Chapter 84 The Flower of God (Part 2)
The narrow, dilapidated alleyway carried a salty, damp smell.
A figure dressed in a black robe walked through the alley, the intricate alleyway appearing to him as if it were flat ground.
Following the address on his phone, he arrived at a dilapidated house.
The man in black robes looked at the building in front of him with some surprise and doubt.
He even wondered if he had come to the wrong place. Shouldn't they live in mansions and drive luxury cars after inheriting their father's fortune?
Why do you live here?
With doubt in his heart, he went up the stairs. The house was very dilapidated, and the light bulbs installed in the corridor were still the old incandescent bulbs.
The dim light from the disc player cast a shadow of darkness, yet brought a sliver of illumination.
"...Over the mountains and across the sea, there lives a group of Smurfs, clever and witty!"
Before even reaching the top of the stairs, the man in the black robe heard a familiar and melodious singing voice.
She was a young girl wearing a light blue dress, her fair and slender legs exposed to the air.
He seemed to be in a good mood, as he was watering the scallion and garlic sprouts in two styrofoam boxes with a small watering can.
Like beautiful forest sprites, they danced gracefully in the afterglow, a sight of unparalleled beauty.
The man in the black robe stared blankly at her.
However, he hadn't been able to appreciate the scenery for long when the beautiful girl singing a cheerful song seemed to have also noticed the sneaky man in black robes.
"Who are you?"
As the girl spoke, she hurriedly ran back to her home and pulled the iron bars shut, as if only in this way could she feel safe.
"I am Liu Guangze." The man in black robes removed his black hood, revealing his true face.
I wonder what he has been through these days.
His once somewhat chubby face had become thin, his brows revealed maturity, and his brown eyes were like a bottomless abyss, yet also seemed to hold a deep sadness.
"kindness?"
When the girl realized that the person who came to the door was not one of the idle thugs from the neighborhood, but her most hated sworn brother, she instantly became much bolder.
A look of contempt and disgust appeared on her delicate face.
"What are you doing here, you disgusting fat pig?"
"If it weren't for you, my father's inheritance wouldn't have been stolen, and my mother and I wouldn't have moved to this godforsaken place. Instead, we'd be soaking in a hot spring in a big villa. It's all your fault, you idiot, that you let outsiders benefit so much!"
Liu Guangze seemed to be used to it, and just smiled and said, "I didn't know about this. I just wanted to come and see you."
If it weren't for this sudden and unexpected disaster, he might still be stuck in Ye Qing's basement in a daze.
He has lost almost everything, even his human identity. He just wanted to see his stepsister and stepmother; perhaps they were his last remaining family.
"Nobody welcomes you here, get out of here." The girl frowned, her gaze filled with disgust. Who would want a shut-in brother like this?
It's disgusting. All they do is stay in their room all day long. The walls are covered with all sorts of smelly, naked anime girls, and the place reeks of stench.
The thought that the other person said they were coming to see her gave her goosebumps all over.
"I won't go in, I'll just chat outside."
Faced with the girl's disdain, Liu Guangze's words were extremely humble. His group had been disbanded, his school had removed him from the student body, and he still couldn't go back to his home.
There is very little trace of him left in this world.
The blonde girl raised an eyebrow, about to unleash a torrent of abuse.
A deafening roar—the sound of a blood-red cyst falling from the sky—interrupted her words.
Smoke filled the air.
The two looked up at the same time and saw a bloody, swollen lump of flesh that was still throbbing.
Liu Guangze stared intently; over the past few days, this person had become quite familiar to him.
Eggs of Calamities: One of the methods used by the Abyss to release calamities.
With a hiss,
A monstrous beast crawled out from inside. Its head was enormous, covered with sharp horns, and its eyes emitted a chilling light.
Its body is enormous, with sharp claws growing from its fingertips, seemingly capable of tearing apart any prey.
But that wasn't the most terrifying part. A pair of blood-stained wings slowly unfurled behind it, proclaiming its ability to fly.
Abyssal Eagle, [Eclipse of the Moon]
Almost instinctively, Liu Guangze quickly determined the name and true strength of the monster in front of him.
As the true leader of the magical girl protection group, he not only studies magical girls, but also has extensive knowledge of disaster beasts.
