Chapter 294 The Divine Might of the Chaos Egg! Herding a Realm! The Black Moon Falls! The King of Words (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Cursed Mouth, known as a joke from fate, can predict the future of all life in this world.
Knowing the future seems like a good thing.
An inescapable, inevitable death is a curse!
They typically choose loyal believers or enemies to recount their fates, then record the valuable information revealed within, thus allowing the White Orthodox Church to seize the initiative in the tides of the times and avoid the crisis of annihilation.
We've always been on the right path!
Because of its inescapable curse, the existence of the Cursed Mouth serves as a deterrent to all the powerful figures in the entire kingdom…
You are just like ordinary people, you are all ants!
Even the royal family is the same, except that they have the power to overturn the table before they die!
Unexpectedly, someone actually dared to try to learn about the future from the mouth of the curse!
Is this guy crazy?
However, Bai Zheng looked at the man who had barged into the church and was killing the church members with such indifference that it was as if he had crushed a group of ants, but it only made Bai Zheng feel cold all over.
As a member of the White Orthodox Church who had fought against the Seven Curse Kings for two hundred years, he naturally recognized that this was the power of the Curse King—the King of Ten Thousand Eyes—who had returned to the kingdom's territory in the last twenty years.
Its brief arrival proclaimed to the world that the myth of gold restraining curses had been shattered!
With absolute dominance, reign supreme over the world!
"How is that possible..."
Bai Zheng couldn't understand why the power of the King of Ten Thousand Eyes would appear in a human being.
Did they steal the power of the King of Ten Thousand Eyes?
Or did they submit to the King of Curses and receive a gift?
As for the King of Curses, that's impossible!
The human body cannot contain such a terrifying life!
Bai Zheng couldn't understand, so he took a deep breath and said:
"You're the one behind Han Ning..."
"A noisy insect that can't understand human speech!" Lu Yu frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Bai Zheng, pure white light flowing deep in his pupils.
boom! boom! boom!
Before Bai Zheng could react, his body was hit as if by a truck. The immense force sent him flying backward, crashing through several white jade and gold-patterned pillars of the church before finally embedding himself in the golden wall of donations, instantly denting it.
Celestial Breathing - Witness Technique!
By combining the rhythm of one's own breathing with the eyes, the "qi" flowing from the gaze vibrates the air, triggering a terrifying air tremor and unleashing a powerful shockwave!
This is a little technique for using your body and breathing!
It works even on the same level, let alone lower levels.
It's a complete game-changer!
Rumble!
The impact caused the entire church to tremble, scattering large amounts of dust and making a cracking sound as it struggled to withstand the weight. Had it not been for the extensive repairs, expansions, and reinforcements undertaken over two centuries with substantial financial and human resources, this magnificent building, a testament to the faith of countless believers and a witness to human history, might very well have collapsed.
"What happened?"
Even so, it still shook all the members of the White Orthodox Church, drawing their gazes to the magnificent church.
Fear slowly crept into his eyes!
"cough--"
Bai Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood. He could feel a large number of bones in his body breaking, and some bone fragments even pierced his pleura. However, due to the injury, he could only breathe rapidly, which brought him intense pain and constantly stimulated his brain, making the world in front of him blurry!
If it weren't for the fact that his body had been strengthened multiple times by magical powers and various magical elixirs, this single attack would have been enough to send him to meet the first Pope!
"When Mr. Men asks questions, you only need to answer them." The speaker was Han Ning, who came from outside the church.
She was dressed in military uniform, tall and slender, with a black and red mane fluttering in the wind. Behind her was a forest of crystals, filled with a large legion of fully armed spell cavalry.
The White Orthodox Church uses magical techniques, including gold and binding abilities, to divide a cursed beast into several parts, which are then bound by different people, thereby increasing the success rate of suppressing the cursed beast.
Addition is not only for the addition of cursed beasts.
It is also human addition!
However, the price is that these people must stay inseparable; otherwise, if the cursed beasts are too far apart, they will attract each other, triggering a more severe curse outbreak. Furthermore, their potential will be lowered because the cursed beasts are divided, at most allowing them to advance to the level of a Grandmaster of Curse Binding.
