Chapter 114 Talba's "Wonderful Journey" 1
Chapter 114 Talba's "Wonderful Journey" 1
The veins on Peeta's forehead bulged at this moment. As a summoner, he could naturally sense that the power carried by the flesh and blood of those bodyguards was too little, and was totally insufficient to support the next summoning.
The formation left by Zagreus was only to open the sea of faith. He had no intention of caring about the lives of these people. None of the people present were good people. He was the great god of wine, so naturally he intended to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness.
At this time, Peeta's magic power was exhausted, and the magic circle was constantly draining his blood. His already skinny body looked even more hunched, and his head of black hair kept falling out.
"Go on! You haven't summoned your God yet. Have you ever considered that you are not trying hard enough? Since the flesh and blood of mortals won't work, can't you add your own flesh and blood to see your God?"
As the voice appeared, Peeta's body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. He held the statue tightly with both hands, pointing the sharp side directly at his abdomen. By now, his eyes were filled with endless fear and despair, and he kept begging for forgiveness from the person next to him.
But in the next second, his hands suddenly fell down, and the statue immediately pierced into his abdomen.
"Pfft!"
There was no blood splattering because all the spilled blood was absorbed by the statue. Peeta's face was instantly filled with pain and astonishment. Since the sacrifice was to the evil god, the more painful it was, the better. He tried to struggle, but his body was completely out of control. He could only push the statue into his stomach inch by inch while enduring the pain.
Feeling the blood pouring down on it, the statue actually began to tremble slightly, and then it emitted a low humming sound. As the sound grew louder, a dazzling red light suddenly emerged from the statue, illuminating the entire room red.
At this time, Zagros' eyes lit up. Now the summoning ceremony has reached the most important part. As a devout believer of Talba, Peeta's blood sacrifice is not an ordinary sacrifice. He has used the highest standard of sacrifice. The priest himself summoned with his own flesh and blood and soul. Talba must come now.
At this time, the sea of faith was forcibly opened by an invisible force, and Talba's divinity was constantly drawn by the statue in Pita's belly. At this time, the statue looked as if it came alive. Its originally stiff and rigid face became vivid and lifelike, as if a real life was awakening.
Now it is the final step of the sacrifice, and Peeta must give everything he has.
So the limbs and palms behind the statue began to move slowly, as if it had its own consciousness, actively pushing away Peeta's internal organs and constantly crawling towards his heart. Every movement would bring Peeta a piercing pain, but with the protection of divine power he would not die in a short time. The pain sacrificed in the evil god's sacrifice is also something the evil god likes.
Peeta could clearly feel the statue gradually invading his body and even his soul, and the same statue was constantly tearing at his soul.
At this moment, the god Talba, who had completed the summoning ceremony, descended from nothingness into the depths of Peeta's soul.
His figure was tall and evil, emitting a scarlet light all over. Although Talba wanted to crush this ant to death at this moment, he was bound by the contract and could not attack him at all.
Talba stared coldly at Peeta, who was only left with a trace of consciousness. His emotionless voice seemed to come from another world: "Tell me your last wish!"
These words exploded like thunder in the depths of Peeta's soul, and an invisible force also made his soul, which was about to disappear, regain some substance.
But just as Peeta was about to open his mouth to speak, a figure appeared silently behind him, and Zagros stretched out a finger and poked it straight into Peeta's soul.
Peeta's original intention to ask for help suddenly became blurred, and he began to speak nonsense.
"Tell me your wish quickly!" God Talba realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape the moment he saw Zagros, but he was bound by the ritual and could only hope that Peeta would make a wish quickly.
But as Peeta continued to utter strange words, his voice gradually began to change, and finally became the voice of Zagros.
"I hope you can let him touch your soul!" Peeta said mechanically and pointed his finger at Zagros beside him.
"Impossible..." But God Talba immediately refused. The believers' wishes are not unlimited. The wishes they make must not infringe on the rights of the gods themselves, otherwise the gods can directly refuse the sacrifice.
Zagreus had also calculated this step, which was simply a wish that could be fulfilled by Talba in the contract, because it did not literally infringe on Talba's rights.
So even though Talba tried his best to refuse, he still appeared directly in front of Zagros and was forcibly controlled to stretch out his hand.
At this time, Zagros put his hand on it with satisfaction. The moment he touched Talba, the contract between him and Peeta was completed. Talba immediately wanted to shake off his hand and escape into the sea of faith.
But it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Zagros' palm seemed to be touched by his palm. With Talba's soul, he naturally could not shake Zagros and could only be left where he was.
The next second, Talba felt his eyes flash, and the scenery around him changed instantly. He seemed to have traveled through time and space, and suddenly came from Peeta's soul world to the depths of a huge and mysterious palace.
The palace was extremely magnificent, but it was shrouded in endless darkness. Talba looked around and found himself in complete darkness, with only faint glows of netherworld fire flickering on the walls. These netherworld fires were like lively elves, outlining strange lines. As he moved, these lines gradually extended, adding a touch of mystery to the entire space.
Talba was now extremely panicked, as he found that he had lost his divine power and was just like an ordinary person. He didn't know what to do now. All around him, there was only the faint light projected from the walls, and nothingness beyond that.
