"Who in this world has made their fortune cleanly from scratch? In a few decades, I'll be a noble too. What do you think those noble lords are up to in private? Who do you think is buying those students?"
A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and the middle-aged man's laughter stopped abruptly.
The world before my eyes changed rapidly, and the screaming woman and boy disappeared.
As he regained consciousness, the priest saw a teddy bear holding a steel knife standing in front of him.
Next to the big bear was Chen Xi holding a crystal ball, and Lily and Applesauce running towards them.
The middle-aged man soon discovered that the protective shield on his body had been completely torn apart, exposing all his weaknesses.
The giant eyeball, which had been floating in the air, now collapsed to the ground, barely breathing. Its dark pupil was covered in blood holes, and fine black lines drooped to the ground, no longer possessing any aggression.
A large golden bird, covered with fine threads, was jumping around the Marsh God, finishing him off.
Everything that happened before I fell into the hallucination came back to my mind.
During the years that he controlled the Institute of God Training, the priest had forcibly taken gods from children many times.
Children are much easier to control than adults, and this is his first failure.
Realizing that his god had lost his fighting power, the priest placed all his hopes on the robot.
The moment he touched the remote control, his heart sank.
The remote control got soaked in water at some point and is now completely broken.
The priest closed his eyes dejectedly and sighed deeply, "I underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect Yekos to turn against us, and I didn't expect the records in the book to be wrong."
"If I had known that Yekos was a dog that could never be tamed, I wouldn't have refused when a noble wanted to buy him back to be a fox. If I had known that phoenix cubs wouldn't lose their memories after being reborn from the ashes, I wouldn't have been so easily controlled by his mind just now."
The man glanced at the people who were on high alert, and showed an expression of calmly welcoming death.
"I lost. I know you hate me to the core and there's no way you'll let me go. But have you ever thought about this: if I died, how would you find out when and where the monsters would appear?"
"Those ghoul nuns don't know such an important thing. Do you think you will have to fight monsters day and night from now on?"
This was exactly the reason why Chen Xi and the others hesitated and did not kill him for a long time.
He was thinking about how to control the cunning priest and make him work for them.
What should they do if the priest dies?
There are troops stationed outside the town. Even if they escape from the orphanage with the little yellow chicken, where can they go in the future?
As a member of the Institute of God Cultivation, Chen Xi must have information about him. If he is caught by surveillance, he will become a wanted criminal.
After leaving the orphanage, he and Lily had to face endless pursuit and flee everywhere in the empire.
If they don't leave the orphanage, they won't be able to grasp the monster's movements, and their situation may be worse than before the priest's death.
Noticing that the eyes of several children began to waver, the priest lowered his head dejectedly, his lips moving slightly as he silently chanted a spell.
He finally saw clearly that Chen Xi was the leader of the group. As long as he could control the thin and frail boy, he could turn the situation around.
When the chanting was about to end, a soft and gentle male voice suddenly sounded in the arena.
"What the hell are you talking about? Go fuck him! He's been nagging for so long, it's obvious he's stalling for time. Fucking bastard, I saw you talking!"
As the male voice sounded, a golden figure flew past Chen Xi's head, and its sharp claws went straight to grab the priest's head.
After finishing the chant, the priest raised his hand, and a new protective barrier appeared around him.
Yu Tong hit the protective shield hard, causing cracks on it.
The priest took out a teleportation scroll from his arms and was about to escape quickly.
Chen Xi, who had been hesitant, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Go ahead, kill him!"
Before the boy could finish his words, the priest suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
His belly swelled rapidly, bursting through his black priest's robes. His hands began to swell, and his fingers could not bend.
The teleportation scroll was right in his hand. He could survive by tearing it open, but his body refused to obey him.
The scene before Yekos's death emerged in his mind.
It was the Water Drop Warrior that entered his body.
The priest's eyes bulged, and he opened his mouth with difficulty. "I can't die. I won't accept this! I've finally become like a noble, and I have so much..."
The body could no longer accommodate the increasing flow of water, and the man exploded from the inside, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Yekos died, and the priest died too.
The severely injured Marsh God fell to the ground, looking at the remains of his two believers, a scarlet tear flowed from his eyes.
It gave up its plot against the Sun God, slowly closed its eyes, and no longer showed any sign of life.
————
The priest's body was blown all over the sky, and his two eyeballs rolled to Chen Xi's feet. He hid aside in disgust.
Seeing that he didn't want them, the little bear warrior immediately bent down to pick them up, one for himself and one for Lily, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.
Applesauce had only eaten monsters and never humans, so she covered her mouth in horror.
Chen Xi was silent for a while, and suddenly realized that the priest's meat was very nutritious.
The purpose of the food shortage period is probably to force the children to kill each other, and to quickly increase their strength by eating the flesh of other children and monsters.
Looking at the half ear handed to him by the little bear warrior, Chen Xi was about to force it into his mouth when the sacred bird suddenly flew over and knocked off the priest's ear with one wing.
He tilted his head and looked at Chen Xi, his soft voice revealing a hint of helplessness, "There is an even more powerful Marshland God over there. We can eat that one, there is no need to eat humans."
Chen Xi lowered his head and said nothing.
The teddy bear gestured back and forth with his hands, while Lily translated beside him.
