Chapter 151 Global Information Gathering and the Church of Eclipse
Chapter 151 Global Information Gathering and the Church of Eclipse
The "Source of Twistedness" was completely overwritten and erased by Wang Bai using his imagination, and the Behelight discovered at its core became the new focus and hidden danger.
This dark red sphere, imbued with both extreme allure and ominousness, was sealed by Wang Bai with multiple rune barriers and brought back to the Hellsong headquarters for in-depth research.
However, the global blood cross crisis did not end with the elimination of one source.
However, the Hellsong Organization, through this operation and the existence of Behelight, has already determined its direction.
The group of people with superpowers split into several teams and traveled around the world to explore and gather relevant intelligence.
Wang Bai also tried to connect to the world of demi-humans, only to find that this world was like it was experiencing electromagnetic interference, and the opened channel was extremely unstable.
If it weren't for the help and location provided by the Imagination Tree, Wang Bai would probably have been lost in that void.
Wang Bai frowned. It seemed that if he wanted to leave this world, he would have to eliminate it first.
Under Integula Hellsing's coordination, a global intelligence network centered on Hellsing, integrating the remaining Vatican network, the Last Battalion's technical surveillance, and organizations of tenacious survivors around the world, began to operate at high speed.
Eastern European snowfields—
The remaining troops on the Polish border, codenamed "Ghosts of the Forest".
The Forest Ghost intercepted a tattered paper order while attacking a Blood Cross convoy transporting "Special Infected".
The order mentioned transporting the infected to an abandoned medieval fortress called "Kashtra" deep in the Carpathian Mountains, and emphasized the need to "keep the offerings alive and instill fear."
During a reconnaissance mission infiltrating the Kashtra fortress, the sole survivor brought back a crude pattern drawn in blood on a strip of cloth—a twisted spiral with a dark red, egg-shaped object at its center, strikingly similar to Behelit.
In his dying moments, he repeatedly roared: "They—hoo—ancient blood—Kashtra—are just—mirrors—"
Vatican archivists found in ancient heretical records that "Kashtra" means "mirror of truth" in local legend.
A secret cult once held a ceremony here in an attempt to "reflect" and connect with a distant "source of power".
Wang Bai sensed through Behelight that when his mental energy was focused on the name "Kashtra", Behelight would produce a faint resonance, but its direction seemed to be refracted, ultimately faintly pointing towards South America.
Kashtra is not the destination, but a "transfer station" or "resonance point" that is exploited.
South American rainforest—
Through high-altitude reconnaissance, the military discovered a rapidly expanding "dead zone" in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, with vegetation withering strangely, the landscape distorted, and energy readings abnormal.
The surviving biologists on the expedition provided a jumbled account and recordings.
He mentioned that the team discovered a pre-Columbian pyramid covered in vines and flesh in the center of the death zone.
Inside the pyramid, whispers of "dream-devouring" echoed, and the team members killed each other in hallucinations.
The recording ends with the biologist's terrified scream: "It's not there! It's somewhere else! The pyramids—pointing to—"
"Sakseman's arrow!"
Finally, the team's technical experts analyzed satellite images and energy readings, confirming that the energy fluctuation patterns in the rainforest dead zone were highly similar to those of Kernog Island.
But it's more subtle, more like a huge "energy absorption array" than a source.
The appearance of the name "Saksewaman" is directly related to the fragmented visions that Wang Bai obtained from Behelight.
The rainforest pyramids are believed to have served to gather and transfer energy, with the final receiving point being Sacsayhuaman in the Andes Mountains.
The Middle East contains remnants of Mossad agents, Kurdish militants, and a hard drive fragment from a destroyed extremist group.
The report states that leader Abu Najjar died under mysterious circumstances in his lair.
The on-site investigation revealed that he died suddenly while performing some kind of dark ritual; his body was shriveled, and his expression was frozen in extreme fear and longing.
The walls were covered with twisted spiral symbols drawn in his blood, and there was a clear, dark red scorch mark on the ground, as if it had been instantly burned by high temperature, the pattern of which was strikingly consistent with the spirals on the surface of Behelight.
During a raid, Kurdish forces seized some communications records, which repeatedly contained encrypted references to "the gaze of the hand of God will descend upon the summit of the Inca."
