Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 176: The Myth Reappears
Of course it's bullshit.

How could Dracula have such ability?

The person who has this ability is Wen Lie.

The Corrupted Bracelet, one of the thirteen holy artifacts of the vampires, originally had the ability to spread plague. However, after it was transformed into a holy artifact of the demon hunter, it was no longer that simple.

The Holy Bracelet can also be called the Disaster Bracelet, and the power it possesses is natural disaster.

The plague of blood, the plague of frogs, the plague of lice, the plague of flies, the plague of pestilence, the plague of measles, the plague of hail, the plague of locusts, the plague of darkness, and the plague of the firstborn are the embodiment of the ten major plagues that God inflicted on Egypt.

In addition to the ten disasters it possesses, it can also absorb the power of natural disasters and fix it into new disasters. However, it requires a long period of absorption at the scene of the disaster, which is very troublesome.

Wen Lie used the holy bracelet to bring down a bloody flood on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, targeting the country and turning the four main rivers into four blood rivers.

The duration was four days. Since it was the first disaster, it only consumed 8000 experience points and burned a lot of combat memories that were not important... but not unimportant either.

However, this time things really got a bit out of hand.

Using precious memories for purposes other than combat, affecting the lives and even the lives of 50 million people... who cares!

Anyway, no one will stop me, which means everyone tacitly approves my activities.

On the other side, the Grim Reaper who was in charge of monitoring Wen Lie showed a confused expression.

What the hell? Divine punishment? Is there such a thing?
Death reached out and touched the blood in the river.

It was genuine blood, but it did not contain any soul or dark aura, but instead one could feel the divine power.

God is as powerful as hell!

Death was a little uneasy.

"What's going on?"

He couldn't understand what was going on and why God's divine power appeared in the world?

In the God of Death's speculation, God should be the same as Chaos, a source of energy formed by the accumulation of human emotions. Chaos chose Dracula as its spokesperson, and God chose the Belmont clan as its spokesperson.

How could such a thing happen that directly interferes with the human world?
Death secretly speculated: "Could it be true as the descendants of the Belmont family said, because Dracula's resurrection took too long, chaos and order lost their balance, thus triggering the natural phenomenon of blood and water."

However, this is actually a good thing for these dark forces. When humans suffer from disasters, negative emotions are most likely to arise, and the power of darkness will also increase.

The Grim Reaper stared at Wen Lie.

After this natural disaster, the descendants of the Belmont family will surely be eager to destroy Castlevania, so we must be on guard against them.

However, Wen Lie showed no intention of turning back. He walked forward along the crimson river, followed by Jonathan. Looking at his surroundings, he couldn't help but ask Wen Lie, "Master, what should we do? How can we help the people here?"

The two passed through Alba County in Transylvania. Because the river water turned into blood, the impact on the citizens was not small.

An atmosphere of panic enveloped the city. Government functions had ceased, factories and businesses were on large-scale strikes, and order disappeared from the city. Flames could be seen rising in the streets, and cries and wails could be heard. There were even gathered protesters who stormed official residences, seemingly intending to drag officials out and burn them to death.

Wen Lie sighed and said, "As long as Dracula survives, the bloody flood will not disappear. Even after the bloody flood disappears, plagues of frogs, lice, flies...will appear one after another."

Jonathan said, "Even so, we can't just leave the people alone. Otherwise, where is God's mercy?"

Wen Lie pondered for a moment before saying to Jonathan, "In that case, I will pray to God for the authority to temporarily withdraw divine punishment."

Jonathan opened his eyes wide and asked in shock: "...Is it okay?"

To take back the punishment from God is the authority that only Moses has!
Wen Lie said calmly, "As long as you pray to God sincerely, nothing is impossible."

Jonathan was speechless.

