“Is that… a door?”
Gazing at the Wall of Flesh, the professionals on scene were all visibly excited. Among them, the ones with selfish motives made up the majority.
To them, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Nia City’s citizens meant nothing compared to their own.
“So, if we leave from there… can we return to our own world?”
Connie took an unconscious step back.
The Wall of Flesh only brought about a feeling of imminent danger for her. “Under the gaze of the Goddess, we have nothing to fear…”
At this point, Mu’er had finished his prayer. He strode forward, attempting to touch the Wall of Flesh with his gloved hand. A halo of purity shimmered on his glove.
Crack!
Crack!
The holy light gradually spread all over the Wall of Flesh, accompanied by a sound that made everyone’s teeth itch.
The flesh receded, revealing scarlet patterns. It looked like the wall had really turned into a door. ‘Did we really… manage to solve it?’
‘Did an escape route… really appear so easily?’ Su Lu took a step back, his face full of caution.
“Shevi… Shevina…”
In the end, the crucified man began to chant the sacred name.
A crevice appeared, splitting him evenly in two from his forehead downward.
The bloody door opened inwardly, revealing a dark space behind it.
Beyond the door was…
“Danger!”
As if shocked by electricity, Su Lu’s inspiration recoiled. He’d sensed an unimaginable risk!
Without hesitation, he quickly retreated.
After all, having achieved the third rank of the [Odd Technician] class, even a demon mansion wouldn’t give him such an unsettling feeling.
“Behind the door… hides an indescribable terror!” “Don’t look! Looking at it leads to death!”
He retreated swiftly.
Meanwhile, Muter’s prayer continued to echo in his ears, ‘ . dust to dust, earth to earth… that which is passing… will eventually fade into history…”
“In the name of the Goddess…”
“You… cannot come out!”
“Damn it…”
Su Lu quickly retreated, his grave expression showing that he’d figured it out.
“A legendary professional lurking behind us, just to open the gate and let us escape when things are at stake? Who would believe that?!”
“If they wanted to save people, the hundreds of thousands of civilians outside are far more important than the professionals like us!”
“Mu’er’s aim was never to provide aid, but to… investigate and seal?”
“To investigate the fallen Ancient God, Shevina… and… block all possibilities of its return? Let everything disappear into the mysterious spirit world?” “For this purpose, even the sacrifice of a city is an acceptable price?”
“And us professionals, are we just innocent victims caught in the crossfire? Or are we the… ‘price’ necessary for the ‘sealing’? It doesn’t seem like it…”
All he knew now was that he needed to leave, and the farther away the better.
That Door of Flesh was definitely not any escape route, but rather… a Gateway to Unknown Terror!
“What happened?”
Outside Nia City.
Dunstan stood suddenly after looking towards the direction of Nia City, “The speed at which the Spirit World is encroaching… is moving at an unbelievable
pace, did Mu’er do something?
He had always thought there was something off about Mu’er.
Mouthed about ‘the will of God’ and the word ‘wait’, yet he took the initiative to enter a soul trance and ventured into Nia City.
“What are those zealous believers… plotting? Could it be… some form of containment?”
After all, Dunstan was a legendary professional of the [Arcane] path. His mind raced, quickly guessing some of the situation.
Even gods that had fallen in history carried an unimaginable power.
It’s possible that merely because someone in the real world is chanting its name, it could act as a lever to initiate its resurrection and return!
Compared to a rescue mission, to prevent the revival of this ancient god, letting events take their course, and sealing everything deep within the Spirit World would be the most effective way of containment and sealing!
Even if… it meant sacrificing a city and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!
“Heh… the Church!”
A cold look flashed across Dunstan’s face.
In the previous Arcane Spirit incident, while the Goddess of Light was not the mastermind, she, along with the Federation, merely watched as Green Tree Castle struggled against the enemy.
It was already obvious from their attitudes.
“They’re preparing… or rather, fearing that someone might once again ascend to divinity? It’s useless… with the revival of the Transcendent tide, new gods will inevitably arise. It’s the will of fate…”
Su Lu’s reaction wasn’t slow at all, and there were few who made the same choice as him.
Just as they turned to run down a fork in the path, the clash inevitably occurred!
The light representing the Goddess exploded in the passageway, brilliant and dazzling.
However, in the next instant, it flickered like a firefly, entering an extremely dim state.
Inside the passage, countless arms reached out from behind the Door of Flesh, grabbing hold of Muter’s spiritual body and pulling him into the door.
The power of a legendary professional and the marvels he possessed were unable to shake these arms in the slightest!
What’s more, numerous arms, each acting as if it had a target, reached toward the adventurers who were still in a state of shock.
“Help me!”
Those returning to their senses thought about crying for help, but it was already too late.
Hand by hand, professional after professional was pulled into the door.
Strangely enough, the hands seemed to possess their own wisdom and deliberately ignored Oliver and others who were still asleep on the ground.
“Don’t look back!”
Inside the sewer, Su Lu was fleeing for his life.
“I’m going to die, I’m going to die… that old Mu’er cleric, it’s his fault. If he wanted to seal the Evil God, why didn’t he say so earlier? Did he want us to deliver ourselves to death?” “Those church people, they didn’t even spare their own lives, let alone others…”
“What… are they thinking?”
He activated the Agile Steps skill full throttle, barely visible as more than a blur.
Sometimes he would run up walls, overcome numerous obstacles, and evade the dangerous energy emanating from behind.
“What’s more important is… it even failed!”
After traversing quite a distance, Su Lu saw the sewer exit, immediately leapt up. The hazy view of Nia City looked heavenly to him. Lifting his head to take a look around, he was stunned to find he wasn’t alone.
Above him, Connie hovered mid-air in a graceful flying pose.
And Freddy was keeping up with him in a leisurely stride, his black deer-skin boots emitting a mysterious glow.
“Let’s go!”
The three of them looked at one another and retreated without any agreement.
“What… just happened?”
“I don’t know… but it’s clear… things went awry, even a fifth level professional got buried…”
“That terror… it’s not something we can handle..”