Among the data recovered from the hard drive fragments, an ancient stone rubbing depicting the constellations of the Andes Mountains was found, with an Arabic annotation that reads, "The key to the gate of destiny lies dormant here."
The presence of scorch marks confirms that Behelit or a similar item was used in the ritual.
Abu Najjar is likely trying to contact the "Hand of God" proactively.
But they failed and became sacrifices.
The references to "Summit of the Incas" and "Gate of Destiny" are extremely clear and perfectly align with the South American theme.
Wang Bai paid particular attention to this intelligence report, which clearly displayed the words "Hand of God".
Others may not know what this Hand of God is.
He thought it was something like the hand of the creator, or a symbol of some mysterious power, but Wang Bai knew exactly what this "Hand of God" was.
Hellsong quickly gathered intelligence, analyzing data from around the world and continuing to cross-reference and pinpoint the final location—a Far Eastern island nation.
The Japanese survivor organization "Ashihara" and an elderly Shinto scholar who lives in seclusion in Kyoto.
While cleaning up the area around Kyoto, "Ashihara" discovered a batch of Onmyoji scrolls from the late Heian period in a secret room of an abandoned shrine.
The scroll records a legend in a cryptic style: the "Demon Egg" from the "Other Shore of the Blood Sea" will appear in the world. The holder can use it to open the "Gate of Calamity" and attract the "Hand of the Non-Gods". The location of the "Gate of Calamity" points to "the huge stone city where the sun sets, the point where the dragon veins converge".
When interpreting the scroll, the old scholar combined ancient star charts and geographical records, pointing out that "the place where the sun sets" often referred to South America in ancient Japanese astrology, and that the descriptions of "giant stone city" and "the confluence of dragon veins" are highly consistent with the legend of Sacsayhuaman's megalithic architecture and its location at the node of the earth's veins.
The scroll describes the "Demon Egg" as dark red, spiral-shaped, and capable of granting wishes while bringing destruction—a description that perfectly corresponds to Behelit.
Ancient prophecies, transcending time and space, corroborate modern intelligence findings, ruling out the possibility of coincidence and greatly enhancing the credibility of the intelligence.
Under Wang Bai's leadership, all intelligence was placed on the huge electronic platform of the Hellsing command center for cross-comparison and in-depth analysis.
The "refraction" of Cashtra, the "pointing" of the rainforest pyramids, the "Inca Summit" in Middle Eastern intelligence, and the "giant stone city" in Far Eastern prophecies all point precisely or implicitly to the ruins of Cusco, Peru, and Sacsayhuaman.
At the ancient and powerful location of Sacsayhuaman, using the global Blood Cross catastrophe—which they may have even created—and sacrificing the immense despair and chaos it generates, they hold an unprecedented grand ceremony using Behelit as the key. Their aim is to summon the "Hand of God" or activate the "Eclipse" to achieve their goals.
I originally thought the world was affected by natural disasters, but I never imagined that the greater possibility was that it was caused by human error.
Humans are indeed adept at self-destruction.
Wang Bai was shocked by what he saw in these reports.
During the intelligence gathering process, it was discovered that not only were there threats from the Blood Cross Infected, but there was also the possibility of a hidden force hindering the Hellsong Organization's operations.
Among the numerous intelligence reports, they gradually learned the name of this hidden force.
The name first appeared in a reconstructed medieval Inquisition record from the Vatican's secret archives, when the sect was considered to be insane.
Subsequently, in the last batch of intercepted secret communications from a pre-war multinational corporation, clues were discovered about the sect's modern activities, suggesting that they were funding some fringe human and spiritual research.
Recently, survivor reports from different continents have mentioned the activities of mysterious figures dressed in black robes with simplified blood cross patterns branded on their faces.
They call themselves "Messengers of Eclipse," and while spreading chaos, they also seem to be purposefully "collecting" something.
All indications suggest that this "Church of Eclipse" is not an organization that emerged after the Blood Cross Crisis.
Instead, it is an ancient cult that has long existed and lurked in the shadows of human history, worshipping a being associated with Behelit and known as the "God of the Abyss" or the "Torrent of Fate."
The outbreak of the Blood Cross Plague is very likely the result of their long-planned ultimate sacrificial ritual!
Perhaps they borrowed technology from the Incubator civilization, or perhaps the Incubator civilization wanted to use this power but was ultimately turned against.
