Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

He threw himself desperately and narrowly avoided the Cyclops's huge fist.

"Wow~" Katie spat out blood after being hit, and then struggled to stand up and continue fighting.

"Alright! Stop it!" Lind shouted at the scene. "Stop it!"

"No!" Katie pushed Lind away stubbornly. "You can't stop!"

"Why!" Linde's eyes widened.

"Because he's Grandpa Sal!" Katie replied, her tone firm.

"Who is that!?" Linde was stunned.

"He's the shaman of our tribe!" Katie said anxiously.

When Linde heard this, he immediately understood.

While chatting with the two Tauren sisters, Linde also learned a lot of details about their lives, including the shaman of the Thunder Tribe. According to the Tauren sisters, the shaman of the Thunder Tribe, in addition to being in charge of tribal sacrificial activities, is also responsible for educating the young people of the tribe. In the minds of the two sisters, he is like a grandfather.

Then this Cyclops was transformed from their grandfather?

This makes sense, why Katie was so excited, and why Kitama came here without caring about her own safety.

The Cyclops attacked again, and Katie wanted to fight back head-on, but Lind hugged Katie from behind and pulled her back hard, and once again dodged the Cyclops' attack by a hair's breadth.

(Mother Earth!) Lind screamed at the Mother Earth in his heart. (Does your ability to transform Chaos Beastmen also work on Cyclops?!)

(Of course it works, but...) Mother Earth quickly replied, but a little hesitantly.

(But what!?)

(I...can't transform this Cyclops)

Chapter 39 The Other Side of the Plague God

"What did you say!?" Lind shouted directly. "You can't transform!?"

(Don’t say it out loud, just communicate with me in your heart.) Mother Earth warned.

When communicating with the Mother Goddess of Earth, you don't need to speak it out loud, you can just say it in your mind. This is not only true for the Mother Goddess of Earth, but also for the limited communication with the God of Evil and the God of Blood. You don't need to say it out loud, just recite it silently in your heart.

But constantly repeating things in your mind is actually somewhat counter-physiological. It is easy for your thoughts to wander uncontrollably, and when you are emotionally excited, you will subconsciously speak out your inner thoughts.

"I can't concentrate on communicating with you now!" Linde directly rejected the request of the Mother Earth.

(…I have been a god for almost five hundred years, and you are the first person to speak to me like this.) The Mother Goddess of Earth was silent for a while, suppressing her anger.

"Stop talking nonsense! What do you mean by it cannot be converted?" Lind asked.

The Cyclops in front of them was transformed from the old shaman of the Thunder Tribe. To Katie and Kitama, this was their beloved grandfather. It was no surprise that the granddaughter went berserk after seeing her grandfather become like this.

Since he is a relative, the best way is of course to subdue him, and then transform him into a new Beast Man like Schnee, but at this time the Mother Earth Goddess said that she could not transform him.

(…Sorry, I can’t answer this question.) Mother Earth refused to answer Linde’s question.

"You!" Linde was speechless with a burst of pride.

Is there something going on? Lind wondered.

The Cyclops was still attacking Katie, and Katie was a little out of control at this time. As if to vent her anger, she confronted the Cyclops head-on.

If this continues, Katie will die, so Lind can only pull Katie as far as possible to let her avoid the Cyclops' attack.

"Let me go! Don't stop me! I want to save my grandpa!" Katie yelled angrily after being knocked to the ground by Linde again, tears already dripping from her eyes.

"How can you save grandpa like this!?" Linde pressed on Katie and looked into her eyes. "Are you saving him or dying?"

"I! I!" Katie was speechless after being choked by Lind. Her brain was simply unable to think about complex problems. Not only because of her stupid brain, but also because of her lack of education.

"Calm down! Listen to my command!" Lin pulled Katie's hand and left the battle. "Ram! Winter! Please buy me some time!"

"Got it!" "Leave it to me!" After hearing this, the two knights immediately rushed forward, replaced Katie's position, and fought with the Cyclops.

"Heal the wound!" After removing Katie from the front line, Alyssa immediately came over and used healing magic on Katie.

Under the effect of magic, Katie's injuries improved a little, the bleeding rate slowed down, and the wounds healed partially.

"Thank you." Katie thanked Alyssa.

