GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2380: Normal Sacrifice.

There is even a city in the underground cavern. The city was built around the pyramid. Many people can be seen coming and going in the city.

The temple is also full of people. These people are all worshipers. They are all worshiping the killer.

The killer himself is seated on a large throne in the temple. He is a man with red skin, red eyes, and red hair. Even his fingernails are red.

The man has vertical pupils similar to those of a snake. It was with these vertical pupils that he watched the religious ceremony going before the temple.

He was completely naked, but there was nothing awkward about his lack of clothes. If anything, he only looked more majestic because of the way he exposed himself without a care.

Just outside the temple, a priest was offering a sacrifice to the man on the throne. The priest was wearing only a loincloth around their waist and was wielding a knife. The knife was being used to offer the sacrifice.

The sacrifice itself was a woman. She was naked.

The priests of the temple had tied her down onto a stone slab. So she was both immobile and naked.

The chief priest used the knife to cut into her chest. He pried apart her ribs and cut out her heart, which he then offered to their god.

Throughout the process, the lady on the stone slab didn’t resist or cry out in pain. She had been drugged to a stupor, so she didn’t feel any pain.

She had been drugged so much that the drugs would have killed her if she wasn’t sacrificed. Even if she somehow survived the drug overdose, her mind was unlikely to be the same ever again.

After her heart was taken out, it was burned with fire. Then the chief priest began butchering up the lady.

As this was happening, the people of the city had congregated at the foot of the pyramid and were watching the sacrifice. Some of them were even bowing in worship.

The flesh of the woman was burned in a special fire to create a sweet-smelling odor. As for her blood, it flowed down from the stone slab into the temple and up the throne into the body of the man sitting on the throne.

The blood of the woman was absorbed by the man while he inhaled the sweet smell of her flesh burning in the fire. This was the height of luxury for this man.

The ceremony went on for a long time. During that time, more people were sacrificed to the man. It was not until the man had had enough and told them to stop that the ceremony finally ended.

After the ceremony ended, some priests entered the temple to speak with the man. There were three priests in total.

One of them was a female, while the other two were males. All three of them were scantily clad, and all three of them crawled into the temple on their knees.

None could stand in the presence of the man on the throne without his person. This was the law.

It is also the law that none may get within 10 meters of the throne. This law must be adhered to even if the man isn’t sitting on it.

So the three of them stopped about 11 meters away from the throne. Then they bowed their heads to the ground and remained like that until the man told them otherwise.

They could have remained in that position for hours. Even days were possible. But the man on the throne didn’t want them to stick around for too long.

So he said, “You may speak.”

The man in the middle, who also happens to be the chief priest, was the one who spoke.

He said, “Your divine majesty, news has just arrived of the existence of the descent of an angel of God in the kingdom of Wessex. It is said that this angel descended into the body of a plant, not a human.”

His head was still bowed, and his face was close to the ground as he spoke. This was because he had been given only the permission to speak before the throne, not look at the throne.

The man on the throne became happy when he heard what his chief priest had said. He said to the chief priest, “Very good. You have done well.”

Then he asked, “Anything else?”

The second man spoke, “We have also received news that the demons of justice have set out to kill the new angel and banish them back to the divine kingdom of God.”

This was bad news. It made the man on the throne unhappy.

His good mood soured, and he didn’t like that. So he waved his hand at the man who spoke. A red stream of blood shot out from his hand and decapitated the man.

The priest fell to the ground dead. His blood then flowed from his corpse to the throne. The blood flowed up the throne into the body of the man sitting on the throne.

The blood flowed from the corpse until the corpse dried up. It was when there was no more blood to be had that the man on the throne felt his anger cool.

He said to the priests, “Anything else?”

This time, it was the only woman that spoke. She said, “It has been confirmed that the demons of justice will lose the war with the nobles of the kingdom of Wessex. They are already retreating from the kingdom and withdrawing all of their forces.”

This news put the man on the throne in a good mood again. A smile appeared on his face as he said, “If that is all, you may leave.”

The priest knocked their heads against the floor and then slowly retreated as they did so. They did this with their head still bowed while crawling away. They also made sure to drag away the corpse of the man that had been killed.
