Chapter 878: Blood God’s fate
If the city's structure resembled a maze, then the temple pushed the geometry of its chaotic architecture to the next level. There were countless connections between the corridors; some seemingly going in a straight direction only to lead you to the beginning, while others seemed like an exit and were actually the path to the center.
It was not the power of space that made this place a nightmarish maze but the power of absolute distortion and corruption, one so intense that it could even affect the fabric of reality.
There was no doubt in Cain's mind that without the [Multidimensional Scan Force Field], he would be lost in this temple, as his domain over the Law of Space was not very useful in this place.
Cain had to move back, as for a strange reason, that was the only way to advance. It took him several hours, but finally, a vast, vaulted chamber appeared in his sight. The engravings in this place were much more explicit than in the corridors, depicting all sorts of cosmic horrors swallowing entire worlds and spreading their darkness across the cosmos.
Such pictures would normally be considered hyperbole since there was no way an individual could devour a planet. Still, for some reason, Cain felt those engravings told a story, a very real one.
Although these carvings were impressive and shocked his mind, Cain's eyes immediately went to the center of the vault, where he saw a scene to which the word "nightmarish" could not do justice.
There were four figures, all of them covered in dark robes and tentacles coming from their bodies and faces. Their auras were as malevolent as possible, not falling behind that of the Depravita of Blood.
One was in each cardinal direction, and in the middle was a person floating with his arms extended. He seemed to be a member of the Atrox Race, but his entire figure was full of deformities.
"That is the Blood God."
Despite all the deformations in the floating figure, Cain was able to identify the man in the center of the room as none other than the Blood God, the Leader of the Tier 1 Dark Faction, Blood Path.
All the negative and chaotic evil energy that the temple was summoning was being channeled into the Blood God, and it was from his body that the dark red radiation waves emerged.
The Blood God's eyes were completely black as a dark liquid emerged from every orifice of his body, and although he had a heartbeat, it did not seem he was really alive. If he were still conscious, even in the slightest way, every second of his existence would be nothing short of a horrible nightmare.
The monstrous priests chanted those strange words as they seemed to carry out some sort of ritual involving the dark, ominous energy and the Blood God. Each of them chanted one part of the ritual's incantation.
