The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 424: Soul Seller Kalgon

The magic ship itself has life characteristics.

It has no self-awareness, but is instead an alternative tool made from a mixture of flesh, blood, and metal.

It is a typical blasphemous object, and its very existence is a mockery of life and consciousness.

On the side and top walls inside the hull, there are not only semi-inlaid nodule-like eyes, but also a lipless mouth with densely arranged fangs.

These mouths will chant set whispering chapters at regular intervals to brainwash every consciousness on the ship.

To support this method, there are metal pipe plugs in many places inside the ship, such as corners and side walls.

This pipe plug is hollow and has a complete set of mechanisms inside that can vaporize the liquid flowing through the pipe, and its effect is similar to that of an incense burner.

The special poison gas combined with the Whispering chapter is just the right effect.

A team of demon warriors marched as the vanguard in the dimly lit corridor of the ship.

They are silent and expressionless, and their bodies, which have been reinforced through multiple layers of magic, are wrapped in thick magic iron armor.

The main color of this armor is dark red, like solidified blood.

This indicates the chapter they belong to, the Demonbloods.

Behind this team of Demon Blood Regiment's magic warriors is a priest wearing the regiment's Dark Blood robes.

He was wearing a large hat with a deep hood, and his skinny figure was hidden under the wide battle robe.

Although they are emaciated and look extremely unhealthy, their eyes are surprisingly bright and most of them maintain a fanatical expression.

The few who were not able to indulge in the frenzy would try to breathe in the poisonous gas as quietly as possible, gulping down the smoke-like air.

There is no way, the sober people are the most painful.

After self-anesthesia, the pain becomes pleasure, a deformed, alternative stimulating feeling that can be easily confused with pleasure...

The physical and even mental conditions of these priests have reached a certain critical point.

Haven't taken a truly extraordinary step yet.

However, ordinary people probably wouldn't envy this extreme state that is just one step away from success.

After all, if you cross over, you are no longer a human being, but a devil.

The Demon Blood Legion needs the priests to maintain their current state.

It’s about to pass.

This is the most valuable. For example, it can be used as a container for the descenders, which can carry them without exceeding the limit of the heavenly way. After descending, it will go beyond the ordinary and then increase its strength like a rocket...

For these religious fanatics, it is the greatest honor to serve the God they believe in. They firmly believe that they are doing the right thing, and those who are unwilling to dedicate themselves to God are just short-sighted fools.

As for those blasphemers who resist God, they can only work in vain, working in vain again and again, and can change nothing.

Dynasties will change, societies will collapse, even the powerful Xuanbing will die, only Gods will last forever.

The magic warriors of this Demon Blood Regiment, accompanied by priests, entered the cathedral-like bridge area of ​​the magic ship in a solemn manner, and then lined up solemnly in front of the command desk.

There are many teams like this, entering from different doors and forming up silently.

Then wait for Kalgon to wake up in the huge high-backed chair on the podium that looks like the emperor's throne on the Danchi.

Kalgon is not so easy to wake up. It requires a special ritual to wake him up.

These kinds of rituals basically involve blood sacrifice.

It wasn't originally that exaggerated.

It was more than a month ago that things suddenly changed drastically.

Of course, there are some details and small stories.

After all, the individuals in their power are not lacking in competitive wisdom. Things like passing the buck to their subordinates and overthrowing the big brother to take over are traditional skills that are often performed.

Against this backdrop, something suddenly went wrong with Kalgon. He could not be revived by normal means, and his condition did not look good, as if he was suffering from some kind of torture.

This naturally aroused the restlessness of the people below, and as a result, they lost their patience and suddenly launched an attack.

But in the end, his attempt to usurp power failed, and he ended up with a fate worse than death.

On another occasion, another usurper did not try to kill Kalgon while he was asleep, but instead prevented the awakening ceremony.

As a result, although Kalgon did not wake up on time, he finally woke up on his own. He was in a bad mood and killed tens of thousands of people in one breath.

