The elderly black man, dressed in a snow-white suit and barefoot, stood in the void. He was akin to a god presiding over "Thunder," his words summoning endless lightning bolts like a blazing white downpour, leaving no gaps as they bombarded Howard.

This "sick husband" was still immersed in the so-called mesmerizing power when, the next second, he experienced the true meaning of power.

His body, mutated by pollution, turned into char in the blink of an eye.

His soul was about to fall into "paralysis."

Tang Qi and Rose were halfway submerged in darkness, catching sight of the circular structure, which was not as lively as during the gathering, with only a dozen figures seated on ancient stone chairs, each holding a crystal-like thing.

Inside, the lightning runes flickered.

Clearly, they were the support for the "Chairman" to unleash his Demigod Level powers.

At the top of the building, more human figures swayed, seemingly summoning even more power.

Containing a "Devouring Beast" clearly wasn't something a single Chairman could handle, hence the elderly man was just the beginning, with at least another "Chairman" expected to arrive soon, employing even more powerful Curios.

Seeing this, a smile curled at the corner of Tang Qi's mouth.

This was the proper way to join a "Secret Organization." Although he himself possessed immense power, if he tackled every incident or enemy monster alone, Tang Qi would have been a corpse by now.

He came to Holy Eagle Nest City merely to save his good friend, Rose Madeline. He wasn't particularly interested in the secrets of Howard Roland, especially not the Devouring Beast.

Tang Qi had also considered dragging "Lovcek 426" into his Dream Kingdom, where, as its Sovereign, his power would be magnified to Divinity, but he immediately dismissed the idea, doubting his Dream Kingdom could contain a "Devouring Beast."

More likely, his Dream Kingdom would be burst by the Devouring Beast.

He enjoyed adventure, but not at the cost of his life.

Compared to that, Holy Eagle Nest Mountain was an excellent battlefield.

And, he didn't need to get involved directly.

Though in terms of fame, the Eagle's Nest Association might fall slightly behind organizations like "Rotten Head" or "Eternal Council," and have much less heritage compared to the World Tree, Ancient Mystical Vault, or Dream God Palace.

But as another "official," the power of the Eagle's Nest Association was formidable.

Tang Qi felt he had fulfilled his duty to inform and delay, and now it was time to hand it over to his colleagues at the Eagle's Nest Association.

As for the roar of the "Melter," Tang Qi planned to ignore it.

The prerequisite for sacrifice was that the other party must be weakened and unable to resist.

Meaning, to feed the "Devouring Beast" to the Melter, Tang Qi must first cripple it.

"Ah, if I can sacrifice it for free, I'm willing to try."

He muttered to himself, then was about to leave the battlefield with Rose Madeline.

It must be said, his thoughts and actions were very sound.

But at that moment, an unexpected incident occurred.

In the midst of the blazing white lightning bombardment, a charred body with bloodshot, crimson eyes, ignoring the god-like black elder, stared directly at the two figures about to leave, "embracing" each other.

Once more, pain and excitement surfaced on his face.

His mouth quickly split open, revealing scorched flesh and char falling off, his voice suddenly resonating beside the two:

"The final scene, a cheating wife and the third party trying to kill the poor husband, then escape back to that filthy deceitful world, but their scheme will not succeed, Rose Madeline, you are my wife, you are my angel, you must always be with me..."

When this sick voice rang out, the expressions of Tang Qi and Rose drastically changed.

Tang Qi didn't need to look back; his mind automatically projected the image of Howard Roland at that moment.

His charred body was splitting apart.

Beneath the black cracks, white fascia appeared with baby-arm thick veins bulging, filled with a pulsing black polluted liquid, the fascia swelling as the viscous blood light formed a shield-like layer, momentarily blocking the fearsome thunder.

"Boom!"

Like a big explosion, a monster started descending at an unimaginable speed.

This was a very unreasonable and absurd sight; even the mutated Howard Roland was only three meters tall, but what was now emerging at the peak of Holy Eagle Nest Mountain was a true mountainous figure, boring out from inside Howard's body.

Without any further words, Tang Qi wrapped his arms around Rose, trying to speed up their departure.

Simultaneously, to accommodate the impending arrival of the monster, the battlefield was expanding due to a constant space spell, preventing their bodies from completely escaping.

The next second, both felt a sudden tightness around their waists, their bodies subjected to a powerful squeezing, almost sticking tightly together.

Tang Qi lowered his head, seeing himself and Rose entwined by a tentacle covered in mucus and stacked with toothed suckers. The pollution tried to transfer over but was blocked by Tang Qi's "Guardian Spell."

The two were being detained by Rose's husband, Howard Roland.

An unimaginable colossal force instantly overpowered the "Strange Power" released from Tang Qi's body, binding the two and dragging them backward.

