The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 415: Escape

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The voice that originated from the sky questioned with infinite majesty, causing several hundreds of the black-robed people that were standing on the lawn chanting, who had seemingly fallen into a collective hypnosis state, to awaken from their folly, delusive ceremony.

Before they could see the horror in the audience, they already felt the wrath from God. However, instead of fear, they looked up ecstatically at the huge eye and the rolling clouds in the sky before cheering in unison, “The Great Sovereign of Truth really exists! There really is a God in this world! Oh, God! No, no, the Heaven Sovereign who has insight into all truths, your believers are here...”

“Silence! You cruel, hateful bugs. I’m not talking to any of you but the sage who fooled you. Why did you change the Pledger I chose?” The dark clouds in the sky turned into a skinny face who stopped the praise of the Truth Society’s members and roared loudly instead.

Completely different from the scene they had imagined—of how there should be saint light shining down from the sky when God descended, with countless pure fat angels fluttering their wings while playing holy music and singing the sounds of Heaven—the entrance of the Sovereign of Truth splashed a bucket of cold water onto his believers from their excitement. At once, a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

However, it was clear that the situation was no longer in their control. For this reason, all of the Truth Society’s members cast their glance in unison on a young man who was wearing black-rimmed glasses while standing in the center of the octagonal diamond.

Sensing the puzzled gaze from the surrounding, the young man, who had finally gotten what he wished for after years of tedious preparations, took a few deep breaths to compose his nerves before beginning to explain, “It’s like this, oh Great Sovereign of Truth, one of your chosen Pledgers have encountered an incident yesterday and has suddenly disappeared. I had no choice but to find someone to replace him at the very last minute. Even so, the replacement is also your pious believer, and I believe he can become a good Pledger of yours...”

“Pious believer?” The human face formed by the black cloud suddenly had a cold smile on as it interrupted Kamil’s words. With a malicious sneer, he continued, “They don’t even know that I’m a God from the Faron World, so how can they possibly be my believers? Then again, these pure fires of faith exist, or otherwise, I’d not have been able to penetrate the fog of the realm and descend into this dirty, revolting world...”

“Great Sovereign of Truth, please don’t say so. It’s only a few politicians in this world, in this country, who are dirty. Most people have no idea that the armed force that is built out of their tax that is supposed to protect this homeland and publicize democracy is actually carrying out a cruel genocide massacre in your world. We will tell them the truth now. To be vigilant, perhaps we have to use cruel means, but remember, the reason we do so is for peace, the great peace between the two worlds...” Kamil raised his head to look at God’s face and corrected it without fear.

Once again, His statement did not enrage the Sovereign of Truth. Instead, clicking its tongue, it smirked, “You can think and say however you like, believer. All in all, even though there’s a slip up in the praying ceremony this time, it’s still a very good one given that it’s your first time doing so. Take out your ‘book’, I’ll give you a generous reward.”

Upon hearing this sentence, an uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on Kamil’s face that was originally filled with solemnness as he took out a book that was made from several pages bound together.

“Did Sage Altman leave only these few pages of the Book of Truth to you? Looks like the difficulty of exchanges across the world have made me look down on your talents.” When the face formed by clouds in the sky saw the thin ‘book’ in Kamil’s hands, an astonished expression crept upon its face. Without warning, it pursed its lips together and sucked suddenly, sucking the seven men standing at the tip of the octagonal diamonds that the black-robed people formed into the air.

Then, the face jabbered on with a warning, “Believer, remember when you summon me next time. The Prayers in the ceremony are the lighthouse for me to sail across the misty sea of the world. The more devout, the better. The Pledgers, on the other hand, are the medicine that prevents your world from rejecting me when I descend. It doesn’t matter if they’re devout or not and you can never replace them after I’ve chosen them...”

As it was speaking, it picked three seemingly stout ones among the seven Truth Society’s members who were constantly struggling with regrets and spurred the red huge eye to mince them alive so it could turn them into the shape of an arm that clenched its fist before rushing forward and slamming on its own face.

After it hit the face, it winced, and once again, it scattered to become clouds that tumbled violently as it shrouded the arm formed by human flesh.

Several seconds later, that arm suddenly broke through the clouds and there was a hard-covered, thick book embedded with an eye-like gemstone on the cover in the palm of the hand. Like a meteorite emitting scorching fire brilliance, it slowly fell down.

On the ground, Kamil looked at the thick book that the hand made from his companions’ bodies gripped as fascination and longing crept upon his face.

Meanwhile, the cloud that had become thin in the sky merged several times and finally formed a blurry and huge mouth that shouted out loud, “Kamil, this Book of Truth that I personally granted to you will give you a lifespan of at least several hundred years, an eternally strong body, a clear-minded and wise mind, and several hundreds of abstruse spells. With these, I believe that it won’t take long for us to meet again the next time. I’ll give you more power at that time, and who knows, maybe a figure from the foreign world would appear in one of the many god countries in the Faron World...”

