Chapter 131 Silence
Every time I read this passage, I feel extremely unnatural, as if I were introducing someone else.
Following my words, the believers prostrating themselves on the ground began to bow and perform the two-finger salute.
After completing the basic rituals, everyone began to bow their heads and pray. At first, the sound was scattered and fragmented, but perhaps because the atmosphere was right, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Their words gradually merged into a unified voice.
“The Lord alone is supreme, the Lord alone is exalted.”
"Almighty and all-loving, most holy and pure God."
The power of faith gradually gathered.
As these beliefs were directed towards me, I felt an unprecedented surge of energy into my body, as if I were now a real god.
For a moment, I hesitated.
If I keep them, I can use the power of the Apocalypse Sect for my own benefit, and I can enjoy this power for a long time and become a true god.
Once these believers are destroyed, the power of faith will no longer exist and I will gain nothing.
I opened all my eyes and made my own choice.
The six eyes on the head and the six eyes on the arms created a huge and real illusion with the help of the power of faith gathered at this moment.
In these illusions, the believers' identities became those of blood sacrifices.
In the illusion, they were captured, lured, and slaughtered by the illusory believers I created, and then buried in the woods, caves, and swamps...
These images kept replaying in their minds over and over again.
In such a terrifying illusion, the believers in the audience had terrified and distorted expressions on their faces, and some even showed signs of mutation and loss of control.
But this alone was not enough, so I opened my mouth and recited a string of words from an even more ancient language.
This is a language that only gods know, and just hearing it can cause a devastating blow to people.
And through ritual, the effect of these words is almost doubled.
Screams rang out from the audience one after another, but I just watched it all indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with me.
In this purgatory-like scene, some believers struggled unwillingly and asked:
"Why……"
Why?
I smiled and told them in a language that everyone could understand:
"Because I am not your God..."
Even if I were Gali, Gali would not necessarily attach much importance to these believers.
This was something I didn't understand until I devoured that part of Gali's consciousness.
God is the most indifferent existence in this world.
My gaze shifted to Mo Junfan's position, and he was also looking at me, his lips moving as if he was saying something.
From the shape of his mouth, I roughly knew what he was saying.
“It’s you…”
I smiled back at him and nodded slightly.
Although we had fought side by side before, I didn't feel any emotion or guilt at the moment.
This can be considered as him tying himself up in knots.
To be honest, ever since I learned the truth about God’s descent, I have hated the word “container”.
A group of inexplicable gods forcibly plan other people's lives and occupy other people's bodies for inexplicable purposes.
Whenever I think of these things late at night, I feel so angry that my teeth itch.
Don’t you want to use me as a vessel for God’s descent?
But I'm going to find a way out.
At this moment, Mo Junfan had mutated beyond recognition. Not long after, he was completely paralyzed and turned into a pool of pus and blood.
At this moment, the church was no longer filled with painful wails. Instead, there were only corpses of various monsters, internal organs, and blood on the ground...
Looking at the mess on the ground, I suddenly felt empty inside.
That's the end...
I lowered my eyes and snapped my fingers. The entire illusory sacrificial venue disappeared into nothingness, along with the wreckage that should have been real, which also turned into ashes along with the illusion.
This is also one of the powers of illusion. Anything that enters the illusion world in the mirror, if it is a dead object, can be transformed by me into an illusion.
I summoned a mirror and returned to the original church through it.
It still looks white, sacred and magnificent, but it is quiet and deserted.
I returned to my usual prayer room and locked myself in the room.
It’s not because I’m melancholy or anything, I just need to organize my thoughts and decide what to do next.
I just noticed Mo Junfan. His abilities seem to be similar to Jiang Wang's, both of which are related to flesh and blood.
But after I devoured Gali's abilities, I did not gain any abilities related to flesh and blood. It seems that Mo Junfan's infection did not come from Gali, or at least not entirely from Gali.
This was not a good sign. Jiang Wang had previously said that he was first infected in the ruins of the church.
If it wasn't Gali who infected him, then it meant that there was something else in the church he was visiting.
Moreover, the one who can infect humans through pollution sources is most likely an evil god-level existence.
Now I can basically confirm that the church ruins that Jiang Wang saw are not exactly the same as the church I am in now.
The church he went to was just a smokescreen created by the Apocalyptic sect.
However, what kind of existence would make Gali so taboo that he would build a decoy church to confuse people?
Is it the "Zhou Tian"? I searched my mind for the knowledge I inherited, but there was no more detailed content.
But based on the current knowledge, it is most likely not the so-called "Zhoutian".
Although I don’t understand it, based on my past understanding and Gali’s conscious feelings, “Zhoutian” should not be an evil god or a living creature, but more like some kind of concept.
As a concept, "Zhoutian" should not have any pollution sources.
But it is obvious that the person that Gali is afraid of also has a source of pollution.
Since it is not "Zhou Tian", it is most likely an evil god with a similar status to Kali.
As soon as I thought of this possibility, a name came to my mind - sleepless fetal mother.
This is also what we get from Gali's thinking.
Then, more information came to mind.
"The sleepless mother is named Ra. She reproduces without sleep..."
Then, a huge round object vaguely emerged in my mind. I couldn’t see it clearly, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t dare to look at it anyway.
The information in my mind tells me that this is another evil god.
Before Gali is completely resolved, a new fetal mother pops up, and it goes on and on.
I frowned slightly and suddenly felt a little powerless. Even though I am much stronger now than before, I feel that the pressure is much greater than before.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, I have the ability to protect myself now.
After absorbing Gali's divine power, I finally understood some things.
There is a boundary barrier between the place where the evil god lives and the earth.
There are only two ways for those gods to come to Earth.
