Alone and Infinite

Without hesitation, he slashed his wrist with a dagger, letting the blood drip into the golden bowl.

He opened his arms and looked up at the gray sky.

He roared with wild laughter:

"Blood Sacrifice. Blood God!!"

Chapter 219 Destiny

Accompanied by Gulag's maniacal laughter.

Dark clouds churned in the gray sky, and a blood-red light shot into the heavens.

The entire sky was bathed in an unsettling dark red.

The blood-red clouds seemed to be stirred, slowly beginning to rotate around the pillar of light.

Gulag closed his eyes, as if the whole world was before him.

He was filled with a frenzied joy, as if it was about to overflow from his body.

He slowly lowered his head and poured the blood from the ceremonial golden bowl onto the ground.

Watching the blood roll on the ground like mercury.

Gulagk slowly knelt before the crimson pillar of light.

What a wonderful world!

"Chao! Blood sacrifice. Blood god?"

With its mouth wide open, the dragon's two whiskers curled up nimbly as it scratched the top of its head.

It is no longer the 'outdated Azure Dragon' it was when it was first resurrected.

It's practically a yellow card now!

Teacher Ao is very familiar with those widely circulated memes!

"He's offering a sacrifice to Khorne? Wait a minute, wasn't Khorne whipped into a coward by the Temple of Light?"

Awoo turned its head to look at Li Xia, its little paws rubbing its chin:

"Moreover, Your Highness seems to be more favored by Khorne. If Khorne does come down, who knows who will receive this blessing?"

Li Xia looked at the little dragon, whose joke had already stuck in her head, speechless.

Unexpectedly, Awoo became more and more energetic as he spoke: "Khorne is actually somewhat inclined to the role of a war god. Your Highness, your melee style, especially killing Baal with your fists, is exactly what Khorne likes."

"Guge is not summoning Khorne."

Seeing that the roar was getting stronger and stronger, Li Xia shook his head and interrupted its output.

"Huh? No? After the blood sacrifice to the Blood God, isn't the skull offering and skull seat below?"

Li Xia was about to speak when she suddenly turned her head to the side.

A man strolled over slowly, hands in his pockets, and wisely stopped about 20 meters away—a distance that was barely considered safe for an apostle.

"I meant no harm, buddy."

The person waved his hand, his face showing lingering fear and relief at surviving a close call.

"I just want to chat with someone."

He stretched out his hand, pinching his index finger and thumb together: "Can you understand that feeling of being so close, so close to rushing in?"

"Ah."

Li Xia knew what he was talking about. Some people, after suffering a great shock, will be shaken and will involuntarily feel the urge to confide in others.

They need to speak out and release their emotions.

Apostles are human too, at least second-tier apostles are; they are just a little stronger, nothing more.

Not all the onlookers rushed forward; at least a few apostles remained where they were for various reasons and survived.

To be honest, given the current situation in the square, the scene of more than two hundred apostles being trapped at the same time is indeed quite frightening.

The apostle who arrived did not introduce himself, nor did he seem to care too much about what Li Xia was thinking.

He seemed to be venting his shock, talking to himself:

"I can tell, they are the people from the Eternal Night Pilgrimage. They are all madmen, vampires, perverts who like to capture young girls in dungeons to be their blood slaves."

He should be the guild leader of the Eternal Night Pilgrimage Guild in the sacrificial legends—the Blood God.

"These lunatics"

He lowered his head and muttered something, letting out a long breath, his emotions much calmer:

"I feel much better now. By the way, friend, here's a piece of advice: you'd better hurry up and leave, run far away."

Find an opportunity to quickly complete the task and leave.

I know a little about magic circles; it's a kind of sacrificial summoning circle. Who knows what might come out of it later.

After saying that, he waved his hand and left without looking back.

Awoo watched his departing figure and asked softly:

"Your Highness, should we—"

Li Xia did not answer, but silently looked in the direction of the square.

At first, the apostles who came to Demon Prison Star for the first time cautiously explored this brand new world.

They followed the guidance of the Temple of Light, exploring little by little.

Until an apostle accidentally discovered the secret of Sunset City Square.

At its peak, this city had a population of over a million and was a city of mages.

