Start Cthulhu with priest

Light!

Light as vast and vast as the ocean.

The endless sea of ​​light filled An Le's body, mind, and even soul.

Bright, brilliant, warm, soft...

It seems that any kind of positive and positive words can be used to praise the beauty of this boundless sea of ​​light.

It's just An Le who is in it, but she doesn't think so.

An extremely cold sense of crisis was being born from the deepest part of his soul, like a loud and piercing alarm, warning him to get rid of this situation quickly and regain his sobriety and reason.

"No, is it really necessary to do that?"

A voice echoed in Anle's ears.

It is as ethereal and illusory as a cloud of smoke, but it is real.

"Isn't it a beautiful, happy, and honored thing to be a part of the light and blend into this sea of ​​light?"

"Countless children and men who have not grown up in their hearts want to become light."

"Even if it's you, don't you ever have such childish and naive thoughts in your heart?"

An Le listened carefully, the voice was not unfamiliar, but very familiar.

He thought to himself: 'Perhaps, he is myself? '

With just this momentary thought, An Le realized that Guang Hai's erosion of him went further.

Moreover, this kind of erosion is not at the same level as the simple and crude "swallowing" of the different stone worms.

If you have to say it, it has the same effect as the "baptism" of the Holy Blood.

Endless rays of light washed An Le's mind like a wave.

Every ray of light contains an unbearable amount of information that the human brain can't bear, pouring into An Le's eyes, no, not only the sight, but also every inch of skin and all senses of the body have been baptized with knowledge.

At this moment, An Le seemed to be standing naked in the storm, "knowing" that this matter itself carried a weight that life could not bear.

Under this washing, the existence named "Anle" gradually became thinner, including his body and thinking, which were being replaced by another existence, as if returning to a state as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Even, his connection with that church is being cut off bit by bit, and the distance is getting farther and farther away.

At this time, the whisper in his ear became more and more clear.

"You don't need to do anything, you don't need to think about anything, you can reach the ultimate form of all things and wander in this dreamland."

"Why...reject?"

An Le clenched her teeth, and squeezed out a single word——

"roll!"

In his tenacious willpower, that voice was shattered and vanished into thin air.

An Le tried her best to sink her consciousness into the deep sea, reaching a state like an effervescent tablet dissolved in the water.

Only this time, the process became extremely difficult and sluggish. It seemed that an old machine that hadn’t been used for a long time started working without any lubricating oil. Harsh and unpleasant noise.

It also brought unprecedented pain, as if thousands of tentacles pierced his brain, and then stirred up heartily regardless of the brain's feelings.

However, thanks to the pain, An Le finally regained his temporary sobriety.

next second.

He opened his eyes in church.

"Father An, welcome..."

Before Sai Lei finished her usual opening remarks, the expression on her pretty face suddenly changed.

Because she saw, under An Le's black robe, a bright and bright brilliance was seeping out, illuminating the dark and deep church.

Like some kind of highly polluting germs, it spread in the church in just a moment, trying to dye the towering walls and weird murals... all in its color.

However.

Compared with reality, the light that just came to the church is several times weaker.

It was repelled, squeezed by the whole church.

The light that was originally omnipotent and seemed to be able to infect anything became dim and weak, and could only expand to a distance of two or three meters around Anle.

"call--"

An Le took a deep breath.

The bright brilliance in the eyes gradually faded away, and those dark spots disappeared together.

He looked down at the light overflowing from his body, and sneered.

"This is my home field!"

"Since you're here...then don't leave."

An Le can naturally feel that the great strange object, a considerable part of the consciousness hidden in the light, came to the church together with his soul.

It may not be accurate to say that it is "consciousness", it is more like the... instinct of light? subconscious?

or something else.

Anyway, their existence made An Le feel very unhappy, to the point of disgust.

Existence that wants to replace happiness and wash it away, that is, these things.

Following An Le's thought, countless tentacles hung down from the towering dome of the church.

They rub Anle's cheeks affectionately, like cute and docile pets, expressing their closeness to their owners.

And under An Le's order, they all got into his body, greedily absorbing the streamers hidden in the skin, flesh and bone marrow.

Countless tentacles wrap Anle.

They entangle, spread, and stretch their slender and slippery bodies. The large and small suction cups are like eyeballs opened one after another. The dirty and treacherous breath is many times better than that of the previous stone insect king.

Every tentacle is so strange and chaotic, when they pile up like this and can't wait to get into the human body, it is even more frightening and frightening.

This picture, in the eyes of outsiders, is enough for them to lose their reason and fall into madness.

It's like a horrible ritual of a cultist.

On the contrary, it is the residual light, which seems to be the only gleam left by a decent character after being devastated.

However, as far as the client feels about An Le, he is now... so happy!

The eroded heavy discomfort is quickly dissipating.

It was as if a man who had been exhausted for a week went to a professional massage parlor, took a set of health care (meow) treatments comfortably, and finally lit a cigarette and sat by the bed, letting out a leisurely sigh.

The kind of comfort and comfort is really indescribable.

On the other hand, the rays of light that merged into his body can be regarded as... some kind of divine substance!

And the weight this time far exceeds any previous one.

During the absorbing process, the entire church gradually expanded, becoming taller and deeper, and even the big guy on the mural wriggled its body excitedly, expressing joy.

As it should be, it can accommodate more believers.

——Even though An Le hadn't touched that limit, he had actually guessed that there might be an upper limit to the number of believers the church could recruit.

And expanding the capacity of the church can increase this upper limit.

With the help of the perception of the tentacles, An Le was able to see the current situation in his body clearly, achieving an effect like "inside viewing".

In his body, at least two-thirds of the flesh and blood flowed with a strange halo, and most of the skin and superficial muscles were dyed with light.

