Don't call me evil god

Chapter 645#Query the Status of the God of Radiance

Is there anything wrong with what Reverend Terrence said?

In principle, this is indeed feasible.

The power of the void itself is also a kind of power. For example, most monsters don't need to eat normally because a strange "organ" grows in their bodies that can convert the polluting void power into energy to supply the monsters' activities.

This effect is actually very similar to the magic buns made by the [Meal Making Technique] in magic.

The difference is that the former transforms void power, while the latter uses arcane energy to achieve the same effect.

If the pollution caused by the void could be kept within a controllable range, it might indeed provide some effects that are difficult to achieve with magic or divine arts.

The more Pete listened to Pastor Terence's words, the more familiar they sounded to him. He felt as if he had heard them somewhere before.

After thinking about it carefully, Pete realized it.

“Pollution can be controlled and used.”

"Although the power of the void is dangerous, it can also be a help if used properly."

This statement seems to be exactly the same as the concept preached by the messenger of the Church of the Supreme Truth!
The cultists of the Church of Supreme Truth seem to say the same thing!

The messengers claimed that they had obtained the power bestowed by the evil god, which allowed them to retain enough reason and thinking while being polluted by the void, and even to gain control over those brainless and irrational monsters by actively accepting the evil god's power.

These words sound very touching at first glance.

You no longer have to worry about being transformed into a monster, and you can even quickly end the monster red tide disaster because monsters can be controlled.

Actually?

The power bestowed upon the messenger made him neither human nor ghost, and he looked almost the same as a monster.
Moreover, the so-called control of monsters relies on a method similar to sacrifice, which requires a large number of sacrifices to feed.

The situation in the royal capital is also equivalent to promoting the "theory of controllable void pollution", but the means are slightly milder. Instead of directly asking mortals to use their bodies to accept the power of the evil god and be transformed, they use objects that emit pollution.

Pete quickly realized the biggest weakness of this approach:

“I don’t understand, what if these things are used by others?”

"What those lunatics who believe in evil gods like most is to use some polluting items to organize sacrifices and call for the advent ceremony. This will allow them to get twice the result with half the effort. Or do they artificially infuse more void power into it?"

"Reverend Terrence, you have admitted that after using these things, the method of using [Detect Evil] to confirm whether there are cultists hiding in the dark is no longer reliable."

"How can you guarantee that the capital is completely safe and that no evil believers have infiltrated it?"

"Once they seize the opportunity, it is likely to lead to a huge disaster."

Upon hearing this, Reverend Terrence looked slightly unhappy.

He glanced at Pete.

"Sir, I have gone further than you in the practice of the Way of Radiance, and my understanding of the teachings of Radiance is more profound."

"The capital is guarded and protected by powerful holy troops day and night. They are all devout warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. I believe they must have more experience in investigating and eliminating evil followers than you and I."

"This year alone, the Crusaders have uncovered more than 200 groups of cultists who believed in evil gods in the capital, and discovered and handled more than 2000 dangerous items that could cause void contamination."

"The capital is as safe as ever, or even safer than ever."

"With the protection of the powerful Glowing God Cult, no evil god believer can cause damage here, let alone use these special items that are strictly controlled." "There are always priests of the Glowing God Cult in Monger Manor, such as me and others. With us protecting this place, even if we don't use the rigid and harsh divine art of [Detect Evil] to judge, the evil believers will not be able to infiltrate!"

It took Pete a lot of effort to suppress his anger temporarily.

He didn't know how much of Reverend Terrence's words were sincere?

The reality is - the Marquis Madison, who is involved with the cultists and might even be a cultist himself, is standing so brazenly next to Reverend Terrence, and the other party doesn't even suspect him at all!

You call this "cultists can't infiltrate"?
You call this "the capital is as safe as ever"?
Pete was upset because he realized that when these void-polluted items were "rationalized", real evil had room to hide under its cover.

The most useful skill, [Detect Evil], would now be considered a "false positive".

Directly attack the opponent?

The opponent's strength is not fake. Even if Marquis Madison is a cultist, he is also a professional with level 5 strength!
Evil is right in front of him, even about to ride on his face, but Pete has no suitable means to directly expose the problems of Marquis Madison!

……

"No, is that right?"

Norman was also very confused about the situation in Monger Manor!
What he didn't understand was not on the level of mortals, but on the level of gods.

Marquis Madison has already been contaminated by the void to a certain extent, which means that he is definitely closely related to the cultists hidden in the royal capital.

It is understandable that ordinary people cannot see it.

After all, cultists won't go outside and shout about their cult status.

But in front of God, Marquis Madison's condition is clear at a glance!
The information that Pete saw with [The Secrets of All Things] was actually the information that Novan obtained from the divine perspective with [Eye of God].

Norven could see the problem;
If the goddess of illusion, Resti, casts a gaze upon her believers, she will be able to see the problem easily.

This is probably a power of God.

Then, by the same logic, the God of Light Naval should be able to see it too, right? !
He even cast down a divine spell like [Detect Evil], which is obviously able to distinguish between normal states and void pollution.

The cultists have now come before the priests of the Glowing God, but the Glowing God remains indifferent?

Not to mention sending down oracles to guide His followers, namely Father Terrence, to destroy the other party, He didn't even send down a warning or any other reminder.

No matter how much he lets his believers do whatever they want and make their own decisions, when they encounter cult members, he will immediately give instructions and mark the other party's identity to remind his believers.

But the God of Light did not do that.

Norman was completely puzzled.

"What on earth is the God of Radiance doing?"

“What on earth is He thinking?”

"Check the status of the God of Radiance!"