However, the advantage is that it can reduce the pollution of curse power, and they can cooperate to use combined curses. When the number reaches a certain level, even ordinary curse gods will not be able to defeat them.
Then, led by a high priest of the White Orthodox Church, a legion of only a hundred men was formed, capable of conquering half the kingdom in a single night and crushing the corpses of countless heretics.
It is one of the most powerful armed forces of the White Orthodox Church!
Even the most heinous organization, the Negative King Society, was hunted down by them like rats, fleeing in terror and never seeing the light of day.
But at this moment, they were sealed by the crystal, reflecting the sunlight and retaining their astonished expressions.
Beautiful yet cold!
Although not yet dead, under the corrosive influence of the Crystallization Curse, it will soon crystallize along with its organs, and finally shatter with a "bang," turning into countless crystal fragments.
"Help!"
"Intruder!"
"Quickly, go to the royal palace and seek reinforcements!"
"..."
Seeing the annihilation of the Cursed Cavalry Legion, large numbers of White Orthodox believers fled in terror, shouting for help. The scene was chaotic, and the entire royal city was alarmed.
"Who dares to invade the royal city?"
Powerful auras surged forth from within the royal city, with the royal aura being the strongest, consisting of four powerful cursed generals.
Including the other forces, a total of eight curse gods appeared. As a group with shared interests, they were about to provide support when they heard a soul fluctuation sweep across the entire royal city.
"roll!"
The voice was concise yet thunderous, making the eight cursed generals momentarily see a shining sun rising, illuminating all things.
Pfft!
The moment they came into contact with the light, they all coughed up blood, and the cursed power within their bodies surged. Logically, they should have faced the fate of being corrupted by the curse.
But at this moment, the cursed beasts within them were curled up in a ball, trembling, as if...
fear!
At this moment, millions of people in the entire royal city gaped open, as if an invisible hand had grabbed their necks, making them want to speak but unable to utter a sound.
One word can overpower an entire nation!
"How is that possible!?"
The remaining curse gods were horrified. What kind of powerful being was it that had severely injured them without even seeing their faces?
And they could sense that the other party was merely warning them that if they tried to get any closer, death would be their fate!
If they can communicate, they probably aren't the King of Curses.
So, the White Orthodox Church...
What exactly did we provoke?
After the paper knight had done all this, its gaze was calm. Chivalry taught it to be humble, which meant being polite to others.
It's quite polite of them not to kill them outright, isn't it?
"..."
The mouse silently put away the Thousand Faces Drum, thinking to itself that it must strike first next time!
Otherwise, if things continue like this, he won't even be able to keep his position as the second-best general under Xiu Ren.
On the golden wall of the church.
Bai Zheng struggled to lift his head, his previous composure gone. His hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched. He endured the discomfort caused by the hemothorax resulting from the ruptured and compressed lung tissue, and asked in a weak voice:
"Marshal Han Ning, your attack on the White Cult and the slaughter of humanity's guardians—are you attempting to betray the kingdom?"
"Guardians?" Han Ning scoffed upon hearing this, and said indifferently, "They are nothing but a bunch of rotten good-for-nothings who yearn to enter the Golden Land. They are protecting not so much humans, but you nobles."
"Nobles are also human beings. Compared to the rabble, they are the ones who were able to quickly establish civilization after the catastrophe. They are the spark of humanity!" Bai Zheng replied.
In his view, the law of the jungle is the only truth in the world!
The path of addition is also for becoming stronger!
If humanity truly reaches that point, the strong will be the foundation for rebuilding humanity, and their bloodlines will give rise to even more powerful races.
This was based on rational consideration; he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Han Ning sneered and ignored the other party's sophistry.
Moreover, she has always followed in Mr. Men's footsteps and has never submitted to the kingdom, so how can there be any talk of betrayal?
Mr. Men is right!
hum!
The dark pyramid was reflected again behind Bai Zheng, with the cursed beast in the lower left corner shining brightly. A humanoid monster with no skin and its entire body made of blood appeared, its gaping maw wide open, with a large number of blood threads sticking together and breaking apart.
Blood Curse Spirit!
Hiss!
