American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 456 - 437 Heavenly Demon True Understanding_4
Hair flying wildly, a single hand extended forward, a single fingertip pointing out.
That was the posture he had when he had slain the Dragon of Divine Calamity in Boston.
He took out the clay figurine, only to find crooked, twisting letters on the base: "Dragon Slayer and happy birthday, Dad!"
Xu Yi's carefully maintained calm shattered, as he fiercely grasped at his heart, feeling something there split open, the pain rendering him breathless.
He remembered, in three days it would be his birthday.
What mood was Xiaoyu in when she molded this figurine? Was it anticipation, or concern?
Since her birth, she had never seen her father, but her mother and everyone around her always told her, her father was a hero.
She longed to be like other children, to be able to act spoiled in her father's arms, to have her father take her to the supermarket to buy snacks, to the park to blow bubbles...
But year after year, Dad still hadn't come back. Perhaps this wasn't the first time she had prepared a birthday gift for her father.
Even until the day she died, she had never really met her father.
During the awakening of her Talent, Xiaoyu was entirely unconscious.
Xu Yi's body couldn't stop shaking, a variety of thoughts crowding in.
If he had been more cautious, would he have been able to prevent the Ancient God's black blood from seeping in?
If he had lasted a bit longer in Leviathan Hell, could he have conserved uses of the Resurrection Coin?
Would the outcome have been different?
An endless regret almost drowned Xu Yi, the color of despair in his pupils growing more intense; he completely sank into the agony.
"No! There's still a chance!"
Xu Yi suddenly lifted his head, a fierce light exploding from his eyes as if almost tangible, he looked toward the "Master of Time" entry on the panel.
The weapon "Seven Deadly Sins" was still autonomously hunting Dark Creatures, "Master of Time" entry was slowly rising, the progress had now reached 26%.
A single Resurrection Coin could only take time back five minutes, but "Master of Time" could break that limit, potentially taking time back to a day before, or even longer.
"Don't worry! Dad will definitely save you!" Xu Yi carefully put away the birthday gift.
With a goal in his heart, Xu Yi was reinvigorated, rationality returning to his brain, he suddenly thought of a question.
Why did the Ancient God want to assassinate Xiaoyu?
Undoubtedly, Jason and Kayako appeared here because of the Ancient God's order, and after he thwarted them, the Ancient God even entered the scene personally.
Xu Yi's gaze fell on the desk, where Xiaoyu's drawings lay, as a work produced during the awakening of the "Peeker", this drawing must have something to do with a future prediction.
He picked up the drawing and examined it, frowning slightly.
The drawing was not even half finished, with only a rough outline that made it impossible to see clearly what it depicted.
Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of something and flipped the drawing over... From the clay figurine, it was apparent that Xiaoyu had a habit of naming things.
It was uncertain, however, if this habit persisted in her awakened state or if she named it after finishing the drawing.
Xu Yi's pupils sharply constricted because on the back of the drawing, in crooked letters, was written: "The Fallen God."
His brain raced... Why was only West of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse trying to tear through the barricades?
Why was the Ancient God able to squeeze out blood despite being bound by the Array?
Why instruct Jason to assassinate Xiaoyu, who possessed the Talent of the Peeker?
His body jolted because he suddenly thought of a possibility... the Ancient God was in the process of Possessing God!
This could explain why the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse hadn't fully attacked the defenses because it simply wasn't necessary; once God was Possessed, the defenses would become a joke.
The reason the Ancient God ordered Jason to assassinate Xiaoyu was to hide this secret; he surmised that other Peekers had likely been assassinated as well.

If there was something wrong with God himself, the sealing Array couldn't be trusted, hence the Ancient God could use his black blood to affect the outside world...
The more Xu Yi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He could hardly imagine the consequences of this; God, as the core force against the Ancient Gods, once turned, this apocalyptic war would have been entirely unnecessary.
"No! I must go and verify with God!"
Xu Yi dared not delay any further, and without even waiting to explain the situation to the approaching Lisa, he stimulated the dark Divine Power within him, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
