The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Chapter Eighty-Three: A Feast of Blood and Flesh

As the missionary arrived at one side of the main hall, Ye Xiao met the orc lead singer who had come down from the stage.

No wonder Ye Xiao initially addressed the other party as "sir," because upon seeing him now, he felt that the other party's figure was indeed beyond his imagination.

The male orc missionary leading the way was a head taller than Ye Xiao, and his long robe had become a short cloak when draped over his back.

Even so, his robust physique looked like a chick next to the lead singer, the orc "lady," appearing a whole size smaller.

As for the face, Ye Xiao was too blind to see any difference between the other person's face and that of a male orc.

"Oh, is this human gentleman seeking to join the Protestant faith of my Lord's salvation?"

The female orc's voice was quite kind and gentle.

Ye Xiao looked at the kind eyes that were forced onto the other person's dark green face and nodded, "Yes."

Since they're here to gather information, joining the religion is naturally the simplest and most direct way.

A rustling sound came from below the stage as believers from various races held hands and began to pray.

Ye Xiao glanced over casually and saw a troll holding a ratman's thin paw, muttering to itself with its eyes closed in devout prayer. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was doing a pre-meal prayer.

"Oh, that's wonderful! Welcome, welcome! This makes our family even bigger."

After the orc lead singer finished speaking, he reached out his muscular hand, grabbed Ye Xiao's arm, and lifted him up.

Ye Xiao felt that his fairly strong arms looked as thin as matchsticks in the other person's palm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to introduce to you our big family that has now gained a new member!"

This sounds like she's given birth.

Ye Xiao thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

As the orc's lead singer's voice resounded throughout the venue, the eyes of all the believers below the stage turned to him, and they immediately burst into applause.

A believer walked up from below the stage and handed Ye Xiao a thin book of doctrine.

“Is this all right?”

Ye Xiao took the doctrine, looked around, and felt somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, the goddess's heart is the most expansive. You don't need to do anything special to prove your faith in the goddess. The moment you choose to accept Him, you have already become a believer under His protection."

"Close your eyes and listen to His words."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Xiao reluctantly followed the other party's instructions. He closed his eyes and held the doctrinal book, which appeared to be bound with ordinary straw paper, in both hands.

Ye Xiao was not particularly devout; he thought it was just a formality. However, in the darkness, a strange sound seemed to come to his ears.

With darkness filling his vision and the surrounding believers remaining silent, Ye Xiao gradually sensed a whisper echoing from some distant place, ethereal and hazy, like an ancient ghost lingering in his mind.

“Oh, this family member is quite gifted; he can already hear the call of our Lord in the void.”

The female orc's words lingered in my ears, clearly distinguishable from the distant whispers.

...Void?

Ye Xiao pondered the word, and the whisper seemed to grow ever closer, over and over again.

"……save……"

"...Save...me..."

“Save me!!!”

At the last moment, the previously indistinct whisper suddenly turned into a sharp roar that pierced Ye Xiao's eardrums. The high-pitched tone made him tremble all over and subconsciously open his eyes.

“Goddess…I have felt the grace of the Goddess.”

At the same time, along with the female orc's surprised voice, Ye Xiao was stunned to see a dark, winding line gradually spreading in the sunlight-drenched sky, as if reality was being torn apart, gradually opening a rift connecting to the unknown.

Countless whispers overlapped and echoed, transforming into waves that surged into Ye Xiao's ears.

He felt his eardrums filled with an unbearable, buzzing noise, and then a scarlet eyeball appeared from the crack.

"Ah, unbelievable! One day, we have the honor of witnessing the goddesses descend!"

The female orc's voice grew louder and louder, tinged with a hint of madness.

"The goddess has issued a divine decree, inviting us to join the feast of salvation! Oh, what an honor!"

"Fellow family members, quickly join me in praising, praising the great goddess!"

Praise be to my Lord! Praise be to the goddess of the sea!

The believers in the audience also shouted in unison.

Out of the corner of Ye Xiao's eye, he saw the orc and the other believers kneel down before the deep red eyes in the rift, raise their hands, and show a look of reverence and barely suppressed excitement.

