Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Lewis stared at the menacing teeth, the splattered green blood, the strange scales covering its entire body, sharp as claws with hooks.

But all of this inhumanity was now growing on a body with a human face, constantly challenging his weak and narrow worldview.

At this moment, Lewis's eyes gradually widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if some force was tearing at his spirit, gradually abandoning all his current distress, to embrace a brand new world, a free world where he didn't need to think about anything.

Just as he was about to embrace that world, he suddenly heard faint footsteps.

With a determined mind, he struggled to restrain his mad thoughts. He turned his head with difficulty to look in the direction from which the footsteps came, only to see a group of five people dressed in black robes who had suddenly appeared near the dock.

The group of five appeared to consist of two women and three men, led by two women.

The two women's faces were indistinguishable, but even though one of them was completely wrapped in a robe, her voluptuous and juicy body, combined with her innate allure, still gave people a very strong visual impact.

“You are…” Before Lewis could finish speaking, the woman with the witch-like figure suddenly raised her hand.

In an instant, a terrifyingly cold wind, unlike anything Lewis had ever experienced before, swept through.

At that moment, Lewis even felt as if he was about to freeze to death.

The biting cold, like countless greedy insects, seeped through his skin, gradually devouring all the heat in his body, making him feel as if he was gradually leaving the ranks of the living and arriving in an unknown realm.

He didn't know how much time had passed. When Lewis came to his senses, he was surprised to find that he was not dead, but his body was frozen stiff and very inflexible.

In front of him was a frozen path about two meters long, leading directly to the riverbank.

Following the frozen path, Lewis's eyes narrowed to their absolute limit.

At this moment, the five fierce-looking youths seemed to be frozen in place by the terrifying cold.

Through the ice crystals, Lewis could even see their calm and composed faces, their hands gripping their weapons, and the wounds from the monster attacks, their skin torn open.

They seemed to be frozen in an instant without any warning.

Frozen along with them were the monsters, half of whom had already been killed.

"This...this..." Seeing this scene, Lewis felt like he was suffocating.

Because all of this was something he couldn't understand at all.

This has far exceeded the limits that the concept of humanity can reach.

Just as he was barely clinging to life, he heard the voices of that group of people.

“Ms. Sheena, the area has been completely cleared out. There are no witnesses.”

"Okay, continue the expulsion, and we'll call it a day once we've completely withdrawn."

"clear."

Lewis turned his head with difficulty and saw the two women standing in front of the ice sculpture.

At this moment, the woman with the devilish figure asked, "Shouldn't we kill them all?"

"Killing them wouldn't be good; this is exactly the effect we want—to keep them guessing about our true intentions."

“There seems to be another one alive over there, with shackles on his hands. He doesn’t look like he’s with them. I’ll leave him alive.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yishun immediately felt like a mouse being targeted by a cat. His frozen body suddenly shivered, causing the chains to vibrate and clang against each other.

"It's over!" In that instant, Lewis was utterly desperate.

He already knew how terrifying these inhuman beings were. He thought he could play dead and escape, but he never expected that everything was under their control.

Chapter 0210 The Role of Lewis

While Lewis was feigning death, Sheena had already come up to him, looked down at this ordinary man who was now trembling, and asked, "Why did they arrest you?"

Lewis raised his head slightly and saw Hina's pretty face under her hood.

"I"

After less than a second of hesitation, Lewis decided not to lie and to tell the whole truth.

"Judging from what just happened, this group of people are not government officials. They came here with a special purpose. From their perspective, they have no need to arrest me."

"Besides, now that I've become a witness, the only way for me to survive is to join them!"

"If you want to join, then you absolutely cannot lie!"

Then, in a shivering voice, Lewis said, "My name is Burren Lewis, and I am a recently escaped convict."

“Bren Lewis?” Sheena frowned slightly upon hearing this name, indicating that she had never heard of him.

Minnie walked over and said, "Since they're criminals, let's just kill them."

As soon as she finished speaking, flames burst forth from her hands.

When Lewis saw this, his body felt as if it had been stung by something. His heart started racing, and blood rushed to his brain, putting it into a state of accelerated activity.

"Wait! Don't kill me! I know an important secret! Once you know this secret, you can get a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Sheena immediately raised her hand to stop Minnie's attack: "Ms. Minnie, don't kill him yet."

Minnie put her hand away and asked, "What? He's just stalling for time and trying to create a change in circumstances, which isn't good for us."

Sheena raised her hand and knocked Lewis unconscious, handing him over to the ghoul next to her so he could carry him on his back.

