Green Monster Epic

“Master, your guess was indeed correct. Besides me, quite a few goblin believers have received the Holy Grace within the Society.”

Zelang returned with results in less than three magical hours. He quietly returned to the underground temple with Blanco, Kehan, and other high-level members of the Society, bringing several blindfolded goblins behind him, and excitedly reported to Albad.

After a series of reforms, the efficiency of the Food God Society has indeed been greatly improved, which has also slightly relieved the concerns of goblins like Blanco, who had previously been doubtful. With the establishment of supervisory bodies like the Holy Ministry, and the removal of many additional responsibilities from the Evangelization Court, the middle and lower-level priests and servants are now working more easily and diligently. Consequently, the speed of feedback on tasks assigned from above is much faster than in the past.

“Last night, at the same time I was blessed by our Lord, many believers in the town also received divine grace. We only did a preliminary count and search, and we found six or seven goblin believers who had received divine grace.”

“Behind me are three believers who have attained the status of Second-Level Priests and are willing to serve our Lord. We have brought them back.”

“Moreover, we believe that the number of goblins who have received the Holy Grace this time will probably not be small. Not to mention the surrounding towns, because of the distance, we cannot get accurate information. Just in our Green Lake Town, I believe there must be goblins who have received divine grace but have not been found by us.”

“What about you, Fox Head? Have you experienced any changes?”

Because there were several newcomers who had just been brought into the temple, Albad did not call out Kehan and the others' names according to the confidentiality rules, but used their aliases to address them.

“Uh… I’m sorry, Master, we haven’t felt any abnormalities.”

Blanco, Kehan, and the others couldn’t help but lower their heads. In the eyes of these believers, the Holy Grace actually had another meaning, representing the feedback from the Lord they served for their devout faith. The fact that Kehan and the others did not receive a response, could it be said from a certain perspective that their faith was not firm or devout enough, which is why they failed to receive feedback?

At least at this moment, Kehan and several high-level believers had this idea, so when Albad asked about their changes, they felt guilt and sin.

“Hmm…”

Albad murmured, his eyes distant, as he recorded these data in the notebook he carried with him while thinking.

“I need the Ministry of Holy Affairs to organize a professional investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the goblins who have received the Holy Grace.”

“I will select suitable candidates to handle this matter in a moment.”

Zelang nodded and replied solemnly.

“Give you a week to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

“Understood.”

“Also, a plan needs to be made in advance for these lucky ones who have received the Holy Grace. In this regard, the Ministry of Holy Orders can cooperate with the Ministry of Holy Affairs to jointly conduct an investigation on them.”

“Also, regarding the Department of Doctrine, have the interpretation teachers you selected been trained yet?”

“They are currently undergoing their final graduation exam. After the exam results are released the day after tomorrow, qualified interpretation lecturers can be selected.”

“Hurry up. The Ministry of Cultivation must have a training institution similar to a tribal school, specifically for training the divine members within the Society. From now on, the divine members dispatched by our Food God Society must be professional, with sufficient knowledge and understanding of our Lord’s doctrine, and not the current uneven situation.”

“Yes.”

“After seeking their opinions, bring all the believers who have received divine grace to the Ministry of Cultivation to report. Let them receive qualified education and training first, and then decide which department they will be specifically assigned to according to their actual abilities.”

“No department shall conceal or intercept the divinely graced believers. These are important resources of our Food God Society and must be used rationally.”

“Understood!!”

The reform of the Food God Society is in full swing. Many new departments have been established, but many of these departments are currently just empty shells because they lack suitable professional members. For this reason, Albad has been racking his brains these days, just to make the Food God Society evolve from a makeshift team into a qualified theocratic institution as soon as possible.

While studying the information about the secret organizations of the church that the patriarch gave him, he combined the actual situation to re-establish the organizational structure of the Food God Society from scratch. The difficulties were far more difficult than Albad had expected.

Moreover, these reforms must also take into account the two important tasks of evangelization and confidentiality of the Food God Society, which made Albad use his brain every day until his brain sent out a strong stinging sensation, telling the owner of the body that the brain organ had reached its limit.

