In the clown's terrified gaze, a barrier suddenly enveloped the constantly clamoring clown.
The clown's painful screams echoed within the barrier radiating a sacred aura, its body gradually shrinking, and its voice becoming increasingly weaker.
"I will destroy it here forever; it will never appear in this town again."
Rhode glanced at the worried individuals, his voice calm, yet carrying a confidence that inexplicably inspired trust.
Wells and the others, who were initially concerned, gradually felt their unease dissipate upon hearing Rhode's assurance.
If it were anyone else, they would undoubtedly be skeptical.
However, facing this man who effortlessly suppressed the clown, leaving the monster in despair.
Even Nige, the most unconvinced among them, harbored no doubts in his heart.
Let alone merely destroying this evil spirit, even if Rhode were to declare himself the reincarnation of God, he would believe it unconditionally.
"Thoroughly purifying this fellow will take a little time; you guys are just getting in the way here."
Rhode glanced at them and directly began to shoo them away.
After all, he was about to transform this clown into his own alchemical apostle.
He couldn't allow these guys to witness the process.
Wells and the others looked at the sealed clown.
Its weakened state seemed to suggest that it couldn't stir up any trouble and would be eliminated sooner or later.
It seemed they were indeed just getting in the way by staying here.
After some discussion, the group slowly departed.
Before leaving, Wells wanted to express his gratitude to Rhode, but upon seeing those cold eyes, he didn't dare approach.
He could only reluctantly leave first.
As for expressing gratitude, it wouldn't be too late to do so later.
Chapter 123: You Must Have Been a Beaker in Your Previous Life!
After everyone left, Rhode's gaze turned to the clown within the barrier.
Without the support of fear, the clown's body gradually shrunk and withered.
In its current state, let alone killing someone, even a child could easily crush it to death.
"What do you want to do!"
Looking at Rhode slowly approaching, fear appeared on the clown's face. The monster that once instilled fear in others was now completely dominated by fear.
It could sense the terror of the human before it. If it were killed this time, perhaps it would never have another chance to revive.
"Don't be nervous; such good material as you would be a waste to die here."
"I will transform you into a more perfect masterpiece."
Rhode waved his hand and brought out a pile of alchemical materials. Fortunately, he had previously sacrificed the treasure vault guardian and obtained many rare materials.
Otherwise, he would have truly had a headache.
Augustus's Alchemical Golem Studies, combined with his integrated biology-infused Alchemical Golem Biology.
The wail lasted for a full half hour before gradually stopping.
Just when the clown thought it was over, it saw Rhode take out a crystal radiating intense soul fluctuations.
"You demon!"
A shrill, piercing scream came from the clown's mouth.
With just one glance, the clown judged the essence of this crystal.
Hundreds of thousands of human souls, fused together through unknown means.
Just this one fragment of soul crystal required the slaughter of at least tens of thousands of living beings to obtain.
Fear!
The clown couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably; this was fear from the bottom of its heart.
It thought it was already insane enough, but the demon before it was even more evil.
The number of people it had killed combined didn't even amount to a fraction of this bastard's total.
"Demon?"
Rhode smiled slightly, his face harmless.
To him, this was a compliment.
"Rest assured, my technique is very good; you won't feel any pain at all."
As alchemy was activated, the clown's twisted, fearful face slowly fused with the soul crystal fragment in his hand.
When everything calmed down, the originally clear and transparent soul crystal fragment had turned into a black sphere exuding darkness, fear, and despair.
Rhode slowly incorporated the sphere into the clown's transformed body.
Thump thump thump!
A low heartbeat sounded, and the tightly closed eyes instantly opened.
A clown with a comical yet terrifying smile on its face slowly stood up.
Looking at it was like seeing all the most terrifying things in the world; the feeling of fear from the soul made people tremble.
Rhode looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
This alchemical apostle not only inherited all of the clown's abilities, but also, in order to prevent it from losing combat power before absorbing enough fear power.
