The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 173: Half a Life of War, in the Soul Society

"Good job, well done, you greedy bastard!"

Xu Shu looked at the cultists whose hearts had been taken out on the screen and couldn't help but clench his fists heavily.

In reality, he was ambushed and killed twice by this strange evil spirit, but in the legend, he managed to counterattack once with the help of the opponent.

It seems that Arthas is the Tibetan who he met?
If the Dizang is so strange and powerful, Xu Shu will have to consider whether he should still be stubborn and confront it.

Although, it feels that the real Jigodizang does not have such powerful strength as the current "Arthas", and since it is within the border line, its strength should be only first-level.

But who knows if this guy has the ability to evade detection by the Star Tower like the Chosen One?

Moreover, perhaps his real body is hiding outside the border, and the tail-bearing Ksitigarbha is his clone like the "Corpse Valley Body" to lure prey within the border?

It's not impossible.

Otherwise, try reporting it again?

However, if you are not the chosen one of God, you may not be able to call upon the archbishop, right?
Besides, if it's just the first level, and I lose to it in a 1V1 fight, wouldn't it make me, a legendary wrestler, look like a weakling?

Xu Shu began to seriously consider the feasibility of doing so.

As he was thinking this, as the legend continued, Xu Shu discovered that the situation was not quite what he had imagined.

He saw that the six-armed phantom that appeared in the middle of the altar formation was suddenly rolled up by a tentacle, and after being shattered into pieces, it turned into a very high-definition painting.

Then, a pair of terrifyingly large eyeballs lit up from the core of the countless sticky tentacles, and a cold voice rang out at the same time:
[“Human, do you know where the Dizang is?” The evil god you summoned, the Infinite King Arthas, asked you. ]

[“Eh?” This sudden question made you feel something was wrong. ]

[Obviously, the situation is somewhat out of your control. Your attempt was only half successful. The will of the evil god Arthas in front of you is not the same person as the Ksitigarbha you think he is!]

[“What the hell? This Arthas, isn’t he following Ksitigarbha? Not only that, but on the contrary, it looks like they have a grudge against each other? So after all this time, I used the prayer to call Ksitigarbha, but what I summoned was Ksitigarbha’s enemy? Then why did He help me kill His own believers? Ah, it really is true that whoever offers more sacrifices is His good believer?” For a moment, even you, who possesses amazing wisdom, was confused. ]

[“Human, why don’t you answer? Tell me, where is Jizo!” The grand voice is like a super loudspeaker, echoing continuously in this cave. ]

[Faced with this question from the superior, ordinary people would be so scared that they would kneel on the ground and shout, "My Lord, forgive me." However, you are extremely courageous. At this moment, you remain calm and answer Him calmly: "I accidentally heard about the news of the One-tailed Ksitigarbha. I am looking for him. I think it won't take long to succeed."]

【After he finished speaking, the eyes in the tentacles showed a strange expression, and He muttered to himself: "I see... No wonder I have never heard of your blessing... Ksitigarbha? Could it be that this is Ksitigarbha's new incarnation, trying to confuse me and escape from me? Humans are really interesting, they always come up with things that surprise me."】

what?
From what he said, the Ksitigarbha mentioned by Arthas is not exactly the same as the "Ksitigarbha with the tail" that he met?

What the hell is going on?

After getting more information, Xu Shu did not feel like his eyes were opened at all. Instead, he felt that there were more mysteries.

As the old saying goes, knowledge is a circle, and what is outside the circle is unknown;
The more you know, the larger your "circle of knowledge" will be, and the more unknown you will be exposed to.

Therefore, truly learned people always feel that they know too little. Only people with limited knowledge are blindly confident, thinking that there is almost nothing in the world that they don’t understand.

At this moment, Xu Shu really agreed with it.

The relationship between these two is a little too complicated!
[What is going on? You are asking yourself this question, but now is not the right time to ask. You can ask Him, but when you expose your ignorance, this Arthas will take your soul away.]

[And if you keep your sense of mystery, then Arthas, who is already quite interested in you, may be able to help you. ]

[Your choice is...]

