Infinity: Kill your way through the movie world.

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, the basement door was silently pushed open from the outside.

A figure stood at the door.

He was dressed in ordinary khaki pants and a plaid shirt, with an average appearance and a gentle demeanor, like a young man next door.

However, the moment they saw him, the air in the basement seemed to freeze.

Castio, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly shielded Sam and Dean behind him, his left hand instantly forming a knife-like shape, ready to slash his palm at any moment and use angel blood to inscribe the most urgent teleportation array.

His voice was filled with unprecedented tension and fear: "Michael!"

Dean and Sam instantly went into battle mode, pointing their weapons at the uninvited guests at the door.

The archangel of Heaven, Lucifer's brother, the guy who saw Dean as a 'destined suit', is now here in such an ordinary way.

Michael, or rather, the temporary vessel he had chosen, showed just the right amount of apology and raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

"Relax, Castio, I'm not here to fight."

His voice was calm, carrying a strange soothing power, yet it could not dispel the chill in everyone's hearts.

“I am deeply sorry for Zachary’s previous actions. I had no idea he would 'convince' you in that way, Dean.”

He turned his gaze to Dean, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "As for Heaven unilaterally shutting down its support for exorcism laws, I only just learned of that myself."

“The Supreme Council bypassed me.” He paused, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible helplessness. “The gates to Eden have been temporarily sealed, and the access to the relevant sacred objects has been frozen. It will take time to reopen them, and I cannot forcibly intervene at the moment.”

"I am here to help you."

Amidst the skeptical gazes of the crowd, Michael extended a finger, and a point of pure light condensed at his fingertip before flying toward Castio's forehead.

A wealth of information about exorcism arrays, holy seals, blessing rituals, the underlying principles of energy structure, and even their historical evolution was transmitted to the past without reservation.

"This knowledge itself is innocent; the key lies in the source of the power that drives it," Michael said, slowly retreating. "I hope this will be of some help to you."

Just as he had come, he vanished silently through the door, leaving behind a room full of bewildered people.

The knowledge provided by Michael was like the final piece of the puzzle, instantly clearing many obstacles in Sam and Castio's research.

“I see. The nodes of energy flow, the definition of expelling demonic souls.” Castio’s eyes gleamed with understanding as his fingers moved rapidly through the air, outlining a more concise and efficient rune structure.

“But the core problem remains!” Sam pointed to the crucial 'energy source' symbol in the center of the blueprint. “We can’t find a substitute. Where in this world is there a source of order comparable to Heaven?”

Dean, arms crossed, suddenly interjected, "Who says it has to be sacred? What we need to dispel is evil, and what we need to protect is humanity. Why can't we use the power of humanity itself?"

His words were like lightning, piercing through the fog.

Sam and Castio exchanged a glance, both seeing the light in each other's eyes.

“Human faith,” Sam murmured. “Could the vitality of the settlement, or even the determination and will to fight against the darkness, serve as energy?”

It is theoretically feasible, but requires an extremely powerful and compatible 'converter' and 'amplifier'.

This problem stumped them.

However, they have their own trump card – when in doubt, consult the chairman!
The group immediately tried to contact Wu Heng.

The communication was quickly established, and Wu Heng's figure appeared in the research room via holographic projection. After listening to Sam's excited explanation, he remained silent for a moment. "The idea is correct. The power of belief may seem scattered, but when gathered together, it can change the world." He nodded. "Since Heaven has closed the passage, we will build our own power source."

A moment later, a shadow emerged from the ground, and a piece of something was brought over by Death's butler.

This is a miniature tentacle, about the length of an adult's arm.

Its entire body has a dark metallic luster, but its surface flows with a faint light like the texture of a circuit board, while also exuding a shadowy aura.

It lay there quietly, neither sacred nor evil, but more like a pure and efficient tool.

“Try it!” Wu Heng’s voice came through the communication. “It is centered on my puppet evil spirit and can gather, integrate and amplify the power of belief that you have guided. It is a converter in itself.”

Without hesitation, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Using that severed evil tentacle as the core, combined with the knowledge framework provided by Michael and the array modified by Sam and Castio.

Soon, a new exorcism array was drawn up in the underground test field.

When the last rune was activated by Castio using his meager angelic power as a catalyst, the entire magic circle suddenly emitted an aura of 'ordinariness'!

The aura was strange, but it was perceptible.

It was no longer a dazzling, holy white light, but a calm, ordinary light with a faint hum, like a painting that had been warmed.

It exudes a reassuring aura that repels any supernatural presence that is malicious or chaotic.

"We did it!" Bobby couldn't help but shout.

“Let’s try using a demon!” Sam exclaimed excitedly. He used his telekinesis to pull over the demon that everyone had prepared and imprisoned.

After testing, the new exorcism array was found to be about 20% less effective than traditional arrays that rely on heavenly energy, but it was stable and reliable.

Most importantly, it is completely independent of the Heavenly system and is no longer subject to human control.

The Demon Hunter Guild quickly distributed the blueprints for the new formation, the connection method for the core tentacles, and related knowledge to all registered Demon Hunters.

The 'flame' was reignited, and this time, it burned fuel that belonged to humankind.

Just as the demon hunter community was beginning to struggle to adapt to the new era and learn and apply new technologies, Wu Heng had already set off.

His target this time was an ancient and powerful heretical god.

According to information sifted from various ancient texts and unusual energy fluctuations by 'Internet Addiction', this nature god is extremely low-key and exclusive.

It did not respond to Mercury's previous call to action for the 'Elysium Hotel', seemingly having absolute confidence in its own strength.

They believed they could remain unscathed from this apocalyptic storm, or even reap the benefits.

Wu Heng was not looking for it to 'recycle' it like other gods; he needed to obtain a special item from this deity.

Based on the pieced-together fragments of information, this nature god is referred to as the 'Sleeping Lord' or the 'Watcher'.

It is associated with the concepts of dreams, memories, and cohesion.

Wu Heng speculated that deep within its lair, there might exist a spring called 'Source Water'. (End of Chapter)
