The Whispering Verses Chapter 413: Golden Pearl

The further you go inward, the more you feel that the entire space is full of malice. The feeling of facing the gods became clearer and clearer, whispers, murmurs, and even completely incomprehensible sounds of pain appeared, as if the empty temple was actually filled with invisible figures.

He felt the damp wind blowing from the direction of the Holy Emblem like a sharp blade. Cracks appeared on Shade's face, but then golden light seeped out.

He felt the raging fire rising from his feet like a giant beast. The pain that touched the soul only appeared for a moment, and was then suppressed by a more powerful force.

He felt the thunder of destruction, like a giant hammer in the hand of a **** falling from above his head. The power resisted and impacted him, but this familiar high-dimensional power made Shade even more excited.

He felt the lingering water, like the hands of the most gentle lover wrapping around him. The pace of his steps became slow, but firm. [Desire] cannot stop him, and neither can these hallucinations.

The power behind the Holy Emblem is resisting, resisting this mortal who carries the divinity of the alien god, but this makes Shade even more excited.

Looking up at the Holy Emblem, the strange spiral pattern made Shade feel increasingly dizzy. Around the road leading to the high platform where the holy symbol and altar are located, the phantoms of ugly murlocs appear one by one.

They reached out and tried to catch Shade, but they were afraid of the divine radiance. The bones piled under the altar seemed to come alive. The undead screamed and rushed towards Shade from the front, but they could not stop Shade.

Just like what [Desire] said, when a certain desire is strong to a certain extent, all other emotions will be suppressed.

All the statues in the entire temple seemed to tremble at this moment. When Shade reached the first step under the high platform with difficulty, the tremendous pressure he endured even made the skin on his body turn a terrifying bright red. .

Stepping up the steps, the golden scars on his body suddenly became stronger. Shade's eyes, nose, mouth and ears were all bleeding, but the force that was attracting him in front of him made him have no intention of stopping.

Finally, he reached the high platform with difficulty, and the pressure made Shade stumble forward. Fortunately, he held on to the rough stone altar and did not fall down.

The base of the altar is composed of four kneeling murlocs. They stretch out their hands together to hold the huge stone basin above.

The bright red blood in the stone basin was all dripping from the surface of the holy symbol. Because the chief priest of the Scarlet Secret Cult is dead, no one knows what these weird liquids are now, but if the blood rich in blasphemous elements and huge spirits is bottled and sold, one bottle can at least...

"What am I thinking?"

Hold the edge of the altar with both hands to stand upright. The holy symbol is within reach. But [Desire] said that if you don’t want to be noticed after becoming a thief, then you must pollute the sea and return the thing before taking it away.

Shad knew the method of blasphemy. Mr. Edmund, who was guarding the old lighthouse, proposed a bold approach, which was to engrave the holy symbol of the hostile **** on the holy symbol of the [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral]. .

But Shade was worried that he would be struck to death by lightning immediately, so he planned to use another method that would not cause trouble.

"This is an important investment."

Take out a small bottle containing fish scales. Because he had to hold the altar with his hands to prevent it from falling, Shade could only crush the glass bottle with his bare hands. Regardless of the injury on his right hand, he threw the [Scale of the Drowning Murloc] towards the basin of blood.

Thump~

The altar was obviously resisting this thing, but the relic still penetrated the surface of the liquid and fell in, splashing blood onto Shade's sleeves.

After a strange moment of silence, the altar shook violently, and the shimmering blood reflected Shade's face red. Under his gaze, the pool of blood bubbled up like it was boiling. The bright red blood quickly became rotten and smelly. The disgusting smell finally made Sha De spit it out.

He vomited the food residue and stomach bleeding into the altar, which was probably even more blasphemous than before.

There was a loud rumble above the temple, as if thunder had hit the place directly. Along with the violent shaking of the ground, cracks appeared on the floor of the ancient temple.

The walls are peeling off, and dust and rocks are falling from above. Even the Holy Emblem stopped bleeding, the golden color gradually dimmed, and the gods seemed to have abandoned this place.

The pressure gradually eased, and Shade looked up at the white bone holy symbol coated with blood.

He took off his mask and made a strange sound from his mouth. This is an ancient mermaid mantra that has been passed down from the earliest times to the present. This language cannot be easily recorded, but when the fish people sealed [Desire] half a century ago, it was perfectly recorded by [Desire].

For a level 0 relic, this wonderful language may be much younger than it is.

As Shade chanted, the temple's collapse progressed faster. The small statues of fishmen and mermaids cracked one by one, and the boulders and beams on the ceiling fell to the waves below the ground along with the countless skeletons hidden in the sky.

Xia De did not run away, his mouth squirmed and he recited the incantation, his eyes fixed on the holy symbol.

The holy symbol trembled as the temple collapsed, and then it cracked.

The remains of the Holy Emblem fell together with the dust, and a huge crack appeared on the wall behind. A heavy heartbeat sound came from it, and a trace of extreme golden light illuminated the summer in front of the altar. De's face.

Except for the high platform at the feet, one-third of the entire temple floor has fallen into the waves. The shaking became more intense, and dust and red rain fell from the sky.

The cracks on the wall became wider and wider, until Shade saw the corrupt blood vessels and flesh in the mermaid's chest through the cracks, and saw the fist-sized golden pearl inlaid in the center of the black heart.

The golden light echoed the cracks on Shade's body. He widened his eyes and stretched his fingers upward as if unconsciously:

"This is really...my treasure..."

[Foreigners, please do not be fooled by desire. 】

Xia De couldn't even tell whether this sentence was her own thought or whether she was really reminding her.

Ashes mixed with rain of blood fell down. Behind it was the temple that was almost completely collapsed, and hundreds of small statues stuck diagonally on the floor, about to be submerged by the sea water. The golden light illuminated the stranger in front of the altar, illuminated his hands, and illuminated the strange cracks on his body.

As Shade stretched out his hand forward, the golden pearl embedded in the chest of the giant mermaid corpse automatically separated from the heart and flew out due to the call of the mantra.

A strange impulse made Shade reach out to grab it, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, Shade screamed in pain as if he had been bitten by a cat, and retracted his hand.

The golden pearl fell into the altar filled with boiling blood. Shade saw that his fingertips turned black, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Why...it's the evil god's divinity that is resisting me."

There was nothing unusual when he obtained the divinity of the [Innocent Creator] last time, because that drop of divinity was originally a gift given to Shade by the gods of the past across thousands of years, and that power was very friendly to him.

But this drop of divinity is the power of the evil **** [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral]. It will not obey Shade and let him touch it. In fact, if Shade hadn't been very adaptable to divinity, he would have died just after being touched.
