Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

exchange……

This word immediately put Chenxi and Baichen into deep thought.

“You’re right,” Chenxi sighed. “Our Sunfire Church has recently seen many new clergy members. Although the vast majority of them are players I’ve verified, there are bound to be some mixed-race individuals who have infiltrated.”

"Yes."

Chen Ye nodded and said, "I suspect that something must have been put into the Lieyang Church before this, which is why the exchange was successful."

"In other words... we need to find the reason for the exchange and completely eliminate it. In this way, it may be possible to bring the church of the Blood Gate World back to the time and space of the Destiny Era?" Bai Chen had a deep understanding of the knowledge of time and space and reacted to this point instantly.

"Let's scout out this area first," Chen Ye said, walking ahead to explore the way.

The church appeared extremely spacious, with its towering dome, niches filled with papal portraits, and countless gleaming silver candles, creating a magnificent hall. The surrounding walls were stained-glass windows, the patterns and colors of which, through careful blending, possessed a hazy yet exquisite beauty.

Originally, there should have been many clergy members walking around in this spacious, grand, and bright church.

But at this moment, the church appeared completely empty, without a single person in sight.

Clearly... even if the church itself is fine, the world it corresponds to is definitely problematic!

Just because something looks fine on the surface doesn't mean there aren't any problems in reality.

“Come this way.” Chenxi was familiar with the place and led the way. “This place is the sacrificial site leading to the Lord of the Blazing Sun. It should be when the energy is most abundant. We’ll go through this gate.”

With that, Chenxi pushed open the door with both hands and walked inside!

"careful!"

Chen Ye suddenly saw the countless strange eyes hidden behind the door with his Eye of Luck and shouted a warning!

But it was too late; dawn had already pushed open the door!
A terrifying storm of blood and gore suddenly swept in from the other side of the gate, turning into countless gusts of wind that swept across the area!

The raging wind and waves, carrying a massive airflow, instantly blew Chenxi and the others several feet backward.

"This is……"

Chenxi's gaze shifted slightly as she realized that the door, once opened, did not connect to the Sun Altar!

Looking out, there was a blood-red sky, and a huge altar, seemingly entangled with countless evil spirits, stood in another corner of the horizon, with countless chains rattling in the wind!

At the point where the chains were wrapped, there was a monster with a coffin on its back, its size enormous, as if it occupied half the sky!
At this moment, the monster sensed that the gate had been opened and let out a heart-wrenching roar!

next second...

The monster opened its enormous mouth, and several tongues that seemed to extend infinitely suddenly blocked the door, preventing it from closing.

"This guy... wants to get in!"

Bai Chen's expression changed as he realized that opening the door this time might have pulled in some formidable monster from within the Blood Gate World!
His hands moved in a blur, instantly conjuring several spatial slashes that hurtled towards the tongues!

Dang, Dang, Dang! ! !
After these tongues were severed by the spatial slash, they suddenly split into several small monsters, which then burrowed into the church.

The stench of the wind was so fierce that it blew the door wide open!

Endless black mist began to encroach upon the church, and the silver candles in the niches flickered precariously, as if they were about to go out at any moment!
"This door must be closed!"

Chenxi gritted her teeth, held the holy sword, and stood in front of him.

As her body blazed with brilliant and scorching divine fire, the foul wind dissipated somewhat under the intense heat.

Chen Ye's expression changed slightly, and he quickly played the suona, trying to summon gray mist to protect everyone's bodies.

But at that moment, Chenxi gritted her teeth and said, "We can't let these things in. Once they get inside the gray fog, I won't be able to resist them and they'll get into the church!"

At this moment, the church burst forth with a hazy glow, as if a protective barrier was erecting, blocking out the foul winds.

but……

The area near the entrance remains a disaster zone!

The monster outside the door kept letting out heart-wrenching roars. Suddenly, the coffin behind him opened, and a mercury-serpent-like monster emerged from it. It was pitch black and moved with lightning speed, rushing towards the church entrance.

"This ugly worm..."

Chen Ye activated the [Eye of Fortune] and suddenly noticed the rapidly attacking insect, which was entangled with extremely sinister attributes.

next second.

Chen Ye immediately activated his exclusive talent, [Infinite Deduction], to see what changes would occur in the situation.

The mercury serpent burrowed into the church and immediately transformed into a figure dressed in black robes. With its hands covering the area, a large number of red-skinned zombies began to gather in the area!

These red-skinned zombies were covered with one sinister, strange eye after another!

Although Chenxi and the others could use the abilities of the Church of the Blazing Sun to kill these red-skinned zombies, the black flames covered the entire church, and everything there was burned and destroyed by the black flames.

"We've fallen into the Joker's trap!"

Chen Ye's expression changed slightly. He realized that this church was prepared for Chen Xi.

I'm afraid... within the Blood Gate world, due to the special nature of this church, only Dawn's identity is able to enter this place and push open some of the doors of the Sun Church.

Others do not have the authority or status to do this.

After all, the Church of the Radiant Sun is under the protection of the Lord of the Radiant Sun and is highly exclusive.

Once interfered with by external forces, a resistance mechanism will be automatically triggered, thereby eliminating everything that intrudes.

and so.

When dawn breaks and she enters this place, she becomes vulnerable to attacks from external forces as soon as she opens the building's doors from inside the church.

Under Chen Ye's deduction, countless black flames covered the entire area. These black flames were actually destructive to the interior of the Lieyang Church. Even though every building in the church was built with sacred bricks and tiles, these black flames could still damage the internal buildings. This showed that the black flames could not deal with the external buildings, but were specifically designed to deal with the Lieyang Church!
The church cannot withstand this level of burning! "We must not let this mercury serpent enter this place!"

