Willpower: N (Expandable)
There was no point in offering any more sacrifices. Rand shook his head and walked out of the sacrificial chamber.
The next step was to deal with the other people, at which point he was still not out of danger.
This doesn't look like a place with just one cult member.
The exact number is unknown.
He wasn't sure how much of a chance he had if he went head-to-head with them. Without a clear comparison, he didn't know exactly where his strength stood.
Anyway, he felt that he was just a little stronger and had a better recovery ability, and he didn't seem to feel tired.
What are the capabilities of the pile driver?
Moreover, this ability to be exempt from sacrifice only prevents him from being sacrificed to death, but it does not make him invincible.
Therefore, he came up with a brilliant idea.
Cultists must yearn for the love of the Mother Goddess.
He donned the black robe left behind by the man in black and told everyone he met that the man in black had gained the favor of the Mother Goddess and had been personally guided to the Kingdom of God.
Because of the black robes, these people didn't recognize who Rand was for a while, and the bombshell news of gaining the favor of the Mother Goddess was incredibly attractive to believers like them.
soon……
A large number of cultists followed Rand suspiciously to the sacrificial chamber. Just as the small chamber was about to fill up, someone finally asked, "Who are you?"
"I am a messenger of the gods!" Rand shouted.
The audience burst into laughter; no one believed it.
"what are you?"
"When did you sneak in?"
Someone else recognized Rand: "Aren't you the sacrificial offering I captured?"
Just as this group of people were about to capture him.
Rand deftly dodged it, then walked onto the altar.
Slice open your palm.
He recited the sacrificial prayers with unimaginable fluency and speed.
In an instant, Rand's body disappeared from everyone's sight.
Then... it returned intact.
“I am the messenger of the Mother Goddess,” Rand said once again.
At this moment, all the cult members in the room were deeply moved.
Is it really, is it truly a divine messenger?
They were certainly familiar with the prayers of the sacrifice, and how this person met the Mother Goddess and returned unharmed.
Just as these cultists were discussing amongst themselves, Rand spoke up again, interrupting their thoughts.
Rand's voice was filled with reverence for the Mother Goddess. He looked at the cultists as if they were lambs in need of guidance: "The Mother Goddess is loving, and her gifts are equal. As long as you have enough merit, you will surely gain her favor."
Rand pulled out the nails he had used to pin the man in black and slashed a long, bloody gash across his pale arm.
Before everyone's eyes, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is the blessing of the Mother Goddess!" Rand exclaimed fervently.
Having witnessed miracles repeatedly, the vast majority of the cultists present became fanatical.
No one cared anymore that Rand had previously been nothing more than a sacrifice captured from the enemy.
Miracles are the ultimate desire of every believer.
They worked so diligently to develop their sect in order to witness the power of God and change their weak and powerless lives.
Now, this miracle seems to be within easy reach.
Seeing that he had successfully fooled her, Rand secretly praised himself for his acting talent, wondering how he hadn't known he was such a good actor before.
He planned to tell these cultists that only by truly meeting the Mother Goddess could they receive God's reward.
As for why merits are asked, one reason is that if there is no threshold, it is too easy and easily arouses suspicion. Another reason is that he is afraid of wrongly killing good people. What if someone is forced to become a cult member?
After all, this is a game world. Who knows, some main character might start their bitter and hateful life in a cult's den?
Rand stood on the altar, arms outstretched, as if he were truly the spokesperson for the gods.
He proclaimed, “Lambs of God, now tell me your deeds. Only those who have accomplished enough are worthy of the Mother Goddess’s reward.”
He planned to first hear how wicked they were, and then send all the damned ones to meet their mother goddess.
As Rand finished speaking, a man in black robes stepped forward nervously and said, "I have abducted infants and snatched children from their parents dozens of times."
Another one stepped forward: "I deceived the girls, lured them here to have their blood drained and their hearts cut out."
Soon, the cult members who felt they would receive a reward confessed their crimes one by one.
Rand felt disgusted by their evil deeds, but outwardly smiled to show his approval.
Rand nodded, indicating that all of these people were qualified to meet the Mother Goddess; they were not qualified and no one else was.
