guidance, to prevent the iron fist of censorship, the developers removed content related to Sok Fatis in a certain update. Along with it, a large number of Evil God branch quests were also removed.

Summoning Sok Fatis required a total of three conditions.

One, possess the Evil God's Eye.

Two, possess Sok Fatis's Contract.

Three, sacrifice the lives of a city.

Shen Sui was also one of those who farmed materials, but he had found a special way in the game to bypass the third condition.

So, what were the Knights of the Lord of Thunder planning by escorting such a sensitive item?

Shen Sui smelled a major event brewing.

And major events were often accompanied by a large harvest of cards.

Alice must be involved!

Shen Sui had come specifically to farm cards, so how could he miss this opportunity? This time, even if Alice didn't want to cause trouble, he would make her cause trouble.

Let's make a big fuss, Alice!

Shen Sui clicked on the input box.