Then, Sheena turned and explained, “I saw hatred and anger in his eyes, which means he’s a man with a story. Arkham needs stories like that now, because we can dig out a lot of what we need from them.”

Upon hearing this, Minnie couldn't help but take a second look at Sheena: "I didn't realize you had such insight."

Sheena smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. Let's go! This mission is now complete."

Minnie turned to look at the ice sculptures. The five young people who were frozen were not dead, but in a state of suspended animation.

After about three hours, the ice will gradually melt away, and they will only be temporarily unable to move, but will not be in any danger to their lives.

The other monsters, on the other hand, would have been frozen to death.

"That guy's method is really useful," Minnie thought to herself as she looked down at her palms.

In the afternoon, Lilith did teach her some methods of controlling her abilities, as well as some special knowledge about how to regulate the body's muscle and nerve responses.

By combining this knowledge, not to mention its power, the precision of her control over ice and fire has improved by at least 30% compared to before.

"Where did this woman get so much knowledge? Is she the mayor?" Minnie thought to herself as she followed Sheena back to the woods north of Howling Town.

With a piercing shriek, the other seven ghouls quickly returned, and the group then took a car and drove directly back to Arkham.

Lewis didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he groggily woke up, the first thing he heard was the sound of a tiger roaring in the wind.

He groggily opened his eyes and found himself placed in a corner of the vehicle.

The moon has risen in space; it looks like it's around 8 p.m.

There were nine young people sitting in the carriage at that time.

The nine young men sat there, chatting and laughing, like a group of simple workers dreaming of a bright future.

"How did I get here? I remember."

As his thoughts gradually returned, Lewis suddenly straightened up after recalling the flames and frost.

But the moment he made that unusual movement, the carriage fell silent.

Glug!

Lewis tensed up instantly and swallowed hard.

In the pitch-black carriage, nine pairs of eyes, glowing with a scarlet light, stared at him with coldness and rage.

Those simple, honest workers instantly transformed into terrifying monsters cloaked in human skin.

Having already risked everything, Lewis, with a death wish, asked in a low voice, "Where is this? Where are we going?"

At this moment, the black-haired youth sitting next to him said calmly, "We'll arrive in Arkham in fifteen minutes."

“Arkham!?” Upon hearing this, Lewis’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"We're going to Arkham!?" Lewis struggled to sit up and asked excitedly.

Another young man with a cigarette in his mouth said, "Kid, you're lucky to have caught Ms. Sheena's eye and not been killed. Don't get too excited yet. We in Arkham never keep useless people. You'd better prove your worth in fifteen minutes."

Upon hearing this, Lewis said with great excitement, "No problem! No problem! I know many secrets! As long as you are willing to accept me, I am willing to give you everything I have."

"By the way! I used to be a successful banker. If you'd like, I can provide you with financial and tax services free of charge!"

"Banker?" The group exchanged glances, indicating they didn't know anything about this.

After confirming his temporary safety, Lewis's mind began to work, and he tentatively asked, "Which organization do you belong to? I can think about what kind of help we can provide to your organization."

"An organization?" Everyone was taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on their lips.

Lewis continued, "You must be one of those organizations that doesn't quite follow the rules, right? From what I understand, for your organization to operate smoothly, the first thing you need to do is launder your illegally obtained money so that you can operate safely."

"I have a successful money laundering method and channel that can definitely help your organization!"

After hearing this, a brief silence fell over the carriage.

This silence immediately made Lewis feel uncertain.

"Did I say something wrong?" Lewis asked tentatively.

A few seconds later, Lewis suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"Hey! Brothers, did you hear that? Our 'organization' actually needs to launder money?! Hahaha!"

"Haha! How interesting, our Arkham city government actually needs to launder money!"

Hahaha!

Amidst a burst of laughter, Lewis was momentarily stunned.

"Arkham City Government!?"

Chapter 0211 Preparations for the Audience

The night in Arkham was quiet, even eerily quiet.

It seems that the hustle and bustle of the past few days has made this ancient city somewhat weary, and it has deliberately fallen into this tranquil slumber in order to gain a rare peace.

Those who were thinking ahead seemed to have vaguely understood this principle, and therefore they all appeared unusually well-behaved tonight.

Because they all knew very well that waking up this sleeping behemoth would be a terrifying thing.

When Lewis arrived, he felt somewhat out of place in the tranquil Arkham, because it was different from the town he had imagined.

Although it felt unexpected, for some reason, Lewis felt a special sense of security at this moment, as if he had really escaped from that hell and come to a paradise that could accept him.
