American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 224: Breaking Cocoon
The "Doomsday Blade" missile whistled down, its long tail of flame slicing through the sky, the alloy warhead reflecting the inverted image of the Evil Deity.
The missile exploded with a roar, and Golden Crystal flew out, spreading throughout the space.
Feeling the imminent danger, the thick petals of the Evil Deity’s flower closed up, forming a bud that tightly protected the huge cocoon of the Evil Deity.
The towering black column suddenly twisted, and Xu Yi, looking at the huge "bud head," realized that the so-called "pillar reaching the sky" was in essence an enormous Eyeless Snake.
Perceiving it could not escape, the Eyeless Snake coiled itself up, using its own body to protect the giant cocoon.
The Doomsday Crystal cracked open, its radiant light illuminating the entire area as if a golden sun had risen from this spot.
A huge Array lit up at the same time, an invisible curtain enveloping the whole area and blocking the radiation from the Doomsday Crystal.
If not for this Array, it’s likely that not many people would have survived within several kilometers, and Xu Yi would not have been able to watch from a close distance.
Even so, Xu Yi still felt an intense burning sensation; his skin suffered severe burns. Had it been a Common person, they would probably have died before even reaching the hospital.
In the midst of the golden light, the giant Eyeless Snake crumbled to dust and dissipated.
This was the pinnacle of the fusion between alchemy and modern technology. Xu Yi had seen the Doomsday Blade before, but he still marveled at it.
The glow slowly faded away, and the Array, too, dimmed as its energy was exhausted. The dust from the radiation hit him full on, and the burning on Xu Yi’s skin grew even more intense. It was then that he realized the Array’s complexity.
Looking around, within the range covered by the Doomsday Blade, there was no trace of any living being, only a black cocoon floating on the surface of the river.
This was a normal phenomenon; the last time the Doomsday Blade fell, the cocoon in the cave also remained. All the more so this time with the protection of the enormous Eyeless Snake.
The water flowed over it, and the black cocoon crumbled into debris, falling into the river.
Xu Yi let out a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that even the formidable Evil Deity had no way to withstand the power of the Doomsday Blade.
But the very next second, his pupils suddenly constricted to pinpoints as he stared intently at the river’s surface.
The water suddenly rippled, and a skeleton rose from the river, quietly floating on the surface, completely lifeless.
But Xu Yi could clearly see that fine black flesh was surging within the eye sockets of the skeleton, condensing into black eyeballs with blood-red Reverse Crosses distinctively marked in the pupils.
The Evil Deity was not dead!
Xu Yi was stunned. That was an incredibly resilient Vitality; to be able to survive a direct hit from the Doomsday Blade was extraordinary.
"My name is Noavius!"
Though the Evil Deity was nothing but bones, lacking organs like a throat, it somehow made a sound.
The voice thundered through heaven and earth.
Xu Yi’s face looked grim. To deal with the Evil Deity, he had searched for a good deal of knowledge related to it.
The term Evil Deity did not refer to an individual, but to a group. No one knew how they came into being. There was speculation that they came from outer space, not originating from Earth.
Once an Evil Deity emerged from the "Cocoon of Metamorphosis," it would possess a unique "True Name," and at that point, it would become extremely horrifying.
Xu Yi caught a glimpse of excitement in the eyes of the Evil Deity, and paused slightly.
He always had a question.
Why did the Evil Deity have to be so "high-profile"? Could it not hide at the bottom of the river quietly, waiting for the day it would break out of the cocoon?
The Evil Deity wasn’t a creature without intelligence; on the contrary, it was very intelligent, otherwise, it wouldn’t have thought to use a "false nest" to confuse the special affairs team.
Could it be that it wanted to use the power of the Doomsday Blade to help break out of its shell?
Xu Yi suddenly thought of a possibility, and a chill ran through him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was very likely. The indestructible nature of the Metamorphosis Cocoon was well known; even under the radiation of the Doomsday Crystal, it could still retain remnants.
Even for the mighty Evil Deity, breaking out of the giant cocoon would be a difficult feat.
Thus, the Evil Deity took a crazy risk, using the Doomsday Blade to forcefully undergo Metamorphosis, and now it had succeeded!
