Chapter 242 The Mother of All Living Things Arrives
The orc king is tall, strong and powerful.
He sat on his throne, looking expressionlessly at the three women in front of him who were dressed like village women, and sneered, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
The leading woman bent down and smiled, "Of course you can refuse, because you are the king of the orcs."
The Orc King closed his eyes. He just listened to such words. He was not a fool. How could he really believe them?
"As long as we follow your request, can the orcs really get a habitat of our own on this land?"
Knowing clearly that the other party was not trustworthy, the Orc King had no choice but to use this method of self-deception to make himself feel better.
"My king, you should be fully aware of the current situation. Without our help, the orcs would have been wiped out by humans long ago.
Look at the armies outside the city, their powerful weapons, their mighty magic, and how powerless the strong bodies that the orcs are so proud of are in the face of these.
Only a mother can save the orcs and use a small sacrifice to exchange for the final victory. As a king, you should have such courage! "
The woman's tone was still humble, as if she was truly giving advice to the orc king as a subordinate.
The orc king knew that what the godmother of the Church of the Mother of All Beings said was correct.
If there had not been the support of the Church of the Mother of All Life and the Church of Destiny, they would have been wiped out by the human coalition forces long ago with only the Church of the Power of the Wilderness and the orcs.
"Will just one million orcs be enough?"
The Orc King asked hopefully.
"Yes, there are still six million orcs, and there are more than two million orcs in this city. As long as we sacrifice one sixth of them in exchange for the future of the orcs, it is worth it no matter how you look at it. Your god should agree to this request."
The words of the Godmother of All Living Things made the Orc King's expression twisted and angry.
Yes, the gods agreed to this request, but the gods are high above and they are in charge of the orcs' beliefs.
He is the king of the orcs, and he should protect his people, but at this moment, all he can do is send them to death!
Seeing that the Orc King agreed, the three women saluted and then retreated.
The army outside the city was approaching, and some orcs in the city were panicked, while others were extremely angry.
Most of the orcs did not show any fear, and some even threatened to fight to the death with the humans outside the city.
As a naturally bloodthirsty race, the orcs' character allows them to maintain strong combat effectiveness, but at the same time, it makes them completely unwilling to compromise when facing enemies stronger than themselves, and they remain tough.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Orcs were gradually eliminated in the course of history, from a population of hundreds of millions in their heyday to only the last six million today.
Although the population of the elves was already small, the elves judged the situation and chose to relocate the entire tribe, but the orcs chose to fight head-on.
On this day, there were many mysterious hooded figures in the city preparing something in every corner of the city.
The orcs were puzzled and started asking questions.
"The king issued a notice, saying that a certain ritual will be performed. As long as the ritual is successful, we can repel the human army, or even fight back."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. How can you not believe the king's words?"
"I'm not doubting the king, but these people seem to be humans. Humans' words are really untrustworthy."
Although those hooded figures did not reveal their true faces, the orcs knew that they were probably humans and members of a human church.
"Anyway, that's what the king said, so we just have to do it."
The orcs nodded one after another. They might not trust humans, but they trusted their king.
……
In a dark palace, the Godmother of All Beings was looking at a feminine-looking man in front of her. He was Pope Salfo of the Church of Destiny.
"Salfo, according to the agreement, it is your turn to make the contribution."
The Pope of the Church of Destiny stood up straight, crossed his hands in front of him, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a voice that sounded like a man or a woman: "If you want us to make sacrifices, according to the principle of reciprocity, you should also make sacrifices."
The godmother, who was dressed in shabby clothes and looked rustic, said in a gentle tone: "Of course, they are ready to sacrifice."
As she said this, the other two church bishops dressed as peasant girls who followed behind the godmother bowed slightly.
Sarfo continued to look at them with narrowed eyes and sneered: "That is the god you believe in. Of course you are willing to make sacrifices. But, since God also asks me to do this, I have no other choice."
Salfo sighed softly, clapped his hands and said, "Come in."
As he finished speaking, two people, a man and a woman in religious robes, walked in.
The patterns on the two men's robes look like various geometric objects, which can cause visual hallucinations and make people dizzy at a glance.
These two people are the archbishops of the Church of Destiny.
"You two, follow our friends and complete this ritual."
Salfo said this in a gentle tone, as if this was just a small ceremony.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The two archbishops were completely unaware of the problem and bowed in response.
"Then, Godmother, let's go. It's no longer suitable for us to stay here any longer."
Salfo said impatiently.
The two archbishops of the Church of Destiny did not notice the urgency in his words.
The godmother of the Church of All Beings nodded to her two subordinates, and then walked out of the ceremony venue located in the basement of the palace with Salfo.
As the heavy stone door slowly closed, Salfo let out a sigh of relief and said self-deprecatingly, "I hope you don't blame me. This is the will of God."
Inside the underground ceremony venue, the two archbishops of the Church of Destiny had no idea what was about to happen. They urged the two "country girls": "Okay, start what you need us to do."
The two 'village girls' looked at each other and smiled, "Don't worry, my lords."
The two walked to the very center of the ceremony site, where there was a sticky insect egg that looked like a dragon egg.
Seeing the insect egg, the two archbishops of the Church of Destiny felt their heartbeats quicken. They asked hesitantly, "What is this?" The two "country girls" replied, "This is a sacred object of our Church of All Living Things. Lord Salfo asked you to help us complete the ritual and allow the object in the sacred object to be born."
After hearing the other party's explanation, the archbishops of the Church of Destiny did not think there was anything wrong, as there were similar mysterious rituals in their church.