After similar things happened a few times, people became smarter and concluded that Kalgon was using this method to eliminate those subordinates or colleagues who had disloyal intentions and were capable of causing trouble.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way. Another more mainstream view is that Kalgon probably recognized a wild father, and while he suffered, he did gain strength, which is why he was able to rise to power so quickly during this period.

The crisis of misfortune is very dangerous, but it also contains opportunities. It is a huge test of the determination of the person involved, and Kalgon, at least up to now, has managed to hold on.

The truth is probably the latter.

The painful screams and excited roars that Kalgon made in his coma were all real, not acting.

Ever since he accepted the power bestowed by an unknown god, he has often been in a state like choking in sleep, from which it is extremely difficult to wake up automatically and he needs to be awakened.

He painstakingly studied the reasons himself and did figure out some clues.

Simply put, the soul-test given to him by this unknown spirit was too difficult.

Could it be that he tried his best and still fell short?

It is precisely because of these deficiencies that he needs external force to awaken him.

And this external force is the power of the dark gods that he has always believed in.

Use magic to fight magic, use divine power to fight divine power. There is definitely nothing wrong with this idea.

So, is this dark god that he has always believed in so generous that he allows him to recognize a wild father?
It is really allowed.

Of course, there are prerequisites.

In the dark world, talking about loyalty is undoubtedly a ridiculous thing.

Interests, abilities, and value are the concepts that underlie the operation of the dark world.

Even gods cannot escape this rut.

Therefore, as long as Kalgon can play a role that matches his purpose, the dark gods do not mind him recognizing a wild father. Instead, they are happy for him to take on the task of being an experimental guinea pig.

At least, watching how he was abused was an eye-opener, and maybe I could learn some tricks or something.

As the person involved, Kalgon could really be described as being in ecstasy. His real face was distorted by the power of his wild father to be horrible and hideous, and his limbs were also not honest, twitching from time to time, as if he had epilepsy or electric shock.

As for rolling eyes and drooling, that is not worth mentioning, they are bound to happen.

This look is really indecent. No wonder his subordinates, who have a high level of competitive wisdom, can't help but put themselves in danger. It is obviously not acting, it is too realistic!
What tormented his soul was an unspeakable fear.

He is afraid of death, and even more afraid of losing power.

And this fear is to dig deep into these two points.

He felt himself trapped in an indescribable state, not a dream, without any five senses, only the feeling of the sixth sense.

In this state of feeling, the fear hidden deep in his heart was like the smelly mud that surged up from a puddle, splashing everywhere, spreading, polluting his cognition, and causing him to be infected by this thing.

There is no other way, you can only bear it and endure it.

This is also why he set up a wake-up mechanism.

It mainly depends on your own hard work. If you can't make it, you can rely on the power of the ritual to awaken yourself.

Rituals were originally used to communicate with the gods.

This kind of ceremony usually has a main sacrificer.

To put it simply, the function of the chief priest is not only to organize and guide, but also to serve as a communicator.

Its main characteristic is high perception, which facilitates communication with God.

However, due to a series of reasons, communication is still limited, just like a bad signal, it is intermittent, power-hungry and inefficient. The key is that it is easy to make mistakes and omissions, which delay things.

At this time, the ritual can enhance the signal strength and achieve the effect of accurate reception.

Kalgon is an important link as the chief priest, who takes advantage of both sides and thus solves his own problems.

After all, if the ritual is to succeed, the so-called chief priest of the communicator must not have any problems himself.

But something goes wrong and the situation falls into a nightmare-like state. Then the mechanism itself will try to eliminate the hidden dangers and solve the problem.

It was this force that Kalgon used to help himself wake up.

As for the previous attempts to murder him, he was able to counterattack in time mainly because he had actively requested to enter this nightmare-like state.

The reason why they actively ask to enter is naturally because there are huge benefits to be gained!

