Bizarre Realm-Chapter 287 - 54: Spreading the Gospel! (Part 2)

Upon hearing the other’s words, Yvonne Tanner immediately became spirited. He spoke with a rising and falling tone: "This calls for praising the great Divine Terra! Mother of All Things! Spirit of All Creation!..."

"And the honorable Bishop."

"He let me awaken from madness, bathing in the light of the world."

Divine Terra?

Is this guy really not still crazy? What kind of nonsense dares to take the name of Divine Terra?

Kregan couldn’t help but ask: "The great mother you serve? Which one is she? I’ve never heard of this Divine Spirit’s revered name before!"

He had encountered those mad cultists, and even advanced Evil Mages, but none dared use such a revered name.

Yvonne Tanner smiled and said: "I serve the earth beneath our feet."

"I serve the sky above our heads."

"The Great Mother is omnipresent!... She is the air you breathe!... the food you eat!... the nature that nurtures and raises you!..."

What kind of terrifying Evil God is this?

Upon hearing the other’s words, Kregan again wanted to flee because he suspected the other was still crazy, just looking somewhat normal.

But the final words of this strange priest made him stop in shock.

"She is the planet on which we live!..."

Planet?

Kregan looked at the other as if seeing a lunatic, incredulously saying: "After all this, is the Divine Terra you speak of really just Divine Terra?"

The natives always referred to this planet as Divine Terra, while Blue Star was named by the Foreigners.

Yvonne Tanner nodded calmly: "Yes."

"The Great Mother is Divine Terra."

"The planet that bred us!"

Heavens!

This guy is definitely still crazy.

Throughout Kregan’s years of adventuring, he had seen all sorts of cultists, but he had never encountered anyone worshipping the entire planet as a deity.

Yet, at this moment, Yvonne Tanner’s expression was quite serious. He gazed at Kregan before him and slowly said: "Friend."

"I can sense that your heart is different from others."

"You love this world."

As he said this, he glanced at the Blood Feast Tavern beside them, from which the seductive and enchanting moans from the third floor faintly wafted. He solemnly said: "You also love life greatly."

"So then."

"Are you willing to fight for this world? Willing to fight to defend Divine Terra?"

No.

I just came out to hire a prostitute, to relax, how does that mean I love the world?

Kregan found it a little hard to understand the other’s train of thought, yet he couldn’t help suppressing his curiosity and asked: "What does the Divine Spirit and the Church you serve require?"

"Furthermore, can you really redeem those who are out of control?"

That last question was the most critical.

He was already on the threshold of High Tier advancement; the long-term pollution had shown him some signs of losing control, of course far less severe than the other’s case, just having some temporary symptoms of madness after dealing with the Ancient Race.

"Of course." Yvonne Tanner earnestly said: "The glory of Divine Terra will guide every child who has lost themselves!"

"The Bishop will save those poor souls on the brink of losing control."

Kregan couldn’t help but consider how much truth there was to the other’s words. He felt as though he really had gone mad, actually somewhat believing this seemingly lunatic and weird priest.

His instincts and spirituality did not warn him at this moment.

Kregan was a transcending Assassin, his intuition and sensing were maxed out, even with a slight sixth sense; otherwise, he couldn’t have escaped the Ancient Race. But now, his intuition and spirituality seemed to believe the other, yet he himself was still constantly hesitating.

"Then what are your teachings?" Kregan asked curiously.

Yvonne Tanner spoke in a tone full of praise: "Love this world, love this planet, fight to protect Divine Terra!"

"Friend."

"Our teachings are very relaxed, strictly speaking, the Church is still a loose mutual aid organization, only needing to notify the Bishop when a loss of control and pollution occur."

"Join us, and you won’t be constrained."

"On the contrary, you’ll receive help from other Church believers, and even when you’re about to lose control, the Bishop will personally help you correct yourself."

This sounded more like a mad cult.

Kregan wanted to leave, but for some reason, his spirituality and curiosity seemed as if they were resisting yet yearning at the same time, eager to learn more secrets.

He hesitated and said: "Then, to join you, is there any ceremony required?"

One question would reveal whether they were true cultists. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Because cultists all had corrupted and polluted mad rituals, some even requiring offerings to worship Ancient Evils; the Dark Blood Sacrifice was a core element.

"Currently, there is none."

Yvonne Tanner shook his head and said: "But we have an ascension ceremony. If you can sense the immense consciousness of Divine Terra, deeply feel the world’s pain, then you can become a priest of the Church like me."

"And serve directly under the Bishop."

The Bishop?

Feeling the world’s pain? It sounds like a very sinister ceremony.

Yvonne Tanner’s gaze was fervent: "Friend? Do you want to try it?"

"This ceremony is very simple."

"You just need to touch this badge with your hand, if you are chosen by Divine Terra, then you can feel the world’s pain and the Great Mother’s love for you!..."

Love?

This word seemed to sting Kregan before him, because the Transcendent had no love, Abyss City had no love; they were the most depraved and evil group of people.