Their ultimate destination, which all clues point to, is likely the location where they conducted their final ritual in South America, deep in the Andes Mountains, in Peru—an ancient Inca megalithic site known as "Sacsayhuaman."
Legend has it that this place is "where heaven and earth meet," containing ancient and powerful forces. The geometric arrangement of its megalithic structures is believed to amplify energy and connect with unknown dimensions. Recent satellite monitoring has detected unusual energy convergence and spatial distortion phenomena in this region, which highly match the frequency fluctuations of Behelight.
Wang Bai stood in front of the huge electronic map in the Hellsing command center, his finger pointing heavily at Sachswaldman's location.
"It seems this is the final stage," he said in a deep voice, his gaze sharp. "The Church of Eclipse intends to use the sacrifices provided by Behelight and countless Blood Cross Infected there to complete their blasphemous ritual, to summon—the Hand of God, or something worse."
Integula's expression was grave: "We must stop them."
Alucard licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for a bloody feast: "Finally, a decent enemy."
Silas clenched his fist and nodded firmly.
A final expedition spanning the ocean, striking at the heart of the cult, and stopping the world-ending ritual is imminent.
Fortunately, after a long period of recuperation, coupled with the efforts of many powerful superhumans to clean up the land, Hellsong's economy has rapidly recovered and grown.
With the policy of prioritizing militarization, everyone has already acquired sufficient transoceanic capabilities.
The transport plane formation made its way across the Atlantic with difficulty, taking advantage of chaotic global weather and the remaining stealth technology.
As the majestic and desolate outline of the Andes Mountains came into view at the edge of the horizon, an invisible pressure enveloped everyone.
The closer we got to Cusco, the more bizarre the color of the sky became, taking on a sickly purplish-red hue.
Radio communications were severely disrupted, filled with incomprehensible whispers and shrieks that seemed to come from the abyss. Looking down from the porthole, the mountains and towns that should have been full of life were covered in many places with a layer of writhing, dark red "fungal carpet"—a highly dense area of blood cross infection.
"Energy readings have exceeded the limit! There is a strong spatial distortion phenomenon in the airspace ahead!"
We may not be able to fly directly to the target area!
The pilot gave a tense report.
"Find a landing site at a safe distance."
Integula calmly ordered, "We will proceed on foot."
The transport plane made a forced landing on a relatively flat plateau that had not yet been completely eroded.
The hatch opened, and a mixture of thin oxygen, gunpowder smoke, and a strong stench of decay hit us.
They have hidden their solar energy for too long.
As the creature landed, behind the surrounding rocks and sparse vegetation, a large number of blood-stained characters appeared, creating an infectious text.
Unlike those encountered before, these infected individuals wore an almost pious fanaticism on their faces.
Their actions became more coordinated, as if under unified command, and they charged towards the expeditionary force with a clear objective: they were protecting the road to the "holy land"!
"Fire! Purify these blasphemous nails!" Father Anderson took the lead, his Sainte-Baptiste transforming into silver light, tearing apart the infected texts charging at the forefront.
The existence of the Vatican acts like a lighthouse, inspiring its warriors to sing hymns, constructing a temporary sacred realm, and exerting continuous suppression on the infected.
The Hellsong warriors, relying on the terrain, used precise firepower to eliminate enemies attempting to flank them.
Silas transformed into the Grim Reaper of the battlefield; each roar of his giant spear signified the crushing of a powerful mutant.
However, the number of infected people seems endless, and among them are even more unprecedented variants.
The battle was exceptionally fierce, and every step forward came at a heavy price.
Wang Bai did not participate much in clearing away the miscellaneous things, but focused his energy on perceiving and breaking through the more subtle spatial illusions and energy traps laid by the "Church of Eclipse" on the road ahead.
These traps are not simply for killing; they are more for buying time and leading intruders into more dangerous areas.
Alucard, meanwhile, strolled leisurely, occasionally sweeping away large groups of enemies in unbelievable ways, or simply "devouring" those troublesome special mutants.
Ba's gaze finally turned to the direction of Sachs-Wahman, and the aura emanating from there brought him a long-lost sense of "pleasure".
"They are stalling for time."
After deciphering a complex energy node, Wang Bai said in a deep voice, "The ritual has begun. I can feel Behemoth's resonance intensifying."