“Thank you, oh Great Sovereign of Truth...” At the last moment when the arm that the Pledgers formed vanished into flying ashes and sent the thick book to Kamil, he opened the book while slightly trembling. He placed the thin pages in his hand into the book and watched them merge into one before replying in irrepressible excitement.

“This is the reward you deserve, believer. Alright, I’ll send you away from this bloody arena. Remember, hide as far as possible after you escape, lest the Eye of Raging Fire will accidentally injure you. It is the Eye Beast King that has once bathed in my two drops of God Blood before, so it can destroy the entire city,” the faint black big mouth warned in the sky. Then, it commanded the red huge eye to lift Kamil’s body up invisibly to the sky, before flying out of the stadium.

At this moment, the lawn and soil on the field suddenly swelled up high. An earthworm-like meat worm that was nearly 100 meters long with a diameter of about ten meters crept up from the ground. Its mouth, that was filled with squirming flesh buds, gulped and swallowed Kamil, who was in midair, into its stomach.

Then, several hundred tiny bugs crawled out of the hole that the worm drilled and expanded to become a group of ferocious giant bugs in the wind before charging towards the black-robed people in the field and the four Pledgers suspended in midair.

“Who? Who dares to kill my believer and stop me from ascending...” The Sovereign of Truth noticed the unexpected turn of events roared in rage.

However, being caught off-guard, it dared not risk being rejected by the world’s power and cross the fence to descend to Earth. It could only command the huge eyes to stop the attack of the giant bugs while twisting the Pledgers into meat sauce to fill and shape its body.

Unfortunately, even though the Eye Beast King was powerful, and that its ability was perfect with no flaw when it cast its power, they had not completed the praying ceremony. With its body descending onto Earth only managing to be completed halfway through, under an attack of the swarming group of bugs that had no fear in dying a violent death, almost half of the Pledgers’ blood and flesh fell into the huge bugs’ mouth instead.

When the giant eye distorted the other half of the Pledgers into blood sauce and devoured them, many tiny cracks began to appear on the surrounding air with hundreds of deep cracks emerging for no reason above the red huge eye floating in the air. Upon seeing this, Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and said in a whisper, “My sneak attack succeeded! Looks like that foreign world’s Sovereign of Truth no longer dared to show itself hastily on Earth anymore after the unexpected incidents that took place one after another during the summoning ceremony and only left its little pet to fight alone behind. Well, with just some small, petty deceiving tricks, I have the confidence to bring you all to escape from here successfully. Tina, Trish, Sheila, oh and Ellen too. You’ve proven your own worth with your words, so I’ve decided to bring you along. Two of you will hold hands with me while the other two will grab my arms. Relax your body and don’t think of anything. You only need to run ahead while following my footsteps and remember to hold onto me tightly, understood?”

After saying so, he extended both of his arms.

The four girls were dumbstruck. Tina and Sheila climbed up from the ground and took Zhang Lisheng’s hands without hesitation. At the same time, Trish held onto the young man’s right arm from behind. Ellen, on the other hand, grabbed onto Zhang Lisheng’s other arm after excitedly thanking him for a few times incoherently.

Seeing that the girls were already ready, Zhang Lisheng looked at the giant injured eye surrounded tightly by several hundreds of huge bugs but was gradually solidating from its shadow form on the sky of the stadium for the last time and dispersed all the clouds on his body. After turning back into his normal state, he jumped into the field together with the four girls and began to charge frantically at the side door that they used to enter the stadium just now.

The girl seemed to charge frantically together with Zhang Lisheng, but in truth, they did not use any energy at all in their legs. Listening to the howling of the wind while almost being lifted off the ground, they had already charged towards the door of the stadium’s side entrance before they could even register their fear.

Seeing that they were about to collide into the heavy iron door, Tina, Trish, and Sheila gnashed their teeth and tightened their grips onto Zhang Lisheng’s arms even more. Ellen, on the other hand, under her panic, instinctively released her grip without due consideration, and as her feet trip, she fell onto the ground.

Before she fell, like watching a slow-motion movie, at that instant when they came into contact with the iron door, she saw Zhang Lisheng’s body abruptly swelling up and in a way that disobeyed the way the human body worked with his shoulder joints rotating behind as he blocked in front of the three girls. He crashed onto the door and formed a human-shaped hole in it before dragging Tina, Trish, and Sheila out of the stadium with him.

At this time, Ellen finally realized that she had wasted a great opportunity to escape. After tumbling several times on the ground, she endured the painful crush and staggered as she ran towards the hole that Zhang Lisheng made. At that instant when she saw the pleasantly warm sunshine scattered on the remote street outside, an invisible force bounced her back from the hole and minced her to become bloody mist in the air.
