Chapter 584: God, Truly Exists_1

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: God, Truly Exists_1Song Lan did remember Yeying mentioning that in the doctrine of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, they believed strong faith could endow them with power from the "Father God’s" commandments.

And reality had indeed proven this point.

From a statistical point of view, as long as you believed in the Moon God and became a Believer of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, there was a one-in-three chance of becoming a Psychic.

If this data were made public within the territory of the United Government, Song Lan had no doubt that more than half of the people living at the bottom would become the most devout Believers of the Moon God.

But the consequences were also obvious.

The war last night had shown the side effects of this Psychic parasitism: at any necessary moment, they could be influenced by the "Father God’s" consciousness and mutate into irrational Mutants in a short time.

The sudden plague of mutations made Song Lan believe the assertions of the Third Legion’s commander, but on the path of "dehumanization," the Barrosa Group was no less intense than the Believers of the Lunar Eclipse Sect; according to Lu Xiang’s autopsy results, even the most common genetically-modified soldiers had been implanted with two hearts, and all organs were almost completely replaced. To better adapt to the exoskeleton armor, their physiques deviated from ordinary people, and it was hard to categorize them as normal humans anymore.

But then, he thought of the growing Bug Swarm.

As it turned out, neither of the three brothers had the grounds to mock the other—their main forces were unlikely to find a unit comprised entirely of "pureblood" humans.

Song Lan felt that in this world currently dominated by humans, discussing the concept of "pureblood" humans seemed somewhat premature.

"Implanting consciousness in human bodies to grant them powers akin to Psychic Abilities is something beyond human capabilities, making us realize that perhaps ’God’ truly exists."

This was also why the Barrosa Group decided to put aside past grievances with District 17 and Lu Xiang, to cooperate fully; because more critical issues faced them than personal vendettas or partial power losses.

All the signs they had re

But they couldn’t stop.

Because the Devourers evolved too quickly; each day they rested on their legion’s flagship, somewhere in the world a Mutant army ruled by Devourers might emerge.

"According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, the three most powerful branches of the Devourers are now inside the Third Neutral Country."

"So you want to join forces with us to take out Helifis first?"

"No, Helifis is just the spokesperson for that consciousness. What should be eradicated is the source of all Devourers. We have a feeling that in the end of this ritual, we will see its true form."

At this point, the Third Legion’s commander’s gaze was intense, and his displayed mettle even made Song Lan admire, "The significance of this strategic alliance is that, whether it’s us or you who ultimately win this ritual, we must not forget the real enemy, nor submit to its will."

This ritual, driving the evolution of all life, might not necessarily be good for humanity itself.

Even if humans managed to survive this evolutionary process, they would likely evolve into some other life form.

That is why the ultimate victor must not be Helifis, who had already submitted to the "Father God’s" will; and they had good reason to believe that the current Helifis might have become an unprecedentedly formidable enemy under the influence of this will and power.

Occupying Antigon was just the beginning of the ritual.

A more perilous battle awaited them ahead.

"This war is also closely related to you; if you don’t want your leader to become a puppet of some unknown will, convey what I’ve said to Lu Xiang exactly as it is," said the Third Legion’s commander. "God might indeed exist, but it certainly doesn’t love any of us."
