Don't call me evil god

Chapter 294 Let’s Study How to Defeat the Evil God
Nowen knew where the core of the Illusion Goddess's divine power was hidden by this group of believers.

He didn't even need to use his clerical authority to investigate this kind of thing.

Very simple.

When you communicate with the Goddess of Illusion, just ask her and you will know.

“Who are your followers?”

"What did these guys do when they were causing trouble?"

After a few words of communication, Nowen understood everything.

But knowing this is useless.

Because the core of the problem lies with the other party’s believers!
……

Nowen can probably use an example to describe the situation of the goddess of illusion.

After anchoring the divine authority, the god is equivalent to a container that uses divine power to hold pollution.

The stronger the divine power, the more pollution it can contain.

Power comes from the faith of mortals. In other words, the more believers there are and the more devout their faith, the more powerful the god will be.

This is where the Illusion Goddess’s current situation gets really bad.

His current number of believers is very small, only a few dozen.

The container isn't big enough!
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that the Goddess of Illusion has always had only these dozens of believers.

At the peak of its prosperity, the Church of Illusion had thousands of believers.

At that time, the divine power was strong and the container was solid.

Now...

The container has shrunk, but the pollution accumulated inside has not shrunk!

This is the most difficult part to deal with.

This is also the reason why the Illusion Goddess is about to collapse after only being "born" for more than ten years.

The solution the Goddess of Illusion tried to provide was: He should simply stop being a god.

Genocide route.

Nowen arranged for his followers to kill all the members of the Illusion Church.

Then, before the Goddess of Illusion is completely polluted, the core of the divine power is destroyed and the priesthood is destroyed.

The goddess Resti claimed that she had a way to avoid being buried with the priesthood when it was destroyed.

But Nowen, out of his own ideas, plans to take another route:
Theocracy transfers!

Transfer the authority of the Goddess of Illusion to the God of Knowledge, that is, yourself!

The step of performing the [Transfer Ceremony] for the core of theocracy is not only the business of the two gods, but also involves the mortal believers of the corresponding gods.

The anchoring of priesthood and divine authority is a symbolic concept.

The transfer and transformation of authority also requires mortals to provide faith in this process, which takes a certain amount of time to complete.

To put it simply, the followers of Nowen have to find a way to deal with these guys in the Church of the Goddess of Illusion, and make them accept that the authority of the Goddess of Illusion has disappeared. From now on, there will be no Church of Illusion, and they will not be able to continue using divine magic like they do now.

Even if there is a magic with the same effect in the future, it will become a magic of seeking knowledge.

And during this process, Nowen's believers cannot make various promises at will.

Recognition gained through coaxing, threatening, forcing, etc. has no symbolic effect.

They must accept it willingly.

……

Sep, Pete and Brandon appeared in the illusion of the Paradise Palace, and soon attracted the attention of the followers of the Illusion Church who were enjoying various pleasures.

Pete was deeply moved.

These guys he saw in the dilapidated church in the real world looked like living dead, with skinny faces and muscles that had severely atrophied from lying still for so long.

But in the fantasy world of Paradise Palace, there are handsome men and beautiful women. The male believers have their own characteristics, some make themselves look strong and masculine, some have a graceful and bookish temperament, some have the feeling of a mystic scholar, and some have the style of a noble.

The situation is similar for a few female believers.

There were either young women with proud S-shaped curves or middle-aged women dressed like noble ladies. Pete even saw a beautiful woman in a royal dress.

"What the hell."

"I'm afraid it's only in illusions that one can wear all kinds of clothes so freely. After all, it's all just imagination."

Pete knew how "painful" it was to wear this dress, which was only worn on important occasions.

It is extremely complicated to put on and requires the help of more than a dozen maids. In order to maintain the beautiful shape of the dress, a steel frame weighing several kilograms is even placed inside to make it look upright and gorgeous.

It was barely comfortable and even moving around was difficult.

But in the illusion of the Paradise Palace, these people can still dance with others wearing such things.

Pete guessed why.

The people of the Church of Illusion probably only imagined the appearance of the dress, just like putting a coat on themselves, it looks beautiful on the outside, but there is nothing on the inside.

Handsome men and elegant women soon gathered around Sep.

Their "way of movement" is also unique.

Some were carried in sedan chairs;
Someone waved and opened a dark blue "portal", stepped into it, and then appeared in another place out of thin air;
Some people even grew wing-like light wings on their backs, flew up on the spot, and glided slowly all the way over.

The latter two seem quite inconsistent.

For example, the structure of the portal was completely different from what Pete had heard about at Carron Academy;
For example, the flying guy, the flapping effect of his wings behind him does not match his gliding trajectory at all.

After all, the existence of illusions relies on the imagination of the constructor, or in other words, on the cognition of the constructor.

People cannot imagine things beyond their own cognition.

They could only make guesses based on what they knew, which resulted in a bunch of weird things.

These followers of the Church of Illusion gathered around Sepp, and before Pete could open his mouth to introduce them, a young man dressed in "bright and colorful" clothes spoke first.

The other person was wearing a colorful long shirt, with his lower body bare, his hair was colorful as if he had run a dyeing factory, and there were all kinds of colorful tattoos on his skin.

"Thup!"

"What have you done! Why are there outsiders in the Paradise Palace?!"

"Are you doing this to us? Are you doing this to the Goddess of Illusion? The church is in such a critical moment right now, and you actually brought outsiders here!"

"Are you crazy!"

Pete's eyes widened.

He could never have imagined that the first sentence the other party said after opening his mouth would be to accuse Sep!
Soon, Pete found out the reason for the accusation.

"The number of [Illusion Fragments] is already decreasing, and it's already difficult to maintain the existence of the Great Illusion."

"Bringing outsiders here will definitely consume more [Illusion Fragments] in order to influence their cognition!"

Pete took a deep breath.

"I'm not angry... I'm not angry... They just don't understand us yet. They don't know that we are here to help the Goddess of Illusion..."

The colorful young man gave an overbearing tone and ordered:

"Now, immediately, immediately, Patriarch Sep! Drive them out!"

"Every second they stay here is a waste of our precious [Illusion Fragments]!"

Pete can't hold it anymore!

"Brandon, why don't we pray to the God of Knowledge and study how to fight the evil god."

"I now feel that destroying the evil god should be easier than helping these guys!"
