187: Chapter 187 Uneasy Ronaldo

After retracting the space created by the divine ability "Mediating Creation" and the amusement facilities produced by "Mechanical Scourge," Lin Sheng left the temporary playground with Yeros.

He led Yeros through the edge of the starfield, searching for the remaining Saints.

This process was very smooth for Lin Sheng; after all, he only needed to activate "Omniscience."

But for Yeros, this process was like a form of torture.

After all, there was more than one Cursed Seven Saint; five of the Seven Saints had been cursed by the "Lord of Nightmares" and the "Evil Lord of the Dark Abyss."

Of these two Old Ones, one was famous for nightmare abilities, while the other was known for creating chaos.

The devastation they wrought upon the mental realm was absolutely not something a mortal could endure.

Except for one other Saint who had also suffered the curse of the "lord of the spirit remains" and managed to survive by luck, none of the other four survived.

Yeros's originally good mood became exceptionally gloomy because of this.

The last living Saint looked like an old woman; her original appearance had been that of a young girl, but due to the curse, she could no longer maintain it.

Even with Yeros using her divine power to help repair it, it was to no avail.

Finally, Yeros brought the old woman back to the Central Cathedral, and Lin Sheng followed along.

He still remembered the conversation he had with the Holy Crown Exalted Lord back in the Deep Realm.

The other party's meaning at the time was that after these curses were broken, the Ximi Starfield would head toward destruction.

During this time, Lin Sheng also felt something; a sense of oppression filled this starfield.

Ordinary people might not feel it, but an existence at Lin Sheng's level felt it with extreme clarity.

Yeros perhaps felt this atmosphere as well, as she had appeared somewhat anxious and uneasy lately.

After finding the last Saint, she returned to the Central Cathedral directly without stopping.

...

In the days since Lin Sheng left, Rona had been watching the shop at home.

Although there wasn't much in the shop, Rona never grew tired of minding it.

During the time Rona was minding the shop, Yisa had also come to find him several times, but since that previous incident, Yisa had hidden her admiration for Rona in her heart, no longer letting it show on her face.

Yisa's visits this time were basically to ask Rona about some problems she encountered on the path of transcendence; Rona did not refuse to answer them.

Answering these questions was just a casual matter for Rona.

On this day, Rona was spacing out in the shop as usual.

He looked toward the shop of the meat-selling middle-aged woman next door, his gaze somewhat vacant.

"Auntie Elsie, give me a pound of elf meat."

Yisa greeted the woman selling meat in the shop with a smile, but the words she spoke were chilling.

However, that woman named "Elsie" didn't seem to notice anything abnormal.

She welcomed Yisa with a chuckle while searching through the chunks of meat in front of her for the "elf meat" Yisa needed.

After searching for a long time, Elsie seemed to realize that she didn't seem to have any elf meat here.

She looked at Yisa with a slight apology and spoke sheepishly:

"Sorry, little Yisa, it seems Auntie doesn't have the meat you want anymore."

"But you can wait a moment, Auntie will go find the meat for you right now."

Hearing this, Yisa nodded.

"Auntie, be quick, I still need to rush home to cook."

Hearing Yisa say that, Elsie's movements couldn't help but quicken a bit.

She stepped out from behind the table where the fresh meat was displayed, carrying a large cleaver as she walked toward Yisa.

Yisa didn't realize anything was wrong with Elsie's actions.

She just watched Elsie's every move with a smile, seemingly happy that she would soon be able to eat "elf meat."

*Squelch.*

*Crunch.*

*Crunch.*

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh suddenly rang out in the air, followed by several hacking sounds.

After finishing this, Elsie simply wiped the blood off the knife, then dismembered the newly obtained elf meat and laid it out on the table.

"Yisa, the elf meat you wanted is ready."

"Eh? Yisa? Where did you go, little girl?"

After preparing a pound of elf meat, Elsie wrapped the meat up, but she looked around and no longer saw Yisa's figure.

"That's really strange."

Elsie muttered to herself, not thinking much of it.

Just then, several figures burst through the door. Seeing the residual blood on the ground and that elf head on the chopping block, the pupils of the leading Church Priest couldn't help but shrink.

"She has been corrupted; take her down immediately."

The leading priest dared not be careless and directly ordered for Elsie to be seized.

At this moment, Elsie was still unaware that she had been corrupted. When the priests surrounded her, she hurriedly spoke, trying to defend herself:

"Lord Priest, you can't just arrest people randomly."

"I was just finding some meat for Miss Yisa, how could that be defined as corruption?"

Although Elsie was flustered and confused, she did not resist when faced with the arrest by the Church personnel.

And just then, Yisa's head, which she had placed on the chopping block, also suddenly spoke:

"My Lord, I can testify for Auntie Elsie."

"Auntie Elsie was just finding the meat I needed for me; she hasn't been corrupted."

Looking at that head on the chopping block that suddenly spoke, several priests felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

The leading priest tightly gripped the information talisman in his hand; at this moment, only this item touched by divine power could bring him a sliver of security.

"Take them both away."

The priest ordered, taking away Elsie and Yisa's head without hesitation.

...

*Sigh.*

Having witnessed the entire process of Yisa's corruption with his own eyes, Rona couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This mortal who delusionally wanted to become a god had ultimately fallen to corruption.

Thinking of corruption, Rona also felt a bit of trepidation.

After Lin Sheng left, a sliver of unease had crept into his heart.

The longer Lin Sheng was gone, the more obvious this unease became.

By now, Rona felt uncomfortable all over.

He already planned to leave this place.

Only by returning to Lin Sheng's side could he find that long-lost sense of security.
