Chapter 146 144. Welcome, Son of Prophecy

Russell was calm and said slowly:

"When I entered school, the teachers at the academy quietly told me that I was a hero and was destined to defeat the Demon King!

“But people at the college hid more from me, covering me up under a huge lie that made it impossible for me to face the truth.

“It was only later that they were reluctant to tell me the consequences of the prophecy – that I was destined to awaken the demon within me.

"It's just like……"

The face of the beautiful young man Qing Jun, who had always been rational, calm, indifferent, and unruffled, suddenly burst into a strange, evil, and crazy smile:

"Like now!"

Several black-robed demon cultists wanted to question Russell's words, but thinking of Russell's crazy and evil performance during the previous dream assessment, they felt that it would be strange if Russell was not the son of prophecy.

"Do you only know these two prophecies?" Martha suddenly asked.

Russell nodded slightly.

He knew that the prophecy had three sentences, but Professor Black Amber only told him the first two sentences.

Russell does not know the content of the third sentence, but based on various signs, the prediction of the third sentence should also mean that Russell will do something bad in the future.

"It doesn't matter, knowing two is enough. Hahahaha. If you knew the third, you would be even crazier than you are now."

Martha laughed mockingly, not as if she were mocking Russell, but as if she were mocking fate itself.

She stared at Russell, her bloody eyes glowing red.

"Tell me, Devil's Eye, whether the young man in front of me is the son of prophecy!"

She used her half-demon power bloodline to make a simple prophecy.

Although divination and prophecy are often inaccurate, given Martha's rank, and the fact that Russell is standing in front of her and has just provided a lot of information, I subconsciously do not reject the divination results, and the direction of divination is fixed, and questions can be answered with "yes" or "yes". When answering "no", the prediction accuracy rate will be greatly improved.

Faced with this prophecy that was beneficial to Russell, the Hidden One did not interfere or block it.

The next second, the blood-red light in Martha's eyes faded.

"You are indeed. The prediction accuracy is more than 80%."

Russell is indeed extraordinary! Vermouth was half surprised, half not surprised.

Nocturne and the other two red-robed officiants, one tall and one short, also trembled suddenly.

The other black-robed cultists, as described in the general story routine, sucked in several breaths of cold air, accelerating the process of global warming.

Martha asked again: "Russell, you are a hero destined to defeat the Demon King. Aren't you worried that if you tell us, we will be disadvantageous to you?"

"Don't worry." Russell's tone became calm again.

"Why?"

Because I let the wind chime sneak into your cultists' bathroom party, I know your attitude towards the children of prophecy, and you tend to win over them as your own. Russell muttered secretly.

"Defeating the Demon King doesn't mean anything, and it won't destroy him." Russell's face once again showed the crazy smile before:

“When the Demon King returns to rule the world, the cult can even design a game that allows me to defeat the Demon King without actually harming him, and fulfill the prophecy in a literal sense.

"Or maybe, I will become the new Demon King!"

The air became solid again, many cultists held their breaths with hair on their backs, and even their heartbeats could be heard clearly.

"Hahaha."

Martha laughed again.

She opened her arms towards Russell:

“Welcome to accept yourself!

"You are also welcome to join us!

"Son of the devil, son of prophecy!"

After saying that, Martha walked towards Russell:

"In order to welcome our son of prophecy, let me give you a gift."

She didn't know where she took out a stone that was as red as blood and glowed with a bright red light, and threw it to Russell.

“This is the Abyss Bloodstone.

"When you practice spiritually, you can place this stone on your forehead or chest. Part of the energy contained in the abyss blood stone will blend into your spirit and resonate with your life energy field, greatly increasing the efficiency of your spiritual practice. .

"This will make the bloodstone gradually shrink until it disappears. But it will still be useful for at least two or three years."

As she spoke, Martha pointed to Nocturne:

"My daughter's ability to become such a powerful transcendent at this age is partly due to the Abyss Blood Stone."

It turns out that Nocturne is the daughter of the leader of the Red Order of Chaos. No wonder she has the strength of a third grader... A strong person like Nocturne actually hides her strength and takes the entrance exam with a group of freshmen who are not even in the early first grade...

Russell thought as he put away the abyss blood stone.

He did not dare to absorb this kind of item that contained the power of the abyssal demon. He could only go back and ask Professor Opal and others for their opinions.

After seeing that he had gained some of Martha's trust, Russell asked Martha and other cultists a key question:

"About one night two months ago, a large number of abyssal demons descended into the academy through the summoning circle.

“If I’m not wrong, this is the work of our religious order.

"I want to know, in addition to showing the power of the abyss demon, does this have a deeper purpose? Is there any connection between this and the plan to release the demon king?"

This is one of the pieces of information Russell is most concerned about. He has some suspicions about this, but has not yet verified it.

Martha was silent for a few seconds and did not answer immediately. She just said:

“You can go back and rest for a few days.

"In a few days, I will ask them to sort out all the details of the plan and then send it to you together with the Book of Shadows."

Russell knew his position and did not ask any questions. He saluted Martha again, thanked her for the gift, and then turned and left.

…

That night.

Russell lay in the dormitory and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, Russell met Professor Opal.

As a fourth-year expert in the psychic and illusion department, Opal is also good at dreaming!

He chose to use this covert method to exchange information and transmit intelligence with Russell.

"I have checked the Book of Shadows and the Abyss Bloodstone you mentioned. If you just carry them with you, they do not pose any real danger. They have no tracking function and will not reveal your location."

Opal was smiling. After saying this, he paused and said seriously:

"But potential risks still exist. Those rituals recorded in the Book of Shadows, which involve directly offering sacrifices to demons and praying for strength, you'd better not try alone without the supervision of other teachers.

"And that piece of abyss bloodstone is indeed a priceless treasure. I don't know how many extraordinary people would want its power. But I don't recommend that you use it to speed up the progress of your spiritual practice.

"Directly absorbing the energy of the blood stone will subtly affect your spirit, which may make you cold or violent, and have a greater affinity for the devil's breath than normal. In addition, the soul will be slightly contaminated, causing other hidden dangers.

"In addition, I believe that with your talent, you will have the opportunity to advance to the fourth grade in the future and become one of the top few extraordinary people in the world. If you draw energy from the abyss blood stone to speed up your spiritual practice now, you will try to become the best in the future. When you are a top transcendent, you will be more likely to encounter bottlenecks."

In his dream, Russell nodded gently, understanding Professor Opal's good intentions, and said with a smile:

"I understand this. Subway tells me every day that if you frequently use external stimulation to improve your strength, your foundation will be weak, and your mind will be unstable when you hit a higher level later."

He asked again:

"Then are there any other ways to use this abyss blood stone?"
