American Exorcism Male God

Ed ascended the steps one by one, focusing intently and holding his breath, not daring to move too quickly for he needed to control the restless power within him.

It wasn't that he was intentionally playing the diva or trying to pull off some hero's grand last-minute entrance—he had been anxious to arrive, but circumstances had prevented it.

In order to confront the Evil God, he had to receive a baptism from a cardinal in the church, which lasted a full day and night.

As soon as the baptism was completed, he had rushed to his car, eager to get here.

Ed gazed at the Annabelle doll floating in midair and took a deep breath.

He hadn't used this power in a long time because the preliminary preparations were excessively cumbersome, and it had severe aftereffects.

He remembered the last time he had used it was against a great demon that could have destroyed the entire town.

Xu Yi and Father Bonne instinctively stepped back a few paces, because the aura emanating from Ed was too overpowering and they needed to avoid its edge.

Under the perception of his Spiritual Power, Ed seemed like a ball of fire radiating brilliant light, his body containing astonishing energy.

So this is the face that the church has put forward?

It should be said, he truly stands out as the church's chosen one; if Xu Yi could see the entries on Ed, there would likely be Red Entries, perhaps even more than one.

In the church, Ed is probably seen like a "Son of God" or something of that sort.

Ever since Ed had arrived, the Annabelle doll had been staring at him, sensing a threat from his presence.

Ed took big strides towards Annabelle, and the exorcist priests in front made way for him.

Xu Yi found a sofa and casually sat down on it.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a bar of chocolate, unwrapped it and started eating.

He didn't know when he had started the habit of carrying chocolate with him all the time, perhaps it was related to his confrontation with Mary Shaw.

The bitter-sweetness of the chocolate not only soothed his mood but also replenished his body's energy.

Father Bonne's eyes widened as he looked at Xu Yi, wondering whether it was really okay for someone to casually sit and eat while an intense exorcism was taking place.

"Want a piece?" Xu Yi offered the chocolate to Father Bonne.

Father Bonne shook his head, his mouth still tasting like metallic blood—how could he possibly eat anything, especially when his heart wasn't as large as Xu Yi's.

He sincerely admired Xu Yi's composure.

Xu Yi quietly munched on his chocolate, turning into a spectator.

After learning that Annabelle was a scheme of the Ram Cult, he had completely dismissed the idea of a head-on confrontation.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

As a "rookie" in the Exorcism World, he saw no need to bear the burden himself, especially since the Ram Cult was an enemy of the church, not his own.

There was no reason for him to wipe the church's bottom.

So he decisively contacted Ed, explaining the interests at stake... of course, he exaggerated "just a tiny bit" in his statement.

But as it turned out, he had underestimated the terror of the Evil God; the situation was even more troublesome than he had described.

"I wonder if Ed will be able to handle the Evil God?" Xu Yi was very worried.

It wasn't that he was overwhelmed by Ed's imperious demeanor, but purely because of Annabelle.

If Ed couldn't deal with the demon inside the doll, how would he acquire this "super puppet"?

Ed took off the necklace around his neck.

It appeared to be an ordinary silver cross necklace, but Xu Yi knew well that as the sole Exorcism Artifact Ed carried, it was far from simple.

Ed held a cross necklace in his left hand and cradled the Holy Bible in his right as he slowly approached the Annabelle doll.

The force field surrounding the doll could crush steel, yet when Ed stepped into it, he was unaffected.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He prayed devoutly, his voice not loud, blending into the crowd of exorcists and insignificant like a drop of water falling into the ocean. Yet that very drop caused a monstrous wave to rise.

The entire space trembled, and the Annabelle doll's head bent down under the strain, as if bowing to the image of Jesus.

Xu Yi suddenly had a bad premonition. He did not know which Evil God was behind Annabelle, but all Evil Gods, undoubtedly, carried extreme pride.

Was Ed actually expecting an Evil God to bow to him now?

Dense black fog billowed from Annabelle, and the exquisite patterns in her bloody eyes began to spin.

Ed couldn't look away, and could only meet the Evil God's gaze.

An immense pressure suddenly descended, and the world before Ed's eyes fragmented in an instant. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his skin split open, and fine streams of blood flowed out.

"Even Ed, who possesses a Sacred Body, almost couldn't withstand it!" Xu Yi inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement.

He also felt lucky for his own decisiveness, grateful that he had tossed the ball back to Ed. Otherwise, he might be the one facing the Power of the Evil God now.

The blood Ed spat out happened to land on the cross necklace, which rapidly absorbed the blood, causing the Jesus Cross to burst forth with a dazzling white light.

Bearing the severe pain in his body, Ed stared at the Annabelle doll with a solemn expression.

He extended the blood-stained cross towards Annabelle, whose pupils flared with a blood-red light as intense as a volcanic eruption.

In a daze, Xu Yi heard the roars of countless Fierce Beasts, a powerful impact hitting him head-on.

Ed bore the brunt, his blood flowing even faster. His face was smeared with blood, but his eyes remained firm and bright.

He chanted loudly, his voice thunderous, "In the name of God, I command you to leave this world!"

Xu Yi's gaze suddenly shifted to the image of Jesus on the third floor, and his heart skipped a beat.

Ed's gaze was the same as the Jesus on the cross, and in that moment, Xu Yi had an illusion... Ed and the image of Jesus on the icon merged into one!

Ed forcefully pressed the cross onto the forehead of Annabelle, precisely where the mark of the Evil God was.

When the Jesus Cross touched the Evil God's mark, it was like fire meeting solid ice, hissing and sending up plumes of white smoke.

Xu Yi heard a scream, a cry laden with towering rage.

But he suddenly smiled... The reason the Evil God was angry was that it had run out of options.

After all, it was only a fraction of the Evil God's power, and the actual entity might still be slumbering. It was only natural for it to be no match for the "Son of God" of the Church.

The Evil God's mark on the doll's forehead was erased, and the suffocating oppressive force dissipated accordingly. Xu Yi instantly perked up, leaping from the sofa.

He pulled out an exquisite metal box and opened it to reveal six neatly arranged bullets.

Xu Yi emptied the chamber of his Alchemy Revolver and pressed in the new bullets one by one.

Previously, the Evil Spirit Janice was devoured by the Demon behind the doll, costing him a chance to absorb a Red Entry.

Now the opportunity had arrived! A chance to harvest!

He fixed his gaze on the Annabelle doll, his eyes growing brighter.

This situation was like a boss just having decimated an elite team, with only a sliver of health left, and you were right there next to it.

Or after a team battle where all five of the enemies were critically wounded, and you as the Sword Saint had just arrived with your Highland bloodline activated...

Who could resist such temptation?
