Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 701 He polluted the pollution
Although her condition had improved, Beatrice's body was too fragile, and she could only lie half-reclined in the furnace, panting and slowly recovering.

She couldn't do anything else, so she simply started thinking.

"Thinking about it this way, it's definitely not right. I was so shocked by the Heavenly Beast that my mind was unsettled, and the Anchor started to drift, causing the nearby Sea of ​​Ignorance to surge as well. But everything suddenly stopped without any warning."

"Why is this happening? It's almost as if some entity has stabilized my condition."

"Thinking back on it, my recent improvement also started after I heard those strange whispers."

Beatrice trembled.

She knew what the eerie whispers meant in the supernatural world.

All extraordinary beings know that only an evil god can whisper and influence their surroundings.

Evil gods, bizarre and twisted, have an impact on the world simply by existing, and any church would destroy them immediately.

But this does not mean it cannot be used.

Some evil gods can be exploited, such as the most classic Mother Goddess of Life. Anyone can gain extraordinary power by believing in and offering sacrifices to her, although the power obtained is very meager.

For example, the Candlelight Society's archenemy, the Moths of Fire, raised an evil god called the "Lord of the Moths," which could help them remove the pollution from their bodies. When driven to the brink, they could also sacrifice everything to force the Moths to descend and perish together with their enemies.

Now, can she borrow the power of that unknown evil god?
Beatrice swallowed hard.

This is an extremely dangerous approach, and she doesn't intend to take the risk, but... it's worth considering.

After all, it's always good to be prepared. Who knows, you might be forced into a desperate situation in the future and have to use this power?

Yes, she is a very cautious superhuman and would never use it recklessly.

Beatrice felt a surge of excitement. Evil gods weren't necessarily dangerous, but they were certainly powerful, and the arrival of any evil god would be a disaster.

If such power were to be used by her...
No, I can't let my mind wander anymore. I should study this evil god first!

Beatrice began her analysis.

To use the power of an evil god, one must first know what power the evil god possesses. From Beatrice's current understanding, He can help people stabilize their state.

This state is quite broad, encompassing not only the state of being in a sea of ​​ignorance, but also the state of the body and even the mind.

Of course, we'll need to try again to find out the specifics, but this alone is very valuable.

It should be noted that beings that can directly influence the Sea of ​​Consciousness are extremely rare. While the walls of reality are not insurmountable, breaking through someone else's wall is not nearly as difficult as breaking through one's own.

It's like flipping your own car; all you need to do is swerve randomly. But if you want someone else to flip their car, it would take the force of an earthquake.

"Therefore, this is an extremely powerful evil god, from whom one can obtain the power to stabilize one's state!"

Beatrice thought about it carefully, then slowly shook her head.

"No, it's not necessarily a stable state; that's just an appearance. It could also be treatment or mental restructuring. It's all uncertain."

"Okay, now that we know His power, how do we use it? Or rather, how do we connect with Him?"

Beatrice thought carefully about what she had done. She must have unintentionally fulfilled some requirements and done some things that led to the arrival of this power.

But what did she do?
Spraying pollutants indiscriminately? Sleeping in a steam engine?
No, it shouldn't be related to these things; it must be an action closer to its essence.
Beatrice pondered for a long time before finally slowly raising her head.

"It seems... I had no choice but to listen to His whispers." "I was in a terrible state at the time, and I subconsciously listened to His whispers without any defenses. I even started thinking along the lines of what He was saying, which was extremely dangerous."

“But not only was I not eroded, the pollution in my body was also suppressed and even reduced.”

"Can His whispers suppress corruption?"

Beatrice shook her head, recalling that state of mind, and a more terrifying thought arose in her heart.

"The pollution wasn't suppressed, but rather neutralized, and its nature was even altered!"

"He seems to be able to erode pollution."

【Erosion】Generally refers to being polluted, and the ability to erode pollution is the ability to pollute pollution.

Pollution is something that is crazy, disordered, and distorted to the extreme. What kind of existence can pollute such a thing?

How powerful and twisted would that have to be?
Beatrice shivered.

"No, no, it's too dangerous. We absolutely cannot use the power of this evil god again."

By using the power of this evil god, one might be controlled by Him, become a part of Him, and be forced to be enslaved by Him.

She finally gained her freedom, why put her back in shackles?
She would rather die.

Having figured this out, Beatrice's gaze hardened.

"I must never again borrow the power of this strange being. Even if I die, I want to die freely!"

While Beatrice was exploring the extraordinary, Gaia and Zoe looked worried.

"What can we do? If she doesn't go to Castel now, she'll surely die; if she goes to Castel, she'll go crazy on the spot."

Gaia sighed, "This is a dead end!"

"Could we get the doctor out here and treat him from the airship?"

"If doctors can be brought out, how can hospitals be invited? To be honest, I think those people's medical skills are just average. The one who is truly useful is Castel himself."

"You mean"

"Do you remember that the bomb was more powerful when it exploded in Castel? Later, tests were conducted at the testing grounds, and it wasn't an illusion. In terms of yield, the explosive power of Castel was a full 13% higher than that of Blood Harbor, and superhumans generally believed that it was less likely to get out of control on the island!"

"Less likely to get out of control? More likely to get out of control, right? Galahad went crazy and charged at the train; his statue is still on the platform."

"No, it just means it's less likely to get out of control. It's true that having Castells syndrome can lead to cognitive deviation and the risk of going insane, but as long as you get through it, you'll actually be more stable on the island and less affected by the Sea of ​​Ignorance."

Zoe's eyes widened: "You mean, in Castel reality, which is more stable, the influence of the supernatural will be weakened?"

"We initially thought this trend was due to cognitive interference, but it hasn't led to pollution. Do you know what cognitive interference is?"

"Of course I know that individual will influences the world and causes instability."

Gaia gazed deeply at Castel and said softly, "What if the will of the collective influences the world, and it continues to exist stably?"
