Chapter 132 Spread the Gospel!

Blood Feast Tavern.

This tavern is very famous in Abyss City because it has three floors.

This tavern is located in the magic district, with a good geographical location, luxurious interior decoration, and a quiet environment, unlike other taverns. The owner of the tavern is a powerful vampire. This place mainly entertains extraordinary people of the monster path. The attendants on the second floor include succubi, banshees, vampires, etc. After negotiating the price, you can consider going to the third floor. The chef of the tavern is a famous halfling. It is said that the taste buds of halflings are more developed than those of humans, so their cooking talent is innate and can meet the needs of various customers.

Basically, the people who come here to consume are mid- to high-level extraordinary people. Many of them have been adventuring in the wilderness for years. They finally return to Abyss City for supplies, so naturally they want to vent their pent-up desires.

In the alley next to the tavern, a tall and thin man who had just finished consuming was draining the toilet. The environmental management of Abyss City can only be described as average, so it is best not to walk around at night.

"friend!"

Just as the tall and thin man trembled and was about to pull up his trousers, a deep male voice suddenly sounded, startling this experienced adventurer in the wilderness.

He dodged and rolled over alertly, not caring about the splash of water he had just created on the ground. The moment he stood up, he had already drawn the two daggers at his waist. After looking into the deepest part of the alley, he couldn't help but gasp, because he saw a middle-aged man with a strange and hunched appearance.

Evil?

The man saw the other person's narrow, hooked nose like an old witch, and the cloudy dark yellow eyes that glowed faintly in the darkness, like a monster that chose its prey.

No! He was talking to himself.

As if realizing that he had frightened the other person, the hunched figure in the darkness stepped out and said in a gentle voice that did not match his evil and ferocious appearance: "Don't be afraid. I have no ill intentions."

He spread out his palms to indicate that he had no weapons, and then with an eager look in his eyes, he said to himself, "Friend."

"As you can see, I am a priest."

"My name is Yvonne Tanner, and I am a servant of the Great Mother, Holy Terra."

"If you don't have anything important to do, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to spread the gospel of the Great Mother to you!"

"She is the mother of all things! The spirit of all things! The embodiment of the world!"

"She is both the earth and the sky. She is everywhere and knows everything!"

Kerrigan is a seasoned risk-taker.

He is a ruthless man. He once killed three ogres alone and was able to escape unscathed after fighting with the Old Ones. He is quite famous among the adventurers in Abyss City.

But at this moment, Kerrigan looked at the other party's outstretched hand, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. This guy called Yvon Tanner had one hand as old as an old man, with wrinkled skin and brown spots all over it, and the other hand was shining with the luster of steel in the dark, with five silver-gray mechanical fingers holding a unique emblem.

Where did this cultist come from? !

Hasn't Abyss City always been fighting against cultists? Why would cultists appear in the magic area?
besides?

What kind of shitty evil thing dares to call itself the Great Mother? And in the name of Holy Terra!

Do you really think that the Devil's Court in Abyss City is just there to do nothing?
Kerrigan was about to step back, but suddenly he trembled all over. He stared at the strange priest in front of him and asked in shock, "Are you out of control?"

He will never admit his mistake.

Because he had killed many out-of-control people when he was adventuring in the wilderness, the crazy pollution of the out-of-control people was very obvious, and the body of the weird priest in front of him was highly deformed. But Kerrigan had never seen such a polite out-of-control person, and the other party was still communicating with him, trying to spread the gospel to him.

Those who are out of control are monsters driven by crazy instincts.

"Yes." Yvonne Tanner nodded politely and said, "As you can see, I was once out of control."

"but!"

“The gospel of the Great Mother saved me.”

"The Bishop saved me from madness and gave me wisdom, allowing me to sense the existence of the Great Mother and understand the suffering and pain she endured!"

"Now I am bathed in the glory of Holy Terra."

day!
Can the out-of-control person be rescued?
Kerrigan's expression was so full of shock that he forgot to run away. He could not help but take a step forward and carefully look at the other person's highly distorted face. The signs of blood and flesh out of control were very obvious. The bone structure of the whole body was mutated, and the hunched body was because his spine was severely twisted.

This person lost control after taking the devil's extraordinary relics. Kerrigan is a half-elf. His former companion had taken the devil's extraordinary relics to advance. When he finally lost control, he was similar to the person in front of him. It was Kerrigan who put her to rest personally.

