Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 90 It’s broken, I became a god. (Second update, please subscribe first!)

After a while, Hughes opened his eyes again from the throne.

He just descended again and confirmed that the worker Zeus no longer had any abnormalities. It seemed that he had really become an ordinary body.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out anything. Zeus had no good solution and could only prepare to descend into the body of Lord Zeus.

But when he looked at Lord Xius, he subconsciously glanced at the worker Xius.
Hope all goes well with the plan.
Hughes paused abruptly.

Where does that sound come from? Who is speaking?

I am going to read this forbidden knowledge, and I hope God will protect me from being contaminated.
Lord, please bless the cafeteria so that there won’t be any more fruit porridge at noon today!

My Lord, grant me three thousand leos to repay the loan.

What the hell is that sound?

Why does it sound so much like praying?
Well, it should be prayer, but why did he hear the prayer? What does this have to do with him?
You know, he is still sitting on the Golden Throne. Zeus always thought that the only connection between this place and the real world was the arrival of the body. It turns out that he can come here by praying?
Hughes felt a huge shock, as if the soap had turned into olive-flavored food.

Subconsciously, he shifted his gaze away from the worker Hughes.

There was silence in my ears.

Hughes took a deep breath.

Looking at the worker Hughes again, the sound of prayers rang in his ears again.

When I shifted my gaze away from the worker, Hughes, all these tiny noises disappeared.

Hughes was silent.

“It really comes from this body.”

It is not difficult to guess where these sounds come from. They must be believers praying to God, right?

But why do I hear these sounds?

First, he is not God, and second, he has no believers.

How did these prayers reach him?

Looking at the big hole in the worker Hughes' chest, Hughes couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this body contained more secrets than he had imagined.

The voices he just heard were those of both men and women. Although they were not clear, Hughes was sure that they did not come from the workers.

If they were not the workers from the previous life, then where did these believers come from? Could they be believers of the Candlelight Society?
Come to think of it, it is indeed possible. The Candlelight Society killed the worker Xius and was specially transported to this remote island. There is a conspiracy no matter how you look at it.

Hughes rubbed his chin.

Only when you look at the worker Hughes can you hear these prayers, so will you be able to hear them when you descend into this body?
Zeus did what he thought of it, and soon he was back in the coffin.

Lord, please forgive my sins

I hope the novel I write will be a bestseller.
The book I stole from the library must not be discovered!

The sound of prayers continued, even clearer than what was heard on the throne.

The corner of Zeus's eye twitched, and he returned to the throne room in silence.

"It's broken, this body won't..."

"He has become a god."

At the long table in the study, Xius slowly raised his head.

He did not move in a hurry, but stayed quietly for a while, as if waiting for something.

Then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, those prayers can no longer be heard."

If he really descended and could still hear the prayers, he would be in big trouble. Maybe the body was affecting him.

Fortunately, these bodies are independent of each other, and the prayers are only heard in situations directly related to the worker, Hughes. "This is too strange. How can I hear such prayers out of nowhere?"

If we extrapolate logically, the most likely conclusion is that the worker Zeus became a god for some reason and was able to hear these prayers.

He also purified the pollution in the worker Zeus' body, and thus possessed the power of a god.

Well, this speculation was purely imaginative and he had absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

For example, the so-called power of God is limited to listening to these prayers. It cannot even have a conversation, let alone any other uses.

Also, the body of the worker Zeus could move on its own before, but now it can't move. Zeus seriously suspects that something in it has been purified by himself.

In other words, he not only purified the pollution, but also purified the original gods.
Of course, this idea was so shocking that he himself didn't believe it.

How could a god be purified so easily, without even the slightest ability to resist?

In short, he now has the inexplicable ability to listen to other people's prayers.

"Although it's of no use, it points me in a direction."

The Candlelight Society must be plotting some conspiracy. He has to find a way to find out what happened after the worker Hughes died.

Hughes narrowed his eyes.

"Well, let's go check out that body first."

Evoke the mind connection, and groups of light points appear in the mind.

Ash

I'm listening

"Come over here for a moment, I'll come find you."

Xius turned and looked outside.

His testing and purification of the pollution took quite some time, and now it was already dark outside.

"Dark? Dark is perfect."

It didn't take long for Zeus to arrive near the church, accompanied by Ash.

"Can you see inside the church from here?"

"It's hard to see, and it's difficult for our senses to penetrate the stone walls and reach inside. Furthermore, this church seems to be protected in some way—a passive protection that seems to have been established during its construction."

Ash's words were a little confusing, but Hughes still understood what she meant.

When he entered the church, he found that it was carefully designed. There were even some hidden supernatural powers in the confessional. The Candlelight Society's church had a certain degree of defense against supernatural perception.

It's quite normal to think about it. A church in such a remote place might have to face some cultists or something, so it must have some ability to protect itself.

It was already late at night, the lights in Sister Chloe's room had long been turned off, and no sound could be heard.

But Hughes still didn't dare to be careless. The box containing his body was buried in the church yard, and Sister Chloe could see it by opening the curtains.

The distance was too close, and the slightest sound might wake her up.

Zeus was not sure that he could complete the operation completely quietly. He couldn't just rush in and knock Chloe unconscious.

Although Brother Keschi was ill, he was not without fighting ability. There was no need for a head-on confrontation, so he planned to secretly take out the body.

As for how to get it?
Hughes glanced around.

He and Ash were now hiding in the woods not far from the church. Although there was a wall between them, the straight-line distance from here to there was only a few dozen meters.

"Ash, are you good at digging holes?"

Ash was stunned.