'so close……'

An Le couldn't help feeling a little lucky, if he had reacted a little later, or hadn't entered the church in time, he would probably have done what the voice said and become light forever.

Even though his body still exists, it is no longer the human named "An Le" who controls it, but something else.

The brightest place is in the brain.

That great wonder is located there.

It's just that under the piercing of several tentacles, the light dimmed visible to the naked eye.

An Le can also see clearly its true appearance.

After all the brilliance faded away, it was just an ordinary, dusty and irregular stone.

The so-called "beauty that transcends everything and everything" is nothing but the blessing of those rays of light.

It's like modern advanced filters and beauty equipment. If someone really thinks that those beautified photos are their real appearance, it is a big joke.

The tentacles wantonly absorb the halo contained in this stone.

Even though it was a bit inappropriate to say so, An Le saw that the stone seemed to be a defeated female knight or female elf, who had the strength to resist at first, but soon fell under the siege of tentacles.

soon.

When the tentacles touched the core part of the great strange thing.

Those rays of light suddenly brightened, and a magnificent consciousness descended.

He seems to have crossed endless time and space, ignoring any obstacles, and came to An Le's mind.

That anger is like a flame burning.

[How dare you! 】

That was not any language that An Le knew, not so much the meaning expressed by him, but more like the meaning that An Le understood.

He seems to want to punish An Le by some means, to punish this tiny human being who dared to devour his incarnation.

But immediately, the whole church seemed to come alive!

The walls and the ground undulate and squirm, Anle is like standing on the undulating sea, surrounded by ancient mountains and starry sky.

In the shadow of the dome, huge strange flesh like a deep sea or a city emerges, more... more... more tentacles dancing crazily, as if it could fill the entire church.

In addition to the sound of ocean waves, there is also the distant singing like the sound of whales.

A terrifying aura deeper than the abyss and vaster than the universe emerges from it.

It is like a male lion whose territory has been violated, with undisguised hostility, facing the consciousness of a god who dares to invade this place.

The monster on the mural did not dare to move at all, and stayed quietly where it should be, as if looking at it too much would bring misfortune.

And Sister Sai Lei knelt down on the ground, frantically looking at An Le in front of her.

Her cheeks were blushing, she could only groan (meow) and shouted in a low voice.

"Father Ann..."

at this moment.

The will of the church seems to be one with Anle.

He spat out majestic and cold words.

"In the name of God, I command you to step down!"

boom! ! !

The invisible collision really happened in An Le's brain.

Time stood still at this moment, and everything in front of him was pressed to rest.

An Le seems to know everything, but also seems to know nothing.

To put it bluntly, the situation he was in at this time was——

null.

I don't know how long it has passed, and time has lost its meaning.

As if someone snapped their fingers, everything returned to normal.

With a "click", the stone in his brain cracked easily, no different from the shattering of a piece of glass.

Maybe that stone is nothing special at all, but it is different because it is attached to the power of a god.

This is the same reason that the clothes worn by celebrities and the meals they eat are always more valuable.

And the consciousness of that god also dissipated along with the shattering of the stone.

Only anger, humiliation, and... a little fear?

Remains in those rays of light, dissipating bit by bit.

And the changes in the church are also gradually disappearing, returning to An Le's most familiar posture.

By this time, An Le had understood.

The so-called "great strange thing" and "the power of the god of different stones" are a complete trap to him!

This is probably not a trap aimed at him alone.

As long as you are a believer who is "extremely devout in the belief in the God of Yishi", if you pray to communicate with him in that situation, you will be able to obtain the authority of Yishi, and under "coincidence", if you come into contact with a great strange thing, you will probably fall into the trap. A situation similar to that of An Le.

The real purpose of this trap is probably... to revive a certain existence?

And this "a certain existence" should be believed by countless people-the Lord of Billions of Glory!

The reason for using words like "I'm afraid" and "Should" is that An Le really can't be sure of this.

Leaving aside why "recovery" is needed.

Based on his knowledge of the Lord of Radiance, he seems to be a kind god?

It not only spreads the brilliance to the earth, but also gives people light and heat, and makes crops grow. It is one of the sources of all things.

Without him, even human beings may not appear.

Moreover, He also guided people to destroy the undead, and sent down the "Glorious Calendar"... Judging from these deeds, His attitude towards human beings seems to be kind and friendly.

In Huijiao, there are countless praises and praises for him.

But in An Le's perception just now, everything doesn't seem to be the same thing?

He attempted to replace his consciousness and become part of the light.

An Le suddenly thought of a possibility that made his hair stand on end.

In "Book of Hui", human beings like "sages" have appeared many times.

The description in the book is—[Believers who are favored and enlightened by the Lord of Radiance have wisdom and strength beyond ordinary people, guiding people to establish churches, recruit believers, and disperse evil undead. 】

Are the so-called "sages" really pure human beings?

Are their cores also replaced by such light?

An Le thought about it for a while, and felt shuddering.

‘What is his purpose? '

'Including this strange stone...'

An Le couldn't come up with an answer to these questions for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it and looked at his panel.

[Filthy sanity +1424! 】

An Le frowned, the fatigue from the previous battle seemed to be emptied in an instant.

This is the largest income he can get outside the church.

In fact, this is no wonder.

He had a face-to-face confrontation with the consciousness of a god.

Although it is in this church, and the other party is only an incomplete existence, this matter itself is incredible enough.

'Phew...so tired...'

With such a high-intensity battle and the psychological pressure, An Le couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he just wanted to lie on the ground and have a good sleep.

At this time, Sai Lei's cold words sounded faintly.

"Father An, if you don't mind, please use me."