A large amount of blood vessels spread from Bai Zheng's body, forcibly expelling the broken bone fragments and a large amount of stone debris, and temporarily filling the broken organs to prevent massive bleeding. In the blink of an eye, he was able to stand up.
"Blood Curse Secret Technique - Crimson Church!"
Bai Zheng roared, and countless blood threads spread out in the void, instantly covering the entire church and turning it into a scarlet land, as if welcoming the arrival of the god of blood.
All life that enters it will have its blood consumed, turning it into a dried-up corpse.
However, facing Bai Zheng's all-out attack, Lu Yu simply took a step forward.
boom!
All the blood vessels instantly shattered, turning into countless blood droplets that hovered in mid-air. The original Lu Yu vanished as a blur, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Bai Zheng.
He reached out and, amidst the wails of the Blood Curse Spirit, forcibly grabbed it and then ripped it apart!
Click!
They actually managed to forcibly shatter a corner of the Dark Pyramid!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Bai Zheng's soul was torn apart, and he couldn't help but let out a wail. The dark pyramid behind him also lost its balance and went out of control in an instant.
The cursed spirit then appeared in the lower right corner, and it turned out to be...
A gigantic, one-eyed skull made of countless bones.
"The White Bone Curse Spirit!" Han Ning exclaimed in surprise, not expecting it to be this curse spirit.
This is a top-tier cursed beast, second only to the King of Curses. It first appeared in an ancient cemetery in the south of the kingdom, stirring up a frenzy of bones that swept through several cities.
Wherever its gaze fell, the curse of bones swept across, turning everything into bones, piling up into a kingdom of skeletons, with corpses strewn everywhere.
In the end, the White Church paid a heavy price to seal it away, but unexpectedly, the White Church managed to bind it successfully.
Even though Han Ning disliked him, he had to admit that this guy was a genius.
"Using bones to control blood, and blood to restrain bones, that's why after I got the Blood Curse Spirit, I deliberately let this white bone spirit transform, otherwise the initial balance could not be achieved." Bai Zheng's voice rang out, revealing a huge secret, which made Han Ning's expression change.
She never expected the truth of what happened back then to be like this, and couldn't help but angrily rebuke:
"madman!"
"If anyone's to blame, blame the world for going mad," Bai Zheng murmured. "Only when bones and blood are intertwined... can one become a person, and only then can a person speak!"
In reality, the mouth that utters curses...
They were still underestimated by everyone!
It can even predict the future of the King of Curses.
However, the stronger the life force, the longer the lifespan required. The Curse God may seem powerful, but in reality, he only needs five years, just like an ordinary person.
But the King of Curses needs a lifespan of decades or even hundreds of years.
Using it even once will almost certainly cause the curse master to die instantly!
Bai Zheng once suspected that the third pope might have used the power of the Curse King's Word of Death, which led to his premature demise.
But then again, it seemed impossible. The first pope had already warned that this ability should never be used against the King of Curses.
The reason is that cursed beasts have the characteristic of immortality. Even if a calamity descends, it cannot kill the King of Curses, and it is difficult to even severely injure him.
It was just a pointless sacrifice!
Anyone who isn't stupid wouldn't do such a thing!
Although Bai Zheng remembered this sentence and combined the rules of bone and blood curses to develop a forbidden spell, although it could not reduce the cost of the curse of life, it could make the same lifespan burst out with three times the effect.
However, he remained extremely wary of this cursed beast and would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
Because he was afraid,
I'm terrified of hearing my fate from her!
But at this moment, when death arrives...
Instead of being afraid, he was no longer afraid!
"Unite!"
Before the balance was completely broken, Bai Zheng forcibly used the remaining curse power to try and push the power of the Cursed Mouth to its limit, but he was still a little short...
The White Bone Curse Spirit could not fully contain the mouth of the curse!
The pattern of a single curse makes it impossible to cast forbidden spells!
"Just a little bit more!"
Just when Bai was in despair, Lu Yu actually returned the Blood Curse Spirit.
Bai Zheng's eyes widened, feeling not surprise but immense humiliation and condescending contempt. He roared maniacally:
"Why...why can you do whatever you want in this twisted world!" His face aged visibly, his hair and beard turned white rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he became an old man with a hunched back and loose skin covered with age spots.
