Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 286 Fallen Mother Goddess: Finally Found You!
As Buzz closed his eyes and waited to die, there was a rustling sound.

He trembled, his legs could no longer stand firmly, and he fell to the ground, but the expected scene of being eaten by spiders did not come.

Quietly opened his eyes and scanned around, it turned out that the rustling sound just now was the sound of spiders evacuating the cabin.

There were a lot of question marks in his mind, and he sat on the ground to rest for a while before he bravely came to the window, opened a corner of the window slightly, and looked out the window.

Under the crimson moonlight, the spiders all over the ground seem to have encountered some kind of natural enemy, like a backwashing tide, hiding in the soil again, leaving only layers of white spider silk surrounded by layers of silver on the ground. world.

In such a fantastic scene, he saw a figure standing on the farmland in the distance, with his back to himself. The light on that person was particularly conspicuous, not only the light of the crimson moon, but also the brilliance of the stars.

Those spiders fled in a panic because they were afraid of his existence.

When all the spiders on the ground fled, the figure also left.

Bass hid in the log cabin, his eyes wide open, his whole body seemed to be on fire, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. What happened tonight was enough to be the talk of his life.

……

On the hill, the cave opened again facing the crimson moon.

This time, Hastur did not choose to watch from the outside. His eyes were like torches, piercing through layers of darkness and the obstruction of spider silk, and seeing everything inside clearly.

He stepped forward, and his body fell straight down. The surrounding spider silks turned into black silk threads before being entangled, and then shattered.

After the end, along the path opened by the spiders, Hastur gradually deepened. In the world formed by the white spider silk, there are white cocoons on the dome above the head, at least thousands of them.

These are the sacrifices that the town sacrifices to the so-called Goddess of the Breath of Spring every year, including unlucky ones like the mayor.

Photographed from Hastur's breath at this moment, although the cocoons shook slightly, none of the spiders dared to break out of the cocoons.

Passing through the cocoon room, Hastur saw the master of the night, a three-story tall spider with a human face.

The upper body is a bloated person, the lower body is a spider abdomen and long legs with black fluff.

The features on its face were smoothed out, as if it had been soaked in some kind of strong acid liquid.

Faced with Hastur's arrival, the human-faced spider was not afraid at all. Instead, it kept turning around the surrounding spider webs, looking back and forth at Hastur, as if confirming something.

Finally it stopped, and a familiar voice came from the abdomen, "I said I have a hunch, we will meet soon."

It was the voice Hastur had heard that night when he entered old Jeff's daughter's dream.

At that time, he felt strange why the girl was not affected by the nightmare ability.

Only now did I realize that it was the human-faced spider in front of him who was talking to him at that time.

"Ma'am, your premonition is very accurate, but what makes me curious is why you can still stay awake, shouldn't you fall into chaos and madness?"

Hastur already understood most of the cause and effect. The owner of this voice was the girl who was first sacrificed, and the object of the sacrifice was this big spider.

In the eyes of many people, spiders spin silk and give birth to children is a symbol of reproduction, especially people in small places, they will be more superstitious about these sayings.

But what people didn't expect was that the girl was not completely swallowed by the spider, but entangled and fused with the spider, and finally became such a terrifying appearance.

Not only did he not die, but he could still have a clear mind, and even use his own ability to change the tradition of sacrificing priestesses and instead sacrifice to those lovers.

"If you want to know all the answers, you can enter my dream. I know you have this ability, and I have always been eager to share my story with others."

There is a hint of temptation in the soft female voice.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Hastur's mouth, "Wait until I enter your dream, and then I will be swallowed by you, chewing until there are no bones left, right?"

They are both thousand-year-old foxes, and they are still playing innocent with him.

He couldn't believe that the fat body in front of him was the result of drinking dew for a long time.

After a moment of silence, the voice continued: "Are you also a person who judges people by their appearance? I thought you would be different from them."

"It's really different. I will judge people by their appearance more than they do."

"..."

The human-faced spider was finally angry. It walked swiftly on the web with its eight legs, came to the dome and hung upside down overlooking Hastur, and then spewed out a mouthful of spider silk, like a white waterfall.

"confusion!"

"doom!"

"fear!"

"Foul language!"

Hastur easily dodged this level of attack, slammed every word, mixed with different extraordinary abilities, directly smashed the face spider into a sieve, and shattered its body into more than a dozen pieces.

In the face of absolute strength, the human-faced spider is just a slightly bigger spider, if you can't pinch it to death with your fingers, you can trample it to death with your feet.

In the middle of the man-face spider's ruptured abdomen, a group of slightly beating red cocoons appeared, like a heart.

A chain of order stretched out from behind Hastur, and the red cocoon split open, and the viscous red liquid dripped all over the ground.

There appeared a complete human face, a slightly delicate face, in stark contrast to the hideous body.