Then it was the turn of those cult members who felt they were not qualified.
Rand looked at a black-robed figure standing timidly at the back: "What have you done? How come you don't even have the courage to explain your achievements?"
The man in black robes who was pointed at was startled and looked around in confusion, only to realize that Rand was asking him.
Just like a student who is caught sleeping in class and is called on by the teacher, feeling lost and helpless.
Realizing this was a question from the divine messenger, he had to answer: "I... I stole bread from the bakery!"
Okay, you're not qualified to go and die. No, you're not qualified to meet the Mother Goddess.
There really are cultists who aren't evil at all. Are you some kind of protagonist? Rand stared at the somewhat timid cultist, but quickly looked away.
"And you?" Rand looked at the next person.
“I have poached the lord’s rabbits.”
He also knew why this was a crime, within the historical context of the game.
In a designated territory, all assets belong to the lord, including the game in the woodlands; poaching is undoubtedly a crime.
This rabbit poacher is not qualified to meet the Mother Goddess.
After asking each question, Rand pointed out all the cultists who were qualified to see the Mother Goddess, and waved his arms wildly, shouting, "Now is the time when the Mother Goddess is calling you!"
"Now, standing on the altar, I will guide you with the divine power of the Goddess of Abundance!"
Close your eyes, shut your voices, silence your voices, and then listen to God's call!
Rand slashed his own arm, letting the blood drip onto the altar, then looked at the already somewhat crowded altar.
Recite the words he said when he was sacrificed.
"God is unveiling your veil!"
"Farewell, lambs," Rand murmured to himself, hoping that they would not be alarmed when they saw God.
At this moment, the cultist who had stolen the bread spoke up again, cowering: "Divine Messenger! Where, where did they go?"
“They went to the Mother Goddess’s kingdom!” Rand made up with his eyes closed: “There, the rivers flow with goat’s milk and honey, the trees on the banks are laden with fruit all year round, and no one is affected by cold or hunger.”
"Is it really that good?" The cultist, who looked to be underage and very young, mustered his courage and asked, "If I achieve the accomplishments of my predecessors, can I also go to God's Kingdom?"
Rand shook his head: "Child, what's your name?"
"Sers"
Rand breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't any of the game protagonists he'd heard of. It seemed there wasn't such a coincidence: "They've already used up all the spots for doing good deeds. From now on, only by diligently following my arrangements will I find another way for you to reach the Kingdom of Gods."
Seres nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Chapter 2 Wanted Criminals and the Mole
Three days later, Rand silently held a piece of paper and was rushing back to his hideout.
It wasn't because he had any attachment to that cult of the goddess of abundance, but because he was wanted by the authorities.
He saw his own arrest warrant in a nearby town.
He made up a random excuse to send the followers away and went to a nearby town.
Rand was so excited about freedom that he saw a wanted criminal's portrait that looked exactly like his own, with someone explaining: "With the Torch Church's fierce attack, they finally destroyed the headquarters of the largest heretical organization—the Blood of the Nurture sect—and successfully captured the sect's leader, Rand."
"But just as Rand's execution was about to begin, this most evil heretic leader in the world suddenly disappeared."
Thus, this announcement became a warrant for the arrest of all mankind.
Rand looked at the wanted poster that had been issued to him, gave a dry laugh, and subtly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
So the original owner was actually such a powerful cult leader? What am I supposed to do then?!
Things have come to this point, it's time to give up.
He was originally just an agricultural university student, with no memory of this body, only knowing a name and being able to understand the language of this world.
According to his plan, after sending these vicious cultists to see the Mother Goddess, he could find an opportunity to slip away and then make a name for himself by relying on his grasp of world affairs.
This is their second setback.
Now we have no choice but to return to our hideout and reconsider our strategy.
But on the way back, something even worse happened.
As he was about to return to his hideout, he was blocked by a paladin at a fork in the road.
At the crossroads, a lone paladin stood on the soft earth.
Standing there, it resembles a majestic mountain peak.
The armor, made of an unknown material, was covered with intricate patterns, and a large ruby was inlaid on the helmet, resembling a blazing flame.
Behind this heavily armored knight was a similarly heavily armed warhorse, armed to the teeth.
