Unknown king?

Why would this woman call me that? What does my outfit have to do with a king?

"Where is this?" Su Ziyu asked slowly.

The middle-aged woman in front of him displayed a hint of suspicion, frowning while watching Su Ziyu closely, and cautiously said, "This is the dark chapel."

"A small church serving the Mother of Rebirth—Rosalie."

Mother of Rebirth?

A deity of this world? Sounds like they're quite powerful!

But why haven't I seen any statues?

Su Ziyu's expression showed a hint of doubt. Naturally, he wouldn't completely trust what a source of pollution said, as if he had guessed something. The middle-aged woman gazed at Su Ziyu's clothes, which were covered in dust, as though they had been buried underground for some time. Her eyes flickered with a gleam of greed, and she timidly asked, "Did you just awaken from the grave?"

"Forgot the memories of your past?"

Hearing her words, Su Ziyu silently nodded and said, "Yes."

The greedy gleam in the woman's eyes grew even stronger, even a faint red light appeared in them, and she said eagerly, "It doesn't matter. Worthy guest."

"Please follow me."

"I have a way to help you remember some things from the past."

Having said that, she put down the large pot in her hand, walked over carefully, and then took out a key to open a sealed side door. After pushing the door open and walking inside, she displayed a strange smile and said, "This way. There is a hidden library behind the church, where you can surely remember some things."

The way this woman smiled made one want to chop her down.

But Su Ziyu didn't hesitate at all, he followed directly, as with his current strength he didn't fear traps, moreover, he had left a space beacon outside.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Dim figures huddled in the shadowy church, unlike the wandering undead outside, all knelt before a strange altar, cloaks draping their shriveled forms, seemingly unchanged after countless years, looking like mummies.

They wouldn't proactively attack, appearing as if they could kneel there for an eternity as long as undisturbed.

There were pools of already blackened blood on the ground.

At the center of the altar was a golden basin, now entirely empty, and the steps below were covered with a deep red carpet that had been severely corroded. Numerous mottled stains marked the ground, some boards protruding as if something had emerged from under.

Everything here was eerie, sinister, and dark, instilling a sense of unease.

"Right in front." The woman ahead, despite her large frame, walked without sound.

They passed through a small courtyard.

Su Ziyu noticed a withered tree, but what was alarming was at the top of the tree trunk was a huddled human form, not carved or sculpted, but grown naturally into the outline of a human shell.

Below were two peculiar statues.

They depicted a hunched human silhouette, topped with a bird's head, connected to its back with avian features, extending a pair of wings, resembling a bowing, kneeling figure, as if worshiping some strange deity.

"Could this be the worship of an Evil God?" was the first thought that emerged in Su Ziyu's mind.

His intuition did not sense any danger.

His Sixth Sense did not provide strong intuition either, putting Su Ziyu slightly at ease.

Given his spiritual intuition, even when facing Old Gods, he'd sense danger, so the likelihood of directly encountering an Evil God here was slim.

Soon.

A closed library appeared before his eyes.

The fat woman pushed open the door, bowed, and extended an inviting gesture: "Worthy guest. Please enter. Inside, you will find what you seek."

There's probably something wrong inside.

But Su Ziyu saw numerous bookshelves filled with many books and scattered bones in the corners, already a dull, ashen color.

Su Ziyu slowly walked inside.

No enemies appeared in sight, he casually picked up a book and started flipping through it, soon frowning, as the text recorded some deeply strange and confusing things.

Screech.

The door behind suddenly closed shut.

But Su Ziyu wasn't surprised, he merely placed his hand calmly on the sword handle, quietly anticipating something.

A series of uncertain footsteps echoed.

Accompanied by a faint light, a figure in bizarre clergy attire emerged in Su Ziyu's vision. He wore a hat, hiding his face, showing only withered arms and a longsword shimmering with faint red light.

A faint dripping sound was heard.

The bishop-like figure suddenly lunged forward, moving like a specter, stabbing at Su Ziyu's heart.

Clang!

Su Ziyu directly parried the enemy's attack, then swiftly countered, sliding sideways, within an instant both figures passed by, accompanied by a cracking sound, as the bishop's arm was hacked off completely.

"Was this her trap?" Su Ziyu frowned.

It's somewhat weak.

At that moment, a dark red flame appeared, the enemy summoned a flame while blue and green light flickered in his palm.

Magic as well?

By coincidence.

I also know magic.

A spark of lightning formed in Su Ziyu's palm, accompanied by a faint golden light, Spiritual Lightning hit the enemy first, enveloping his body, rendering him increasingly stiff. The next moment, Su Ziyu was behind him, sword light flashed, and a completely shriveled head was chopped off.

——"Bishop's large soul [refinable]: Refining yields 100 energy points."

No Source Power Value dropped.

Su Ziyu was pleasantly surprised after finding a lump of bright light on this enemy's body, as it was also refinable.

100 energy points.

This enemy's soul was almost equivalent to a formidable demon in the Night Parade of Hundred Demons World.

But it didn't seem too strong, maybe because turning into undead made its movements stiff.

Is this it?

Only one such monster?

Where are ten more?

Let me gather some energy to use the Demon Gourd to refine a batch of 'Jade Dew'!

In the Wasteland World, Su Ziyu hardly encountered anything containing spirituality, having finally found a place where souls dropped directly, he deliberately fell into the trap, why did only this one monster appear?

Seems there's truly nothing more.

Su Ziyu flicked his fingers, the closed door opened automatically.

The fat woman's presence was already absent outside.

However, just as he turned to leave, a bulky figure draped in semi-metal armor appeared before him. She wore a hat, sporting a hefty neck covered in fat, with striped armor wrapping her swollen belly as if oil dripped, wielding a weapon resembling a mortar, and a black leather-covered book in the other hand.

So, she went to get equipment.

Accompanied by a subtle spell, her hand suddenly manifested a swarm of black insects, buzzing forward.

Crackle.

A faint electric arc flickered without Su Ziyu lifting a finger, the black insects fell.

Clash!

Su Ziyu's figure disappeared instantly, reappearing behind the bulky woman. Her neck was slashed open halfway, but surprisingly her head wasn't severed.

No Source Power Value notification.

Not dead yet?

Su Ziyu had just turned, an unexpected sense of danger prompted him to leap away.

Boom.

Unbeknownst when, grotesque black substance emerged from the woman's neck, morphing into a sinister and disgusting creature resembling a rat and snake hybrid.

——"Human Pus [Corruption][Pollution body]!"