A feast of redemption?

He covered his ears and stared at the scarlet eyes in the crack in mid-air.

Goddess? This thing?

Although Ye Xiao's steps were unsteady from the incessant, demonic whispers flooding his mind, it didn't stop him from scoffing at the big, pretentious eyes in front of him.

He didn't know how holy this thing appeared in the eyes of other believers, but to him it was nothing more than a demon revealing its true form.

However, the phantom of the scarlet eyes only lasted for a few breaths. Ye Xiao's gaze suddenly caught a glimpse of a bound female figure in the huge pupil before the deep red eyes disappeared back into the dense darkness.

Then, from the dark rift that seemed to connect to the void, countless slender tentacles writhed and surged out.

These tentacles were also semi-transparent phantoms, not real objects. Ye Xiao subconsciously dodged, but only saw the tentacles flying everywhere, passing through various objects and like tiny straws sticking into the heads of the believers below the stage.

"Oh, goddess!!! Goddess, oh my god!!!"

"Thank you for your blessing, for granting us supreme salvation!!!"

The female beast's enormous head was also penetrated by translucent tentacles, which inflated the head like a balloon, causing it to bulge and distort the features on her devout face.

“Ah…ah…how…joyful…”

The bloated head uttered incoherent words, and then, with a loud "bang," the female orc's head suddenly exploded into a pool of blood.

But her imposing body did not fall. On her headless neck, a dark tentacle suddenly grew out of the blood and gore, replacing the original head.

She swayed her limbs from side to side for a while, as if getting used to her new body, and then took a big step at an odd angle towards Ye Xiao in front of her.

Ye Xiao used one hand to support himself on the ground and flipped over to create distance, followed by a series of explosions.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Next, a series of explosions of flesh and blood, accompanied by a burst of red mist, filled the spacious hall.

Minotaur, ratmen, trolls... Regardless of their race, the heads on the shoulders of the believers below the stage instantly exploded into blood-red fireworks like cheap firecrackers, and were then replaced by tentacles covered with suckers that swayed from their necks, controlling their bodies.

Looking down from the stage, Ye Xiao saw the large tentacles writhing in unison, like a nauseating black wheat field.

Having completed this insane flesh-and-blood ritual, the crimson eyes in the rift faded into the air as phantoms, leaving only Ye Xiao to watch as hundreds of bodies occupied by writhing tentacles surged toward him like a tidal wave.

Does this mean they're just letting the believers and me explode?

That's underestimating me, isn't it?

Ye Xiao's face was ashen. Faced with this horrifying situation, he merely curled his lips and then drew the long sword tightly wrapped in a waterproof cloth from his back.

The white bandages on it fell away, revealing the silver-white sword blade engraved with cursive script. An invisible gale wrapped around it the moment the blade was drawn.

Ye Xiao's aura suddenly surged, and he swung his sword, unleashing a fierce crescent slash at the surging Tentacle Cult members.

In an instant, the bodies controlled by the tentacles fell like grass being cut down, countless limbs severing and spurting black blood, like countless plum blossoms blooming on the ancient stone-paved ground.

Chapter 84 Corpse Fetus Statue

The tentacled creatures, one after another, were chopped into pieces by the flying sword energy, piling up in front of the stage into a blood-soaked mountain of corpses.

However, a simple slash cannot completely extinguish the life force of these possessed cultists. After being cut in two by a sword, their bodies writhe on the ground, and tiny tentacles grow from the cut surfaces, interlocking with each other and merging back into their complete bodies.

To this end, Ye Xiao took out the staff on his back, and while slicing the enemy to pieces, he threw a fire on top to ensure that it was burned to ashes.

After this process, the corpse, which had turned to black ash under high temperature, completely lost its vitality and showed no signs of revival.

Sunlight streamed through the colorful stained-glass windows, falling on the ancient stone-paved hall, like a golden veil covering it, and the lush green vines growing from the cracks in the walls made it look like a dream.

The stone goddess statue enshrined on the platform looked down at this beautiful yet bloody scene. It was stained by the suddenly splashing liquid, which turned into two lines of black blood tears that gushed down from its dull eyes.

