Chapter 130: The End of Apocalypse
In the all-white church, I just quietly watched the believers worshipping below.
Although their worship was very devout, I didn't feel any emotion inside. Instead, I felt a little bored.
So I directly gestured for An Xiaowei to come over.
After receiving my order, An Xiaowei stood up excitedly, then quickly came to me and bowed.
"Lord, what are your commands?"
"Are all the believers here?"
After saying that, I looked around, but I didn't find the person I wanted among those believers.
In Apocalypse, there is still a real BOSS that has not appeared.
And when I was escaping, I passed by the baptismal room, where there was a strong pressure, a bit like a barrier, and the so-called descent of God was most likely planned by that person.
But I didn’t feel this familiar feeling among this group of believers.
That's why I asked An Xiaowei.
"The Bishop is out on business. Lord, you can tell me what to do."
After hearing An Xiaowei's answer, I waved at her directly.
Although my hand did not touch An Xiaowei's body, she still flew away like a kite with a broken string.
Because I absorbed Gali's power, I became more and more proficient in using space.
My seemingly light wave of the hand actually secretly distorted a part of the space.
However, An Xiaowei didn't fly very far, which made me a little dissatisfied.
After all, I have just absorbed Gali's power not long ago, so I am still a little uncomfortable with it.
"Yeah?"
I asked back lightly, but An Xiaowei buried her head even lower.
She said tremblingly, "Lord...Lord, everything I say is true."
After taking a look at her appearance, I was afraid she really didn't know.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up. There are plenty of opportunities anyway.
Moreover, apart from the person who has been hiding in the dark, there are more important things to do at the moment.
After all, I am not Gali.
Part of the power of the gods comes from faith and is not directly connected to the abilities of believers. Otherwise, I would be able to identify the mastermind behind the scenes simply through the connection established with the believers.
According to the knowledge obtained from Gali's consciousness, each god has his own corresponding name and prayer. Ordinary people cannot directly recite the names of gods, so they usually call gods through prayers and alternative names.
The Apocalyptic sects call Kali "Lord" or "My Lord".
And the phrase "the true God who is almighty and all-loving, most holy and pure" is also one of Kali's honorable names.
Although I don’t think that Gali has any relevance to words like “the almighty, all-loving, most holy and pure God”.
However, this kind of honorific name has many more guiding words, but does not directly call His name, so even ordinary people can recite it.
The reason why I was able to call Gali's name before was because I was only saying it in my consciousness and did not call His name in the real world.
Moreover, I have a container physique, and I will have a certain degree of compatibility with them, so the negative impact of the names of gods on me will be relatively much smaller.
But again, I am not the real Kali. The prayers that the believers recite and the rituals they arrange are precisely directed to Kali himself.
In essence, they are still followers of Gali.
To claim His followers, their rituals and prayers must be directed more precisely toward Me.
This is not difficult. All you have to do is change the name and the direction of the ceremony.
But it is not that simple. They have been performing the ceremony in this way for a long time, and it is not right to suddenly change the ceremony.
Even though fanatics believe in God unconditionally, some exceptions are not ruled out.
So this matter can only be done slowly.
Moreover, the honorific name cannot be made up randomly. Making it up randomly will cause the believers' faith power to have no direction, and I will not be able to obtain it.
I have to think of a name and prayer that can accurately guide me, have a certain overlap with Gali, and won't let these believers feel any clues.
An Xiaowei saw that I closed my eyes and held my head without saying anything, and for a moment she didn't dare to move.
I was too lazy to say anything more, so I just got up and left.
An Xiaowei subconsciously wanted to follow, but I waved my hand, indicating that she should not disturb me, and then went straight to the prayer room.
Seeing these believers gives me a headache, so I prefer to ignore them.
After calming down, I thought seriously about the honorific name and ritual.
After much thought, I decided to edit a sentence similar to that of Gali as a name that can be chanted by believers.
