Watching Nix walk away, Lind turned and went back to his current bedroom.
For the past two days, he has been holed up in the noble mansion in the city, studying some cult items he found in the church and the secret strongholds of priests.
It's important to understand that the scriptures of the Holy Church don't record too much knowledge about gods, but cults are different. They don't have these concerns. Ironically speaking, cult members are actually the group of people who have the most research into the essence of divine magic.
People in ordinary churches tend to act in accordance with the will and characteristics of God, while cultists are more like a group of gamblers who use evil gods to fulfill their own desires.
The only problem is that the bookmaker is an evil god; winning against them is highly unlikely.
After thoroughly studying the scriptures of these cults, Lind discovered some problems.
The doctrines of these cultists all state that all the gods of today, that is, all the righteous gods, have a opposite self, which is the relative evil god.
For example, the current God of Holy Light, Lord of the Light Veins, Lucius, is the opposite of the evil god of the Church of Blasphemy, named...
To be precise, it has no name, or rather, it is a cult in nature, and the deity cannot be spoken of.
Linde searched through all these books, but there wasn't a single one that explicitly stated the name of the evil god.
They are mostly expressed using substitute terms such as "god of dedication" or "god of blasphemy".
The name doesn't really matter; the main thing is that Linde only extracted one interpretation from it.
That is one god with two sides.
The idea that a deity has two sides is undoubtedly a great act of blasphemy for the orthodox church.
Lind discussed this issue with Leonis. She first touched Lind's forehead and then prayed for him, feeling that Lind might still be influenced by the cult.
She insisted that Linde pray to the Holy Spirit himself, and only after the purification spell came through did she feel relieved.
Therefore, Linde dared not bring up these controversial topics that might involve religious doctrines again.
But he could still do his research in secret and go about his business as usual, just keeping a little distance from Leonis.
To convince members of these orthodox churches that their God, while being pure, good, and beautiful, is also an evil god who commits numerous sins and leads people astray, is harder than climbing to heaven.
Linde, unlike the people of the continent of Tiel, was not rigid in his thinking. If what these cults said was true, things would get quite interesting.
Linde knew some of the gods' secrets, such as that the gods were either seriously injured or dead, and the existence of god-killing metal.
The secrets of the gods have always been what Linde values most, as they relate to his greatest foundation: the aura system.
Linde risked his life to obtain some blood samples from the evil god.
Yes, that's right. When Linde was fighting the evil god, he successfully obtained a large number of blood samples from the evil god's limbs using the remaining half of the god-slaying metal that had been modified into a dagger.
Linde looked at the container holding the blood sample of the evil god, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He knew that these samples might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the gods.
Linde took these samples from the mage's sleeve. The blood of these evil gods was similar in nature to the blood of the Light Vein God and was attached to the God-Slaying Metal.
Aside from the color being somewhat... indescribable.
It's hard to describe what color it is; it's green with hints of black, and black with a touch of purple—it's quite peculiar.
Linde activated his deconstruction aura and began to examine the blood sample.
The results came quickly.
Name: Fusion Divine Blood
Okay, now we have a name. Judging from the name, we should call Him... the God of Fusion?
Lind recalled His strange, pale limbs, and they certainly matched.
Linde continued, intending to investigate the background of this "God of Fusion".
Soon, Lind was immersed in a memory.
The memories of the God of Fusion.
In an instant, Lind felt an unbearable itch all over his body, as countless limbs and tissues burst forth from beneath his skin, layer upon layer, endlessly.
Layers upon layers of flesh and blood turned Lind inside out, a very unpleasant sensation.
Then, Linde felt as if he wasn't just himself, but that there were countless versions of himself inside him.
The feeling right now is as if Linde is made up of countless Lindes.
After a period of adjustment, Lind's discomfort gradually disappeared, and he began to return to himself.
"So, what you just experienced was the vision and sensation of the God of Fusion?"
Linde snapped out of his daze and decided to continue exploring the secrets of the evil god through blood.
At that moment, an extremely dangerous sense of being spied on arose.
Linde, the god of fusion, sensed the presence of danger!
What could possibly terrify a powerful evil god?
Before Linde could even figure out what was happening, the true form of the evil god seemed to have discovered the uninvited guest within its body.
A voice, composed of a thousand words, spoke:
[Who are you? ]
[You...aren't me?]
Then, right before Linde's eyes, the fused divine blood on the god-slaying metal evaporated in an extremely bizarre way, disappearing without a trace.
Linde also broke free from the memories provided by the deconstruction of the halo.
"Ugh... Ugh!"
The feeling of having just transmigrated into the body of an evil god made Lin De feel nauseous.
With the help of the activating aura, Linde took quite a while to recover.
"So, He just discovered us?"
"Does the God of Fusion have this effect? Even a mere fragment of His memory can be discovered by Him?"
This reminded Lind of the doctrines of the Consecration Order, specifically the magical characteristics of the God of Consecration, also known as the God of Fusion.
Everything in all things is His existence.
By returning His existence to Him, you will receive His blessings and divine body.
Based on the clues Linde found in the doctrines over the past two days, the God of Fusion should be the opposite of the life god worshipped by the elves.
Thus, the god of life bestows life and vitality upon all living beings.
The God of Fusion merges flesh and bones into one.
After reaching this conclusion, Linde's thinking began to diverge.
"If all the gods in this world are two sides of the same coin, then there would be countless factions within cult organizations."
"Speaking of which..."
"In the memories of the God of Fusion, He seemed very afraid, as if He was hiding from something."
What could possibly threaten a god?
Even if it's just an evil god, it's still a god.
Other gods? Like the god of life?
Linde had no way of knowing the answer to this question, and he was thinking about whether he could use the blood obtained from the evil god to strengthen the system and aura.
It seems like that's all off now.
Linde leaned back comfortably in the soft chair and put away the God-Slaying Metal.
"There's no chance with the evil god. We'll just have to see if we can get some divine blood from the Holy Temple."