In the end, she was twisted into a wriggling old hag, her mind split into three, and she grew three hideous and ugly heads. It took Kerrigan a lot of effort to chop off the three heads of her companions.

In the final moments of losing control, the companions became the 'hag coven', and three of the old hag's otherworldly relics exploded inside her.

This cultist is very unusual!
Kerrigan couldn't help but ask, "How did you stay sober and rational when you lost control?"

Hearing the other party's words, Yvon Tanner immediately became energetic. He said in a rhythmic tone: "This is to praise the great sacred Terra! The mother of all things! The spirit of all things! ..."

"And the respected Bishop."

"He brought me out of my madness and into the light of the world."

Holy Terra?

Is this guy really still crazy? What kind of a thing dares to use the name of Holy Terra?
Kerrigan couldn't help but ask, "Who is the Great Mother you serve? I have never heard of the name of this deity before!"

He had come into contact with crazy cultists and even advanced sorcerers, but none of them dared to use such a noble name.

Yvonne Tanner smiled and said, "I serve the earth beneath our feet."

"I serve the sky above our heads."

"The Great Mother is everywhere!... She is the air you breathe!... She is the food you eat!... She is the natural world that nurtures and nourishes you!..."

What kind of terrible evil god is this?

After hearing what the other party said, Kerrigan wanted to run away again, because he suspected that the other party was still crazy, but just looked more normal.

But the last words of this strange priest made him stop in shock.

"She is the planet we live on! ..."

Planet?

Kerrigan looked at the other person as if he was looking at a psychopath. He said in disbelief, "After all this talk, is the Holy Terra you mentioned really Holy Terra?"

The natives have always called this planet Holy Terra, and the name Blue Star was given by outsiders.

Yvonne Tanner nodded calmly, "Yes."

"The Great Mother is Holy Terra."

"Populate our planet!"

day!
This guy must still be crazy.

Kerrigan had seen all kinds of cultists in his many years of adventuring, but this was the first one who worshipped an entire planet as a god.

But at this moment, Yvonne Tanner's expression was very serious. He stared at Kerrigan in front of him and said slowly, "Friend."

"I can feel that your heart is different from others."

“You love this world.”

At this point, he glanced at the Blood Feast Tavern next to him. A hint of enchanting moans could be heard faintly from the third floor. He said seriously, "You still love life."

"So."

"Are you willing to fight for this world? Are you willing to fight for the patron saint, Saint Terra?"

No.

I just came out to have sex with a prostitute and relax my body and mind, how can I love the world?

Kerrigan was a little confused about the other party's train of thought, but he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Does the god you serve and the church have any requirements?"

"Also, can you really redeem those who are out of control?"

The last question is the most critical.

He was already on the threshold of high-level promotion, and the long-term pollution made him a little out of control, of course, not as serious as the other party. It was just after fighting with the old family that he showed some signs of temporary madness. "Of course." Yvonne Tanner said seriously: "The glory of Holy Terra will guide every child who has lost himself!"

"The Bishop will redeem those poor souls who are on the verge of losing control."

Kerrigan couldn't help but consider how credible what the other party said was. He felt like he was really crazy for actually believing this weird priest who looked neurotic.

His intuition and spirituality gave no warning at this moment.

Kerrigan was a promoted assassin, his intuition was fully enhanced, and he even had a little sixth sense, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from the hands of the Old Ones. But now his intuition and spirituality seemed to believe in the other party, but he himself was still hesitating.

"So what is your doctrine?" Kerrigan asked curiously.

Yvonne Tanner said in a tone of praise: "Love this world, love this planet, and fight for the protection of Saint Terra!"

"friend."

"Our doctrine is very relaxed. Strictly speaking, the church is still a loose mutual aid organization. Only when there is uncontrolled pollution does it need to notify the bishop."

"Join us, and you won't be constrained by anything."

"On the contrary, you will get help from other church members. Even when you are about to lose control, the bishop will help you correct yourself."

This sounds more like a crazy cult.

Kerrigan wanted to leave, but for some reason, his spirituality and curiosity seemed to be reluctant but also eager to know more secrets.

He hesitated and asked, "Then is there any ceremony required to join you?"

You will know if he is a real cultist just by asking.

Because cultists all have crazy rituals of corruption and pollution, some even require sacrifices to worship ancient evil creatures, and dark blood sacrifice is a core element.

"nothing now."

