American Exorcism Male God

North of Rome, Spolaro.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes, everything before him was blurred, and a woman's face came close to his, her face was flawless, bathed in a warm glow.

Had he died and gone to heaven, and the figure before him was an angelic sister?

Xu Yi was somewhat astonished, since when had heaven's perks become so good? This angelic sister was a bit too pretty!

He felt a softness against his lips, and then a strong rush of air into his mouth. His throat itched, and Xu Yi coughed violently, expelling the water from his lungs.

No! He had a Resurrection Coin!

Even if he were dead, he should be entering the Resurrection Space, not heaven.

The intense coughing brought Xu Yi to his senses, and memories started flooding back into his mind.

He remembered, he should be in the Land of Ceris right now, so where was this?

Xu Yi suddenly sat up, pushing the girl in front of him away. The girl was indeed beautiful; anyone who saw her would be dazzled.

But he sensed a demon aura on her.

He reached for his waist, only to find nothing there. The Alchemical Revolver Messiah and the Annabelle doll were gone!

A young man happened to pass by and saw the girl fallen on the grass. He hurriedly walked up and helped her up, "Carlyle, are you alright?"

The girl named Carlyle, after staring blankly at Xu Yi for a moment, silently stood up.

She was soaked to the bone, and a chill wind made her shiver uncontrollably. Hugging herself, she lowered her head and walked on.

Xu Yi looked around; behind him was a vast lake, and his clothes were also wet from the lake.

He gradually realized that the girl wasn't performing some evil ritual; she had found him floating on the lake, jumped in to rescue him, and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The demon aura on her was faint, indicating she had only encountered a demon, and wasn't one herself.

But Xu Yi had just awoken, his brain was still in a fog, and all his actions were subconscious. He hadn't expected to react so excessively and scare her.

Xu Yi realized this and wanted to apologize, but unfortunately, she was already far away.

"What exactly happened afterward? What's the condition of the Samurai Armor now? Was it discovered by the people of New York City Hall?"

His mind was filled with questions, and he instinctively tried to connect with the Ghost Samurai to assess the situation, but a sharp pain in his head forced him to stop the connection immediately.

First came the "Wailing Storm" from the Evil God, then the forceful connection to the Ghost Samurai that drove that terrifying flame power.

His soul had sustained no small injury, which was why he had remained unconscious for so long.

There was something poking against his chest. He took it out and saw it was a metal card with a message from Ed.

Understanding the whole story, he prepared to call Ed to report his safety.

A gust of cold wind made Xu Yi shiver.

Though his body had been transformed by the Fog of Obscurity, his soul was wounded and had been soaking in the water for so long that he was already weak.

His stomach rumbled. Xu Yi realized that rather than announcing his safety, what he needed more urgently was to find a hotel, take a hot bath, and fill his belly.

......

Kennato Hotel.

Carlyle had tossed and turned for a long time before she finally drifted off to sleep. In her drowsy state, she thought she heard the sound of the door opening.

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and she just couldn't pry them open; her body was also immobile.

Through the dimness, she sensed someone at the side of the bed.

There were indeed two people standing by the bed, an old male servant and a dressed-up nobleman.

"Natalie!" the man gazed at Carlyle with obsession, yet he called out another name.

The man leaned down, intending to kiss Carlyle.

Just at that moment, a shadow flew in through the open window and hit the man directly in the face, thwarting his plan to kiss Carlyle.

Carlyle suddenly woke with a start, sitting up in bed to find no one beside her, just an apple with a few bites taken out of it.

Realizing something, Carlyle ran barefoot to the window, where a somewhat familiar figure was sitting on a bench in the hotel courtyard, munching on an apple.

She wanted to greet him, but a rich scent of flowers suddenly enveloped her, and Carlyle's pupils turned dull.

"So impatient to begin, are you?" Xu Yi murmured softly as he sat on the bench.

He had already spoken to Ed on the phone and decided on their next steps.