If it were really that simple, how could the Vatican be annexed by Italy?
Wen Lie walked forward, his right foot stepping on the river surface. Golden ripples spread out from under his feet. The rippling river was like a huge water bed, carrying Wen Lie's body.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies show his handiwork. Day after day utters speech, and night after night proclaims knowledge. There is no speech or language, neither is there a voice heard..."

Wen Lie walked to the middle of the river and followed the direction of the water flow. The robe draped over his body emitted a white light and the sound of chanting like an instrument rang out.

As the chanting continued, golden ripples spread from the middle of the river to both sides of the river. The river covered by the ripples changed from blood red back to transparent colorless.

Jonathan hurriedly chased after him and jumped into the river, but the accumulated ripple energy was insufficient and his feet sank into the water, making it very difficult for him to walk.

"what is that?"

"Someone's walking on the river!"

"A hallucination?"

……

Many citizens gathered on both sides of the river. Some of them were praying to God, hoping that the river water would return to its original state as soon as possible. Some were salvaging blood from the river and testing the composition of the blood through instruments. Some were just waiting for the river to return to normal.

Because the night enveloped the earth, no one noticed Wen Lie and Jonathan until they reached the river surface. It was not until the ripples spread and the blood gradually recovered that people gradually discovered the center of the ripples.

"I bought it!"

People looked at Wen Lie walking on the river in shock. A citizen also tried to walk towards the river, but sank into the water without any resistance. The people next to him quickly rescued the person who fell into the water.

"Ahem! Ahem! A miracle! This is a miracle!"

The man who fell into the water lay on the ground and spat out the river water he had drunk. He looked up at Wen Lie who was walking in the middle of the river with a fanatical expression on his face.

"Walking on water! This is the miracle of my Lord Jesus!"

"At four o'clock in the morning, Jesus walked on the sea and came to his disciples. It was just like the miracle recorded in the Bible!"

The scene presented to the citizens reminded them of a scene recorded in the Bible that was also about the bloody flood. Unlike the divine punishment inflicted by the prophet using the power of God, this was a miracle performed by Jesus Christ!

Someone scooped up some water from the river, looked at the clear water, and shouted in surprise, "Look! The water is back to normal!"

The people nearby looked toward the river and saw that a large section of the river had returned to clear water. One man lay on the ground, took a sip of the river water, and exclaimed in delight, "It's really back to normal! The water tastes the same as before!"

Citizens who were farther away crowded over and saw the clear river surface. They looked back at the river surface upstream and said in surprise: "The river water has returned to normal. It's where that person walked. The water behind is still the color of blood!"

People raised torches and walked upstream, and were shocked to discover this scene that violated the laws of nature.

The scarlet blood and the clear river water were clearly separated. It was clearly an entire river that was not separated, but it was divided into two parts.

"No! There are three parts! The back! The front! None of them have recovered. Only the place where that person walked has returned to normal!" The man who fell into the water ran over from the front of the river and shouted out his discovery.

The Blood River has not fully recovered. The water in the upper reaches is still a fishy blood color, and the water in the lower reaches is the same. Only the area in the middle is normal. The river water flows normally, but this phenomenon has no impact.

The man who fell into the water fell to his knees with a plop. He faced Wen Lie, raised his hands, and shouted with a crazy look on his face, "A miracle! This is definitely a miracle! That man! He is Jesus Christ!"

"Oh Lord! Merciful Lord! Omniscient and Almighty Lord!"

"I'm so happy! How can there be such glory!"

"This is the Lord's test! The Lord's grace! Lord! I want to follow you!"

A crazy mood spread on both sides of the river. People looked at Wen Lie's back with fiery eyes, and shouted enthusiastically like an explosion.

Everyone was chasing Wen Lie's back and running along the river. The man who fell into the water jumped into the river again and swam towards Wen Lie, leading hundreds of fanatical believers.

However, Wen Lie, who was walking on the river, had no intention of waiting for these believers.

Four days is not a long time. He has to travel along the Danube, Rhine, Elbe, and Moldova rivers within three days, and finally go to Vienna.

