The swaying red wine glass, the decadent dance party.
Nomu went from simply digesting the magic potion in his body to becoming intoxicated with it. For several days, he followed Shanlin in drunkenness and dreaming.
Shanlin was like a seductive fox who would always whet his appetite at the last moment, which made Norm feel itchy.
The night of the third day.
After the two danced a song, compared to the elegant and gentle classical dance in the hall, the current heavy metal rock and roll was more energy-consuming. The two breathed heavily and walked to a booth aside to rest.
After a moment of rest, Norm said: "Shanlin, I think I'm in love with this feeling."
Shanlin smiled: "Me too"
At this time, the lights and music in the dance hall suddenly went out, and darkness drowned all the noise.
Pa~
The strong and dazzling lights suddenly turned on. Norm knelt down on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand: "I love you."
Shanlin stood up suddenly, her eyes gleaming, she opened her mouth but no words came out.
"Oh, oh, oh," someone started shouting, louder and louder than heavy metal music.
"Are you willing to accept me like this?" Shanlin asked.
Norm glanced around and said loudly: "Why not, I love you, I am willing to accept everything about you, no matter it is the past, present, or future, I love you."
But Norm, who was in the midst of his affectionate confession, didn't notice that many people present were looking at him strangely.
For the first twenty years of his life, he was bound by rules, but Shanlin allowed him to see a different kind of excitement.
Rebellious, crazy, and wanton.
Kissing and hugging, they left the dance amidst the roar of the crowd.
Noam pulled Shanlin to the rooftop.
In the starry sky, under the stars, the two of them cuddled together. Norm's hand began to move slowly downward from his waist.
"Don't~"
Norm was pushed away violently, and he looked at Shanlin in shock.
Shanlin's face looked slightly angry, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice: "Do you think I am the same as them?"
"No, no, Shanlin, you misunderstood. How could I miss you so much?" He raised his hand and promised, "I swear."
When Shanlin saw this, the expression on her face relaxed a little, and she gently hugged Norm's shoulders, her voice as soft as a mosquito's moan: "Can I give it to you after I get married?"
The moonlight reflected her face, which seemed shy and timid. Norm's Adam's apple squirmed and she turned her head away, not daring to look again for fear that she would not be able to control herself.
In the mud full of dirt and filth, a holy flower bloomed suddenly. Its lethality was terrifying, and it was fatal to a clergyman like Norm who was inexperienced in the world.
As time went by, the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger, and finally one day Shanlin took the initiative to say:
"Let's get married!"
Norm was as excited as a child that day. He held Shanlin in circles and excitedly introduced every passerby he met: "This is my wife, we are getting married."
He wanted to share this news with the world.
The wedding was held in the Isamotte Church, and Nomu was the most potential extraordinary person in the church.
There were many guests at his wedding, including Shanlin's friends.
Norm stood outside the church, looking awkward and uneasy. He approached Shanlin and asked softly:
"Those people won't mess around!"
Shanlin's face, which was originally painted with delicate makeup, instantly fell down: "Norm, what do you mean, are you looking down on my friend?"
"No, no, no, no~" Norm apologized with an anxious look, but in fact, he really didn't want those people to come to his wedding.
After all, the identities of those people may sound ugly, but they cannot be put on the stage.
A group of guys who would take off their clothes and walk around at the dance. He was really afraid of accidents.
The more people fear something, the more likely it will come.
Nearly half of the senior officials of the Church of Light came to attend the wedding. These were senior investigators who were active in the capital city of Islandon.
The moment the church door closed, what was waiting was not the wedding, but the long-planned conspiracy of the Mechanical Church.
At the same time, an undercurrent spread throughout the Principality of Isamotte began to surge.
The scene of the senior investigator being imprisoned in Istlanton appeared in many places at the same time.
The followers of the Mechanicus attacked the goddess of light's strongholds one after another.
Norm's eyes widened and he looked at Shanlin in disbelief and asked: "Why?"
Shanlin was surrounded by people, many of whom Norm had met at the dance.
They laughed at them with all their might.
"Why, Abu, tell him why."