"Could another Doomsday Blade be possible?"
He felt that if another blast of the Doomsday Blade could be launched, it may be possible to eliminate the Evil Deity.
Xu Yi gazed towards the horizon, hoping to see the golden flames rise from there once more, but regrettably, nothing happened.
This Martin is too honest, huh? Saying there were two Doomsday Blade missiles, and there truly were only two.
The fighter jet climbed higher, its camera continuously focused on the ground below, transmitting the footage back to the command center.
Everyone in the command center fell silent, no matter how hard they tried, they could not believe that even the Doomsday Blade was unable to eliminate the Evil Deity.
"Continue to send invites to the title-holding exorcists, dealing with this kind of monster, I think even ’Dragon Empress Yukeni’ is not guaranteed to be safe," the mayor softly ordered.
"We’ve been inviting the whole time, but what do we do now?"
"Mobilize all forces, stop the Evil Deity from entering the city, and better yet, lead it away from the city," the mayor said with a helpless sigh.
"The one on top of the skyscraper seems to be Xu Yi?" someone suddenly spoke up.
The fighter jet’s camera had captured Xu Yi.

"The Xu Yi who defeated the Evil Deity before? Could he possibly have a way?" another person spoke excitedly.
"Don’t daydream! Once the Evil Deity has emerged from its cocoon, it is completely a different being. Xu Yi is indeed very strong, but he is still quite far from ’title-holding exorcist’ status," the person shook their head.
Xu Yi did not know that he was being discussed, and even if he did, he would not have cared. Continue reading on novelbuddy
Suddenly, several copies of the Evil Deity appeared in his field of view, racing wildly towards the pile of bones.
Xu Yi sensed that something was terribly wrong. He drew out the Alchemical Revolver Messiah, focused his mind, and aimed at the bones.
High Noon was activated!
The Evil Deity Noaveis sensed the locked intent and turned to glance at Xu Yi. It’s unknown if it was because it was too weakened, but it made no move.
Five-second countdown ended and six silver-white bullets howled as they left the chamber, cutting through the sky, hitting the Evil Deity’s eyes and temples.
Xu Yi watched the Evil Deity closely, secretly hopeful.
High Noon had the "execute on low health" effect, and the Evil Deity seemed to be very weak. If High Noon’s "special effect" could be triggered, there might be a chance to kill the Evil Deity.
The Evil Deity’s eyes were pierced through, the massive amount of Fog of Obscurity contained in the bullets exploded, blowing the eyes to smithereens.
However, those bullets that hit the temples only left shallow white marks on the black skeleton, which healed in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, those copies of the Evil Deity rushed to Noaveis’s side. Noaveis reached out a hand and rested it on the clones.
The bodies of the Evil Deity clones began to melt, like butter being burned, turning into a black liquid that flowed towards Noaveis; it was completely absorbed.
Noaveis was reborn, transforming into a tall humanoid figure, skin black as ink with blood-red patterns engraved on it, resembling twisted serpent shadows.
All of Xu Yi’s muscles tensed. Suddenly, he could no longer sense Noaveis’s aura, as if what stood before him was just a stone. This did not mean the opponent was weak, quite the contrary, it was because its level was now far beyond his own.
Noaveis turned its head to look at Xu Yi. From its gaze, Xu Yi saw many things—hatred, bloodthirsty desire, and... disdain.
Noaveis’ figure suddenly blurred, making Xu Yi’s hairs stand on end. The blurring was because its speed was too fast, even the Eyes of Obscurity could not track its movements.
A purple-red energy barrier unfolded, and Demon-Suppressing Flame rose from Xu Yi’s body. Although he could not catch the opponent’s movements, it was definitely correct to be preemptively cautious.
Xu Yi suddenly turned around to find Noaveis standing on the edge of the rooftop, quietly watching him.
A gunshot rang out. Xu Yi instantly emptied the chamber of the Alchemical Revolver, but Noaveis did not dodge. The bullets left only faint white traces on its body.
Xu Yi’s expression changed. If his attacks couldn’t even breach the defense, how was he supposed to fight?
