The Shadow of Immortality

Chapter 76: Consumption and Primitive Emotions


• "Welcome, Lord Johann Kreuz. Lord Eisen Nacht is expecting you."

Clark had killed a clergyman and assumed his identity, then went to the Grand Bishop's Church, the largest religious and military stronghold in the Deep State that wanted to expel a great demon that Agaroth had told him about earlier.

It resembled Cologne Cathedral on Earth, but wider, more luxurious, and grander, distinguished by gold and black solid iron.

Clark saw with his old face; he had completely donned Johann Kreuz's form after the impersonation. He had sent a request that he wanted to attend to give a confession.

Johann Kreuz was known as the greatest hater of this church because its actions were inhuman.

All the bishops here and the clergy are filled with their thirst to expel demons into the world. But what of it? If Clark needed to exploit a demon, he would do so without any hesitation.

Clark advanced between the twisted steps of this wondrous cathedral of immense enormity, as if it were a work of art, not a cathedral.

He opened a massive hall door. An old man was sitting in the chair representing the heart of the table. Clark sat in the opposite chair.

Eisen Nacht spoke:

•"So, Lord Johann, have you decided? Frankly, your letter shocked me."

That old man facing Clark possessed a clear demonic aura. He had certainly modified his body. But in a psychological pressure game like children's play, this wouldn't work against Clark.

Instead, he spoke with great depth:

•"Lord Eisen, who dedicated his life for religion, life, and great feelings and emotions towards humanity... your grand plan has meaning and purpose."

•"A glorious, great goal that will achieve immortality! Why should I deter such a plan?"

Eisen replied with a clear laugh on his face:

•"And why were you opposing offering citizens from your city?"

Clark smiled a warm smile. He was perfect in playing the clergyman role:

•"My lord, I was weak in my shallow human thoughts."

•"I mean, the great immortal goal is the true evolution of humanity. Humanity has always been at the bottom of the food chain."

•"And I know that, and as a clergyman, I want humanity to ascend. I believe in your shrewd political view that humans must make sacrifices."

•"And because of that, I have brought fifty men, twenty women, and ten children, just so we can conduct experiments and see optimal progress."

•"Let me ask you a question: Have you ever wondered why humans live for a hundred years?"

Eisen looked interested, but hid his caution.

Clark continued:

•"Because humans are merely mortal creatures living a life full of trials and complexes that make life more complicated than it is from doctrine."

•"The reason is fate. Demons are outside this damned universal authority."

•"As said in the Book of Light... but the Book of Light fought this dominating truth, trying to delude us that the law of life is death. Fate is like that; if it wants someone dead, nothing will stop it."

•"But those are just lies. I am just a person who fell into that depression, and now I am enlightened."

•"We can achieve the greatest goal and achieve the true meaning. Do you know? I don't believe in miracles and luck, I only believe in what my own hands show."

•"You can achieve this thing. Simple sacrifices will offer hope for an eternal life without any weakness or killing."

•"We will just put our hands in dirty water, then purify them in the waters of light of Lady Cortia, mother of humans in the Book of Light! Hahahahaha!"

Eisen Nacht was shocked by the change in Johann Kreuz's mindset. But suspicion still remained after all.

The two left after having lunch together, and Clark went to his room, closed the door firmly, and removed his disguise.

• "Mao Hua."

Mao Hua replied:

•"What?"

Clark replied coldly:

•"Listen, what do you think of the place? Do you think infiltrating it is easy?"

•"Well, if I could perhaps impersonate Eisen Nacht, maybe I could reach without problems."

Clark laughed:

•"That man, killing him will cause many problems and massive pursuit by a large number of people."

•"Now I need peace to think, not gathering avengers."

Clark knew what he had to do.

He waited until night and put his mask back on, changing his appearance to the old man Johann Kreuz.

He walked calmly. Soon he met Eisen Nacht on his way, who was actually looking for Clark.

With a cold look from Eisen Nacht, Clark knew what he wanted. He wanted him to follow him.

