Chapter 541 - 484 The Gods Are Watching You
Amberser reported to the God of Alchemy about his decision to unleash Benboerba and Baboerben, two Koutoa Murlocs. He summarized, "I originally just wanted to put a little pressure on the Koutao Mermaid Goddess and weaken her divine power."
"Then you have been extremely successful. The Koutoa Murlocs should be rebelling on a large scale," was the response.
The God of Alchemy fiddled with the bone whistle that Amberser had given him; even He hadn’t anticipated such a pronounced effect from a small whistle. In dealing with the Mentally Ill Goddess, the God of Alchemy had also been busy, constantly looking for ways to gather intelligence.
That’s why He was the first to learn about the disturbances in the Water Elemental Plane. The Koutao Mermaid Goddess must be going mad, leading to much dissatisfaction amongst the Ocean Deity Faction. They had not been fond of this Mentally Ill Goddess to begin with, merely tolerating Her presence. Now, however, even the Gods of the Ocean Deity Faction were no longer willing to ally with this mad deity.
After giving it some thought, Amberser said, "I reckon there are two reasons. The first is that the bone whistle spreads influence through sound and can affect a vast number of Koutoa Murlocs at once. The second reason is that the Goddess, thinking herself clever, had previously controlled a large number of Koutoa Murlocs to convey twisted beliefs to Aige."
The primary reason was the second point.
Amberser didn’t know how many Koutoa Murlocs the Mentally Ill Goddess had initially used to transmit beliefs, but it was surely a very high proportion.
This meant that a great number of Koutoa Murlocs received Aige’s reversed divine messages, planting the concept of freedom deep within their souls. Thus, these freedom-seeking Murlocs would immediately betray the Mentally Ill Goddess upon regaining their sanity.
If it weren’t for this act of self-destruction, at worst, a large number of the Koutoa Murlocs would have ended up as depressives, which might have even strengthened the divine position of spiritual madness of the Mentally Ill Goddess.
The God of Alchemy couldn’t help but comment on the irony: "Fate’s design is indeed mysterious; it seems that we can hasten our plans."
