Chapter 57 -54: Mother of Twilight (Seeking Recommendations, Monthly Tickets)
Crunch!
Crunch!
The Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud happily gnashed its teeth, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
The delicious soul was a delight to it.
After this guy dies, it will be free, capable of devouring souls at will!
However, its excitement didn’t last long when a voice rang out, making it stiffen instantly!
“Tasty, is it?”
The masked man appeared behind it, perfectly unscathed.
He extended a hand, gently stroking the Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud:
“Everything, despite seeming formless, comes from myriad forms.
In the beginning, everything was whole.
You’ve devoured me, and we’ve merged into one.
I’m glad to see you understand this wisdom.
Did you know?
Humans are a peculiar form of life.
They disdain each other, yet also flatter one another.
Everyone aspires to be superior, yet are prone to groveling before others.
They’re the lowest of the low, yet also the noblest, chaotic yet orderly.
As for me, I wish to make everyone cast off their deceitful masks and their facades, to ultimately return to eternal chaos.
Would you mind behaving, before I accomplish this goal?”
Although spoken softly, the words carried an oppressive weight that stifled the breath.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud was confused.
It had clearly devoured this guy— the soul it was currently chewing wouldn’t lie to it!
Why…
Was he still alive!
Especially when the Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud looked at the dark, starry expanse within the empty sockets of that mask’s tri-fold gaze, which seemed to be filled with an oddly affectionate gaze.
An odd, distorted love for everything in the world.
This kind of disturbing love sent a shiver down its spine, causing it to slowly lower its head.
“Good boy, be a good child!”
Seeing the Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud calm down, the masked man laughed joyously, patted it and let it hide among the dark clouds.
He spared Gary Smith only a single glance, not giving him much thought.
A courageous lad who managed a counter-play against a dominant creature and profited from it, whose wisdom far surpassed that of ordinary people.
It’s just a pity…
He’s too weak!
In the upcoming grand arena, he’s just a side character.
Hope he surprises me a bit…
He leaped from the top of the tower, surrendering himself to gravity.
Just as he was about to smash onto the ground, becoming a bloody mess, a dark rift opened up, swallowing him whole.
He moved through the shadow, arriving directly at a giant underground cavity.
Inside, dozens of Followers of the Evil God draped in black cloaks with complex, mystical patterns were involved in carving sacrificial runes into specially-treated eyes, organs, and skulls.
The floor had been carved into a web of trenches, outlining a twisted, mysterious symbol.
It resembled the sun, yet was obscured by strange patterns.
Droves of followers poured shadow-like substance that flowed like oil into the trenches.
It wriggled restlessly, seemingly searching for something.
At the very heart of the underground area was a three-meter-tall stone sculpture of a serpent with its eyes carved out.
Streams of shadowy water flowed from the empty sockets, collected by the members of the cult waiting beneath it and poured into the trenches.
Underneath it stood an elderly man in a yellow robe, bent and wizened, with a fierce countenance and eyes as sharp as a falcon’s.
He sensed a presence, turned his head and looked at the newly-arrived masked man, furrowing his brow to ask, “Did you reach the limit before being detected in the Star Cluster Beast Tower?”
The masked man shrugged, “Nope, just as expected from a tower that only exists in the realm of fantasy.
I was detected as soon as I approached it…”
The old man interrupted him, declaring in a deep voice:
“This isn’t what we agreed upon!”
“Can’t be helped.
Didn’t you notice my Soul-Devouring Demon Cloud got injured because of this?
I’ve done my best…” The masked man pretended to wipe away a tear, yet not a hint of sadness was evident.
He kindly warned: “The Alliance might start their anti-lewd movement soon.
You guys have to be careful!”
“Anti-lewd?…”
The old man’s eye twitched slightly.
If it wasn’t for his uncertainty whether he could defeat this masked man, he would have been tempted to rip out his shadow and torture him to death.
He was angry…
Because his defenses had been breached!
After all, he was the High Priest of the secretive cult that served the[Mother of Dusk].
Legend has it that the sun was born from the shadow of the Mother of Twilight.
At sunset, she crafts a coffin from shadows to bury the sun, consuming the solar core at the intersection of light and dark, to become the new Mother of Light that nurtures all life.
Therefore, they believe that the sun belongs to the Mother of Twilight, and all things are birthed under the shadow of the great deity.
As the mouthpieces of the god, they believe they have the right to rule over everything in the world.
Hence, they often engage in human sacrifice rituals.
The Alliance has labeled them as one of the cults of the Evil God.
