Chapter 211 Ansu finally got off work
Sacrifice is an art.
The Life Cultists, a type of marine creature, grow in the southernmost part of the empire's borders. They are loved by diners in heaven for their delicious taste. The quality standard of their ingredients is determined by their rank, with saints being the best and fourth-rank being the second. As the top chef in the entire imperial capital, Chef Saint Ansu Morningstar has a unique way of cooking these delicacies.
First, take twenty or thirty fourth-level believers and hang them next to the altar for later use. Then, do some simple processing, such as scraping off the scales and gills, and trimming the hair. And for a more top-level and luxurious cooking method, take two or three saints with top-level ingredients, recite Buddhist scriptures to soothe the frightened hearts of the ingredients and make their meat reach the best quality.
Every little detail embodies Mr. Ansu's craftsmanship.
After the preparation stage, An Su started to heat and cook, but he did not kill the animals directly. For the top chefs, keeping the ingredients fresh is the only way to achieve the best taste.
His heating method is also unique. He uses radiant light for microwave heating, irradiating it back and forth five times, for a total of five minutes, not a minute more or less. This can lock in the freshness of the ingredients and improve the return rate of cooking.
After his operation, thirty geniuses of the esoteric sect were already kneeling under the stage. They were all at least at the fourth level, and there were even three saints at the fifth level. There were also more geniuses and saints who had transformed. They all looked very appetizing now, with tentacles wriggling all over their bodies, but the happiest smiles on their lips. This was the highest realm of culinary skills, and it was also the professional benchmark for every chef. An Su felt that he was a really good man as he allowed the ingredients to be sacrificed happily.
Merlin's side is probably almost done, so I have to resolve my side quickly as well.
[Demigod's remaining time: one minute]
And the Demigod limited experience card is about to expire.
After all the ingredients are stewed with radiation, you can stir-fry them over high heat.
In the most holy heaven, Ansu began to conduct the ceremony himself. He instructed the brainwashed believers, "I will recite a sentence, and you will follow me."
"The Mother Goddess of Desire and the Moon, the Great Mistress of Life, the Eternal Motherhood above the Spirit World—"
"Your devout followers call your name."
Ansu said softly, the smile on his lips became more holy and cheerful, calling out the name of the Mother Goddess, the bright and holy starlight projected down, Ansu's sacred and strange huge figure was against the light, casting shadows on the earth, covering all the secret believers kneeling below.
Ansu walked down the steps slowly. Every time he passed a believer, the believer would prostrate himself and chant after Ansu, "Mother Goddess of Desire and the Moon."
They were following Anzu in sacrificing themselves.
High-end ingredients will serve themselves on the table.
All of a sudden, countless low and cold prayers sounded, echoing in the starry sky from all directions.
"This is the hymn of the most sincere people,
This is a feast for the soul and spirit.
This is a delicacy of flesh and blood."
[You attracted the attention of the Mother Goddess of Life]
Following Ansu's words, the holy fire of the altar instantly reached its maximum. The sacrificial flames surrounded the holy heaven. The red moon above the starry sky became brighter and more terrifying. The moonlight was the gaze. When the moonlight was strong, the gaze of the Mother Goddess also reached here! The Mother Goddess bestowed grace, and they were the sacrifices.
Bram felt the coming of that great being, but what made the bishop feel difficult was that the body of the saint he had merged with also underwent changes under the light of judgment and radiation of Anzu. He realized the horrible fact that if he continued to struggle, he would be in danger.
The body will also affect the soul in turn.
This is the world of the Vatican. Once you die, you are truly dead.
As a bishop who was in charge of the sacrifice, he was placed on the altar by others. What an ultimate insult it was.
At this point, he no longer cared about the lives of his subordinates.
This body became an obstacle for Bram, and his soul forcibly separated from the saint's body.
Without the constraints of his mutated body, his movements were no longer hindered. On the other hand, the body of the Life Saint who was abandoned by his soul rapidly mutated and was gradually twisted. Finally, he was brainwashed by Ansu and automatically joined the chorus of sacrifice.
