Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 41 041 Terrible Speculation
"But now that you think about it... System, did you find anything else when you went looting?"

Tang pondered for a moment and asked the system a question in his mind.

A mid-sequence Beyonder would cause a high-sequence Beyonder to instinctively become alert, which in itself was abnormal.

The devil's spiritual intuition is quite terrifying, but apart from trembling, he does not take any other action, which obviously goes against the typical characteristics of the extraordinary people of the Abyss Path.

He had some suspicion that the mid-sequence was a vessel for the dark side of the universe to descend, or that it was carrying something from the dark side of the universe.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a middle sequence to make a high sequence give way.

So, in this case, would there be anything left behind from the things he passed on?
"No anomalies," the system said. "Nothing related to the Abyss was detected."

The remnants of the power of the Night Path were deliberately preserved and strengthened by the system. If there was contamination from other pathways, it could be scanned out by a high-sequence-level 'Craftsman' module.

However, no power related to the level of the True God of the Abyss was found in the "Never-Ending Theater".

Don't care? Or just can't?

On the dark side of the universe, the earliest historical record of this evil god can be traced back to the Second Age, an ancient god called the Demon King Fabuti.

No, the point is not the true identity of the Dark Side of the Universe, but His state.

"What's wrong?" Owen asked when he saw Tang was in deep thought.

"Tell me, what does the dark side of the universe want with those puppets in the theater?"

The drama unfolded in Tingen. If the Church did not react and sent in high-sequence Beyonders to try to seal it, the worst-case scenario would be that everyone in Tingen would become a puppet.

From the perspective of mysticism, the puppets are already dead, but from the perspective of ritual, standing from the standpoint of offering sacrifices, the puppets can breathe, have their own thoughts, have intact spirits, and have blood flowing in their bodies, and they still meet the standards of blood sacrifice.

"Sacrificing the puppet's blood is more secretive than triggering a large-scale massacre that would draw the attention of High-Sequence Beyonders. It can even block the spirit world's theater, which is obviously easier to achieve."

Large-scale massacres, ritualistically, within the demonic realm, are a manifestation of praying for power from higher powers.

And sometimes… Owen said, “Maybe they want to summon a high-level demon?”

"That's a possibility... But what good would it do them if a high-sequence demon descended upon Tingen?" Tang denied Owen's speculation. He looked at the poetry collection on the table and muttered to himself, "The True God of the Abyss Path has been in poor condition..."

This information was not available to them at this level, but Tang knew it clearly.

He and the Bound God are called the Shame of the True God. They were captured and contaminated by foreign things. They wanted to resist, but they had no strong power, no powerful allies, and were in poor condition.

Not in good condition... Not in good condition, so what is the purpose of performing a blood sacrifice?
Pray to a more powerful abyss monster? Pray to a true god? No, blood sacrifices of ordinary people, no matter how many, would not have the power to do so. For a true god, quantitative change is unlikely to lead to qualitative change.

From a ritualistic perspective, the ritual that allows a high-sequence demon to descend...

Sequence 0, Abyss.

The rules of play tend to be corrupted, cursed, in poor condition, contaminated, wanting to descend, and praying to the higher-ups...

Holy shit, is he planning to bring that child-bearing thing to Tingen to share his burdens?!

Respond to the ritual and throw down the contaminated part of yourself.

Righteous gods, you don't care, right? You want to make life difficult for me, right? Come on, make life difficult for everyone! Let's all get excited! All your followers are dead, and the pollution is coming. I don't know if you will do anything about it!
Tang was so frightened by his own guess that he almost caused the secret doll beside him to lose control. He calmed down and thought about his guess, and his face turned pale involuntarily.

"No, even if it's possible, this possibility..."

This is too scary. This no longer involves the level of Sequence 2 angels. If this possibility really happens... Tingen will be wiped out!
Is the dark side of the universe desperately trying to find a cure? Is his condition truly so dire that he wants others to suffer along with him?
"Where are you going?" Owen frowned as he saw Tang's face turning purple. "Writing a letter." Tang strode forward, his steps more swift than usual.

He wants to write a letter of denunciation to the Orthodox Church!
Report that someone here is promoting feudal superstition and performing blood sacrifices!
Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Have all those old men and angels come out and search all of Loen for this lunatic from the Blood Cult!

Tang felt a chill. If something really broke through the blockade of the Seven Gods, the consequences would be extremely terrible.

The body of an evil god? A polluted body?
Just seeing it, just imagining it, just existing there represents absolute madness and indescribableness!

This could lead to the destruction of a country!

Tang walked out of the study and took a deep breath.

"system."

'Host, I am here.'

"Let's check where the middle sequence in Tingen that used 'Never-Ending Theater' went."

"It will take some time... Failed. There is interference from a higher power!"

'Try again... failed, there is interference from a higher power!'

No, even if they had lost most of their power, the items brought by the God or the middle sequence could not contaminate the angel-level seal, and their status also instinctively resisted the system's search.

Just like when identifying those secret puppets in the theater, even if it consumed a high-sequence Beyonder characteristic, the system would find it difficult to find the true body, even if the other party's information existed in the spiritual world.

"Perhaps, eating a true god, or the uniqueness, will be enough..."

But should he go and fight the God of Craftsmen alone now? Or should he go and find the hidden sage who was hiding somewhere?
"That's not impossible."

"Don't cause trouble."

'Oh……'

On the system's side, even if he had enough fragments of knowledge, he could do nothing. The interference of high-level forces made it completely unable to locate the other party, and even knowing whether the other party was in Tingen was a problem.

"I hope this guess is wrong."

Tang felt a toothache.

The evil god on the dark side of the universe still exists in the Fifth Epoch. Logically, it is far from a time of desperate struggle. I hope he is just overthinking it.

But even so, before informing the church, Tang immediately found his father and told him his guess.

The knowledge of the High-Sequence Beyonders was far broader than he had guessed. However, after listening to Tang's explanation, Owen and Baron Ramde, who had followed him, fell into a rare silence.

In fact, this is not completely impossible.

"I will investigate this matter." Baron Ramde said in a deep voice, "Don't leave here for the time being."

"I'll inform the church..."

Although it was a bit strange, the God of Death and the Goddess of Night were absolutely hostile to each other, but when it came to the evil god, extreme terror, and millions of people, Baron Ramde, who still had some humanity, spoke in a low voice.