[Obviously, you are not a stubborn person. You follow your heart. You start to pretend to be profound, but you also very cleverly grasp the balance: "Give me some time, I will definitely find the existence of the Ksitigarbha!"]

[Arthas's big eyes looked you up and down, and he finally smiled. He obviously had some plan, so he turned to express his goodwill to you: "Very good, human, I am very satisfied with the thirty-six sacrifices you just offered. In exchange, you will receive my blessing."]

[After He finished speaking, a gray mist enveloped you, and you felt a strange force surging in every cell in your body, as if something was about to be born from it.]

[But the next second, Arthas revealed a puzzled tone: "Strange, how come you, a human, don't have any signs of contamination... The plan should have already started... If there is no contamination, it will be difficult for me to deal with it... Forget it, I will give you a blessing from God, you are lucky."]

[After He finished speaking, another force filled with the breath of death surged into your body. This force filled with death, in an extremely strange way, ignited the fire of your life.]

[Instantly, you feel your body sublimating, and vaguely some indescribable changes have occurred. You feel that you are full of power, as if something is about to burst out, steaming.]

[The shadow of Arthas's eyes stares at you, and he says with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad! Human, continue to pursue your goal. If you encounter an enemy that you cannot face, I allow you to recite my name - I, the infinite king Arthas, will protect you with my own power. Don't let me down."]

[He looks as if he has already regarded you as a 'God-favored One'. After a while, the blood in the entire magic circle has dried up, the shadow of the tentacle monster gradually dissipated, and the entire cave fell silent.]

[You still dare not be careless, standing in front of the sea of ​​blood and corpses, looking around vigilantly. ]

[You and another survivor stared at each other in amazement until more than ten minutes later, when you heard the chirping of birds and cicadas outside, making this dead silent place completely alive. You finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this sacrificial ceremony was really over, and that the infinite king Arthas no longer focused his will here.]

[“…This is the evil god who talks the most I’ve ever seen! The second most talkative one is Izanami who has regained her power. She said three words to me!” After seeing that the magic circle has completely lost its vibration, you collapsed to the ground, shouting that you have survived a catastrophe. ]

[The lovely girl next to you who was saved by you was stunned. She hugged you and kept kissing your cheeks, expressing her kindness to you and thanking you for saving her life. She simply couldn't repay you enough. ]

[You looked at her charming and bright face, and her seductive figure that was faintly visible through her ragged clothes. You licked your lips, pinched her cute pink chin carefully and said, "Girl, according to the rules where we are, when we don't know how to repay someone, we usually have to pledge our love to them."]

[“Ah? Is that so?”]

【"certainly."】

[“Ah, this, is it right here?”]

[“What else? My heart has been deeply traumatized. Come and comfort me!” You smiled obscenely. You seized the opportunity to blackmail her. She was morally kidnapped by you and had no choice but to be violated by you. ]

[“But, but it’s very dirty here, and their bodies are still warm…” The already breathless girl pointed at the dead whores, criminals, and gamblers nearby. They were all sacrificed and then had their hearts ripped out before dying. As for those abominable cultists, they were naturally not included.]

[“Let them witness this celebration of survival. This way they can feel a sense of participation. Seeing me escape, I’m sure their spirits in heaven can rest in peace.” You don’t want to stop at all, and you keep talking nonsense. Who can rest in peace? ]

[Hearing you say this, the girl finally believed it. The girls here are all very open to love, and she is no exception. In this bloody crime scene, you and this cute girl who was kidnapped as a "virgin" had sex fiercely, and together you entered into a great harmony of life.]

[Afterwards you discovered that she was not a "pure girl" at all. She only looked pure and sweet on the outside, but in fact she knew more positions than you. You cried out that you couldn't stand it and cried out that you were deceived. But now the sweetness has fallen on your head. It seems that this sacrifice was doomed to fail.]

[Afterwards, you and the girl went to the police station to report the case. The other party sent someone to collect the body and notified your family at the same time.]

[You are already a college student, and you can no longer transfer schools like you did before when a murder happened, but you don’t want to transfer. ]

[“Mom, I’m going to kill all the cultists in this world!” You swore to Christina through gritted teeth.]

[“No, kid, that’s very dangerous. You know, every agent in the institute is always facing the threat of death. That’s a fear that humans can’t really face.” Christina tried to dissuade you.]

