Chapter 655 Desire
But in the process, Avis noticed an interesting fact.
The red cup was not simply absorbing Cohen's desires, it was also constantly stimulating and amplifying Cohen's desires, and at the same time emitting a light red mist, which sank into Cohen's body and maintained the operation of all this.
In the real world, as the total amount of mist absorbed increased, Cohen's body began to undergo some changes.
The skin on his face began to crack, and a large number of facial features grew from it. The body uncontrollably proliferated a large amount of purple-red flesh and blood tissue, and densely packed deformed arms stretched out from it, wriggling slightly like seaweed.
If you want to feel more of this world, you need more ears and eyes! If you want to taste more of this world, you need more mouths! If you want to master this world more, you need more arms!
Under Avis's gaze, Cohen gradually changed from his original human form to a terrifying existence that only existed in nightmares. Even just a glance was enough to terrify people and make them unable to sleep.
But even if it became like this, Cohen still slept unaware, and even all the mouths on his body were still curled up crazily.
As if sitting on the throne at the top of the world, looking at the world he had conquered under his feet, laughing silently-
"Will uncontrolled desire eventually turn people into monsters? It's really thought-provoking... Then, let's temporarily name it [Beast of Desire]."
Raising his hand slightly to pull down the black hood, Avis raised his head, and looked at the beast of desire that he had released with his own hands in front of him with his azure eyes, with some amazement.
In his perception, under the effect of the red mist, this beast of desire, which was born from Cohen's first-level body, has broken through the fourth level of its own power and aura, and even has a tendency to continue to break through.
Even he can figure out such a use, then the alien god church that created this cup must have already done more in-depth research on this. What kind of existence do they believe in?
"So now, have you seen enough, everyone?"
He casually flipped open the old secret book and sealed the cup into the pages. Avis slowly turned around, looking at the side of the castle courtyard from under his hood.
There was a golden oak tree about a hundred years old there. The shadow cast by the huge canopy blocked the moonlight, making everything below it in a hazy darkness.
As Avis looked at it, a layer of fluctuating transparent water film suddenly appeared in the air. The next moment, this film broke silently, revealing the group of people behind it.
"Is this also the task assigned to you by the ambassador?"
Staring at the darkness under Avis's hood, Shute asked with cold eyes, and at the same time, he was already alert in his heart, ready to leave with the three people behind him at any time.
He knew very well that the reason for his exposure was probably because when he saw the strange changes of the man on the ground just now, his emotions fluctuated and he accidentally exposed his breath.
"Ambassador? Hehehehe..."
As if he heard some interesting questions, Avis suddenly laughed strangely from under his hood.
After sweeping his eyes over the nervous faces of Roche, Matt, and Alyssa, Avis finally turned back to Shuster.
"If the ambassador you are talking about is the guy with a strange silver-black mask and an eighth-level storm wizard beside him, then I can tell you that this has nothing to do with him. I just asked him to "borrow" this cup."
"He represents more than one marquis of the Gloria Empire. If you kill him, you will only bring yourself big trouble."
Shuster spoke with a serious look, and at the same time secretly tried to take the opportunity to speak to peek at the true face under Avis's hood, but was blocked by a strange force and gained nothing.
"You are right, so I let them go. In order to thank me, he voluntarily gave me this cup as a gift. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
In the face of Shuster's little action, Avis only responded to his question perfunctorily, and was indifferent to his exploration.
"...What exactly do you want to do? What are you summoning?"
After a moment of silence, Shuster decided to continue probing, and at the same time to delay time, secretly preparing to build a super-long-distance group teleportation technique.
"It's just a small experimental accident, don't worry about it."
Glancing at the evil [Beast of Desire] next to him, Avis waved his hand and said lightly.
"You know, there are often various accidents in our experiments as spellcasters, but most of them are safe and controllable, and generally do not affect too much.
Also - don't be so nervous, dear deputy commander, in a sense, our goals are actually partially consistent."
"Do you know my identity?!"
As Avis's voice fell, Shuster's eyes took on a hint of danger, as if he was considering whether to take the risk of fighting Avis.
But Avis made a move, he raised his hand and wiped it in front of his chest, and when his hand was put down, a circular emblem composed of special symbols appeared in front of Shuster and others.
"Are you from the [Ring of Truth]?"
Seeing this symbol, Xu Te felt relieved, but his eyes remained alert.
"How do you prove your identity?"
"Prove your identity? Hehe..."
Hearing this question, Avis laughed again.
"Do you believe it? What does it have to do with me?"
In the face of Shuster's somewhat ugly expression, Avis's tone sank and he issued an ultimatum.
"What's happening here has nothing to do with you, everyone from Starfire, leave. Or take 'your people' and fight a meaningless battle with me before leaving, please."
After saying the last sentence meaningfully, Avis turned back to the [Beast of Desire] and ignored Shuster and his party.
"Sir Shuster, what should we do?"
Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Alyssa asked in a low voice.
"... He is right, let's leave here."
After taking a deep look at Avis's back, Shuster said no more, and directly activated the group teleportation spell that had been prepared, and left quickly with the three of them.
As Avis hinted, he had no confidence to protect the three of them while fighting with Avis.
And Shuster was not only worried about these.
The envoys of the marquises were attacked, and the only ones who could benefit from it were the four major families in the empire. However, as a resistance organization, the [Ring of Truth] was naturally hostile to it and had no reason to help it.
Shute had a vague guess in his heart that the people of the Ring of Truth suddenly intervened in this matter, probably because of the mysterious cult that cooperated with the marquises this time.
"Sir Shute, is that person really the legendary [Ring of Truth]?"
On the way back to the Spark Station, Roche looked at Shute's expression and asked curiously.
"Maybe, it may be, or it may not be."
Looking at the three people, Shute spoke calmly.
"But he was right about one thing. I can't take you to fight him, and he doesn't seem to have much hostility towards us. There is no need to fight meaninglessly."
"The power of that cup feels very evil. I think if we cooperate with the marquises, we should be careful of that weird cult."
At this time, Matt suddenly spoke.
"I will explain your proposal to the leader."
Shute nodded.
