"We used to think everything we were doing was right, but it wasn't."

Maria sat back on the chair and closed her eyes.

"You have seen, outsider, the dark and sinful side of the Healing Church. However, the origin of all this still comes from the greed of human nature itself. Those people, they are addicted to the blood of the ancient gods and cannot extricate themselves. They crave for it.

Things that humans should not get..."

"I see."

Fang Zheng put down the book in his hand, and then looked at the woman in front of him. From Maria, Fang Zheng finally learned what happened in Yanan.

According to Maria's description, Fang Zheng finally completed the entire incident.

First of all, Byron Weiss College excavated the ruins of the Sumerian civilization. From the ruins, they learned that the Sumerian civilization used to be the slaves of the old gods, and the Sumerian civilization once tried to inject the blood of the old gods.

To improve their level and become the same gods as the beings they serve.

But the Sumerians failed, which ultimately led to destruction.

Byron Weiss College was attracted by this secret and began to take over the remains of the Sumerian civilization and re-study the secrets of becoming a god. Then they discovered the daughter of the universe Ibitas deep in the Sumerian ruins - a woman who has never left this world.

The ancient god of the world, they brought this ancient god back to Byron Weiss, trying to obtain the secrets of the ancient god through it.

Unfortunately, their experiment also failed. Although at first, the blood of the ancient gods obtained from the Daughter of the Universe did enhance their strength, as more and more blood was injected, the students of Byron Weiss College

Almost without exception, the experimenters mutated, leading to a series of collapses from soul to mind.

Under this situation, Master William decided to stop the research, but his most popular disciple Lawrence was obviously unwilling to stop there, so the two parties broke up on bad terms.

Before Lawrence left, Master William, an old man who relied on his own strength to gain wisdom close to the ancient gods, finally told him the truth. The reason why humans cannot fully become ancient gods is that they lack one thing.

Third umbilical cord.

This is something that only infant ancient gods have. It connects the brain and spiritual vision of the gods. In other words, without the third umbilical cord, no matter how hard humans try to inject the blood of ancient gods, they will not be able to become human beings.

gods.

But Lawrence obviously did not give up. After leaving Byron Weiss, he built the Healing Church and then began to conduct two experiments. On the one hand, Lawrence tried every means to obtain the third umbilical cord. On the other hand, he chose a second different one.

His research route is that he tries to use human beings' own reason to control the beast transformation caused by excessive injection of the blood of the ancient gods. After all, in Lawrence's view, his mentor William can do this, so he

It can definitely be done.

Of course, the latter is just a backup method in Lawrence's opinion. If possible, he still hopes to obtain the third umbilical cord to fulfill his wish to become a god.

Finally, Lawrence's research made great progress. Through the "Holy Grail" excavated from the ruins of Sumer, they successfully contacted the ancient gods who existed outside the void, and tried to conduct a plan called the Blood Moon.

ceremony.

All the superiors have lost their children, and they are all looking for children.

Only filthy divine blood can trigger this mysterious intercourse.

Therefore, in order to allow the ancient gods to have intercourse with humans, so that humans can be pregnant with the children of the ancient gods and obtain the third umbilical cord, Lawrence initiated the ritual of the blood moon. It will attract the ancient gods to the human world and interact with those who possess the filthy blood.

Have intercourse, thereby making the other party pregnant and giving birth to a child.

However, Lawrence's ritual failed.

A Cainhurst tribesman suddenly broke into the ceremony. He killed all the guards and took away the divine blood. As a result, the ceremony failed. After the ceremony failed, the anger of the ancient god covered the entire Old Yharnam, resulting in

The whole of Old Yharnam became a place where monsters were rampant. In desperation, Lawrence had to burn the whole of Old Yharnam to ashes, and at the same time sealed the access between Church Town and Old Yharnam to end it all.

Naturally, the Healing Church would not stop there. After the ritual failed, an angry Lawrence sent a group of executors led by "Martyr Logarius" to Cain Hearst's castle, trying to recapture the Cain Hearst castle.

The divine blood stolen by the Te tribe was also used to take revenge on the entire Cainhurst tribe.

