Chapter 149: Meeting the Cleric Again (Please Subscribe)

"This person... really can't take a joke at all!"

To Aaron's ears, it seemed he could hear the sound of a multitude of insects crawling, mixed with the sounds of gnawing and flapping wings.

Opposite him, beneath Nicholas's robes, one bulge after another appeared, as if he were about to begin mutating into a disgusting monster.

"Cough, cough... don't get excited, but I have a way to treat you!"

He hurriedly added, watching Nicholas's body sway, his hands bracing against the back of the sofa, as if he would collapse to the ground in the next second.

"What... way..." From beneath the mask came Nicholas's weak voice.

After all, even the "Sunset School" could not directly cause the consciousness of a Gods Beyond the World to descend!

"Huh? I thought that with the piety he displayed before, he would hold onto his faith for a bit longer?"

"Hmm?"

Therefore, while speaking, he stood up, took out a bottle of specially prepared salt, sprinkled a circle around the room, and created a simple Spirit Wall to isolate the inside from the outside.

"Which... Gods Beyond the World?"

"At the same time, He is also the symbol of reason and free will, representing Jiusu... Pray piously to Him, chant His honorable name, and ask Him to save you!"

"This is opening another alt account, avoiding the awkwardness of the entire Cult originally having only the God's Messenger..."

That often requires large-scale Rituals, precious Offerings, and a lot of luck and coincidence!

Yesterday, his teacher had sighed that if he could directly attract the attention of a Great Existence, perhaps he could still be saved.

Even within his spirit, there were transparent and illusory little insects being "purged" from his body...

Nicholas struggled to get up, sat on the sofa, took a bottle of potion from his bosom and poured it into his mouth, his voice becoming a bit more stable: "Praise my Lord... I felt His magnificence and greatness; this is also the blessing of the Holy Spirit!"

Then, for "Sting Sword" to recruit Nicholas into the Cult is a very normal development!

"Should be on the same level as the 'Evil Spirit Curse Bullet', the effect... blind guess, besides powerful mental pollution, it also causes a large number of parasites to grow inside the enemy's body?"

It is a pity that in such a rush, even the high-level members of the Sunset School could not do it.

In an instant, Nicholas felt that he had established a connection with a certain Gods Beyond the World, and the other party had already cast a glance over!

"This..."

And amidst Nicholas's screams, he seemed to be able to see, within his own flesh and blood, black beetles being burned to ashes one by one, and scarlet leeches being burned away.

In Nicholas's brain, it felt as if a red-hot iron skewer had been inserted and was still stirring fiercely; he could only endure the pain and spit out words through his teeth.

Exposing that "Sting Sword" is a believer of the Spirit of Falsehood would not blow the cover of the God's Messenger.

Nicholas paused, and answered with a magnetic voice: "Among ancient religions, there was an Ethereal Sect... I believe it might be the predecessor of the Holy Spirit Church, because what the believers worshipped were existences that could not be proven to exist, no... the Lord has actually always existed, just disdaining to respond to Prayers and Rituals!"

"Very good, the will to survive is very strong, otherwise I would have to clean house."

"This Nicholas, he changed his faith really fast... but he knows to seek the Extraordinary of 'Yao' to help him reform the Holy Spirit Church, he is not too pedantic..."

Aaron nodded, not letting the Spirit of Falsehood send down divine punishment, and signaled for Nicholas to continue.

Endless Light turned into raging flames, beginning to burn from within Nicholas's body, causing him to let out screams.

After a round of Purification, Nicholas was already lying on the ground, his whole person looking as if he had been fished out of water, sweat soaking through his clothes.

"Thank you, my Lord..."

As an Extraordinary, recovering is naturally a bit stronger than an ordinary person.

Just by chanting the honorable name, a Gods Beyond the World descended with attention!

"Ah!"

Even if Nicholas met Liliyat in the future and learned of this, Liliyat would only think it was her own recommendation that made the God's Messenger examine "Sting Sword" and let the other party join the organization.

Aaron scanned the surroundings, feeling that in Nicholas's state, he could no longer go out to find another place to perform a Ritual.

Aaron complained in his heart, thinking of the Holy Spirit Church's tradition of turning the Green Banyan Tree Ancestor into a Green Angel, and was speechless for a moment: "Then... do you think the Spirit of Falsehood is also an aspect of the Holy Spirit?"

These were the pollutions he purged from Nicholas's body; he felt they could also be used to make bullets with decent power.

Aaron complained in his heart, looked at Nicholas who was gradually recovering, and asked with a smile: "How is the recovery?"

Aaron complained in his heart, and chanted in a charlatan-like tone: "The great Spirit of Falsehood... He is the Gods Beyond the World wandering in the unknown, the Absolutely Neutral Existence, the Silent Observer!"

Because he was already on the verge of losing control, and even his teacher and the Sunset School behind him had long ago sentenced him to death!

Therefore, he actually had no other choice at all!

His soul trembled, having already lost the ability to think.

"Chant the honorable name of a Great Existence and ask Him to bestow a gift!"

If not for Aaron having set up a spiritual blockade beforehand, it would likely have attracted outside attention long ago.

He prayed piously, his face covered in a mess of tears and snot.

Regarding his own questions, Aaron was not too worried.

He added silently in his heart.

"This method of spiritual victory, no one else can match it!"

In fact, if one views the Holy Spirit as the original Creator, then this explanation is quite reasonable.

Aaron adjusted his sitting posture with some surprise: "What are you saying?"

Boom!

While Nicholas was praying, Aaron was picking up the insect egg-like things one by one with great interest, placing them in a specially made small box.

While Nicholas was praying, Aaron responded to his own previous prayer, his Spirit Body left his body, and then he responded to Nicholas's request.

"Spirit of Falsehood?!" Nicholas bit his lip and barely began to chant: "The Gods Beyond the World wandering in the unknown..."

At this time, Nicholas had long since removed his mask and said frankly: "I am Nicholas Inamu... a Cleric of the Green Forest Cathedral! I believe the Holy Spirit still exists; He is the embodiment of all things, and all gods in the world are just one of His countless aspects. Therefore, I previously sought the Extraordinary of 'Yao' and joined other Cults, and I do not feel it is blasphemous... because the existences they worship are just an embodiment of my Lord, a mask!"

"I now believe in the Spirit of Falsehood because I have truly felt His greatness..." Nicholas was silent for a moment before answering with a solemn tone: "But I will not abandon the faith of the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit might be an aspect, an embodiment of the Spirit of Falsehood!"

But what about now?

"This prayer direction is slightly off, but it doesn't matter much... after all, I'm waiting right here..."

Aaron was somewhat stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, the Ethereal Sect and the Holy Spirit Church were actually quite similar; after all, they both worshipped existences that could not respond.

"Perhaps... the establishment of the Holy Spirit Church really did find inspiration from the Ethereal Sect. After all, a God Beyond the World who does not respond naturally would not cause disasters like large-scale blood sacrifices... nor could it descend a Divine Oracle to vie for secular power, making it very suitable for rulers..."
