Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 646 Split

  The entire city of the drow elves fell into complete chaos. The once secret war turned into an almost blatant mutual fight.

  The reason is also very simple, that is...the rules have changed.

  Fairy stood on the high platform, looking at the city shrouded in flames below, his eyes sparkled. After killing all the mistresses of the Council, Fairy immediately announced that she would tell all the drow the hidden facts and let them know the truth—she believed in the Spider Goddess, And the one who ruled this city before was only the heretical evil **** disguised as the Spider Goddess!

   At the very beginning, facing Fairy’s announcement, almost all the drow families thought she was crazy, and the mistresses and priests of those families also received the angry order of the Spider God—to completely destroy this blasphemer!

  However, they all failed.

  Neither the Melting Wax Demon nor the great divine power bestowed by the Queen of the Spider God was an opponent of that weird construct. Fairy manipulated that construct and wiped out one family after another who dared to attack her. Gradually, some people in the drow family began to suspect... Could it be that what Fairy said was true?

After all, if you calm down and think carefully, you will know that none of the priests of the Spider Queen would say such disrespectful and blasphemous remarks. You must know what Fairy said, even the maids of the Spider Queen, Waxmelt, betrayed their masters , this point is too ridiculous, but just because it is too ridiculous, could it be... Really?

   As a result, some small families began to change direction quietly. They contacted Fairy in private, wanting to know how Fairy knew all this. Then, Fairy led them to feel the power and joy from the real spider queen. After that, many small families also gained brand new power, so they decisively changed their camps and joined Fairy's ranks one after another. .

  Right now, the drow elves in this city are divided into two factions. One faction is led by the Tenth Family, which is still loyal to the original Spider God Queen, including several middle-level families. The other faction is led by Fairy, composed of most of the small families, and is loyal to what Fairy called "the real spider queen".

   And now, according to Fairy's imagination, the story has become like this.

  When the drow elves were betrayed by their evil, despicable, and shameless elves, and driven to the dark hell, it was the great spider **** who accepted these drow elves and gave them the power and space to survive underground. But the great Spider Queen's powers also waned, and she suffered a shameful betrayal.

  A traitor eager to gain the power of the Queen of God attacked the Queen of Spider God, and shamelessly imprisoned her in the bottomless abyss. She has absorbed the power of the true Spider Queen and uses it to manipulate these ignorant drow, deceiving them and luring them to her allegiance.

  However, the real spider queen never gave up resistance, and Fairy is the successor chosen by the real spider queen!

  As for the costume being immune to the power of the Spider God Queen, it is because it is the holy object created by the real Spider God Queen. Naturally, the hypocritical power of that betrayer cannot be compared with the real Spider God Queen!

  Well, there is reason and evidence, nothing wrong with it.

  Of course, it’s hard to say whether the other drow will believe it if they just say that, but soon, they got real evidence.

  Divinity.

That's right, on the continent of Faerun, believing in the gods will gain magic spells, and turning away from the gods will lose the magic spells. This is why women have a high status in the drow world, because only women can become priests of the Spider Queen and cast magic spells. The power of art.

   Regardless of whether what Fairy said is true or not, one thing is clear, that is, believing in that counterfeit can obtain divine magic, but can believing in the "real spider goddess" that Fairy said can obtain divine magic?

   Hey, it’s really good!

   As an "Old God", Duanmu Huai also has divine skills!

  In fact, the gods in the world of Cthulhu also have magic, which is why those cultists dare to make big news. Such as transforming into bats, restraining the enemy's actions, creating zombies, deforming flesh, etc... That is to say, as long as those priests are willing to convert their beliefs, they can obtain the gifts of the old gods and obtain brand new divine arts.

  This kind of magic is, to some extent, much more vicious than that of the Spider Goddess.

   There are two points.

  First, as long as this kind of magic is used, no matter whether it is the caster, the target, or even the witness, the SAN value will be lost.

  However, there is no concept of SAN value on Faerun Continent at all...

  Second, once the SAN value drops to a certain level, the opponent's sanity will inevitably begin to collapse, and thus succumb to the spiritual pollution of the old gods.

   After realizing this, Duanmu Huai was going crazy with joy.

   Now the battle between the two sides is basically like this.

  The two factions of believers meet and start a battle, and then the believers on Fairy’s side will release a large number of spells that lower the SAN value. Regardless of whether these spells are effective or not, they will reduce the SAN value of both the enemy and us.

   Then when the SAN value drops to a certain level, the priests, priests, and warriors on the opposite side will completely collapse, succumb to the spiritual pollution of the old gods, admit the so-called "real spider goddess", and become Fierui's subordinates.

   After all, the reduction of SAN value is almost irreversible, and Faerun has no concept of SAN value at all, so they don't know how to prevent this kind of terrifying power that starts from the spirit.

Of course, with the reduction of SAN value and the spiritual pollution of the old gods, even the fanatics on Fairy's side will gradually change their appearance, their forms will mutate, distort, and become indescribable and terrifying Old family members. Their bodies will gradually elongate into a snake-like shape, a pair of bat-like wings will grow from their bodies, and their heads will turn into a spider-like shape.

  Well, pure old **** superior servant race.

  If this is placed in a normal society, I am afraid that everyone can guess that there is a ghost.

   But the problem is that drow is not a normal society.

   Everyone has long been used to turning drows into spider elves. Fairy even declared that those drows transformed into the family members of the old gods are the brave ones who have truly received the gift of the Spider Goddess!

  Of course, if this is the case, then Duanmuhuai will take it as fun, but the problem is that this is not just fun, it even brought him real benefits!

  That is—his experience of the will of the old gods has increased dramatically, and it has been upgraded!

