American Exorcism Male God

The Kingdom of Sorrow drew ever closer to the Black Abyss, and Freddie trembled when he heard Xu Yi tell him to charge into it.

"Is this really a good idea?" Freddie hesitated. "Have you forgotten that damned bug? My life is still in Isoson's hands."

"What are you afraid of? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how would Isoson know it was you?"

Xu Yi felt disdain for his lack of ambition, what kind of a murderer had such a cowardly disposition?

As the "neighbor" of that Soul Devouring Bug, it made sense that he would make a special effort to understand it. The bug was dormant within Freddie's Soul Core and lacked the ability to spy.

"Right! Isoson won't know it was me doing it!" Freddie's eyes lit up instantly.

He stared at the Black Abyss above, his teeth chattering with rage, as a flood of new hatreds and old grudges surged to his heart.

All of a sudden, the Kingdom of Sorrow accelerated and collided with the Black Abyss with a thunderous crash.

This collision carried a touch of personal vendetta. Freddie had exerted all his strength, to no avail; the Black Abyss didn't budge at all. Instead, a massive crack appeared on the Boundary Membrane of the Kingdom of Sorrow.

"That won't work!" cried Freddie, his face etched with disappointment.

"Don't panic, they will make their move," Xu Yi assured him.

No sooner had Xu Yi's words fallen than the Black Abyss suddenly "opened its gaping maw," swallowing the Kingdom of Sorrow whole.

The translucent Boundary Membrane of the Kingdom of Sorrow allowed them to see the other side, and conversely, the outside could also see in. At this moment, Oss of the Flesh Mountain looked truly pitiful, his body dripping with fresh blood.

Since Isoson's target was Oss of the Flesh Mountain, he would not pass up such an opportune moment.

The light within the Black Abyss was very dim, with only a cluster of purplish-red light floating in the center, like a solitary lamp.

The "buzzing" sound was incessant, as swarms of giant insects filled the air. The bugs were divided into dozens of tribes, their shapes twisted and bizarre -- the entire Black Abyss was essentially a giant insect cage.

The land of the Black Abyss was covered with grass, black and long, waving in the wind like a dark sea on a night devoid of stars or moon, the tides surging.

After entering the Black Abyss, Freddie lost control of the Kingdom of Sorrow, which plummeted downwards and crashed, grass blades chaotically flying about.

The Kingdom of Sorrow shook violently, and Jason, too, was affected. The external force became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The air currents around Jason suddenly dissipated, and a tremendous suction force struck him; it seemed he would be sucked into the black vortex.

"No!" Freddie screamed in agony.

At that moment, the black vortex suddenly reversed, spinning in the opposite direction. The suction turned into repulsion, and Jason was shot out like a cannonball.

"Wow! I'm alive again!" Although Freddie was somewhat confused by the situation, the moment the suction disappeared, he reacted instantly, quickly detaching himself from Jason's leg to avoid collateral damage.

Xu Yi could roughly guess what had happened. The sudden "change of heart" in Oss of the Flesh Mountain was, of course, due to the Black Abyss.

From the series of events preceding this, it was evident that Oss possessed considerable intelligence. His decision to exile Jason was to prevent the Kingdom of Sorrow from being destroyed.

But now that the Kingdom of Sorrow had been swallowed by the Black Abyss, and with Isoson, the old enemy approaching, Oss shrewdly shifted his strategy.

Xu Yi was able to discern this simply because the direction in which Jason was "shot" out was precisely where Isoson was located.

A shadow descended from the sky like a grey moth, Isoson faced the incoming "bullet" with disdain. One of his centipede-like tails swept casually, and black flames engulfed Jason.

Isoson didn't take Jason seriously, thinking he was merely another insignificant ant, easy to dispose of. His gaze was fixed solely on Oss.

Little did he know, just over ten minutes ago, Oss had thought the same and had already been taught a lesson by Jason.

Jason paid no heed to the black flames on his body, once again condensing a giant cleaver in his hand. As the cleaver came down, a bloody blade light flew towards Isoson.

In Jason's eyes, there were no concepts of factions; every living being was his target, so he didn't feel like he was being used as a pawn.

Isoson's left wing was split open by the bloody blade light, and a myriad of tentacles spewed out from the cut, intertwining with each other to restore the wing to its former state.

However, after that strike, Isoson finally began to take Jason seriously, but he didn't have the time to deal with Jason for the moment, as Oss suddenly made a move.

The blood-colored meat mountain suddenly split apart, turning into a sky full of "Flesh Snakes," each one with a face twisted in agony at the front.

The "Flesh Snakes" swept across the sky like a meteor shower, flying towards the Boundary Membrane.

This was Isoson's territory, and of course, Oss wouldn't think of settling a victory or defeat with Isoson here, so retreating was the best choice.

Isoson suddenly flapped his wings, appearing in front of Oss with an agility that belied his massive body, and his widespread wings intercepted all of the "Meteors."

Of course, he wouldn't let Oss leave easily.

Jason wanted to pursue, but he was engulfed by a swarm of bizarre insects.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yi suddenly spoke up, looking perplexedly at Freddie beside him.

Whether by coincidence or Freddie's intention, the place where Freddie had fallen was precisely where Xu Yi's illusion was located.

The flattened "Freddie's Worm" hit the ground and began to squirm rapidly, reverting to its original form in a moment, albeit much thinner, but still looking lively.

"Can't you see?" Freddie was sprinting across the land of the Kingdom of Sorrow, his direction being the dark Boundary Membrane in the distance, "Of course it's to escape! If we don't run now, we will surely die!"

"Why would we die?" Xu Yi asked softly.

Freddie suddenly froze, turning his head to look back. Isoson was busy dealing with Oss, and Oss was even more preoccupied.

As for the swarming insects overhead, without Isoson's command, and strictly speaking, since Freddie was also a member of the Black Abyss, not even a single bug attacked him.

The Kingdom of Sorrow beneath his feet had also transformed back into a silent city. Freddie had briefly gained control of the Kingdom of Sorrow, and now those two-faced creatures no longer attacked him either.

"Right! Why am I running?" Freddie finally came back to his senses, realizing that he was not in danger at all.

"Moreover, even if you wanted to escape, where could you go? How would you pass through the Boundary Membrane and traverse the dreamlike void?"

Xu Yi's voice was low as he began to persuade gently, feeling more like a demon than Freddie.

Freddie stood still, his eyes somewhat bewildered.

Xu Yi did not let up on Freddie, pressing his advantage, "And have you forgotten the worm inside your body? Even if you could escape back to Amusement City, what would you do afterward? Would Isoson let you go?"

Xu Yi paused briefly, giving Freddie time to think, "Even if Isoson let you go, would you want to be Isoson's dog for the rest of your life?"

Freddie suddenly turned his head, glowering at Xu Yi with a fierce expression.

He had been completely exposed by Xu Yi's words; his current behavior was nothing more than angry humiliation.

Xu Yi seemed oblivious to the ferocity in Freddie's eyes. He leaned in close to Freddie's ear, lowered his voice, and spoke softly. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Freddie's head jerked up, staring at Xu Yi with surprise. The Xu Yi at this moment was so unfamiliar it was terrifying.

The words that Xu Yi whispered in his ear were, "Why not consider devouring Isoson?"