Thinking of this, I casually conjured up an imaginary piece of paper and pen and wrote a sentence on it.
"Almighty and all-loving, most holy and pure God."
The original name of Kali is "the true God who is all-powerful and all-loving, most holy and pure", which is only one word different from what I wrote, but the direction is completely different.
Gali is the real God, but I am not.
As long as the word "true" is removed, the power of faith can be directed to me, and the changes will not be significant. Even if believers have doubts, they will not have any extra thoughts.
Moreover, I had no intention of asking them to change their prayers through direct verbal communication.
I can transform my fear projections into gentler dream projections, just like my ancestors did in my dreams, and tell them what I need.
Dreams are inherently partly illusory, and as long as it involves illusion, I have the corresponding authority.
This will also help to improve your own status and make them feel that this is an oracle.
In addition to the honorific name, the next thing is the ritual. Although I don’t know much about mysticism, I still have some understanding of the ritual based on the knowledge I gained from Gali.
Most rituals related to Kali involve mirrors and planetary symbols, and since I draw my power from Him, I naturally cannot avoid these two important media.
However, if we follow the original method and just change the steps, it will be just a change of name, and the final link of the ritual will probably still be to Gali himself.
Is there a way to retain iconic elements like the mirror and the planetary symbols while effectively preventing believers from linking to Kali?
After thinking hard for a while, I finally came up with an idea.
Gali seems to like blood sacrifices very much, especially using humans as sacrifices for blood sacrifices, or rather, most evil gods like blood sacrifices very much, but what if I change the form of blood sacrifice?
The steps of the blood sacrifice ceremony are still retained, but the blood is required to be replaced with animal blood or monster blood, which can allow them to hunt monsters to a certain extent.
After thinking about it, I decisively gave up the plan of using monster blood for blood sacrifice rituals. What if they kept ordinary people in captivity and forcibly transformed them into monsters for convenience? The result would be contrary to what I hoped for.
Moreover, the method of communication also needs to be more obscure and cannot be said directly.
I thought about my idea carefully for a while and found that using dreams is indeed the most appropriate.
After finalizing the plan, I waved my hand and the illusory paper and pen dissipated into the air like ashes.
Then I closed my eyes and tried to transform the fear projection into a dream projection.
As my ability was activated, the entire church was instantly filled with an invisible wave.
Because the power I am using now is Gali's original power, these believers can sense it when I activate my ability.
After doing all this, I leisurely poured myself a cup of coffee.
I have to say that the quality of life in the Apocalypse Sect is pretty good, there is no feeling of scarcity of supplies at the end of the world at all.
Soon, the atmosphere outside the prayer room began to boil.
Everyone has obtained the information projected through dreams.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the person outside couldn't wait to see me.
I lifted my finger and the door opened automatically.
When I looked up, I saw the priest and An Xiaowei rushing over. When their eyes were about to meet mine, they looked away and lowered their heads.
In fact, I look the same as usual now, and the alienated features are all hidden. First, I really don’t like the appearance of that big spider, and second, the appearance of a normal person will not cause any mental harm to them.
These people are crazy enough as it is, and it won't do me any good if they go even crazier.
They dared not look at me simply because of their instinctive fear of God.
"We have just received your oracle. It was our negligence before. Future rituals will definitely be improved according to your will!"
I hummed, closed my eyes again and ignored them.
After all, if you want to have the status of a god, you still have to have the necessary airs.
At this moment, I suddenly felt something strange, as if something was trying to spy here.
I squinted slightly and opened one eye.
This eye has no specific vision, but it can sense other abnormal fluctuations, similar to radar.
In just a few seconds, I locked onto several places.
I frowned slightly, switched spaces, and moved myself outside the mountain.
I actually found a few people in different places on this mountain.
Except… they were wearing Bureau of Investigation uniforms with the “Eye of Perseverance” logo on them.
