Chapter 538 The big one is coming
Combined with the act of the Barbarian Dwarves offering sacrifices at specific times, Bacon shuddered.
Mortals are actually very realistic.
Whether praying or offering sacrifices, in a sense, it is a "transaction".
Mortals offer faith or sacrifices to gods, whether to express gratitude or symbolize worship, in essence, they are actually conveying their demands to gods.
Thanking the gods for giving them power, allowing them to solve the difficulties they face, for this they are willing to provide faith or suitable sacrifices to the gods in return;
The same reason.
The gods receive the sacrifices and will also give mortals corresponding blessings as a reward.
This is a two-way transaction.
Both parties have a certain degree of initiative, and the gods can decide on their own whether to accept the offerings of mortals and respond to their demands.
What mortals can decide is whether to convey their demands to a certain god.
The belief and worship of evil gods is essentially such a transaction.
In this case, what kind of transaction do the Barbarian Dwarves intend to make by offering sacrifices here?
The location of the ceremony is symbolic.
If they just wanted to offer sacrifices to the evil god in exchange for his power, they could do it in the secret room at home, the sewer in the sewer, or the old room in the library. There was no need to go to the depths of the Spirit Wing Wetland.
The four looked at each other.
They said in unison:
"They are after this monster!"
Lancelot was the first to react: "Wait, this thing can't be... alive?!"
He thought of the last time his body was sacrificed by the cultists, his flesh and blood seemed to be absorbed by the tentacles.
At that time, Lancelot thought it was the effect of the cultists' ritual.
Now it seems that the situation is probably even worse!
Dolan's face was extremely heavy: "If I guess correctly... that's it!"
"No?! Are they crazy?!!!!"
Sam's jaw almost hit the ground, and he pointed at the shriveled gray and bloodless tentacles in disbelief: "Such a large size, even a level 6 monster can't describe it. This guy's whole body is probably taller than the Edson Wall?!"
"They want this thing to come alive?!"
"Use it to destroy the world?!"
Bacon said faintly: "...what if it's not."
"Isn't that what the cultists are shouting?"
"The end of this world is coming soon. Only by throwing ourselves into the arms of the Lord can we be protected in the twilight hour and welcome the birth of a new world."
"A world polluted by the void, ruled by evil gods, with only ruins and monsters left, can indeed be considered a new world."
"Maybe by then the cultists will all become monsters, and they can naturally "live" in the new world."
...
Things have become so big that it is no longer a problem that Bacon and his newcomers can solve.
They thought that they could solve the incident by killing their way through the entire excavation site.
But Bacon and his team soon realized a serious problem.
The stone chamber where the tentacle was located was underground in the excavation site.
Even if they tried to blow up all the passages inside the excavation site, they could not change the fact that the body of this terrifying monster was here.
This group of cultists were killed, and new cultists found this place?
What if it was the last moment and the monster was about to be resurrected?
Bacon still remembered what the foreman of the wild pickaxe dwarves shouted when urging other dwarves to work:
"They are very close to the 'gift of the Lord'."
These dwarves are still digging something here.
Combined with the monster's probably huge size.
Bacon has a terrifying guess: "Are they planning to dig directly into the body of this monster?!"
Right now it's just a stone chamber, but it's hard to say what you'll see if you continue to dig deeper!
The source of the threat could never be eliminated, and this place would always be a huge hidden danger.
Although the tentacles looked lifeless, no matter what attack method they used, they could not even scratch their skin!
Whether it was slashing with a knife or hitting with a stick, or even moving some oil lamps to try to burn it.
All were ineffective.
Sam even used the power of combat skills, and a [Heroic Strike] was used, but only a shallow mark was left on the monster's body, and then it quickly disappeared.
No defense break!
They couldn't even see the "life bar" of the monster.
Dolan tried to release [Glorious Glory] on the tentacles, but there was still no obvious effect.
…
So, a new topic post was added to the section of the Stone Fort in the Temple of Truth.
[Help! Emergency! Major discovery in the depths of the Spirit Wing Wetland!!!]
For things beyond their ability, Bacon and his friends honestly chose to ask for help.
Don't be stubborn.
This is the topic post posted by his younger brother Bacon Chinar that Pete saw in the Temple of Truth.
After reading the content.
Pete was also confused.
He was curious about what the messengers of the Supreme Truth Church were planning to do by converting and brainwashing so many Stone Castle dwarves.
The truth is out!
Deep in the Spirit Wing Wetland, something big is coming!
They have to find a way to get rid of the body of the terrifying monster!
"How can we deal with it?!"
The other people who also read the topic post were also confused.
After they locked onto the Black Robe Organization, that is, the Church of the Supreme Truth, the conspiracy planned by the other party also surfaced.
This can't even be considered a conspiracy.
It's almost an open conspiracy.
They are almost openly converting more and more dwarves to infiltrate the nine clans that represent the upper echelons of power in Stone Castle.
These successful infiltration insiders will also take the opportunity to send the originally normal family members in the clan to the "Realm of Truth" to have their bodies reshaped and brainwashed.
It's no exaggeration to say:
According to the information that Pete and his team got from the messenger.
At this time, the nine clans of Stone Castle are basically rotten.
I thought that the young Freeman dwarf I saw in the Freeman family's shop was a common member of the family.
It turns out that the other party is a "rare species".
This is no longer a case of insiders mixed into the nine clans.
But a small number of dwarves from the nine clans mixed into a bunch of insiders!
The defense force of Stone Castle is completely unreliable, and they may even have the shape of the Supreme Truth.
The real consequences of the transformation of the "God-merciful" were known to Pete now, based on Bacon's description of his experience.
Just like giving an order, when receiving a specific spell, they will immediately enter a state of losing the ability to think, have super strong self-healing ability, fearless of death, fearless of pain, and grow strange eyeballs on their wounds, launching crazy attacks on the target.
There are now thousands of such God-merciful in the stone fortress who may "explode" at any time, Pete is simply scared to think about it.
