Chapter 345: Additional Comments on Decryption Instances
According to common sense, these believers of the evil god should have died long ago, with their blood drained out, their flesh shriveled up, and there not a single piece of healthy skin on their bodies, with fatal wounds everywhere.
They should have died, but under the power of the [Indulgence of Atonement] in their hands, they were still struggling, and the holy light was providing power for these dead bodies.
The twisted souls filled with resentment were wailing. Their souls were like an extremely ugly and twisted aggregate, with no human appearance at all.
At the same time, the wounds on their bodies were healing, and tiny tentacles grew flesh and blood from the wounds, twisting on their bodies.
These five people are like large signal locators, giving someone who wants to enter this world but has no coordinates and no permission, the largest and most dazzling positioning among many faith connections.
Mo Cheng could clearly sense that something was indeed descending into their bodies from somewhere, perhaps from another dimension, perhaps from the starry sky, or perhaps from the void.
This was an absolute torture that could not be expressed in words for the souls of the five evil god's followers. Their souls were twisted, their minds were alienated, and even their perception of themselves was as manipulable as plasticine.
The bodies of the five evil god's followers began to melt, and then gathered together, changing like asphalt into a weird and terrifying appearance that made people want to worship.
Ordinary people would have their souls distorted if they took one look at it. Their eyes and souls would not be able to withstand the sacred glow and would explode directly or go crazy.
That was Elrod, the barbarian god of blood sacrifice. A god whose belief had already disappeared in the long river of history, a god who loved horrific blood sacrifices among the barbarian tribes. After the barbarian tribes that believed in him were wiped out, he floated like a rootless duckweed in the star realm, waiting to decay.
Mo Cheng didn't know who the evil god behind this incident was at first, until he arrived at the warehouse and the black-robed believer mentioned the name of the god to him.
Mo Cheng was not unfamiliar with the name Elrod. He was one of the important characters in the middle period of the first major version of [Foreign Land] and the god of blood sacrifice of the barbarians. His believers were good at using various divine arts that could be regarded as special effects in horror movies. At the same time, as the common belief of the thirty-six barbarian tribes, under the guidance of the god Elrod, they invaded several countries including Huodan, Fangs, Feishazhuan, etc., triggering a great war that swept across seven countries.
Mo Cheng didn't know why the barbarians' god of faith appeared in this place. Most likely, it was a backup plan left by the god before it lost its source of faith and fell asleep.
There is no need to know how Elrod was revived, because it has nothing to do with what Mo Cheng is going to do next.
When he first entered this dungeon, Mo Cheng's only thought was to complete the dungeon and get the guaranteed reward.
After all, Mo Cheng didn't expect to be able to pass this type of supernatural puzzle with a grand slam.
It was not until he learned about the existence of Elrod from the black-robed evil god's followers that he began to change his mind.
The decryption copies in [Foreign Land] have a common special evaluation, that is, you can get extra evaluation by exposing the identity of the mastermind of the incident or killing him through your own behavior.
To use Mo Cheng's understanding, it probably means that if you not only survived the game of Saw but also found Jigsaw, you can get extra evaluation by inviting him to play the game, exchanging positions with him, or sawing him with a chainsaw.
Or in "Death Note", you can find "Kira" among the more than seven billion people in the world and get extra evaluation.
But this approach is extremely difficult. Even among the players that Mo Cheng knows, few are willing to specifically challenge the additional evaluation.
But in this copy, when Mo Cheng learned that the person behind the scenes was Elrod, the god of blood sacrifice, he had an idea.
The god of blood sacrifice, Elrod, loves blood sacrifice. Any killing committed by his believers can be regarded as a blood sacrifice to himself.
So Mo Cheng controlled the Elrod believers in the warehouse, first tortured them to destroy their resistance, and then used the [Indulgence] to force them to kill each other.
When the first Elrod follower took the initiative to kill another follower, the blood sacrifice dedicated to Elrod began.
It lasted for two whole months, with blood and sacrifice as the main course, conspiracy and trickery as the dessert, betrayal and killing as the appetizer, and finally a touch of blood that even the fog could not cover as the drink. This huge blood sacrifice became the ceremony of the descent of the god Elrod.
Elrod had to descend, and he dared not not descend, because both Elrod and Mo Cheng knew very well that by descending, Elrod could save some believers and continue their faith.
If he doesn't come, Mo Cheng will kill all of Elrod's followers, sever their faith, and let Elrod sleep forever in the astral realm and wait for death.
Mo Cheng is not good at deciphering things, but he is very good at giving the other party two choices, one bad and one worse, and forcing the other party to choose one of the two.
The asphalt-like body is gradually forming a huge new body, which will be the body of God when he comes to the world.
But before he could form a complete shape, the [Indulgence of Atonement] in the hands of Elrod's followers suddenly shone brightly, like explosives, blowing off the left hand and right foot that had just formed the human shape.
This was not only a physical loss, but the souls of the five Elrod believers who were sacrificed were also corrected in the holy light and then disappeared, taking with them a large number of souls that were distorted by the sacrifice.
Mo Cheng once said that [Indulgence] would bring them peace, and he did not lie.
Eternal slumber, or the death of the soul, this is the [peace] that Mo Cheng gave them.
Elrod's descending body also became extremely distorted due to the explosion of holy light. It was five meters tall, but it looked more like a body that was simply disassembled and pieced together from five human bodies.
This reminded Mo Cheng of Clark, Wayne, Hal, Harry, and Diana, which had been dismantled by his naughty relative. The naughty relative not only dismantled the figures that he had saved , but also reassembled them.
It forms the style of "I gradually understand everything".
Recalling the unpleasant past, Mo Cheng shook his head and focused his attention on the body of the God Elrod in front of him.
The mastermind behind this dungeon, the strongest enemy.
In the next battle, there is zero room for error.
So Mo Cheng will use his strongest form to face it. The ancient roar suddenly sounded, and Mo Cheng's body began to deform and stretch.
The color of the red dragon-man form became darker, and the dark red dragon scales turned darker. At the same time, in Mo Cheng's brain, the [Atonement] that Ichikiel condensed with all his vitality and holy light was gradually dissipating.
The pure holy light that absolutely did not allow any impurities, as well as the tangible murderous intent, were aimed at Elrod like a sharp sword.