Now, the general framework of the reformed Food God Society has been determined. There may be changes in the addition and subtraction of departments in the future, but the main body will basically not change much.

The original Evangelization Court has been stripped of most of its redundant powers and is dedicated to developing believers and spreading the Food God’s faith. The power of priests and servants has been reduced to avoid wasting their evangelization time.

The original Court of Hearings has reorganized a more professional Intelligence Division, which is not only responsible for the collection and sorting of various intelligence, but also responsible for blocking the leakage of external intelligence, assisting the Food God Society to hide in the darkness. At the same time, the Court of Hearings has also begun to cultivate its own espionage members to infiltrate other forces to obtain information and intelligence, and prevent enemy members from infiltrating the Food God Society.

The original Department of Doctrine retained its original functions, continued to study and integrate the Food God’s faith, and continued to deeply explore its meaning, formulating a more complete and specific Food God Code.

The original Ministry of Holy Affairs, in addition to the daily management of members and materials in the underground temple, also newly established a Charity Division, specializing in providing assistance to poor and distressed believers in the Food God Society, to win over and maintain the hearts of believers.

The newly established Ministry of Cultivation is responsible for the re-training of the divine members of the Food God Society, helping them learn the new code content set by the Department of Doctrine, learning how to evangelize and develop believers, learning how to hide their whereabouts… At the same time, the Ministry of Cultivation also has a special cultivation institute, which contains various inheritance crystals and knowledge books to facilitate divine members to improve their strength.

The newly established Ministry of Holy Orders is responsible for the daily assessment and supervision of the divine members within the Food God Society, and has the power to promote and demote divine members. The subordinate Supervisory Division is responsible for investigating and dealing with illegal and rule-breaking behaviors of members of the Food God Society…

Don’t look at the fact that there seem to be only two or three newly established departments, but in fact, in order to sort out the scope of responsibilities of all departments, Albad, Zelang, and Blanco have gone through countless discussions and consultations before they finally completely determined it.

No matter which department head it was, none would sit idly by while their department's power was being stripped away. Everyone hoped to gain the maximum benefit. This was the nature of intelligent races, and it wouldn't change just because they wholeheartedly served a certain deity; they wouldn't truly become desireless and without wants.

Of course, the pace of reform was still ongoing. At least, in Albard's view, the current structure of the God of Gluttony Association was far from meeting the standard. However, he was, after all, newly taking over a divine authority organization, and he didn't understand this aspect of things. The available information in his hands was also not detailed enough. If he wanted to complete the task assigned by the patriarch, the road ahead would be very long.

… … … …

Allen didn't even know how his consciousness returned to his body. At this moment, his mind was filled with the magnificent and shocking scenes from the depths of the endless starry sky, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Fortunately, the control of his body was currently in the hands of his divine consciousness. He calmly put the still steaming Jinhua ham and rice wine casserole into the food box and cleaned up the cooking utensils on the rooftop. Only then did he slowly disappear from the rooftop, carrying the food box.

Above Mansha City, several eagles circled and soared in the sky, sometimes calling out loudly and sometimes drifting away leisurely, a peaceful natural scene. However, beneath this natural scene, no one could guess which of these eagles was real, which one was transformed, or whether the essence of all the eagles was just a manifestation of other creatures.

The seemingly empty air actually concealed hidden mysteries. Several magic eyes with nearly imperceptible magic fluctuations floated high in the sky, overlooking the prosperous and vast city.

Every move Allen made on the rooftop was under the surveillance of these creatures and magic. Especially when he cooked a high-level magic dish, causing the phenomenon of magical resonance, he became the focus of countless eyes.

But these snoopers probably never imagined that, under their surveillance, the bear goblin demigod who seemed to be meditating and adjusting his breath for only a few minutes had actually gained a huge harvest.

As soon as he returned to the secret room in his study, Allen withdrew his 'Dual Mind' legendary feat and carefully began to experience and feel the various results and judgments obtained by the divine consciousness through continuous observation and research after the divine consciousness and the main consciousness became one.

