Chapter 748: Don't Do It, You Guys Leave Quickly

Tong Mao held a bottle of beetroot wine tightly, muttering beside Anthony, just like a little follower reporting to the president.

"You really won't hurt everyone? These are all my juniors, I watched them grow up, you must not hurt them." Tong Mao confirmed this repeatedly.

Although Amelia also confirmed that they were indeed here to help, Tong Mao was not very reassured about the reputation of the Church of Light.

"Of course not, we are just here to help. We'll leave after dropping off the things. On the contrary, you, are you really sure the third exit leads to the center of the Chaos Plane? Is it near this coordinate point? Are you sure? If not, I'll take your wine back and pour it out in front of you."

Tong Mao's face turned black, but soon he said: "Capturing them is also not okay, it's not impossible, but you have to add more wine."

"Why is hurting them not okay, but capturing them is? Your standards fluctuate quite a bit," Anthony asked curiously.

Tong Mao sighed: "They are no different from prisoners now. Maybe if they are captured by you, they can live a good life."

"What do you mean?" Naigelis was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

Tong Mao sighed: "You'll know when you see it."

Soon, everyone knew what Tong Mao meant. They saw that every Void person who came to greet them had a 'little elf' with big ears squatting on their shoulder.

That was a very cute creature only the size of a palm, but when Ang and Anthony saw them, they immediately frowned. Anthony even whispered: "Faith Parasitism?"

Tong Mao sighed and said: "You know now, right? I told them, but they didn't believe me. They said those were pets, assistants, and companions bestowed upon them by the Hole Worm, partners that help them survive in the void. Without these Void Beasts, they wouldn't be able to earn the name of the Void race."

"But why doesn't Amelia have one?" he asked, puzzled.

"Of course, I persuaded her, but I persuaded many people, and not everyone listened. Besides, Amelia's spatial magic power is very strong, and she can live very well without a Void Beast."

"But these are faith parasites. Once parasitized, they will never be able to leave these spirits of faith for the rest of their lives. They will be continuously drained of faith, their appearance will wither, and their lifespan will be shortened. How foolish," Naigelis said.

"Yes, but without these spirits of faith, their lifespan wouldn't be long either. The Chaos Plane is too dangerous, and ordinary people have no ability to survive here at all." Tong Mao said helplessly.

As the God of Thunder, Tong Mao possessed a godhead, so he knew very well what these spirits of faith were. They were tools for gods to control believers, parasites that fed on the power of belief.

Believers parasitized by spirits of faith have their thoughts and souls out of their own control. They can be very pious and fanatical at every moment, just like having taken a bloodlust potion.

This will bring a certain increase in strength, but correspondingly, it will continuously burn life force, forming a chronic life sacrifice, equivalent to a slow-release version of fanatics like Ouke.

Long-term use will lead to lack of energy, back pain, dizziness, mental lethargy, ED, PE, and so on.

However, all the flaws cannot be considered flaws in the harsh environment of the Chaos Plane, because without the parasitism of spirits of faith, ordinary people can hardly survive in this environment.

A single exposure to the void can kill a person, not to mention the ubiquitous lack of oxygen, low temperature, and chaotic space.

Even before the parasitism of the spirits of faith, they would clearly explain the dangers to the host through a ritual, clearly telling everyone that after forcing them to become partners, their lifespan would be reduced to fifty years.

After hearing this, everyone immediately thought: Oh my god, there's such a good thing? Lifespan extended, family members.

Because without the parasitism of spirits of faith, the average lifespan of the Void people would not exceed thirty-five years.

"If it were you, how would you choose?" Tong Mao said helplessly.

Anthony pondered: "If there are spirits of faith, then there must be gods. What is the god's name?"

"A guy called the Hole God, who claims to be the incarnation of the Hole Worm," Lei Mao said.

Tong Mao answered so quickly that Anthony immediately realized something: "Have you fought him? Who won?"

Tong Mao said awkwardly: "I won in a one-on-one."

"Are there many of them?" Anthony frowned: "How many people are there?"

"The entire Void race are his people. If they all come together, I can only run," Tong Mao said helplessly.

Anthony said helplessly: "What a nuisance. Forget it, we don't have time. Never mind, give it back to me."

