This Paladin is so despicable!.

Chapter 554: Plants vs. Beasts
"Finally, what was supposed to come finally came."

Wright, Emily and others stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the tide of beasts rushing from the northwest with solemn expressions.

Ever since Scarlett reported to him the abnormal fluctuations of dark energy, Wright has been preparing for the possible beast tide.

Everyone was shocked when they looked at the endless tide of beasts.

Emily involuntarily drew out her holy weapon, the crowbar: "In this situation, do we really not need to take action?
It will make a lot of noise, but I think I can still take it down."

"Individuals who are eroded by the Dark Corrosion will first suffer physical damage. However, for some patients who have been ill for a long time, their souls will begin to be corroded."

Emily was stunned for a moment: "Suddenly, what did you say?"

Wright smiled slightly: "I explained it to you before. Why do gods need the power of faith? How much do you remember?"

Emily looked a little embarrassed, her eyes rolling around: "I remember, of course I remember, but... this and that, I don't really know how to express it."

Light squinted at her, "Do you remember that you are a magician? I see that your beast soul has begun to take over recently."

Jenny at the side answered: "The gods gather the power of faith in order to gather divine power."

Wright turned his gaze back to the incoming beast tide: "The so-called power of faith, what is truly valuable is the soul fragments of the believers.

The believers' steadfast and devout offerings cause their souls to produce certain targeted fragments, which are eventually captured by the gods and transformed into their own power.

Gods rely on these beliefs to lay the foundation for their divinity, condense their divine nature, shape their souls, and ascend to the altar.

Faith is the foundation of God.

Of course, there are also some strong people who do not need to collect faith, they prefer to strengthen their own souls.

But in the final analysis, divine power and the soul are closely related."

At this point, Wright pointed at Emily and Jenny and said, "You are both witches, so you should be able to clearly feel the difference between the power of fairy tale elements and the power of witches.

But as the seven lords of the fairy tale kingdom, you also know that the so-called witch power is actually the power of fairy tale elements, plus the longing and belief of different creatures in different planes for fairy tales, which gives rise to success.

This process is like brewing grains and fruits into wine.”

"so……"

Jenny still looked puzzled: "What does this have to do with this beast tide?"

Wright's eyes gradually turned cold: "You should know that the gods are herding the mortal worlds.

They graze tirelessly in one world after another in order to snatch the power of faith, that is, the fragments of the soul, from the intelligent creatures in these worlds.

To be honest, although this method is inefficient, it is still acceptable.

But in this world, there is no such thing as herding. Instead, there are gods who use extremely dangerous and crazy means to gain more benefits.

If we say that the main gods who are constantly grazing in the divine world are nomadic gods.

Then I would like to define the god of this world as the god of farming.

It’s just that he did something extremely barbaric, such as slash-and-burn farming.”

This time, both witches were shocked.

Emily asked in disbelief, pointing at the beast tide approaching in the distance.

"You mean to say that these are the work of God?"

"What's so surprising? There are good and bad people, and of course there are gods too."

Wright stretched out his finger and gestured in the air: "Acquiring soul fragments of intelligent creatures through faith is inefficient, cumbersome, and takes a long time.

Even for a being like a god whose life span is unlimited, it can be boring sometimes. This god uses dark erosion, which is similar to a curse and a disease, to forcibly erode and plunder people's souls through infection.

Use the same method as oil extraction to maximize your own interests.

It’s just that the people of this world are living in dire straits.

Moreover, based on the information provided by Ai Luo, I can roughly figure out his plan.

These beasts are tasked with spreading the plague. Every ten years, they rush out from the God-forsaken Land and complete the harvest, turning the soil, and sowing at the fastest speed.

There is a group of people, the so-called nobles, who have high walls and strong cities, so naturally they have nothing to worry about.

In fact, this group of people are seeds, seeds that prevent human extinction.

Ordinary people who were trapped outside the city and had no one to rely on were the targets of harvesting and selection.

Those humans who cannot be infected by the Dark Corrosion will be killed by the beasts.

Those who can be infected will survive the beast tide, but they will become the host of the dark erosion, and their souls will be harvested every moment.

When the soul can no longer bear the burden, the individual dies.

This is why in the eyes of ordinary people, this disease is a terminal illness and cannot be cured.

Because if it is delayed for too long, the soul will be hollowed out, and even if the patient is expelled, the injury cannot be reversed. "

Emily gritted her teeth at Wright’s explanation: “This is truly an evil god!
So, when are we going to kill him?"

Jenny was about to give some advice, but suddenly realized that the two people in front of her really had the power to slaughter gods, so she wisely chose to keep silent.

Wright waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about fighting and killing all the time. We are civilized people.

There are so many ways that are more cruel than death, why choose the way that will make him most comfortable?

Of course, we will find a way to make him pay the price for his crimes, and then kill him."

Jenny tilted her head and looked at Wright, and asked jokingly, "I didn't expect that you like to uphold justice?"

Wright laughed: "Justice? What I pursue is not something so one-sided and changeable.

I just hope that things are the way they should be. And I have to take action to do that.”

Jenny nodded, chewing on what Wright had just said.

"Is this the way things were supposed to be..."

Jenny looked at Light's profile with a firmer look: "It's really reassuring... Mr. Hunter."

"Huh? What did you call me just now?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask, can those flower fields and lawns really stop all these terrible beasts blessed by the power of dark erosion?"

Wright sneered: "Of course, they have the blessing of Dark Eclipse, and my flowers and plants are also blessed!"

After saying that, Wright raised his hand and pointed his finger at the sky.

"Praise the sun! In the name of light!"

In an instant, the fanatical faith accumulated in the holy mountain gathered at his fingertips and turned into a huge and hot ball of light, which slowly rose amid the worship of the believers.

The light illuminates the flowers and plants!