Martyr Logarius never returned, and no one knows what happened.

But Lawrence had no time to care about this matter, because at this time, another split occurred within the Healing Church.

Due to the seizure of the divine blood and the failure of the ritual, Lawrence's desire to seek the third umbilical cord to become a god was almost in vain. Under such circumstances, another school within the Healing Church began to rise - that is, the Manses School.

Their idea is that "there is no need to pray to the ancient gods to complete the ritual, we can create the ancient gods ourselves." Therefore, although Lawrence's blood moon ritual failed, for the Mensis school, they found another opportunity

-That is not to give birth to the son of the ancient god, but to directly create a real god with human hands.

The Mensis School and Lawrence were naturally at odds, so the two parties soon parted ways again. However, Lawrence also developed signs of lycanthropy due to excessive injection of the blood of the ancient gods at this time. He must find a way to obtain the third

Umbilical cord, otherwise, let alone his research, even Lawrence himself might be completely ruined.

And just when Lawrence was in despair, he suddenly learned a piece of news.

There is a small fishing village not far from Yharnan, where the people worship an ancient god named Kos. Not only that, but most importantly, perhaps because of the influence of the blood moon ceremony held by Lawrence before, the man named Kos

The ancient god of Kos is pregnant and is about to give birth to a child! And right now, the Kos believers in the fishing village are preparing to pray to their gods to successfully give birth to the son of God!

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get it!

The ecstatic Lawrence immediately issued an order to the hunter troops, asking them to go to the fishing village, eliminate those monsters, kill Kos, and obtain the unborn baby in Kos's body and its third umbilical cord!

As an excellent hunter, Maria naturally went with him.

At the beginning, the battle against the fishing village went very smoothly, and no one thought there was anything wrong - the fishermen who believed in Kos had long since turned into half-human, half-fish monsters, so in the eyes of the hunters, they were different from the monsters in Yanan.

There is no difference. And there is obviously only one thing these hunters have to do, and that is to kill!

Facing the hunters who were good at fighting, the fishermen in the fishing village were almost defenseless, and the entire battlefield showed a one-sided massacre. The hunters killed the fishermen like chopping melons and vegetables, and then rushed into the cave behind the fishing village.

, where Kos is already on the verge of production.

Any creature is the most vulnerable when pregnant, even the ancient gods are no exception. Facing the wolf-like hunters, Kos struggled to resist, but in the end, she was unable to escape from the clutches of the hunters. The hunters were cruel

He killed Kos, cut open her belly, and took out the unborn child together with the third umbilical cord.

However, no one can escape unscathed after killing the gods, but the hunters who were in ecstasy at the time did not hear the curse and anger of Kos before his death.

"Curse those demons, curse their children, descendants, and descendants, and suffer them forever."

The ecstatic hunters left with their prey. Only Maria stood there, staring at the corpse of Kos in front of her. As a woman, she could feel the pain and anger of Kos before his death. As a hunter, Maria

She could raise the butcher knife to those monsters without mercy, but as a woman, she could not accept the heartbreaking scene before her. People killed a mother and took out her child for their own desires...

…

Maybe it was a mistake for us to come here.

Maria threw her weapon into the well of the fishing village and vowed never to participate in any battle again, but this did not change anything. The curse of Kos had spread. The hunters who participated in hunting her disappeared almost overnight.

, they were mercilessly locked into this nightmare, going crazy and violent, enduring pain and suffering from soul to body.

There was nothing Maria could do about it.

"The curse of Koth has trapped us in this nightmare."

As Maria spoke, she took out an astrology disk from her arms.

"We have no peace while alive, and our souls cannot be liberated after death. We cannot change all of this, because it is all caused by ourselves, but you are different, a stranger, you may be able to relieve all this nightmare.

Let this nightmare end forever."

After saying this, Maria raised the astrological disk in her hand and looked at the huge clock on the wall in front of her. Soon, the huge round clock began to rotate slowly, and then a gap was revealed.

"Come, stranger."

Maria nodded towards Fang Zheng and the big chin beside him.