Snatching the wine bottle back from Tong Mao, Anthony suggested to Ang: "Lord, let's drop the light spots and leave. We won't pass through here; we'll take a detour."

Amelia once said that the spatial passage they were in led directly to the edge of chaos. Because of the tides, the former edge was now deep in the chaos mist, and it was not far from the coordinate position left to them by the Sovereign.

They originally wanted to save some effort and go to the Sovereign's position through the spatial passage, because if they didn't, given the current situation in the Chaos Plane, who knows what they would run into on the way.

It's just that they didn't expect the situation inside the spatial passage to be more complicated. Those Void people were actually parasitized by spirits of faith, which was the situation Anthony hated the most.

Because these parasitized people have no autonomy, all their actions are controlled by the gods behind the scenes, and they cannot be bluffed by Anthony's words at all.

A charlatan who cannot bluff the enemy has his most powerful ability effectively abolished. Can he not hate it? Let's just drop the things and leave.

Just as Tong Mao said, although it is a parasitic relationship, without the parasitism of spirits of faith, these humans cannot survive in the void.

It's just a shorter life. Although they cannot compare with the average lifespan of humans under Ang's rule, in fact, humans not under Ang's rule don't have such a long lifespan either.

The average lifespan of the former Eastern Diocese was only 47.6 years, the Western Diocese was just 43, and the Land of Sinking was even worse, with an average lifespan of only 39.

In other words, in the harsh environment of the Chaos Plane, the parasitism of spirits of faith can actually make the lifespan of ordinary humans exceed that of humans under the Church of Light within the plane.

An average lifespan of fifty years is very short for dwarves, but for someone like Anthony who has seen enough suffering, it is already considered very good. So Lei Mao said it very miserably, but Anthony didn't intend to do anything. He just wanted to release the light spots and leave.

"No, no, no." Tong Mao wanted to pounce and hug Anthony's thigh: "Let's talk this over. Leave the wine first. I won't trouble you. As long as you agree to take them in, I'll handle that evil god. How about that?"

"What qualifications do you have to define others? That is the power of the God of Arbitration," Anthony bluffed, but the wine bottle was handed back, otherwise Lei Mao would really hug his thigh.

Tong Mao glared and puffed his beard. Was this to deprive him of his power of judgment? He was the God of Thunder, the god of dwarves, what did it have to do with your arbitration?

Anthony made a gesture to take the wine bottle back.

Tong Mao hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, okay, the power of the God of Arbitration. Please ask the God of Arbitration to come and judge his sins, and then I'll go and hammer him. How about that?"

"I'm worried that after hammering him, these Void people will have nowhere to go. Since your Church of Light has established a stronghold here, you should have a place to accommodate them. Under your rule, they should live happier than being parasitized, right?"

Anthony thought to himself: That's not necessarily true. But he said: "The God of Arbitration has committed a crime and has already been judged by the Light. Now the God of Balance is the only Lord under the Light. We are in a hurry and don't intend to judge anyone. If you want to return to the main plane to see your clansmen, I can take you back. Now the Dwarf King is a young man named Tong Chui."

"You really don't care? Faith parasitism! Doesn't the Church of Light define this form as evil? Don't you launch a holy war? Do you believe in the Light?" Tong Mao asked in surprise.

【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, a source-changing app comparable to the old version used by all bug-chasers, huanyuanapp.】

"There are always corners that the Light cannot shine upon. May you always have wine to drink. Goodbye." After Anthony finished speaking, he floated towards Amelia. The posture meant that if Tong Mao pestered him again, he wouldn't take him back.

Amelia was describing the situation to the clansmen who came to meet her, but she didn't know what was said, and the two sides had a dispute. After Anthony floated over, one of Amelia's clansmen pointed at Anthony and shouted sternly: "Sound the alarm, catch them!"

Amelia suddenly supported her hands and propped up a dimensional shield to block her companions, while looking back and shouting: "Don't do it, you guys leave quickly, they don't believe my words, they want to catch you..."

Before she finished speaking, one of her companions had already thrown out a spirit of faith, bypassed Amelia's dimensional shield, transformed into a strong Martial God, and slashed a burst of energy at Amelia.

PS: I'm doing Qingming these two days, so updates are irregular. The workload of Qingming in the south is too heavy, and I'm exhausted after finishing it, especially for a shut-in like me. ===== CHAPTER 749 =====
