Nine hundred and twentieth chapters sacrificial ceremony
As the time of the sacrificial ceremony began approaching, more and more people were on the altar square. Not only those clans whose bodies had mutated, but even ordinary people were released by the castle guards and entered the castle, giving people the feeling that the entire Lyon leader was coming here.
However, one thing is very interesting, that is, no matter how crowded the people in the square are, there are always a few places in the square that will be vacant, only a few people stand there, and the stone platform where Leo and the others are also an vacant place.
Originally, Leo and Sylvia did not want to be noticed, so they chose to stay near the edge, but they did not expect to be noticed now, which made them who were not aware of the situation doubt whether the place they were in was only a special person to stay here.
Before Leo and the others could figure out what was going on, those who paid attention to them turned to other places, because more important people had already arrived in the square.
In the distance, a group of special-image families were slowly walking from outside the square to the square area that was deliberately vacated for them. The family leader was a giant with a huge body and a layer of armor all over his body. Following him was a group of half-man monsters with scorpions in the lower body and knights in the upper body.
After the team entered the square, cheers immediately sounded in the square, and almost everyone was shouting slogans such as Lord Glory and Lord Wan Sheng.
Undoubtedly, this giant should be Prodi, the lord of the Lyon leader. Judging from the blood stains on his and his half-man knights' armor, they should have just come down from the battlefield.
Compared to the people in the square who could only judge their strength from the ferocious appearance of this group of horses, Leo felt the inner strength of these mutant families more deeply. For example, the energy fluctuations in their bodies were almost equivalent to those of the second-level psychics, and a few half-person knights reached the level of the third-level psychics, and the lord Prodi was the most powerful, equivalent to those of the fifth-level psychics, indicating that he had evolved to another level of life.
This can easily determine Prodi's life form from the reactions of the surrounding clans within the energy radiation range of the lord Prodi, because those clans instinctively lowered their heads due to the high and low pressure of their life form, and many of them were clergy.
"Armor!" At this time, Sylvia suddenly said to Leo in a low voice.
Leo nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes, it's armor!"
Although the others standing beside Leo and the others heard the conversation between the two, they didn't understand the meaning of the two's conversation. They both felt that the two mentioned the armor because the armor wrapped around the body of the lord Prodi was very majestic and shocking.
But in fact, they didn't know that the reason Leo and Sylvia would say such a conversation was because both of them saw that there was something wrong with the armor on the Lord Prodi, or to put it more directly, Lord Prodi was not the giant in the armor, but the armor itself worn outside.
Leo and Sylvia both have a lot of abyss information and know a variety of magical species in the abyss. So when they saw the appearance of the lord Prodi, they all recognized that the armor on Prodi was Blankuta, an extremely special parasitic race in the abyss.
Parasitic races are very special races in the abyss. Almost all parasitic races have very weak power in their native state. Even an ordinary person can easily kill them. However, when they combine with the host and then assimilate the host, their power will change with the strength of the host.
Brankuta is the best among this parasitic race, because after he relies on conventional means to make him stronger by relying on conventional means. Only infinite wars can make him stronger quickly in a short period of time, because they feed on the cruelty, violent, bloodthirsty and other negative emotions emitted by creatures in the war. Therefore, most ethnic groups in the abyss are unwilling to call their real name Brankuta, but rather call him the Fighting Demon.
Although Brankuta is so dangerous, many abyss races are still willing to take the initiative to let Brankuta parasitize, because the process of Brankuta assimilating the host is relative, and the host also assimilates Brankuta at this time. The two sides are competing with will, and whoever loses will be assimilated.
However, almost all those who are assimilated in the end are hosts, because parasitic races like Blankuta always have some racial abilities that can weaken the known hosts.
However, even though it is so dangerous, those weak races in the abyss will still use any means to improve their strength in order to survive in a harsh environment like the abyss. Parasitic races that can increase their strength in a short period of time are obviously the best choice.
Interestingly, among the many abyss races that are willing to cooperate with Blankuta, the most survivors are left behind by those destructive worlds that have fallen into the abyss.
When Leo and Sylvia recognized that the armor on the Lord Prodi was Brankuta, they both believed that the Lord Prodi had been assimilated.
But when they saw Lord Prodi sitting down in the seat prepared for him, they lowered their posture and talked to the low-level clergy around them, they all understood that they had made a wrong judgment. Lord Prodi's current state was different from what they were referring to, and they could not judge based on the experience of the abyss in their memory.
The reason they think so is that Blankuta's parasitic assimilation, whether active or passive, no matter who is assimilated in the end, the final beneficiaries will be affected by some adverse effects in the process of assimilation, such as a character called arrogance that will be infinitely amplified.
This amplified arrogant personality makes the host not only disdain to communicate with those who are weaker than him, but even if he encounters an object that is stronger than him, he will still use an extremely contemptuous attitude. Only powerful existences whose life form is far beyond can make him lower his arrogant head.
Therefore, when the Lord Prodi lowered his posture and communicated with low-level clergy who were far weaker than him, it proved that he did not assimilate Brankuta, or rather, he assimilated Brankuta, but the adverse effects were erased by a great existence, and here, this great existence is undoubtedly the mother of filth.
