Chapter 415 - 257: Magrela’s Black Tide Secret Society
When these three items fell into her hands.
At the same time, a stream of black information entered her forehead.
Sharo then seemed to awaken from a dream.
Meanwhile, the surrounding darkness gradually dissipated at this moment.
Only the voice of the Master of the Black Tide echoed in her ears.
"Go, once a defier, become a traveler of the Black Tide..."
"Conceal yourself in the mystical, drag sinners into the abyss of fear..."
"..."
Until the Black Tide in the ritual completely faded away.
Sharo was still standing there dazedly.
"Sharo!"
"Are you okay?"
"Did the prayer ceremony succeed?"
The defiers hurriedly stepped forward, looking at her nervously.
They didn’t know if Sharo had succeeded, fearing that if she turned around now, something strange would happen to her body, and she would be corrupted by evil and lose her life.
Sharo did not respond to them immediately.
She just looked down at the items in her hand, appearing somewhat lost.
It was two books and a mark.
...
Since the war between the Kizi Church and the Natural Church was obliterated by the mysterious existence in the Black Tide.
A new organization appeared on Magrela Island.
They secretly spread their doctrine, worshiping the Dominator within the Black Tide, and accompanying the mysterious.
Unlike the Kizi Church and the Natural Church, their form is free, their management is loose, yet their doctrine is captivating.
The only thing that makes people a bit uneasy... might be the appearance of the object of their faith...
It doesn’t really seem like a benevolent deity...
But even so, it quietly continues to spread in the dark.
In fact, because of Magrela Island’s maritime trade, it has begun to gradually extend to other places.
It is known as——the Black Tide Secret Society.
[Faith Source: Heisatan (your clone)]
[Available: Summoning of Believers, Creation Prayer, Believer Promotion, Performing Miracles...(click to view details)]
[Favored: None]
[Power of Faith: 356]
[Fanatic Believers: 2]
[Devout Believers: 18]
[Believers: 101]
After nearly a month of development.
Heisatan now has over a hundred believers.
Thanks to the defiers for this.
If it wasn’t for them, the spread of faith in the Black Tide Secret Society might have been much slower.
The Power of Faith provided by these believers each week raises Heisatan’s fuel convergence progress by about 1%.
However, Rogel couldn’t possibly use the accumulated Power of Faith to accelerate the fuel convergence progress every day.
After all, the Black Tide Secret Society needs to develop.
He needs to "grant" to these spreaders like Sharo.
[You bestowed the prayer: Dark Concealment on believer Sharo.]
[Remaining Power of Faith: 206]
"Developing a church is truly an art."
Rogel sighed in his heart.
As a spirit of faith, if you want to reap faith, can you just establish a church and then ignore it, leaving everything to the believers?
Impossible.
In this mysterious world, most people join a church to gain new power.
As an existence worshipped by a church, you have to bestow some power.
Prayers, marks, these are all necessities.
If worse comes to worst, doctrines, performing miracles, all are needed.
Or else, believers might think this god has already fallen...
And all these things, the Power of Faith can accomplish.
It’s the "universal currency" in the hands of the gods.
Given this, the problem becomes very practical.
In the early stages, the church is severely lacking in believers; without believers, there’s no "money", and without "money", there’s no way to develop the church.
If you misuse the Power of Faith to enhance yourself at this stage, the church will likely disband.
Therefore, Rogel currently almost never uses the Power of Faith to accelerate fuel convergence.
Instead, he and Heisatan have invested a lot, emptying the Power of Faith every day.
His main body is still fine.
Heisatan is truly being drained.
Ever since it transformed into a spirit of faith, most of its own power can be converted into Power of Faith.
In other words, Body Value, Spiritual Value, Faith Value can all be converted.
In the early stage where consumption is enormous and the Power of Faith provided by believers is insufficient, one can only pay out of pocket and use these to exchange.
And it still seems somewhat stretched thin.
However, fortunately, the most difficult time has been overcome.
Now, Rogel doesn’t need to pay out of pocket most of the time.
Fortunately, although much has been paid.
Rogel has also gained considerable harvests.
[Descent: Believers can pray and consume Power of Faith to seek your intercession, and you can choose to respond, descending as an avatar or in true form. (The stronger you are, the more Power of Faith is consumed)]
[Inference: By consuming Power of Faith, you can make inferences about a matter; the more important the matter, the more Power of Faith is consumed, potentially leading to backlash.]
[Grant Power: Respond to believers’ prayers, granting them power.]
With enough Power of Faith, the spirit of faith can achieve many things.
However, as of now, the most practical abilities for Rogel are these three.
[Descent] will consume a lot of Power of Faith.
But for Heisatan, who is currently only at the Deputy Tier, the cost is still bearable.
It’s akin to long-distance teleportation.
Secondly, there’s [Inference] and [Grant Power].
The former, though not as good as precognition, has its uses.
As for the latter...
"I never imagined I could use Heisatan’s power in this way for the main body."
Rogel couldn’t help but let his lips curl up.
In his hand, a black mark enveloped by dark tentacles lay quietly.
[Black Tide Mark]
[Type: Weapon·Apostle]
[Quality: Purple]
[Attack Power: 1/40]
[Special Effect: Enhances the effect of the Black Tide prayers you perform.]
[Negative Effect: Each time you use Black Tide prayers, your heart accumulates fear.]
[Explanation: Black Tide Secret Society, an underground secret society worshipping the Master of the Black Tide. Although it hasn’t caused calamity, even hearing its name makes people involuntarily feel a slight fear.]
Although Rogel himself cannot provide devout faith to "himself."
He can use the Black Tide Mark he created to pray to himself.
Then manipulate Heisatan to respond to the prayers and release them.
Moreover, since he is Heisatan, he doesn’t need much Power of Faith to respond to prayers.
However, though Heisatan suffers, it’s still him paying the cost.
"What’s your deal, little clone, really?"
"I’ve never seen anything like this..."
The Diving Dragon couldn’t help but lean in to ask.
Rogel didn’t hide his actions from it, so it also knows about recent events.
"Good question, I wish I knew too."
Rogel rolled his eyes.
If only he knew the origin of Hei’s Soul.
He also asked Uvie Muzhe about "Hei."
As expected, it didn’t know either.
"Rogel."
As Rogel was conversing with Heisatan, Lina’s call brought him back to reality.
"The modification of Gelin should be completed today."
They had stayed on Magrela Island for over a month.
During this time, Gelin had been undergoing modifications.
Because this modification was quite extensive, it naturally took a long time.
Rogel nodded.
Then he curiously asked, "Why have you returned early today?"
"The monsters on the Isle of Filth have all been cleared."
Lina said.
During this time, because Rogel was holding back his level, he was free, but Lina and the others were busy.
Rogel always let them kill monsters on the Isle of Filth to level up.
Now it seems, the Isle of Filth’s value should be completely exhausted.
"Then let’s go, check on Gelin and prepare to set off."
Rogel said.
Once everything is ready, they will board Gelin and traverse the Mist Sea Area, heading for... Mire of Decay!