But Carlyle had saved him, and he certainly couldn't just walk away, at least not without dealing with the demon that was haunting her.

The night was deep; Carlyle appeared at the hotel entrance, where a vintage car had long been waiting for her. Carlyle got into the car, which slowly started moving, with Xu Yi leisurely following behind.

Brucunto Theater.

Tonight, the ancient theater was ablaze with lights, with a ballet drama being performed on stage—an adaptation of Swan Lake, and the audience filled the seats, their attire and decorations extremely retro.

The audience's pupils turned red, their excitement growing, for the climax of the drama was imminent!

Carlyle, playing the White Swan, danced upon the stage, so beautiful and captivating, but this beauty was about to become a thing of the past. The demonized incarnation playing the Black Swan would soon plunge the dagger in her hand straight through Carlyle's heart.

When that happened, the demonic sacrificial ritual would be completed, and the Ferocious Spirits imprisoned here would be released.

Just as the dagger was about to land, the demonized incarnation of the Black Swan suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

The Ferocious Spirits were stunned, uncertain of what had just happened.

At that moment, applause and a man's magnetic voice came from the grandstand above, "Bravo! Truly spectacular! It's rare to witness such a marvelous performance; I simply must add to the excitement!"

The Ferocious Spirits opened their mouths wide, their eyes unable to hide their terror.

The man held a huge Black Swan in his hands—one as tall as a man, the very demon that had imprisoned them!

Xu Yi looked down at the reaction below, quite pleased with himself.

It was no trouble at all for him to sneak into the theater, find the demon living beneath it, and deal with the "Lesser Demons" controlling the place. With his current strength, handling such minor demons was straightforward.

The Fog of Obscurity in his hand erupted, and with one grip, Xu Yi crushed the neck of the Black Swan and casually tossed its body aside.

"No!" The Ferocious Spirits let out a piercing roar, unable to escape their fate of being reduced to ash.

The demon had imprisoned them, and it was also the source of their souls. Once the demon perished, they too would be immediately annihilated.

Xu Yi, however, paid no attention to the Ferocious Spirits below; he quietly looked at the blood of the Black Swan in his hand.

[Ability "Blood Scent" activated, mystery blood information retrieval complete.]

[Blood of the Black Swan, "Quality: e", "Fusion Success Rate: 75%", "Promotion Potential: Blue Common".]

These details came from the new Entries ability Xu Yi had recently obtained after devouring it from the Evil God Michael.

[Blood Throne: (Blue Common—Red Epic)

Stage 1—Blood Scent:

When close enough, you can sense the information of mysterious blood traces including "Quality", "Fusion Success Rate", and "Promotion Potential".

Stage 2—Blood Fusion Ascension:

You can merge with any mysterious blood, and your body will ascend to the "Divine Tier". The higher the quality of the blood, the higher the level the Entries can reach.

(ps1—Failure Immunity: If the fusion fails, you will not die of bodily collapse.)

(ps2—Dignity Salvage: If the fusion fails, you will randomly draw a body strengthening effect of the "Blue Common" level.)

(ps3—Prime Posture: If the fusion is successful, you can be immune to all negative effects of mysterious blood.)]

It was Xu Yi's first encounter with an Entry whose levels varied so greatly.

At the sight of the Entry information, Xu Yi could hardly contain his excitement—the Entry could potentially reach the highest "Red Epic" level!

Keep in mind that Hyper Accelerated Regeneration and the Authority of the Evil God were only of "Red Common" level.

The higher level the Entry, the more earthshattering the change every time its Quality level went up.

"Rare Quality" was almost three times stronger than "Common Quality".

If you compared "White Entry" level to ordinary employees, then "Red Entry" level would be like billionaires.

If an ordinary employee's salary tripled, it would mean a few thousand more, but what if a billionaire's wealth tripled?

The potential of the Blood Throne to reach the "Red Epic" level was extraordinarily dominating!