These are all solid foundations laid in the hope of helping magical girls in the future. He has imagined more than once that he would meet a seriously injured magical girl in the future, take her home, and the two of them would get together.
Unfortunately, God did not wish.
He has become a demon, and there is no longer any hope of him falling in love with a magical girl.
"Um...brother~"
Amidst a sweet female voice, Liu Guangze turned around in surprise to look at his stepsister, who had never called him "brother" since moving into his home.
Just when he thought the other party was about to call him inside to hide from the monster, the other party's next words silenced him completely.
"Brother, could you please go down and lure that monster away? I'm begging you, I've never asked anyone for anything before."
"......good"
Zhuan Liu Guangze didn't say anything more. He put his black hood back on, and his voice became hoarse again. He didn't want these traces left behind by the world.
The incandescent lights that had been flickering in the corridor went out completely at that moment.
He went downstairs, his entire body completely enveloped in black mist, every inch of his skin exuding an aura of vicissitude and evil.
The eyes hidden behind the hood were incredibly deep, as if they could devour the souls of all living beings.
He stretched his arms forward.
Silvery-white lightning condensed from the tips of his five fingers.
This was the ability he gained after becoming a human-demon and secretly devouring the Abyss Raven; it was also the first time he had used it.
When he goes out on missions, he usually does odd jobs as a cleaner, and basically no one cares about him. But only he knows that after he becomes a human-demon, he has extraordinary power similar to that of a devourer.
You can gain the corresponding abilities by devouring someone.
The downside is that you need to process the other person's chaotic memories and their insane need for flesh and blood.
Only now has he cautiously absorbed three calamity beasts. If he wants to completely avenge himself against Ye Qing, there is still a long way to go.
However, the most important thing at hand is to deal with this abyssal beast first.
The abyssal energy he had gathered in his hand was released directly, and silvery-white lightning bloomed in the alley.
It engulfed the black figure of the calamity beast.
The power was so great that countless houses around the monster collapsed instantly without warning, accompanied by several screams.
Upon hearing the screams, a struggle flashed in Liu Guangze's eyes, but he quickly became resolute. He couldn't even pity himself, so what right did he have to pity others?
His eyes were fixed on the spot where he was attacking.
The spot where the Abyss Vulture had been was blasted into a huge hole, and white smoke was billowing out from the pitch-black hole.
He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
As expected, this [Eclipse]-level calamity beast was not easy to deal with.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the Abyss Vulture's wings were also emitting wisps of white smoke, indicating that it had still been attacked during the dodge.
The speed was not as fast as I had imagined.
The calamity beast attacked, charging forward with lightning speed. In the instant the beast moved, Liu Guangze also moved, black energy swirling around his arms, and a pair of snow-white bone spurs extending outwards.
The two monsters collided violently with a loud bang.
For a moment, the sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses could be heard, which gives an idea of the immense power of the battle between the two sides.
At this moment, Liu Guangze let out a cold laugh.
I was worried because you were flying in the air and I couldn't attack you.
But once you get down, you can forget about leaving.
Several streaks of silvery-white lightning surged up his body, instantly paralyzing the massive beast for a few seconds. In those few seconds, Liu Guangze seized the opportunity, his blinding bone blade, like a crescent moon, piercing fiercely into the beast's core.
The blood-red crystal core shattered with a crack.
The abyssal eagle's body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Liu Guangze looked around. The iron gate at the top of the stairs in front of him was twisted and deformed, the ground was covered with cracks, and there was a girl behind the wall on the second floor.
The girl cautiously peeked out from behind the second-floor wall, swallowing hard in fear.
She never imagined that her brother, whom she had always looked down upon, would possess such a powerful and terrifying side.
The moment the girl was discovered,
Liu Guangze's throat bobbed, and the desire to eat surged up in his heart again.
His abilities are immense, but they come with a significant side effect: he requires flesh and blood, fresh flesh and blood, to maintain this extraordinary power.
Compared to human flesh, the flesh of calamity beasts was merely dry rations, while the flesh of humans was a true delicacy. However, he always forcibly controlled himself, preventing himself from completely succumbing to the savage nature of a beast.
If he can't even control himself, how can he take revenge on Ye Qing, who ruined his family and caused him so much trouble?
Thoughts aside, malice began to surge wildly into my mind:
"Hmph, no one has ever treated you like family. You're just being delusional. Don't eat too much, just one of hers, just one!"