The two descended many levels into the ground in all its great enormity.

A strange excavation area, as if a mountain had submerged inside it and was being excavated from its peak.

And strangely, there were many skeletons, one of them massive.

Until they reached a door to one of the rooms.

A strange smell wafted from it, stimulating sexual desire and drugs.

The piling of women and men on top of each other was terrifying. Dirty animalistic desire.

As soon as they committed debauchery, their powers were drained—Primitive Emotions!

Those were the feelings of man and woman: primitive emotions for sex and procreation, nothing more.

Now this church showed them in their true form without clothing, just human animals!

They were lifeless. But as soon as another man or woman was pushed to fill the place repeatedly, and despair, hope, and oppression gathered... all those emotions create a demonic, evil energy.

Clark laughed in his mind as he looked at the pitiful scene:

•"That is the life of the weak who cannot protect themselves."

•"Naturally, those primitive animalistic desires are inhuman; that is the reality of life."

•"Humans are the origin of living beings, possessing intelligence and strength, distinguishing right from wrong."

•"But if you take away their minds, they will show you this pitiful sight."

This didn't stir Clark's emotions; instead, he showed a cold face, happy with this thing, and even spoke to Eisen Nacht, who wanted to know if he would be affected by this or not.

•"How magnificent! My lord, you have provided a great source of great primitive energy!"

Clark lit his cigar and began inhaling.

That was Johann Kreuz's smoking habit, and Clark had to imitate everything so they wouldn't suspect he was an impostor.

Eisen Nacht smiled and took Clark to a deeper area.

He first showed him the primitive animalistic emotions they had reduced humans to. Now he wanted to show him true savagery!

The two were standing in front of a door, and the door was leaking blood from the bottom, the smell was disgusting.

He opened the door.

It was a small, cramped room stacked with humans devouring each other.

There was nothing but them devouring each other.

And their hateful emotions were also drained, and they gradually died, then the room was refilled.

In fact, this is called the law of the jungle: either eat or be eaten. There is no third option!

Clark spoke to Eisen Nacht:

•"Yes, yes, this is the true nature of man. Either be eaten or eat. Pure primitive emotions."

•"These aren't even human! I won't shed a single tear for them."

•"In the end, that is their primitiveness and letting it rule them."

Eisen Nacht laughed:

•"Now I can trust you!!!"

Clark laughed as he spoke and blew smoke from his nose:

•"I won't disappoint you."

Clark was immensely happy with the knight's badge under the saint Eisen Nacht.

Now he could enter wherever he wanted... but not now. He had to wait a little and prove he wasn't stupid.

Clark waited two days, surveillance decreased until it became completely non-existent.

Clark's happiness was high and pierced the sky! He danced in front of the corpses and skipped over the blood while laughing! Now he could access the deepest secrets of this building!

The giant door before Clark, he was like an ant before it. And it wouldn't open unless he placed his badge.

Clark placed it, and the door opened. Soon it closed again.

The place was filled with sealed glass containers filled with precious materials for refining Extreme Movements. And of course, none other than that bastard Jin brought them!

But in the Heavenly Court... there was a butterfly filled with an eternal aura. The ghostly face had been refined by the Eternal Venerable Star Constellation.

Clark had failed and didn't know!!!!

Clark was harvesting any material that appeared before him.

But tension: Where could he carry all those things?

Plants, metals, everything, and more.

But Clark saw a strange rune stone, grabbed it with his hand.

But as soon as he grabbed it...

Clark quickly entered his consciousness into a strange void, and was floating in it.

Clark laughed:

•"Is this the static storage space from the Immortal World?!"

The static space was created by Immortal Zombies who couldn't recover their Immortal Unconsciousness due to the death of their body!

Clark's consciousness returned, and he began storing everything.

But there was a legendary material floating in sealed glass.

It had a vanilla scent. It resembled a cicada, but radiated a white aura—"White Lychee."

The Extreme Movement for extending lifespan was before him!!!

•"Well, well! Look who's here, trying to steal from me right before my eyes!!!"
