Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Thanks, Ex-Husband Bro!

The Silent Hill incident concluded here.

This incident had quite a big impact, at least showing the federal government the dangers of cults.

Fake cults that just swindled money were one thing, but the real ones could really stir things up!

It was just that New Centrelia was a small, remote city with a total population of only a little over a hundred thousand, which was why the impact wasn't too widespread.

Consequently, the FEA launched a nationwide sweep of cult organizations, getting rid of the fake ones and making a killing financially.

They didn't manage to take down many real cults, though. These organizations reacted incredibly fast, abandoning their peripheral forces and going underground, becoming true secret societies.

Elise's severed arm completely healed with Raphael's music, and Crowlia also fully recovered.

Raphael's healing ability actually worked on silicon-based lifeforms, truly worthy of being called the Angel of Healing.

Elise and Raphael left soon after; they still had a lot of things to do.

Misty and Wendy learned from Roy that Ophelina had hidden herself and didn't dare to show up, so they also said their goodbyes, wanting to find a quiet place to live in seclusion.

Roy had a good impression of these two witches, so he suggested they find a place to live near Texas, far from the East Coast.

Misty and Wendy agreed, but they weren't used to modern transportation, so it would probably be the latter half of the year by the time they reached the Southern Coast.

So, Roy left them his contact information and gave them a cell phone, making it easier to stay in touch.

On a side note, the blonde police officer and Rose both survived, and Rose also found her other daughter, Shirley. This was compensation Alessa had left for her in advance.

What happened afterward was no longer Roy's concern. He was currently celebrating this great victory with the little witches.

As for how to celebrate, of course, it had to be a unique kind of party!

The four witches of the Apocalypse Society gathered together, each wearing cool school uniforms, contributing to environmental protection and preventing the greenhouse effect through practical action.

Carrie was actually extremely uncomfortable with this kind of party, but she was the main character tonight, so she just had to bite the bullet.

Fortunately, the other three little witches were very friendly, but they seemed to be constantly trying to get Carrie and Roy together, which made Carrie feel a bit uneasy.

If you were to ask if Carrie had any feelings for Roy, the answer was definitely yes.

After all, Roy's charm alone was enough to make girls weak in the knees, not to mention that Roy had appeared in Carrie's dreams multiple times and helped her.

But Carrie's inferiority complex made her afraid to believe that she could be with the male god in her heart.

Roy saw through Carrie's mindset. This girl was truly different from the other little witches of the Apocalypse Society, and even different from most American girls. She was quite similar to Needy's personality.

But Carrie was even more insecure than Needy because she had been truly ordinary before, not good at anything at all.

Needy at least had a knack for electronic and mechanical things and was fearless when surfing the web.

So, Roy took the initiative and hugged Carrie, who immediately turned as red as a persimmon.

Madison immediately started cheering, and Maria followed suit. With those two hyping things up, Carrie's face instantly started steaming, as if her whole body was about to catch fire.

Seeing this, Roy quickly stopped Madison and Maria's antics.

"Alright, that's enough! Give me and Carrie some private space. It's her first time!"

Hearing that, Madison rolled her eyes.

"First time how... Mmph!"

Zoe covered Madison's mouth and pulled back. Compared to Madison, who was a former child star, this girl was better at reading the room.

"Roy, you two take your time. I'll go out for drinks with the others first! Come find us after Carrie is done!"

Saying that, Zoe forcibly dragged Madison and Maria out, not forgetting to give Roy a wink before leaving.

The room instantly quieted down, but the blush on Carrie's face didn't fade. Instead, it seemed to be turning a shade of purple.

Roy thought there was something wrong with Carrie's body and quickly released her to check on her. Unexpectedly, Carrie suddenly rolled her eyes, and then her body trembled violently.

The scent of the ocean instantly filled the room.

[Ding! Obtained Carrie's Conquest Treasure Chest! Open?]

Roy's mouth fell open. He hadn't expected this at all. Was she that sensitive?

If just touching and hugging caused this reaction, what would happen when things got real?

Helplessly, Roy could only carry Carrie to the bed to let her recover.

Just then, Roy heard Carrie's voice, like she was talking in her sleep.

"Roy, am I still dreaming?"

Looking at the dazed Carrie, Roy stroked her hair.

"No, you're not dreaming right now. This is the real world."

Carrie buried her head in Roy's chest and rubbed against him.

"Actually, even if I were dreaming, I hope this dream never ends!"

