#318 - Chapter 318: Prohibited Preaching
“The Abyss Cult?”
The moment Titus heard this name, he immediately thought of Wu Wei, the bizarre and mad human lord.
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the Abyss, nor could he understand what the true Abyss was, he was still very firmly convinced.
This so-called Abyss Cult was definitely Wu Wei's doing!
However, even so, Titus still cautiously asked the dwarf in front of him.
“Can you be sure of the source of this so-called Abyss Cult?”
“I mean... is there a possibility that this Abyss Cult originated from within our own alien races?”
Titus and the others were prisoners of the Human Empire, and the number of races they included could be described as diverse.
With such a complex mix of races, there were bound to be all sorts of "heretical cults" among them.
Of course, the rampant spread of cults was directly related to the Human Empire's harsh suppression of them.
“Absolutely not.”
The dwarf, whose face was missing a small part, shook his head.
“Because these people all claim that they were inspired by the Abyss to commit such terrifying acts.”
“The original source of the preaching can no longer be found.”
“And, Titus, you didn't see the scene at the time.”
“I'm not exaggerating when I say.”
“The group of people who believe in the Abyss Cult are completely insane!”
“They are bloodthirsty, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and use the most terrible means to desecrate all life.”
“Although we once vowed to do our best to retaliate against the Human Empire, what they have done is still too much.”
“And more importantly.”
“The number of people among us who have converted to the Abyss Cult is also increasing.”
“Their speed of spreading is comparable to a plague.”
Hearing the dwarf say this.
A shadow appeared on Titus's face.
He also knew that the other party was definitely not alarmist.
But he still didn't understand, what benefits would joining this Abyss Cult bring to these alien races?
Because they could neither benefit from this slaughter, nor escape their miserable fate, nor get rid of the Empire's pursuit.
Why did they join the Abyss Cult?
Faced with the question from the ogre Titus, the dwarf's eyes flickered.
Then, he answered Titus's question.
“Because...”
“These people heard that as long as they become a member of the Abyss Cult, they will have a chance to survive.”
“Survive the Empire's encirclement and suppression!”
“And the price they have to pay is only to become a subordinate of a certain human lord again.”
“What did you say?”
The muscles on Titus's face twitched wildly.
“These damned bastards!”
“Have a few short days made them forget the terror of the Empire and the evil of humans?”
“Stop them!”
“Stop the spread of that Abyss Cult at all costs!”
“This kind of thinking must be forbidden!”
Titus roared, and the wound on his body that had almost healed bled again.
“Understood, I will try my best to prohibit their spread.”
“But before that, Lord Titus, I would like to ask you a few questions.”
“What questions?”
“I want to know one thing.”
The dwarf, whose face was missing a small part, raised his head and looked at the ogre in front of him.
“That is, as the group of insane Abyss Cultists said, does our revenge really have any meaning?”
“And are the things we are doing really just for the sake of dying generously?”
In a trance, the ogre Titus felt.
That his short companion in front of him seemed a little strange.....
——————————
A corner of the battlefield.
“Great Abyss, I am willing...”
A Norse warrior holding a dagger turned his head and glanced at the Minotaur warrior next to him, signaling to the other party.
Obviously, he forgot his lines.
The Minotaur warrior glanced at the Norse warrior and whispered a reminder.
“I am willing to use the most cruel atrocities and terror in this world to please the supreme you.”
“And my soul is also willing to belong to you!”
After speaking, the Norse warrior stabbed the abdomen of the Imperial warrior in front of him with the dagger in his hand.
The poor Imperial warrior quickly trembled in a burst of severe pain, and if his mouth had not been blocked by a rag, it is estimated that his screams would have resounded throughout the sky.
And his abdomen also turned into a blood-red color because of the blood's permeation.
However, this was just the beginning.
“More!”
The Minotaur warrior said in a low voice, urging the Norse warrior.
The Norse warrior gritted his teeth and twisted the dagger in his hand in the Imperial warrior's abdominal cavity.
“Ooh, ooh, ooh!”
Such a brutal act immediately caused the Imperial warrior to howl in pain, and with a burst of trembling, he directly lost control of his bowels in public.
This wasn't the end.
“More!”
The Minotaur warrior turned his head, stared at the Norse warrior, and signaled him to increase his efforts.
Things were as he said.
More and more cruel executions appeared on this Imperial warrior.
“More!”“More!”“More!”
This was a ritual that desecrated life, and it was also the most cruel ritual.
But in reality, it was a ritual to join the Abyss Cult.
On this battlefield where the great war had just ended, similar rituals were everywhere.
As long as the alien races had Imperial prisoners, they would basically use such rituals to let themselves “join” the Abyss Cult.
However, just as this group of newcomers successively completed the joining ceremony.
On the other end of the battlefield, hundreds of alien warriors with ugly faces walked over one after another.
“Stop!”“Stop it all!”
These alien warriors shouted while using their actual actions to organize the progress of these rituals.
Of course, their method of stopping this ritual was also very simple.
They personally took action to let this group of Imperial warriors get relief.
Relief in the physical sense.
“Lord Titus has issued an order!”
“From this moment on.”
“We, this group of compatriots who have suffered the Empire's atrocities, must not join the Abyss Cult in any way!”
“Those who have already joined the Abyss Cult must not carry out new evangelism!”
“In short, the Abyss Cult and everything within the cult have been listed as prohibited matters by Lord Titus!”
These warriors who stopped the ritual shouted with the loudest voices they could make from this battlefield that had already entered the cleaning stage.
However.
Contrary to their expectations.
What responded to them was not any words or curses, but pair after pair of bloodshot eyes existing in the silence.
And that Minotaur warrior even showed a sneer.