It burned through ninety years of its lifespan, and through cost reduction, it unleashed three times the effect, forcibly establishing the balance of the Dark Pyramid.
boom!
Bone and flesh coalesced into a blurry, dark, skeletal figure, which reached out a skeletal hand to grasp the mouth of cursed fate. The three connected, transforming into a mutilated figure with only a mouth, unleashing an aura far surpassing that of the Cursed God General.
It is already incredibly close to, or even comparable to, the power of the King of Curses!
He didn't know whether Lu Yu had bound the King of Curses or received a blessing, but humans do not possess the characteristic of immortality!
As long as you are human, you will die if you are killed!
boom!
A strange and dark force of fate descends, foreshadowing a future of certain death.
"Oh no!" Han Ning's heart tightened. Although she believed in Mr. Men's power, she knew even more clearly how terrifying the rules of cursed beasts were!
That is the embodiment of the apocalypse!
Han Ning's first instinct was to rush in front of Mr. Men and shield him from the attack, but...
Can't move!
My feet have been covered with crystals by the spirit worms inside my body!
"It's mine!" Mr. Men's calm voice rang out, leaving Han Ning both amused and exasperated, while also praying in his heart that nothing bad would happen.
The Cursed Mouth faced Lu Yu, slowly opening its mouth, and a soft woman's voice rang out:
"Your fate..."
"Let's end this!"
Bai Zheng's cloudy eyes were filled with anticipation, then he heard the voice of the Cursed One become halting and hoarse:
"Like a machine..."
It was as if an even worse cassette tape had been put into an old record player, causing it to jam. The sound went from gentle at first to hoarse, then completely lost, and finally…
With a bang, all three cursed spirits exploded, turning into countless fragments. Through their indestructible nature, they reassembled and exploded again!
It's as if we're trapped in a bizarre loop, like...
The system crashed and stopped working!
Lu Yu watched this scene in silence for a long while, then coldly uttered two words:
"waste!"
He acted like a villain, constantly forcing Bai Zheng to unleash his full power. He even made Rat use the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree to keep Bai Zheng's soul from dying, fearing that Bai Zheng would die halfway through. He even shut down the [Destiny Protection] on Bai Zheng's body.
Even if there are side effects, they can be countered with the Eye of Truth or the Substitute Fruit.
Unexpectedly, the ultimate state of the Cursed Mouth, which had been painstakingly created, did not elicit the slightest reaction from the Key of Truth.
"I was originally hoping to see if it could serve as a medium to unleash the power of the Key of Truth, since I could decide whether the contamination spread, and it would give me an extra trump card. But... I couldn't even get past the ranch!"
Lu Yu was speechless. Just now, the Chaos Egg in the ranch sensed the spying and gave a slight tremor. It wasn't serious at all; it was just like turning over, and then it shattered the Mouth of Cursed Fate.
What a shame!
Indeed, one should not have too high expectations for the power of small worlds!
"How is this possible!?" Bai Zheng couldn't believe what he was seeing was real. With his frail old body, he struggled to turn his neck and looked into Lu Yu's cloudy eyes, as if he understood something.
No wonder the Han family gained power after being captured by the King of Fu!
The King of Ten Thousand Eyes will be suddenly defeated... He will use the power of the Curse of Ten Thousand Eyes... The previous Pope remained tight-lipped about this...
All the clues connect, leaving only one possibility.
What the Calamity Beast Curse God brought back back was most likely a...
The King of Humanoid Curses!
Only another king can devour the King of Curses!
Bai Zheng had already come to terms with reality and said nonchalantly:
"The White Orthodox Church, spanning 217 years and four popes, has lost a total of 3,321 cursed beings. Han Ning, as long as humanity exists, the history they have written will prove that we have always been on the right path, and that all our sacrifices were meaningful. Instead, it is you who grovel at the feet of the King of Curses who should kill me!"
"Then you'll die with your eyes wide open in disbelief. After all, the power of your White Orthodox Church seems to originate from the King of Curses, or rather, it should be said that it has been manipulated by him," Lu Yu said.