And every time the Special Section cracks down on them, its operation code name is— anti-lewd!
Freakin’ acronym!
Added to this, the Mother of Dusk’s Cult always appears and disappears mysteriously, which causes people to tease them as the paratroopers of the cults of the Evil God.
People are always asking if they’ve been swept away by the anti-lewd movement, if they have any fast food joints and so on…
Moreover, they have had several near misses!
The insult is no less than making the peacock dance gesture at a Korean.
After provoking him, the masked man changed the subject and said:
“Have you found its location yet?”
The high priest replied somberly, “No, even though it was summoned by our teaching sect before, and the [Fallen Blood] was also excavated in this area, and even though we sensed its existence, we can’t find the seal’s location at all.
{@literal>}But it doesn’t seem like it’s sealed in a different dimension, we can’t find any trace of spatial fluctuations, it feels like…
it’s on a different time node, how did the Alliance manage to do this?”
With that, he shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
The masked man glanced unnoticeably at the unnoticed white figure in the corner, flicked his fingernails, and calmly said:
“That’s right, otherwise, why would they let the demons use the abandoned city district as a buffer point?
It seems that the key to unsealing still lies in that tower.
Only when the glory of the star cluster is dim, can darkness emerge.”
The High priest interrupted with a grimace: “Are you joking?
That tower has stood for too long, and we have buried…
so many things underneath.
The only time it shifted position was decades ago, and it’s impossible for us to shatter it with our power alone.”
The masked man chuckled and said: “Dimming the starlight isn’t the only way, as for how specifically, it’s up to our Faceless Order.
We won’t break our promise!”
Hearing these grand words, the high priest didn’t become agitated but frowned and asked:
“What is your real purpose!?”
His intention was to liberate this kin of the Evil God, who was infinitely close to the [Superior Beings], to make it advance to a real superior being by sacrificing Abyss City and gain power.
Then what about the other party?
According to the agreement, they said they would take something else except for this kin.
What secret is hidden in this!
“My dear brother, what are you saying!” the masked man looked at him in surprise and said in a faithful and justified tone: “Of course, we’re fighting for the liberation of the kin of the great existence we serve!”
Who agreed to be ‘we’ with you!
Don’t you Faceless Brotherhood worship the [Faceless God], who is also known as the [Master of Endless Banquets], the[Great Lust God]?
Why are you recognizing any god as your parent?
Get lost, don’t associate with us!
The old man’s forehead twitched involuntarily, suppressing the urge to swear.
The Faceless Order believes that all beings are formless, everything is shapeless, appearance is just a skin, all matter is just one of the original chaotic forms, all things in the world are brothers and sisters, they love everything in the world and yearn to return to the original chaos, where all things merge into one.
They do not reject the worship of other deities besides the Faceless God, but their attitude is…
If it’s useful, they acknowledge it, if not, they throw it away.
Other teaching sects are often infiltrated by these people, who create all kinds of trouble!
Wherever there’s something interesting, they can’t be absent and even actively help the enemy, causing great losses to many teaching sects.
Their reputation truly precedes them!
This kind of action purely for pleasure,
Is more terrifying than evil with a purpose!
Neither the teaching sect nor the authorities want to run into them, especially because they’re good at transformation, they can become anyone close to you and they won’t be recognized, they will play and deceive you until you completely collapse into madness.
No face is a thousand faces,
All is one!
The man in front of him is one of the core members of the brotherhood.
This time he had no choice, he needed someone to block the Abyss City Alliance and the Beast Control Association, otherwise, he really didn’t want to meet these madmen.
They’re all foxes,
It’s all about who’s more cunning.
After discussing the follow-up plan, the masked man turned into darkness and left.
The high priest didn’t fully believe them, after all, he might also be one of the playthings of this bunch of bastards, so he still had to rely on himself to find it.
However, every time he thought about this, his face became fierce.
He gritted his teeth and said:
“If it wasn’t for the fact that all the[fallen blood]I painstakingly collected and purified was stolen, and I lost the medium for finding it, which forced me to let these bastards join, and even now I can only use Shadow Touch to search bit by bit, damn it, if I knew who did it, I would flay him alive…
”
“Achoo!”
Mousie, far away, couldn’t help but sneeze, rubbing her nose with her little paw, she always felt someone was thinking about her.
Was it her little bed?
Little sofa?
Or did she catch a cold from the wind after her soul emerged?
Nevermind, too lazy to think about it, because now Mousie has to go do a big thing with this human…
