American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi poked his head out from the tunnel, and what came into view was an abandoned room filled with clutter, most of which had already decayed, covered in a thick layer of dust.

He wanted to move forward, but the familiar sensation of the barrier emerged once again.

The position he was in was at the base of the church, and the barrier protecting the church was a massive circle, with no exceptions even at its foundation.

The Sub-Divine Power within him blazed, as Xu Yi prepared to forcefully break through the barrier, this time the strength of the barrier had increased several-fold compared to before.

This was because when he breached the barrier, he carried two "prohibited items" with him.

In his left hand, he held the drill-bit schoolboy, and in his right, he carried Alesha.

Although the barrier was strong, it ultimately shattered in the face of the abundant Sub-Divine Power.

Xu Yi controlled his heavy body, landing lightly.

"I wonder where Rein has hidden himself?"

Xu Yi looked around, but not even a ghost's shadow could be seen.

The drill-bit schoolboy had created two tunnels, in addition to the one right in front of him, the other also led to the base of the church.

Rein had entered the church through that tunnel, by this time he must have gone into hiding since no sounds of battle had come from within the church.

Xu Yi felt extremely urgent, but at the moment he couldn't do anything but lie low temporarily.

To act now would still result in being sealed and banished by Metatron, so the best opportunity would be to wait for the cult organization's ritual to start.

Xu Yi was anxious because the next slaughter in the ruins was about to commence.

The familiar air raid siren sounded, darkness quietly descended, and Xu Yi inwardly sighed, "It's still too late after all!"

Feeling helpless, he got up, preparing to head to the Blood Sea ruins. All he could hope for now was that the cult's ritual wouldn't happen while he was away.

Xu Yi suddenly stopped, looking puzzledly at Alesha, who seemed to have no intention of following.

Just then, Xu Yi felt a call from the Black Void Gate, countless times stronger than before.

A surge of information flooded his mind, and Xu Yi suddenly realized that the Black Void Gate only required a ruler of Silent Hill to enter, and it did not specify which one.

Now Xu Yi was also one of the rulers of Silent Hill, meaning either he or Alesha could stay behind.

Xu Yi and Alesha exchanged glances, both remaining silent.

The peril of the Blood Sea ruins was unquestionable, to say that whoever entered was practically stepping through death's door.

Xu Yi certainly wanted to survive, carrying the invaluable Dark Crystal with him; if he could take it out, achieving the position of a foreign god was not an unattainable matter.

Alesha saw that Xu Yi made no move and turned to proceed.

Someone had to enter the Blood Sea ruins, or they both would die.

Just as Alesha took two steps, Xu Yi reached out a hand to stop her.

"Let me go!"

Xu Yi communicated with Alesha using the voice of the soul.

If Xu Yi entered the Blood Sea ruins, he still had a chance to survive, but for Alesha, it was a certainty of death with no return.

Last time Alesha decisively lent him the World Power because she trusted him. Now Xu Yi could not make the decision to send Alesha to her death either.

Moreover, once the cult's ritual began, Alesha needed to stay on the scene to seize those powers that belonged to her.

So, for either reason, the person who should go to the Blood Sea ruins was him.

Alesha gazed at Xu Yi's back, a rare flicker of emotion appearing in her indifferent eyes.

...

Xu Yi's consciousness gradually recovered, and he was once again in the Blood Sea ruins.

The scene of the ruins changed again, with black high walls all around, forming a vast circle, somewhat reminiscent of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

He stood in the center of the Colosseum, the vast pupil in the sky seemed almost within reach.

More and more shadows appeared within the Colosseum, and Xu Yi's heart sank further and further.

He felt incapable of crossing the black high walls, this slaughter in the ruins had actually confined the space.

In such a narrow place, the fighting would undoubtedly become even fiercer.

Under the huge pupil, the Ancient Clock swayed; the moment the somber bell tolled, Xu Yi felt numerous gazes lock onto him.