The words made Bai Zheng tremble, and Han Ning, standing beside him, looked at Mr. Men in shock and couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Men, what does this mean?"
Lu Yu stopped the Chaos Egg's rampage against the Maw of Cursed Fate, allowing it to reform. Primal Starry Sky Energy emanated from his hand, binding it. He activated his Eye of Truth and said meaningfully:
"In fact, the first White Orthodox Pope was indeed an outstanding person, but unfortunately, he was also fooled. The 'Mouth of Cursed Fate' is actually a wrong title; it should be called..."
"Part of the King of Words!"
From the very beginning, he noticed that something was wrong with the Mouth of Curse, and the Eye of Truth could not see any information. After being shattered, it even demonstrated a recovery ability at the level of the King of Curses.
Therefore, it is easy to deduce the answer, and even some of Lu Yu's previous doubts are resolved.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ning's eyes widened in disbelief.
Because the King of Words, the first King of Curses to appear in this world, was the one who started the world-sweeping rampage of cursed beasts and was the origin of all calamities.
Its shape is a gaping black maw, which contains no teeth but countless overlapping mouths, like an endless loop.
Its curse effect is that the moment it opens its mouth, it emits a strange tone that causes all life within a certain range to die instantly, their bodies melting into mouths and merging into them.
Therefore, many people believe that its cursing ability is the power of words to curse.
What I'm saying is death!
Lu Yu continued, "Actually, you'll understand if you just think back. Didn't the first Curse King only appear in the early stages of the Black Tide, and the subsequent activity was all due to the other six Curse Kings?"
Bai Zheng opened his mouth to refute, but then swallowed it back, because he realized that the Word Spirit King had indeed rarely appeared since the birth of the curse system.
Each appearance of the King of Curses signifies the demise of several cities, with few survivors. The only clues are the immense power of the curses that indicate its presence.
The names of the seven Kings of Curses were obtained at the cost of countless human deaths!
Therefore, even if other Kings of Curses were responsible, as long as there were no survivors, the blame would easily fall on the King of Words.
The key is……
The power of the Cursed Mouth is very similar to that of the Word King.
The only difference is that one is a future death, and the other is an immediate death!
It's just speeding up the process!
Considering that the Pope also left a prohibition, absolutely forbidding any successor from using the Curse of Fate on any King of Curses.
Rather than fearing a pointless sacrifice, it's more accurate to say...
Fearing it might trigger some kind of unexpected change!
For example, stimulating the mouth of the cursed creature to return it to the King of Words.
After all, the first King of Curses represents the beginning of the Black Tide, and it may also represent...
The end of everything!
Is everything the White Orthodox Church has today actually bestowed upon it by the King of Curses?
"Mr. Men, so you mean it was the first Pope of the White Church who delayed the destruction of the world?" Han Ning asked this question.
Bai, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly saw a lifeline and his eyes lit up. Although they had borrowed the power of the King of Curses, they were still the guardians of the world.
The White Church, though its methods differ, is still the right one!
However, Lu Yu shook his head: "On the contrary, the Pope was indeed a man of great wisdom, but do you really think that ordinary humans before the creation of the Curse Binder system could get close to the King of Curses?"
In fact, all of this was tacitly approved by the King of Words, who even provided considerable assistance.
"Why?" Han Ning couldn't understand why the King of Curses would do this.
Aren't they going to destroy the world?
Lu Yu said meaningfully, "How many people died when the first Black Tide descended?"
"Half..." Han Ning, as a native of this small world, had a deep understanding of this history and quickly gave an answer. However, after speaking, he sensed something was amiss and muttered:
"Controlling the entire world?!"
"Very clever!" Lu Yu looked at her admiringly and continued, "Because there are too few people, the cursed creatures will become part of the cursed beasts. However, the number of humans two hundred years ago was enough for the Word King, but not enough to support the complete formation of the subsequent Curse King."
Even in dire circumstances, life may give up on reproduction, so we need to give them a little hope.
The curse-binder system thus came into being, and its ability to see the future gave humanity a chance to breathe, thus accelerating its reproduction.