[However, you said that after this painful experience of losing my love, you hate these cults to the core, so you requested to enter the special department, and you are determined to fight against the cults! ]

[“This…” Christina hesitated. She had always wanted to keep you away from danger, but you were repeatedly involved in different cult sacrificial cases. Seeing how determined you were, this time, she finally changed her mind and agreed to your request.]

[She was originally a Level III agent. After years of unremitting efforts and continuous achievements, she has become a Level I agent with considerable authority. She still has a lot of say in the matter of recruiting new blood.]

[Wait, where did you say you lost your love? You don't mean a one-night stand? Your motives are not pure, you obviously don't just want to eliminate them.]

[After a month of probation, you successfully joined the special department of the authorities - the Abnormal Biology Research Institute.] [This is a very strange military department. You only then realized that the world is so chaotic, and there are so many evil cults and thugs doing evil everywhere. It is not accidental, but there are reasons for it - the pollution brought by the radiation of the light is far more than what people see on the surface.]

[“All agents in the country should understand one thing: we should contain anomalies instead of destroying them, because destruction will only bring greater disasters.” — Christina introduced it to you. ]

[Next, what is presented to you is the door to the basement of the research institute. Behind the door are many sources of anomalies, such as masks that will tempt people to wear them, masked people that you must keep staring at or you will be killed, canned herrings that only appear at night and will attack anyone who speaks... and so on.]

[Each of these abnormal people or objects has caused the deaths of many people. It is said that some of these strange births are caused by the activities of cult believers, which are artificial and intentional creations; and some are caused by radiation sickness. After those infected with radiation die, a "sealed object" may naturally appear around them. The weak ones cause less damage than an ant, while the strong ones have directly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.]

[You now know that there have always been strange cases of inexplicable murders in the world, and they have remained unknown because someone is carrying the burden forward.]

[But you are still just a rookie now, you need at least level III authority to view the level 3 seals on the first floor, otherwise there will be accidents due to low spiritual pressure.]

[“Reiatsu?” You asked your own question.]

[Christina said: "Reiatsu is the strength of the soul. One explanation is that the birth of the Sealed Object comes from the infected person's - 'Soul']

[“Therefore, the stronger the agents’ souls are, the more they can resist the influence of powerful seals.”]

[As she spoke, she pointed to an object next to you that looked like a scale: "This is called a spiritual pressure scale. It can measure the strength of your soul. For a rookie like you, the spiritual pressure is no more than 5. The spiritual pressure of a level 10 seal is about 30, which is enough to make you gradually fall into the abyss and eventually something terrible will happen. For a level Ⅰ agent like me, my spiritual pressure is at least ."]

[As she spoke, she stood on the spiritual pressure scale, and the value displayed was: thirty-eight! ]

[“How’s that? Mom is awesome, isn’t she?” Your adoptive mother Christina raised her eyebrows at you, with an expression that looked like she was begging for praise.]

[“So that’s how it is. Sealed objects are things with ‘spirits’. The spirits that are naturally born after the death of the infected, as well as the spirits summoned by the evil cult priests, are endangering the world…” You pondered, then took out a scepter and asked, “Mom, this is something left behind by the evil cult priest I met before. Could it also be a sealed object?”]

[Your mother smiled softly: "Child, if this was a sealed item, you would be dead by now! The cult activities you encountered were all relatively elementary, low-level organizations that did not involve the existence of spirits."]

[“Oh, really?” You think to yourself that there is indeed no spirit involved, because what they summoned is the evil god itself, a being that is more evil and more powerful than a spirit, so you insist: “Is it possible that it is?”]

[“Well, let me help you measure it.” Christina put the scepter you took out on it, and the next second, the pointer of the spiritual pressure scale directly exceeded its upper limit of 100.]

[“What the hell, what level of spiritual pressure is this?” Christina’s eyes widened.]

[After thinking of something, she asked you to stand on the spiritual pressure scale as well, and it also showed over 100. ]

[“Broken? It was fine just now.” Christina widened her eyes and prepared to stand on it again to check.]

[However, the next moment, screams suddenly came from the door of the shelter.]