"Exactly, they've already taken all of your father's inheritance, and you're still here desperately suppressing your survival instincts. What's the point?"
"Your father's death might be related to them."
"Didn't you used to say you wanted revenge? How come you're scared now that the opportunity is right in front of you? Hah, coward!"
"waste......
.
One jumble of thoughts kept popping into my head, some I forced down while others surfaced.
He was about to lose control of his temper.
The moment to rush forward,
A delicate floral fragrance wafted over, subtle yet captivating, instantly extinguishing all desires in his heart—as if he had entered a state of sagehood in an instant.
"Are you the one I've been searching for?"
Liu Guangze looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman who looked sacred and solemn.
Her face was like the rising moon, gentle and beautiful. Her hands were fair and slender, gently clasped together in front of her chest, as if she were entrusting endless compassion and care in prayer.
The gauze dress slid down like flowing water, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin.
She seemed to float in the air, her bare feet, her slightly curved toes and the arches of her feet were beautiful, and you could even clearly see the delicate and smooth skin on the soles of her feet.
Bathed in light, the woman's figure appeared so pure and beautiful, like an angel descended from heaven to earth, bringing people endless warmth and hope, and completely extinguishing any worldly desires.
"Who are you?"
"I am your guide."
Liu Guangze remained silent for a long while before slowly replying:
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
He was completely unaware of the woman's approach, and what made him break out in a cold sweat was the moment this mysterious woman appeared.
The crystal core within him conveyed a feeling akin to a mouse encountering a cat, or a herbivore meeting a carnivore. Let alone being tempted to eat, even a Moon-level abyssal stone that had fallen to the ground wouldn't tempt the crystal core to touch or absorb.
The holy woman's eyes swept over him calmly for a moment before she slowly replied:
"If you can gain the Lord's approval, then you are the person I am looking for; if not, I will guide you to listen to the Lord's teachings."
"Um, I... what do I need to do?" Liu Guangze didn't dare to resist at all.
"You don't need to do anything."
The holy woman slowly shook her head, her slender, snow-white fingers gently touching his forehead.
A golden light shone into his forehead.
After a few minutes,
Liu Guangze opened his eyes in confusion and carefully sensed his surroundings. His body hadn't changed at all.
Nothing around him had changed, except for a crimson crystal core floating in the air before him. For no reason, he felt a sense of closeness to it.
His gaze fell upon the sacred woman beside him, a hint of fear and doubt in his eyes: "Has this meant I've received your approval?"
Every word and action of the other party could affect his life or death at any moment, how could he not be terrified?
"Yes, you have only gained the approval of the Flower of God. You still need to gain the approval of the Cursed Armor and the Demon Sword Grammer."
The holy woman slowly shook her head, but her gaze towards him was somewhat kinder than before.
"Hello, I have a few questions I would like to ask. What is the use of this crystal core known as the Flower of God?"
How can I find the Cursed Armor and the Demon Sword Grammer? How can I gain their approval?
Liu Guangze pondered the scarlet crystal core in his hand, feeling that everything was unreal, like a dream. He had only just escaped from his cage and set a goal for revenge, and immediately a high-level NPC, like one in a game, bestowed power upon him.
The holy woman glanced at the barely suppressed excitement on the other's face and let out a strange, soft laugh:
"The Flower of God can lead to the evolution of mankind, enabling them to become apostles of the Lord, to hear His teachings, to accept His commands, and to carry out His tasks..."
'
"The Cursed Armor and the Demon Sword Grammer don't need you to find them; they will come to you on their own. What you need to do now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible. If you are not strong enough, you may become their nourishment until the next candidate for Lord of the Abyss appears."
Liu Guangze nodded, indicating that he understood, but asked a question with some uncertainty.
"Can the Flower of God be used by anyone? Like a magical girl or something?"
"The stronger you are, the more effective it will be," the woman explained.
"If I collect all the items in the future, will all the Abyssal Beasts, including you Abyssal Demonesses, have to obey my commands?"
"Yes." The holy woman nodded gently.
"I understand now." Liu Guangze could hardly contain his joy.
I never imagined that one day he would become the protagonist, even if he becomes the villain in the RPG "Four Seasons Goddess". That is still the protagonist.