The Black Tide that happens every ten years, don't you think it's too regular? It's essentially like raising livestock, harvesting them periodically. Only in this way can the subsequent King of Curses be continuously supported in taking shape. And there's something interesting about it...
Lu Yu looked at Bai Zheng and smiled, "Actually, every time you use the Cursed Mouth, the King of Curses appears not long afterward, right?"
It's less of a prophecy and more of...
call!
Just like a rancher summoning cattle and sheep to feed them with a bell, this ability is destined not to be used casually because it will shorten one's lifespan. In addition, due to the special nature of the White Orthodox Church, each use is most likely to be used at a critical moment.
As for using the ability during the ten-year gap in the Black Tide?
That's for sure, but remember that when carnivores are full, their appetite is very low and they may not respond to calls.
But if used multiple times, they will come!
But that's obviously impossible. Even if other forces wanted to ensure their own survival, they wouldn't provoke the White Church.
This creates the illusion that ten years is an inevitable cycle.
In fact, all of these can be done in advance.
However, the fourth pope was somewhat different from his predecessors. He developed a special method of addition that could bind various cursed beasts, so he didn't need to use the power of the Cursed Mouth most of the time. This is probably one of the reasons why the King of Curses has not appeared in the past twenty years.
In summary, the White Orthodox Church, supposedly the guardians of humanity, is actually just a watchdog for cattle and sheep...
Sheepdog!
It may seem like it's allowing humanity to continue, but in reality it's just about survival, leading to even more deaths!
It's like continuously placing food on the table for the Kings of Curses to enjoy!
Han Ning understood this, his expression incredibly complex, even filled with profound despair. This world, from the very beginning, was a lie.
Bai Zheng did not deny it, his expression urgent, as if grasping at a lifeline, and asked:
"Mr. Door... does that mean the King of Curses won't appear again unless he uses the Cursed Word?"
If this can be achieved, then the White Orthodox Church still has room for redemption, or even for restoring order.
He didn't want the White Orthodox Church, which he had admired since childhood, to have been a lie from the beginning, and that they were not heroes, but rather evil servants who aided and abetted evil!
However, Lu Yu merely looked at him with pity and said calmly:
"The medium is just a bell. Do you think they will not actively hunt when they are hungry?"
Since they haven't awakened for twenty years, it means they're not that hungry anymore. Of course, this doesn't include the unfortunate King of Ten Thousand Eyes, who should still be lacking something. Apart from that, no other Kings of Curses have appeared.
If I'm not mistaken, it probably only needs to eat a few cities to fill its stomach, and since the King of Curses has started to reduce its food intake, there are only two possibilities...
"Either my appetite has shrunk, or I'll save it..."
"A new King of Curses has been born!"
Bai Zheng, this prodigy who innovated with such ingenuity, was actually influenced by the cursed mouth, just like the first pope, and his goal...
it goes without saying!
Naturally, these are the white bone curse spirit and the blood curse spirit on his body.
The so-called balance was also something that the mouth of the curse actively allowed.
They will become the new Kings of Curses once the right opportunity arises!
The seven Kings of Curses plus these two seem to make a perfect combination...
As Lu Yu pondered this, Bai Zheng also realized that the man who thought himself a savior was actually just a puppet controlled by the cursed mouth, and couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter:
"Turns out... I was the biggest idiot all along!"
After saying that, he used all his strength to slam into the sharp protrusion on the golden wall, which pierced his heart directly. Blood gushed out and dripped onto the ground.
He slowly raised his head, stroking the countless names of believers on the wall, his gaze devout, just as when he was a child, led by the hand by the third pope to pay homage here, and said in a broken voice:
"...White...the glory of the orthodox Church...no...it will not end in my...my hands..."
Before he could finish speaking, his arm fell limply to his side!
The fourth pope of the White Orthodox Church has died!
Han Ning watched this scene and fell silent.
At the same time, cries of alarm rang out throughout the Cursed King City, interspersed with words like "moon" and "black tide," the noise was chaotic, and a sense of panic continued to spread.
Lu Yu walked to the church entrance, looked up, and saw the moon in the sky, which had turned black at some point.
And in...
Slowly falling!
