American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 418: Defeated Just Like Xiao He
In the jet-black world, the only light came from the church. At the top of the long steps in front of the church’s door, Xu Yi gripped a large cleaver, his whole body seething with a desire to kill.
A day had passed since he returned from the wreckage of flesh and blood.
In that day, he had done only one thing, which was to mobilize the World Power of Silent Hill to merge with the dark crystal.
The results were very significant; the fusion progress of the dark crystal had already reached 2/3.
But this was the limit, and the further he went with the fusion, the more difficult it became.
Compared to before, Xu Yi was already much stronger, but it was still far from enough because the next melee would definitely be more dangerous.
Only by fully merging the dark crystal could he ensure that he would survive the return.
His footsteps heavy, Xu Yi walked step by step towards the church, with Alessa watching his back, her eyes filled with hope.
Almost all the World Power in Silent Hill that belonged to Alessa had been borrowed by Xu Yi.
To continue merging with the dark crystal, he needed more World Power. The best way now was to take back the other powers that belonged to Alessa.
After merging with Alessa, Xu Yi had also become one of the supreme rulers of Silent Hill. He could feel that some of Alessa’s powers were inside the church.
Entering the church now was not just about avenging Alessa. It was also the lifesaving remedy Xu Yi needed to survive in the wreckage of flesh and blood.
Xu Yi stamped on the ground and began to accelerate, crashing into the church like a cannonball. That familiar barrier sensation appeared again, and the Sub-Divine Power within him burned, the violent energy forcefully breaking through the barrier.
Xu Yi burst into the church.
Since its inception, the church had never been invaded by monsters, so there was not even a guard.
The faithful were conducting mass and similar rituals, holding white candles in front of their chests. The candlelight illuminated the sunken faces inside their eye sockets.
The smell of blood mixed with the howling wind rushed in, and a large number of candles were extinguished. The congregation instinctively looked towards the door and froze in the moment.
A ferocious monster stood at the entrance.
For a moment, they thought they were trapped in some nightmare until screams were heard, and everyone woke up as if from a dream.
The believers fled in terror, some screaming hysterically; others crouched in corners, praying non-stop... The scene was complete chaos.
A robed believer, holding a Magic Artifact, quickly stepped forward, chanting prayers.
Xu Yi ignored the power of the Magic Artifact, raised his cleaver, and swung it wildly, limbs and blood flying together.
The crowd became even more terrified, and screams erupted.
Everyone panicked and retreated, but there was one exception.
It was a middle-aged woman with slightly curled hair, dressed in a special formal robe, looking appropriate and in stark contrast to the gaunt, pale-faced believers around her.
"Lord of the Church, save us!" the surrounding believers begged in unison.
Xu Yi recognized the person at the same time, Cristobalara, the female leader of the cult.
There wasn’t a trace of fear in the cult leader’s eyes. Xu Yi did not understand where her courage came from, her strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Great Exorcist.

From her pocket, cult leader Cristobalara pulled out a metal medallion, which Xu Yi recognized—it was the seal of Metatron.
The moment Xu Yi saw that seal, he felt a strong desire rise within him, an intense urgency to obtain it.

Xu Yi walked towards the cult leader, knife in hand, with a tsunami of murderous intent sweeping over. The cult leader stood resolute, simply touching the metal medallion with her fingertip.
"Expel!" the cult leader chanted softly.
A powerful force acted upon Xu Yi, stopping him in his tracks, unable to move.
He burned the Sub-Divine Power within him, trying to break free from the hold, but it had no effect.
The direction of the force abruptly changed, and he was immediately propelled out, flying away from the church.
The cult leader watched the spot where the Pyramid Head disappeared, her eyes gleaming.
The appearance of Pyramid Head gave her a strong sense of crisis.
"It looks like I need to speed things up!" the female cult leader thought to herself.
...
Xu Yi sat up from the collapsed house, feeling very troubled.
Having great strength yet being unable to use it was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling!
As one of the Controllers of the Silent Hill world, he also possessed the powerful Sub-Divine Power.
Logically, dealing with a Great Exorcist should have been an easy task.
But as the saying goes, "Xiao He is what Xiao He fixeth; Xiao He is also what Xiao He ruineth."
Most of his powers stemmed from the World Power of Silent Hill, and as a beneficiary of this power, he had to follow the rules of this world more strictly than anyone else.
Forcing against it could likely lead to the collapse of this world.
The opponent held the seal of Metatron, which meant they held some control over the rules of this world, at least the ones within the church.
That was why he was so easily expelled.
"Don’t worry, I’ll think of something."
Xu Yi reassured Alesha, who was waiting outside, in a soft voice.
Since Alesha had merged with him, she was no longer appearing and disappearing unpredictably; instead, she often stayed by his side, for reasons unknown.
Alesha gave no response, her gaze indifferent, showing no sign of disappointment.
Many times, Xu Yi felt that Alesha was like a puppet, with very few emotional fluctuations.
"If only I could make contact with the outside world," Xu Yi sighed inwardly.
He could now only appear in the Outer World and the Inner World of Silent Hill, unable to go to the real world.
He also couldn’t connect with the Main Soul of the Dream World to send dreams to Maria and the others.
Alesha, on the other hand, had two channels through which she could make contact with the outside world, though they were hardly satisfactory.
One was to contact her physical body in the outside world.
Unfortunately, her body was severely burned and she could only lie in a hospital bed, unable to speak, let alone do anything else.
The other channel was "Kind Alesha."
This involved the origins of Alesha.
The one in Silent Hill should be called "Evil Alesha," or more accurately, "Avenger Alesha."
To better execute her revenge, the original split the evil side from the kind side within her.
That way, the weakness in her personality wouldn’t hinder the revenge plan.
Now, "Kind Alesha" lived peacefully in a world outside of Silent Hill.
Previously, Evil Alesha was still capable of summoning the other through telepathy, but one day, the connection just broke off.
It was likely that the exorcist used some means to isolate the telepathy.
Silent Hill had also been sealed off by the local government due to its excessive danger, and no one had entered for a long time.
In the following days, Xu Yi explored all over the world of Silent Hill, trying to find a way to break the deadlock, but ended up with nothing to show for it.
Three days passed like this, and only two days were left before the opening of the Flesh and Blood Battleground.
"It seems that the plan to reclaim my power will have to be put on hold!"
Xu Yi was preparing wholeheartedly for the battle of the Flesh and Blood Battleground, but unexpectedly, at this time, people actually entered Silent Hill, and more than one.