Roy kissed Carrie's forehead.

"Our sweet dream will never end, you don't need to worry!"

"Mm!"

Carrie hugged Roy around the waist and closed her eyes. Her meaning was very clear.

Roy was especially gentle tonight. After all, Carrie had suffered too much damage, and Roy didn't want her to feel any more pain.

But that one thing was inevitable, so Carrie still furrowed her brow.

Fortunately, Carrie's endurance, having been tested by fate, had become incredibly strong. However, she still shed tears—tears of happiness.

Carrie was truly particularly sensitive, perhaps like her inner self, easily hurt but also easily moved.

And so, under Roy's gentle care, Carrie kept rolling her eyes, never coming down from the clouds.

The celebratory fireworks kept going off, one after another, like a massive flood.

Roy really wanted to call Carrie the Dragon King and tell her to stop using her powers. If this kept up, Madison's apartment would be completely submerged and overwhelmed.

"Ah—"

Luckily, after the last high-pressure water jet that shot straight to the ceiling, Carrie lost consciousness.

Roy quickly wrapped Carrie's body in a relatively dry blanket to prevent her from catching a cold from the 'tide'.

However, this was the first time Roy had obtained both a Destiny Treasure Chest and a Conquest Treasure Chest from the same person, which was quite rare.

After leaving the bedroom, Roy noticed the three little witches drinking and excitedly discussing something.

"What are you guys talking about that's so exciting?"

Seeing Roy come out, Madison jumped up and hugged him, answering him in a slightly drunken voice.

"Hehe! We were just talking about the traditions of the Apocalypse Society!"

This made Roy a bit curious.

"Traditions? What traditions?"

Maria answered Roy on behalf of Madison.

"Madison said that any witch who wants to join the Apocalypse Society in the future must first be tested by you before they can become a member."

Roy's mouth twitched, and he patted Madison's taillights with dissatisfaction.

"What kind of ridiculous tradition is that!"

Madison looked up, revealing a particularly strange smile.

"Ridiculous tradition? But I feel like the mast seems to be..."

This girl, Madison, always spoke such blunt truths, making Roy extremely embarrassed.

"That's a natural reaction because you're rubbing against me! It has nothing to do with that tradition!"

Madison winked at Roy and licked her lips.

"So, should I thank you for the compliment?"

That look was incredibly provocative, causing Roy to instantly become "enraged," and he directly pressed her down onto the sofa.

"Bitch, I'm going to punish you!"

Tonight's Mt. Akina downhill race had three high-performance sports cars participating. The first one was the Madison, which had a fast starting speed but average cornering speed and insufficient endurance.

Before even entering the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns, the Madison had problems with its fuel tank due to its excessive initial acceleration, leading to massive oil leakage and withdrawing from the race.

The second car was the Zoe, which had balanced performance in all aspects but had serious safety hazards.

The Zoe's stability was indeed excellent, smoothly passing through the relatively simple initial section of the track and entering the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns.

However, due to the driver's rough handling, the Zoe's radiator had problems during the final sprint. Boiling water sprayed everywhere, like a sprinkler.

The last participating sports car was the Maria, which had a hidden engine in the back.

The Maria, having another engine named Allan, had terrifying endurance when used alternately. Even if the driver stood up and pedaled the entire time, it could still hold up.

Whether it was the initial section of the track, the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turn, or even the final straight sprint, Maria and Allan, this pair of sisters, persevered and became the ultimate victors.

And the prize for the victors was Roy's holy water.

However, Roy didn't forget the other two hardworking participants. He aimed for equal distribution, but the largest portion still went to the victor, Maria.

Roy wiped his sweat. The weather in May was already a bit hot, but Roy didn't turn on the air conditioning, mainly because he was afraid the girls would catch a cold.

But seeing the happy expressions on the faces of the four witches of the Apocalypse Society, Roy felt that his hard work was worthwhile.

After petting the four American Shorthair cats that were a bit sticky from the 'rain', Roy was also ready to open his boxes.

Currently, Roy had six unopened treasure chests, and none of them were ordinary chests. Roy had a premonition that tonight might be a big explosion.

First was Pyramid Head's Destiny Treasure Chest.

[Opening Pyramid Head's Destiny Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 3 Strength attribute points!]

[Gained 4 Constitution attribute points!]

[Obtained Executioner Blade (Great Knife)!]

It dropped! The first treasure chest dropped something!

[Executioner Blade: A melee weapon from Silent Hill's Pyramid Head. Each time a life is executed, the strength and power of this blade will increase.]

