American Exorcism Male God

```

The sound of the chainsaw howled as the exorcists of the clean-up squad were slaughtered like livestock. Ed's eyes were bloodshot as he roared and lunged at the Chainsaw Killer.

The Holy Artifact Magic Carpet beneath Archbishop Norton suddenly shook violently. He also broke free from the suppression of the Domain, holding the Magic Carpet rolled into a Spear, charging at the killer.

The two of them were repelled time after time, and yet, they kept lunging forward again and again because if they stepped aside, the exorcists behind them would fall to the chainsaw.

Xu Yi struggled to free himself from the restraints, with the Power of Obscurity bursting forth, causing the bonds to loosen for a moment, but that was all. The Fog of Obscurity he controlled was not enough to break free from the Domain.

Ed was pushed back once again, feeling a burning pain on his arm. He had been grazed by the edge of the chainsaw when he failed to dodge in time.

The situation for Archbishop Norton was even worse. His face was pale, and he was drenched with sweat.

Though he could wield a Holy Artifact and had more combat experience, he was quite old, and he didn't possess a special body like the Sacred Body, so he probably couldn't hold on much longer.

Sweat seeped into his eyes, causing a brief sting. Archbishop Norton inwardly cursed, realizing his mistake and dodging instinctively, but it was already too late.

The chainsaw grazed his waist, cutting through the outer flesh, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

Archbishop Norton pressed one hand against the wound, clutching the Magic Carpet Spear with the other, gritting his teeth and holding on as his cassock became soaked with blood.

Both of their situations were perilous. Suddenly, Archbishop Norton bumped Ed out of the way, saving him from a lethal slash. Archbishop Norton roared at Ed, "Run!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ed's pupils were blood-red. He did not heed Archbishop Norton's command but instead gripped his crucifix hammer and charged at the Chainsaw Killer.

The Chainsaw Killer seemed tired of this game. Blood-red mist rose up from his body, sending terror throughout the area.

The chainsaw suddenly changed direction, and the crucifix hammer in Ed's hand was torn away by a massive force; his flesh and blood body was about to face the dreadful chainsaw head-on.

Just then, a purplish-red curtain of air opened up, enveloping the paralyzed exorcists. To their surprise, they found they could move again.

The fury of the exorcists had reached its peak. They each pulled out their trump cards, and a variety of powerfully offensive attacks rained down on the Chainsaw Killer like droplets.

Ed looked toward the center of the red curtain of air, where Xu Yi was located.

"Xu Yi, convincing you to join the squad was truly my best decision!" Ed exclaimed, his face filled with joy.

"Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!" Xu Yi roared.

The Fog of Obscurity couldn't break free from the Domain, but then he remembered Annabelle's Toy Treasure Box. When the Treasure Box was opened, it, too, counted as a kind of Domain.

He only tried it as a last resort, not expecting it to actually succeed.

The two Domains clashed, neutralizing the suppressive Domain of the Chainsaw Killer, allowing the exorcists to regain their mobility.

Unable to face so many exorcists, the Chainsaw Killer quickly became covered in wounds. His powerful presence began to wane, and it seemed he was about to fall.

Xu Yi sensed it was time. He scattered a large cluster of Soul Binding threads, tightly ensnaring the Chainsaw Killer.

The threads continuously tightened, slicing the Chainsaw Killer's body apart, and his soul was compressed into a Soul Jade.

Xu Yi felt the presence of the Evil God on the Soul Jade, and a flicker of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He didn't immediately feed the Soul Jade to Annabelle, as it was not the right moment.

[Entry Devourment activated, devouring…]

[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Chainsaw Master (Common White)"]

[Congratulations on obtaining "Blank Entry: Beastly Body (Green Rare)"]

Xu Yi was somewhat disappointed with the devoured entries.

However, considering that the rite of the Evil God's descent was disrupted and the Chainsaw Killer only inherited a fraction of the Power of the Evil God, he let it go.

Xu Yi surveyed the surroundings; some exorcists were bandaging their wounds, others were silently collecting the bodies on the ground. Although everyone's heart was heavy with sorrow, their faces showed relief.

Xu Yi's brow involuntarily furrowed.

Though the rite of the Evil God's descent was interrupted and the exorcists had put forth their strength, was the resolution of the Evil God's medium too easy?