They gathered here to learn, research, and explore the mysteries and truths of magic.

He was also a fervent supporter of ascension ceremonies.

That square was the site of the ascension ceremony for Sunset City.

Upon learning this secret, the Eternal Night Pilgrimage began a long and arduous scheme.

The ranch of the Temple of Light is too large, and the probability of entering the Demon Prison Star is extremely low.

And so, year after year, every member of the Eternal Night Pilgrimage Guild who entered Demon Prison Star completed their work.

They quietly accumulated resources and gradually figured out the situation in the square.

The ritual platform, which was originally inscribed with an ascension array, was modified.

"Look, this is destiny, this is an unavoidable fate."

Guge stared at the towering, blood-red pillar of light before him, only the information he had once read slowly flowing through his mind.

How can it not be fate?

He marveled at the wonder of fate.

If this plaza weren't a super ascension array itself, only a few nodes would need to be changed.

How could an individual possibly construct a sacrificial summoning array with such power?

If it weren't for the extremely high-grade ritual items on the ceremonial platform, they could still be used.

How does he obtain items of the light orange grade?

Incidentally, these props can also be used as bait to attract apostles who can satisfy the ritual.

If this world itself hadn't already held an ascension ceremony, it would be right between the second and third tiers.

It is in a superimposed abnormal state.

How could he summon monsters that surpass the second tier?

Gulagg calls these things fate.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with fervor, and even brimming with tears.

He saw his 'fate' coming.

Next, the apostles will become sacrifices, and the great Blood God will command His loyal servants to answer the call.

Top-tier Tier 3 monsters will become his sharpest weapons.

There will be no being on the entire Demon Prison Star who can rival a Tier 3 peak monster.

And I—will lead the summoned Tier 3 monsters to reap the entire world!

Hundreds of Crimson Keys, treasure chests dropped by Overlord-level and even King-level bosses.

He will conquer the entire Demon Prison Star and seize all its resources!

This is the starting point for the Eternal Night Pilgrimage Guild to take another step forward, and it is also the starting point for Gulagg to become the supreme agent of the Temple!

The apostle, imprisoned in place by the sacrificial array, looked in despair at the figure in the distance who seemed like a madman.

Wisps of blood mist drifted from their bodies and disappeared into the massive blood-red pillar in the center of the plaza.

You should be thankful—

Guge slowly walked over, his white ceremonial robes stained with specks of blood.

It was as if a bloody massacre had just taken place.

He looked at the apostle, whose only remaining ability was to move his eyes.

Feel the emotions contained in their gazes: anger, resentment, coldness, murderous intent, pleading, and despair.

These emotions were like fuel for the fire in his heart.

He had never felt so clearly what 'power' and 'life and death' meant.

These powerful apostles are now like a flock of lambs to the slaughter!

Gulag even saw many familiar faces among them, all of whom were top 100 players in the arena.

He suddenly thought of Xia, and a sense of regret welled up in his heart.

Unfortunately, this strongest dog had a very keen sense of smell and managed to escape.

Otherwise, he would be in a much better mood now. But it doesn't matter. After the blood sacrifice is over, he will bring the pet bestowed by the Blood God.

Clean up this world thoroughly, extract all its value, and with unprecedented gains, ascend to the third tier!

Gulagge sat down leisurely, and he even had the leisure to have his gilded high-backed chair brought down.

Sitting right in front of these apostles, he didn't notice that among the temporary team of apostles who had been secretly killed not far away, the walkie-talkie he had given himself was flashing green.

With a contented smile, Gulagg crossed his legs and said:

"I'm glad I still have value as a Bloody Key, otherwise if I released my control, most of you would be dried into dry bodies in an instant."

He gave a 'sad' smile:

"In order to allow you to live a little longer, I had to slow down the rate at which the magic array was drawing your life force."

It is about gradually absorbing from each and every one of them on an average basis.

Look, I am so kind.”

The emotions in those gazes changed, becoming angry and filled with murderous intent.

Guge chuckled softly:

"I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about the Temple of Light's interference?"

Some gazes became filled with doubt and uncertainty, while others were as lifeless and dull as death.

Those who think the temple will interfere are mostly individual people or small teams.