In particular, the star resonance frequency that the divine consciousness focused on memorizing became the focus of Allen's attention. Even though his body was severely depleted at this time, he couldn't help but want to experiment.

“Huff!!!!!”

His resilient heart was still beating excitedly. Allen took a deep breath, and then his eyes suddenly became deep and clear. His powerful self-control allowed him to calm down in an instant.

Fury began to flow in the blood vessels of his body, and the strands of mental power that had just recovered a little also began to surge with the anger. The two energies turned into two little elves in his body, chasing and playing with each other, sometimes entwining and converging, and sometimes racing against each other.

As the speed of the fury and mental power strands circulating in his body gradually increased, the energy vibration frequency unique to Allen himself also gradually began to ripple in this space, forming faint ripples.

The stable vibration frequency, under Allen's control, began to operate at a different speed than usual, gradually showing a slight fluctuation. As the amplitude of the fluctuation became larger and larger, Allen's own energy vibration frequency gradually approached the vibration frequency of the starry sky planet that was deeply imprinted in his mind.

“Hmph!!!!”

Fury galloped rapidly through his blood vessels. Even the body of a demigod, with energy meridians protecting the blood vessels, couldn't adapt to such a frantic operation for a while. A piercing pain, as if ten thousand steel needles were piercing through his entire body at the same time, struck Allen's heart, causing him to let out a painful groan.

At least with such a distraction, the two energy streams that were originally close to their peak suddenly became like deflated balls, no longer under the control of Allen's consciousness, and began to scurry around in his body. The first experiment ended in failure.

“Pfft!!!!”

A mouthful of filthy blood spurted out from the corner of Allen's mouth. His body, which had just recovered somewhat, was tossed around by him like this, and several internal organs and blood vessel walls were once again torn with hidden injuries in the energy collision. Allen's injuries worsened again.

Casually wiping away the remaining blood foam from the corner of his mouth, there was no disappointment in Allen's eyes. Compared to the previous aimless and purposeless random experiments, the bear goblin, now with a direction, was full of energy. A few failures were actually within his tolerance.

However, the results of this experiment also made Allen clearly realize that it was not a rational choice to act rashly before his body was properly recuperated. The resonance frequency reached unconsciously before was very safe, but Allen had no idea what the principle was, so he could only use this brute force method to achieve his goal.

It was just that doing so put too much burden on his body. According to the results of Allen's attempt this time, his current dilapidated body really couldn't withstand such barbaric torment.

Although he was unwilling, Allen still forcibly suppressed the idea of continuing the experiment and prepared to recuperate in peace. At least until his physical functions recovered to most of their capacity, he did not intend to do any more experiments in this area.

Anyway, recuperating his body would only take a few years, and he still had at least several hundred years of time. It wasn't like he couldn't afford to wait.

After making the decision, Allen turned his gaze back to the food box. There was still a delicious meal that he had carefully cooked waiting for him to enjoy!!!!!

His spirit was wrapped up and traveled to an unknown void. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, only a few minutes had passed in the real world. At this time, the newly created delicacy in the food box was still emitting steaming heat and a restrained magical aura.

Taking out a pair of chopsticks, Allen picked up a piece of Jinhua ham meat as red as blood and put it to his mouth. Just as it came into contact with his lips and teeth, a fiery hot aura gushed out from the slice of meat. Before Allen could chew, the slice of ham meat turned into a warm current, flowing down Allen's throat towards his stomach.

The heat quickly filled Allen's body, and the vast magic power even tempted the fury that was quietly lurking in his body to stir. Finally, with Allen's consent, the fury turned into giant beasts, tearing and absorbing these magic powers that entered his body…

“It’s really a pity. If Figglas, that fire dragon, were to eat this dish, the benefit to him would probably be greater than the benefit I get from eating it…”

While tasting the dish and feeling the physical changes brought about by this high-level peak, even somewhat legendary-level dish, Allen muttered to himself with regret.

However, while enjoying the delicious food, Allen's thoughts suddenly returned to the endless starry sky, thinking about the clusters of golden light that suddenly gushed out at the end. He didn't know where they had disappeared to in the end.
