Chapter 2519: An Apology from the Despair Double Sound
I suddenly remembered that these two sisters were not good people. They wanted to suppress the Old Ones Power within them, which was impossible without strong power of their own.
In the past, these two sisters would absorb a lot of vitality every time they killed someone, or when their seals were unstable, they would vent some Outer God’s Power into their Master’s body, and then bury their Master as well.
After following us, they had been very restrained and did not kill people, but their power had been continuously depleted. When they arrived at the Manor, they seemed to have discovered an excellent source of power.
These high-level members of the Plague Church who sealed themselves in statues possessed more powerful strength than the weak Masters of the Despair Double Sound before. They were therefore more resistant to absorption.
Moreover, there was a great formation nurturing the node, containing immense Magic Power. The Despair Double Sound absorbed this Magic Power to their heart’s content through these high-level members, severely replenishing their missing Magic Power.
The fear of living beings was the source of the Undead’s Power. These high-level members of the Church of Suffering had strong wills precisely because they would not easily collapse. Thus, they became excellent fear extractors for the Despair Double Sound, who repeatedly terrified the girls of the Church of Suffering through Nightmares, producing fear that could be recycled.
I was both amused and speechless. these two girls were exploiting a loophole. The willpower of the people from the Church of Suffering was truly tenacious. If they had truly collapsed, their Spirits might have been swallowed by the Music Box, turning them into walking corpses.
“You two have gone too far. Apologize to them quickly and promise not to scare anyone else again,” I said sternly.
The members of the Church of Suffering and the Plague Church heard me and their scalps tingled. Since these two little girls appeared, they had felt cold all over, as if facing a great enemy.
The two girls exuded a chilling and terrifying Magic Power, like a twisted and chaotic void. Even looking at them for a moment longer felt like being dragged into the abyss, and merely listening to another piece of music would make one’s Spirit feel completely chaotic.
Before, they had felt somewhat contemptuous of Shang Yu and the other four high-level members for being so panicked and helpless. It was only when they saw these two girls with their own eyes that they felt that what was said was true. In fact, it was amazing that Shang Yu had not completely collapsed under such an aura; she was too strong.
And their newly acknowledged Master, who could even bark orders at these two terrifying girls, command them to apologize and no longer terrorize others, how did she dare?
What was even more unexpected was that these two little girls nodded. One of them said, “Apologizing is very simple, not impossible.”
“However, without absorbing fear, we cannot suppress the Outer God’s Power,” another girl said to me.
“I told you before that Older Brother can now absorb the Outer God’s Power. As long as you are willing to open your hearts to him, I can help you resolve your troubles,” I said.
“Yes, we did see it. He absorbed the Divine Power of our former Master, Gaspar,” one little girl nodded.
Another little girl continued, “But we are different. The Outer God’s Power in the Music Box is unimaginably vast. It’s hard to guarantee that he won’t go mad after absorbing it.”
“That’s okay, too. As long as Older Brother absorbs a part of it, you will be greatly relieved of pressure, right? And then you will be more at ease,” I suggested.
In my prophetic dream before, I had actually agreed with them. As long as the Outer God’s Power pollution on Gaspar could be resolved, they would believe me and Older Brother Jayad, and hand over Azathoth’s Divine Power to Older Brother to handle.
But after the matter was resolved, the two of them disappeared. They rarely appeared since then, and we could only occasionally see traces of them. Of course, judging from their subsequent actions, they had given up on being enemies with us and tried not to kill people anymore.
But they had not fulfilled their promise to hand over the Divine Power to Older Brother Jayad. I could roughly guess the reason: they still did not trust me, and Azathoth’s Divine Power was both their burden and their last Hole Card.
That was a ticking time bomb. Once released, it was estimated that the surrounding thousand miles would turn into a twisted and terrifying Outer God’s Paradise. Azathoth’s Erosion would completely change the form of existence of all life, turning them into unspeakable Outer God servants.
If all the Divine Power were drawn away by Older Brother Jayad, the Despair Double Sound would lose their means of threatening us. I estimated that they would want to see their father’s corpse and confirm that their regrets were settled before they were willing to hand over Azathoth’s Divine Power to us to resolve.
Upon hearing my proposal, the two little girls exchanged a look, then nodded: “We can accept this plan.”
Firstly, Azathoth’s Divine Power was indeed a huge burden for them, and bearing such Divine Power posed a risk of driving them to madness. Secondly, although drawing away some of the Divine Power would reduce the threat, even if the remaining Divine Power erupted, Genoa would at least be lost.
Another little girl immediately bowed to the five trembling girls: “I’m sorry, we scared you before. It won’t happen again. We are very sorry.”
The surrounding members of the Church of Suffering and the Plague Church looked shocked. She had actually persuaded these two terrifying Female Ghosts to apologize.
“Uh, no, no need to apologize. Just don’t scare me again, that’s all. Thank you,” Shang Yu stammered incoherently.
To be honest, the apology from these two little girls was very stiff, and there was no compensation for what they had done before. But Shang Yu was truly terrified of these two jinxes. As long as these two Female Ghosts didn’t bother her, she would consider herself lucky and wouldn’t care if they offered compensation or not.
“Alright, when Older Brother returns, he will help you absorb the Divine Power. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Also, we need to unseal the other statues. You two wait a moment,” I said.
The Despair Double Sound exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment. I quickly understood what they had done and said with a wry smile, “It seems we need to prepare more Sedative.”
I first gave Shang Yu and the others a Magic Power Potion each to help them recover, and then led them to unseal the other statues.
As I had expected, the Despair Double Sound had already visited every statue. Every girl unsealed from a statue was in despair and crying. Upon seeing the two little girls, they screamed as if they had seen ghosts.
So, as soon as we saw them emerge, we first gave them an injection of Sedative, then explained the reason, stating that the Despair Double Sound would never bother them again, and then had the Despair Double Sound personally apologize to them. Only then could they calm down.
