Gospel of Blood

Unfeeling flames devoured the houses, while the cries of children and the screams of people sounded hopeless and helpless amidst the monsters’ cruel laughter.

The barely alive Lilith was tied to a scaffold in the square.

Her body was soaked in blood, covered in ghastly wounds. From her left chest to her left abdomen, a terrifying wound like a beast’s bite exposed her shattered ribs and internal organs.

Around Lilith, gruesome humanoid monsters were excitedly burning houses and slaughtering captured extraordinary warriors and resisting civilians.

This was Silver City, one of the four Free City-States, a beautiful and prosperous border city.

However, at this moment, this city of thirty thousand people had turned into a living hell.

Fierce flames burned throughout the city, and corpses lay everywhere beneath the blaze.

The surviving citizens were violently gathered in the central square.

They looked at the humanoid monsters surrounding them with terror, trembling and fearful.

A towering humanoid monster paced in front of them.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he sneered, then grabbed a trembling man holding an incomplete “Savior” divine symbol and praying softly, lifting him like a chick.

“Even now, you still pray to the ‘Savior’? Foolish and pathetic false believer, are you challenging the great God of Abomination and Deformity?”

The man became even more terrified looking at the monster’s hideous face.

But he still shook his head, gripping the incomplete divine symbol tightly, and stammered.

“Shameless monster, you… you will eventually face the Savior’s divine punishment!”

Hearing the man’s words, the monster’s eyes narrowed, becoming dangerous.

He snorted coldly and squeezed and crushed the man’s head.

Blood sprayed, causing the people to scream and shout in horror, but the monster, indifferent, tossed the headless body aside and sneered at the crowd.

“See that? That’s what happens to those who disrespect the Gods!”

With that, his gaze continued to roam the crowd, soon locking eyes with a young woman.

The woman, holding a child, quickly lowered her head in fear, but the monster’s face already showed interest.

He walked to the front of the crowd and roughly pulled the woman out. Amid the child’s cries of “Mom! Mom!” he lifted her up.

“Say it, will you convert to the great God of Abomination and Deformity and become my Lord’s follower!”

He commanded slowly.

The woman’s face turned pale, trembling.

She stammered, her voice weak and feeble.

“I… I am willing to become…”

Before she could finish, the monster crushed her head as well, tossing the body aside amid the child’s cries, then lazily yawned.

“Huh… too quiet, I couldn’t hear clearly.”

With that, he looked back at the crowd, who all lowered their heads in terror, not daring to meet his gaze.

Only the crying child, holding his mother’s body, looked at him with eyes full of hatred.

The monster narrowed his eyes.

He sneered and was about to move towards the child when a weak cough sounded behind him.

“Cough… cough… if… if you keep killing like this… you will never… get the Free City-States’ faith…”

The monster paused slightly.

He turned around, looking at Lilith on the scaffold with surprise.

He walked to Lilith, looking down at her, and chuckled.

“No wonder you’re the extraordinary one Lord Alador has taken an interest in. Even after such severe injuries, you can still speak.”

As he spoke, his expression turned sinister, and he let out a mocking laugh.

“But, I hate preaching the most. Since you care so much about these worthless people, just watch them die in front of you!”

With that, the monster sneered and reached for the child again, but just as he was about to touch the child, a dark green light suddenly descended from the sky.

The light struck the monster, whose body quickly melted into a pool of viscous blood.

A deep voice slowly sounded, as if echoing in everyone’s heart.

“Lilith was right. If you idiots keep killing, as a God, I would be very troubled.”

Hearing this voice, the surrounding monsters trembled and quickly knelt on one knee.

“L-Lord Alador!”

“Lord Alador…?”

Lilith struggled to lift her head, seeing a three-headed, six-armed giant, nearly five meters tall, walking towards her amidst the humanoid monsters’ kneeling.

He was surrounded by dark green divine light, exuding immense pressure and supreme majesty.

As he appeared, dark green mist spread around, quickly affecting the surviving citizens. Amid screams, their bodies deformed, growing terrifying tumors and limbs.

With just one glance, Lilith felt a sharp pain in her eyes, her vision blurred, and two streams of blood flowed from her eyes.

The God of Abomination and Deformity!

She recognized the giant’s identity.

Looking at Lilith, who groaned but did not faint from the “divine punishment” of gazing upon a God, Alador showed surprise.

He approached Lilith, concealing his divine light and laws, and looked at the dying girl with interest.

“You are the Devouring Witch Lilith. This aura… hehe, you indeed received the Origin’s blessing…”

With that, he looked down at Lilith, lifting her up.

“Your body is done for. I’ll give you a chance: submit to me, and I will grant you new life, and also grant these mortals new life.”

Lilith struggled to lift her head, looking at the God of Abomination and Deformity, who had concealed his divine light.

She sneered.

“Monster, do you think… I will believe… your nonsense?”

The God of Abomination and Deformity’s expression darkened.

He gave Lilith a deep look, then chuckled.

“Is that so? What a pity.”

He then looked into the distance, suddenly chuckling.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

“After all… She is already here, and your ‘task’ is complete.”

She…?

Lilith was stunned.

She struggled to lift her head, seeing a crimson light like a meteor quickly approaching from the sky.

Although far away, she clearly sensed the familiar aura. |

Teacher… It was Teacher!

Lilith’s heart trembled.

However, when she saw the God of Abomination and Deformity’s triumphant smile, she realized something…

No…

It’s a trap…

A trap for Teacher!

“Teacher… don’t…”

Lilith struggled to shout.

But before she could, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Then… everything spun.

She was thrown away by the God of Abomination and Deformity.

Like throwing out trash.

And in Alador’s hand, there was a still-beating heart.

Seeing the beating heart in the God of Abomination and Deformity’s hand, Lilith’s consciousness quickly blurred.

Ah…

Is it over just like that?

How incompetent…

In the end, she couldn’t protect everyone.

Teacher… will probably be very disappointed with herself.

Her vision gradually darkened, and Lilith sank into the darkness.

At the edge of consciousness, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace, faintly hearing a familiar voice.

However, she knew nothing more.
