Ah, can it still be like this? Well, first of all, wouldn't these cult believers who knew Outer Deity's true identity have been contaminated and driven into madness... Well, isn't this pollution not the uncontrollable spillover of Outer Deity's power, but their selective interaction?
When I was fighting "Manipulator" Hvin Rambis, my Mirror Person also used this trick to bury the dangerous concept of "Outer Deity" into his mind. Although he was a member of "Psychology Alchemists", he did not believe in the evil god. Instead, he was contaminated and died on the spot...
Angel's thoughts turned around and he quickly understood the nature of "Outer Deity" pollution.
For these cult believers, knowing the identity of "Outer Deity" is not the only condition for being polluted. Compared with the mutation Treant, which is the same as Cynthia, these entities are located outside the barrier and are difficult to affect the inside. Outer Deity prefers that his subordinates are a group of rational humans who can lurk in normal society, so they will not contaminate the other party with their personality and power immediately after establishing contact, and will even take the initiative to provide some "gifts" so that believers can better preach.
Of course, this kind of "preferential treatment" must be limited to a small number of core believers, otherwise the information of "Outer Deity" would have been leaked long ago, instead of being spread only among Angel.
Thinking of this, Angel has a new question:
"So, the cult believers themselves will not be contaminated by Outer Deity, so why don't they publicize their existence? As long as they hear and see relevant information and form a clear concept in their minds, they will be watched by Outer Deity. Isn't that a very convenient 'weapon of mass destruction'?"
"Indeed, as long as these believers spread information about 'Great Old One' and 'Outer Deity' in big cities at the same time, or even chant their Honorific Name, a large number of ordinary people will be polluted. Just like you in Limon City today The battle in the suburbs of showed that Mythical Creature Form was the same. If you and Weather Warlock had not restrained themselves, and War Fog had blocked most of the divine influence, the soldiers below would have been contaminated, gone mad or died immediately."
Mirror Person nodded, affirming Angel's statement, and then asked in an inductive manner:
"But if this happens, what will happen next? Think about the worst possibility."
The worst possibility... Angel thought for a moment and replied:
"First of all, printing leaflets in advance or using some extraordinary abilities can greatly improve the communication efficiency. If you use the latest radios and loudspeakers, you can even publicize the existence of 'Outer Deity' in multiple cities at the same time... Calculating that one person can influence a thousand people, hundreds of Outer Deity believers acting at the same time, coupled with the problems caused by subsequent pollution, may lead to millions of deaths, which is equivalent to the casualties caused by a 'Level 0' Sealed Artifact that is completely out of control...
"This is equivalent to ten Backlund Great Smog, but it is far inferior to Pale Calamity, and even inferior to several major plagues that have swept across the continent... You mean, the effect of this kind of 'mass destruction' is not good?"
"On the contrary, the effect is so good that even Outer Deity is scared. "Mirror Person chuckled and looked up at the broken sky of Mirror World, as if looking at the covetous "Great Old One" through a barrier, "Millions of people died in a short period of time, and they died crazy and out of control under the pollution of Outer Deity. For the God they believed in It is a huge blow. The reduction of 'anchor' will cause them to maintain the fragile balance between humanity and divinity, and the confrontation with Mental Imprint in Beyonder Characteristic. God will fall into madness, attack each other, rob and devour Beyonder Characteristic and Uniqueness. What will be the final result?"
"God have fallen one after another. The earth has lost its last hope and can only wait for Apocalypse to come?"
Angel replied subconsciously, then shook his head.
This kind of thing will only make Outer Deity ecstatic, so how can it make them afraid?
If these beings who have transcended Sequence 0 and reached the Great Old One level are afraid of anything, it can only be...
"The further convergence of the madness of God and Beyonder Characteristic will give the Creator of Oldest One a chance to recover? "Electricity flashed in her mind and she murmured, "That Creator set up a barrier before his death to give himself a chance to wake up again under the influence of Extraordinary Characteristic Aggregation. But once he appears, the Outer Deitys can only flee in a hurry, and will not have another chance to get what they want?"
"That's right."
Mirror Person replied with a smile.
If so, is there any opportunity for the earth to use this as a threat to solve the Apocalypse crisis with minimal losses in exchange for the Outer Deitys leaving?
Such an idea popped into Angel's mind, but he felt that it was not practical at all. Even if Original Creator could indeed be revived, the biggest loss would be to the earth. Outer Deity would at most just slap their butts and walk away, without any gain or loss.
Unless, that Original Creator can completely stand on the earth's side and become our fighting force, but how is this possible... She sighed and found that Mirror Person standing in front of her also sighed lightly, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Suddenly, both of them frowned at the same time, their expressions became serious, and they looked upward.
