Chapter 63 Does the Evil God Cult Really Have Evil Gods?
Evil God Cult.
The cult organizations that appeared in the original work.
The believers practiced their doctrine through killing, requiring them to kill everyone around them.
Using bloodshed and madness as proof of so-called "faith".
On this point alone, such an organization is not enough to cause much of a stir in this world where chakra is rampant and powerful beings abound.
After all, this is a world where ninjas, bloodline limits, tailed beasts, sages, and forbidden techniques coexist.
Ordinary cults, no matter how fanatical, are nothing more than insects breeding in a corner.
But the problem is...
In so-called cults of evil gods, there really are "evil gods".
This is not some pretentious title created to generate hype, nor is it a self-deceptive, fanatical worship by the ignorant.
Rather, there truly exists some terrifying force related to "God".
Hidan's immortal body, as well as his bizarre spells and curse abilities, are said to have originated from religiously forbidden experiments and sacrifices.
Blessings obtained through sacrifice...
It should be said that it was nothing short of a curse.
That power was indeed terrifying, enough to push a person to a state of near-immortality and self-inflicted injury.
If Hyuga Seiran could successfully obtain that power, perhaps he would be one step closer to his goal.
But....
"I don't want to accept this disgusting power..."
He lowered his eyes and looked into the distance, his gaze falling on the villagers who were approaching.
In any world, those who use "faith" as a pretext to torture others and sacrifice living people are the most disgusting kind of people.
Moreover, the so-called evil gods, death gods, and some ancient beings hidden behind legends all exude an indescribable eeriness.
It may even have existed for a much longer period than Kaguya Otsutsuki.
What's the difference between accepting their power and gradually stripping away your own personality?
Just like the three holy sites.
Learning their immortal patterns, on the surface, is about gaining recognition from natural energy and embarking on a path to a higher level.
In a sense, it was just a process of gradually becoming their "spokesperson".
The Great Toad Immortal, the Slug Immortal, and the White Snake Immortal.
Aside from the seemingly harmless and unassuming slug fairy, the other two are anything but well-behaved.
"You're overthinking it..."
Hinata Seiran shook his head and manipulated Ao back to the depths of the sealed stone cave.
On the stone wall, countless white eyes, each one meticulously packaged, hung in abundance.
In this dark and deep stone cave, those pure white eyes looked like stars forcibly gouged out and hung in an endless darkness.
Hinata Seiran gazed at the disapproving looks and pondered silently.
The most important thing now is to move these things away.
Otherwise, if the cult continues its activities, performs sacrifices, or even develops forbidden rituals in this area...
It's hard to say that one day they won't notice the anomaly here.
That would be troublesome.
Meanwhile, outside the sealed stone cave, in another cave some distance away, torches flickered in the wind.
The flickering flames illuminated the faces hidden beneath the black robes with exceptional clarity.
The ground had been roughly cleared, and some kind of complex and strange ritual pattern was engraved in the center.
"My Lord, the offerings are ready! We await your command!"
A cultist dressed in black robes strode forward, his face filled with an almost morbid excitement.
"This time, the sacrifices were made voluntarily... The evil god will surely be satisfied!"
"At that time, our Evil God Cult will be able to produce a truly perfect representative..."
By the end, the believer was even becoming somewhat incoherent.
He was completely unaware that the cult leader Ryuzaki, standing in front of him, was gradually darkening his expression.
Ryuzaki didn't reply immediately, but slowly glanced around.
The members of the evil god cult had a clear division of labor. They moved equipment, set up magic arrays, and prepared medicine powder and blood vessels. All processes were orderly and exceptionally skilled.
However, this is not actually their original base camp.
The previous base had already been exposed.
The conflict between Kumogakure, Konoha, and Kirigakure continued unabated, with the battlefield gradually expanding towards the Land of Hot Springs, eventually even engulfing their hiding places.
Furthermore, since Yugakure already deeply abhorred such cult organizations, they simply issued a mission, demanding that the three major ninja villages eradicate the evil god cult.
For a time, they were almost at their wits' end.
But it was precisely at that moment, when everything seemed hopeless, that Ryuzaki survived.
Not only did they survive, they even gained new power from the evil god's "gift".
That's why they temporarily moved and established a new base.
Ryuzaki slowly raised his hand, feeling the surging power within his body.
Although he is not truly immortal, his vitality far surpasses that of ordinary people, and he has even mastered the curse technique of Death Possession Blood.
As long as the ritual continues, as long as the sacrifice is successful enough, as long as the direction is correct...
Then he can get even more.
More strength, more blessings...
"If this succeeds... it will prove that we are on the right track." Ryuzaki sneered, burying his thoughts deep inside.
At that time, all the followers of the evil god will be sacrificed to the evil god...
Perhaps... I will receive the evil god's gift again.
Until true immortality.
His gaze slowly moved down and landed on the child who was bound hand and foot not far away, yet whose expression was surprisingly calm.
Hidan.
The child they regarded as the "perfect sacrifice".
At this moment, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he slightly raised his chin, revealing an almost defiant expression as he looked at the cultists around him.
That appearance excited many of the believers present.
Because they firmly believe:
Such "offerings" are closest to the preferences of evil gods.
"Let's begin."
At Ryuzaki's command, the cultists outside the cave began to lift up the bound and unconscious civilians and carry them into the cave.
Within the densely packed black robes, there was excitement, indifference, and an irrepressible mix of exhilaration and cruelty.
In the shadows at the far end of the altar, several figures dressed in Kirigakure uniforms and wearing black cloaks held their breath in concentration.
"A cult still exists in the Land of Hot Springs?"
One of the men, whose chin was covered in red paint, muttered dismissively, "I thought this was a secret base set up by Konoha..."
"Qing, double-check. If this is all, let's go and continue our infiltration."
"Yes, Lord Juzo."
The man named Qing quietly formed a hand seal, his right white eye slightly opening as he quickly scanned his surroundings.
But as his gaze swept over another cave in the distance, he suddenly realized...
There was a seal hidden there.
