Chapter 655 Desire
But in the process, Anvis noticed an interesting fact.
The red cup was not simply absorbing Cohen's desires, it was also constantly stimulating and amplifying the desires in Cohen's heart. At the same time, it was emitting a light red mist that penetrated into Cohen's body and kept everything running.
In the real world, as the total amount of mist absorbed increased, Cohen's body began to undergo some changes.
The skin on his face began to crack, and a large number of facial features grew out of it. His body uncontrollably grew a large amount of purple flesh and blood growths, and densely packed deformed arms stretched out from it, wriggling slightly like seaweed.
If you want to feel more of the world, you need more eyes and ears! If you want to taste more of the world, you need more mouths! If you want to master more of the world, you need more arms!
Under Avis's gaze, Cohen gradually changed from his original human form to a terrifying existence that only existed in nightmares. Even just one glance at him was enough to make people so frightened that they could not fall asleep.
But even if it became like this, Cohen was still sleeping soundly without realizing it, and even all the mouths on his body were still curled up crazily.
It was as if he was sitting on the throne at the top of the world, looking at the world he had conquered at his feet, laughing silently.
"Will uncontrolled desires eventually turn people into monsters? This is really thought-provoking... Well, let's temporarily name it the [Beast of Desire]."
He raised his hand slightly to pull down the black hood, then looked up with his deep blue eyes at the beast of desire that he had released with his own hands, his eyes filled with amazement.
In his perception, under the influence of the red mist, the beast of desire that was born from Cohen's first-level body, its own power aura has broken through the fourth level, and even has a tendency to continue to break through upward.
If even he could figure out such a use, then the alien church that created this cup must have already done more in-depth research on it. What kind of existence do they believe in? "Now, have you seen enough, everyone?"
He casually flipped open the old secret book and sealed the cup into the pages. Avis slowly turned around, looking towards the side of the castle courtyard under his hood.
There was a golden oak tree there that was about a hundred years old. The shadow cast by its huge canopy blocked the moonlight, leaving everything below it in a hazy darkness.
As Avis looked at them, a layer of transparent water film suddenly appeared in the air. The next moment, the film broke silently, revealing Xu Te and his group behind them.
"Is this also the task assigned to you by the ambassador?"
Staring at the darkness under Avis' hood, Xu Te asked with a cold gaze. At the same time, he was extremely alert and ready to leave with the three people behind him at any time.
He knew very well that the reason he was exposed was probably because when he saw the strange changes in the man on the ground just now, his emotions fluctuated and he accidentally exposed his aura.
"Ambassador? Hey, he ...
As if hearing some interesting question, Anvis suddenly let out a strange laugh from under his hood.
After scanning Roche, Matt, and Alyssa, all of whom looked nervous, Avis finally turned back to Shuter.
"If the ambassador you're referring to is the guy wearing a strange silver-black mask and accompanied by an eighth-level storm warlock, then I can tell you that this has nothing to do with him. I just 'borrowed' this cup from him."
"He represents more than one marquis of the Gloria Empire. If you kill him, you will only bring yourself into big trouble."
Xuster spoke with a serious look, and at the same time secretly tried to take the opportunity to peek at the true face under Avis' hood while speaking, but he was blocked by a strange force and gained nothing.
"You are right, so I let them go. In order to thank me, he voluntarily gave me this cup as a gift. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
In the face of Xuster's little tricks, Avis only responded to his questions perfunctorily and remained indifferent to his investigation.
"…What exactly do you want to do? What are you summoning?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Te decided to continue testing, and at the same time to delay time, secretly preparing to construct an ultra-long-distance group teleportation technique.
"It's just a small experimental accident. Don't worry about it."
Glancing at the obviously evil [Beast of Desire] next to him, Avis waved his hand and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"You know, various accidents often occur in our spellcasters' experiments, but they are mostly safe and controllable, and generally do not cause too much damage.
And - don't be so nervous, dear Deputy Commander, in a sense, our goals are actually partially consistent. "
"Do you know my identity?!"
As Avis finished his words, Xu Te's eyes took on a hint of danger, as if he was considering whether to take the risk of fighting with Avis.
But Avis made a move. He raised his hand and touched his chest. When he put his hand down, a circular emblem composed of special symbols appeared in front of Xust and others.
"Are you from the Circle of Truth?"
Seeing this symbol, Xuster felt a little relieved, but his eyes remained vigilant.
"How do you prove your identity?"
"Proof of identity? Hehe..."
Hearing this question, Avis laughed again.
"Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Seeing Xuster's somewhat unpleasant expression, Avis lowered his voice and issued an ultimatum.
"What happens here has nothing to do with you, everyone from Starfire, please leave. Or take 'your people' and fight a meaningless battle with me before leaving. Please feel free to do so."
After saying the last few words meaningfully, Avis turned back to the [Beast of Desire] and ignored Shuster and his group.
"Sir Shute, what should we do?"
Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Alyssa asked in a low voice.
"…He's right, let's get out of here."
After taking a deep look at Avis' back, Xuter said no more and directly activated the group teleportation technique he had prepared, and quickly left with the three of them.
As Avis had hinted, he had no confidence in being able to protect the three people while fighting with Avis.
Moreover, these were not the only things that Xuster was worried about.
The envoys of the marquises were attacked, and the only ones who could benefit from it would be the four major family camps of the empire. However, as a resistance organization, the [Ring of Truth] is naturally hostile to them and has no reason to help them.
Xuster had a vague guess in his mind that the people from the Ring of Truth suddenly intervened in this matter, probably because of the mysterious cult that was cooperating with the marquis this time.
"Sir Shuster, is that person really from the legendary [Ring of Truth]?"
On the way back to the Starfire base, Roche looked at Xuter's expression and asked curiously.
"Maybe, maybe, maybe not."
After looking at the three of them, Xu Te spoke slowly.
"But he is right about one thing. I cannot take you to fight him. Besides, he doesn't seem to have much hostility towards us. There is no need to engage in a meaningless battle."
"The power of that cup feels very evil. I think we should be careful of that weird cult if we cooperate with the marquises."
At this moment, Matt suddenly spoke.
"I will explain your proposal to the chief."
Xiu Te nodded.