Yvonne Tanner shook her head and said, “But we have an ascension ceremony. If you can feel the vast consciousness of Holy Terra and deeply feel the pain of the world, then you can become a priest of the church like me.”

"And serve directly to His Excellency the Bishop."

Your Excellency the Bishop?

Feeling the world's pain? Sounds like a pretty evil ritual.

Yvonne Tanner looked eager and asked, "Friend? Do you want to try it?"

“This ceremony is simple.”

"You only need to touch this emblem with your hand. If you are the one chosen by Holy Terra, then you will be able to feel the pain of the world and the love of the Great Mother for you!..."

Love?
This word seemed to sting Kerrigan in front of him, because the extraordinary people have no love, and the Abyss City has no love either. They are the most depraved and evil group of people.

But Kerrigan looked at the other person's sincere eyes and for some reason wanted to give it a try.

This doesn't look like a deadly satanic ritual.

Just try it.

Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, expose the other party's lies and notify the Devil's Inquisition directly.

The Soul Judge will pull out his soul and torture him severely!
In the other party's hand was a strange silver-white emblem with a blue planet engraved on it. This strange object exuded a gentle spiritual light and there was no sense of evil. Kerrigan had learned to identify strange objects, and the knowledge of the Wanderer Path tended to be extensive, so he knew that this was a normal strange object.

Finally, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Nothing happens.

"Do not."

"That's not it, friend."

Yvonne Tanner patiently instructed: "First, you need to close your eyes and feel your own existence."

"Then, you extend your perception outward to feel the existence of the world."

"Finally, if you are chosen."

"All spirits will guide you back to the embrace of the Great Mother. You will feel the consciousness of countless living beings and the vast consciousness of Holy Terra."

Kerrigan subconsciously performed the ritual according to the other party's instructions.

In an instant!
It was as if his entire soul had exploded, and in the hazy and chaotic sea of ​​consciousness, he touched an incomparably large pan-consciousness collective.

Holy Terra indeed!!!
It is not an evil thing.

At this moment, Kerrigan felt the sky, the earth, and the existence of the entire world.

His consciousness seemed to be looking down at the entire planet from outer space.

For some reason, he suddenly had an urge to cry, as if he was returning to his mother's arms, removing all the shackles in his heart, and immersing himself in the embrace of that huge and gentle pan-conscious collective. She is the mother of all things, she is the spirit of all things, and she gives birth to and raises all living things.

Now, she is suffering from endless pain!

Kerrigan suddenly opened his eyes and felt a trace of the world's pain, but the Great Mother blocked this pain. Before the world's pain reached his heart, in order to protect this weak soul, Holy Terra sent his consciousness back to reality.

in the dark.

Yvonne Tanner looked at Kerrigan calmly and said softly, "You felt it, right?"

"Our world is broken and full of suffering..."

"Holy Terra is still using the last of its strength to maintain the natural vitality of this planet, allowing us to continue to survive and reproduce."

"So."

"Are you willing to fight for Holy Terra, Father Cregan?"

This guy is serious!
Kerrigan was trembling all over, not because of fear or excitement, but because he felt the enormous pan-consciousness aggregate, which was the consciousness aggregate of all living things on the entire planet.

I don’t know how long it took.

In the early morning of the morning in the Abyss City, in the Blood Feast Tavern, a drunken gray dwarf staggered down from the third floor. Even with the strong physique of a gray dwarf warrior, he could only climb down from the third floor by holding on to the wall.

The gray dwarf glanced at the alley next to him and suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

Just as he was about to solve the problem anywhere, two strange figures suddenly appeared behind him.

"friend."

"Friend. Excuse me!"

The strange sound frightened the gray dwarf so much that he almost jumped up. He fumbled in his dimensional bag in a panic, trying to take out his dwarven battle axe, but two strong arms held him down. One of the tall and thin men said in a gentle voice, "Friend. If you don't have anything important to do."

"I want to take a few minutes of your time to tell you about the great mother's gospel!"

"She is the mother of all things! The spirit of all things! The embodiment of the world!"

"She is both the earth and the sky. She is everywhere and knows everything!"

Cultists?!

The gray dwarf shivered all over and his legs almost went weak. He encountered ghosts when he walked on the road at night too much, and today he actually ran into two cultists at once.

As expected, he is a person who loves the world and life.

There are still many customers on the third floor and the night is still long.

A large proportion of the customers who come to the Blood Feast need succubi and banshees to absorb their negative emotions.