  If it is the power of faith, then Duanmu Huai cannot be upgraded. Faerun is a world of faith power. It is impossible for Duanmu Huai to increase the power of faith by pretending to be the queen of the spider god. This is why each **** is separate from each other, and few gods act in the name of other gods.

  But Duanmuhuai's experience of the will of the old gods comes from spiritual pollution, that is to say, the more creatures the SAN value decreases, the higher the degree of spiritual pollution, and the more experience he will gain.

  So Duanmuhuai doesn't need to rely on faith to gain experience. No matter what he pretends to be, as long as the spiritual pollution can spread, his experience value will skyrocket.

   In addition, Duanmu Huai also taught some of the spells of the Pink Book as divine spells, and by the way, he gained a wave of [God of Joy] experience.

  Now the experience of these two clergy is soaring!

  Currently, the war between the two sides is almost one-sided. Although the faction headed by the tenth family still has the divine power bestowed by the Spider Goddess, it is too terrifying to hold back the old gods and the power of joy. First of all, the power of joy lowers the will, and after the defense is broken, a bunch of old **** magic is thrown over, the SAN value drops to low in an instant, and the sanity collapses and the spirit is polluted.

   And then it's over.

   No matter how awesome the Spider Goddess is, she can't manipulate a lunatic, right?

   Soon, the power of the former shrank rapidly. After all, Duanmuhuai is not a spider queen, and he can use magic spells regardless of whether you are a man or a woman or an armed helicopter. In contrast, only women on Drow's side can use divine spells, and the numbers are different. In addition, the ability to lower the SAN value has almost no countermeasures in Faerun Continent, so that it is almost retreating steadily, and finally completely collapse.

  However...it's not over yet.

Originally, Duanmuhuai was just planning to train the mind manipulation skills he had obtained from the illithids, but he did not expect such an interesting thing to happen by accident, so he immediately changed his mind and set a new goal for Fairy .

  That is - liberate all dark elf cities throughout the Underdark, and free them from false beliefs!

   And Fairy had no doubts, and directly summoned all the drow elves to form an army, and rushed directly to another nearby drow elf city.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

  Standing on the city wall, looking at the drow army below, Duanmu Huai also shook his head and sighed. At the beginning, he just wanted to verify his own ideas. The technology of sealing memory and brainwashing similar to illithids is too dangerous and low-level, so Duanmu Huai wanted to see if he could distort the minds of these drow And faith, what will become of it.

  Although it is said that the drow priests are all loyal followers of the Spider Goddess, their loyalty goes without saying, but the question is—is the Spider Goddess they believe in the same?

  That's right, this is the source of Duanmuhuai's distortion of Fairy's heart.

   It is true that every drow believes in the Spider Goddess, but who can guarantee that the Spider Goddess you believe in must be the Spider Goddess I believe in?

  As the saying goes, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. Regarding the oracle of the Spider Goddess, a thousand drow may have a thousand different interpretations.

  If you want to disintegrate this belief from within, the best way is to strengthen individual thinking and weaken collective thinking.

Fairy longed to survive, so she killed her sister and mother. In Fairy's view, all of this was the spider queen's will. The Spider Queen was already convinced. And when the mistresses headed by the council scolded her, the spider queen in their hearts was naturally different from the spider queen in Fairy's heart.

   Well, one of these must be fake!

  So Duanmu Huai directed Fairy's thinking to the other party, and came to such a result. This is much more clever than manipulating the other party's memory. Because this is almost the conclusion that Fairy came to by himself, what Duanmu Huai did was to induce her to make a choice - everyone doubts others, but they rarely doubt themselves.

  It’s like justice, everyone is fighting for their own justice, but when both sides are upholding justice and confronting each other, then one side’s justice must be evil for others.

  This kind of ideological collision is the most unsolvable, unless one of them suddenly realizes and gives up—it is impossible to give up, he has sacrificed so much for his own ideas, and once he gives up, it is tantamount to denying his own life.

  So in the end, there is only one way to go.

   Now, Duanmuhuai has won the initial victory.

He knew it wasn't over yet, the Spider Goddess' anger was reverberating in the Underdark, but there was nothing she could do about it, this was the real world, as if the evil **** needed a lot of sacrifices to blur the barrier between reality and subspace. However, unless the dark elf believers who sacrificed an entire city are connected to the subspace, the Spider Goddess can only stare blankly in her lair of the bottomless abyss.

  Even if she came to the real world, Duanmu Huai was confident of killing her.

   Right now, the dark elves in this city have been completely polluted.

  Looking at the drow elves who left the city without hesitation and set it on fire, Duanmuhuai smiled. Fiery had told them that this was an expedition, and they would travel through the Underdark in the glory of the true Spider Queen to liberate all their compatriots who were blinded by the traitors. Until then, they won't come back and won't stop!

  If it were a normal drow elf, they would never agree to such an almost insane order from Fairy. But now, the spirits of these drow have been completely distorted, their hearts are filled with joy and pollution, and they have become obedient, only eager to feel the happiness and the release of the real Spider Queen. Under the spiritual pollution, the drow lost the last trace of rationality and wisdom, and turned into an evil, cruel and indescribable monster.

   This trick is good for dealing with believers of the Four Gods.

  Duanmuhuai nodded, the indescribable spiritual pollution of the old gods is not much weaker than the low voice of the evil gods. After all, the four gods are also the mountain kings in the galaxy, and they are incomparable with the outer gods that span the entire universe. If the level of the old god's will is high enough, then he will be more confident in fighting against the four gods.

   As for the Outer Gods - well, let's talk about these troubles when they enter the galaxy.

  Of course, Duanmuhuai hoped that they had better not come here for the rest of their lives.

  After all, the universe is very big.
