Don't call me evil god

Chapter 544 Participating in the Grand Event
Nowen did not restrict his believers on the issue of how to deal with fellow travelers and those who were blessed by God.

Theoretically, these dwarves who have been brainwashed by the cultists can be saved.

Because their souls have not been completely reshaped, the devil's operation only covers them with a layer of "shell".

If they could find the devil and remove these shells, and then let them reshape their bodies through the creation altar controlled by Nowen, they would be able to return to normal.

But this operation only exists in theory.

Not to mention that Noven didn't find a devil to cooperate with.

Even if he found it, there were limitations to the part that could be used to reshape the body.

There are only so many followers of Nowen, or rather, his followers.

The mass resurrection of Ceylon Eternal Night relied on the soul backup of the Illusion Goddess who almost turned evil and overturned, which brought thousands of victims back to life.

There is no such chance this time.

If you want these brainwashed dwarves to reshape their bodies, you must first make them believers of Norwen before they can use the Altar of Creation.

Norwen couldn't simply not accept other believers just to save these dwarves, right?
Nowen did not intend to interfere in such matters. He left the power of choice to the believers themselves.

If the believers feel they can control these guys and are not afraid that they will be affected by cultists or other forces again before they recover to normal, they can spare their lives.

If the believers simply hunt them down to be on the safe side and plunder the rewards of destiny points and legendary experience from them, Nowen has no objection.

Anyway, for Nowen, there is no difference between the two.

The divine power he deserves will not be reduced at all, the only difference is the time it takes.

……

After brainwashing the Merciful Ones, the Seeking-Knowledge believers can also use this opportunity to sneak into the second floor of the Stone Fortress.

As long as a God-merciful dwarf from one of the nine clans invites them in, they can stay there for a while.

It was enough for them to find their target and launch an attack.

Especially the second-level platform of the stone fortress, the area where the nine major clans are located.

With a population of less than 10,000, more than half have been infiltrated by cultists.

What is this concept?
Randomly pick 100 Stone Fort dwarves from the nine major clans, line them up, and execute the unlucky ones who may have been wrongly accused one by one;
But if we execute every other person, there will definitely be some that slip through the net.

The level of infiltration of cultists here is so serious that there is more than a 50% chance that they will indiscriminately attack any dwarf they see.

Experienced seekers of knowledge, with the help of God's mercy, have developed a complete killing process.

First use the merciful one as bait, find a random reason to seek help, and lead the target to a remote, inconspicuous corner.

The unity of the dwarves became a trait that could be exploited at this time.

Although there is a difference in status between the nine clans and ordinary dwarves, the difference is not as great as that between nobles and ordinary people in the Kingdom of Reyak. As long as a dwarf asks for help, other dwarves will help to the best of their ability.

The so-called request for help has become part of fishing bait.

Once the trap is introduced, they will naturally use every possible means.

Digging holes, putting on sacks, pulling trip ropes, throwing bricks, and even throwing ashes in front of your eyes!
The attack was directed directly at the vital points!

Kill it as quickly as possible.

Those who often hunt down cult members know that it is easy to kill someone but difficult to dispose of the body.

Since it was a large-scale secret hunt, not only did they have to make little noise when they did it, so as not to attract other people's attention, but they also had to properly dispose of the bodies, so that the "disappearance" of the person involved would be discovered as late as possible. Fortunately, the unique environment of the Stone Fort provided a unique opportunity for the believers seeking knowledge.

On the inside of the platform is the lava lake and the furnace.

If you want to keep it simple, just throw the body into the lava lake.

The disadvantage is that the process of disposing of the body may be witnessed by others.

If you want to be safe, then use the melting pot as well!

There is no need to even change it, the melting furnace turns into a crematorium in seconds.

The high heat of the magma and the blazing flames can melt a dwarf even if his body is made of stone!

After killing the cultists, they stuffed them into carts used to transport ore, gave them a little disguise, and then had the merciful ones pretend to be going to the smelter to smelt metal minerals.

Throwing the corpse into the furnace and burning it into ashes directly is an absolutely safe and covert method of destroying the corpse!
……

The believers in the stone fortress began to hunt down the cultists vigorously, and the progress was encouraging.

The actions of those knowledge-seeking believers who went to the depths of Lingyi Wetland to "join in the event" were originally going smoothly.

Bacon and Lancelot killed everyone in the excavation site belonging to the Barbarian Clan.

Strictly speaking, the scale of this excavation site is not particularly large.

There were only a few dozen dwarves in charge of the excavation work, and less than a hundred including the guards.

Add a few cultists who will not be stationed permanently, and that is the entire personnel composition of the excavation site.

With the help of [Real-time Navigation] to confirm their position, they had the advantage of launching a surprise attack first. Although Bacon and his men were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the fact that the enemy was in the open and they were in the dark allowed them to make their move only after ensuring safety, thus defeating them one by one.

When the "twilight hour" that the cultists were waiting for arrived, Bacon had set up dense traps in the stone chamber in advance, and others were also ready for an ambush.

Their results were remarkable.

At the same time, he faced three cultists participating in the sacrifice ceremony and a dozen accompanying wild pickaxe dwarves.

At the cost of Sam's death, Lancelot's serious injury, Dolan's left leg broken and his right eye blinded, this group of enemies was completely wiped out!
The advantage of the Nowen believers is that they are able to fight with their lives when necessary.

As long as I can make back my money, I don’t mind dying.

Even if you can't retrieve your own body, it will take less than 2 legendary experience points to upgrade back to level 6000.

The rewards provided to them by the enemies they eliminated that day alone could make up for most of the lost legendary experience, not to mention the gain in destiny points.

Although the four-man team was nearly wiped out, they did manage to kill the cultists in the excavation site who might have passed the message back to Stone Fort, buying precious time for the hunt at Stone Fort.

Normally, they would not discover anything unusual in the Manhao family's excavation site until the next group of cultists arrived or the Church of the Supreme Truth realized that these members were missing.

of course.

After the Stone Fort launched the hunt, there must be more than just one or two cultists who "disappeared".

By the time more believers in seeking knowledge arrived at the excavation site following the location posted by Bacon and cleaned up the remaining wild pickaxe dwarves that had been contaminated and transformed into followers of the evil god, they finally had time to deal with the horrific monster that was suppressed in the stone wall.

How can we inflict damage to it and completely resolve this potentially huge threat?