The first is to break through the boundary barriers and cross over from where you live.
The second is the divine descent ceremony, which involves transferring one's own power and consciousness into the divine descent container.
The difference between these two methods is that breaking through the boundary barrier requires the evil god to be very powerful, so that he can break through the barrier.
The divine descent ritual only requires finding a suitable container.
But there is a big drawback to the divine descent ceremony.
Because the human body is fragile after all, and the container's physique cannot withstand the powerful divine power, the evil god can only transmit a part of the divine power, and then continuously strengthen the container's physique and slowly transmit the strength.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Is it possible that even my absorbing of Gali's divine power was arranged by Gali? Was it to strengthen my physique?
But no matter how much the physical fitness is improved, it can only transmit 80% of the divine power.
Despite so many disadvantages, most gods seem to prefer this method.
Is it simply that the boundaries and barriers are too difficult to break?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Now I am as suspicious as a poor guy who has been pranked many times. I worry that there might be some shocking conspiracy behind every incident.
Sighing, I rubbed my temples and summoned pen and paper again.
Whenever I am out of ideas, I always like to draw some mind maps, which helps me organize my thoughts and notice some points that I have overlooked.
As I was thinking, I picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.
Gali, Ra, Dark Moon...
These are a few evil gods I know.
"Gali" holds authority related to illusions. After I absorbed some of his divine power, he fell into a deep sleep.
"Dark Moon" is the red and white moon in Tiannan City. It is currently unknown what kind of authority it holds.
I briefly recalled the new knowledge I had learned.
"Dark Moon, Vesper...rules darkness and shadows..."
I softly read out the relevant content in my mind.
Well... no wonder Fan Buqiu was able to turn those wronged souls into fog spirits.
At this moment, I suddenly understood why the bodies disappeared inexplicably in the middle of the night when I was watching the surveillance video.
Perhaps it is also the authority of the shadow.
The authority of gods is different from the abilities unlocked by ordinary humans through mutation and evolution. Authority is equivalent to the absolute power that gods possess in a certain field. With authority, countless skills can be derived.
However, the abilities gained through mutation are by-products of the overflowing power of the gods. The specific abilities they evolve into depend on which evil god is the source of the contamination and the subjective initiative of the infected person.
Jiang Wang is a living example. His ability is to change the state of his flesh and blood, but he uses his creativity to transform his flesh and blood into different weapons for him to use in different situations, greatly enhancing its applicability and flexibility.
And this sleepless fetal mother named "La"... could it be that she is in charge of childbirth?
After staring at the contents on the paper for a while, I wrote a few more words.
"Barrier", "God's Descent".
Why do all the major evil gods prefer to choose divine descent...
Even if the barrier cannot be broken, if these evil gods join forces, there will probably be some movement even if it cannot be broken.
But it turned out that these evil gods had never considered breaking through the barrier at all.
Either they are lazy, or... the earth is not their target at all.
But if he was really lazy, wouldn't God's descent be troublesome? No matter how I think about it, it seems to be the latter.
Since the Earth is not their target, then only...
Thinking of this, I wrote two words on the paper: "container".
Of course, I am not so narcissistic as to think that I am the chosen one who can make these evil gods favor me.
At most, there is something special about me that makes these evil gods plot against me.
Special point...
Quickly, I thought of Morse code.
If we talk about special things, this is it, and the other is the cloud and thunder pattern.
The cloud-like thunder pattern can mobilize my own strength, and this strength is not obtained from any infection or other evil gods.
However, after absorbing Gali's consciousness, I also became clear about one thing.
I'm afraid those gods will take various actions soon.
I think I need to go back to the investigation bureau.
Anyway, the Apocalypse Sect has been perfectly dealt with now, so it’s just right to go back.
For such important things, we need to prepare in advance.
So I stood up and entered the world in the mirror.
A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in a fitting mirror in a clothing store in Xinyan City.
This human figure is me. Although I don’t have the ability to teleport, I can jump between various mirrors.
This is also part of the illusory authority. First, make yourself illusory, enter the mirror, and then project yourself into the real world. At the moment of projection, you just need to restore the real state.
Through this ability, I can be somewhere else in an instant.
Unfortunately, I only absorbed a part of the divine power, so I could only reach a place about five kilometers away from me in an instant.
And if I had complete divine power, I could travel to a place a light year away in an instant.
Thinking of this, I let out a helpless sigh.
"Ah, it seems that Gali is still much more powerful than I thought."
If Gali is so powerful, then the other gods are probably not easy to deal with either.
After a while, I arrived at the Investigation Bureau.
I walked through the abandoned factory and came to the entrance leading to the underground, but the door of the investigation bureau was locked at this moment.
Since my ID card was searched by An Xiaowei and others, I had no choice but to press the pager at the door.
But no one responded for a long time.
I frowned slightly.
Something is wrong...
I pressed it a few more times, but still no response.
After thinking about it, I simply used the mirror to jump directly into my own room.
I didn't jump back to the investigation bureau because I was afraid of scaring them. I haven't figured out how to explain this to them yet...
But at this moment, there was no one in the investigation bureau.
But the interior is not as messy as Tiannan City.
Logically speaking, people from the Investigation Bureau would not leave the Bureau at will.
Unless something major happens or the headquarters gives an order.
To find out what was going on, I went to the monitoring room of the bureau.
However, the surveillance video in the monitoring room was completely cleared.
The confusion in my heart deepened.
If we don't have the surveillance footage, the only way to find out what happened is to look in the archives.
So I rushed to the archives again. Although I didn't have an access card, I could still enter by face recognition.
However, what I saw was an empty cabinet in the archive room, and my brows furrowed deeply.