This also proves once again that the Mother of Defiled has a strong effect on the power of the abyss, and even includes the abyss race. Leo and Sylvia also feel that it is not a good idea to use the power of the abyss to disguise now.
After thinking about this, Leo and Sylvia communicated secretly, then removed the disguise on their bodies and hid their respective abyss powers.
Because both of them were wearing burqas and hoods, they covered their faces, and the eyes of the people around them were all on the lord Prodi and the altar, even though they returned to their human form, they did not attract the attention of the people around them.
At this time, some commotion broke out on the outside of the square again, and then I saw another team of people entering the square along the sacrificial avenue and standing next to the lord Prodi's team, on the specially reserved open space.
There is nothing special about this team of people, and it can even be said to be very ordinary, because all of this team of people are ordinary people, and there is no clan change on them. The only thing worth noting is that their clothes are completely different from those of the people around them, and they look more modern. This modernity is not about the modernity of the Weilun world, but about the modernity of the universe civilization, because Leo saw the shadow of the Earth Federation clerk's clothing from the clothes of these people. Obviously, the clothes on these people were modified from the clerk's clothing.
Although this team of people is ordinary people, the locals around who worship the mutated family have acted completely different from their mentality. They are actually taking the initiative to salute these ordinary people, and the people who salute also include clergy and lord Prodi.
"Lanci." Seeing this scene, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and said a word at the same time.
Seeing these Lansi people, both of them understood why the old hunters mistakenly regarded them as Lansi people after seeing them, because their outfits were so different from those of the locals, and they did not disguise at that time, and they looked like normal humans, so it was difficult not to admit their mistakes.
But what puzzled Leo and Sylvia was why the locals respected the Lancie people so much, and the Mother of Defiled was the only possibility that they thought of.
After the arrival of the Lanxi people's mission, all the main objects of participating in the sacrificial ritual were arrived and the time was almost done. Then, he saw four families with varying degrees of body mutated from the door hole on the middle level of the altar, and came to the four platforms located on the middle level, each standing in front of several huge horns on the platform and blew hard.
A sound of trumpets resounding across the sky spread. When the sound of trumpets fell, everyone in the altar square stopped talking, and they all stood respectfully, and the surroundings became silent in an instant, and even the breathing was very low.
Then, a wave of prayer was heard from the entrance and exit at the bottom of the altar, and a team led by four maggot priests holding the scepter of the Mother of Defiled Mother came out of the altar.
Following the maggot priest was all the senior clergymen led by Lyon. While reciting the prayers of the Mother of Defiled were carrying a huge statue of the Mother of Defiled.
Behind the altar is the altar God Guard escorted the offerings, and all of them are like souls being taken away, staggering forward like walking corpses.
The group walked to the small square in front of the altar, and then the maggot priest inserted the holy emblem scepter in his hand into the four slots around the square. A ray of light surged out of the scepter, scattering like flowing water along the pattern of the square ground below the scepter, gradually spreading until it spread to the edge of the square, covering all the people in the square in the light.
At this time, the statue of the Mother of Defiled seemed to have a resonance with the light, emitting a more dazzling light, rushing into the sky, forming a pillar of light.
At the same time, the same thing was done on the altars of other territories of the Mother of Defiled, and beams of light shot out from the ground, reflecting each other. The dark sky also changed under the injection of beams of light. A vague statue of the Mother of Defiled appeared in the air, allowing everyone in the field to see it.
When the statue of the Mother of Defiled appeared in the sky, everyone in the altar square fell into a state of fanaticism, and under the leadership of all the clergy, the prayer of the Mother of Defiled was loudly recited. When they were reciting the prayer, the light around them also penetrated into their bodies little by little, inspiring some unknown powers in their bodies and guiding their bodies to slowly become clanized.
At the same time, Leo and Sylvia also felt the power of the light being penetrated into their bodies. Obviously, this light would not distinguish between those who are believers and those who are non-believers. Perhaps when the light works, non-believers will also become believers.
However, facing the power of light, their bodies had two completely different reactions.
Under the influence of the power of light, the power of the faceless man and the abyss demon dragon in Sylvia actually joined forces to block the power of light from her body. Her body also had some abnormal reactions under the action of the two forces, such as her face becoming blurred and scales appearing on her body.
Fortunately, because of the burqa and everyone around her were immersed in the baptism of light, no one noticed the abnormality on her body.
Compared to Sylvia's repulsion, Leo's body's reaction was completely different. Just like other divine powers that entered his body, the power of the Mother of Defiled also penetrated into his body without any obstacles. After turning around in his body, it poured into his arms, forming a holy emblem mark of the Mother of Defiled formed next to the crystal snake.
At the moment the mark was formed, Leo could clearly feel that the power of the abyss snake contained in the crystallized snake had been weakened to varying degrees, as if it had encountered a nemesis.
At this time, the black oil pool in front of the altar began to boil. The divine guards who escorted the sacrifices saw this and brought the walking corpse-like sacrifices to the black oil pool and pushed them into the pool.
Then I saw that the offerings that fell into the pool were twisted and deformed as if melted, and soon disappeared into the pool and merged with the black oil.