To endure unspeakable fear is itself a way of gaining power, and this method of gaining power is relatively low-cost yet very efficient.

Especially for a transcendent like Kargon who had been stuck in a bottleneck in improving his strength for many years, it is no exaggeration to say that it is like a pillow being sent to him when he is sleepy.

Under such a premise, he can actually choose to withdraw.

However, if he did not follow his plan and withdraw with the help of external forces at the right time, but relied entirely on himself to withdraw urgently, he would have to pay a heavy price.

This price, simply put, is the loss of a part of oneself.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about his consciousness structure.

He was selling his soul.

A considerable portion of it had been sold to the dark gods before.

Recently, I had a rare opportunity and sold the other part to Yedie.

On the one hand, the Wild Daddy is more generous than the Dark Spirit and can be sold at a higher price, and the price will be higher as time goes by.

He also knew the reason: Yedie wanted to hold the controlling stake (51%).

But he also has his ambitions. He wants to play hedge and let the dark gods and wild dad fight against each other.

This is also one of the reasons why he used the ritual to help himself wake up.

He was testing to see if his actions had touched the red line that would lead to the dark gods' counterattack.

If not, then he will continue with his plan, fighting fire with fire, and he will try to be the one who reaps the benefits.

Too risky? Courting death?

Of course it's necessary. Who among those who walk the dark road is not dancing on the edge of a knife?

If you don't have such awareness and still dare to walk the dark path, then it's a problem of IQ. How does the saying come from: I give you the chance but you are useless!
The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. If you can't withstand waves thousands of miles away, how can you catch a fish worth tens of thousands of dollars?
So once again, after hundreds of sacrifices died with a gasp of blood, Kalgon woke up from his nightmare state.

After waking up, he was still in a terrible mood when he woke up. The roar he made directly formed a sound wave that distorted the air. Even the magic warriors standing in the front row below the stage were affected and their faces changed color. The one who helped him undress on the stage was bleeding from all seven orifices and was killed by the shock.

He looked around with his cruel bloodshot eyes like a murderer, breathing out white air. It took a long time for Kalgon to regain his composure.

On and below the platform, there were nearly two hundred people killed by morning grumpiness and ritual sacrifices. The corpses were densely packed, and a considerable number of them were in pieces, with organs scattered all over the place. The smell of blood could not even cover up the thick poisonous gas.

The warrior leaders of the Demon Blood Regiment, such as centurions and thousand-man commanders, inevitably showed worry and fear in their eyes.

Even these people felt that he was in a bad condition, and Kalgon himself naturally knew that he had actually reached the upper limit of what could be achieved by improving his strength in this way.

At least up to now, his soul power is limited to this level.

It is already extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility of collapse and losing myself at any time.

Once it is really lost, no matter whether the soul is eventually snatched away by the dark gods or by the wild father, his true self is out, which is equivalent to his soul being scattered.

This is obviously not what he wants.

All his schemes are based on the premise that he can enjoy the ultimate benefits.

To achieve this, he must initiate a struggle between the dark gods and the wild father, with his soul as the stage.

The problem now is that he had overestimated himself a little bit, and at the same time underestimated the power and patience of the dark gods and Wild Daddy.

These two were still able to survive, and looked like they wanted to laugh at him.

Then he naturally tried to improve himself so that he could gain the strength to be able to sit at the table.

As a result, the risk of tapping one's own potential is still a little short of the point.

What should I do?
The task assigned to him by his father allowed him to glimpse some opportunities.

Specifically, it is the information in the memory of the Shikigami who was turned against and corrupted.

The reason why Shiki was turned against the government was certainly not Kalgon's fault.

Luo Bo is a man with a soul, and his situation is clear, which cannot be surpassed by Kalgon.

It was Yedie who used Kalgon to make the move. As a highly-perceptive mouthpiece, Kalgon got a glimpse of some secrets because he participated in the process.

He realized that Luo Bo had the key concept to realize his ambitions - a mysterious and powerful soul!
