Chapter 164 Party
Chapter 164 Party
All demons deserve to die.
If there was a button in front of him that could kill all the demons, he would press it without hesitation.
But if there was only one button in front of him that would only lead to Freya's death, he would not press it.
Because now and for a long time to come, it would be better for him if Freya were alive.
The fourth test is ideals and dreams. This test will reveal the goals that the person taking the test most wants to achieve in his or her heart.
But Howard was sure that this was not what he wanted to see. After seeing this scene, he did not feel happy, but felt fear and cold.
There must be... there must be something wrong... somewhere I'm not aware of.
Howard buried his head deeper, as if submerging his entire face in cold well water. He closed his eyes and imagined himself slowly sinking in the quiet water. The deeper he went, the less light could shine through the surface into the water, and the darker and colder the water became. The answers to all his questions lay in the deepest darkness at the bottom of the well where no light could reach.
Gradually, fatigue surged into Howard's brain, his eyelids felt heavy as if they had weighed a thousand pounds, and he closed them uncontrollably.
Before he was completely swallowed by fatigue, his brain used up its last bit of strength to issue a warning: this was not fatigue at all, but a sign of severe lack of oxygen, and he was not in a well anymore.
"Aha!"
Howard suddenly raised his head and gasped for breath. The fresh air filled his lungs, and his head, which was severely lacking in oxygen, felt dizzy.
And his hair seemed to be dripping with water as if it had just been fished out of a well. That was his cold sweat.
"Is it over?" Freya looked at Howard in confusion. "This kind of game only brings some excitement when you're completely passed out. It's boring to give up halfway."
Then He opened His arms to Howard and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you. You can do whatever you want."
"Don't!" Howard raised his hand to make a blocking gesture to express his refusal, but he almost lost his balance because of this action. He staggered back a few steps before avoiding falling.
Howard was almost suffocated by the facial cleanser. He bent over and his chest heaved violently due to breathing.
Something was wrong, very wrong. No matter what, Howard didn't want to stay in this weird place.
So after he calmed down a little, Howard immediately asked Freya to take him away from here, and Freya did not refuse.
The trials representing vanity were similar, but in the trial representing tranquility, what greeted Howard was no longer a wooden cabin in the snow, but a grassland full of white and yellow flowers, with a two-meter-long pit dug in the center of the grassland.
Hmm... it's a good time to lie down in the pit.
Walking through the flower-filled grassland, Freya and Howard finally arrived in front of Slaanesh's throne.
The last time I came to the throne, it was located under an apple tree, but now the scenery around the throne has changed and turned into an endless wine pool.
It seems that with Slaanesh's ability, it is very easy to change the surrounding scenery according to his own wishes. No matter what the surroundings become, the place where Slaanesh's throne is located is the center of the palace.
The depth of the wine in the pool was just enough to cover Howard's calves. Freya and Howard were not the only two visitors in the pool. On the contrary, the throne of Slaanesh was bustling with activity.
A grand party was being held here. Ordinary lovemaking between men and women was considered a form of entertainment that was not worthy of public display. Howard saw someone being stripped naked and tied to an interrogation rack made of thorns. A group of people around her cut off their own hands and used her body as a canvas to paint patterns, or carved designs on it with a knife.
He saw living people being pushed into huge millstones, and the blood plasma being poured into towers of high-heeled glasses for guests to drink.
The highlight of the party was the six circles surrounding the central throne. New people or demons kept joining, and dead bodies were constantly thrown out of the circles.
Countless human bodies wriggled like maggots in a cesspool, making one nauseous.
Erotica can bring pleasure to people within a certain range. After all, humanity's time out of ignorance is much shorter than its time in it. When humans were no different from beasts, the ultimate purpose of life was to pass on one's genes. Therefore, genes rewarded the act of reproduction at the highest level.
However, once it deviates from a reasonable scope and erotic behavior is not beneficial or even harmful to reproduction, this reward mechanism will turn into a punishment mechanism, making normal people feel disgusted and fearful.
At this time, there were naked bodies everywhere around him and obscene laughter could be heard everywhere, but Howard did not feel happy. He could clearly feel that every cell in his body was resisting this environment. He clenched his teeth, and his muscles were as stiff as stones. Even every breath he took was a careful inhale and a slow exhale.
Freya led Howard through the crowd of lewd people. He seemed to be accustomed to this lewd party. He was not scared by the crazy and arrogant behavior of the party members, but he had no interest in joining in.
Perhaps as the top-level Slaanesh Daemon, this kind of play that seemed outrageous to Howard was still child's play to him, so he had no interest in participating. Just like on the Blood Angels' spaceship, his subordinates were also holding a party, but he was just lying on the bed of corpses drinking boredly.
When Freya and Howard just entered the party, some blind or crazy people and demons came to Freya and even Howard to ask for interaction, and then were cut in half by Freya without even looking at them. After more than ten people died in succession, the other members of the party realized that Freya was not here to play, so the following party members avoided Freya and Howard intentionally or unintentionally. However, there were still some party members who were having fun and blocked Freya's way, and were then killed by Freya.
Including the six daisy rings, Freya simply burned a small part of the daisy ring into ashes and took Howard through. After all, in this party, death was not something to be surprised about.
Finally, after passing through six daisy rings, Freya brought Howard to the throne of Slaanesh.
At this time, a handsome man like a marble statue was leaning lazily on the throne, and the only one who could sit on the throne of Slaanesh was Slaanesh himself.
When Slaanesh was first seen, his body was closer to that of a woman, but this time his body was closer to that of a man. His skin was white, and his muscles were well-defined and graceful, but he was not as big as a rock like an overly muscular man. He was shirtless, surrounded by many banshees, who sang for the Lord of Pleasure like birds, pleasing their master.
Freya knelt respectfully before Slaanesh and said, "My Lord, I have brought the man back."