Each gaze belonged to an extremely strong creature of corruption, without exception.

It seemed Xu Yi's performance last time had made a deep impression; as soon as the battle began, so many monsters had set their sights on him.

Xu Yi kicked away the obstructive fish in front of him and slapped away an attempt at a sneak attack by a monkey with the back of his knife, continuing his desperate sprint.

The monkey let out a piercing screech as insect-like wings sprouted from its back, and its chest pulsed with flesh, resembling a man-eating flower.

"This monkey really holds a grudge!" Xu Yi cursed inwardly.

Last time, he had only kicked it once, but now it acted as if it had a deep-seated vendetta akin to a blood feud, relentlessly pursuing him to the death.

Giant leaves covered with skull patterns fell in front of him, and Xu Yi immediately altered his course, preferring to carve a bloody path through monsters rather than touch that leaf.

For a touch from that leaf would place upon him a powerful curse, one that even Sub-Divine Power struggled to dispel.

No sooner had Xu Yi broken through the encirclement than he felt as if his chest had been blasted by a cannonball, sending him flying backwards.

The huge figure of the Void Fish flickered in and out of view in the air, prompting Xu Yi to swear internally.

The most troublesome was that invisible Void Fish, whose sneak attacks were nearly impossible to guard against.

Seeing the encroaching horde of corrupted creatures, Xu Yi knew he couldn't go on like this. Although he had plenty of Sub-Divine Power, it couldn't withstand such reckless depletion.

The problem was, he could think of no way to break the situation.

While running wildly, Xu Yi felt something wrap around his neck from behind. Startled, he knew trouble was imminent.

As the saying goes, a prolonged defense will inevitably break, and he had indeed exposed a flaw, which that vengeful monkey had seized upon. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

The monkey clung to the back of his neck, the chest-born man-eating flower latching firmly onto his back.

The flow of energy inside Xu Yi, including his Sub-Divine Power, became extremely sluggish.

The surrounding creatures of corruption swarmed over, and by now it was too late to consider burning Sub-Divine Power to break free.

"Am I to fall here?" Xu Yi sighed internally.

Just then, a huge shadow descended from the sky; it was a massive hand-spider.

The center of the spider was a tumorous bulge, surrounded by pale human arms in place of its limbs, with colossal hands braced against the ground.

The hand-spider caught the monkey on Xu Yi's neck, exerted force violently, and tore the monkey off, hurtling it like a cannonball at the Void Fish attempting a sneak attack.

The other massive arms swept across, flinging the nearby monsters away.

Xu Yi looked at the hand-spider before him with shock and bewilderment.

Was it helping him, or did it want to monopolize the "delicacy" all to itself?

The face-spider pounced in front of Xu Yi, the tumorous center churning as a familiar face slowly emerged.

"West?"

Xu Yi was stunned, not expecting the hand-spider to actually be West!

So much had happened after passing through the Black Void Gate that he had almost forgotten about West.

He hadn't expected West to have turned into a monster, let alone to have survived until now.

"I'm sorry! I left a mark on you, but it is on account of that mark that I was able to recognize you,"

West's voice was very coarse, his expression desolate, a far cry from his previous confidence in everything he did.

"We don't have much time, so I'll be brief. I will create an opportunity for you soon; seize the chance to kill all these monsters," West said urgently.

"Why help me?" Xu Yi voiced his confusion.

"I did a lot of preparation before coming in, but I still underestimated the Black Void Gate. I can't resist the urge to kill, and my consciousness is about to dissipate."

A rich blood color crept into West's pupils.

A smile suddenly crossed West's face as he looked at Xu Yi and said softly, "Maybe... you are the Chosen One."

The Chosen One? What did that mean?

Xu Yi's mind was full of questions, but clearly, there was no time for thorough questioning in this situation.

"Remember! Find a way to survive until the end, and then become a disciple; you might just obtain a mysterious great reward," West instructed earnestly, staring into Xu Yi's eyes.
