Creation: I Am Azathoth

yellow star.

Wild continent.

Rose Kingdom.

This used to be a kingdom with relatively weak comprehensive strength on this continent, and most of the time it could only survive in the cracks of other large kingdoms at the cost of money.

But all of this has undergone a qualitative change as the mysterious church gradually surfaced and cultivated strong people for the mainland.

With a large number of believers, the Kingdom of Rose has become the favorite of the mainland, and the former heavenly kingdoms flock to it.

The mysterious church, which could only survive in the dark and was not recognized by the major kingdoms, has become an orthodoxy highly respected by all countries.

The reason for all this is that the believers of the mysterious church who followed the [Three Mysterious Gods] crazily prayed devoutly and looked directly at the appearance of the gods.

Not only did they gradually see the appearance of the gods more clearly, but they also possessed power beyond ordinary people under the radiating power of the gods.

Their bodies still retain the image of orcs.

The subtle differences only exist in the deeper and deeper eyes.

The pupils in the eyes of people polluted by divine power gradually turn black.

When the pupils of the eyes turn completely black, strange lines will appear on both sides of the temples.

The more complex the texture, the stronger the divine power it possesses.

Such people were gradually born, and at first they were all nobles, but they also caused panic in the vast continent.

Nations saw them as heretics, traveling for purges.

But the results are obvious.

Ordinary people cannot be enemies of extraordinary people.

What's more, a longer lifespan and powerful strength will also attract more and more believers to join.

And the high-ranking dignitaries couldn't refuse this temptation even more.

As a result, it will change from a cult to an orthodox church in a short period of time.

Those heretics who were once called demons leapt to glory.

They are called "knights".

The kingdoms wantonly built mysterious churches, making all the orcs on this continent believe in the God of Mystery.

However, something happened recently that severely damaged the reputation of the Mysterious Church.

This made the originally unsteady civilian believers start to waver.

——Several knights who gained "divine power" (actually polluted) lost their minds when they lost control of their emotions.

Moreover, their bodies deformed in horror, becoming chaotic and violent, destroying the surroundings and killing living things indiscriminately.

However, under the suppression of the high-ranking people, large-scale riots did not occur among the people.

The explanation given by the church is that not everyone is qualified to follow the gods.

Only those with a firm mind can control the power zone that does not belong to the mortal world.

After beheading those monsters who lost their minds, the high-level knights strictly limited the number of times each believer could participate in the "Meeting the God Ritual".

Because they found that the more powerful they got, the easier it was to fall into madness and unable to extricate themselves when their emotions were out of control.

Therefore, cultivating a tenacious mind and maintaining emotional calm have also become compulsory courses for the Mysterious Church.

Before the new believers are determined to be ready, they are forbidden to participate in the "meeting ceremony" collectively.

Moreover, Fuqishi will also undergo regular mental examinations.

A monitoring agency has been set up within the church to isolate those suspected of being mentally unstable.

The tendency to run out of control is contained, and the people are not making noise.

More and more common believers joined the mysterious church.

After all, this is the only legal shortcut for them to go from commoner to powerful.

One of the top ten cities in the Rose Kingdom, Bertel City with rich mineral accumulation.

It was the first few big cities where the Mysterious Church developed, and now the number and scale of the Holy See is second to none in the kingdom.

Under the evening sun, the entire northern part of Bertel City was covered with a film of light.

Today is the day when the largest mysterious church on the edge of the city holds a ceremony to meet the gods.

The mysterious church has various strict and exquisite systems.

The ceremony of seeing the gods will only be held in the evening.

Moreover, the largest Holy See is located on the outskirts of the city.

One is to prevent the fanatical prayers at night from disturbing the people.

The second is that in a sparsely populated, quiet and dark environment, the probability of the gods accepting tribute will be greater.

No believer knows why.

But this is the result of continuous groping and summarizing by generations of sages.

Or perhaps, it is because the God of Mystery itself represents "the unknown terror in the dark"

Therefore, they prefer such an environment.

In the depths of the forest not far from Bertel City.

In the basement of an ancient castle, dim candles were lit.

"Resurrected from the abyss, my servant, I name you nameless one. Your name is 'Shabu'

With a hoarse sound, a large pile of orc corpses in the stone room squirmed and intertwined, forming a huge meat ball.

After a while, a pair of immature palms tore open the mucous membrane on the surface of the meat ball.

A little girl was covered in yellow slime, wearing a black princess dress, looking around with weird green eyes.

Shabu looked around blankly, but his heart was full of doubts.

Because she didn't understand why she was here.

She remembered being destroyed by a sickening light of justice, kindness, and cleanliness.

Lost consciousness and returned to eternal death.

But now, she appeared here after regaining consciousness.

The walls of this stone room are filled with books and magic circles drawn with blood-red lines.

"Can you move already? It seems...you are a very talented necromancer."

Hearing the voice that seemed to seep into her mind, Shabu slowly looked to the side, looking at the person who made her restless.

The person who summoned Shabu was an old man wearing a black night robe, with a light-black face carved with countless wrinkles and deep-set eyes.

Despite his thin build, he does not give the impression of being weak.

The old man was white-haired and skinny, holding a twisted horror wand in his hand.

The wand glowed an eerie white, perhaps made from the bones of some animal.

Shabu couldn't grasp the situation and could only stare at the old man.

The old man did not expect Shabu's answer at all, and continued:

"I am Osis, the one who challenges the divine right, even the Necromancer and your creator! I order you, surrender to me!"

The old man's last words made Shabu's brain tremble, and he lowered his head involuntarily.

This made Shabu want to tear the old man directly.

But she found herself extremely weak now.

Not only can't summon [Friend·Alice], but also can't incarnate [Resentment Sea Demon], even the most basic worms have lost contact.

Shabu sorted out the current situation, knowing that he might be weakened by resurrection from death.

And the person who resurrected himself --- Osis.

He is a necromancer, a being who uses evil powers to awaken the dead.

And, he seems to have power over himself.

Very well, Shab, come with me.

Osis nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the room that looked like a research room.

Shabu stood up, dragging his black and white tail to follow silently.

The body can move, and the hands and feet can move freely.

After walking out of the room, Osis suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shabu.

His eyes were pitch black, filled with unfathomable darkness, and complex lines crawled all over the temples.

"Hmm... It seems that I can understand people's language. I don't need to give orders all the time, and it can also reduce consumption. (Did it)

Shabu didn't understand what he was talking about.

However, the smart Shabu soon remembered that when Osis said "I command you to surrender to me", she instinctively lowered her head.

But when Osis said "Follow me", Shabu's body didn't have that coercive force.

It was her own will that she thought it would be better to keep up.

Where is the difference between the two?

I am afraid it is the word "order".

From what Osis said, using "command" seems to consume his mana.

Therefore, it was a surprise to him that Shabu could understand some human words.

To Osis, Shabu is just a puppet, and he is the puppet master.

But if every movement of the puppet needs to be manipulated by the puppet master, it will be troublesome.

If the puppet can make some simple movements by itself, it will save a lot of energy.

Shabu still didn't speak, and turned himself into facial paralysis with the little power left.

Seeing that Shabu remained silent, Osis nodded as if satisfied for some reason, and then walked again.

Shabu also followed.

Judging from Osis's words and actions, it is best for her not to speak. .
