American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi recalled the scenes from before, feeling a chill throughout his body.

The creatures before him were Dark Creatures corrupted, and Xu Yi naturally had no psychological burden when killing them. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Yet, immersing himself in such brutality and bloodlust was not his nature; it felt as if he had become someone else.

Xu Yi examined his soul's Origin, his heart sinking continuously.

His once crystal-clear soul was now shrouded in a layer of black fog; his spirit was becoming tainted, his soul starting to fall into Corruption.

Xu Yi caught Alisa's gaze, his heart trembling violently; it was the look one gives to a dead man.

"The killing intent that I just revealed must have been noticed by her!"

Xu Yi instantly understood the cause and effect.

If his soul hadn't been tainted, he would never have done something so foolish.

Pyramid Head was Alisa's creation; naturally, she had means to restrain him. Moreover, there was no conflict between them; they were, in fact, comrades on the same boat.

He would have to be insane to want to kill her.

"No, I must find a way to remedy this!"

Xu Yi knew he could not go on like this, or else the only outcome waiting for him would be "house cleaning" by Alisa.

But he soon had no time to ponder these thoughts, as the Dark Creatures surged toward him like a tide. He swung the machete in his hand instinctively, the sticky black blood dripping along the blade.

New Energy surged into his body; if before, he found this energy as sweet as fine wine, now it felt like poison, to be avoided at all costs.

The strong desire for slaughter rose in his heart once more; with great difficulty, Xu Yi managed to fend off those murderous impulses with his strong willpower.

But he was well aware that this was only a temporary solution, not addressing the root cause.

This time he had overcome it, but what about the next time, and the time after that?

Xu Yi glanced at Alisa on his shoulder with envy; he suddenly understood her approach.

She had created Pyramid Head to avoid getting her own hands dirty and absorbing too much Abnormal Energy, which would lead to the Corruption of her soul.

Whether humans or Dark Creatures, once completely corrupted by the Black Void Gate, they would become hounds of the Black Void Gate.

Xu Yi couldn't replicate Alisa's method; he could only try another plan.

He stopped killing the Corrupted creatures and chose to evade, to avoid battle as much as possible.

But it didn't go smoothly.

Pyramid Head was built for strength, not agility.

And there were too many Corrupted creatures around; he was quickly surrounded.

He tried not to kill the creatures around him, but this idea was obviously too naive.

In a battleground like a meat grinder, it was either kill or be killed; the difficulty of becoming a compassionate monk is evident.

At first, he could still withstand attacks with a body "Impervious to All Laws," but as time went on, he encountered increasingly terrifying creatures.

"Impervious to All Laws" was clearly an exaggeration; it only allowed him to achieve a certain degree of "Magic Immunity," and his body was soon covered in blood.

"I'll die if this continues!" Xu Yi realized the seriousness of the problem.

Only by fighting can one become stronger here; he was temporarily in the first echelon, but as he kept avoiding battles, he was standing still while the other creatures continuously grew stronger. He would definitely be eliminated in the end.

Alisa looked at Xu Yi in surprise, somewhat astonished at his performance.

But she didn't say anything, just sitting quietly on Xu Yi's shoulder.

"This is an absolute dead end!"

Xu Yi looked at the oncoming wave of Corrupted creatures, feeling despair.

To survive here, one must not stop fighting. But the more one fights, the more Abnormal Energy absorbed, leading to the soul's Corruption.

A terrifying human-faced rose attacked; it was an entity no weaker than Xu Yi. He had no choice but to set aside other thoughts and focus entirely on the enemy.

The silvery flash of the blade flickered; the human-faced rose rapidly dodged, not wanting to be cut despite its strong regenerative ability.

Those seemingly simple cleaves carried the effect of annihilation.

Their strengths were very close, but Xu Yi, with Alesia as his "support," eventually gained the upper hand.

A flaw in the human-faced rose's defense appeared, Xu Yi's eyes brightened, and he leaped instinctively, swinging his sword with all his might for the decisive blow.

The moment the sword cut through, he regretted it, but it was too late to pull back.

The human-faced rose was split in two and gradually annihilated. A surge of energy flooded into Xu Yi's body, making him stronger, but his desire for slaughter also reached its peak, and he let out a bloodthirsty roar.

The desire for slaughter came like a wild brushfire, about to burn his rationale to ashes.

Suddenly, a cool sensation flooded his mind, like an unexpected rain shower that extinguished the fire.

Xu Yi's sanity began to return.

He searched for the source of the coolness, pausing in surprise; it was coming from the dark crystal within his soul.

For some unknown reason, the dark crystal seemed to be fusing with his soul.

This fusion was like lightning striking flammable earth. Although still lacking the catalyst of a Divine Body, the power generated was, if not Divine Power, at least Sub-Divine Power.

Xu Yi gazed at the weak purple-black light, his heart pounding with excitement.

Mere traces of Sub-Divine Power had quenched the desire for slaughter caused by the Black Void Gate.

It was hard to imagine how mighty one would be as a true Abnormal God?

Alesia looked at Xu Yi with surprise. She couldn't understand how he did it, but his desire for slaughter had dissipated significantly.

Her eyes flickered with light; she had never encountered such a special "Pyramid Head" before.

"Perhaps I can use his power to achieve my revenge!" A thought suddenly sprang into Alesia's mind.

The battle was still ongoing. The emergence of Sub-Divine Power greatly calmed Xu Yi's mind, but he still dared not indulge in more killing because the Sub-Divine Power was too rare.

After resolving two crises of Corruption, the Sub-Divine Power was depleted.

Xu Yi had no time to think further as another formidable enemy appeared—a giant heart covered with ghastly white limbs.

This was the most troublesome enemy he had encountered since entering this place.

The fight dragged on for a long time. Finally, the heart exploded in mid-air, and the viscous rain of blood and flesh fell like a storm, with Xu Yi standing in it, sword in hand.

Being a Pyramid Head, exhaustion was a foreign concept, but defeating the heart made him feel waves of weakness wash over him.

Energy once again filled his body, and the terrifying desire for slaughter nearly annihilated him. He instinctively wanted to integrate with the dark crystal to obtain new Sub-Divine Power.

But the next second, an unexpected problem occurred—the dark crystal could not continue to fuse.

Without fusing with the dark crystal, deprived of Subgod power, his only choice was to withstand it.

Under the relentless assault of the murderous urge, he thought of giving up many times, but in the end, he persevered.

Xu Yi's consciousness gradually returned, and he saw the dazzling wall of fire with gratitude, glancing at Alesia on his shoulder.

While he struggled against his desire for slaughter, he naturally couldn't face his enemies. Fortunately, Alesia was willing to lend a hand, temporarily holding off the attack from the Corrupted creatures.

He had survived another onslaught, but not a trace of joy arose in Xu Yi's heart.

Because he knew very well that this was his limit; next time, it might be too hard to endure.

Just as Xu Yi felt the grip of despair, the dull tolling of a bell sounded again, and the Corrupted creatures within the ruins stopped their advance, even those locked in the heat of battle.

Alesia on his shoulder took a deep breath, and the familiar door appeared once again in front of them. It seemed that only they could see that door.

The monsters in the ruins vanished suddenly, suggesting that each creature had its own door to leave this place.

"Is the battle over?"

Xu Yi stared dumbly at the door before him, feeling a sense of relief like one who has survived a great disaster.