"That's all I can do." Alyssa was a little depressed. In this battle, Alyssa played a very small role. Compared with Lind, who was her age, it was completely different.

Alisa decided that after the battle, she would strengthen her practical magic training.

Thinking of this, Elisa looked at Ilufa who was still tied to the pillar. Because the Cyclops refused to leave Ilufa's vicinity, anyone who tried to save Ilufa would be immediately attacked by the Cyclops. The defense was absolutely impenetrable.

But the other enemies have been dealt with, and the next step is to kill the Cyclops.

The problem is that this Cyclops cannot be simply killed, he is Katie and Kitama's grandfather.

"Katie!" Kitama also ran over at this time and looked at Katie with concern.

"Sisters! Are you sure he is your grandfather?" Linde confirmed to the two Minotaur sisters.

"I'm sure of it." Katie struggled to sit up. "The burns on his legs are exactly the same as Grandpa Sal's!"

Although his appearance was unrecognizable, some physical features were retained and not covered up, such as the burn marks on his legs, which were exactly the same as those of Grandpa Sal.

After seeing the familiar burn scar, Katie quickly discovered more similarities, proving that the Cyclops in front of her was the old shaman of the Thunder Tribe, Thrall.

unambiguous evidence.

Tricky.

Since he is an important relative of the two sisters, and I have successfully transformed a Chaos Beastman not long ago, if I put myself in their shoes and say that I can't save your grandfather now, I would go crazy too.

(Mother Earth.) Lind called out to Mother Earth again, his tone much calmer. (Why can't it be transformed? Can you explain it to me?)

(I know you’re listening.) There was no response, but Lind knew she was listening.

(Because the chaos corruption he suffered was too deep.) After a moment, the Mother Goddess of Earth responded.

Linde took a deep breath. He did not accept this panacea explanation.

(Don’t you want to say it?) Linde said in a deep voice. (Then how about I say it for you?)

(…) Mother Earth remained silent.

(Because his faith in you has been shaken, right?) Lind sneered.

(...)

(Although I haven’t fully figured out how you gods give believers power and change their appearance, there is a basic premise, which is that the other party must be willing to believe in you. If they don’t believe, God’s influence on this person will be very limited.)

(I don’t know Mr. Thrall, but since he is an old shaman of the Thunder Tribe, he must be a devout believer of the Earth Mother. Why would a long-time and firm believer suddenly stop believing in his God?)

(From what I understand, there are generally two reasons why a devout believer who has believed for most of his life will change his faith: there are too many other teachings, or...)

(His faith in himself collapsed.)

(Since you said you couldn't convert him back, the answer is obvious.)

(For some reason, his faith in you has collapsed and he will no longer believe in you.)

The Mother Goddess of Earth had been listening quietly without saying a word, but Lind could sense the panic hidden beneath her silence.

(Can you tell me why his faith collapsed?) Lind grinned unconsciously.

(Still not saying anything?) Linde sneered. (Then I'll say it for you.)

(You are actually another god in disguise, right, Mr. Plague God?)

(No!) The Earth Mother Goddess finally stopped being silent and shouted angrily. (I am not a disguise of other gods! I am who I am! The Earth Mother Goddess Amora!)

(Then what is your relationship with the God of Plague?) Lind asked.

(I... am the other side of the Plague God.)

Chapter 40: Mother Earth and the God of Plague

The two knights, Ram and Winter, took over Katie's task and dealt with the Cyclops. But as soon as they fought, the two knights were shocked.

"How did that Minotaur lady hold on for so long!" Winter narrowly escaped an attack from the Cyclops and shouted in shock.

"You don't even look at her level, what level you are!" Ram said with a wry smile. "She is better than both of us put together!"

Katie had been fighting the Cyclops alone until now, and she looked very miserable. The two knights originally thought that although it was impossible to defeat the Cyclops, it would be no problem to hold it up and take a few attacks. However, Winter's shield was only touched once and then shattered.

Originally, the two knights planned that one would distract the Cyclops' attention while the other would take the opportunity to rescue the Countess. However, after actually trying it out, they found that it was impossible.

"Ram! Don't you have a lot of plans? Take them out now!" Winter shouted at Ram.

