Chapter 758 They have gone crazy for a long time, but they just don’t want to believe it
In other words, what exactly is the basis for dividing "human beings" as defined by Jules and the Gear Sage?
The more I think about this question, the scarier it becomes. It’s extremely terrifying when I think about it carefully.
"Forget it, keep looking down."
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and quickly turned the page as if she had been pardoned.
To be honest, she was a little worried that in the end, she would find out that she was the monster.
This was the first time she doubted her human identity.
"It's okay." A voice came from behind. Beatrice turned her head and found that it was Nini who came over.
Nini's tone was gentle, and she comforted him softly: "It's okay, I wouldn't mind even if you are not human. You will always be the best in my heart-"
Beatrice was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on Nini's snake tail and scales, and suddenly she understood.
Nini is a banshee, she was not a human from the beginning.
So what if she is not a human being? Nini is alive and well. In fact, six hands make it faster for her to write reports.
She is obsessed with appearances.
Beatrice felt warm in her heart, and the wariness on her face gradually faded. Instead, she felt a little guilty - Nini was actually a good person, and she had wronged her.
Should she
"Fountain." Nini suddenly uttered the last two words.
Beatrice tilted her head, not understanding what Nini meant.
"I mean, you will always be the best fountain in my heart." Nini nodded seriously.
Beatrice was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head.
Her face turned red at an alarming rate and her chest began to heave violently.
"Don't spit on the ground. Forget it. Remember to wipe it off after you spit." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zeus ignored the impending war and instead hurriedly took the letter and cautiously took a few steps back.
Others either hurriedly sought shelter or were ready to join the battle. The office lived up to expectations and became lively.
Hughes took the letter paper and Chloe's diary, found a corner and continued to read.
"The Church. The sects of light and shadow coexist." The more Zeus read the content below, the more frightened he became. "Chloe, do you know what this is all about?"
Chloe's diary didn't reply for a while. After a long time, the handwriting appeared, with a hint of obvious panic and shock.
"I, I don't know. How is that possible? Have the Fire Moths existed from the beginning? That's impossible. We clearly rebelled because we were oppressed by the Candlelight Society."
"Who told you that?"
"The previous chief."
"It seems someone lied about not mentioning this. Do you know the situation of the other churches? Is this all true?"
Chloe was silent for a long moment before she spoke softly, "I'm not entirely clear on many things. For example, the Forgotten of the Silent Temple. Their deeds are so long ago that they've practically become legend. There's also the Hooded Ones and the Night Watch. Rumor has it they don't have a good relationship, and..."
Chloe suddenly hesitated and stopped.
Hughes knew what she was thinking. The following line of information was too bizarre.
"Chloe, Jules classified the two sects of the Church of Poseidon as the Deep Ones and the Banshees."
"Um."
"What do you think, is this true?"
"I can't say." Chloe's handwriting slowed down.
"The affairs of the Church of Poseidon are extremely dangerous, even in secret history, so they are strictly sealed, especially in Castel. If this information were known elsewhere, it would probably be close to getting out of control."
With Castel as the center, all occult effects are partially weakened, cognitive interference is less likely to occur, and pollution activity is lower. Similarly, reading secret history is also less likely to be polluted.
"I previously had only fragmentary knowledge of the Church of Poseidon. I knew they were expelled from the Five Great Churches, and that subsequent believers had been attempting to revive it, but most had gone astray, lost in the dreams of the past."
Zeus remembered the report when the airship first arrived in Gem Bay. Everything there was in order, just like a normal city, but the residents were not humans, but mermen.
"They've all gone mad. Even the remaining transcendental pathways have serious problems. They need to be contaminated to reach the transcendental. In other words, almost all of their transcendents are on the verge of losing control."
"Those fishmen are actually..."
"Yes, they are all believers. They must be members of the Deep Ones. When the Church of Poseidon was still one of the five major churches, they were just normal believers. After the incident with the Church of Poseidon, they were contaminated and collectively lost control and became monsters. The Church of Poseidon has ceased to exist since then. What remains is just a twisted, empty shell."
Chloe took a deep breath and said, "It's absolutely right to expel the Church of Poseidon. They've all been crazy for a long time, but they just don't want to believe it and are pretending not to be crazy."
Hughes was silent for a moment.
In this world, personal will can influence reality. If you firmly believe that you are not crazy, then your sanity can really remain intact. Believers who have long since turned into fishmen live like this, pretending to be human, imagining that they are still human and have a church and faith.
"No wonder, no wonder. In the subsequent battle, they looked weak on the shore, but once they entered the sea, they became terrifyingly strong."
"Yes, on the shore, they were merely imaginary believers who had not fallen into madness. After being submerged in the sea, their true appearance was revealed - a monster that had already been twisted."
Zeus couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had obviously turned into powerful monsters, but they were unwilling to believe it and would rather think of themselves as weak and ordinary believers.
And the world accommodated them. Fortunately, otherwise Caster really couldn't bear it.
"The letter also says that the demise of the Sea God Church is related to their belief in God. Do you have any idea about this?"
"I do know this. All churches do not worship gods. Just like the Moth Lord of our Fire-Chasing Moths, he is merely an evil god under our control. We do not offer our faith to him. What we truly pursue is knowledge itself."
This Zeus knew, and he accidentally broke the Moth Lord
"What if we believe in God?"
This sentence made Chloe pause for a moment, and then the handwriting slowly emerged:
"Why should we believe in gods?"
This is something that Hughes can't do.
"Isn't the church all about believing in God? They preach that God is omnipotent and people should believe in Him unconditionally."
"Uh, boss, you're a little weird, aren't you? I've never heard of that before."
"Gods are powerful because they have strength. So why don't we just believe in strength? Why would anyone believe in gods?" Chloe said matter-of-factly.
Hughes was stunned.
