The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 288 - 281: Eat It, Then Become a God

"What source?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Mr. Deliveryman, do you know of the Tomr civilization?"

Alia said.

"I’ve heard a bit, seems like so kind of lost ancient civilization. Carcarens Academy and you guys went around digging up their ancestral graves, got your hands on quite a few things."

He said.

"...We prefer to call it exploring ancient ruins."

Alia was choked up for a mont.

"Whatever, what then?"

"According to our exploration and research, the Tomr civilization had once developed to an extrely advanced level, whether it was in technology, culture, dical science, or mysticism, they were far beyond the humans of today."

"However, this splendid civilization, during its most prosperous tis, due to a sudden catastrophe, collapsed completely at a rapid pace."

Alia continued.

"Due to Beastification Disease?"

Liu Zheng teased.

"Exactly. Although we have not yet thoroughly researched the chanism of the Beastification Disease, the Beastification Disease in Old Yate is indeed a continuation of that of the Tomr civilization."

Alia nodded gently.

"Hold on, when did the Beastification Disease start to spread in Old Yate?"

He asked.

"Over forty years ago."

Alia replied.

"And when did Carcarens Academy start exploring the Tomr ruins?"

The Blood Healing Church split from Carcarens Academy, so their exploration started later than the academy’s.

"About fifty years ago."

"Heh."

Liu Zheng sneered.

"The Beastification Disease in Old Yate wouldn’t just happen to be what you guys dug up from their graves, bringing out all that filthy stuff, would it?"

Spread the virus first, then use a new virus to cure it, and then use it to seize power, the Blood Healing Church sure knows how to calculate.

This level of ruthlessness is no less than any regi in history.

"No, before Carcarens Academy explored the Tomr ruins, Yate people already had the tradition of going inside to explore; ah, I an, seek adventure. Carcarens Academy’s explorations, by comparison, were more efficient and standardized."

Alia, naturally knowing what he was thinking, shook her head.

"Efficient and standardized ans that your explorations were deeper and more comprehensive, right?"

Liu Zheng was unmoved by her explanation.

"Yes, I can’t deny that Carcarens Academy’s explorations accelerated the spread of the Beastification Disease."

Alia finally admitted, sighing softly.

"You’re not very good at this, Old A, to have been Grand Patriarch for so many years and still have such thin skin."

He spoke in the tone of an old acquaintance.

"If it was , I’d never admit it. I’d just say it was those Yate people who screwed up and brought it out on their own."

Liu Zheng said boldly.

"I was never really suited to be Grand Patriarch in the first place, I just took the position to fulfill my ntor’s last wishes."

Alia said calmly.

"However, you seem quite suitable for it. Are you interested in becoming my successor, Mr. Deliveryman?"

She seed to smile a bit.

"Although Yate is a small place, the dual identity of Grand Patriarch of the Blood Healing Church and Chief Hunter should still be sowhat attractive."

"Plus, part-ti is also an option, as long as you co back regularly to inspect and guide the work of the Church."

Alia said in a tempting tone.

"Forget it, I’m just running my mouth."

If he really were so outsider, he might actually be tempted.

Even with the constraints of tropolis and Bloody Restaurant, he could just apply for an outing every now and then.

Too bad he’s a player; he wouldn’t even stay in tropolis anymore, let alone Yate.

"It seems Mr. Deliveryman truly has a deep love for his holand."

Alia mused.

"Actually... forget it, you can think what you like."

Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

After all, tropolis wasn’t his hotown either, so Alia wasn’t wrong in what she said.

"We’re done with the small talk; let’s discuss the delivery."

He said.

"Of course. Please wait a mont."

Alia raised her hand and made a gesture.

Liu Zheng felt the gaze that had been fixed on him disappear.

During the wait, he took out the Blood Gem he had extracted from Dickens’s body to examine it.

"Na: Super-Large Radial Blood Gem (One-ti use)"

"Type: Item/Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect one: Direct use can restore one’s ’Blood Quality’."

"Effect two: When inlaid in a weapon, it can provide additional effects."

"Note: Did I do sothing wrong? Teacher Albert."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Super-Large? Is there a Giant and Super-Giant type above that?"

Liu Zheng thought with a bizarre expression.

"Is this from that beast, from Dickens?"

Alia seed to sense the aura of the Blood Gem.

"That’s right."

He admitted frankly.

"He went too far."

Feeling the deep and cold-blooded taste, Alia sighed.

Then, she covertly glanced at her palm.

Hadn’t she also walked a far path?

If it weren’t for the power of the Holy Blood, how could Alia still maintain a youthful appearance and energy in her advanced age?

"So, what is the price, Tutor Dickens?"

She spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Alia shook her head.

"Although I don’t know what that beast has to do with you, this is my trophy, and also a necessary item on the procurent list, so it’s not possible to give it to you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Of course, this is all part of the transaction."

Alia nodded, and then fell silent.

After a while, the doors of the main sanctuary were pushed open.

A person clad in a grey robe ca in, carrying a box.

"Great Archbishop Alia, the item you requested has been delivered."

He said.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Alia nodded in response.

The robed person bowed, then backed out of the hall and closed the doors.

Liu Zheng opened the box; inside were three Holy Grails.

He picked up the Holy Grails, and the item descriptions imdiately popped up.

They were nad "Tomr Central Holy Grail," "Tomr Lower Holy Grail," and "Weakened Rum City Holy Grail."

"What about the other items?"

Liu Zheng asked, putting away the Holy Grails.

"The Blood Gem is at the Church Workshop, and I have already sent soone to notify them; you can go directly to collect it. Master Beethoven should also be there waiting for you."

"As for the Divine Son’s Umbilical Cord..."

Alia paused.

"That is a very dangerous item; are you sure you want to take it?"

"Trust , I’ve seen things far more dangerous than that."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

What could be more dangerous than Hell’s Ga?

"Well then, since you insist. I hope you won’t be lured by the unimaginable knowledge and the future."

Alia pressed the chanism again, and the platform that previously held the skull descended, while another rose up.

On the silvery-white silk cloth lay an odd thing.

It looked like the fossil of so species of mollusk, covered with holes but also possessing the texture of living tissue.

"Eat it, and you will beco a god."

A voice suddenly appeared in Liu Zheng’s ears.
