Chapter 164 Black Sun Cult
"Hmm? It seems there is someone."
Xiao Yang glanced in the direction of Toby and the archer.
"Oh no, we've been discovered."
The black man Toby was startled, and the two of them quickly hid in the garbage bag to avoid being discovered by the other party.
"Looks sneaky, it should be a wandering scavenger. Forget it, my superpowers are exhausted, I'd better escape early."
Of course, more than a dozen fourth-level mutant creatures are not so easy to deal with. Even with the help of the ghost gold vine and Smaug, Xiao Yang has exhausted all his energy.
However, Xiao Yang also found that his superpowers are far more abundant than other evolvers, so he came to a conclusion.
The total amount of superpowers of an evolver is proportional to the number of its superpowers and the level of the evolver.
"No wonder so many people want to awaken more superpowers, it turns out there are such benefits. But if the total amount increases, it should also require more energy to increase the evolution level."
In short, there are gains and losses.
Xiao Yang wiped his sweat and felt that the wanderers should not pose much threat to Gadi's protective shield, so he collected the corpses on the ground and rode Smaug away.
The two watched the dragon go away, and then they got out of the garbage.
"Toby, that guy is so scary. He took care of all these fourth-level creatures. I feel that even if we go together, we can't do anything to him."
The archer swallowed his saliva, then looked at Toby, and saw his regretful expression.
"Damn it! We were fooled. He obviously found us, but he ran away. This kid must have used up his superpowers!"
Toby didn't hesitate to speculate others with the greatest malice.
"More than a dozen mutant creature spirit cores, and such a large space treasure... just flew away like that."
Hearing this, the archer also reacted and regretted it.
"Gai Taiya, I wonder which faction the other party belongs to?"
"I guess the other party was attracted by the prophecy of the Black Sun Cult. Recently, there are many more evolvers who come to the Great Wasteland to pick up garbage."
"Do you also believe in the Black Sun Cult? Oh, by the way. Your skin color may be very popular in the Black Sun Church. I heard that the clergy of the Black Sun Cult have a special secret method to strengthen the power of the soul."
"Humph, how can such a good thing happen in this world?"
"But their so-called miracles are sometimes quite accurate, aren't they?"
"...Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to live longer, you'd better stay away from those charlatans."
Toby's expression was very serious. I don't know what he has experienced. He is very wary of the Black Sun Cult.
The archer didn't continue the topic. He looked at the monster corpse in the distance and shrugged.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Wait... I have a feeling that such a large corpse will definitely attract many mutant creatures."
Just as they were planning to wait and see, a cute squirrel was leading a group of terrifying mutant creatures towards the Monster Basin in the depths of the Great Wasteland.
...
In the north, in the center of a city that was four or five times larger than the city of Kra, a tall rusty statue stood in the center of the city, dozens of meters high.
She was wearing a long robe and a radiant crown on her head. She held a book in one hand and raised a strange long-handled tray in the other hand. A black spherical object was placed on the tray.
At the base under her feet, lifelike naked human bodies raised their hands to surround the goddess, their faces full of fear and pain.
Around these stone statues, countless scavengers knelt down, looking up at the black ball on the goddess statue, their faces full of madness, and they kept praying:
"The black sun has descended from the sky, and the path to God has been opened."
"All living beings are sinners, and there is no purity in this turbid world."
"Numbers of holy remains, please forgive my dry bones."
"Go to the world of God, and chant my Allah."
"..."
The more the believers chanted, the more excited they became, as if they had taken stimulants.
In front of these believers, a black man in a black robe held a black-covered scripture, his expression was both sacred and indifferent, and no emotion could be seen on his face.
He glanced at the kneeling scavengers, then at the black ball held high, and said indifferently to a middle-aged man with silver hair next to him.
"Lord Kas, I can feel that the Lord is very satisfied with your statue design."
Hearing the affirmation of the black-robed man, the middle-aged man with silver hair was very excited.
"Haha, to be honest with you, Bishop Bulma, we suddenly found this statue in the wilderness on the day you arrived in Bei'an City. I think your compassion for the world must have moved the Lord."
After hearing the other party's superb flattery, even Bishop Bulma's stiff old face couldn't help but relax a little.
"So that's how it is. It seems that the Lord has already arranged everything. I will pray to the Lord for your pious behavior. May your soul return to the Kingdom of God."
If Xiao Yang were here, he would definitely complain.
Because this tall goddess statue is exactly the same as the Statue of Liberty in the Bald Eagle Country on Earth, except that the flame on the torch has been knocked off and replaced with a big black ball.
Like an open black hole.
And those lifelike human stone statues are even more outrageous. They are actually flesh and earth from the world of spirit cages, and they are not disgusting.
It's a genius idea to mix things from two worlds together and still look like the same. I have to say.
"Look, in order to move this statue here and show the glory of the Lord, it took the entire Bei'an City to evolve for more than ten days and nights, without stopping..."
The silver-haired middle-aged man reminded the black-robed bishop next to him without a sound.
The corners of Bulma's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help cursing greed in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm and whispered to Cass.
"Of course, the Lord will give you some favors for your contribution."
After saying that, Bulma took out a small piece of black meat from the bottomless black robe, which was still bloody and looked very disgusting.
However, the city lord Cass was very excited when he saw this piece of meat that was less than the size of a palm. He grabbed it and swallowed it directly.
He allowed these guys from the Black Sun Cult to preach in his territory, not just for these precious pieces of meat, which can increase the power of the soul.
Bulma looked at Cass's eagerness, and a hint of a hidden sneer flashed across his lips.
"Don't worry, Lord City Lord. Just concentrate on doing things for the Lord and pray to the Lord's true name every day. The Lord will give you more rewards in the future."
"Hehe, Bishop Bulma needs to say a few more good words in front of Lord Pope."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first."
"Bishop Bulma is leaving now? Not for a few more days."
"Lord Pope got the Lord's prophecy: Holy light shines on the moon, and broken stars fall. There is a gift from the Lord in the wilderness. Lord Pope ordered me to go and welcome the Lord's miracle. As for Bei'an City, only a few clergy need to stay here to preach."
The black man Bulma looked solemn, and after he finished speaking, he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared in front of Cass.
"Holy light shines on the moon, and broken stars fall?"
City Lord Cass kept repeating these prophecies circulated from the Black Sun Cult, and kept thinking about them.
"It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Although the Black Sun Cult is mysterious, its prophecies have been proven time and again. We can send someone to look for it."
