A burst of orange-gray radiance flashed through He Ao's eyes.
Some invisible ripples in the void were slowly being guided towards He Ao's hands.
Perhaps due to a higher energy content, the process of the city 'absorbing' the remains of the main priest was much more complex this time, and the 'lines' pointing to the city were thicker.
Therefore, the process of He Ao guiding this line toward the yellow crystal in his hands was also slightly affected, slowing down a bit.
During the guiding process, He Ao also carefully observed what seemed to be some kind of 'sacrifice ritual'.
Essentially, the structure of the ritual for absorbing the 'main priest' was not much different from absorbing the remains of the Variants.
In the eyes of this city, this noble Mr. Main Priest wasn't much different from those Variants that transformed from the humble livestock he spoke of.
In a sense, this twisted state of the main priest was nothing more than a Variant with intelligence.
