837 Chapter 503: The Strange Swamp [1/3]
At this moment, the Dwarf God felt like he had been imprisoned for a long time and wanted to interfere in everything.
The feeling of being forced to sleep for millions of years wasn’t something one would excitedly look forward to.
Richard was naturally happy to accept the benefits that came to his doorstep.
“Your Excellency Fam, what should we do?”
The Dwarf God’s deep eyes seemed to see through space. It momentarily stared ahead and said slowly, “Order all the troops to leave this land. I will melt the planar power into the land afterward and turn it into a special existence. We also call this revitalizing the land.”
“Any intrusion shouldn’t happen during this process.”
‘Revitalize the land?’
This idea was heart-captivating.
That quickly jolted Richard’s interest.
Richard unhesitantly ordered the troops to evacuate the blood and broken limb-convexed area. They temporarily halted moving the corpses.
The troops departed, and Richard proceeded to the central area and placed the majestic statue in his hand into the flesh according to the instructions of the Dwarf God. He left afterward.
Curiosity impregnated Loreinna’s silver eyes as she watched Richard leave.
The silver-eyed archduchess stared at this bloody, gruesome land momentarily. She stretched out her hand to point at the location of the dwarf statue and said hesitantly, “Lord, I sensed a soul-tormenting aura from that statue…A god must be inside.”
Richard smiled.
“Your perception is correct. There is indeed an ancient god inside.”
Loreinna had only been out of the vampire coffin for a short time. So she knew a few about Twilight City of its past. She couldn’t help but acknowledge wide-eyed when she heard this.
She unconsciously exclaimed.
“You, you imprisoned a god?!”
‘What level of life were gods? The lord had imprisoned a controller of the laws, a ruler with supreme power inside a statue!’
That made Loreinna feel enormously incredulous.
‘Could it be this lord hid some unfathomable power?’
Richard shook his head.
“No, this god primitively slept inside the statue. I, fortunately, obtained the statue by accident.”
Only then did Loreinna feel a little more at ease. This explanation was much less of a shock than sealing a god.
Richard took another statue out and gestured to her before she could conciliate, and the succeeding claim made the vampire archduchess’s eyes glaze over.
“It was the Deception God. I imprisoned the god of deception inside this ancient god statue.
“That god is skilled in lies and deception. He’s not easy to deal with. I haven’t thought of how to deal with him yet.
“You will see him when the situation has stabilized.”
‘Another god, indeed!’
Loreina perked open-mouthed, and her heart pounded. Her delicate face revealed a trifle of blankness.
‘Since when did gods become as common as bread sold on the streets?
‘Had I slept too long, and something I could not fathom happened to the world?
‘I could not question the sleeping god in the other statue, but what about the god this lord had imprisoned?’
Questions brimmed Loreinna’s mind. She wanted to know more about Twilight City’s past on the lord’s return.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to know only a trifle of her lord’s experiences as a member of Twilight City.
A subtle change occurred on the blood-inked ground just as the two talked.
The Dwarf God statue surged pale white energy that flowed out in all directions like waves.
A layer of hazy gauze covered this bloody land that had lost millions of lives.
The ground below was a hellish land of flesh and limbs that emitted hot air as far as the eyes could see. A white frog with a hint of holy power stood above it.
The two opposite energies formed a strange image, extremely contradictory.
One seemed to have tossed the countless broken limbs on the ground into the mud and gradually sank when the pale white energy enveloped the battlefield with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.
‘Gu! Gu! Gu!’
Bubbles emerged from the ground. And the blood gradually merged into the soil. The dry and hard land turned sticky.
It turned into a filthy thing like mud.
The pale white energy gradually became brighter, and a majestic energy tide hung in the surroundings.
The speed at which the flesh and blood on the area merged into the ground became even faster under the pressure of the energy.
The land gradually became a swamp of corpses, limbs, and flesh.
Fantasy engulfed the process.
The pale white energy gradually thinned half an hour afterward.
One could see from the sky the broken limbs and blood of millions of lives merged into the ground.
The entire land of flesh, soil, and rocks suddenly became a strange swamp.
One would immediately sink to the base of his thigh if one stepped on it.
At this moment, twisted corpses floated in the flesh swamp.
Some of the corpses had their faces exposed, some had their backs exposed, and most of them had arms or dismembered limbs floated on the surface.
Bubbles incessantly popped, and the tiny popping sounds were inexplicably soul-wrecking.
One could still feel the stench of burnt hair and rotten plants even from afar.
However, the most striking part was the central area.
A few thin threads pulled a crimson blood ball and gently floated above the flesh swamp.
That made one’s back feel cold with the surrounding gruesome atmosphere.
This scene was ten times, or more, terrifying than the battlefield filled with corpses.
Previously, it was just like the hellish abyss, but now it had become the abyss of purgatory.