Since Bernadette will take action at any time, before entering "City of Calamity", Angel left a Mirror Substitution behind the shallow, ordinary Mirror World to monitor the situation of Leusel Harbor and pay attention to whether Bernadette needs help.
At this time, they all sensed the call of Bernadette, who had recited Honorific Name before, so they still maintained a certain degree of contact.
On the west coast of Intis Republic, the outlet of the Serenzo River, there is an abandoned warehouse located in a remote location of Leusel Harbor.
A team of "Machinery Hivemind" is cleaning up a messy battlefield. The ground is full of holes made by large-caliber ammunition and explosives. The entire outer wall of the warehouse is riddled with holes and is almost collapsed. The ground is full of stains and debris, making it impossible to tell what they used to be.
However, it can be inferred from the little blood stains on Star that they may have been part of a certain cultist "before death".
These "Machinery Hivemind" were obviously well-trained. They quickly searched every corner of the warehouse, burned and destroyed any suspicious objects, carefully collected the small amount of Beyonder Characteristic that separated from the ashes, and used portable cameras to take pictures of meaningful-looking graphics. They spoke few words and acted skillfully.
But no one noticed that by a small window at the top of the warehouse, a hidden Invisible Servant was quietly watching below, taking in their actions.
Everything it sees is being transmitted through "Eyes of Mystery Prying" to "Queen Mystic" Bernadette not far away. The latter quietly watches the actions of "Machinery Hivemind" and has no intention of approaching the warehouse.
Of course, she did not come here just to watch the operation to annihilate the evil sect, but she predicted that Saint among the followers of "School of Truth" and "Great Mother" would appear in this stronghold, so she hid in the dark, ready to help the official Beyonder at any time, and get first-hand information by the way.
However, the prophecy rarely went wrong. There were only some ordinary believers in the warehouse who were stubbornly resisting. The highest one was Sequence 6, who quickly collapsed under the sufficient firepower of "Machinery Hivemind". The Saint who accompanied the team did not even have a chance to take action.
In the process of arresting cult members, such "accidents" are not uncommon, because prophecies and divination will often make mistakes for believers who believe in the existence of evil, and those who are accurate have a high probability of being perceived by the other party in advance, which will lead to the failure of the prophecy.
Therefore, Bernadette was not discouraged. After "Machinery Hivemind" completed cleaning the battlefield, it recovered Invisible Servant and prepared to leave the port and return to "Dawn" docked nearby.
But she had just left the hotel where she was hiding with Spirit World, and stepped into Spirit World with Mystical Item. Before she had time to shuttle, she felt that the original environment with rich colors and chaotic distance relationships around her became dim, as if the light was blocked by some mirrors.
Enemy attack!
Bernadette immediately ruled out the possibility of straying into the depths of Spirit World and being affected by the negative effects of Mystical Item on his body. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hands, condensed a dark ancient horn with his left hand, put it to his mouth and blew it. With his right hand, he grabbed an unrealistic bright wool ball and threw it directly.
The horn conveyed a low roar, sweeping past her like a wave. With the superposition of the sound waves, the shadow rushing towards her retreated instantly. Several successive sounds of glass shattering were heard, and cracks appeared in the strange space surrounding her.
The ball of wool rolled in a certain direction and quickly disappeared, leaving only a piece of thread to guide her.
It seems that the attacker's level is only up to Saint. They originally planned to ambush Church of Steam's Demigod, but they found me peeking?
Thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind, but his body followed the thread guiding the direction without any pause, preparing to leave Spirit World who was acting abnormally.
As for counterattack, you can wait until you are out of danger and use prophecy to locate the attacker!
She followed the bright ball of wool and quickly returned to the normal Spirit World with rich color blocks. She walked quickly in a magical world where the distance and direction were different from reality. She landed on the golden block representing her flagship "Dawn" and immediately left Spirit World.
But what appeared in front of her was not the familiar deck and mast, but the interior of the warehouse filled with smoke and the smell of blood.
Her landing point was "Distortion", and she returned to the battlefield where "Machinery Hivemind" fought fiercely with the cultists!
The official Beyonders who were cleaning the battlefield a few minutes ago have fallen to death one after another, their faces full of horror, and their deaths were horrific. Their guns and Mystical Item were thrown on the floor. The "alchemist" who raided the array was nowhere to be seen. Apart from Bernadette, there was only one person standing in the warehouse.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Queen Mystic, Princess, Ms. Bernadette Gustav."
"King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon said in a sarcastic tone as if chanting Honorific Name.
