Chapter 996: Chapter 443: How Do We... Devour a ’God’?

At the same time, eerie sounds of chewing emerged beside his ears, an indescribable sticky wetness began to surge upward incessantly.

"Raise your head."

Said a benevolent voice.

"Raise your head, child." A gentle voice also echoed.

In that instant, a slight tremor appeared on Chen Yuan’s expression, and then he slowly stood up from the ground, opening his eyes.

The next moment.

An indescribably eerie scene unfolded before his eyes like a painting.

It was a pool of crimson sticky blood, and amidst the flowing blood, it seemed alive, with every drop faintly bearing facial features—twisted and malicious, indescribable.

With a strong and terrifying impact on the Heart and Spirit, ordinary people who laid eyes upon any of those faces would instantly descend into madness and frenzy.

As the perspective extended upward, it would seem these so-called ghostly faces, blood pool, were merely a layer of gauze, a veil donned by ’someone’.

And that ’someone’ was currently standing behind Chen Yuan, arms wrapped around his shoulders, intimate and gentle.

It was a woman with a gentle face, eyes closed, her expression compassionate, her entire body composed of blood, yet devoid of eeriness, instead imparting a sense of warmth.

Half of her face was pressed against Chen Yuan’s, her sticky blood staining his visage, yet Chen Yuan dared not make a single move.

The gauze surged, the blood pool shifted, countless ghostly faces erupted in maniacal laughter.

Amidst this laughter, a shade of pale slowly emerged from the blood pool, a giant composed entirely of white bones, countless shattered fragments piled within.

Within its jade-like skull, two cold Bone Fires trembled slightly, a pair of clear, kind eyes gazed downward, falling upon Chen Yuan.

And within those eyes, two pale figures emerged, ordinary human skeletons extending from the pupils.

"Worship the compassionate Blood Mother, the benevolent Bone Father!"

Chen Yuan spoke again respectfully, wishing to bow down, but an invisible pressure weighed upon him, restricting any movement.

"No need for that, you are our child, and you are our most beloved..."

The crimson woman with compassion spoke softly, seeming unwilling to see him bow.

Yet before she continued, the pale giant spoke again: "also our beloved devotee and... Food!!!"

As the voice fell, the countless faces of blood began their twisted maniacal laughter again.

The eerie sounds of chewing began to resonate around.

One could see something appear in the mouths of the woman and the giant, seemingly snacking on something, and that something was Chen Yuan’s arm which had just exploded into powder.

Watching his arm be chewed and devoured, Chen Yuan spoke with a voice filled with admiration and reverence.

"To become your devotee is my honor, and to serve as your Food is my life’s sole glory."

Wow~

The compassionate Blood Mother transformed into a pool of blood, surging out from behind him, falling onto the shoulder of the benevolent Bone Father.

"Indeed, among countless devotees, you are the one we favor most."

"But you, child, have not come for a long time."

"Speak, what brings you to us this time?"

The Blood Mother spoke softly, her tone exceedingly gentle, yet within this gentleness hid an inexplicable danger.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan hastily spoke.

"Reporting to Blood Mother, the birth ritual for the Holy Son has been completed, but this time, the body into which the Muddy World Divine Son descended possesses its own consciousness."

With these words, the atmosphere around both Blood Mother and Bone Father quivered instantly.

Blood-colored ghostly faces started to rise, the surrounding space began to reveal pairs of twisted eyes.

The entire space began to spiral into chaos, countless shadowy figures appeared around, emitting ear-piercing wails.

"Muddy World has descended??"

The Blood Mother screamed.

"Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!"

"Its true form has long been devoured by us, yet what remains is just a trace of its indelible concept!"

"That concept cannot be entirely erased, only weakened over time, wasn’t this assigned to you to deal with!!!"

The Bone Father’s voice was deafening, carrying dreadful divinity.

As his voice exploded, Chen Yuan’s surroundings began to collapse incessantly, pairs of eyes started to emerge from various parts of his body, an excruciating pain of peeling skin and drawing veins, corroding bones and burning channels, surged a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

Even Chen Yuan, faced with such agony, had a face twisted in extreme distortion, sweat in large swathes had already begun seeping from his body, speaking in a panicked manner.

"Under Bone Father, this matter has been continuously pursued, the church holds a ceremony every century to weaken the Divine Son’s concept and according to your instructions, I transformed the arising belief into Divine Grace, engraving it onto all believers.

Our lives, our everything, hangs precariously on your fingertips.

Your grand aspiration, I have never forgotten, since our meeting from humble beginnings, I have never been negligent even for a moment!"

Chen Yuan’s speech was labored, as if he would completely dissipate the next second.

Upon hearing his words, the Blood Mother sitting atop Bone Father’s shoulder revealed a trace of reluctance, raising her hand slightly, watching as a drop of crimson blood fell onto Chen Yuan’s body.