The jeers instantly drowned out the noisy words around him.
"A Sequence 7 round dancer, the youngest deacon of the Church of Light, bah, with a little bit of tricks, it's not like holding a hand."
In Norm's shocked eyes, a box appeared in Shanlin's hand, and she opened it without hesitation.
It was the latest weapon developed by the Mechanicus Church. In just an instant, the senior investigators at the scene lost their ability to resist.
One by one, their former companions had their necks slashed, and their blood stained the church hall red.
One of the members of the Church of the Machinery held a knife with a cold glow in his hand. He smiled evilly and slowly walked towards Nomu who was in a daze.
Shanlin shouted excitedly at this time: "You promised me not to touch him."
She stopped in front of Norm. The originally white wedding dress was dyed red by blood.
"Abu, did I hear you correctly? What are you talking about?"
"You promised me to let him go."
Shanlin's words were like a thunder, awakening Norm from his sleep. He looked up at her and said with a trembling voice: "Shanlin, you were coerced by them, right?"
Shanlin lowered her head, as if she was deliberately avoiding Nomu's gaze.
The man opposite looked sarcastic and said mockingly: "Forcing, haha, I don't think you are falling in love with a woman, do you?"
He grabbed Shanlin's wedding dress with his hand, and with a little force, after a 'squeak' sound, a large area of fair skin was exposed.
He tore Shanlin's clothes wantonly and crazily.
Under the robe, there were no features of a woman, and her originally proud breasts were just a piece of special underwear.
"Abu, show him your manly features, haha"
"I love you, I want to marry you, yo yo yo~ It's so touching."
"Not to mention, Abu's face is really pretty. If I didn't know he was a man, I wouldn't be able to help it..."
Shanlin's shouts seemed so insignificant amidst the ridicule of the people around her.
"No, no~"
No one cares about his pain, no one pays attention to his begging.
Just like that, in front of everyone, his clothes were stripped off piece by piece.
Shanlin's face was covered with tears and fear.
"Norm, don't look at me, don't look at me"
Her hands were simply not enough to cover the parts of her body that needed to be covered, so she could only desperately crawl to the corner to keep herself in Nome.
Nomu froze on the spot, his eyes were dull, and his pupils lost focus.
"You are a man, you are a man"
In his mouth, he repeated one sentence over and over again.
The scene has been completely controlled by the Mechanicus. They are like a group of spectators, enjoying a good show performed by Norm and Shanlin.
"No, I'm not, I'm not, Norm, just wait for me, just wait for me, I will soon become a complete woman."
Shanlin's hair was disheveled and her face looked extremely scary. She stretched out her hand and caressed her lower abdomen.
She responded with a sneer: "You turned into a woman, you idiot. There is no magic like that. It's all a lie."
Shanlin's ferocious face became very excited:
"No, you didn't lie to me. It was true. I heard that voice."
Everyone thought Shanlin couldn't bear the insult and became crazy.
However, after she said those words, the gas lamp on the church ceiling suddenly went out.
Shanlin's belly expanded rapidly at an exaggerated speed, and black viscous substance flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. This liquid soon covered his whole body, and the characteristics of a woman gradually appeared.
"Norm, look, am I beautiful now? I have become a complete woman. Let's continue with the wedding, okay?"
Shanlin's voice was originally somewhat neutral, but now it was hard to distinguish between male and female, as if two people were talking at the same time, and another figure came from his belly.
"What did you tell her?" Norm asked the stunned church members.
"Who knows what he is doing? Do it. He is contaminated and cannot let that thing come out."
A face was printed on Shanlin's lower abdomen. Although the outline of her facial features was blurry, she could tell that it was a person.
He was struggling inside Shanlin's body, as if he wanted to pierce her belly and get out.
At some point, people from the Church of the Machinery had surrounded her. They each took out a delicate small box from their arms and opened it together.
Suddenly, a dazzling and bright light burst out from the box and pierced Shanlin's face.
After the light passed, the light that could suppress the senior investigators did not cause any harm to Shanlin.
In a sense, Shanlin at this time can no longer be regarded as a person, but a container, coming from unknown power, making him extremely powerful.
