Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 490 - 464: The Cuckold of the Sky God

Before the ancient, mottled, and icy gateway stood two eerie figures.

These were two humanoid creatures, they wore no clothing, had limbs, trunks, and reproductive organs, some bloated and fat, like middle-aged men who regularly consumed fried foods, but unlike normal humans, their skin was smooth, devoid of any hair, only meat-pink patterns visible.

They stood one in front of the other, both facing forward, the "person" in front with its skull flipped open, the inner arm still vivid red, cupped in its hands, revealing what looked to be a fresh brain inside.

The one behind had the face of an old man, with a sallow complexion, eyes slightly open, filled with dullness and nihility, as if merely a walking corpse, an empty shell.

Yet this "shell" held a bone spoon in its hands, and in utter silence, spooned after spoon of the brain from the person in front into its own mouth, and then swallowed with an evidently labored "gulp".

With each swallow, a livelier look appeared on its face, the empty eyes also revealing a pleasure of enjoyment.

Tang Qi and the others made no move.

They remained in the posture they had upon arrival, not daring to make any adjustment, even Reina Svendun, in her excited state, felt the flames of insight into historical truths in her mind slowly extinguished by the icy cold as she listened to the eerie swallowing sounds a few meters away.

As an adventurer and archaeologist, Reina believed she had seen many strange and horrific sights.

But those past experiences, now combined with the scene before her, made her feel that her previous stereotypes about the "Mysterious Side" were about to be utterly shattered.

The Mysterious Side, a place where anything ghastly could exist.

At this moment, including Yucatan Assassin Timothy, everyone harbored a similar line of complaint in their hearts like Reina Svendun.

The breath of danger, like cool spider silk or a chilly wind, gently brushed their cheeks, slid into their clothes, and permeated deep into their bones through the skin.

Their own rich experience in exploration allowed them to tacitly remain still.

They all noticed that the two "guards" seemed to be engrossed in the ecstasy of "eating brains" and "being eaten," completely ignoring the invaders not far away, or perhaps their senses were indeed that dull.

As they stood motionless, the danger did not escalate.

Tang Qi’s gaze focused intently, the ghost light more intense than when he looked upon the "Eight-eyed Gate," coalescing into a special vision.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Brain Eaters.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: Monsters born from the gene splicing of Ancient Mayans with Exotic Realm Evil Species within the "Goddess’ Womb," normally appearing as companion entities, with the main body responsible for eating, and the subsidiary body being eaten. As long as undisturbed, they will remain in this cycle for life.]

[Information Fragment Two: Once the cycle is broken, the Brain Eaters will explode, releasing both genetic and spiritual pollution... consequences unknown.]

...

Bang bang bang!

As clusters of information fragments burst in his mind, Tang Qi suddenly felt danger escalating rapidly, not from the information he had seen but from someone’s "Abnormal Movement" at that moment.

It wasn’t the expected move from Extraordinary Warrior "Haisen," but an old man from the Mamba Secret Medicine School.

As everyone else looked on in astonishment and confusion, the old man took a sudden step as if to attack the "Brain Eater."

His movement was fast, but another figure was faster.

Yucatan Assassin Timothy, his body swaying, and then the old man from the Mamba School trembled and silently collapsed, carried in Timothy’s hands without making a sound throughout the process.

Meanwhile, Tang Qi’s warning came from behind them.

"To the right, up above."

"Whoosh"

Almost instantaneously, the one who made a move was the Jungle Puppet Master, his "Nabopu Stone" silently transforming into a half-meter long, colorful lizard-like monster, spreading its transparent membrane wings, striking toward the area Tang Qi had indicated, revealing a huge head hanging there.

A layer of blood membrane wrapping filthy liquid, with rudimentary facial features emerging, a pair of black eyes staring at the group.

Boom!

A wave of potent hypnosis spiritual power swept over them, but they all merely trembled mentally, instantly dissolving the hypnosis, and then, with a "crack," the creature called "Dream Brain" was taken care of by the Puppet Master.

The process sounds complicated, but from start to finish, it was over within three breaths.

"These gathered monsters here are all related to the brain."

The crisis averted, Tang Qi’s gaze swept over, immediately noticing that the corridor they were in was quite different from before; the creatures either emerging or about to be born from the metallic pipe-membranes all unanimously had eerily abnormal brains.

While remaining on guard, they woke up the old man, whose previous attack was obviously due to the hypnosis from the "Dream Brain" creature.

As everyone was contemplating how to deal with the Brain Eaters and enter the second mural hall,

Tang Qi exhaled gently and advised, "Look at their feet."

