Chapter 786 Blood Mark
Xia Weiyi, at the lowest point of his life, seemed to have found redemption after being chosen by the "Deity."
He had never considered the possibility that Lofvis might be deceiving him; since this was his only hope, he dared not entertain that thought.
Thus, he became obsessed with bringing about the descent of Lofvis, using the knowledge from the Rune Book to twist Ning Zhewan into a monster, and planning the entire Arbiter video from start to finish.
This was his salvation, but it was also his revenge; in the depths of his heart, he wished for those seven thousand people to die, for them to become the nourishment that would bring the Deity into this world.
For that purpose, he was willing to sacrifice everything, including himself.
If the ritual had been completed step by step, maintaining the connection between the Rune Book and Lofvis, the descent of Lofvis would have been rapid, and no one could have stopped him.
But now, Xia Weiyi had been captured by Wen Wen, and Ning Zhewan, who was in a crucial position for the ritual, had already wavered. Therefore, Xia Weiyi must start the ritual now, because if he didn’t, there would be no chance left.
Although he hadn’t methodically killed those four thousand-plus people, which caused some flaws in the ritual, he had already imprinted the marks on those hands by repeatedly watching the video.
Even by activating it prematurely, those people could not escape; his revenge would still succeed, and it would be even more sensational!

The chattering bats flitted chaotically above the warehouse, seemingly protecting the dozen or so people below.
