Chapter 361 I think it’s fair.
Scepter: "Every time the evil god devours a body and soul, it will become larger. After devouring hundreds of people, the mother goddess's body can even be three or four stories high. This is almost the limit of what humans can deal with."
Scepter: "According to records, even the Imperial Royal Musketeers had great difficulty dealing with a monster of this size - it could even continue to attack and devour despite a volley of musket fire, and anyone with slightly weaker firepower would be unable to resist it at all."
French Fries: "So what did you do when you encountered this kind of monster before?"
Scepter: "Let the extraordinary ones fight."
Scepter: "Investigators can work together to control it and prevent it from continuing to devour. The extraordinary people in the Silent Temple can fight it head-on, and the sleepless ones can do something to it. The extraordinary people in each path basically have ways to deal with this monster."
Scepter: "Its overall strength is still a bit weak. Even if it can grow, it won't be a big problem as long as it is interrupted in time."
French Fries: "I see, it doesn't look that difficult to deal with?"
Scepter: "Yes, its growth rate is not too fast, so although it can be very strong in theory, in reality it is just that strong. As a cult, the Church of the Mother Goddess of Life is not as dangerous as the Fire Moth."
Writer: "What if it grows?"
Writer: "For example, it is as high as a dozen floors."
Scepter: 『.』
Twenty floors, although the height is less than ten times that of three or four floors, the size of the monster increases exponentially.
In other words, the monster in front of Zoe was dozens of times larger than what Beatrice had described.
The difference in body size is huge.
What Zoe didn't know was that the size difference between creatures was not just a simple comparison of size. The physique of a giant creature would be enhanced in all aspects, from bone density to muscle mass, otherwise it would not be able to support such a huge size.
If the strength is not strong enough, it would be extremely difficult to fight against gravity. However, the huge evil god in front of Zoe was quite flexible for its size.
Scepter: "I don't know about this."
Scepter: "No summoned Mother Goddess has ever grown to this size. Normally, she would be discovered right after she was summoned, but growing to this size is unheard of."
Scepter: "But according to the records, as the size of [Mother] increases, her strength increases a lot. A height of three or four stories is already very scary. Even for extraordinary people, it is very troublesome to deal with it. A height of twenty stories."
There was silence in the link.
Twenty floors are almost unimaginable for people of this era. With such a huge size, people would probably be scared crazy just by seeing it, let alone fighting against it. It was only because the Crusaders had experience in deep-sea wars and had dealt with large monsters that they could barely delay it.
But with just them, let alone solving the problem, just being able to delay the time would mean that the Crusaders are elite enough.
Writer: "Is there really no way to deal with the grown-up [loving mother]?"
To be honest, Zoe was a little desperate. If even the Skitarii couldn't deal with this kind of monster, would they really have to give up Blood Harbor? Scepter: "Yes."
Scepter: "But it requires sacrifice, a great sacrifice."
Scepter: "The purpose of the Mother Goddess Church is to save lives. They will never take the initiative to kill believers, even the [Mother] is no exception."
Scepter: "The vessel for the descent of [Mother] must actively agree to be transformed, and the believers who are devoured must also be willing to dedicate themselves - it must be truly voluntary. If there is any coercion, [Mother] will not descend."
Scepter: "Even so, [Mother] will wait until they die before devouring them. Even if [Mother] is dying from the attack, she will never swallow the believers who are still alive."
French Fries: "Is there a reason, such as swallowing living believers will weaken the [Mother]?"
Scepter: "No, the Candlelight Society once tried to stuff living believers into the mouth of the [Mother], and it made no difference."
French Fries: "That sounds like it."
Scepter: "Yes, [Mother] is a true mother to her believers, and this is the only way for us to defeat her."
Scepter: "No matter how much [Mother] grows, as long as the believers want her to return, she will really leave."
Scepter: "According to the records, we need to find a person who is willing to sacrifice himself, and who, with the hope that [Mother] will return, will take the initiative to be devoured by her."
Captain: "If it only takes one person, it doesn't sound that difficult."
Jeremiah asked doubtfully, "It only takes one person to sacrifice to defeat the evil god?" This was no longer a question of whether it was difficult or not, but too easy.
How many people will die if the evil god comes? Now, all they need is one person's death to solve the problem.
Not only him, but everyone in the link felt relieved. For the prince, it was not difficult to find someone willing to sacrifice himself.
Scepter: "For every Mother Goddess believer who is willing to sacrifice himself, we need to find another person."
There was silence in the link.
Writer: "You mean"
Scepter: "It's just as you think. We need to find as many people as the Mother Goddess's followers are willing to sacrifice themselves. Only in this way can the request for the return of the [Mother] be stronger than the followers' wish for Her to cleanse the world."
French Fries: "How is this possible? Isn't the number of Mother Goddess's followers infinite?"
This time the scepter was silent. After a while, she chuckled, her tone a little strange: "You have probably never seen a follower of the Mother Goddess, or even seen famine with your own eyes, right?"
Ken was stunned for a moment. His family had fled to Castel. Old Ivan took them to the island. Although life was a little harder, it was indeed far away from famine and war. He had never been hungry since he was a child. The biggest difficulty he had to consider was how many people in the family could go to school.
French Fries: "Uh, I haven't seen it."
Scepter: "I have seen disaster victims with the Candlelight Society. They are a huge mass, like locusts. Wherever they go, they will cause disasters there. They will even eat the grass and trees on the road, leaving corpses behind. "
Scepter: "I have always been a little afraid, but also a little sympathetic, until one day I did something willful. I told the priest who followed me that I wanted to take a closer look at these starving people."
Scepter: "The priest brought me to the group of hungry people. The priest was very strong and no one could hurt me. But to this day I still often dream about those hungry people and wake up from nightmares."
Scepter: "In my eyes, the hungry people are just a symbol, a noun, a distant symbol that can arouse my sympathy, but when I walked into their midst, I was surprised to find that they are actually human beings."
Scepter: "The endless number of Mother Goddess believers are also made up of living people. Each of them has a name, parents, and hopes and fantasies. "
Scepter: "Now someone has pushed them into a desperate situation. They would rather believe in evil gods and die than let the anger ignite the world."
Scepter: "When they were desperate, the only one who responded to them was [Mother], so it's no wonder they gave up everything."
Scepter: "So, I think——"
Scepter: "One life for another, very fair."