Moreover, as bishops of the Church of Destiny, they possessed a certain ability to see through fate, and fate did not tell them that there was any danger, so they also became bold.
The four people stood in four corners respectively. The two "village girls" had already told the two people from the Destiny Church how to start the ceremony.
As they chanted the ancient spell together, a dark, strange, yet vibrant will gradually emerged from the leaping insect egg.
The will became stronger and stronger. Even the archbishops who taught the destiny of the Eight Rings felt that their brains were starting to wander uncontrollably.
They finally realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the insect eggs. Their expressions changed and they wanted to stop the ceremony, but it was too late.
The two "village girls" suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted enthusiastically: "Mother of all living things, we offer our flesh, blood and soul to you, turning them into the nutrients you need and becoming the cradle for your birth.
All living things will return to their mother's embrace and show their most perfect appearance. This is the meaning of the evolution of all living things!"
As soon as the two "country girls" finished their sacrificial prayers, a sharp insect chirp came out of the insect egg.
Under the horrified gaze of the two archbishops of the Church of Destiny, the insect egg slowly cracked.
There was nothing inside the eggs, as if the creature inside had died.
But at this moment, a strange beating sound rang out in this underground space. It seemed to follow the rhythm of the human heart, forming a strange rhythm.
And right at the very center of the unfolded insect egg, a small crack that looked like a black hole suddenly appeared.
"Squeak————"
The pleasant sound of insects chirping came from the crack, and then two straws stretched out from the hole and went straight into the tops of the heads of the two "country girls"!
The two "country girls" showed happy expressions. They knelt on the ground and let the two straws suck their flesh, blood and souls.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the bodies of the two began to dry up. In just a few seconds, all their life breath was sucked away, and they became two praying mummies.
The Archbishop of the Church of Destiny who saw this struggled hard and shouted in shock and anger: "Salfo, you liar, you bastard! God will not let you go, I will kill you, kill you!"
But no matter how the two struggled or how they vented their anger, they were already oppressed by the will of the Mother of All Living Things.
Their bodies were completely unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as two more straws extended from the 'black hole' and inserted into their crowns, sucking out their flesh, blood, and souls!
Outside the stone gate, Salfo listened to the screams from inside. He shook his head and said, "God will not punish me, because this is what God wants."
Beside him, the godmother's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She raised her hands and cheered, "Mother, you can finally come!"
……
In the orc capital, countless tiny mosquitoes suddenly swarmed in, and the buzzing sound made people's scalps numb.
When the orcs saw the countless mosquitoes, they slapped them with their hands and shouted angrily: "Where did these insects come from? Could it be those humans again?"
Some orcs closed the doors and windows, trying to block out tens of millions of insects.
But these bugs are so small that as long as there is a tiny gap on the edge of the window, they can get in and pounce on the orcs.
"what----"
Suddenly someone screamed in pain. Those tiny mosquitoes actually drilled into their glasses, nostrils, ears and mouths, and then crawled or flew into the orcs' bodies.
The orcs whose bodies were penetrated by these insects all howled in pain.
Under the horrified gaze of the other orcs, the bodies of those orcs whose bodies were penetrated by the bugs began to dry up rapidly, as if all their flesh and blood had been eaten clean by the bugs.
But when the orcs' lives were completely lost and their bodies turned into mummies, the mummies began to grow flesh and blood rapidly again.
The orc mummies began to swell violently, and with a bang, holes appeared on these mummies that were swollen like balloons.
What flowed out of the hole was not blood, but insect-like limbs extending out!
These orcs whose flesh and blood were eaten by mosquitoes turned into terrible insects!
The other orcs who saw this scene ran in all directions in panic, trying to escape from these mosquitoes.
But soon, they were overwhelmed by the insects that covered the sky and the sun, and they were all transformed into hideous insects!
After the orcs' flesh and blood were devoured, their souls were torn into pieces by these insects.
These soul fragments gathered in one direction, and that place was the underground palace where the ceremony had been performed before.
In the ritual venue of the underground palace, the 'black hole' began to expand rapidly. It seemed as if there was some mysterious existence in the black hole, greedily absorbing these soul fragments.
At the same time, those orcs who had turned into insects, like tired birds returning to their nests, ran towards the location of the palace like a tide.
When these insects approached within a certain range of the palace, their bodies exploded, and the corpses of the insects turned into a long river of flesh and blood, also rushing towards the location of the "black hole".
Fragments of flesh, blood and soul poured into the hole at the same time, and a huge, hideous and terrifying insect body was slowly taking shape!
But compared to the hideous giant insect, what is more terrifying is that a will that suppresses everything is descending upon the earth.
……
Far away outside the Orc capital, Deya stood on the top of the hill, watching the advance of the human troops.
Feeling the powerful and incredible will coming, his expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "Let's get out of here!"
Next to Deya, two portals opened, and Master Raymond and Master Ruiyi walked out of them, both of them looking very serious.
"It was the Mother of All Living Things. I don't know what method the Mother of All Living Things used, but She made Her will come down. Raymond, order all the troops to retreat!"
Deya gave the order without thinking.
Raymond nodded, and without saying much, he immediately used a spell to transmit it.
Raymond didn't even need to give orders. The Northern Fleet in the distant sea had already begun to turn its bows when it realized something was wrong, and the airship in the sky also changed direction.
However, it would be more troublesome for human soldiers on the ground to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Deya said with a heavy face: "We must leave here too. It will take some time for the will of the Mother of All Living Things to fully descend. It will be dangerous for us to continue staying here!"