I snapped my fingers and used my illusory authority to replace the entire mountain, creating a mirror image of the mountain to take the place of the church.
Then I returned to the church inside the mountain.
I'm not surprised that the Investigation Bureau noticed this. After all, I made such a big fuss before just to attract the attention of the Investigation Bureau so that I could get in touch with the outside world.
But things are different now.
My current identity is the Lord worshipped by the Apocalypse Sect. Even if my teammates believe in me, the headquarters may not believe it. My identity will definitely attract in-depth investigation by the Investigation Bureau, and then it will be inconvenient for me to do anything.
Temporarily leaving the Investigation Bureau will actually maximize my freedom and make me more proactive.
After hiding the church, I returned to my room, took a last look at my former colleague through that all-seeing eye, and sighed slightly.
The Bureau may have been my refuge, but I couldn't really rely on them forever.
The real enemy is not those mutated monsters, but the evil god.
This is an existence that the Investigation Bureau cannot contend with, and going back will only result in more casualties.
Let the Apocalypse Sect disappear forever in my hands...
…
With my protection, the Investigation Bureau naturally couldn't find this place. After witnessing my power, the believers felt more and more that I could lead them to the gods.
I have previously used Gali's remaining spirit to explore the source. Gali did not die immediately after the failure of the divine descent, but hid in the depths of the starry sky and fell into a deep sleep.
Yes, even though he is an evil god, he is still a god after all, and it is not that easy for him to die.
While Gali has fallen into a deep sleep after part of his consciousness was devoured by me, we must quickly eradicate the entire Apocalypse Sect.
However, my previous act of blocking the investigation bureau's investigation had already deeply impressed these believers. In addition, during this period of time, I always deliberately revealed some "miracles" accidentally. In just a few days, the believers' faith had been completely transferred to me.
Well, it's time to act.
I opened my palm and a small nebula appeared in my hand.
This is the power of faith of believers.
Since their faith is now completely directed towards me, I can naturally connect with each believer.
Soon, I found the little mouse that had been hiding in the dark.
I magnified the tiny speck of starlight and saw a familiar face.
Mo Junfan.
A bishop of the Apocalyptic sect.
Although I was a little surprised, I didn't show much emotion.
There was only a faint sense of anger at being teased.
I immediately wanted to bring down divine punishment on him to make him lose control on the spot.
But after thinking about it, I held back. Revenge one by one is too inefficient.
It would be better to use a permanent solution.
Thinking of this, a plan came to my mind.
That night, I conveyed my will through a dream.
I made up an excuse: Ji Ling's mortal body is too weak to withstand the power of the gods, so I need a grand sacrifice to gain energy and strengthen this body so that it can better merge with this mortal, and require all strongholds to perform this ceremony at the same time.
The believers who received the dream oracle did not doubt it and hurriedly prepared, slaughtering chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other animals raised for food in various strongholds, intending to find an auspicious day to perform a blood sacrifice.
It has to be said that the Apocalypse Sect is very proactive. Just a few days after the dream oracle was revealed, rituals had already been arranged in various strongholds.
And I am happy to see it happen.
My plan is simple. On the day of the ceremony, I will use the connection between God and the believers to directly and forcibly contaminate them, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
And everything went on as I expected.
Soon, the day of sacrifice arrived.
I opened a mirror channel and let all the believers in the stronghold gather here. The huge church could hardly accommodate so many believers.
In desperation, I had to open up a wide enough mirror space and bring them all into the mirror.
And the ritual site was also brought into the mirror by me.
I was wearing a holy white robe embroidered with gold edges, and transformed into a six-eyed, six-armed creature. I walked slowly up to the platform, and through the translucent gauze, I saw that everyone in the crowd had a pious expression on their faces.
However, there was no ripple in my heart, and I recited Gali's words again.
"I am the abyss, my salvation. I am the light, I am the darkness. I am the dust, I am the universe! I am...Gali..."
