Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 748

[748. Sacrifice, redemption and betrayal]

Bonfires rose up on the altar one after another, and the bonfires in the magic circle surrounded the priests. The huge statue of the Holy Empress stood on the top of the altar temple, as if watching all life under its feet.

The chanting of the sacrificial words gradually became louder and louder, and the sound was full of monotonous rhythm, but it had an inexplicable grandeur.

Everyone present felt that in the praise, their souls rose together with the rhythm, gathering into a huge force that was transmitted to everyone.

Dutanity untied her gorgeous burqa and threw away the gauze and decorations on her body.

Step out with your bare feet and stand naked in the middle of the altar.

In the firelight, the perfect curves are exposed.

Like a newborn baby, the light brown skin reflected the light of the fire and was shiny.

She half-knelt on the ground, opened her mouth, pulled both ends of the string with both hands, and slowly passed a rope that was slightly thinner than her little finger and covered with thorns through the cross-shaped tongue hole.

Each thorn was like a knife, cutting deeply into the tender flesh of her tongue again and again.

Instead of using the other softest parts of her body, Dutanity chose her tongue.

The blood sacrifice has begun.

She felt that in this way, she could connect herself with the sacred realm and receive the will of the “God Lord” more clearly and quickly.

The ultimate form of blood sacrifice is the sacrifice of life.

Over the years, this ritual has been respected by many royal families in the Mu continent.

The significance of sacrifice is to renew divine energy and promote the continuation of life.

Now, it has been turned into a means by the Holy Empress to obtain power from the gods.

Blood and saliva mixed together, dripping from her lips, glistening in the sunset.

“Oh…”

She opened her eyes slightly, her face was forbearing because of the pain, and she gained a distorted silence, which was strangely beautiful, and that kind of power seemed to be deeply rooted in her bones.

“Tick tock…tick tock…”

Dutanity put her sacrificial blood into a special gold bowl. The gold plating on the surface of this golden bowl is just for decoration. The material itself is an unknown refined ore, which is said to be obtained from the ruins. Come.

At this time, the dark red blood flowed, gradually turning into purple-red, and was quickly diluted by the liquid in the bowl.

The liquid is extracted from the fruits of dozens of highly toxic plants. It can increase blood viscosity and react with the golden bowl, which has incredible magical effects.

Soon, the mixed liquid of blood and poisonous juice began to boil and bubble. At this moment, it seeped into the thin engraved lines from the bottom. The engraved lines formed a ditch and flowed to the “container” prepared in advance – the magic circle.

If you look down from a bird’s eye view, with the Empress as the center of the circle, an extremely complex pattern with a diameter of about three meters is formed around it, like the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars, and a star map gradually appears.

The chanting continues, and blood flows on the star map.

At this time, another voice came from Dutanity’s mind.

The cold female voice stirred the bleeding body, with a bit of excitement and longing: “Yes… wonderful! I feel the burning… energy… light… more dazzling than the sun…”

“But it’s not enough… Ignite other souls…those priests must contribute their bloodline…to awaken souls…”

“And I…will…give you the bloodline of rebirth…”

“In order…to…forge a stronger…soul…”

“Well… ——Ouch!”

Dutanity felt the pain.

The pain was spreading from the tip of her tongue and gradually getting bigger, which made her who had been tolerant suddenly tremble in her heart.

“Why! Why is this happening…?”

You know, even if the enemy’s sword hits her, it won’t hurt so much.

With the protection of the Holy Body, she had not felt this kind of pain for a long time!

Of course, it will feel scary when it suddenly appears at this moment.

She felt that her divine power was disappearing, as if something was being peeled away from her body bit by bit, and one could imagine the panic in her heart.

“Your Majesty, it’s time for the ultimate sacrifice.” Gudos looked cold as he stood behind him and reminded him.

Dutanity threw away the string, held the crown symbolizing the Kunting royal family in both hands, put it on her head without hesitation, and touched the spar with her bloody fingers.

“Buzz!”

A green light suddenly appeared!

The psychic prism is truly magical. The hunger for blood bursts out, and it emits a reverse halo when it comes into contact with just a trace of blood.

A stream of blood mist spurted out from the magic circle and shot straight into the sky.

at this time.

“Oh ho ho… the blood is rushing… the time has come… you guys, dedicate your life to my glory!” A voice sounded in the dark.

This voice was not the female voice in the empress’ mind before, but came from behind her.

The Kara Empire has had a creation myth circulated since ancient times –

human blood originally comes from the blood of gods, and human life comes from the sacrifice of gods.

Therefore, to maintain order and balance in the universe, man must return life energy to God through sacred rituals.

Those who perform blood sacrifices highlight their noble social and ideological status through self-sacrifice.

Only a noble soul can sense the power of God!

However, these words did not come from the mouth of Dutanity, but from the mouth of the person behind me!

“Isn’t it the Lord of God?” Dutanity’s heart seemed to be tugged hard by something.

“What did you say?”

the empress said vaguely. The excessive pain made her resist with all her strength and consume the little energy she had left.

She was stunned when she heard the voice, and turned around suddenly to look at the young priest behind her.

A red crystal suddenly broke through Gudos’s chest, veins popped out, and blood vessels extended radially around the crystal, all the way to the bottom of his ribs.

The red light appears!

“W-what are you doing?” Dutanity trembled, unable to believe this scene.

She wanted to jump up and grab Gudos’ arm, but her arm quickly dropped down and she couldn’t use any strength.

Her soul had already been sublimated, and the blood mist absorbed the power from her body and transferred it to Gudos’s body in an instant.

The young priest completely ignored Dutanniditi’s question, a ferocious look appeared on his face, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his limbs became twisted and trembling.

It seems that he is immersed in that kind of extreme excitement.

The trembling hands were unable to fight anymore.

Dutannititi seemed to suddenly realize something – Gudos, this low-status purple priest who always complimented himself bluntly, was the carrier of communication with the gods!

The enemies hidden around you are the most terrifying.

However, this realization came too late. She was overwhelmed by desire and looked up.

What is that red crystal on his chest?

“You… stop it!”

The empress’ voice became hoarse, and the power and betrayal anger left her with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She vaguely realized that the crystal on the young priest’s chest and the crystal on her forehead seemed to be a pair.

The power waxed and waned, and the blood interacted and exchanged between the two bodies. In the strong resonance, she could feel that the blood mist was being guided and absorbed by the other party, and spread to the entire area in an instant.
