Crisis

Sulu, who could barely be considered an expert in the mysticism, knew very well that in this world, the Seven True Gods would not bestow the gift of 'resurrection'.

As for Evil God, they only manipulate people's reason and take pleasure in it.

Angie Ribby's wish for her sister to get better is likely to be a pipe dream, or it could bring unimaginable and terrible consequences.

"So... the source of this incident is the blood that exists in the East District?"

"That blood not only possesses extraordinary healing abilities, but it can also give rise to monsters like Flesh Polluter?"

"Could it be... really... 'divine blood'?"

Sulu murmured softly.

In mysticism, even the slightest connection to the divine represents immeasurable danger.

Not to mention the terrifying substance, the blood of God.

That was not a blessing, but a terrible curse!

Unless granted by a deity, obtaining divine blood is of no use.

On the contrary, the will contained within the divine blood may strip them of control over their bodies, allowing the other party to complete a bizarre process of possession and resurrection.

The best outcome would be to become some unknown monster.

"That's impossible... Nia City was only sacrificed once by two Legendary Professional, how could this hidden danger suddenly appear?"

"Could it be... that there's some connection between the two?"

Even as a spirit, Sulu felt a chill. "I'd better leave here as soon as possible... I have a feeling... this city is strangely eerie, maybe there are some secrets hidden deep within."

Anyone who knowingly causes danger and still tries to crash into something is either a fool or an idiot.

Sulu is certainly not that kind of person.

Therefore, even knowing that there must be some secret in Angie and her sister's Mind Secret Realm, Sulu still didn't want to go in.

The risk is too great!

As long as he levels up steadily, becoming a fourth-tier [Dimensional Walker] will be no problem for him.

If we find the legacy of the [Dream Master], becoming a fifth-tier legend is not just a dream.

There's no need to take any more risks!

"After returning, let's leave Nia City... It's the perfect time to go back to Gusta State! The homeland of this body..."

"Yes, remember to also alter the memories of the people in the Doliv Manor, making sure there are no flaws."

"Huh?"

Sulu had secretly slipped out of the clinic and was preparing to return, suddenly looked up.

As night fell, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a hazy color, radiating a seven-colored glow that constantly shifted among red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

But when he saw this layer of light, he shuddered, as if some hidden fear had been stirred within him. "This is..."

Let's go back a little bit.

East District, Sewers.

In the name of the Goddess, may you be blessed... May your glory shine forever upon the earth!

Rows of Bureau 11 agents, armed with guns and various tools, led the way, followed by Church members who were on high alert.

Leading the group was none other than the local Archbishop, Oliver Fels.

He appeared to be middle-aged, with blue eyes, stern features, and a deep-set face. He wore a long, white robe and always carried a serious demeanor.

Beside him stood Theo, the captain of the Bureau 11, who was subtly observing the Archbishop.

The records show that this fourth-ranking Archbishop was the one who spearheaded the 'purge' of cultists in the city!

According to confidential information, the other party even possesses a Church 'relic'—a trap prepared for Moran.

Unfortunately, that apostate disappeared completely after attacking Green Tree Castle, and there has been no news of him since.

At this moment, not only the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Light arrived, but also many other Priest, assistant priests, and members of the church—a veritable all-out effort.

Theo was well aware that this was merely a performance to clear the Church's previous image, but he fully supported it.

It was precisely because of the involvement of a large number of powerful figures in the Church that they were able to find the source of the sewage pollution in the East District and fight their way here.

"Captain Theo..."

Just then, an agent shouted, "According to the detection... there's a giant life form ahead... Ah!!!"

Sizzle!

Ahead, a giant worm scurried out of the sewer.

Its front end was covered with densely packed mouthparts, countless serrated teeth interlocking to form a terrifying mixer, which swallowed several nearby agents whole in one gulp, leaving no trace of their bodies.

"Flesh Worm? Flesh-and-blood monsters that rarely appear in the files..."

Theo pulled open his trench coat and casually drew a strange pistol with a trumpet-shaped barrel. "Follow me... take it down!"

"The Flesh Worm are dangerous, let me handle this!"

Oliver stepped in front of Theo, his right hand adorned with a white glove embroidered with gold trim, presumably a woman's glove. He then lightly swung it at the worm.

Buzz!

A white arc of light flashed.

The enormous Flesh Worm stopped moving and suddenly split evenly in two from the middle.

Snap!

Its two body parts lay on the ground, still wriggling.

"Quickly... burn them!"

Theo grabbed the flamethrower and began burning the still-wriggling corpse.

At the same time, he was still in shock. "The Flesh Worm's defense is the kind that even ordinary third or fourth-tier beings would find difficult to break... Is that... the power of the Holy Relic of the Holy See?"

"No wonder the Federation is so cautious about the Church... Putting aside the Goddess, even in the secular world, their strength should not be underestimated..."

With Oliver stepping forward, they moved forward at a rapid pace.

After sweeping away a large number of monsters, we finally arrived at the source of everything.

"The sewer ahead... is a dead end!"

"The source of the blood and flesh contamination... should be there too!"

Oliver whispered as he went inside.

Theo, fully armed and looking like a freak covered in guns, followed behind.

After walking through a short passage, they arrived at the end.

As third- or fourth-tier superhumans, both of them possessed a certain degree of night vision.

At that moment, a wall made of flesh and blood came into view.

On the wall, there was also a faint human figure.

The other person's arms were raised horizontally, nailed to the Wall of Flesh, or as if their whole body was sinking into it, beginning to merge strangely.

Suppressing his nausea, Theo stepped forward and began searching for clues. "Judging from the clothes that haven't rotted yet... he's just an ordinary homeless man. Archbishop... what do you think?"

"He... is still alive!"

Oliver seemed to see more in his eyes. "His consciousness... is dreaming!"

"Can he still survive in this state?"

After confirming there was no danger, Theo stepped forward and examined the bizarre wall of flesh. "I don't know where the flesh and blood came from, but after burning it, it should be fine. The pollution in the East District can be resolved. Hmm? Is he talking?"

Theo pointed to the person bound by flesh and blood. "It seems to be talking about... Xivi..."

"Don't want!"

Oliver seemed to realize something and quickly stopped him.

Theo snapped out of his daze, slapped himself hard, quickly downed the potion, and used the spell.

But at this moment, an unknown voice seemed to sigh softly around them:

"Sivinardo ..."
