The moment the Painter laid eyes on the Director, his bloodstained fingers began sweeping across the human skin. The aura he exuded was several times more terrifying than what he had shown back at the Psychic Ghost School.
Chen Ge also noticed something else—the Painter had once said he could only draw people. Yet now he was painting the Director without the slightest hesitation. In just a few seconds, the outline of a Malevolent God's figure had already taken shape on the skin.
Blood seeped and dripped from the image. The Painter seemed to have become a Malevolent God himself.
A power capable of turning the tide had appeared!
The Painter's strength was far inferior to Dr. Gao's or Zhang Ya's, but he possessed an utterly terrifying innate ability.
Although this ability could only be used a limited number of times and under extremely strict conditions, the hospital's Malevolent God was caught completely off guard and had no way to react in time.
By the time the Director felt his control over the curses weakening, the Painter's work was already half finished.
"Another Malevolent God!" The Director, who had been brimming with confidence, discovered that his power was being stripped away. He let out a furious roar: "Shut the Blood Door! Destroy that painting!"
The Eating Malevolent God and the Giant Monster Malevolent God both sensed that things had gone wrong, and they launched simultaneous assaults on Chen Ge's Blood Door.
On Chen Ge's side, things were equally frenzied—they threw everything they had at the door at the base of the hospital.
Starting with the "door," ending with the "door"—the focal point of the battlefield revolved around the two Blood Doors.
As the Malevolent Gods bore down, the Tunnel Female Ghost's son steeled himself and held his ground. His eight legs braced firmly against the floor, and one blood-soaked figure after another stepped out from behind the door.
Every red-clothed ghost from the Psychic Ghost School appeared in full force. Beyond them, the Ghost School's old principal had also let loose the calamities dwelling within Blood City.
Bolstered by the Psychic Ghost School's collective will, the army of red-clothed ghosts shielded the Painter.
With the final stroke, the Painter's power surged once more—he had successfully seized the Hospital Director's abilities.
For a Malevolent God, this was virtually inconceivable.
The hand with which the Director had been choking Zhang Ya in her hospital gown withered in an instant. His skin erupted with countless corpse spots, and the names cursed to death writhed across his body like venomous insects, turning against their master.
Seeing the Director weakened, Zhang Ya—who had been on the defensive this entire time—erupted.
Her black hair surged outward like a boundless ocean, spreading with near-infinite madness. Her eyes blazed crimson, and she stood upon a sea of blood, radiating an apocalyptic ferocity, determined to tear the Director to shreds.
The counterattack had only just begun, and the hospital itself was already on the verge of collapse.
Unattended, Dr. Gao attacked the Blood Door at the hospital's base with wild abandon. Crimson streaks began to appear across the door's surface, which was covered in countless curses.
Dr. Gao seemed to sense something. His cold gaze pierced straight through the door: "I know what's hidden behind it. After all these years, you still haven't given up."
Hearing his words, the Giant Monster carrying the hospital on its back immediately realized something was terribly wrong. He tried to intervene, but he was too late.
Dr. Gao seized the gap in the Giant's defenses and pulled chain after chain from within his own body—links stained red with blood and flesh.
Every chain was interwoven with sin and suffering. As the chains were drawn free, the sanity in Dr. Gao's eyes gradually faded. He had broken his own seals and was unleashing his full power!
No one had imagined Dr. Gao was still hiding such strength. A tidal wave of blood slammed into the hospital's door, cracking it wide open.
The Giant Monster Malevolent God and "Eating" tried to stop him, but the Painter and Chen Ge's side saw countless red-clothed ghosts step forward as one.