Reina and the others followed the sound and arrived at the feet of the two human figures.

Soon they realized that the Brain Eater was actually moving, just at an extremely slow pace, even slower than a snail, judging by the width of the portal. It would probably take at least ten minutes for them to leave.

In this extremely dangerous place, wait for ten minutes?

No one knew if that was a good choice.

Tang Qi did not utter a second hint, although at the bottom of his eyes, an Information Fragment was emerging.

This fragment materialized several dozen breaths later when everyone was becoming a little anxious from waiting.

Accompanied by a harsh noise, the main body of the Brain Eater was scraping the inside of the subordinate’s skull with a spoon, stuffing the last bit of brain into its mouth, and swallowed it with a "gulp".

The Phantom quietly appeared, twisting and stretching.

When people looked again, the Brain Eaters were at the end of the corridor.

They slowly transitioned from Nihility to reality, and inside the empty skull of the subordinate, fresh brain pulp was swaying and overflowing, solidifying, a new round of feeding was about to begin.

"Let’s go!"

Reina Svendun didn’t waste a moment, as soon as she sensed the dangerous aura disappear, she pushed open the stone door. Accompanied by a "clicking" sound, the hall’s portal opened wide, and black dust similar to "impact ash" swept out from within.

But this did not stop the group from entering the hall to observe the second Origin Mural.

"This kind of urgency and anticipation feels like the readers of comics and novels when waiting for updates. The difference is, even if we are satisfied with what we see, we cannot find anyone to reward, if the copyright owners now come out, they are probably going to be met with our attacks."

Standing again in the empty hall, Tang Qi couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander.

Just like the first mural hall, it was filled with dignity, seemingly able to isolate any Monster invaders, but apart from the dense murals, there was nothing else.

Tang Qi and the others did not need anything else; the moment they stepped inside, their gaze immediately swept over the four walls.

From left to right, this is the order to view the murals, as already known from the first hall.

Everyone originally thought that after viewing the Origin Portion, the murals would depict the "Rise Volume" next, showcasing how the Ancient Maya gradually conquered most of the Yamada Jungle under the leadership of those dozens of ancestors who gradually achieved Divine status.

But at this moment, what they saw was unexpectedly different.

The painter was still the Wisdom God "Kels", and as his power increased, his painting skills became even stronger, clearly showing everyone... Divine chaos.

Tang Qi originally wanted to describe it with another more stimulating word, but thought better of it.

Here, the main characters of each mural are the dozens of Divine beings from the Maya God System.

Their daily lives, Hunting, or indulging in pleasure.

Reina Svendun, in this moment, fully demonstrated her understanding of the "Ancient Maya", effortlessly identifying all the Divine beings and the stories behind them.

At the same time, she vividly explained that even Divine beings of the same lineage were divided into three factions due to differences in character and power.

Among them, the faction where Sky God Ivanab was the strongest.

The faction crowned as the "Beast God Clan" was the weakest.

Regardless of the faction, the relationships were all very indecent, chaotic, and strange.

But Tang Qi and his party were not surprised or shocked.

Skipping over those exaggerated stories, Tang Qi’s gaze suddenly converged on one particular panel.

It depicted the birth story of the "Hunting and Fertility God," Sersi.

Sky God Ivanab’s wife, Bamor, was the Goddess with the Divine Position of the "Moon". She had a dispute with her husband over "how long should the Moon shine upon the earth?" and angrily left the Divine Realm to enter the original Holy Land.

Due to her anger and sadness, she ignored her husband’s pleas behind her.

She entered the Holy Land, causing the Moon to disappear, and the Sun kept shining on the Mayan kingdom. Countless Mayans died as a result, until after nine days, when Bamor emerged from the Holy Land with a baby in her arms.

The baby’s upper body was beautiful, but its lower half was a disgusting and unsettling bat, with a pair of small blood-red wings on its back.

The Moon Goddess announced to the Gods that this was her daughter, her name was "Sersi," and that she would always be sheltered by the moonlight.

It’s just a pity that due to her unorthodox birth and ugly appearance, Sersi was despised by the Sky God and most of the Divine beings.

...

"So, this Hunting and Fertility Goddess was born after the Moon Goddess put a green hat on the Sky God?"

As the story continued, Tang Qi first froze in shock.

Then, his gaze fiercely focused on that panel of the mural, and the unmissable "Holy Land", where the traces of the spaceship were no longer visible, only a dark, seemingly all-devouring black Heavenly Pit remained.
