Chapter 150: Impending Mutation (Part 3)
Sun Yan looked up at the clear, cloudless sky: "We don't need to reload, right? This thing better not fail at the crucial moment. Hope it works."
...
At night, Sun Yan and the group sat around the dining table to eat.
Roken's injuries had healed considerably, allowing him to eat normally.
What Sun Yan hadn't expected was that Sister Jessica turned out to be quite skilled in cooking French cuisine. Under her guidance, Sun Yan and the others finally tasted the rare flavor of home.
No more tech-filled pizzas and burgers.
"Did you say the Morolick Clan summoned a tree covered with sheep eyes? Shit, that's the Sheep's Eye Tree, a symbol of the Black Goat Evil God. Are the Morolick Clan crazy? Not all evil gods are willing to make deals with humans."
Roken placed a baked snail in his mouth and said while savoring it, "To some evil gods, humans are insignificant ants. Don't mention making deals; even if you want to converse with them, it's seen as provocation worthy of destruction. The Morolick Clan is simply courting death."
"What's the background of the Black Goat Evil God?" Sosia asked curiously while sipping cream mushroom soup.
Roken replied with a serious expression: "In this world, gods can be divided into three types. The first type originally exists, the second is created by humans, and the third is imagined by humans.
It's like God's angels in heaven. Throughout human history, there has been no real record of heaven. Everyone says that good people can enter heaven after dying, but who said that? The church. Why does the church know this?
Do you believe angels or God told them what happens after death, or did those initial believers not understand anything and invented the story of heaven's existence to attract more people to join the church?
The power of human faith is extremely strong, far beyond what you can imagine. When the faith becomes massive enough, even nonexistent things can become real and descend. The Black Goat Evil God is such a thing. It has no rationality, but it truly exists as an evil god.
The Black Goat is the third type of god. It's better described as a creature that shouldn't appear in this world at all. It was birthed by humanity's negative energy. Though it might possess great power, it certainly doesn't grant boons to humans. Summoning something like this into reality would only lead to destruction."
Roken picked up a knife and fork to eat foie gras with seared scallops and casually asked, "What happened later? Did the Exorcist Association get rid of the Sheep's Eye Tree?"
Sun Yan shook his head: "I don't know, we had already left then and weren't aware of the final outcome."
Sister Jessica put down the strawberry crepe in her hand: "The Exorcist Association isn't weak; if they've been secretly observing the Morolick Clan's actions, this matter should be under control."
Roken, who was part of the Exorcist Association, shook his head humorously: "No, the Exorcist Association isn't as powerful as you think. Most Exorcists in North America rely on those exorcism firearms developed by church arms factories. Without external tools, many exorcists are no different than ordinary people.
If an Evil God isn't afraid of exorcism firearms, then there will be big trouble. Let's hope that kind of accident doesn't happen, hehe."
Just as Roken finished speaking, terrified screams suddenly came from outside the graveyard gates.
"Anyone there? Help! Save me!"
