“Homunculus...”
The High Priestess of the Moon Goddess Temple gazed at the bizarre, writhing white creatures before her and couldn’t help but mutter an unfamiliar term.
Homunculus, also known as “Artificial Life Form,” is a concept proposed by the alchemists of the Hermes Cult, symbolizing the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. These beings naturally possess a certain level of consciousness and an almost immortal body, capable of serving humans.
However, because this idea oversteps human boundaries and offends the authority of the gods, even the most radical alchemists within the Hermes Cult dared not attempt it lightly.
Therefore, “Homunculus” was usually regarded as nothing more than a rumor.
In order to unite all the forces they could against the Beast Disaster, the Moon Goddess Temple turned a blind eye to some of the minor actions of the Hermes Sect.
...
Nevertheless, when faced with the reality, the High Priestess realized she had severely underestimated the madness of those Hermes Cult followers.
At that moment, Luo En squinted at the “white wave” made up of artificial life forms in his field of vision, as well as the magic beasts that automatically recognized them as their kin.@@@@
It seemed that Arcadia’s Beast Disaster was most likely related to the Hermes Sect’s experiments with artificial life forms.
And it was definitely tied to Hippomenes!
On one hand, the incantations Hippomenes recited when activating the Typhon Temple and awakening the Aether Dragon seemed similar to the sacred words of the Hermes Sect.
On the other hand, Hippomenes claimed to be a Blood Descendant of Hermes, and the Chief God worshiped by the Hermes Sect—Thrice-Great Hermes—is based on the prototype of Hermes.
Considering the bewildered reaction of those Hermes Cult followers and their dire fates, it’s likely they were kept in the dark, merely pawns to be discarded.
But the forbidden experiments with artificial life, the construction of a flesh and blood temple for the Demon Ancestor Typhon, and the unleashing of the Beast Tide to awaken it... All these major issues would undoubtedly cause great trouble for the head of the Hermes Sect once everything was investigated!
Moreover, factoring in the recent discovery of the Philosopher’s Stone, the Erebus Cult was probably also involved.
Strictly speaking, even the Agriculture God Demeter, and Persephone, Queen of the Underworld cannot be absolved of blame.
The divine war had barely ended, and you’ve already stirred up such a huge mess?
Luo En cursed inwardly and looked back at the battlefield that was once again in a deadlock.
The artificial lives created through the collective sacrifices of the Hermes Cult followers abandoned the human form in pursuit of ultimate destructiveness and combat ability, which made them quite difficult for everyone to handle.
On one hand, the limbs of these monsters could transform into blades and spears, possessing the intuition of the wild and a combat talent akin to killing machines;
On the other hand, their vitality was extremely tenacious. It was hard to kill them by either beheading or dismembering, and the injured could regenerate by absorbing the flesh and blood of corpses around them.
Only by destroying the core could they be killed with a single blow.
But the number of these wretched creatures was in the hundreds, and they were continuously emerging from this activated land as time passed.
As the situation worsened, the Subjugators became increasingly strained.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and boundless darkness spread everywhere, as if the entire world was immersed in an eternal silence.
And the focal point of all these strange changes was the Arcadia Royal City.
Hippomenes? Damn it!
Seeing that no sooner had one problem subsided than another arose, Luo En, through the shimmering light condensed in his palm and looking at the light-shaped cracks that had now reached his face, felt utterly overwhelmed.
At that moment, the twin brothers stepped out from the crowd and spoke solemnly.
“You go ahead, we’ll take care of things here!”
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing to stay behind and hold the line to quell the Beast Disaster.
They had come to put an end to this calamity, and if they returned without making a difference, how could they hold their heads high in front of those mortals?
Watching the exhausted yet spirited figures around him, Luo En nodded slightly. With an empty hand, he drew out a large golden cup from the Magic Circle Diagram and poured the dark red liquid onto the ground, his mouth silently murmuring.
“——The strong and powerful Fire of Light, the mightiest of all Origins, I respectfully offer thee wine and song!”
In an instant, a pulsating golden flame ignited on the ground, like a lamp dispelling the cold and lighting the darkness, warming hearts and sweeping away negative emotions, as boundless courage erupted from within them.
At the same time, bathed in this luminance, it was as if everyone had drunk a hearty cup of wine, their blood pumped vigorously, and their depleted Divine Power was rekindled.
Upon seeing this, the Holy Saint Polymnus seemed to realize something and looked at Luo En with eyes full of fervor and devotion. With boundless boldness, he turned to face the Beast Tide surging from the fissure and sang out loud.
“Our blood is thicker than water!”
“Our bloodlines are connected!”
The followers of the Dionysian Sect responded with loud voices, stepping forward together, embarking on a new round of resistance.
“Helen, we entrust this to you!”
The twin brothers left behind a grave request, leading the assembled Divine Blood warriors towards the battlefield.
Luo En watched their backs, nodded earnestly, and then, grabbing Atalanta, spread the Golden Wings on his back, and flew towards the stormy Arcadia Royal City.
Bang bang bang bang!
Along the way, the ground cracked layer by layer; dark red streams seemed to seep out from the Abyss itself, flooding houses and streets and gradually collecting into pools large and small. In the red mud aglow with bluish phosphorescence, hundreds of stark white skeletons rose from the earth, their hollow eyes filled with a chilling and tyrannical air.
The entirety of Arcadia appeared to be descending into the Netherworld.
