Chapter 2: The Beginning of Heavenly Collapse
Novan looked at his group of "believers" through the eyes of God with complicated emotions.
He felt that the mortals in this world seemed to have misunderstood him.
Through the power of faith provided by the prayers of these black-robed people, Noven understood the divine power he possessed.
The "Power of Hada's Hunger" requested by the man in black robe is actually a powerful magic called "Hatha's Hunger" that is cast by constructing a spell model.
Novin cast his gaze and accepted the prayers of the believers, and in an instant he mastered all the knowledge about this spell without any teacher. He knew all the information about the various variants, optimizations, and advancements from its birth to the present. , all under control, both understanding and proficiency directly reach the top level that is unparalleled in the world.
And as long as he consumes part of his divine power, he can directly and quickly impart knowledge and power to his followers.
Even if the believer is a layman who has never tried to cast a spell, he can immediately become a top master who is proficient in the spell through this god-given power.
Novin thought about it, his priestly power is simply ridiculously strong. You must know that for ordinary mortals, this is equivalent to skipping the original long process of research, learning, and proficiency, and even ignoring various external conditions such as talent. Restrictions, as long as the gods give power, mortals can directly and fully master the relevant skills.
But here's the crux of the problem.
Logically speaking, this kind of cheating divine power should be sought after by a large number of mortals.
But in Noven's divine perception, except for those "prayer calls" that may have been received by him just because he accidentally mentioned information related to him, at this moment, there were only this group of people whom he was looking at with the eyes of God, as if they were The people in black robes acting like cultists prayed to him in a very specific direction.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Noven felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for the moment.
…
At the ceremony site in the underground cave, the leader of the black-robed man felt a wave of divine power that was different from their usual when praying and offering sacrifices. He suddenly felt excited and shouted:
"Brothers and sisters! The Great All-Knowing Father! He has finally answered us! I feel it! I feel His gaze!"
"For the great Lord, we are willing to sacrifice everything! Follow the Lord's guidance! Please lead us and witness the truth of the world!"
Looking at the pious look of these black-robed men, Noven made a decision:
"Cultists are cultists! At least these people can provide me with the power of faith! Only with more sources of faith can the sect be expanded."
"Besides, it's not like cultists can't guide them toward good, and there's no distinction between good and evil in power itself. The most important thing is how to use it!"
In this world where gods exist, the relationship between believers and gods is two-way.
Gods need faith to maintain their existence, and mortals need the power of blessings from gods.
Mortals can choose to provide faith to different corresponding gods, and through devout prayers or rituals, have a chance to receive blessings from the gods.
At the same time, mortals must also abide by the guidance or commandments of the gods. Otherwise, the gods can choose to withdraw the divine power given by them at any time and no longer accept the belief of this mortal.
Of course, in this two-way choice relationship, there is no doubt that God will take more initiative.
If a believer's behavior does not meet the requirements of the god, he can be "blacklisted" unilaterally at any time. What the god loses is only a source of faith power, while the believer may lose most of his power immediately.
Noven had similar thoughts at the moment.
If the mortals in this world really have any misunderstandings about his image, then he can start by accepting these black-robed people, give them strength, and then gradually improve Noven's reputation by guiding their actions!
“Let’s start with the leader and see the effect of granting divine power.” Noven tried to establish a channel of divine power between him and the believers. After a burst of illusory fluctuations, Novan injected his power into the leader. Inside the body of a man in black robe.
"I have seen it! The reality of this world, yes, I have witnessed everything with my own eyes... uh... uh...!"
When the man in black robe received the power from the gods with his voice full of ecstasy, a sudden change occurred.
I saw that his body under the black robe swelled up without warning. The originally thin figure swelled to a full 4 or 5 meters in height in just a few seconds. Countless corrupted blood clots and ugly bodies grew rapidly out of thin air. The sarcoma burst through the black robe, accompanied by painful screams, layers of flesh and blood, and countless eyeballs, mouthparts and tentacles growing on its terrifying body.
At this moment, Noven's silence was deafening.
He finally realized what he felt was wrong before: "What's wrong, it's not that the world has a misunderstanding of me, but that I seem to have a misunderstanding of myself."
"No wonder only these guys are willing to offer their faith to me. It turns out that I am the evil god myself!"
His so-called priestly power of knowledge and enlightenment can indeed instantly understand and master knowledge and skills when receiving relevant demands from believers. But along with the transmission of divine power, Noven could clearly feel that there was an aura of chaos and disorder in his power!
As a god, Novan will not be affected by it, but for mortals, the impact of this chaotic atmosphere is enough to instantly destroy their minds, causing mortals to undergo severe distortion and turn into irrational monsters!
The people in black robes at the ceremony witnessed the leader transforming into a monster, and had two completely different reactions.
Several members closer to the altar became even more crazy, and they all shouted fanatically: "The great Lord has finally awakened!"
"Return to the arms of Father God!"
"All futures are open to us!"
Several men in black robes were shouting at the top of their lungs while fervently kneeling down to worship the ugly aberration that had just completed its transformation.
There are even those who are completely crazy and take the initiative to rush into the "embrace" of the aberrations.
There was a spooky sound of bones mixed with flesh being crushed and chewed, and fresh human bodies were integrated into it. The body of the aberration became even larger, and more tentacles continued to grow from its body, moving around. Waving it, tasting the sweetness makes it start to look for new ingredients excitedly.
As for the peripheral men in black robes, they were howling like ghosts and trembling with fear. Some of the timid ones could even see suspicious water stains on their black robes.
This scene simply contains all the elements that a villain should have.
Those who are vying to become monsters, even willing to sacrifice their own lives to God, are obviously fanatical lunatics who are hopeless;
Those who were about to be scared out of their wits were most likely a group of unlucky people who were unaware and were deceived into preparing to sacrifice them all to Noven.
Norwin's missionary career has ushered in a standard start of collapse!