Without waiting for Tang Qi to act, beside them, the black elder appeared.

He still wore a faint smile, his hands conjuring a thunderous spear, swinging it at the tentacles binding Tang Qi and Rose.

But before "Lord Chairman" could succeed, unimaginable Great Horror suddenly appeared behind him.

In the darkness, time and space seemed to stagnate.

They heard some abnormal noises—the sound of filthy blood flowing, tentacles scraping against each other, and the sound of an unimaginably vast mouth, one with no visible boundaries, slowly opening... Tang Qi and Rose saw it most clearly.

Braving the thunder and lightning, a "flesh orb" appeared.

It was unimaginably massive; before its mouth, three human figures seemed like mere ants stuck between teeth.

Its body was covered with incredibly tenacious white fibrous tissue, beneath which were wriggling thick blood vessels surrounded by all sorts of bizarre patterns that flowed, each pattern immensely evil and mad, transmitting pollution to any eye that saw them.

Around it, studded on every side, were "Red Eyes" filled with a singular, intense desire.

Below it, countless tentacles fell and swung about.

Its mouth was slowly opening, revealing layers of massive sharp teeth and elongated saliva that cascaded down like a waterfall with a roaring sound, with its tongue appearing like an immensely gigantic, sticky red meat carpet, slowly lifting to reveal an endless number of corpses below...

Among them, one particularly "fresh" charred body lifted its head, grinning disgustingly and sickly, looking at Rose Madeline and murmuring, "Join us, my angel, become part of the Great Existence."

"Boom!"

As his words fell, darkness descended.

The enveloping darkness wrapped around all three of them.

"Swallowed?"

This thought had just arisen when, amidst the darkness, a flash of lightning glimmered, and the black elderly man completely transformed into a figure composed of blazing white lightning, which then exploded with a boom, the scattering lightning not only severing the tentacles binding the two but also blasting a gap into the giant toothy mouth.

Although the flesh began to heal in a blink of an eye,

this moment still allowed the two to escape.

As for the black elderly man, his figure had long since appeared on the other end of the darkness.

Just as Tang Qi was pulling Rose to flee, abruptly, their bodies were fixed in place.

Under their feet, flesh grew, forming into hands that exerted Giant Force to seize them.

Below them, those "dead silent" corpses now revived, began to climb up, their pale white, rotting skulls murmuring to the two: "Stay, stay, become one with us."

Facing this horror, Tang Qi was essentially indifferent as he felt an even more terrifying "thing."

Or rather, will.

Tang Qi looked up, where the flesh covered area, thick blood vessels wriggled and converged, a fissure slowly opening.

That was an eyeball.

Not yet beginning to "make eye contact," but Tang Qi already felt a splitting headache, sensing a force of chaos and madness impressing upon him. Unlike Howard Roland, its real interest was Tang Qi.

It displayed an intensely strong desire to eat Tang Qi, an overwhelming longing to devour him.

This, was almost akin to a form of praise.

But not praise for being handsome or powerful, but for smelling incredibly delicious.

"What an honor, indeed!"

Realizing his predicament, Tang Qi acknowledged that he had become the "Devouring Beast's" must-eat delicious Food.

"Horror Devourer, Dark Dominator, these 'Evil Gods,' their raison d'être is to eat, and among them, those with Divinity are their most coveted food. As a miniaturized Dominator, encountering such food, the Devouring Beast naturally wouldn't let go."

Tang Qi's expression turned solemn, glanced at Rose who was also "Constrained" beside him, then at the nearly endless corpses around them, some of which clearly belonged to Transcendents, Demons, and Exotic Realm Monsters.

A thought struck, "Flame Spell" silently cast, in an instant wrapping Rose entirely, burning away the filthy flesh and blood.

As the Red Flames reflected in Rose's eyes, suddenly a gentle push came from behind her, propelling her out of the giant mouth along the gap created, perfectly caught by the black elderly man's hand, and sent towards the circular structure above.

Seeing this scene, the "fresh corpse" Howard Roland was about to roar in anger, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw a foot stamping down.

Bang!

This time, his skull truly completely shattered, Tang Qi's cold voice following: "Although perverse, still too weak, not even qualified to be my sacrifice."

As he spoke, Tang Qi eyed the elderly black man across the now mostly healed fissure.

He nodded, seemingly quickly confirming a plan.

Then, Tang Qi, resisting the urge to lock gazes with the eye above, turned to instead search for something amidst the endless corpses below.

After a quick sweep, finding nothing satisfying, he actually turned around, diving willingly into the "Devouring Beast's" body.

Along the way, Guardian Spell and Flame Spell were cast simultaneously, all the rushing flesh palms and fleshy tentacles were utterly burned away, and even more miserably, its layers of teeth shattered by Tang Qi's body.
