Yabirne hid behind Eluri and looked at Tang En timidly. The Saintess who claimed to be her could give her a sense of security.
Tang En was quite speechless. "She seems to be very afraid of strangers … Hasn't Nisclaire unlocked her memory yet?"
Aegwynn smiled bitterly and said, "Since it's already like this, of course the Goddess has already unlocked him. She's now Yerbil, but her personality seems to have been affected by the gender change …"
Tang En was speechless.
Looking at the timid girl, Tang En found it hard to believe that she was the daughter of himself and Olina. It was also hard to believe that she was the God of Light who had once ruled the whole world.
After chatting with Eluri for a while, Tang En finally understood the awkward situation of the Radiant Church.
When the gods descended, order collapsed, darkness swallowed the light, and all races were forced to go to the underground world to survive. Because of the characteristics of the creatures of Chaos, the gods could not help them, and the artificial intelligence could only watch them suffer. This series of terrible things made people completely disappointed in their original beliefs.
Compared to believing in the gods, it was better to work hard on one's own.
Some believers had such an awareness.
No one had the time to go to the church to pray during a disaster. Even the members of the church had changed their weapons and equipment and stepped onto the battlefield. Jesolini was no exception. In such a situation, there was no need for faith to exist.
When people understood that faith was not reliable, and that the most reliable were themselves and their companions, the religious system quietly and naturally disintegrated from the inside.
People still respected the Pope and the Saintess, and people still believed that the gods had great power, but they would no longer blindly worship them.
The traditional religious forces began to weaken, but at this time, the evil forces took the opportunity to awaken.
The evil cultists, who had been thought to have been cleaned up, had been disguised all these years. Whether it was eating or acting, they were no different from ordinary people.
"It's the 'victim' principle," Lola explained.
Lola explained, "When we were cleaning up the cultists, there was a group of people who claimed that they were coerced into believing in the cult. Considering the principle of peaceful and stable development, we released them and registered them. We kept an eye on them, and later found that they were indeed like ordinary people, so we gradually relaxed our vigilance."
"I just didn't expect that when the disaster struck, they would take advantage of the fact that we were fighting against the army of Chaos to sabotage and spread the cult ideology."
"After the Ghost Agents captured them again, they understood that there was a principle in their teachings. As long as they thought they were being persecuted, they could disguise themselves."
Eluri was also helpless. "Based on this principle, we have no idea how many cultists there are until they actively expose themselves. Recently, there have been a lot of cultist incidents, and Aurelia is also having a headache."
"After these cultists were captured, they tried to use the victim principle to escape punishment. To reduce the trouble, we simply implemented the war regulations."
Laura waved her hand: "If you find any cultists, kill them on sight."
Although the method was cruel, in the current situation, it was the most effective way. After implementing the strict war regulations, many cultists were killed, and the security of the cities improved a lot.
"It's rare to see cultists secretly preaching like today. It's probably because the war situation outside has been tense recently, and the internal forces are empty, so they have emerged again."
Aiguin frowned. "These guys are really annoying. If one of them is not dealt with, they will spread like a plague."
Tang En narrowed his eyes. "Let's leave it at that for now. After defeating the invasion of the army of Chaos, Yerbierni can use his divine power to screen the cultists. There will be plenty of time to deal with them."
If they couldn't defeat the army of Chaos, then all of them would die. It didn't matter whether there were cultists or not.
After understanding the general situation, Tang En and Aiguin said goodbye to Laura and Eluri and continued to walk along the street.
Along the way, the situation that he saw made Tang En silent. It was no wonder that after the decline of the true religion, cultists would still breed. The underground city was now filled with an atmosphere of despair. Looking at the darkness at the top of the cave, people had almost forgotten what the original blue sky and white clouds looked like in just over two years.
If it wasn't for their strong minds, they would have been driven crazy by the environment just by living here for a while.
After taking the central elevator all the way up to the surface of Ellington, Tang En's mood became even heavier.
Outside the shield, there was no trace of light in the sky. The roars of the Megalosaurus rose and fell one after another. The main energy cannon of the floating island fortress was rapidly condensing energy, and energy particles were constantly gathering. In the distance, outside the city of Ellington, it was already covered by Chaos creatures that covered the mountains and plains like a tide.
