I, Lord of Prayer

"I saw it... I saw it..."

"Everyone will die! Everyone will die! You will all die!"

On the chaotic street, a man in a disheveled suit was frantically shouting at the fleeing crowd. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he froze on the spot, mouth agape, his face, with his glasses askew, showing an expression of disbelief.

Zhou Chen gestured for Eileen to stop, his gaze fixed warily on her. His senses told him that she was an Ascended Being, but her behavior was like that of a madman, likely driven insane by mental pollution.

"You...you..." The man raised his hand, pointing tremblingly at Eileen, his expression filled with fear, as if he had seen something incredibly terrifying.

Eileen looked completely bewildered.

"Stay away from her...stay away from her! Don't go near her! Stay away from her, she's dangerous!"

The man roared incoherently and stepped forward to try to pull Zhou Chen away.

Zhou Chen shoved the man's shoulder, sending him flying several meters away before he tumbled to the ground in a disheveled state.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly hurt, and after a moment of confusion, his vision was filled with a thick blood-red color.

—That was a blood-red light that enveloped the entire city.

The men and passersby were all covered in a crimson stain, like fresh blood.

A shocking crimson hue coalesced into a sea of ​​blood, almost completely covering every inch of space, surging and turbulent, seemingly foreshadowing impending disaster. 🐼♡ ❻9şĤǗＸ.ⓒόⓂ 🍮♪

Zhou Chen's heart pounded: "This is...!"

"I am an outer ascendant of the Star Society. My ability is the [Eye of Fortune], which allows me to see everyone's fortune for a period of time." The man got up from the ground, regaining some composure.

He hurriedly put on his glasses, panting as he looked at Zhou Chen: "I just temporarily shared my 'vision' with you through physical contact. Now look at the woman next to you."

Zhou Chen turned to look at Eileen, and Tong Kong suddenly contracted.

The ominous crimson light, so intense it turned blood black and as deep as ink, enveloped Eileen, overflowing with calamity, so dense it seemed about to materialize and drip out.

"I have never seen such a terrible fate since I awakened my abilities... She is doomed, she is doomed..." The man trembled with fear.

"And what about me?"

  

Zhou Chen looked down at himself. This ability seemed unable to see the user's own fortune, but if he 'shared' his vision, others could see his fortune.

"You're the same...you're the same..."

In the man's eyes, Zhou Chen was also surrounded by a deep, blood-black aura, a sign that his life was nearing its end!

"If you stay away from her, you might still have a chance to live. Don't stay with her anymore; she spreads bad luck and kills everyone around her. Anyone who stays near her is doomed!"

The man hurriedly backed away, then screamed and ran away.

"Mr. Zhou Chen..." Eileen tugged at Zhou Chen's sleeve fearfully, hesitating as if she wanted to say something.

"Don't take it to heart. Jiang Che and the others were prepared, so it's impossible for them to cause too many casualties. That person was only at the first level, and the [Eye of Destiny] is a metaphysical ability with significant limitations; what they see isn't necessarily accurate." Zhou Chen held her hand and comforted her, "Let's go back to the Star Gathering first; it'll be safe then."

The words had barely left his mouth when, boom!

In a distant park, amidst billowing smoke and dust, a giant gray tree rose from the ground. It grew rapidly at a visible speed, soon surpassing the height of the nearby office building, coldly stretching its massive body, with countless leaves proliferating and sprouting.

The lifeless, gray canopy of trees blocked out the sun, exuding an aura of decay. On the thick trunks, the cracked lines formed menacing abyssal incantations. Any area shrouded in the shade of the trees would become abyssal, and any creatures within it that did not possess extraordinary power would be quickly assimilated by the power of the abyss, mutated and infected into abyssal beings.

Amidst the deafening roar of the earthquake, which resembled a mountain collapsing, towering, grey trees shot skyward.

Large amounts of soil, concrete blocks, and building debris fell from the sky like raindrops.

The summoning ceremony was initiated as the pollution sources fully erupted.

The thirteen ritual arrays set up throughout Golden Bamboo suddenly lit up, and the dark torrents surging from the arrays became perfect fuel for the Chaos Fire. Thirteen clusters of hellfire rose and exploded, illuminating the entire Golden Bamboo.

With their interplay, dark lines of molten lava burst forth, rushing in all directions. Everything in their path, from buildings and trees to streets, was mercilessly swallowed up, turning into lifeless scorched earth. In an instant, the thirteen ritual arrays were connected and intersected by these lines of fire, eventually linking up to the main array.

"It has reached its zenith!"

"This is the darkest day yet!"

Li Xiaoxiao screamed wildly. She was dressed in a black robe and stood in the empty playground of Jinzhu University. Her beautiful face was covered with evil marks, and her eyes had no whites, only black evil fire burning fiercely.

She opened her arms and started the summoning ritual with a big laugh.

In an instant, the sky darkened.

The earth trembled, and space shattered like glass, forming a huge void, as if tearing open a passage to another world.

There is only darkness on the other side of the gates of hell.

A bottomless darkness. (uureading)

But if you look closely, you can see that the darkness is writhing and burning wildly.

—That is the Chaos Purgatory, the divine kingdom of the Chaos King.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden box on the altar, reached out and wiped away the sealing ritual on the box, and with a click, easily opened it.

The curse sealed within burst forth.

The viscous darkness flowed out, spread, expanded, and turned into rolling blackness. Amidst the roar of the raging flood, it rolled wildly and extended endlessly in all directions, quickly submerging the playground of Jinzhu University and overflowing into the outside world.

"Help us... It's so cold here... It's so dark here... Help us... Help us..."

The desperate cries of thousands, even tens of thousands of the dead were mixed in, forming a cacophony of cacophony.

Chaotic flames rose from Li Xiaoxiao's body, blocking the arms that tried to pull her into the darkness.

Since there was no way to secretly smuggle the items out,

So why not choose the most straightforward and simplest method?

—Let the great King of Chaos come and take it himself!

Admittedly, the King of Chaos could not personally descend as a god; the risk would be too great.

But all it takes is a projection, plus a few loyal henchmen, to bring the item back safely.

Behind the gates of hell, a massive, menacing silhouette, as large as a mountain range, appeared—the vanguard was already stirring.

However, at that moment, a strange change occurred, accompanied by a holy light and a magnificent hymn sung by ten thousand people.

In Jinzhu City, a radiant angel descended.

With a blazing halo above his head, sixteen pure white wings behind him, and a blazing holy sword in his hand, he resembled a holy angel of judgment from mythology.

At the moment of descent, the angel stretched out its arm toward the playground of Jinzhu University.