He endowed it with powerful magic and magical circuits when he fabricated this body.
A powerful physical body and a powerful soul.
Even in its normal state, its combat power could easily kill a giant.
Moreover, he also endowed this guy with the ability to cast illusions and transform.
The Headless Horseman's fear magic, coupled with the clown's own innate ability to arouse fear in others' hearts.
Even he would be affected if he wasn't prepared.
"Father!"
The clown after being transformed, with a comical makeup on its pale face and a simple clown outfit.
The seemingly comical and laughable smile, coupled with those gloomy eyes, instantly gave people a chilling sense of horror.
This kind of invisible strangeness was the most frightening thing.
"From now on, your name will be... Fear!"
Rhode looked at the clown and said with satisfaction.
The Fear Apostle could absorb the fear of others to strengthen itself. As long as it constantly spread fear, it could grow rapidly.
The more widespread the spread of fear, the more powerful its strength would be.
Moreover, even if it was killed, as long as the fear in people's hearts was not eliminated.
The Fear Apostle would one day be resurrected from a corner of this world.
The clown, having received its name, grinned, revealing a terrifying smile, its teeth as frightening as shark teeth, dripping with scarlet blood.
Rhode stroked his chin and fell into thought.
This apostle's ability was very strange, but which world to place it in for development was a problem.
He lacked a foundation in the Fairy Tale World and needed more manpower to cultivate talents for him.
However, it didn't seem to be of much use to put the Fear Apostle in the Fairy Tale World.
"Then let's put it in the real world."
After a little thought, Rhode decided to release the Fear Apostle in the real world.
Create fear, create urban legends!
Let the Fear Clown become the biggest urban legend in this world.
Once the Fear Clown's terrifying image spread throughout the world, Rhode couldn't even imagine how powerful this guy's strength would become.
Gathering the fear of a world into one body, perhaps even gods could be killed.
However, wanting to spread a terrifying legend throughout the world was not an easy task.
There were only a few ways to create fear, and the simplest was slaughter.
Letting the Fear Apostle massacre ordinary people to create panic was a bit too cruel.
However, letting it kill those damned villains was no problem.
There were too many damned but not dead sinners in this world; they were protected by power and wealth, and they enjoyed their sinful and luxurious lives with peace of mind.
Now, a punisher capable of sanctioning them had appeared.
"Go, kill those damned sinners, kill them under everyone's gaze!"
"Bring fear to this world, and make this world tremble for you."
Rhode reached out and placed his hand on the Fear Apostle's head. The calm command made the Fear Apostle tremble with excitement.
After all, its existence was to create fear.
"Okay, Father!"
With a strange smile on its face, the Fear Apostle's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Rhode's eyes flickered slightly. Just letting the Fear Apostle create fear by killing on its own was too slow.
If he wanted this urban legend to spread worldwide.
The easiest way, of course, was to make a wildly popular horror movie.
However, the cost of that would be a bit too high.
When he had time, he could try it out.
Returning to the car, Rhode found the atmosphere inside a bit strange.
Both women were looking at him with strange eyes.
There were no quarrels; on the contrary, they seemed a little more intimate than before.
Had these two guys reached some private agreement?
Rhode's expression was strange, but he didn't think too much about it, glancing at the dim sky.
He drove directly to send Vivian home first.
"Help me send Vera and Amy home; remember not to mess around on the way."
Vivian stood outside the car window, looking at Rhode inside the car with a wary expression.
When this bastard felt like it, he could do anything.
She wasn't worried about Vera; after all, she had already been eaten clean and wiped dry, so there would be no difference in doing it again.
Her only worry was that this bastard would make a move on Amy.
She didn't want all of her friends to be taken down by this bastard.
"Vivian!"
Amy, who was gradually recovering, blushed when she heard this, her eyes somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
Although her body was still a little stiff, her upper body was already about to regain the ability to move.