On the plains, the Gates of Chaos were scattered like stars in the sky. Often, after the warriors destroyed one, another would open a new one in another place. The power of Chaos had the absolute upper hand, and Order had been completely suppressed.
"We … we have so many weapons and equipment, but it's still not enough …"
Tang En muttered to himself. In the huge Prandal, now there were only six cities that were still hanging on on the surface …
Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation and despair in his heart.
"It shouldn't be like this … It shouldn't be like this …"
Tang En muttered to himself. The silent Aiguin brought him into the elevator. His vision was getting farther and farther, but he couldn't see a glimmer of hope. No matter how far he looked, he could only see Chaos creatures raging on the ground. The decayed land was spreading the aura of Chaos, and a large number of magical beasts had also become twisted and ferocious monsters.
"Now, the only place you can see green in Prandal is probably the Emerald Forest."
Aiguin whispered, "But I'm afraid that place won't be able to hold on for long."
The Emerald Forest was the place with the most vigorous life in Prandal. It was where the World Tree was located. Now, it was the only place that hadn't been attacked by Chaos creatures.
"Maybe … now is the time for us to repeatedly exercise our lives … Mmm!"
Before Aiguin could finish her words, she was kissed by Tang En. After kissing her fiercely, Tang En growled, "Don't despair, we still have hope!"
But … was there really any hope?
After leaving the elevator, just as they arrived outside the command hall, they heard Fiona's angry roar, "No! I will never allow you to do this! "
"What are you still holding on for!? The situation is so dangerous now, we have to use all means at our disposal! "
This voice was a little familiar, but also a little strange …
"Give up!" Fiona said angrily, "Tang En didn't agree at the beginning, he must have his own considerations! And I won't agree to it! "
Tang En was full of doubts. What could make Fiona so agitated?
He nodded to the stunned guard at the door, then pushed the door open and entered with Aiguin.
"Who is it? Tang En!?"
The agitated Fiona suddenly froze, then broke down. She flashed and hugged him, crying and laughing, "You're awake! You're finally awake! This is great! Great! "
"Thank you for your hard work."
Tang En patted Fiona, turned his head and looked in front, then he suddenly froze.
In addition to them, there were a few people in the room. The two people standing at the front looked a little familiar, but Tang En was not sure.
"Why are you here?"
Aiguin looked at them in surprise. "It's very dangerous outside now. It's better for you to hide at home and continue to recultivate your spells."
The middle-aged man in front snorted coldly. "Hmph, in this situation, by the time we regain our original strength, the world will have been destroyed!"
Tang En was stunned and exclaimed, "Jean!?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Then … you're Angus?"
"Nonsense."
Looking at the two people who suddenly became younger, Tang En didn't know what to say. He had been used to the two's original image of old men. Now they suddenly became so energetic and so much younger, it was hard for him to adapt.
"It seems that the Spring of Nisclaire has brought you more benefits than you thought."
Tang En looked at them. "You've lost all your strength, and now you've recovered to the level of a guru? This is already very fast! "
Although they had lost all their strength after their rebirth, the two had the experience and knowledge of their predecessors, so it was not a problem for them to recultivate their magic power. In just two years, they had recovered from zero to the level of a guru. This speed was enough to show disdain for the heroes.
"Not enough, not enough!"
Jean shook his head. "If we hadn't died in battle, the line of defense wouldn't have collapsed like this now. It's all because we're not strong enough."
Tang En immediately said, "Don't blame yourself. The enemy is too strong."
"We need to become stronger, and Prandal also needs more strong people!"
Angus said righteously. "So, please allow us to use Dobin's technology!"
"Dobin's technology …"
Tang En muttered to himself, and suddenly his face changed slightly. "You're eyeing Dobin's biological transformation technology!? You've done experiments again!? "
Dobin said hesitantly, "Not long after you entered the Gate of Chaos, our analysis and animal experiments were completed. After many repeated comparisons and blank experiments, we have mastered the way to make creatures immune to psionic radiation through genetic mutation. In other words, they can be qualified to use psionic energy."
Tang En shivered. Dobin's words were said lightly, but in fact, it meant that they now had the ability to create gods in batches!
What were gods? A group of lucky people who accidentally mastered part of the power of the Void, and the conventional power they mastered was psionic energy!
Now, they could obtain the ability to use psionic energy through biological transformation technology. If this was not creating gods in batches, what was it?