He had no desire to rule the world; he only wanted revenge on Ye Qing and those who had wronged him. And there just happened to be one right in front of him. Liu Guangze's burning gaze swept over the girl behind him, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "You'll be my first test subject..."
The holy woman shook her head slightly, her kind gaze slowly turning indifferent, and her eyes shifted from him to the building behind her. Then, her illusory figure gradually disappeared.
This is just a clone of hers. If her real body came, that rebellious girl Huan Die would probably rush over and fight her to the death. If that attracted the magician Kikyo, things wouldn't be fun.
Over the years, Kikyo the Magician has kept her eyes on the Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly, which has reduced the pressure on the Abyss side.
This is also the main reason why she has always allowed Huan Die to cause trouble in Ye Qiu City.
After the Abyss Demoness disappeared, Liu Guangze walked toward his foul-mouthed stepsister with a cold expression.
"Don't come any closer, you monster..." The blonde girl's beautiful face was filled with panic.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have come out to watch the spectacle.
Liu Guangze ignored the girl's warning and waved his right hand lightly, instantly sending out a large number of smooth tentacles from all directions.
The girl had never seen such a meeting before.
It turned around and started running, but just a few seconds later, its limbs were bound by tentacles and it was hanging in the air.
"Gurgle~ You fat pig, let me go!"
Liu Guangze strode up to the flushed girl, ignoring her insults, cupped her cheeks, and felt the softness of her skin.
"How pleasant to hear!"
"What...no, I was wrong, brother."
The girl's skin became increasingly rosy under the touch of the tentacles, and her body gradually became weak.
Seeing the other person's gaze shift downwards,
In an instant, a lot of things came to mind.
"You bastard! You pervert! Where are you looking?! I'll kill you, I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Shh, don't rush."
Liu Guangze snapped his fingers lightly, and instantly a huge tentacle spread out.
"Gurgle~" The girl was no longer able to speak.
Under the girl's terrified gaze, Liu Guangze raised the scarlet crystal core in his hand and pressed it lightly against her abdomen.
Accompanied by a surge of purplish-black abyssal hydrogen, the blonde girl seemed to be enduring unparalleled pain.
His eyes rolled upwards, and his whole body convulsed.
The golden ends of her hair instantly turned jet black.
The girl's light yellow dress disappeared, replaced by a very petite crop top and a super short skirt.
A black choker appeared around her neck, adorned with a gray gemstone.
A strange, demonic pattern appeared on her exposed lower abdomen, shimmering with a pale pink light.
A pair of demonic wings and a long, thin tail emerged from her back.
The boy who had been suppressed all along,
There was no way to resist it. At this moment, those eyes turned bloodshot, and it pounced on the prey like a hungry wolf.
On the other side, someone scoffed, "Pfft~ You men are all the same."
Beside a tall building not far away, Chigen Mima, dressed in a black evening gown, scoffed, "They're always creatures where the small head controls the big head."
Wan Jie, dressed in a black suit, stood straight behind him, not daring to refute.
The suit he was wearing was bought for him by the girl in front of him at Ye Qing's instruction, but it can't really be called buying it.
Today, a major disaster occurred in Changwu District. Almost all clothing stores were unlocked, with their glass doors wide open.
The beautiful young woman in front of him led him to choose from one shop to another.
He did encounter some calamity beasts along the way, but he dealt with them all, while the girl stood aside and watched.
The other party will only intervene if he encounters a problem he cannot solve.
"Miss Qianyuan, shall we go and snatch that strange crystal core now?" Wan Jie asked with a hint of flattery.
"No rush. I've investigated Liu Guangze. He not only has a beautiful stepsister, but also a still-attractive stepmother. I don't believe that a chubby boy who has been suppressed for so long can resist the temptation of a mother-daughter rice bowl."
When he's exhausted, that's when we'll make our move.
Seeing the mouse enter the mousetrap, Chigen Yama was in a good mood today and offered a brief explanation.
Hearing this, Wan Jie broke out in a cold sweat. If he were that chubby Liu Guangze, he would probably be dead too.
Who would have thought that Liu Guangze was able to escape from the basement because the boss deliberately let him out?
Therefore, he even went to ask Chigen Mima why the boss didn't choose to directly subdue Liu Guangze.
Chihiro Mima squinted at him and uttered a cold sentence, "For someone who has nothing..."
How will the young master control him?
