Chapter 977: Anointing and Baptism
Chapter 977: Anointing and Baptism
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Lyon's forehead twitched as he faced the bizarre request of the red-haired director, who wanted a sip of his drink. He grabbed her shoulder and pushed her away, his face darkening as he spoke.
"What time is it now? Can't you be serious for once?"
"I am being serious~"
The red-haired director didn't seem to mind being pushed away. She moved closer, cupping her hands to her chest and blushing as she spoke.
"I genuinely have feelings for you. I'm willing to take the risk of seducing a married man and start an affair with you."
"..."
"I'm serious."
Seeing Lyon's eyes clearly conveying 'You're full of it', the red-haired director blinked and then locked her eyes on Lyon's wrist, leaning in with a deep and tender expression.
"Actually, I'm a fragile woman on the inside. I want someone to protect me from the wind and rain, someone to care for me. But no one has ever done that for me~"
"But you not only care for me, you're willing to take on the responsibility, and even now, you haven't given up. You're still trying to save me... Oh~ You're such a good man that I can't help but be drawn to you."
"?!?"
Are you fucking kidding me?! Are you sure it's me that you can't resist?
Lyon struggled for a moment, seeing the director swallowing her saliva and approaching with a gleam in her eyes. He leaned back and tried to pull away, saying:
"Cut it out! Let's focus on the task at hand... First, call over the Serpent Director and brief him on the situation!"
"I already did."
As the scent of alcohol grew stronger, the red-haired director, deciding to indulge a little before facing death, grabbed Lyon's hands and smiled.
"When you let him go, I'll have him bring the entire Liu Ming Church here. It won't take long... But you..."
"I can!" Lyon replied, "But not this!"
He grabbed the director's hands and pressed his palms against her, resisting her efforts to pull away. Lyon struggled with her, his teeth clenched, as he negotiated:
"You go get some clear water, and I can turn it into fine wine for you..."
"I want the original brew."
"?!?!"
Goddamn it!
The red-haired director, now throwing caution to the wind, glared at Lyon. "You just said you had feelings for me! Where did this original brew come from?"
"I have feelings for both!"
Seeing Lyon's exceptional strength, the director narrowed her eyes and applied more force, boldly displaying her terrifying ambition.
"Just one sip! One sip!"
...
It seems like it's up to Olivia!
The Serpent Director, who had merged with the entire Liu Ming Church, was overjoyed when he felt the terrifying binding force around him disappear, and his body regained its ability to move.
With ease, he had subdued himself, massacred the Dead Realm's ruler, and made the entire Executioner King's Association fear him. What an impressive feat!
Following the red-haired director's instructions, the Serpent Director dismissed the believers from the Liu Ming Church and then activated the 'Abnormal Regeneration' secret technique of the Serpent Palace, shrinking his body back to a normal human size. He immediately headed towards the royal palace.
Using his 'Compound Eye', he swiftly made his way there.
As he pushed open the doors of the inner palace, he was filled with excitement, only to have his joy frozen upon seeing the entangled pair.
"You said you had a way to deal with him, and this is how you handle it?"
"Let go of me!"
Glancing at the petrified Serpent Director by the door, Lyon, who had a lower Immersion Value than the Red-haired Director, struggled and was overpowered, pinned down by a chair that was now in pieces. He twisted his head to evade while gritting his teeth and snapping, "Let go! Someone's coming!"
"Tsk..."
After a quick glance at the Serpent Director, the Red-haired Director, unable to 'taste the sweetness', sighed and released Lyon, pulling him up from the broken chair.
"..."
You were going to seduce me, and now you're forcing yourself on me?
Seeing their 'moment' interrupted, Olivia and Shi Shen, standing beside her with a grim expression, watched as the Serpent Director opened his mouth, hesitated, and then reluctantly handed them a pair of bone vessels covered in viscous fluid.
"These two Abnormal Artifacts are the core of the Bloodline Exchange Ceremony. The black one is called the 'Valiant Jar', and the water of valor in the Baptismal Pool of the Deephold Sanctuary is formed drop by drop from this vessel.
The white one is called the 'Equitable Urn'. It was originally placed above the Sanctum of the Deephold Sanctuary to condense the Unctuous Ointment of Justice, but it was taken by the Serpent Director before you came here."
In the face of the 'important matter' of the Bloodline Exchange Ceremony, the Red-haired Director finally put aside his desire for Lyon's original essence and explained with a hint of regret, "Our ancestors, the two seated rulers of the East and West Carleva Kingdoms, upon confirming their ascension to the Palace of Observation, each captured a true deity possessing corresponding authority. They created these two artifacts and established the initial churches based on the names and doctrines of those two deities."
Upon hearing this, Lyon's eyebrows lifted slightly as he realized, "So, those two true deities were the Mother of Darkness and the Father of Dawn?"
"Yes!"
The Serpent Director, noticing Lyon's reluctance to take the artifacts due to the sticky fluid on them, quickly retrieved the bone urn and jar, continuing, "The authority of the Mother of Darkness includes darkness, justice, and law, while the Father of Dawn's authority encompasses dawn, valor, and gladiatorial combat. Our ancestors killed them but preserved their churches, establishing them as the state religions of the two kingdoms.
These two artifacts, made from the true deities, can condense the corresponding ointment and water from the beliefs of their followers in justice and valor, granting understanding to the anointed and courage to the baptized."