Within minutes, the corpses of these hundred or so fanatical cult members lay scattered in the raging flames, burning blackened from the platform to the ground below.

Ye Xiao was no longer affected by such scenes. He remained expressionless, glanced around to confirm that no living creatures were moving, and then turned to check the statue on the stone platform.

The Church of Redemption, which operates in seclusion in the tower, is undoubtedly the work of that evil god, but as the basis for distorting history, Ye Xiao always felt that its scale was still too small.

Even if all its followers were released in this way, the effect on correcting the distorted beliefs would probably be minimal.

After all, as long as that evil god exists, followers can always develop new ones. This is perhaps why the other party did not hesitate to corrupt these followers into corrupted individuals to attack him.

Ye Xiao sheathed his longsword and looked at the blood-stained statue.

This small stone goddess statue, which was enshrined, was similar to the other goddess statues seen before, and it also had tentacles, but apart from that, it seemed to have nothing special about it, and its origin was unknown.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, which made him suddenly realize that the evil god's corrupted followers might not have been primarily aimed at attacking him, but rather at silencing him so that he wouldn't be able to find out the origin of their faith from the followers.

That's a clever plan, but with so many believers in the Redemption Church, there must be some source that influences their spirits.

Ye Xiao reached out and took the small statue, which was about thirty centimeters tall, off the shrine where it was enshrined. Since it looked like it was made of stone, it was quite heavy in his hand.

But he quickly sensed something unusual from the smooth texture. He rubbed his thumb in a small crack on the face of the stone statue, and Ye Xiao's gaze gradually became serious.

Through that narrow slit, he seemed to see a lifeless eye hidden within, staring blankly at him.

This thing... it's a bit creepy.

As if realizing something, Ye Xiao lifted the stone statue and slammed it hard onto the ground.

"Snapped"

The stone shell attached to it shattered and scattered, revealing the object encased within—

A dead fetus.

Its face was black, its eyes were lifeless and half-open, and its short limbs were curled up on its thin, underdeveloped body.

This startled Ye Xiao. He realized that the fetus might not be a normal human or beast, as its skin was covered with layers of soft, granular material, resembling the scales of some kind of fish.

Mermaid baby?

Ye Xiao thought of a possibility. Although the thing looked really weird and creepy, he still squatted down and wrapped the dead baby's body with a piece of cloth.

As this is perhaps the most important clue at present, Ye Xiao naturally had to pack it up and take it with him. He has always been fearless and has no taboos.

But at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly heard a slight whooshing sound.

An ordinary person might not even hear such a subtle sound, but for Ye Xiao, the moment the sound rang out was enough for him to react.

His head snapped to the left, and the next second, a hooked sickle attached to a chain grazed his cheek and flew straight into the ground.

"Keng"

The metal hook and sickle sparked as they scraped against the stone brick floor.

Clearly, if Ye Xiao had been even slightly slower, half of his face would have been sliced ​​off by that sickle.

But that wasn't the end of it. With a flick of the chain at the end of the sickle, the sickle, which had been driven into the ground, leaped up like a snake, drawing a semi-circle as it slashed toward Ye Xiao's neck.

Ye Xiao picked up the dead infant, rolled backward to barely dodge the flying hook sickle, and braced himself with his other hand on the ground, quickly creating distance to the side.

"Not bad."

A faint voice sounded, and Ye Xiao looked up and saw a young man with black hair wearing a short robe looking down at him with a smile on his face through the window above the main hall.

This appearance was neither like a player from Earth or China, nor was it typical of the native humans here. Ye Xiao quickly realized, "A Dongyang person?"

"I'm more curious about where you're from."

This man from the Eastern Yang Continent was clearly not as kind as the koi carp Ye Xiao had met before. With a flick of his right wrist, the hook sickle on the ground flew back to the top of the hall and coiled around his arm like a lurking venomous snake waiting for its next attack.

"But none of that matters. No matter where you come from, this is where you will finally die."

"Is it absolutely necessary to get this done?"

Ye Xiao shrugged. "Won't we talk first?"
