Chapter 403

When one's level was not high enough, one's freedom could only deceive oneself.

Negri had never believed that he had the so-called absolute freedom. Who knew if there was someone with a higher level controlling him?

Because of this, Negri's approach had always been to strengthen himself. Then, regardless of whether there was someone controlling him or not, he would constantly break through his own limitations and obtain a higher level of control. He would break through and even control all those who tried to control his fate.

Chromie slowly stood up. The Sacrificial Vase in his hand gradually stopped releasing high temperature. The bright red color on its surface once again turned bright gold. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.

Since you can't obtain freedom while you're alive, then I hope you can truly control your life in your next life.

After offering his blessing, Chromie brought death to Counier. Then, he held the Sacrificial Vase and together with Glenn, dealt with the remaining rebels.

It was quite ironic. Those church members with firm faith had faith to protect themselves, so the Life Catalog of the Hundred-Headed Giant Beast did not have much attraction to them. Thus, they survived. As for those whose faith had been shattered, most of them were killed by their 'allies'.

Thus, the aftermath this time was relatively simple. After a period of time, the Sacrificial Vase team once again assembled. However, the number of members was instantly reduced by more than half. Most of them had rebelled, while a few were killed.

The already cold Pope was placed together with those who had sacrificed themselves. The surviving priests stepped forward and offered their blessings to the dead. The knights leaned on their swords and stood on the side, chanting the church's doctrine.

Scorching flames ignited. The corpses gradually turned into ashes within the flames, emitting heat that warmed everyone.

"May they rise to the sky amidst the flames and enter the Lord's capital." Of course, this was nonsense. If the soul's perspective was opened, these souls would have long since entered the Sacrificial Vase. After all, the Sacrificial Vase was right in front of them. It was not like before when it was placed on a high mountain, where the souls floated upwards and were thought to have ascended to heaven.

The atmosphere within the team was extremely gloomy and awkward. Although they were willing to offer their souls to God, being deceived was another matter altogether. If not for their firm faith, perhaps there was also the possibility of betrayal.

Chromie and Glenn looked at each other and discussed their future itinerary. The two traitors had muddled along and become the biggest leaders of the organization. This was also unexpected for them. The higher-ups of the church were either dead or betrayed, and this was not their doing. Both of them felt an inexplicable awkwardness.

No matter what, things had to continue. After discussing their future itinerary, the Sacrificial Vase team once again set off.

The dull journey was neither long nor short. As they walked through the desolate wilderness, the entire team no longer looked as energetic as before. They did not look like the church of Eternal Heat, but more like worshippers of Dark Death.

The second half of the journey didn't have any major incidents. At most, they would run into a few monsters that the Evil God had already existed for a long time. The most dangerous encounter was when they ran into an Evil God transformed from an elf. The Evil God was constantly shedding tears while swinging countless tentacles that resembled dried branches towards the team. After that, Chromie voluntarily lured the Evil God away and allowed the team to continue forward.

Just like that, Glenn became the person in charge of the Sun Shadow church's Sacrificial Vase team. Looking at the direction Chromie left, Glenn shook his head. He guessed that this Evil God was lured here by the will of the Moon Tree so that Chromie could leave the team and prepare for this God Offering Day.

Finally, the team entered the Unrepenting Abyss.

Thick black fog filled the entire area, a large number of ownerless souls from all over the world were gathering towards this place. Being enveloped by the black fog, they quickly changed. The resentment and madness contained within the fog caused these souls to become even more frenzied and aggressive. At the same time, they could no longer leave the range of the black fog and could only remain trapped within.

Glenn's body shone with a bright light, pushing the black mist away. Before entering the Unrepenting Abyss, the only priest left in the team cast a divine spell on everyone. Glenn could feel a force inside the Unrepenting Abyss protecting him from the black mist.

The black fog was caused by the unique environment of the Unrepenting Abyss, and the Unrepenting Abyss was ultimately created by the Seven Gods through the cursed Heroic Spirit Burial Ground. Because of that, as we carry the blessing of Eternal Heat, we obtain the protection of the curse within the Unrepenting Abyss. With that in mind, Glenn unsheathed his sword and killed a frenzied soul that was charging at him.

These guys had completely lost their minds. The black fog of the Unrepenting Abyss had caused them to lose all rationality, only by leaving this environment would they be able to regain their rationality.

For example, Negri's Night Attendants. They were the souls of the Unrepenting Abyss, after regaining their rationality, in order to never return to the Unrepenting Abyss, they willingly served Negri.

"Let's continue forward" These dead souls weren't weak, but after Glenn and the others obtained the blessing of Eternal Heat, they were no longer worth mentioning. Due to the black fog's curse coiling around their bodies, their attacks could instantly kill the dead souls.

It was impossible to see far into the Unrepenting Abyss, but the deeper they went, the closer they got to the center of the Unrepenting Abyss.

"What's that?" Suddenly, someone in the team suddenly looked at a certain place in the Unrepenting Abyss. The black fog was constantly squirming, as if something was forming there.

"Daisy, is that you?" The man said with an infatuated expression. He let go of the burning sword in his hand and reached out to touch the black fog. Then, ignoring the shouts of the people behind him, he walked into the black fog, the light of the blessing on his body gradually dimming.

After all, the Unrepenting Abyss was formed by the curse of the Seven Gods. Only the blessing of Eternal Heat could not completely deal with the dangers of the Unrepenting Abyss. Because of his previous experience, this person's heart had a crack, allowing the dangers of the black fog to enter and bewitch him, allowing him to see a certain person who had passed away, causing his mind to be bewitched.

"Keep your heart strong, if you don't want to be lost here forever." Glenn reminded, then continued downward. No one went to save that person, because he himself had given up on himself.

"Hmm?" After passing through a certain boundary, the black fog suddenly disappeared. Glenn looked into the distance, where the people of the Half Life Church and other churches were standing, holding torches and looking at them with a mocking smile.

Glenn looked up at the center, where there was a withered tree that reached the sky. Even though it had withered, one could still see how huge it was in the past.