"Outlander, thank you for saving me." There was a relieved smile on that face, and then it disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

In the drifting smoke, Hastur saw the girl's life.

With a fearless spirit of sacrifice, she took the initiative to sacrifice herself to the so-called gods instead of other chosen girls.

During the entanglement and fusion, her human nature remained unchanged, but gradually transformed this big man-eating spider into a human-faced spider.

Moreover, she also sincerely protects the harvest of this land.

It's just that human nature will eventually be affected by chaos and madness, and the sacrifice of the Valley Sacrifice Festival every year is to satisfy the greed of wild cannibals.

As this greed gradually increases, the number of sacrifices required each year also increases.

And this turning point occurred because some external force seriously affected her, eroded her humanity, and nourished her animal greed.

The source of this external force is a gaze from the starry sky.

Following the reappearance of that gaze, the flesh and blood of the originally disintegrated corpse of the human face spider suddenly gathered and became distorted.

Nearby, densely packed little spiders were dispatched, and they volunteered to be a part of it.

This is an indescribably huge monster with a bloated body that can accommodate more than 100 Hasturs. Its back spider legs protrude randomly, a big mouth is split in the fat on its body, and strips grow out of its lower abdomen. Tentacles covered with mouthparts, and many desperate patterns of fear of death are printed on them.

Nausea, want to vomit.

This was the first thought in Hastur's mind.

"Fallen Goddess."

Hastur's expression was much more solemn, and the gaze that affected the distortion of the spider on the face came from the fallen goddess beyond the starry sky.

Just one look destroyed the girl's persistence in humanity for thousands of years, and degenerated into a monster again. He could only use his own hands to help her out.

"finally found you!"

I don't know which mouth the voice came from, or all the mouths were repeating this sentence, which made people's skin crawl.

"Found it, then what?"

Hastur didn't give the fallen mother goddess a chance to speak again. She first used her secret authority to cover everything here, and then smashed the extremely disgusting monster in front of her again.

Just a gaze left in history, even with the help of the body of the human-faced spider, the power and influence that the fallen goddess can exert is limited.

This star container, after being baptized by the power of the stars, is comparable to the combat power of Sequence 2, enough to easily crush it.

In order to prevent this place from being affected by the power of the fallen mother goddess, Hastur smashed the dome, causing the stars in the sky to descend.

The stars radiated light, igniting a flame, and quickly swept across the entire cave.

The flames of the stars wash away all filth!
Hastur stood outside the cavern, watching the subterranean cavern engulfed by the flames of the stars, to prevent any further accidents.

Hastur didn't pay much attention to what the fallen goddess said just now.

This body is just a container for the arrival of the stars, not the main body, so it is no big deal even if it is targeted by the fallen goddess.

Moreover, it is not so simple for the fallen goddess who is far outside the starry sky to target an angel on the ground.

Unless he takes back the power to compete with the Mother Tree of Desire and Lilith for the authority of the original moon, and then gives up suppressing Mr. Gate and Roselle, and targets himself with all his strength.

This is almost impossible.

The super star ruler has a very accurate evaluation of the fallen mother goddess: He wants everything, but often gets nothing in the end.

When the flames below the cave were completely burned, Hastur took a boulder from the air, thought for a while, and carved a line of words on it: "Consistent protection, peace and harvest, goddess of the breath of spring."

With a light tap of his right foot, the underground cave collapsed, and then this huge boulder was firmly pressed on it.

……

The first person to discover this boulder was Bass, who survived by luck.

On the second day after the boulder appeared, he seemed to be guided inexplicably, and he came to the top of the mountain without knowing it, and saw this boulder that suddenly appeared here.

He has guarded the fields around here all the year round, and has come to the top of the mountain many times. He can be sure that this huge rock never existed in this location before!

This boulder needs five strong men to stretch out their arms to embrace it. It is three meters high. Unless it is a miracle, it will never appear here overnight.

As the news spread, the mayor's family also came. When they saw the boulder and the words engraved on it, they immediately announced that it was the Goddess of the Breath of Spring in response to their prayers, and specially sent a miracle to protect the town for a good harvest.

More and more people were convinced, and then a pavilion was built on the original site of the giant stone to prevent the sacred stone from being eroded by wind and rain. Many people came here to worship and sacrifice.

The wrinkles on Old Jeff's face have been ironed out, and everyone is saying that it was this year's priestess who succeeded in pleasing Ceres, which made Ceres perform miracles and bless the residents of the town.

The re-elected new mayor even proposed to make old Jeff's daughter a permanent priest, who would be responsible for the sacrificial ceremony of the Sacrificial Valley Festival every year.

The old Jeff, who had become ashamed, rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, the stranger did not agree to marry his daughter.

But he thought it was a pity that such a foreigner could not be his son-in-law because of his good looks and extraordinary wealth.
