The further you go inward, the more you feel that the whole space is full of malice. The feeling of facing the gods becomes clearer and clearer, whispers, murmurs, and even completely incomprehensible sounds of pain appear, as if the empty temple is actually everywhere.
They are all invisible figures.
He felt the damp wind blowing from the direction of the Holy Emblem like a sharp blade. Cracks appeared on Shade's face, but then golden light seeped out.
He felt the raging fire rising from his feet like a giant beast. The pain that touched his soul only appeared for a moment, and was then suppressed by a more powerful force.
He felt the thunder of destruction, like a giant hammer in the hand of a god falling from above his head. The power resisted and impacted him, but this familiar high-dimensional power made Shade even more excited.
He felt the lingering water, like the gentlest lover's hand wrapping around him. His pace became slow, but firm. Neither [desire] could stop him, nor could these illusions stop him.
The power behind the Holy Emblem was resisting, resisting this mortal who carried the divinity of the alien god, but this made Shade even more excited.
Looking up at the Holy Emblem, the strange spiral pattern made Shade feel increasingly dizzy. Around the road leading to the high platform where the Holy Emblem and the altar were located, the phantoms of ugly murlocs appeared one by one.
They stretched out their hands to try to catch Shad, but they were wary of the divine radiance. The bones piled under the altar seemed to come to life. The undead screamed and pounced on Shad from the front, but they could not let Shad.
Stop.
Just like what [Desire] said, when a certain desire is strong to a certain extent, all other emotions will be suppressed.
All the statues in the entire temple seemed to tremble at this moment. When Shade struggled to reach the first step under the high platform, the tremendous pressure he endured even made the skin on his body turn a terrifying bright red.
He stepped up the steps, and the golden scars on his body suddenly became stronger. Shade's eyes, nose, mouth and ears were all bleeding, but the force that was attracting him in front of him made him have no intention of stopping.
Finally, with great difficulty, he reached the high platform. The pressure made Shade stumble forward and fell forward. Fortunately, he held on to the rough stone altar and did not fall down.
The base of the altar is composed of four kneeling murlocs, who stretch out their hands together to hold the huge stone basin above.
The bright red blood in the stone basin is all dripping from the surface of the holy symbol. Because the chief priest of the Scarlet Secret Cult is dead, no one knows what these strange liquids are now, but the blood that is rich in blasphemous elements and huge spirits can be pretended to be
Bottles to sell, at least one bottle can...
"What am I thinking?"
Holding the edge of the altar with both hands to stand upright, the Holy Emblem is within reach. But [Desire] said that if you don’t want to be watched after becoming a thief, then you must pollute the sea before taking that thing away.
Return ceremony.
Shade knew the method of blasphemy. Mr. Edmund, who was guarding the old lighthouse, proposed a bold approach, which was to engrave the holy symbol of the enemy god on the holy symbol of the [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral].
But Shade was worried that he would be struck to death by lightning immediately, so he planned to use another method that would not cause trouble.
"This is an important investment."
He took out a small bottle containing fish scales. Since he had to hold the altar with his hands to avoid falling down, Shade could only crush the glass bottle with his bare hands. Regardless of the injury to his right hand, he threw the [Drowning Murloc Scales] towards
That basin of blood.
Thump~
The altar was obviously resisting this thing, but the relic still penetrated the surface of the liquid and fell in, splashing blood onto Shade's sleeves.
After a strange moment of silence, the altar shook violently, and the shimmering blood reflected Shade's face red. Under his gaze, the pool of blood bubbled like boiling, and the bright red blood quickly decayed.
The stinking, disgusting smell finally made Sha De spit it out.
He vomited the food residue and stomach bleeding into the altar together. This act was probably even more blasphemous than before.
There was a loud rumble above the temple, as if thunder had hit the place directly. Along with the violent shaking of the ground, cracks actually appeared on the floor of the ancient temple.
The walls were peeling off, and dust and stones continued to fall from the sky. Even the holy symbol stopped bleeding, and the golden color gradually dimmed, as if the gods had abandoned this place.
The pressure gradually eased, and Shade raised his head to look at the white bone holy symbol coated with blood.
He took off his mask and made a strange sound from his mouth. This is an ancient mermaid incantation, which has been passed down from the earliest times to the present. This language cannot be easily recorded, but half a century ago the fish people sealed [Desire]
], it was perfectly memorized by [Desire].
For a level 0 relic, this wonderful language may be much younger than it is.
As Shade chanted, the temple's collapse progressed faster. The small statues of the fishmen and mermaids cracked one by one, and the boulders and beams on the ceiling fell to the ground along with the countless skeletons hidden in the sky.
The waves below.
Shade did not run away. He squirmed his mouth and recited the incantation, while his eyes were fixed on the holy symbol.
The holy symbol trembled as the temple collapsed, and then it cracked.
The remains of the Holy Emblem fell together with the dust, and a huge crack appeared on the wall behind it. A heavy heartbeat sound came from it, and a trace of extreme golden light illuminated Shade's face in front of the altar.
.
Except for the high platform at the feet, one third of the floor of the entire temple had fallen into the waves. The shaking became more and more intense, and dust and red rain fell from the sky.
The cracks on the wall became wider and wider, until Shade saw the corrupt blood vessels and flesh in the mermaid's chest through the cracks, and saw the fist-sized golden pearl inlaid in the center of the black heart.
The golden light echoed the cracks on Shade's body. His eyes widened and he stretched his fingers upward as if unconsciously:
"This is really... my treasure..."
【Foreigners, please do not be fooled by desire.】
Shade couldn't even tell whether this sentence was her own thought or whether she was really reminding her.
Ashes mixed with rain of blood fell down, behind which was the temple that was almost completely collapsed, and hundreds of small statues stuck diagonally on the floor, about to be submerged by the sea water. The golden light illuminated the strangers in front of the altar, illuminating
He held his hand and illuminated the strange cracks on his body.
As Shade stretched out his hand forward, the golden pearl embedded in the chest of the giant mermaid corpse automatically separated from the heart and flew out due to the call of the mantra.
A strange impulse made Shade reach out to grab it, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, Shade screamed in pain as if he had been bitten by a cat, and retracted his hand.
The golden pearl fell into the altar filled with boiling blood. Shade saw that his fingertips turned black, but they soon returned to normal.
"Why...it's the evil god's divinity that is resisting me."
There was nothing unusual when he obtained the divinity of the [Innocent Creator] last time, because that drop of divinity was originally a gift given to Shade by the gods of the past across thousands of years, and that power was very friendly to him.
But this drop of divinity is the power of the evil god [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral]. It will not obey Shade and let him touch it. In fact, if Shade himself had not been very adaptable to divinity, he would have been touched just now.
