The mysterious secret power is like boiling water, gurgling with bubbles.

Even the air trembles, emitting hot and invisible heat.

This heat does not come from matter, but can only be sensed by the soul.

The complex lines that are like all things in the world spread quietly as the secret power spreads, presenting a beauty that is difficult to describe in language.

The lines, together with the tentacles, become the link between the great existence of happiness and the unknown, transmitting taboo knowledge, filthy reason and gifts.

When the heat subsided like a tide, Anle saw the words flashing in front of her eyes.

【Defiled and rational 76!】

‘Hmm? That’s all?’

Before Anle felt dissatisfied with his stinginess, another thing was finally instilled into his body.

That is a...a gift that is unique!

[Dark level gift: The shell of the fake believer!]

[The remaining shell of the fake believer "Putitolayanai".]

[In legend, only one person can be called "Pseudo-believers", that is Putitorayana.]

[He once believed in glory, worshipped the fog, and explored the deep sea and went deep into the mountains... He believed in their existence devoutly, whether good or evil, strong or weak, and even held bishops in various churches.]

[The purity of his faith touched many gods, so he gave up his gifts to echo.]

【However, the beliefs of false believers are hypocritical from the beginning.】

[His beliefs are all exquisite scams from beginning to end.]

[And the most clever liar is to even deceive himself.]

[He deceived many gods of gifts and power, and eventually died under a curse, but his name was also remembered by the world and the gods.]

[Some people also say that the false believers did not die at all, but just took off the shell of mortals and became a member of the gods.]

[Now, his shell is here.]

[Dressed in the shell of a fake believer, you are the most devout believer in the eyes of any god.]

【But be careful, no matter how strong the shell is, it will be broken one day.】

This passage of knowledge about gifts is rare and long, but Happy patiently read it quickly.

‘This is… licking one person for a dog, licking ten thousand people for a wolf?’

‘Or, as long as I lick enough, are you all fish in my fish pond?’

Anle quickly put aside this strange thought and thought: ‘Pititolayanai? I always feel that this name sounds familiar.’

‘After that being said…shell?’

The term "shell" always has an indescribable weirdness and mystery.

On the one hand, shells symbolize armor and protection, like some molluscs, they cannot survive without shells, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

But on the other hand, the shell seems to never belong to a part of the body, but an external thing.

The two are two separate beings.

And, inexplicably, I feel... a little heavy?

It's like carrying something on your body.

‘What would the so-called [the shell of the fake believer] look like?’

Just when this thought emerged from Anle, he suddenly felt that there was an invisible and intangible substance covering his body.

It looks like a film that adheres to the skin and then penetrates inward.

Entering muscles, bones, blood... and even the depths of the body - the soul!

This is completely different from the rough invasion of the strange stone, as if moistening things silently as spring rain.

It gives you a feeling that it should belong to you?

It was just right on the surface of his soul, like a shirt with a perfect size, which was extremely suitable.

It is well deserved - shell!

After putting on this layer of shell, several blurry lights and shadows suddenly flashed in front of Anle's eyes.

There is the dazzling sun in the sky, the fog that can never be seen, and the countless tentacles that appear hidden under the deep sea...

Each light and shadow reveals an indescribable great aura, just like a glimmer of light coming from across the other side of the galaxy across countless light years. Perhaps the stars radiate light have long been extinguished, but the remaining light still has the power to transcend time.

For mortals, they will go crazy by just looking at them.

Anle does not have such troubles, but if you watch it for too long, you will always feel a little uncomfortable.

But now it's different!

Anle could not detect any hostility from those lights and shadows, but was filled with peace and gentleness.

The only thing that is a little special is that fog, which seems...who wants to eat him even more?

If Anle wanted to, he could even initiate an invitation to exchange light and shadow?

Of course, such thoughts, happiness just flashed through my mind.

If you really try it, something bad may happen.

‘Is this a “benefit” for devout believers?’

Anle almost understood the status quo.

As for his personal cognition, in the eyes of the gods, believers should be no different from lambs. Apart from cutting hair and producing milk, they even have to eat meat!

But if those obedient lambs show a cruel butcher look, they might be scared away.

In order to make the obedient Lamb more obedient, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, their image will become amiable in the eyes of believers.

This will make it easier to manage the sheep.

——Some evil gods are naturally not in this ranks.

There is no doubt that Anle can enjoy this "benefit" because of the existence of [the shell of the false believer].

In the eyes of the gods, happiness seems to be their most devout believer.

‘In other words, in the future…I can penetrate into the various churches?’

Anle's eyes lit up instantly.

He has always been troubled by how to poach people from other sects to strengthen his company.

And he can't be an ordinary believer, but also an elite talent.

Ordinary believers have limited knowledge of taboos within the sect and are prone to overlapping situations. Nowadays, peace is no longer worthy of.

Taking the elite route is a wise move.

If you are a stranger who has never been masked, you will definitely be very alert when getting along.

But if you show the same beliefs, the distance between people will naturally be closer.

If you are both devout believers, beware of further relaxation.

That is a good opportunity for Anle to take the opportunity to take action!

Thinking of this, Anle's spirit was a little excited.

However, now is not the time to poach.

After calming down, An Le read the "History of the Stones" again as usual and picked up the forgotten knowledge again.

At this time, a knock came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

Shi Yi poked a small head out of the crack of the door and said with a smile: "Doctor, it's time to have a meal."

*******

When I went out and saw Anle found that the inside of the stone clan was unexpectedly lively.

Several chariots were spliced ​​together to form a wide platform.

The ground is very flat and smooth, emitting a silver-gray light, dispelling the darkness that is about to come to night, as beautiful as the stars in the sky or the legendary night pearl.

Several tall fortresses were used to move to the periphery of the platform and were guarded by a small number of tribe members.

The stone man set up tables and chairs, and in the kitchen, dishes were preparing enthusiastically, wafting out an attractive fragrance.

As Shi Yi said, this is the Shi tribe holding a celebration banquet.

In the previous battle with the Alien Stone Worm Tide, they confiscated a lot of spoils and there were no casualties. This is something that needs to be celebrated for the Stone people. In fact, after each Alien Stone Worm Tide, there will be such a banquet to dispel fear and inspire people.

The whole scene is extremely magnificent, but full of weird and inconsistent sense of technology.

It's like a scene that only appears in a parallel world.
