American Exorcism Male God

The Pyramid Head's heavy body fell to the ground, the machete clattering to the side. Xu Yi felt himself rapidly withering as behind him, the Otherkind was siphoning off his blood and strength.

Alesha glanced at the hopeless Xu Yi, preparing to leave.

The moment she turned around, the Otherkind that was clinging onto Xu Yi's back suddenly lifted its head, staring in the direction where Alesha stood.

It seemed to be dealing with Xu Yi, but its attention was always on Alesha.

As the owner of the Divine Kingdom, it certainly knew which was the main course and which was the dessert.

Suddenly, its brow split open, spewing out a mass of black shadow.

The shadow moved so fast no afterimage was visible, as if it had teleported through space.

The shadow appeared in front of Alesha in an instant, a shrinking version of the Otherkind.

It spread its slender limbs, embracing Alesha's head. The tips of its limbs also had sharp barbs that firmly embedded into Alesha's skull.

The Otherkind repeated its old trick, swinging its long tail to pierce the back of Alesha's head.

Alesha's head throbbed with pain, her body erupting in towering flames to resist the toxin's invasion.

Her body was paralyzed and she could not move.

Alesha's eyes were filled with panic because in this battlefield, there were not only the two of them. Powerful enemies were everywhere, and falling from the sky like her, she was simply a living target.

The battlefield of flesh and ruins was just that cruel. One second you might have the upper hand, the next you might be killed.

Even someone like Alesha, an owner of a Divine Kingdom, might fall here.

Xu Yi lay on the ground, unable to move. His consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and he knew very clearly that if he didn't act soon, he would die here.

The incredibly precious dark crystal, once lost, would have an infinitely small chance of being recovered.

The Otherkind on his back was now focused on Alesha, providing him with the perfect chance to act.

A wisp of Sub-Divine Power burned silently within his body. The powerful force dispelled the toxin, and Xu Yi regained his ability to move.

He grabbed the Otherkind's neck with a reverse grip before it could react, and yanked out the long tail that had pierced into his body.

Black blood gushed out, pieces of his heart clinging to the barbed tail.

Xu Yi stood up and flung the Otherkind away because he was clear that with his current power, he couldn't overcome his opponent.

He had no thoughts of pursuing his advantage. Instead, he turned around and sprinted towards Alesha.

His thinking was clear: relying solely on his own power, it was impossible to kill the Otherkind, let alone escape alive from this place.

At this moment, he and Alesha were bound by fate. If Alesha died, he was done for.

Xu Yi leaped into the air, kicking away a corrupted creature that was attempting to sneak attack Alesha.

It was a monkey-like creature that appeared frail and not very threatening. Yet any monster that had survived until now was not to be underestimated.

The reason Xu Yi could kick it away was due to the Sub-Divine Power still lingering in his body.

Burning the last remains of the Sub-Divine Power within him, his hand burst forth with a purplish-black glow like raging flames.

Xu Yi grasped the Otherkind on top of Alesha's head and exerted his strength. The creature was crushed, its flesh and bones incinerated by the purplish-black light.

Xu Yi then took hold of Alesha's shoulders, and while the last bit of Sub-Divine Power hadn't run out, he dashed toward the edge of the area.

Seeing its ready prey about to escape, the Otherkind was completely infuriated. It pounced towards Xu Yi, emitting a piercing scream.

That scream was like some sort of command; Xu Yi and Alesha, in their frantic escape, were suddenly rooted to the spot.

The Otherkind's body suddenly split open, its bones fracturing inch by inch.

The fractured bones didn't fall but grew rapidly, in the blink of an eye forming a creature with a tiny head and an enormously large chest.

The creature leaned down, enclosing them. Xu Yi looked up, surrounded by layers of bones.

He tried to rush through a gap in the bones, but a thick black liquid began to ooze from them.

They found themselves as if in a sea of black, with the waters about to engulf them at any moment.

Black and red flames spread out, forming a fiery barrier that isolated the black water, protecting Xu Yi and Alesha. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Alesha; saving her had indeed been useful.

But the next second, Xu Yi's heart lurched.

The fiery barrier was collapsing!

Xu Yi roared at Alesha, not that he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't.

After he became Pyramid Head, he had lost the ability to speak.

The flame barrier was collapsing further, Alessa's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly, as she was seemingly about to give out.

Could it be? As another owner of the Divine Kingdom, why is the gap so great?

Xu Yi secretly grumbled to himself.

But he knew he couldn't blame Alessa, after all, her strength had been halved from the beginning, and she was unwilling to consume corrupted energy for growth.

If she doesn't fall, who does?

"Think of something!"

Xu Yi suddenly heard Alessa's voice, yet the Alessa before him hadn't moved her lips at all.

Xu Yi was startled for a moment, then realized, this was soul communication—he and Alessa were connected by their thoughts.

That meant he could now communicate with Alessa.

Xu Yi's mindset was a bit shaken; he had saved Alessa in the hopes that she would unleash a cosmic burst and kill the Otherkind.

But now she was asking him for help?

What could he do? He was merely a creation of hers!

The flame barrier suddenly cracked open, and viscous black water surged in, quickly flooding over Xu Yi's shins.

Xu Yi felt despair; it seemed he was doomed to be unable to send out the dark crystal.

"If only we were in Silent Hill!" Xu Yi thought.

In Silent Hill, he could have Alessa grant him more world permissions, allowing him to harness the World Power and fuse with the dark crystal.

If he had enough Sub-Divine Power, perhaps he could turn the tide of battle.

He glanced at Alessa; the black water had already reached her neck, soon to submerge her head.

No! That's not right!

A lightbulb went off in Xu Yi's head, as he realized there was a flaw in his thinking.

He didn't necessarily need to return to Silent Hill to borrow World Power.

Alessa, as the creator of Silent Hill, embodied a rich World Power within her.

Which meant, all he needed to do was to merge with Alessa, to borrow the World Power from her.

"Do you want to survive?"

Hearing Xu Yi's voice of the soul brought a glimmer of hope back into the desperate Alessa's eyes.

She turned her head to look at Xu Yi, waiting for his next words.

"Lend me your power! Fuse with me!"

Xu Yi conveyed his plan for survival through the voice of the soul.

Xu Yi had thought Alessa would hesitate and struggle for a long time, but she agreed after only a brief moment of hesitation.

Xu Yi was unaware that all the monsters Alessa created were based on her own desires.

She longed for revenge.

So, those who slandered and maligned her were locked away in the underground prison.

The janitor Colin, who had once harmed her, was trapped within a restroom stall, enduring endless torment.

At the same time, she also yearned for protection.

Having been fatherless since childhood, she felt vulnerable because she didn't have a father.

Thus, based on this yearning, Alessa created Pyramid Head.

Pyramid Head was tall and full of strength—a representation of the father Alessa imagined should possess those qualities.

Since Alessa had never seen her father and was unclear about his appearance, Pyramid Head wore a metallic pyramid, concealing his face.

Alessa was so decisive because she innately trusted Pyramid Head.

The actions Xu Yi had taken to consistently improve favorability played a certain role too.

Of course, the most important reason was that Alessa had no other choice.

She couldn't die yet; she hadn't completed her revenge!