Wen Lie sped up, but of course, he didn't run on the river, as that would be too ungraceful.

He walked forward slowly, golden ripples rippling on the water surface. Controlled by the energy of the ripples, the water under the river surface surged, like an invisible cruise ship, carrying Wen Lie's body forward quickly.

People swimming in the river and running along the river couldn't even see Wen Lie's back, so Jonathan also had to run fast so as not to fall too far behind.

In the early morning of the next day, Wen Lie had already reached Arad County. He was tireless and still full of energy after walking such a long distance, but Jonathan could not hold on any longer.

Jonathan's legs sank into the river, his breathing rhythm became chaotic, and the more he ran, the deeper he sank.

"Master! Wait a minute! Wait for me! I can't hold on any longer!"

Hearing Jonathan's shout, Wen Lie also stopped.

The opportunity has almost arrived.

Wen Lie turned and walked towards Jonathan, grabbed his shoulders, and walked towards the river.

On the banks of the Mures River, thousands of citizens were already waiting there. Some of them were Alba citizens who arrived by car, and some were local residents.

No matter who they were, they could not remain calm when facing Wen Lie walking down the river. They showed excited expressions. The closer Wen Lie was, the more excited they became. Some people even fainted from being too excited.

Because this is simply a reappearance of the myth.

"At the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to his disciples, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, 'It's a ghost!' And they cried out in fear."

Someone began to recite scriptures in a low voice.

"Jesus immediately said to them, 'Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.' Peter said to him, 'Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water.' Jesus said to him, 'Come.'"

The people around him also read out the record of this scene in the Bible.

"So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to come to Jesus. But seeing the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately, Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, saying, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?'"

Another person recited scriptures with a look of contempt.

As a disciple of Christ, he would not doubt the divine power of Christ.

The people along the river chanted the Bible in unison to welcome their faith, and looked at the man walking on the water excitedly. The bodies of men, women, young and old were trembling with excitement.

When Wen Lie walked to the ground, a man pounced on him like a mad dog, and his momentum was really scary.

"Lord! Son of God, please have mercy on me and forgive my sins. My name is Buwei, and I fell into the water because I doubted your truth."

However, as soon as this person rushed over, he knelt in front of Wen Lie and kissed Wen Lie's shoes devoutly.

When the people around saw Buwei's actions, they immediately became jealous and rushed towards Wenlie.

“No noise!”

An inorganic voice sounded, cold yet full of majesty. People seemed to be shocked in their hearts and could not help but stand there in a daze for a few seconds before slowly recovering.

"Cuckoo!"

At this moment, Jonathan's stomach growled.

A loud sound like thunder echoed, Jonathan's face turned red, he subconsciously covered his stomach, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.

He had been running all night and yesterday's food had long been digested. Now he was really hungry.

"Gu——!"

The sound of stomach growling sounded again, however, this time it did not come from Jonathan's stomach, but from the believers in front.

Although they did not exercise as much as Jonathan, these people had been active all night and had not eaten at least two meals. It was just that they were so excited that their bodies forgot about hunger.

It was not until they heard the rumbling sound from Jonathan's abdomen that these people's bodies reacted. The feeling of hunger and thirst instantly spread throughout their bodies, especially the locals. Because they had no habit of conserving water, many of them had not drunk water for a whole day.

Wen Lie stood in front. They were unwilling to rush to the river to drink water at this time, so they could only lick their lips and try their best to make their mouths moist.

Wen Lie knew what to do at this time, and he walked on the river all night just in preparation for what he was about to do, making Jonathan tired and hungry all night.

What can I say, Jonathan did a great job and was hungry just in time.

Wen Lie took out a tablecloth and spread it on the ground.

"Come on, all of you come and eat."

Wen Lie said so.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little lost as they looked at the empty tablecloth.

However, the next moment, they suddenly thought of the story recorded in the Bible.

Five loaves and two fish!
