Chapter 165 Planting a Seed for the Evil God
```
Xu Yi walked toward the demonized deformed person, whose life was nearly at an end after being ravaged by the Blood Array.
He drew the Alchemy Revolver and aimed at one of the demonized people, pulling the trigger and piercing the individual's skull.
The Semi-Holy Artifact they snatched fell to the ground. Xu Yi bent down to pick up the now rusty dagger, but suddenly turned his head, warily looking at the dead demonized deformed person.
A familiar aura of the Evil God suddenly descended. Xu Yi originally thought that the target was the Cult's heretics, but it turned out to be focused on the dead deformed people.
The souls of the deformed people were being pulled out as if an invisible thread were tied to them, and now the other end of the thread began to reel them in, taking away the souls of the deformed people.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and it was very covert; Xu Yi hadn't sensed anything unusual when the deformed people died before.
The reason he was able to notice now was because inside the body of the deceased deformed person, there lay a Nest of the Evil God with an observation function.
The Evil God behind the Church of the Ram was intentionally collecting the souls of these murderous maniacs! Xu Yi suddenly had a realization.
What were these souls being collected for?
Without a doubt, it was to enable the successful descent of the Evil God's projection.
If Xu Yi wasn't mistaken, Cursed Items served as a medium, more specifically, a "marker."
The instant the murderous maniacs died, their souls were immediately taken, clearly indicating that the Evil God's "anchor" had long been present in their bodies.
As for what was special about the souls of the murderous maniacs, Xu Yi didn't know yet.
The remaining three deformed people were also close to their limit, emitting dying moans on the ground.
Xu Yi watched them, pondering for a few seconds, then suddenly extended a finger.
Suspended above his finger was something invisible to the naked eye, only the size of a peanut, resembling a black thorn ball, but the thorns were squirming tentacles, shining with a strange light.
Following the successful concoction and usage of the Nest of the Evil God, the next stage of abilities had been unlocked.
The black thorn ball in his hand was the "Soul Stealing Seed," an ability that could be said to be the essence of the "Thieving Evil God."
So far, aside from the unknown "Divine Transition," all the abilities of the Evil God's Entries had been unlocked.
Xu Yi threw the Soul Stealing Seed toward the demonized deformed people. The black thorn ball passed through their bodies and merged into their souls.
He took a deep breath, aimed his gun at the demonized individual, and the bullet penetrated the person's head, splattering brain matter.
An imperceptible aura of the Evil God appeared again, taking away the soul of the deformed person.
Xu Yi clenched his fist, waiting silently, one second, two seconds... Half a minute passed, and nothing happened.
It worked! Xu Yi excitedly pumped his fist.
The Soul Stealing Seed, as the name implies, is for pilfering something, and for an Evil God, what could be worth coveting? Without a doubt, other, stronger gods!
The Entry of Hyper Accelerated Regeneration was stolen from another Evil God by Ratma.
The Soul Stealing Seed might seem similar to Entry Devouring but there is a very big difference between the two. To trigger Entry Devouring, one must first kill the target.
However, the Soul Stealing Seed is different, as it can silently lie dormant in the target's body, waiting for the opportune moment to suddenly rise up and steal the target's power.
At some critical times, the Soul Stealing Seed can also be used as a "Killing Move."
The Great Evil God behind the Church of the Ram is far more powerful than him, and using the Soul Stealing Seed directly would certainly not be successful.
But with the Soul Stealing Seed merged into the soul of the deformed person, it was like an added layer of protection, making it difficult to detect.
The souls of these deformed people were probably intended as "Nutrients."
```
If the Evil God swallows these nutrients containing Soul Stealing Seeds... Xu Yi could not help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Repeating an old trick, Xu Yi implanted the Soul Stealing Seeds into the remaining two demonized deformed people. The creation of the Soul Stealing Seeds was very simple, requiring only a small amount of Power of Faith.
Three Soul Stealing Seeds, carrying Xu Yi's hope, lay hidden within the souls of the demonized deformed people and were taken away by the Evil God of the Church of the Ram.
The more Soul Stealing Seeds planted, the better the effect, of course.

Unfortunately, the souls of these demonized deformed people were too weak. Implanting a single Soul Stealing Seed was already the limit; any more would likely cause their souls to collapse.
The corpse of the deformed person suddenly began to wriggle, and Xu Yi squatted down next to it as four little bugs crawled back into the palm of his hand, curled up, and returned to the form of the Nest of the Evil God.
The Nest of the Evil God could certainly be reused; otherwise, it would only yield eight, which would not be enough.
Xu Yi went over to the heretic's side and was pleasantly surprised to find that the other had not died.
Yes, it was a pleasant surprise!
He took out the Nest of the Evil God and fed it to the heretic. To ensure that the other could survive, he also arranged for an injection of the Leaf of Redemption.
"I hope you don't waste my painstaking efforts!" Xu Yi sighed.
The Observation ability of the Nest of the Evil God could not only be used for experimentation but also as a surveillance device.
Xu Yi looked around to make sure nothing had been missed, then walked back to the bushes and carried Anna, who was sleeping soundly, out. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Xu Yi had already put her to sleep with the fragrance of the Sleeping Flower.
[Entry Devouring initiated, devouring in progress...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Blank Entry "Giant Strength (Common White)"]
The same prompt appeared seven times in a row. Xu Yi felt a bit helpless; he had killed many deformed people but didn't expect that all he devoured were "Giant Strength" Entries.
However, he could understand, after all, besides being strong, those mentally deranged deformed people seemed to have no other advantages.
The sky grew light with the dawn, and the sound of cars once again rose from the forest. Xu Yi drove away from the place with Anna.
......
Queens, New York.
The sharp ring of the phone awoke William from his exhausted slumber on the couch; he rose and walked over to the phone on the office desk.
Because of the Fire Gui Potion, he had recently been living directly in his office.
He picked up the phone and immediately perked up at the voice on the other end.
"A secret basement in the suburbs! Okay, I got it; I'll take care of it right now!" William, without even grabbing his coat from the rack, hurried out the door.
The call he had just received was from Xu Yi, and the tone was very urgent. William was puzzled. What could have happened that made the usually calm Lord of Shadows so eager?
On a suburban highway, Xu Yi drove his Rover at breakneck speed, with a Magic-Prohibiting Box on the passenger seat.
The Magic-Prohibiting Box naturally couldn't be placed inside the Treasure Box; as soon as it was put in, the Magic-Prohibiting Box would compress, but the Bone of Nightmares wouldn't, which was tantamount to directly releasing the Bone of Nightmares.
More than ten minutes earlier, while driving, he had been contemplating how to eliminate the deformed person's soul from the Bone of Nightmares.
Although there was the disruptive influence of the Nest of the Evil God, in order to fully control the Bone of Nightmares, he still needed to clear the deformed person's soul first.
He frowned in deep thought and glanced at the Bone of Nightmares beside him, nearly crushing the steering wheel in shock.
The deformed person's soul had actually dissipated on its own, and worse still, the Bone of Nightmares showed signs of collapse with cracks appearing on its edges.
How could he not be in a rush facing this situation?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon entering a region with signal coverage, he immediately called William.
What do you think?