Shanlin didn't pay attention to the people who surrounded her. Her face was full of irritation, her face was twisted and deformed, and the face on her belly seemed to feel her emotions.
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing cry of a baby burst out.
"Am I beautiful now?"
Shanlin smiled and slowly crawled towards Norm. At this time, her lower body had turned into a spider-like shape, leaving ravines on the floor as she walked.
The corners of her mouth were split to both sides, all the way to her earlobes and frontal bones, and bulging cysts appeared on the skin of her forehead. After a "plop" sound, the cysts burst open, and one eye after another came out, densely covering the entire face. .
Beautiful you...Mom. Norm stepped back in panic, and almost couldn't hold back his curse words, wondering what kind of thing he was in love with before.
Even if you are a man, you are better than this.
Bah~
He wriggled his lips and let out a light 'tsk'. What was I thinking? It didn't matter that Shanlin was a man. I might have been contaminated too. Goddess' light, please save her.
Looking at Shan Lin approaching him, his face turned extremely pale.
Shanlin chased after him, only focusing on him, and didn't care about the congregants who wanted to escape.
"Norm, don't run away, how about we get married?"
His face was ugly, and he struggled to squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than crying:
"I'm going to pick up my father. How can our wedding be without the blessings of my family?"
As he spoke, Norm had already run to the closed church door, turned around to face Shanlin, but the hand behind him was pulling the door bolt hard.
"Really? Will dad like me?" Shanlin's tone became gentle, like a shy little girl.
Shanlin's emotions were soothed, and Noam secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wow~
A sharp cry suddenly exploded.
Shanlin's calm facial expression suddenly turned ferocious, she glared at Norm resentfully and roared:
"You lied to me. You have no family at all. You all lied to me. Die, die, die."
The hair on Shanlin's head fell off in large swaths. The eyeballs that originally only appeared on her face suddenly began to grow slender black hairs on her head. She looked more and more like a spider.
She touched her swollen belly and her voice was full of kindness:
"Only He will not lie to me. My child, please be born soon."
Wow~
The baby's cry seemed to be responding to Shanlin.
The sound this time was different from before, as if it was full of some unknown energy.
People who were still at the scene quickly discovered that something was wrong. The woman's body had the characteristics of a man, and the man's body had the characteristics of a woman.
The Adam's apple disappears and the voice becomes shrill.
"My body, my body"
"I became a woman, no, don't"
. . . .
Norm's eyes widened as he looked at his hand that was gradually turning white.
"It's the Mother Goddess, it's the Mother Goddess, she's been contaminated by the Mother Goddess," someone said in fear.
Seeing Shanlin's growing belly, everyone fell into despair.
The outcome of death seems to have been predetermined.
"Hey, guys from the Mechanicus Church, open the church's blockade quickly, or we will all die."
At this time, no one cares about the fighting between churches anymore. If you want to survive, you can only cooperate.
One of the men said with a determined expression:
"You must promise that after opening the blockade, you will not attack us."
Norm looked ugly, frowned, thought for a moment for two seconds, nodded and said: "I promise you, hurry up, it will be too late"
While he was talking, he had already seen Shanlin running towards him with a wide grin, as if she was seeing delicious food.
The thin light curtain that originally enveloped the church slowly dispersed under the opponent's operation.
At the moment it dissipated, the blocked aura surged out with an exaggerated momentum.
The Church of Light, located in Islamton, looks like a big open mouth from a height, with black matter rolling and spewing out, and indescribable terror inside trying to come out.
"Norm, don't leave, I want to have a baby with you"
He ran away with all his strength, but something stumbled on his feet. He fell forward and hit his head on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes became dizzy, and the objects in his sight turned into overlapping shadows.
Shanlin's eyes, which were originally full of eyes, became even more so at this moment.
Those who were close to Shanlin hugged each other and tore their clothes unconsciously.
That is pollution from the Mother Goddess, breeding, mating, and giving birth to life.
At this moment, a deep voice like muffled thunder exploded in the distance:
“The heretics shall be punished for their sins”
