The so-called sacrifice is actually a live human sacrifice.
Or, to be more precise, the sacrifice of the life of a being of the sa species as the sacrificer.
Life sacrifice is not only limited to Evil Gods; it also exists among True Gods. So clergy, when activating certain special Divine Arts, often sacrifice their own soul and life.
After all, although Soul Power and life power are not as high-ranked as Divine Power, they are one of the origin powers of the world and can be directly absorbed and utilized by the Divine.
However, True Gods possess rationality and a sense of rules, whereas Evil Gods are often obsessive and mad.
Many True Gods disdain the thod of life sacrifice as a ans of killing the chicken to get the eggs, but for the Evil Gods, it’s the easiest way to please them.
After all... what Evil Gods love to see most is the massacre and chaotic slaughter among living beings.
Through life sacrifice, they can not only obtain feedback from one of the world’s origin powers, life force, but also gain imnse pleasure from the fear and despair of the sacrifice.
Moreover, the more robust the life force of the sacrifice, the better. Ideally, they should be powerful Transcendents, making it easier to gain the response of Evil Gods.
With Otto’s command, the High Priest quickly brought seven professionals, each possessing at least silver-level strength.
Each of them was tightly bound by the Magic Forbidden Rope, their gazes towards Otto still filled with anger.
War always captures so prisoners and so rebels dissatisfied with the rule.
This is the origin of these people.
As sacrifices for the Divine, they were the best choice for Otto.
Entering the main tent, temporarily set up at the military garrison, Otto cleared out everyone else, then once again ordered the High Priest and the accompanying ordinary priests:
"You can proceed now, conduct the sacrifice."
The High Priest repeatedly nodded, using prepared materials to draw a large Magic Array with grooves on the ground, taking up about two-thirds of the entire main tent.
Then, he ordered the seven bound professionals to be placed on the sacrificial array, and under their terrified eyes, they were each slaughtered one by one.
In an instant, blood gushed, quickly soaking into the Magic Array on the ground.
As the blood flowed into the grooves of the array, a dark red glow gradually gathered on it.
Seeing the array emit light, Otto’s eyes flickered slightly.
"Alright, you may leave now,"
he said to the High Priest.
The High Priest opened his mouth, his expression sowhat awkward, but ultimately he offered a slight bow and led the other priests away obediently.
Not long after the High Priest left, the glow on the array intensified, and suddenly a violet-black smoke rose, forming into a gigantic, illusory face in the air...
The blurry giant face looked at Otto, standing on the ground, and a voice, hard to distinguish as male or female, sounded:
"Otto, didn’t I tell you not to disturb recently?"
As the words were spoken, a formidable pressure bore down sharply, directly towards Otto.
Otto’s face turned pale, and he instinctively fell to his knees.
Only, his expression still showed no fear, as he calmly said:
"Lord Anos, is this what you call cooperation?"
The pressure suddenly dissipated, and a mocking expression appeared on the indistinct features of the giant face:
"Otto, if this were twenty thousand years ago, a disrespectful guy like you, I would definitely make him regret coming to this world."
"If not for the fact that you’re a descendant of Gai, you’d already be dead, and the entire Fengye Territory would be destroyed!"
Seeing the giant face’s indifferent expression, Otto stood up, dusted off his clothes, and smiled slightly:
"But if I were to die, your plan to quickly regain strength would be delayed, right? And you would also lose a potential ally in the future."
Seeing Otto’s confident expression, the giant face said coldly:
"Otto, are all you vampires so confident?"
"Don’t think that just because you got the ancestor’s divine persona with the help of Nidhogg, you can beco another blood clan ancestor; Gai’s Divine Position ultimately has a fatal flaw."
"Without obtaining the Death Divine Position, even if you beco an ancestor, you will just be a worthless being with weak Divine Power."
"Besides, if the current Death God knows Gai’s Divine Position is with you, I’m curious whether you can still see the sun tomorrow..."
Listening to the giant face’s cold sarcasm, Otto smiled faintly:
"You won’t, now that only you remain among the Titans, you need allies."
"Allies? Haha, I never needed such things... Speak, what is it that you summoned for without properly helping to spread my faith?"
The giant face asked indifferently.
Otto’s expression beca serious, and he replied:
"Lord Anos, I’m in trouble; the Elf Clan has joined the war."
"The Elf Clan, those long-eared ones you ntioned before created by Yggdrasil? Hmm, the last few you sacrificed tasted pretty good; if there are more in the future, feel free to sacrifice more to ."
The giant face said with relish.
Otto’s expression stalled, then he sighed:
"Lord Anos, don’t underestimate those elves; they are the elves of the Elf Forest, completely different from the ones you t in Fengye Territory. They are not only inherently belligerent but also incredibly cunning, opposite to the traditional elf nature. At the sa ti... they are favored by the Goddess of Life, capable of resurrection."
