When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

Following the Pope's majestic and unquestionable order, the originally quiet and solemn scene suddenly became restless, just like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake.

Thousands of believers moved in unison. Each of them quickly took out their treasured magic wands from their pockets. They waved their arms in the air, drawing strange arcs while muttering something.

The voice was low and vague, as if it came from the underworld. Ordinary people could not hear the meaning contained in it.

The surrounding candle flames shook violently under the stirring of this force, and the candle shadows swayed unsteadily. The dim light was projected on the ancient walls, reflecting the ghostly shadows one after another.

At this moment, a strange purple-red magic circle slowly emerged from the ground like a sleeping giant. Its lines were complex and intertwined, flashing a frightening light.

Located in the center of the altar, the runes engraved on it also lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

At the deepest part of the altar, a huge statue with an octopus head and a human body stands quietly.

At this moment, the eyes of the statue suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, as if it was injected with life and soul, which made people feel fear and awe.

"Pah!" The Pope dropped the scepter in his hand and reached into his arms to feel for something.

A small knife appeared in his hand, and the blade reflected a cold light under the candlelight, which made people shudder.

The Pope held a knife in his hand and walked slowly and steadily towards the poor girl who was being sacrificed. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the fanatics.

At this time, the Pope's face was completely occupied by madness, and he kept muttering: "The stars are about to return to their positions. Great Lord, please come to the world and bring us liberation!"

The sharp blade stabbed the girl fiercely, and just as it was about to touch her

"Boom!" The violent explosion instantly blew a big hole in the cave.

Before the believers could react, three figures slowly walked in from outside.

"Invaders!" the believers shouted

Without waiting for the Pope's order, they quickly tore off their robes and revealed their strange bodies.

Their body proportions are seriously out of balance, their limbs are too long and twisted like dead branches, their fingers are entangled like vines, their joints protrude at weird angles, and every movement is accompanied by a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound.

These deformed creatures, affected by indescribable influences, can no longer be called human beings!

Looking at the aggressive enemy, Kitahara Xiao raised his hand slightly.

The next moment, a tremendous amount of pressure instantly acted on the believers, and their bodies turned into a pool of mud in the blink of an eye.

"No... Impossible!" A trace of panic flashed in the Pope's eyes.

How can it be so strong?

“Nothing is impossible”

Kitahara Xiao's figure quickly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the Pope.

He grabbed the Pope by the neck with one hand and lifted him up

"Any last words?"

"Ahem... ahem!" The Pope smiled unhappily as he watched the sacrifice being moved away by the shadow soldiers.

"Shadow King....You cannot stop the Lord from coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle under Kitahara Xiao's feet, which had been extinguished, suddenly lit up again.

“Ugh…Aaaaaaa——!”

The Pope's eyes rolled back and his face twisted as he screamed in pain.

Then....

"Bang!" He exploded

"....." Kitahara Xiao wiped the blood off his face speechlessly.

"?"

When Kitahara Akira was speechless because of the Pope's self-explosion, he suddenly felt the air around him gradually become sticky and even... solidified?

"@＜";#%&^?0?7＇?2?1??...."

A mysterious and strange whisper, like the whisper of a ghost from the abyss of darkness, suddenly sounded in the depths of Kitahara Akira's mind without any warning.

The sound seemed to have traveled through endless time and space, carrying an indescribable gloomy atmosphere.

However, despite its low sound, it seemed extremely vague, as if shrouded in layers of fog.

However, Kitahara Akira's mental defenses had been tempered and reinforced countless times, and had long been as solid as a rock, unbreakable. The whispers could not affect him at all.

The next moment, the stone floor of the altar beneath his feet softened rapidly, becoming like the sticky mud in a swamp.

He is gradually sinking!

Pools of moist, smelly mud, as if dug out from the depths of the sea, emerged from the ritual array, enveloping Kitahara Xiao's body and pulling him downwards.

Pulled into the dark abyss

"Xiaojun!" Kato Hui was the first to react

She flipped her hand, and the [bloodstained hatchet] immediately appeared in her hand.

Kato Hui used her calves to push hard, and rushed towards Kitahara Akira on the altar like an arrow.

"#&^;?2?1;%@"＜!"

At that moment, an extremely strange and creepy whisper suddenly sounded in Kato Hui's mind without any warning.

Sometimes it was as low as thunder, sometimes as sharp as the cry of a night owl, intermittent, sometimes far away, sometimes near, making her feel a chill running down her spine.

If Kitahara Xiao heard the intermittent broadcast mixed with noise from an old radio, then Kato Megumi heard the 3D surround sound.

"Uh...Ahhh!" Kato Megumi held her head and moaned in pain.

She felt dizzy, and strange scenes of all colors kept flashing before her eyes. The mumbling sounds from all directions stimulated her brain like needles.

"Mei!" Yukinoshita Yukino stretched out her hand and opened a barrier to cover Kato Megumi.

She also heard the whispers, but because of the Mind Gem, she just felt very uncomfortable, not as serious as Kato Megumi.

Kato Hui, who was originally in great pain, suddenly felt relieved. Her plump chest rose and fell rapidly, and a few drops of cold sweat slid down her forehead to the ground.

"Megumi, Yukinoshita!" Kitahara Akira looked at them and said, "I'll leave this to you. I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Kitahara Xiao looked down at the smelly mud that kept trying to drag him into an unknown direction, and a cold feeling gradually spread throughout his body.

Since you want me, then do as you wish!

A huge amount of energy surged instantly. After being covered with the Shadow Armor, Kitahara Xiao rushed directly into the deep darkness according to "Him"'s will.

As Kitahara Akatsuki disappeared, the ritual array dimmed, and the inexplicable fear that weighed on Yukino Yukino and Kato Megumi quickly faded away.

"Gurgle...Gurgle" a sound similar to the crawling of a slime sounded behind the two of them.

The two turned around and saw that the bodies of the thousands of believers who had been crushed into pieces by Kitahara Xiao suddenly began to wriggle and piece together, eventually forming dozens of flesh and blood giants more than ten meters tall.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi looked at each other and took combat stances in tacit agreement.
