The heavy iron door was pushed open, revealing a bloody man inside. He was tied to a wooden cross, his hands and feet were tangled in iron chains, and his face was covered with blood, so his features could not be seen clearly.
Su Mu frowned slightly: "Did you torture him?"
Nangong Mengli shook her head: "Without your order, how could we torture him? You may not believe it, but he tortured himself. We were afraid that he would kill himself, so we tied him up."
Torturing yourself?
Such a niche saying surprised Su Mu.
Bang!
Su Mu snapped his fingers, and the unconscious prisoner suddenly woke up. He seemed to have suffered some kind of stimulation, his eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast.
"You damn pagans, the great God of Pain will not let you go!" the prisoner roared excitedly.
The next moment, he actually bit off half of his tongue. The severe pain made his eyes bulge out, but then a look of pleasure mixed with pain appeared on his face.
Suddenly, his whole body was covered with an extremely evil black light, his muscles grew wildly like tumors, and the chains that bound him were actually broken directly.
At this time, he had completely turned into a humanoid monster.
However, neither Su Mu nor Nangong Mengli cared and continued chatting.
"This is the unique ability of their Cult of Pain. As long as you sacrifice pain to the God of Pain, you can gain power." Nangong Mengli explained.
At this time, the humanoid monster rushed towards the two.
Bang!
An invisible wall appeared in front of him and bounced him away.
Su Mu looked at it carefully: "An ordinary person hurt himself all over, and the power he gained in return reached about the Bronze III level. Interesting."
The humanoid monster had climbed up again, roaring and hammering the invisible wall frantically, but even though his hands were bloody, the wall was not shaken at all.
As he became more injured, the power he unleashed became even stronger.
"How many members are there in the Church of Pain now?"
"More than 10,000 people appeared in the Red Flame Empire. I investigated these people and found that they all had one thing in common, which was that they were living in extreme pain. Some had lost their loved ones, and some were suffering from illness.
I guess it was this kind of pain that attracted the attention of the God of Pain."
Nangong Mengli frowned slightly at the crazy humanoid monster, as if she was a little worried: "Although there are only more than 10,000 believers in the Pain God Cult at present, they are growing too fast. Almost every day someone says that they dreamed of the God of Pain and then became a believer.
They claimed that only the God of Pain could lead them out of the sea of suffering, and I even heard that miracles happened in some places!"
"Miracle?" Su Mu raised his lips: "What miracle?"
"The dead are resurrected." Nangong Mengli said in a deep voice: "A father's daughter was terminally ill and suffered from pain every day. In the end, she passed away. The father was heartbroken and kept praying to the gods. Finally, the god of pain responded to him and sent down a miracle.
His daughter was really resurrected, and this story spread widely, bringing a large number of potential believers to the Pain God Cult. The believers called it the [Pain Miracle]!"
"Resurrection of the dead?" Su Mu didn't believe that the evil god in the abyss would be so kind as to resurrect humans.
"Is there anything unusual after his daughter's resurrection?"
"The anomaly was covered up by the Cult of Pain, but through multiple investigations, I have confirmed that his daughter has turned into a monster, a monster that enjoys killing lives and causing pain."
Su Mu pushed his brown glasses, and a crystal blue light flashed in his eyes. He roughly understood that it seemed that his daughter had become a tool for the God of Pain to obtain pain.
“It’s a troubled time.”
Su Mu sighed slightly. Ever since Shangguan Chen sacrificed his life and summoned the power of the original angels to attack the Seven Kings' barrier, all kinds of strange things began to happen in the Shenmeng World.
Let’s not talk about the nightmare creatures that are invading everywhere, the real trouble is the evil god in the abyss!
Countless cracks appeared in the Seven Kings' barrier, causing the evil god to extend its tentacles deep into the divine dream world. The Cult of the God of Pain is the best example. Those who suffer from pain will attract the attention of the God of Pain, and then their minds will be affected, and they will become believers of the God of Pain, madly creating pain in the world.
This influence is like a plague, spreading in the world and becoming more and more serious.
The Nightmare invasion caused too much suffering and became a breeding ground for the God of Pain to spread his faith.
Moreover, there is more than one evil god invading. In addition to the Cult of Pain, other empires have also seen the Cult of Shadow, the Cult of Distortion, and the Cult of Destruction...
They are all old acquaintances. Su Mu had basically met them all when he was in the abyss before. Although he had not gotten close to them and could not see their true appearance clearly, he had felt the breath of these evil gods.
The Nightmare Era seemed to have entered version 2.0, with evil gods invading.
This should have happened after the authenticity of the Shenmeng world increased significantly, but Shangguan Chen did it ahead of time.
"How do the seven empires react to these cults?"
"The seven empires have already launched an extermination operation against the major religious cults, but it has little effect because every day there are people who dream about the evil gods and then convert to believers. Unless the influence of the evil gods is completely isolated, sooner or later humans will become slaves of the evil gods."
Su Mu nodded. It was true. If the source of pollution was not removed, simply eliminating the polluted people would only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the humanoid monster in the dungeon and pulled his glasses down slightly, revealing his eyes.
A crystal blue light bloomed, and tremendous mental power poured into the humanoid monster's body, attempting to eradicate the influence of the God of Pain.
