Chapter 517: His Excellency the Duke has gone mad |
Chapter 517: 514, His Excellency the Duke has gone mad Chapter 517: 514, His Excellency the Duke has gone mad Thud.
Akaret had been holding on just a moment before,
but in the next, he knelt.
Evil Spirit Du Wei didn’t even deign to look at him.
At its weakest, Akaret couldn’t defy it, and although it hadn’t returned to its peak, it was still much stronger than before.
It was becoming increasingly terrifying.
Just like it had said.
Its opponents were the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods of Solomon, not these “ordinary people.”
...Yes…
Then,
after everyone had knelt down,
they once again heard the voice of Evil Spirit Du Wei in the depths of their hearts.
But this time, it wasn’t as clear.
It was vague and obscure, hardly forming coherent sentences.
To be precise, what they perceived was more about the information conveyed.
Akaret was the first to speak, “This is our god, this is the Vedas.”
His tone was completely different from before.
Moreover, his originally azure eyes were now shadowed over,
even carrying a look of bewilderment.
Others also spoke, “Oh god… please summon us, please lead us away from this filthy world.”
Seeing this, Evil Spirit Du Wei nodded slightly.
This plea it could satisfy.
So, it extended a hand and pointed at Akaret.
This was a bizarre power that ordinary people could neither understand nor observe.
Akaret spoke again with feverish tone, “I have heard the voice of the Vedas. It told me it’s dissatisfied with this sacrificial ritual.”
“Because the Sacrifice should have been to it, not to the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods of Solomon.”
“Only it is the true god.”
“It is the past and future, it is the sun, moon, and stars.”
“It is the ruler of all.”
“It exists on high, looking down upon all beings.”
When these words were spoken,
the nature of the sacrificial ritual completely changed.
The meddling of Evil Spirit Du Wei re-established the concept of the Veda Sect, only now it manifested in the form of the Vedas, not as itself.
Because according to its plan,
to ascend to godhood by itself would be exceedingly difficult.
Otherwise, it would have become a god right after the first destruction of the Veda Sect.
Therefore, it needed a bit of external force.
The Veda Sect already had a solid foundation of faith,
worshipping the so-called Vedas.
So what it wanted to do now was to don the mantle of the Vedas, make everyone firm in their belief in its existence, and then replace them.
In other words, the Armored Divinity Ascension.
The Sacrifice began once more.
The solemn chants rose and fell, becoming even more eerie in the darkness.
There was no light here…
…
Elsewhere,
Corrine Dowqui and others were searching the streets of London for His Excellency the Duke.
All these ten or so hunters belonged to the church.
At this moment, their complexions were pale.
“Where on earth has His Excellency the Duke gone?”
“We’re unable to contact him now, and I have a feeling he’s not acting normal.”
“This isn’t the His Excellency the Duke we know.”
The more they spoke, the more complex their tone became.
Corrine Dowqui clenched her teeth and said, “Let’s not jump to conclusions just yet, after all, that’s His Excellency the Duke; his way of doing things and his thoughts are definitely different from ours.”
“Moreover, by tomorrow morning, others will arrive.”
“No matter what has happened, there will be an outcome to it all.”
In fact, she was feeling a nameless panic within her.
It was as if from the start, things had taken a turn for the strange.
Mystical as fog.
No matter how one looked, it couldn’t be seen through.
Just then.
Someone exclaimed, “Look, something’s off about the sky.”
Corrine Dowqui looked over.
In the night sky of London, an inexplicable dark cloud had risen.
The cloud spread rapidly, emanating from a central point, creeping toward the entire city.
But in the next second.
It swept over their location.
Moreover, the dark cloud kept rolling and expanding, bringing with it a chilling coldness that made people feel cold just by looking at it.
Within it, one could faintly make out the contours of a pair of eyes.
“This…”
“Could it be that His Excellency the Duke has failed? Has the Veda Sect really awakened the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods of Solomon?”
Corrine Dowqui’s face was exceedingly pale.
He trembled all over.
His entire posture was in utter disarray.
The others were the same: “How could this be, with His Excellency the Duke taking action, the Veda Sect, no matter how many people they come with, wouldn’t be able to achieve their goal.”
“Let’s go to the heart of it and see, we must figure out exactly what has happened.”
…
The behavior of Du Wei and the Evil Spirit Du Wei wasn’t quite the same.
Their goal was aligned.
But the processes felt entirely different.
The former was cautious.
Always ready to change the plan and habitually laying many trump cards.
As for the Evil Spirit Du Wei.
It had ample confidence and strength.
Never flustered at any time.
Its only weak point was its lack of a body.
Now this shortcoming had been made up for.
The so-called rules were but a joke to it.
…
Soon.
Corrine Dowqui and the others arrived at the center of London.
Half an hour had passed.
Now the entire city of London was shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning flashing intermittently as if a downpour could start at any moment.
At this moment.
The sight that unfolded before these hunters.
Left them astounded.
At the center of the city was a large square with stone-paved streets, surrounded by buildings cloaked in darkness, with only their blurry outlines visible.
The howling wind swept past, making everyone’s clothes flutter chaotically.
A huge hexagram pattern was drawn on the ground in fresh blood.
A sacrifice was placed at each point.
And in the very center of the hexagram pattern, a human face was outlined in fresh blood.
The face had only a pair of eyes, with no other facial features.
The edges formed an ellipse.
To call it a human face was rather to describe it as a mask.
Corrine Dowqui gritted his teeth and said, “I have a very bad feeling about this place, as if some terrifying presence is staring at me from the darkness, instilling me with fear.”
The others also said, “Something has come into reality.”
“The Veda Sect must have succeeded, but what exactly is the reason?”
“Why didn’t His Excellency the Duke stop it?”
“Has he gone mad? If the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods of Solomon are awakened, all of London will become a hell on earth; no one will be able to make it out alive.”
Corrine Dowqui said bitterly, “I don’t know, although I have had many contacts with His Excellency the Duke, I truly don’t know why he didn’t stop it.”
“Could it be that he is a cold-hearted devil who doesn’t care about the lives of ordinary people at all?”
Someone clenched their teeth and said, “I have to find him, I must find him and make him tell the truth.”
“Maybe all of us have been deceived.”
“The church has been deceived too, his kindness was all a facade.”
Still others were saying, “Everyone calm down, we still have a chance. Besides His Excellency the Duke, other people are also rushing here, maybe they will have a way. And that Lord will come too, if she knows what His Excellency the Duke has done, she will definitely take action.”
Corrine Dowqui’s eyes lit up, “Are you referring to…Lord Minette?”
