American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi recognized that clump of golden gel as a substance known as "Void Bug Gel," made from the blood of void bugs, yet void bugs had been extinct for hundreds of years; he never expected someone to still possess it.

Although he didn't recognize the pale skeleton, wrapped in void bug gel as it was, it must be extremely valuable.

But in the next second, the Crow Man's palm forcefully tightened, crushing the void bug gel and the pale bones inside to dust.

The remaining alchemical machinery had returned to the Crow Man's side; they showed no surprise at his actions, evidently having discussed this beforehand.

Xu Yi was on high alert, for the annihilation barrier created by the Crow Man's black droplets had left a deep impression on him.

The Crow Man opened his hand, allowing the ashes to scatter.

A gentle breeze blew, and the ashes floated down like a fine powder of rain, sprinkling around Notting Hill.

One second, two seconds... five seconds went by, and Xu Yi didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

There was neither a terrifying energy emanating from the powder nor a deadly toxin; it seemed to be just plain ash.

The four great alchemical machines gave Xu Yi a cold glance and then turned to leave.

Xu Yi wanted to follow them, but the conditions did not permit it.

They, the remnants of their forces, simply didn't have the means to detain the enemy.

The fact that Arturo and Hekaseth could come to their aid at all was a stroke of luck; to expect them to fight to the death with the Ring of Destruction would be asking too much.

"Thank you for coming!" Xu Yi said as he approached.

Arturo nodded solemnly, "The school was just attacked by a large horde of living dead, so we were delayed."

It really was the Ring of Destruction causing trouble, Xu Yi thought to himself.

A buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky, and the people conversing turned their heads in unison to look into the mist.

A massive "black cloud" was rapidly approaching, and Xu Yi's brows furrowed. Holy Flame gathered in his hands, and he swung his fist forcefully, dispelling the dense fog with a strong gust of wind.

His expression changed slightly as he discerned the true nature of the "black cloud," a dense swarm of flying monsters.

It wasn't just the "black cloud"; there was also a "black river" following behind. The crawling creatures didn't move as fast as the flying ones, so they fell behind.

Everything became clear, the white bone powder from the Ring of Destruction was used to "lure monsters"!

Where did so many monsters come from?

Xu Yi thought of the "Subgod" he had seen at Lighthouse Mountain, surrounded by a dense throng of unidentifiable creatures, which appeared similar to the attacking monsters now before his eyes.

Could that pale skeleton have come from the "Subgod"? Xu Yi couldn't help but wonder.

"I'll take my leave first!" Arturo's face was grave; the monsters' path happened to cross Cohen Cathedral, so he had to go help.

Hekaseth and Xu Yi nodded to each other and also left. Xu Yi's impression of Hekaseth had improved, considering it already quite commendable that she had even come once.

"I'm going back to the institute," said Yukeni before departing.

Yukeni might seem cold, but she was actually a very responsible person. Even though her students had only been introduced to the basics less than a day before, she was still worried about their well-being.

A dark shadow plummeted down, and Ailan drew her sword and sliced. The shadow was cut in two, and its parts still writhed on the ground.

It looked like a hybrid of a fly and a scorpion. As Xu Yi crouched in front of it, it suddenly lashed out with its scorpion-like tail.

Xu Yi didn't dodge, letting the tail strike his arm, producing a "ting" sound. He felt a slight prickling pain.

The "fly-scorpion" didn't have a strong attack, but the toxin carried on its stinger was troublesome; even he would be affected if subjected to the toxin for an extended period.

Moreover, within the "black cloud," this wasn't the only type of monster. From what he could see, there was also a kind of "Wing-Fingered Eagle," sporting the fleshy wings of a bat, the body of an eagle, and a head of sharp bony protrusions.

Xu Yi actually didn't quite understand why the Ring of Destruction would sprinkle Bone Powder on Notting Hill.

He didn't necessarily have to stand guard at Notting Hill, and if push came to shove, he could just pack up his family and leave first since he owned the Eight Monster House.

No, that's not right! Xu Yi realized he had fallen into a thinking trap; these monsters weren't necessarily drawn here because of him.

A map of Boston sprang to mind, and if he connected Lighthouse Mountain with Notting Hill, he would discover that this line precisely bisected half of Boston.

It wasn't simply a matter of distance!

Xu Yi recalled the buildings that this line passed through, including significant churches and Boston's government assembly hall.

What was fatal was that there were a series of incredibly important Scientific Research bases, including the Doomsday Blade project.

Regarding how secretive the Doomsday Blade's Scientific Research base was and how the Ring of Destruction knew of it, don't forget about Robert, that double-dealer.

Even the Ring of Destruction's choice to set the battlefield in Boston might have something to do with Robert's contributions.

The golden "Small Sun" suddenly rose from within the fog, and terrfying ripples spread in all directions—it was the "Doomsday Arc".

Initially, when facing the Evil Deity, the higher-ups of Boston suffered the drawback of "difficulty to use within the city", so the research team used Crystal Stone to modify the "Doomsday Arc".

Although its power was reduced, it became more restrained, and most importantly, the range of radiation was significantly suppressed, so as long as one wasn't directly affected, there was generally no harm.

"You're really playing a clever game!" Xu Yi exclaimed in admiration.

He had probably figured out the Ring of Destruction's plan. The reason they blocked him at Notting Hill was just coincidental.

Even if he didn't live at Notting Hill, they would have sprinkled Bone Powder there regardless—it was part of their plan all along.

The Ring of Destruction's target was the "Subgod" on Lighthouse Mountain.

The "Subgod" itself was terrifying enough, and if you added the monster army surrounding it, it was even more formidable.

If Xu Yi wanted to deal with the Subgod, he would also plan to take out the monster army first.

When the Ring of Destruction summoned the world of mist in Boston, it wasn't just for him; they wanted to use the power of Boston to annihilate that monster army.

Whether it was the Doomsday Arc, the students and instructors from the Isotope Institute, or even Xu Yi himself, all were pawns on the Ring of Destruction's chessboard.

More and more "Small Suns" rose within the fog, signifying that the Doomsday Blade Scientific Research team had obviously already engaged the monster army.

Xu Yi felt a sense of helplessness; even though he saw through the Ring of Destruction's plan, he was unable to stop it. It was an overt scheme, and Boston's authorities couldn't simply ignore these monsters.

"Perhaps it's not entirely a bad thing!"

Xu Yi thought of the Subgod on Lighthouse Mountain, and the spirit of the True God beneath it.

With his own power, he wasn't capable of dealing with the Subgod. Maybe he could take advantage of the Ring of Destruction's effort and try to scavenge and absorb the Origin of "Sloth".

He had to venture deep into Lighthouse Mountain, find the spirit of the True God, and also avoid the Subgod's gaze.

The Ring of Destruction's confrontation with the Subgod would be the perfect opportunity!

"It looks like I need to prepare well!" Xu Yi's mind was racing; the opportunity was rare, and he had to make thorough preparations.

"Let's retreat first!" Xu Yi prepared to leave, as Notting Hill being the "final destination" would soon attract a large number of monsters converging there; there was no need to face these monsters head-on.

The Ghost Samurai suddenly rushed to Xu Yi's side and grabbed hold of the remnants of the "Scorpion Fly" from the ground.

Xu Yi looked at the Ghost Samurai with curiosity, wondering if Xu Changrong intended to pick up these remnants to cook with?

This wasn't an unprecedented occurrence; Xu Changrong often brought all sorts of bizarre things back to the Eight Monster House.

But then he froze in surprise, as the remnants withered rapidly in the hands of the Ghost Samurai, with Pale Gold Energy flowing into the Ghost Samurai's body.