Bram's situation was not good either. His soul was now directly exposed to the radiation of knowledge. Knowledge was arbitrarily and unreasonably forced into his cognition with a tough attitude of wanting to be strong, making it very difficult for Bram to understand. The bishop looked at the large number of believers who were brainwashed by Ansu. They were now voluntarily following Ansu's guidance and sacrificing their bodies, believing that this was the ultimate blessing.
Of course, there are still a small number of believers who have not been completely brainwashed, most of whom are saints. Although they did not actively escape, their eyes were full of uncertainty and confusion. Obviously, they were not completely affected by Anzu's meme pollution.
Maybe there is still hope.
Bishop Bram suddenly saw an opportunity. His soul shouted to the believers who had not yet completely fallen, and projected his words directly into their ears, "All this is fake."
"Xian Zong is lying. Sacrificing oneself will not bring salvation."
"The afterlife is not salvation at all!"
"If sacrificing oneself is so wonderful, why doesn't Xianzong sacrifice himself first!"
"He doesn't dare, he is deceiving you!"
"He just wants to sacrifice you to achieve his own selfish goals."
"In the face of this evil cult, we must maintain scientific and rational values, adhere to critical materialist thinking, we must have positive energy, and believe that there is no savior in this world, there has never been any god, and it is not too late to turn back. A good life is created by us bit by bit with our feet on the ground."
Plum wanted to cry but had no tears - he, the head of the cult, had actually fallen to the point where he had to persuade people to turn back and fight against feudal superstition . What a shame it was.
If he had known that the Secret Society was so complicated, he should have applied to join the Glorious Church when he was a child!
Bishop Bram's earnest teachings and persuasion worked, and many wavering secret believers gradually came to their senses, and the changes in their bodies stopped. Yes, if sacrificing oneself is so beautiful, why didn't Venerable Xianzong sacrifice himself first? Seeing that the trend of brainwashing had eased, Bishop Bram breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Ansu walked down the last step.
A grin spread across his lips.
"Gifts from your devout followers."
[You strongly attracted the attention of the Mother Goddess of Chaos]
[The absolutely neutral celestial messenger suggests that you don't do that again]
No manners at all.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice came to his ears. An Su shook his head and sneered. He, An Su, was a man who valued friendship. A few days ago, he had sworn brotherhood with these secret sect brothers. They agreed not to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.
Now, it's time to fulfill that promise.
He pointed one hand at his chest and moved it downwards along his heart, as if he wanted to cut himself in half. The young man's pale blue pupils became brighter and more loyal. They were sacrificed on the same day of the same month of the same year, which was the bond between them as brothers.
Ansu stood in the center of the altar, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.
"I will offer my self on the altar to you——"
He whispered,
"I invite you to have dinner with me!"
As Ansu finished speaking, the entire heaven fell into a long period of deathly silence.
When the depression reached its peak, the sky collapsed instantly, and all the holy fires were extinguished. Only the bright red moonlight broke through the layers of the sky and splashed on Ansu's back.
The red moon was no longer hanging in the sky, but rising from the boy's body. At this moment, everything was quiet and dark, and only Ansu's figure stood in the gray and lonely world. The believers of life all prostrated themselves under the red moon, as if they saw the Mother Goddess in person.
They had never been so close to the Mother Goddess before, nor had they ever seen any sacrificial ceremony that could reach such a level, actually directly drawing down the entire red moon.
Lacking the language, they could only use the word miracle to describe this grand scene.
Even the Mother Goddess has come out to stand up for Lord Xianzong, so could what Lord Xianzong said be false?
The fanaticism and worship in the eyes of the esotericists reached the extreme. They no longer had any worries. Their spirits and bodies were completely out of control and mutated wildly. As a believer in life, being able to meet the Mother Goddess was worth dying for.
Miss Bone, the orthodox saint of life, squatted in a corner where no one could see her with her hands on her head. She was afraid that Boss Ansu would get too excited about the sacrifice and sacrifice her as well, and then use her to make bone soup for the Mother Goddess of Life, which might be very nutritious.
The most shocked and unbelievable person in the whole audience was Bishop Bram, who had previously vowed to fight superstition.
Bram couldn't believe what he saw. He had never been so shocked before. His eyes widened as he stared at Xianzong in the center of the altar, watching the scarlet moonlight gradually submerge his body and slowly devour it. While being devoured, Xianzong still had a peaceful smile on his lips.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No, brother, are you really offering?