[Then, the door of the first floor of the shelter exploded, followed by the door of the second floor, and then the door of the third floor, as well as the isolation glass doors of all the safe houses with sealed objects.]

[Countless guards inside died on the spot, in various horrific ways, the alarm sounded, and the entire underground shelter was in chaos.]

[The first thing that rushed out was a strange crystal ball. The moment you saw the crystal ball, your figures appeared inside the crystal ball.]

[“How is it possible? Why did the Level 1 Sealed Artifact come out?” You saw Christina exclaiming, coming to hug you and trying to protect you, but the incident happened suddenly, and she didn’t have time to make too many protective preparations, so she melted in front of you.]

[“What the hell?” You screamed, and then you lost all your senses, including vision, hearing, taste, and smell.]

[In the last moment before you lost consciousness, you heard a man crying, "Damn it, who is it! Who opened the door aa ...

[December 2096, 12, Florida, containment failure at the Raccoon City Research Institute.]

[Two first-level seals, sixteen second-level seals, and one hundred and thirty-two third-level seals have all escaped control and disappeared.]

[All researchers and agents of the Raccoon City Research Institute died in this battle without a single survivor.]

【including you.】

【you are dead. 】

what?
WTF?

Am I going to die now?
Xu Shu stared at the black screen in front of him, stunned, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Could it be that the scepter I brought caused the riot?

That doesn't make sense. If it was me who did it, why didn't they riot at the beginning? Why did they have to wait until I went to weigh myself before rioting?
Isn't this obviously illogical...it's definitely not because of me...

What a pity, this Christina was actually quite nice to me...

Xu Shu covered his face.

But now that things have come to this, there is no way to end it.

"Although my fate this time is only blue and green, I have triggered the keyword of defying the heavens, and I have faced the evil god, so I think the reward will not be too bad."

Xu Shu waited quietly, ready to feel dizzy after the legend ended.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still darkness in front of me and nothing happened.

"...No way?" Xu Shu shu was startled, thinking that maybe there was another accident.

However, at this moment, the dark scene in front of his eyes suddenly changed again, and a new scene appeared.

[After your body died, your spirit survived, your spiritual pressure exceeded 100, your independent "spirit"! ]

[At the same time, your keeper Aunt Christina also retained her spirit, which was integrated into the scepter and became a special level 0 sealed object - considering that the scepter's appearance is quite special and resembles a crape myrtle stick, let's call it the crape myrtle scepter.]

[You wandered the land with the Purple Myrtle Scepter. At this moment, the entire Raccoon City was in chaos. A large number of sealed objects escaped from the research institute and were hidden in various civilian areas of Raccoon City. They hid and began to kill people secretly.]

[And you, the "spirit" who holds the Purple Myrtle Scepter - Arthur, you wander the earth. On the one hand, you look for those damned sealed objects everywhere, devour their power to strengthen yourself, and take revenge and eliminate harm for the people; on the other hand, you look for some cultists and start your special journey of sacrifice. ]

[You offered sacrifices wherever you went. You knew that your special high spiritual pressure came from the Infinite King Arthas, so you began to tirelessly offer sacrifices to believers from various sects. Regardless of whether they believed in Arthas or not, you treated them all equally and offered sacrifices to them all.]

[Your power grows day by day, and the legend of "the terrifying mysterious scepter, the evil god's human representative" begins to spread throughout Florida, and people are in panic for a while. ]

[This matter has completely gone out of the control of the institute. They had no choice but to pass the news to a more secretive organization at the risk of being tried.]

[In the spring of 2097, you met a man with white eyes.]

[“Finally found you!” He froze you and brought you back to a strange underground circular hall. This place is divided into three layers from the inside to the outside, and the walls are tall and white. ]

[“Where is this place?” You can’t move, but you can tell that they don’t seem to have any ill will towards you. In fact, everyone is very happy to see you, and the burning heat in their eyes is almost overflowing.]

[It's just like a wolf stalking a sheep. The wolf is looking at the cute girl who has no defenses at all.]

[An old man with eyebrows longer than his knees, obviously of high moral character and with terrifyingly exaggerated muscles, comes out. He tells you, this is——]

【“Seireitei!”】