"The premise of having a plan is to have time to plan! Do you think I have had the opportunity to make a plan since I escaped from Dundalk!?" Ram roared. "Let's just focus on the fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cyclops kicked him again. Ram dodged and swung his sword to hit the Cyclops's instep.

Then the sword broke directly.

"I (Holy Empire curse)!" Ram cursed subconsciously, and then drew out the second sword. Every time he fought, Ram would bring three swords, one for combat, one for backup, and one for backup, and it was not too heavy.

"Mr. Linde! Hurry up! We can't hold on for much longer!" Winter urged Linde.

At this moment, Lind was stripping off the underwear of Mother Earth in his mind.

(Are you the other side of the God of Plague?) Hearing the answer from the Mother Earth, Linde frowned in confusion.

There are many gods in this world. Linde doesn't know how many there are, but there must be a lot. The original owner had heard before that there would be gods pretending to be another god or disguising themselves as other gods. For example, in the Holy Empire, several cults that believed in evil gods were found, pretending to believe in other legitimate gods. In order to identify them, the Holy Empire also set up a special organization, the Inquisition.

Linde had doubts about the identity of the Mother Goddess of Earth since the dream that day. The reason was simple: when the Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of Plague appeared, they were all green.

Linde suspected that the Mother Goddess of Earth might be the God of Plague's alias, but now the Mother Goddess of Earth says that she is the other side of the God of Plague?

What does this mean?

(To put it simply, I share the same origin as the Plague God.) Mother Earth explained. (You know about the great war that lasted nearly five hundred years, right? That’s when I was born.)

(At that time, the Beastmen were all cannon fodder for the Chaos God. Although they believed in Chaos, the Chaos God did not take the Beastmen seriously and did not regard them as his followers.) The Earth Mother continued to explain. (At the beginning, when Chaos had the upper hand, the Beastmen could still get some power from the evil god, but with the establishment of the Order coalition, the situation turned around, and the treatment of the Beastmen became worse and worse.)

(Afterwards, some beastmen with relatively mild personalities who did not like fighting, such as sheep, cows, deer, etc., began to feel dissatisfied with the evil god. After that, I was born.)

(Although the Plague God symbolizes disease and plague, on the other hand, he also represents the endless vitality of life and nature.) The Earth Mother's tone was excited. (I am the positive part.)

(I share the same origin as the Plague God, so I can transform the twisted Chaos Beastmen into new Beastmen that are more in line with nature. As long as they have even a little faith in me, I can snatch them from the hands of Chaos.)

(You mean, you split from the Plague God?) After listening to the confession of the Earth Mother, Linde pondered. (Then this Cyclops is...)

(Yes.) Mother Earth said painfully. (That human told him this, and he thought I had deceived him, that I was the Plague God in disguise, and then I became like this.)

(Haven’t you told your followers about your relationship with the God of Plague?) Linde frowned.

(No.) Mother Earth said helplessly. (This will make the new beastmen more easily influenced by the evil gods and turn them into chaotic beastmen again.)

Well, it was indeed a very troublesome situation, and Linde had a headache. In the case of this Cyclops, his faith collapsed, and he thought that the Earth Mother Goddess he had believed in for most of his life was actually a disguise of the Plague God. It was not surprising that believers would do anything extreme after their faith collapsed.

(Wait, since you never told any of the believers your identity, how did the blue-haired guy know?)

(I don’t know either.) Mother Earth said in confusion. (I have been very careful to keep this secret, and you are the first person to know it.)

Well, when Zexi woke up, there was one more question to ask, which was how did he know about the relationship between the Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of Plague.

Now that we have roughly figured out the situation of Katie and Grandpa Kitama, the next step is to find a way to change him back.

To be honest, Linde felt like he was going to collapse. The current situation was equivalent to issuing a critical illness notice, and the family members were advised to give up treatment and be discharged from the hospital.

To bring back a believer whose faith has collapsed, even Lind, who is not a believer, knows that this is an almost impossible task.

But he had to do it, because he was the grandfather of Katie and Kitama who saved him.

"What do you think? Is there any solution?" When Kitama saw Linde open his eyes, he knew that he had finished communicating with the Mother Goddess of Earth.

Linde looked at Kitama, whose eyes were full of pleading.

Kitama heard the words "You can't transform!?"
