Don't call me evil god

Chapter 967 Cave and Light Gate

"What is it? Describe it in detail?"

Resti was very surprised.

Like Nowen, she was paying attention to the believers in the investigation team and also discovered the abnormal dual-world phenomenon in the Howling Abyss.

But she was still confused as to how this abnormality occurred.

The only thing that is certain is that it is definitely related to the power that comes from the void.

Norven smacked his lips.

"I'm not completely sure yet, it's just a guess."

"But if I'm not mistaken, they should be very close to the evidence to confirm this speculation."

Resti was speechless: "I hate the Riddler, no, the Riddle God!"

……

Howling Abyss, inside the "mountain".

After closing the [Cognitive Protection Barrier], everyone successfully followed the three dark elves into the cave.

Shrouded in thick darkness, the ground beneath their feet was more solid and flat than the believers had imagined.

When outside, there were almost no signs of human modification in the surrounding environment. The rugged soil and rocks made it difficult for everyone to trek.

But even in the cave with extremely poor visibility, walking feels like walking on flat ground.

We advanced in the dark for several minutes.

It suddenly becomes clear before my eyes!
It was as if they had stepped into an area protected by some kind of barrier, and the darkness quickly dissipated.

A ray of light flooded into everyone's sight.

The soft and bright light even made the knowledge-seeking believers who were accustomed to the illumination of the phantom fire in the deep area feel a bit of photophobia and subconsciously closed their eyes.

After a few seconds.

When they saw the environment clearly, some people almost couldn't control the intoxicated expression they were supposed to maintain.

The spacious and empty mountain cave has obvious signs of artificial excavation. The edge of the cave is a flat and smooth rock wall, which is covered with relief patterns with various patterns.

The entire cave is approximately several thousand square meters in size and has a roughly square structure.

Almost all light comes from a ball of light suspended in the air in the center of the cave.

Several black and red illusory chains surrounded the ball of light, as if imprisoning it there.

It continued to emit a bright light of pale blue, but after being refracted by the illusory chains, the light took on a hint of scarlet.

What shocked everyone was that.

The situation in this cave can only be described as awe-inspiring!
Closest to the entrance, there were piles of dazed, emaciated gray dwarves with intoxicated expressions on their faces, and their bodies were crawling with the same insects that everyone had found in the Howling Abyss before.

The sharp mouthparts mercilessly pierced into the bodies of these gray dwarves, continuously sucking nutrients from them.

A little further away.

Countless insects, dragging their bloated bodies, slowly crawled into a shallow pool filled with brown liquid of unknown composition.

Several dark elves emitting arcane energy were performing a strange ritual together by the pool.

Under the effect of the ritual, the insect swarm's body size gradually returned to normal, accompanied by the appearance of strings of milky white particles discharged from their abdomens and tails.

The particles were soaking in the pool, gradually changing into a familiar shape:

"Gospel!"

An answer that everyone expected.

How is gospel powder made?

Now they have the answer.

"Oh my god! God, Nowen! No wonder the gospel powder is sold so cheaply, it's almost the same as giving it away for free."

“So this is how this thing is produced?!” What appeared before everyone’s eyes was a standard “automatic industry”.

The zombie-like gray dwarves in the Howling Abyss are the first link in the entire industry. They are responsible for finding the insects that can produce the gospel powder and capturing victims to feed the insects.

The unfortunates sent to this cave are the second link of the industry.

Their function is to serve as nutrients.

Feed those bugs.

Finally, the powder excreted from the bodies of the cultivated insects was ritually transformed and processed in the pool and turned into the gospel powder sold by the dark elves.

No cost required.

The biggest cost in producing Gospel Powder is those unlucky Duergar.

They were forced to sacrifice their lives to feed the insects!
"Gudong."

Someone swallowed carefully.

According to this situation, if they want to maintain their disguise, they may end up like those skinny gray dwarves, becoming "food" with bugs crawling all over their bodies.

After confirming the situation at the scene, the believers were afraid to stop performing the table-flipping act.

Because there are more dark elves in this cave than they expected!
In addition to the few dark elves who maintain the ritual to produce the gospel, there are dozens of dark elves in the cave alone!

This is not finished!
What really surprised everyone was a "circle of light" deep in the cave.

The reason why it is described as an aperture is that it looks like an elliptical, dark blue, illusory light gate that is several meters high.

The surface flows like water waves, and vortex-like patterns are formed from time to time.

There are also twisted black and red chains lingering outside the aperture, and the other end of the chain is connected to the ball of light suspended in the center of the cave.

The magical aperture suddenly emitted a strong fluctuation.

Then groups of dark elves came out of the "aperture" talking and laughing.

They are accompanied by thorn-backed flying snakes or other kinds of strange-looking monsters.

The monsters seemed very submissive, following the dark elves and even clinging to them.

After approaching the aperture, several other dark elves took the initiative to step into it, and then their figures disappeared.

"Portal?!"

Lancelot sent a shocked message in the group chat.

"That doesn't look like it. The astral passage opened by the portal should be a brilliant purple color, definitely not a halo! And there is no magic circle around to maintain the operation of the portal!"

"What the hell, what the hell did the dark elves do here?!"

When he was invited to the royal capital of Starosh, he saw the large permanent portal array leading to the City of Stars.

Not only is the magic circle huge in scale, but the amount of magic materials consumed every day is also enormous.

The "door" formed by this circle of light is obviously not the famous 6th-level magic, but something else!
"It seems that the dark elves will pass through this door, tame those monsters, and then bring them back?"

"What on earth is that place? What on earth are they doing?"

"These dark elves, are they innocent? Or are they members of the Church of the Supreme Truth?"

"I found it!!!" Vincent's message was full of excitement.

"Look! Under that ball of light!"

"That!! That dark elf wearing an eagle mask!"

"She has a tattoo of a member of the Supreme Truth on the back of her right hand. I saw it! That swirling pattern!"

Everyone's eyes cautiously glanced towards the location Vincent described.

An astonishing scene came into view.