Roy took out the Executioner Blade from his inventory. This long blade looked like an elongated cleaver, with a blade length of one and a half meters, looking very intimidating.

It would be very difficult for an ordinary person just to pick up this blade; only those with enough strength could wield this deadly weapon.

When holding this blade, Roy gained a special ability called Execution. Only by killing creatures with this ability could the power of the Executioner Blade be enhanced.

Not bad, not bad. Roy's chainsaw sword was already broken. Raphael's ability could resurrect Carrie and heal Elise and Crowlia, but it couldn't repair the chainsaw sword.

This growing Executioner Blade could just fill that gap.

Next was the Doll Spider's Destiny Treasure Chest.

[Opening the Doll Spider's Destiny Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 2 Strength attribute points!]

[Gained 3 Agility attribute points!]

[Obtained Mysterious Doll!]

Mysterious Doll? Did he just disassemble the Doll Spider?

[Mysterious Doll: The essence condensed from countless lives killed by the Doll Spider, containing terrifying resentment and possessing flesh and blood like a real living being. Despite this, a doll is ultimately a doll; it is not a real life.]

Containing terrifying resentment means it has a certain magical foundation, and possessing flesh and blood like a real living being means it can be possessed.

This thing seems quite suitable as a temporary body for Lilith?

Roy took out the Mysterious Doll from his inventory. This thing looked similar to a mannequin in a store, but the surface texture was like a real person, even better than most people's skin.

He'd keep it for now and show it to Lilith when he returned to Waterfall Town.

Next was something rather outrageous: Crowlia's Conquest Treasure Chest.

[Opening Crowlia's Conquest Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 3 Agility attribute points!]

[Gained 2 Constitution attribute points!]

[Obtained Allspark!]

Hiss! He actually managed to get the Allspark?

[Allspark: A special energy used by Primus to create Transformers. Alpha Trion created an indestructible container to hold the Allspark, allowing this energy to be carried. Can create new silicon-based life forms!]

Roy didn't dare to take out the Allspark. On one hand, Bumblebee and Crowlia were just outside the villa, and it would be hard to explain if he took it out.

On the other hand, if he took this thing out and turned all the household appliances in the villa into silicon-based lifeforms, that would also be a problem.

This was also a good item, but unfortunately, it wasn't useful for the time being. At least Optimus Prime would have to come to Earth before Roy could trade this with him.

Very good, he had now gotten items from three consecutive treasure chests. Tonight was indeed a night of harvest.

[Opening Carrie's Destiny Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 2 Memory attribute points!]

[Gained 2 Spirit attribute points!]

[Obtained Sin Fragment (Wrath)!]

Another Sin Fragment. With this one, Roy had three Sin Fragments, but he still didn't know how to use them, so they could only sit in his inventory gathering dust.

Roy directly opened the second of Carrie's treasure chests as well, saving the most important Samael treasure chest for last.

[Opening Carrie's Conquest Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 1 Memory attribute point!]

[Gained 1 Spirit attribute point!]

As expected, the second of Carrie's treasure chests didn't yield any items, and the attribute points were also halved.

Here came the main event: the Destiny Treasure Chest of the King of Wrath, one of the Seven Demon Lords of Hell!

[Opening Samael's Destiny Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 10 Strength attribute points!]

[Gained 10 Agility attribute points!]

[Gained 10 Constitution attribute points!]

[Obtained Special Ability: Blood Surge!]

As expected of his ex-husband bro, he was generous, directly giving 30 physical attribute points and a special ability.

Just as Roy was about to check the attributes of this new special ability, he heard a new system prompt.

[Special Ability Berserk and Special Ability Blood Surge have merged into Blood Fury!]

A new ability merged with an old one as soon as it dropped?

However, the ability Berserk was indeed obtained from the King of Wrath's followers. The two abilities were indeed in the same series, so it didn't seem strange that they could merge.

[Blood Fury: Burn the blood in your body to enter a terrifying state of frenzy.

Passive Ability: Can absorb blood to recover your state and manipulate blood in combat.

Active Ability: Instantly clear control effects on yourself and cause all surrounding enemies to enter a bleeding state. Burn your own blood to gain a power boost. The intensity of the power boost depends on the damage received; the more severe the injury, the greater the power boost.]

Hiss! Why does this ability sound so much like a Berserker's skill in DNF?

So Samael is actually a Red Dog? That seems quite fitting!
