American Exorcism Male God

"What did you say?" Handon thought he had heard wrong and instinctively asked aloud.

"You kiss a charred corpse! And not a peck, but a deep French kiss," Xu Yi's voice was devoid of any fluctuation.

"This isn't okay, is it?"

Just thinking of that scene made Handon break out in goosebumps.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting the charred corpse's attention, he would have been wailing and holding his head by now.

"Why isn't it okay? Haven't you heard of facing challenges head-on?" Xu Yi replied.

"Isn't there another way? I'd rather stab myself twice!" Handon felt like he was going mad.

"There's no time to consider other options, we must act immediately, think of your daughter!" Xu Yi said urgently, glancing at the Serpent of Finale floating in the air.

As a Remnant Soul, he neither had the strength nor the materials to lay out the Array, fortunately, he had inscribed the Deification Formation on the Serpent of Finale beforehand.

Only by relying on the Deification Formation could they sever the link between Freddie's soul and body.

However, the Deification Formation could only be released once and for a brief period, so they had to move quickly.

Upon hearing about his daughter, Handon, however reluctant, had to face it head-on.

Xu Yi wasn't surprised by this; he knew Handon would agree, as a father's willingness to make sacrifices for his daughter far exceeds imagination.

Handon lunged out fiercely, and the charred corpse couldn't dodge. Without Freddie's soul connection, it was like a robot with a crashed operating system.

The charred corpse was toppled to the ground, but instinctively it locked its arms around the object in front of it and pulled with ferocity.

Handon screamed in agony under the tremendous force; he felt like he was going to be torn in two.

A golden light suddenly appeared on Handon's shoulder, that was Xu Yi activating the Core of Truth.

The Core of Truth, like a small boat, swiftly navigated across Handon's body under Xu Yi's control.

Xu Yi's Soul Split was attached to Handon, and if they separated rashly, it would not only increase the risk of being discovered but also weaken the soul.

So unless it was a very good opportunity, it was best not to separate.

Moreover, if their plan failed, he could still save Handon by a forceful "Descent."

The pain ignited Handon's fighting spirit, he went all in, ignoring his body that felt like it was being squeezed in two, and fiercely "kissed" the charred corpse.

That was more a bite than a kiss. Handon bit down hard on the charred corpse's lower lip, like a wild animal gnawing at its prey.

"Well done!" Xu Yi was exhilarated; he could already sense the passage into Freddie's true body.

His goal for today was simple, to let the Core of Truth lurk within Freddy's original body!

So it was not that he wanted to make things difficult for Handon, but that there was simply no other way.

With their current capabilities, it was impossible to breach the charred corpse's body, so they had to opt for "an illness enters by the mouth."

The golden light streamed into the charred corpse's mouth, but then a freezing cold wind surged.

Xu Yi's soul shook violently, had it not been for the protection of the Core of Truth, the wind would have dispersed his Soul Split just now.

It was unexpected that the "Hell's Wind" of Mine Shaft Zero actually blew from within this charred corpse.

The Core of Truth made no progress in the raging wind, and Xu Yi grew even more anxious.

He had devoured Freddie, but because his own soul was too weak, he could only watch as he was slowly consumed by backlash.

He could manipulate Freddie's memory, misdirect Freddie's actions, but that was already his limit.

To truly control the Domain Soul and annihilate Freddie, they had to approach it from a different angle, and the original body before him was the best way to do so.

This charred corpse was the origin of this dream and also the entity of Freddie; gaining control of this corpse would be akin to having the greatest say in matters.

......

Freddie watched the nearby mine with a sense of urgent panic.

For some reason, he suddenly could not sense the presence of his entity anymore. The entity was not only the source of Amusement City, but it was also the means by which he absorbed the dream ore.

If something went wrong, it would have a very significant impact on him.

The mine was now very close; just then, a thunderous boom erupted from deep within the mine, shaking it violently as numerous plants tumbled down from the mountain.

Freddie rushed towards the source of the explosion, subconsciously assuming that the explosion was where the incident had happened.

This was due to Freddie's human habits, aided by Xu Yi's manipulations.

Xu Yi needed to delay Freddie temporarily, at least to give Handon time to retreat.

The explosion occurred in Mine Shaft Three, and Freddie grabbed a miner who was rushing out of the shaft—covered in soot—ignoring his appearance, he demanded with fury, "What on earth is going on?"

"The batch of engineering bombs that were piled up—they exploded!" the miner replied, trembling intensely.

Freddie spun around abruptly. To others, it appeared that he was talking to thin air, but in Freddie's eyes, he was facing Xu Yi.

"Speak! What exactly has happened here?" Freddie's eyes were fierce.

The engineering bombs were Xu Yi's creation; this event was undeniably connected to Xu Yi.

Although the memories implanted in Freddie had Xu Yi as his friend, for someone like Freddie, once betrayed, he wouldn't hesitate to tear apart even a brother, let alone a friend.

Freddie had guessed correctly, it indeed was Xu Yi's sabotage, but Xu Yi was far from panicked.

"Where is Joseph, the keeper of the bombs?" Xu Yi asked aloud.

The miner couldn't see Xu Yi, but these words came from Freddie's mouth.

If Freddie had a true friend who could have recorded this moment for Freddie to see, he might have realized how peculiar his current situation was, but, alas, that was impossible.

"Joseph... he... ran away!"

The miner, afraid of being implicated, hastened to dissociate himself, "It's really not my fault, I told him not to smoke near the bombs, but he just wouldn't listen!"

Xu Yi sighed deeply, while Freddie's expression was as dark as deep water. To better manage the miners, he had promoted two "confidants"—Joseph was one of them.

Xu Yi had previously suggested that he replace Joseph, but Freddie had not agreed, never imagining it would lead to this kind of accident.

Xu Yi snickered internally; all of it was part of his plan. He had already thoroughly investigated Joseph and knew the man to be an incorrigible smoker.

Expecting a smoker not to smoke was as feasible as expecting no traffic jams during the Spring Festival—an impossible event.

Everyone believed it was the smoker Joseph who carelessly ignited the bombs, Joseph included.@@novelbin@@

But only Xu Yi knew that all this was part of his well-laid scheme. As the creator of the bombs, adding a timing device for detonation was simplicity itself.

To ensure that "witness" Joseph, and the other miners, would survive, Xu Yi even designed a special "explosion warning device" that created a terrifying burst of flame as a special effect, allowing enough time for those nearby to escape.

"Find Joseph for me!"

Freddie demanded furiously, ready to flay Joseph alive.

But the very next second, his expression changed dramatically, and he sprinted towards Mine Shaft Zero.

He had come to check on his entity's condition, so how had he inexplicably ended up handling affairs?

He shook his head, feeling a bit dizzy, suspecting it might have been due to being angered by the messenger of the Lord of the Black Abyss.

And of course, all of this was inseparably connected to Xu Yi.
