"Caw caw caw!"
A flock of crows flew by and landed on a withered branch.
The desolate church and the silent, unringed bells revealed the unusual state of the chapel.
The bishop, draped in a white robe, raised his cloudy eyes and gazed silently at the restored statue of the God of Dreams.
With three pairs of wings spread wide, wearing a crown woven from olive branches on its head, holding a scripture in its hands, and wielding a sharp sword, it brings wonderful dreams to the world and proclaims all that is good.
They were merely fallen gods, tools used by our Lord.
Nord withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and revealed that the human skin he wore showed faint signs of decay.
But he wasn't worried, because no one in the Holy See would ever see the dark and volatile side of the holy and benevolent bishop again.
The church was empty and deserted, except for his solitary figure.
In the past, everyone would have been reciting religious texts and offering flattering praises to our Lord.
“Brian, my good boy, whoever killed you, I will avenge you.”
Nord murmured, his first reaction after receiving news of Brian's fall was to recall his body.
As long as the corpse remains, Nord can use the Blood Nest's special ability to revitalize himself and infuse his soul into Brian's corpse, thus completing his resurrection.
But his faith vanished, and he was told that apart from his head being buried more than ten meters deep in the soil, Brian's body had been cremated, leaving not a trace of ash.
This was a devastating blow to Nord.
But having lived for over a hundred years, even if one is angry, one must suppress it and find a way to make amends.
However, there is indeed a backup plan at present.
He raised his hand and took out a piece of blood-red crystal from a hidden part of the statue.
This is a magic crystal containing immense blood energy, bestowed upon him by the demon god standing behind him, to be used periodically to harvest the essence and spirit of his believers.
The black behemoth inside is the phantom of a demon god, containing immense terror.
Aside from the first magic crystal that was stolen to nourish the divine tree, and the second magic crystal that fed the blood nest, it's time for this third magic crystal to come in handy.
Thinking of this, a burning desire flashed in Nord's eyes.
The path to gold is far too difficult for small forces; even if they go bankrupt, they may not be able to awaken their potential or take even a single step onto the path to gold.
Even powerful forces like those in Titan City, with awakened potential experts in charge, would still be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, except for freaks like Brian.
However, a Gold-rank expert who has awakened to extraordinary power unleashes heavenly might with every move, and the effect of a single strike is ten times greater than that of a potential awakener!
The world they comprehend, see, and appreciate is clearly beyond the realm of ordinary people; it is absolutely a different kind of wonder!
This was the unwavering determination that had remained in Nord's heart since his awakening, forging his golden body and embarking on the path to invincibility, for which he had struggled painstakingly for over a century.
But now, the Divine Tree has been stolen, the Magic Crystal has been taken, and Brian has died in battle. What does all of this signify...?
"Who is it! The Gubang family, or perhaps the Tulips!"
Nord's expression was like a dark cloud, brewing thunder and fury.
Brian was chosen because he is a carefully cultivated and trustworthy confidant who will, as always, perform this mission excellently.
Currently, the only way to embark on the path to gold is to merge with the Blood Nest and become a ferocious monster of the gold rank!
"Skilled in swordsmanship, black hair, sharp ears... Hmph, I'll find you sooner or later."
Nord recalled the fleeting, blurry image, but after taking over Brian's consciousness, he became paralyzed and forcibly severed the connection.
He walked down the steps, a hint of madness in his eyes.
The original plan was for him to take on Brian's body and, with the potential of the Star Pulse Tree, officially embark on the Golden Path.
Blood Nest, on the other hand, is fused with Brian. Due to his faith, Blood Nest, who possesses the combat power of a gold-tier warrior, will be his most loyal right-hand man. At that time, he will wash the entire Titan City in blood, devour flesh and blood, drink fresh blood, and officially transform into a golden body.
Beneath the floor, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood lay, with countless bodies of the elderly, women, and children floating in the blood pool. Even more were young children, who had sunk into the sea of blood, their eyes pierced by tentacles that penetrated their brains and sucked out their delicious brain matter. Their small hearts in their chests had been devoured, and their abdomens had been torn open, as if they had been ripped open. They were being eaten alive, and could only be barely identified by their half-human skin.
The blood nest, now the size of a house, has evolved over a dozen arms and three mouths the size of washbasins, filled with sharp teeth, devouring chunks of flesh. Its aura has become more solid, and it is moving towards a higher stage of maturity.
"Bang!"
The door was opened, and a large pile of fresh corpses, still oozing blood, were brought in.
The vast majority of them were staff members of the Holy See: priests, believers, knights, and bishops who craved power. They wielded their swords and slaughtered all their subordinates.
"Heh heh, come on, my deformed golden path!"
Nord remained stiff and calm, letting the tentacles of the blood nest spread, the viscous flesh and blood engulfing half of his figure.
But a golden light surged from the Blood Nest, flowing into Nord's body through the magic crystal in his hand.
The journey has been arduous, all for this golden road fraught with thorns!
Even if it means falling into monster form and sacrificing one's soul to the demon god, it's all worth it...
Nord gave a bitter smile, his body resembling a writhing mass of flesh and blood, his outer skin torn away to reveal a monster with six skeletal hands.
The monster had four large mouths and murky, fully evolved eyes, and it winked at Nord.
Looking into those pale, lifeless eyes, Nord saw himself, a skeletal body covered with only a few drops of blood.
etc!
Suddenly, he thought of something and began to tremble.
Demon God!
The monster opened its mouth, and a glint of light flashed in its turbid eyes. A flash of light disappeared, leaving Nord utterly horrified!
But before he could utter a sound, endless fleshy tentacles engulfed his murky body...
...
"Get in the car."
Minise sat in the driver's seat with a cold expression, her emerald green eyes remaining calm.
Beside the SUV lay a pile of monster corpses. A group of mindless monsters were killing each other, creating a battlefield that resembled a meat grinder, devouring the lives of monsters one by one.
"Okay, sure."
Xiao Han stepped on the head of a giant wolf, pulled out a crimson-gold sword, and stored it in his soul armor.
He looked at Minnie's pretty face with a serious expression: "Then let's hurry back. Oh, and let's make this clear in advance: the resources will be split 90/10. No loopholes allowed!"
"Yes, Your Highness, Little Fox."
Minnie said calmly, a scene that made the suspicious little fox uneasy.
"Well then, it's time to get down to business..."
Minnie held a bowl of lemon tea and took a sip: "Can you explain why you set the fire?"
She slightly raised her head, gazing at the raging fire around her, her brows furrowed and her delicate face flushed a rosy red by the bursting flames.
"Cough cough..."
