Although the high priest's words almost overturned Lottie's three views and beliefs, the news about her sister still made Lottie's heart waver, and she couldn't help but follow him.
However, when she followed the other party to the place where her so-called sister was, Lottie was quickly stunned.
This is a dilapidated temple that looks quite old.
On the walls on both sides of the temple, one can vaguely see ancient and mysterious murals, which depict scenes of worshiping gods. The worshippers are wearing uniform robes, with fangs faintly visible at the corners of their mouths. They are all vampires.
As for the god, it was not clear.
All one could see was the ancient and heavy throne beneath her. Even after so many years, it still gave people a sense of majesty and vastness.
It was obvious that this was the temple of some ancient god from the blood clan.
Lottie was not very interested in this.
In fact, she didn't even look at the temple carefully. After entering here, her eyes naturally fell on the altar in the center of the temple.
It was a rather terrifying altar, with layers of crimson book pages on the base, giving people a sense of heart-wrenching terror, and layers of tumors and blood vessels attached to it.
The living, beating flesh and blood intertwined with each other and gathered above the altar, connecting to a swollen and ugly mass of flesh.
No, it's not so much a piece of meat as it is more like a "receptacle" made up of octopus-like tentacles, with a huge ugly eye surrounding it in the center.
God is above!
What on earth is this?!
Lottie was stunned.
Soon, the high priest gave Lottie an answer that she couldn't believe:
"This is your sister."
elder sister?!
Lottie's eyes widened:
"No... You're lying to me!"
The high priest did not answer, but chuckled and said to the closed eyeballs:
"Mary, your sister is here to see you."
After hearing the high priest's words, the ugly eyeball trembled slightly.
The wrinkled eyelids were slightly twisted, revealing a vaguely human face with an extremely painful expression.
"Sister?! Sister!"
Lottie instantly recognized her sister's appearance and rushed over.
The huge eyeball struggled, trying desperately to open its eyes, but in the end it just trembled slightly and could do nothing.
"What happened to my sister? Why did my sister become like this? What did you do to her?!"
Lottie looked at the high priest and said tremblingly, her voice suppressing anger.
The high priest smiled slightly:
"No, Miss Lottie, it's not something I did. If I have to say, your sister is like this, it's actually your fault."
"My credit?"
Lottie was stunned.
"That's right."
The high priest nodded.
He looked at the ferocious eyeball with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he was appreciating the most beautiful work of art:
"Ten years ago, the Count and Countess of Castel destroyed our divine descent plan, causing it to fail..."
"However, it is not a complete failure. Although the Flame Demon has been sealed and the Holy Body Transformation Ceremony has been interrupted, we unexpectedly obtained this Demon Eye..."
"God's Descent?! You... you are not performing the Fire Demon Summoning!"
Lottie's eyes widened.
The high priest sneered:
"Balrog summons? Hey!"
"If it's just to summon a legendary fire demon, it's not worth the trouble..."
As he spoke, he looked at the trembling eyeball and continued:
"The transformation of the holy body failed, and I am on the verge of death. I have lost the possibility of receiving the coming of my Lord..."
"However, the Demon Eye is a monster that is quite comparable to the power of our Lord, but cannot exist for long in the world of Miria..."
"Haha, so I came up with a bold plan..."
"In this case, why not combine the two, and then use the power of the cursed page to reshape it and create a brand new holy body for my Lord?"
Fusion... Fusion?!
Lottie was stunned.
Feeling her inner trembling, the high priest raised his lips and whispered in her ear:
"Yes, fusion..."
"Ms. Count Broglie, the thing in front of you is a fusion of your sister and the monster..."
After hearing the high priest's words, Lottie felt dizzy and almost fell down.
She stared blankly at the horrifying eyeball in front of her, her whole heart trembling.
She knew, she had always known.
In the ceremony ten years ago, she was originally the main sacrifice, but her sister discovered that something was wrong with their father and stepped forward to take her place.
Otherwise, she should be the one suffering now.
Feeling Lottie's inner pain, the high priest's smile became even brighter.
He sighed softly beside Lottie's ear and continued:
"But unfortunately, the soul of the holy body still exists."
"After the initial combination, she was unwilling to use the power of the Demon Eye to further merge with it, which has prevented our plan from being implemented..."
"She had been uncooperative with us until you showed up."
As he spoke, the high priest looked at Lottie and smiled meaningfully:
"Haha, Miss Lottie, I really want to thank you."
"In order to help you and cover up the traces of you saving those girls, your sister is finally willing to use the power of the Devil's Eye."
"You save the girls targeted by the Dream Salon again and again, and she uses the power of the Devil's Eye's 'dream' to help you clean up the mess again and again..."
"You think your actions are flawless, but you don't know... there is always someone carrying the burden for you behind the scenes."
"Thank you, after all these years, she has finally completely become one with the Devil's Eye."
"With your help, she finally became the monster she didn't want to be."
With a thud, Lottie fell to the ground.
Her face was pale, and her blue lips trembled slightly:
"no, do not want… "
"don't want!"
"That's not what I meant... That's not what I meant!"
Finding and saving her sister has been Lottie's spiritual support for many years.
At this moment, after hearing the truth from the high priest, she almost collapsed.
Specks of black smoke slowly emerged from behind Lottie and continued to dissipate.
Not only that, the eyeballs on the altar also began to tremble, as if they were also in some kind of confusion.
Seeing this scene, a gleam of surprise flashed in the high priest's eyes.
He knew that the heat was almost enough.
He leaned over again and whispered in Lottie's ear:
"Yes, Countess Broglie."
"You know what? Your sister always thought that the cover-up she did for you was perfect!"
"But alas, I knew everything from the beginning."
"From the very beginning... your actions are completely under my control!"
"Her covering up is meaningless, because she is covering up a traitor!"
"Your thoughts are not your thoughts, your kindness is not your kindness, all your good thoughts, all your ideas are false..."
"You are nothing more than my tool. You are nothing more than the sinner who caused your sister to completely turn into a monster."
"No!"
After hearing what the high priest said, Lottie finally broke down completely.
Black mist gushed out from her body, and an evil and corrupt aura slowly rose from her body...
Seeing this scene, the high priest smiled with satisfaction.
As the medium of God's descent, he naturally left a backup plan on Lottie.
As a medium for communicating with the gods, what is needed to make her fully awaken is not powerful magic.
Rather, it is a power that can resonate with the gods.
For believers, that means a firm and strong faith.
For the Blood Demon Cult, that means pain and despair.
Only when one falls into extreme pain and despair, will the power of corruption and darkness awaken!
When the medium awakens, it is time to begin communicating with the gods and perform the descent ceremony...
"The time is almost right. Gather all true believers. It's time to start the ceremony."
The high priest turned around and spoke to the blood demon cultists behind him.
"yes."
The Blood Demon Cultists bowed in awe and left.
However, as time passed, the Blood Demon Cultists who had left did not return.