Bishop Bram was completely convinced.
From head to toe, I am completely convinced!
In his five hundred years of life, he had never seen such a courageous man!
If you say you will devote yourself, then devote yourself. Keep your word and be honest!
If you really want to offer it, then offer it.
Bram is now certain that Xianzong must be a high-level agent of both the Glorious Church and the Life Church, and even a figure at the level of the Archbishop of the Chaos Church. Only the thought processes of those chaotic lunatics are so difficult to understand. These lunatics all want to pursue pleasure at the expense of their lives, which is completely consistent with Xianzong's current behavior.
No one dared to mess with a chaotic lunatic of this level, for fear that he would suddenly explode.
When did I provoke such a scary big shot?
He, Plum, was just a good man selling seafood! The great fear brought a great burden to Plum's soul, and even his willpower was weakened.
Ansu was surrounded by scarlet moonlight, and his body did not disappear immediately. He paused, turned around, and stepped onto the stairs again. With every step he took, the moonlight on his body became brighter. The eyes of the esoteric geniuses had never been so fanatical. They knelt on the ground, kissing the land where Ansu passed, as if he was the mother goddess walking on the earth.
The chanting that had been interrupted began again.
They shouted enthusiastically, imitated Ansu's words, and prayed devoutly -
"Gifts from your faithful followers."
"I invite you to have dinner with me."
The angels sang peacefully, plucking the strings and humming the most cheerful notes. The flower gardens in heaven were full of life, and the church bells rang again and again from the ancient clouds. Merlin liked to plant flowers on weekdays. At the entrance of heaven, he planted a large violet flower garden, which was in full bloom at this time.

The secret believers sacrificed their souls. Every time Ansu passed a secret believer and climbed a step, the scarlet moonlight devoured a person. The sacrifices turned into bones, blood surged and splashed everywhere, hymns and death played together, blood and corpses watered Merlin's garden. Presumably, when next spring comes, the flowers will bloom more vigorously.
【The temporary ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven.】
[The temporary ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven has defeated a fifth-order life form]
The violet flower beds were all dyed red with blood, blooming seductively in the dark red moonlight. The roads that Ansu passed by were all paved with crimson corpses. He walked on top of all the corpses, step by step, climbing up the stairs layer by layer.
All the fourth-level esoteric geniuses, a total of twenty-nine, all had their souls mutated and were sacrificed.
Among the ten fifth-level esoteric saints, except for Bishop Bram who still had his sanity, the souls of three others were severely damaged, and the souls of three others had undergone irreversible mutations. The three life saints completely gave up resistance and were directly sacrificed by Ansu!
This was also Ansu’s first time hunting saint-level secret followers, and he caught three at once.
Even in the chaotic border, he had only sacrificed a few chaos believers at the quasi-saint level.
Bishop Bram's soul was in great pain, and his sanity seemed to have evaporated. He barely led the remaining saints out of heaven. After this battle, the new-age geniuses of the Ocean Church were wiped out, and the upper-level saints also all lost their combat effectiveness. The power of the Life Church in the imperial capital was already in name only.
Even Bishop Bram himself suffered severe mental damage, with his mind filled with all sorts of confusing knowledge from other worlds.
By the time Ansu stepped onto the last step, the blood-red moonlight had engulfed everything in the world. He came to the top of heaven. The scenery in the distance was vast and clean, and the brilliant galaxy shrouded the mountains, rivers and land beneath his feet. Ansu paused, turned around and looked at the road he came from. Except for the corpses, there was no one else.
It's all been cleaned up.
An Su showed a refreshing smile, full of joy of harvest. He finally got off work today.
What a meaningful day.
In the end, the blood-red moonlight completely swallowed him.
The demigod body created by Merlin disappeared in blood.
All traces of sacrifice were also being cleaned up by Ansu's final magic power. The bones turned into ashes and disappeared in the clear night sky. There was no trace of them left. The red moon also slowly disappeared, leaving only the sky full of stars, illuminating the entire world.
The spirit broke free, returned to Naraku, and returned to reality.