Chen Ye's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized that he had to do something to stop the Mercury Society.

The next second, Chen Ye began to play the suona, accompanied by layers of gray mist that blocked the doorway!
This gray fog is actually able to keep out the fishy winds from outside!

Chen Ye used himself as a human shield, standing in front of the enemy, and the bloody wind immediately weakened a lot!

"Bai Chen, close the door!"

Chen Ye quickly spoke up.

Bai Chen's hands intertwined again, changing their shape, and immediately slammed the two doors shut!

Boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the door finally slammed shut!
However, there were black eyes inside, suspended deep within the church, seemingly beginning to flee rapidly towards the surrounding corners.

“This church is now somewhat polluted…” Chenxi said, frowning.

"Yes, I sensed it too."

Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to use his unique talent of infinite deduction to investigate where those black eyes had gone.

The next second, Chen Ye's eyes began to see these eyes, which focused on the statue of the Pope.

It was as if two opposing forces were locked in a struggle!
Blood and tears began to flow from behind those papal statues, and holy relics such as swords and blades materialized and began to attack Chen Ye and his companions!
Chen Ye immediately realized that these sinister black eyes were polluting the sacred buildings in this area by attacking the papal statue.

After all, these sacred buildings originally possessed unique characteristics, even a certain degree of vitality, which formed the entire Sun Chapel as a pilgrimage area. But now, if even the characteristics of pilgrimage are distorted, then they will treat Dawn and the others as external enemies and kill them!
That is to say...

Originally designed to protect against the blazing sun, the building has now become a formation specifically prepared to slay the dawn!

It's safe to say that the Joker had foreseen the situation when Dawn entered. If he messed with anything here, it would bring endless danger!
This requires the help of a more powerful external force to reverse the current situation!
"If Chenxi hadn't come in with me, we would have been in big trouble!"

Chen Ye took a deep breath, realizing just how deep and calculating the Joker's scheme was.

However, once you use your unique talent to see through these plans...

So!

There's no problem if we just deal with these black eyes before they defile the Pope's statue!
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately spoke to Chen Xi:

"Dawn, now you need to activate these papal statues using the properties of the Blazing Sun Fire!"

"Activate?"

As if realizing something, Chenxi raised her right hand, conjuring a divine radiance that began to connect with the pope's statue in the nearby niche.

The next second, these papal statues collectively emitted a sacred and dazzling light, and began to form a bond with the figure of dawn!

Buzz! ! !
Accompanied by a strange sound, these papal statues once again emitted a divine protective aura, as if they had come to life completely!
The statue of the Pope has become more lifelike, even seemingly given the ability to change expressions, like a portrait that has truly come to life!

They all realized that the Church of the Blazing Sun was facing a huge problem, and their expressions became solemn and dignified!
At this moment.

Black threads and black mist began to erupt from inside the papal statue, as if it had been contaminated in some way...

Those black eyes began to relentlessly try to invade the statue of the Pope!

However, because the papal statue had been fully activated by the dawn, there were actually enough individuals to counter those black eyes.

"I'm here to help you!"

At this moment, Chen Ye also picked up the suona and began to play spiritual sounds to dispel pollution.

The next second, accompanied by spiritual sounds, echoed continuously throughout the area...

It was as if an invisible barrier force covered the entire area!
That moment...

The heart-wrenching sound emanating from the monster's mouth was suppressed!

At the same time, the mercury snake's movements stopped in mid-air!
"So that's it! The mercury serpent's movements were controlled by the monster's voice!"

"It crawled out of that strange coffin, and it looked very sinister!"

"This coffin seems to contain a large number of evil rituals. Recently, there have been several cases of missing players in the City of Destiny, including some very powerful players. As ritual materials, they would definitely be top-tier among top-tier materials!"

"After all, players absorb all sorts of different characteristics, and many players have different development paths from the strange natives. They choose multiple sequences to develop together, so they absorb all sorts of different characteristic materials for this kind of sinister ritual. They are all talented individuals!"

"Perhaps this altar contains such an evil sacrificial ceremony, in which case many players would have been sent here to be sacrificed. It's hard to imagine what a terrifying being would have been nurtured!"

Chen Ye immediately realized that he had to stop the mercury snake from entering the interior of the church.

The monster itself isn't the key issue; the thing inside the coffin on its back is incredibly sinister. If it were to wander into the church area, it could easily corrupt the entire church!

The mercury serpent is currently lingering near the entrance, not yet completely driven away. Those black eyes are clones of the mercury serpent, hidden in various corners, trying to invade these papal statues.

However, Chen Ye's suona music possesses a spiritual purifying power, capable of separating these chaotic spiritual entities and even suppressing their activities!
at this time……

Although Bai Chen had used his spatial abilities to firmly close and suppress the stained glass door, the outside was still shaking continuously, as if the devils inside had rushed in after this door of Satan had been opened. It's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away. Once this thing is brought in, it won't be easy to get them out!
Chen Ye's suona playing was also meant to keep these devils inside Satan's gates quiet and obedient.

After suppressing their activity...

The purification effect of dawn will become even more effective!

at this time.

The foul winds that the black mists transformed into constantly swirled within the Pope's body, forming one after another figure clad in black cloaks.

Those figures, wielding scythes, stood up and instantly transformed into monsters with bulging backs!

"This looks like things are getting a bit complicated!" (End of Chapter)
