Chapter 116: God's Descent Ritual

Although the High Priest's words almost overturned Lottie's worldview and beliefs, the news of her sister still shook Lottie's heart, and she couldn't help but follow along.

However, when she followed the other party to the place where her sister was supposed to be, Lottie soon froze in place.

It was a dilapidated temple that seemed quite antiquated.

The walls on both sides of the temple vaguely showed ancient and mysterious mural paintings depicting scenes of worshiping Gods. The worshipers in the paintings wore uniform robes, with pointed teeth barely visible at the corners of their mouths, all of them were Bloodbornes.

As for the God, it was unclear.

Only THEIR ancient and majestic throne could be seen clearly beneath THEM, still exuding a sense of majesty and grandeur after who knows how many years.

Obviously, this was a temple of some ancient God from the Bloodborne race.

Lottie wasn't very interested in this.

In fact, she didn't even bother to look closely at the temple. After entering, her gaze naturally fell on the altar in the center of the temple.

It was a rather terrifying altar, with layers of crimson pages plastered on its base, giving off an eerie horror feeling, while layers of fleshy lumps and veins were attached to it.

The veins pulsated and intertwined, gathering above the altar, connected to a swollen and hideous mass of flesh.

No, rather than calling it a mass of flesh, it was more like a "pedestal" composed of octopus-like tentacles, surrounding a huge, grotesque eye in the center.

Oh God!

What on earth is this thing?!

Lottie was stunned.

And soon, the High Priest gave Lottie an answer that she couldn't believe.

"This is your sister."

Sister?!

Lotti's eyes widened.

"No... you're lying to me!"

The High Priest didn't answer. Instead, he chuckled lightly and said to the closed eyeball.

"Marie, your sister is here to see you."

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, the ugly eyeball trembled slightly.

The wrinkled eyelids twisted slightly, revealing a human face, contorted in extreme pain.

"Sister... Marie!?"

Lottie instantly recognized her sister's face and rushed over.

The giant eyeball struggled for a while, desperately trying to open its eyes, but in the end, it only trembled slightly, unable to do anything.

"What's wrong with my sister? What have you done to her?!"

Lottie looked at the High Priest, trembling with anger, her voice suppressed with rage.

The High Priest smiled faintly.

"No, Miss Lottie, it's not what I did. Your sister has become like this, because of you."

"Because of me?"

Lottie was dumbfounded.

"Yes."

The High Priest nodded.

He looked at the trembling eyeball, with a look of intoxication, as if admiring the most beautiful piece of art.

"Ten years ago, Count Castell and his wife disrupted our God's Descent plan, causing it to fail... However, it wasn't a complete failure. Although the Flame Demon was sealed, and the Divine Vessel Reconstruction Ritual was interrupted, we unexpectedly obtained this Demon Eye..."

"God's Descent?! You... you're not summoning the Flame Demon!"

Lotti widened her eyes.

The High Priest sneered.

"Summoning the Flame Demon? Heh!"

"If it were just to summon a legendary Flame Demon, it wouldn't have been worth all the trouble for me..."

As he spoke, he looked at the trembling eyeball and continued.

"The Divine Vessel Reconstruction failed, it ended up on the brink of death, and lost the possibility of containing the Lord's descent..."

"However, the Demon Eye is a creature that matches the power of our Lord, but cannot exist for long in the world of Myria..."

"Hehe, so I came up with a bold plan..."

"Since that's the case, why not let them merge, and then use the power of the cursed pages to reshape it, creating a new Divine Vessel for our Lord?"

Merge... Merge?!

Lottie was dumbfounded.

Feeling the trembling in her heart, the High Priest smiled meaningfully, whispering in her ear.

"Yes, merge..."

"Countess Brois, what's in front of you is your sister, a fusion with the demon..."

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Lottie felt dizzy, almost falling down.

She stared blankly at the terrifying eyeball in front of her and her heart trembling.

She knew, she had always known.

Ten years ago, she was supposed to be the main sacrifice, but her sister discovered her father's anomaly and stepped forward to replace her.

Otherwise, it would have been her suffering right now.

Feeling Lottie's inner pain, the High Priest's smile became even more radiant.

He whispered softly in Lottie's ear, continuing.

"Unfortunately, the soul of the Divine Vessel still exists."

"After the initial fusion, she refused to use the power of the Demon Eye and further merge with it, which has been preventing our plan from being implemented..."

"She has never cooperated with us until you appeared."

As he spoke, the High Priest looked at Lottie, smiling meaningfully.

"Hehe, Miss Lottie, I really have to thank you."

"In order to help you cover up your traces of saving those girls, your sister finally agreed to use the power of the Demon Eye."

"You have saved those girls from the claws of the Dreaming Salon time and time again, and she has repeatedly helped you clean up using the 'Dream' power of the Demon Eye..."

"You thought your actions were flawless, but little did you know... someone has been bearing the burden for you behind the scenes."

"Thank you. After all these years, with your help, she has finally merged completely with the Demon Eye."

"With your help, she has become the monster she didn't want to be."

Thump!

Lottie fell to the ground.

Her face turned pale and her lips trembled.

"No... no..."

"No!"

"I didn't think like this... I didn't want this!"

Finding and saving her sister had been Lottie's spiritual pillar for so many years.

And at this moment, upon hearing such truth from the High Priest, she collapsed.

Black smoke billowed from behind Lottie, an evil, corrupt aura slowly rising from her...

Seeing this scene, the High Priest smiled satisfactorily.

As the medium for the God's Descent, he had naturally left a backhand on Lottie.

And as a medium for communicating with the Gods, what was needed to completely awaken them was not just powerful magic.

It was the power to resonate with the Gods.

For the Holy Court, it meant firm and powerful faith.

For the Blood Demon Cult, it meant pain and despair.

Only when one fell into great pain and despair, would the power of corruption and darkness awaken!

And when the vessel awakened, it was time to start communicating with God and performing the God's Descent Ritual...

"It's about time. Gather all the true believers. It's time to start the ritual."

The High Priest turned around and said to the Blood Demon Cultists behind him.

"Yes."

The Blood Demon Cultists saluted respectfully and withdrew.

However, as time passed by, the Blood Demon Cultists who left did not return.