```

He had encountered the Evil God Ratma and knew just how difficult it was to deal with such beings.

A faint movement stirred in Xu Yi's heart, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

For he felt that after the Bone of Nightmares had devoured the main root of the Blood Orchid, it had finally completed its ascension!

But such good news only delighted him for a moment; his heart remained heavy with concerns.

"What's wrong?" Ed noticed Xu Yi's perturbation and asked softly.

"Don't you think the Evil God was dealt with a bit too easily?" Xu Yi didn't hide his thoughts and spoke directly.

Ed frowned as well, and although he felt that their mission was far from easy, having almost been annihilated, he trusted Xu Yi and quietly started to think.

"Now that you mention it, something does seem off. Weren't there too few heretics guarding the ritual?" Ed said quietly.

No sooner had he spoken than Archbishop Norton summoned them over.

"Archbishop Norton, have you found something?" Xu Yi, seeing the seriousness on Norton's face, asked immediately.

"I also sense something amiss, but we need to move this stone slab to know for sure."

Beneath the broken coffin, a heavy stone slab was covering something. The exorcists worked together to move it aside.

Underneath the slab lay an Array, only two meters in diameter, with densely engraved incantations, leaving almost no space unfilled.

Archbishop Norton squatted next to the Array to inspect it, his face suddenly turning ashen, his hand trembling slightly as he pointed at the Array.

"We've been deceived! This isn't the true site for the descent of the Evil God!"

Shock was evident on the faces of those around him, all except for Xu Yi, who had already sensed something amiss, and not just because the Chainsaw Killer had been disposed of too easily.

A question had been lingering in his mind: what about the souls of those Chainsaw Killers?

The souls of the Chainsaw Killers had been implanted with the Soul Stealing Seed, yet he had never felt its presence.

"But the Array just now was so grand, and the formidable presence of the Evil God couldn't have been faked. How could the descent ritual be a sham?" one of the exorcists said, unwilling to believe what was happening.

"I didn't say the descent ritual was fake," Archbishop Norton explained. "The ritual is divided into two parts: one for energy transmission and another for energy reception. The true medium for the Evil God is elsewhere."

"Then let's destroy this Array right now!" an exorcist blurted out instinctively.

Archbishop Norton shook his head with a sorrowful expression, "Do you know why the Heaven's Crown destroyed the Blood Array yet didn't destroy the Array under the stone slab?"

He spoke sadly, "Because the Array had already been activated, and the true descent ritual might have been completed a day or two ago. That blood-red pillar of light was just a distraction."

Everyone's face turned pale, to think all their efforts had been futile.

Xu Yi silently released his hand from the Alchemy Revolver. If it had been just ten minutes earlier, he might have been able to prevent all this with the Resurrection Coin.

But one or two days ago, he was powerless to help.

"Does this mean there's a traitor among us, that our actions have been exposed?" someone voiced their suspicion.

"Not necessarily! Although our actions were covert, gathering so many people, it's impossible for no word to leak out," Ed quickly said, calming the panicked crowd.

"If the Evil God descended one or two days ago, why haven't we received any message?" someone questioned.

Although mobile phones couldn't be used here, the church possessed special Magic Artifacts for communicating with the outside world.

This reminder jolted the church personnel to their senses, who quickly took out their Magic Artifacts, hoping to contact the church headquarters.

Just then, a magnificent aurora spread from the horizon, glorious and illuminating the dark Land of Ceris.

Upon seeing the beautiful aurora, Godfather Norton's face changed drastically.

"No good! They intend to close the entrance of the Land of Ceris!"
