Chapter 249: Four People
It was clear that ‘Mei’ severely lacked trust in Karl, even though the two had signed a temporary contract.
Karl hadn’t expected this.
This timid Divine Messenger, ‘Mei’, was actually not a Lower Follower, but a Middle Follower.
She even possessed the strength of the early Second Order.
Given the world’s rules suppressing strength, with ‘Mei’s cultivation, there was actually nothing to fear.
Hiding in a small mountain village to spread faith only showed that she was naturally timid and didn’t dare to compete with others.
If Karl hadn’t forced her and wanted to expand his followers, she probably wouldn’t have shown her face.
The dozens of people from the small mountain village boarded the airship, plunged into the rain, and flew towards Death City.
“Are there really hundreds of thousands of people without faith?”
‘Mei’ stood on the deck of the airship, shoulder to shoulder with Karl, and said excitedly:
“If I can get hundreds of thousands of people to believe in the God of Light, the main god will definitely grant me the authority of an Upper Follower.”
“Then when I return to the Divine Realm, I will have more autonomy.”
“Rest assured,” Karl said,
“There might not be hundreds of thousands, but there will definitely be tens of thousands, but is there unfairness even in the Divine Realm?”
“No!” ‘Mei’s expression changed slightly, and she shook her head hastily:
“God is just and selfless, it’s just that the angels below haven’t completely eliminated the desires of mortals, so they are inevitably impure.”
“Heh…” Karl chuckled softly.
Although the other party denied it quickly, it was easy to guess that the angels in the Divine Realm were not much different from mortals.
They also had their own schemes and traded favors.
“Mei.”
Karl asked,
“How many deities from your world sent Followers here this time, and how many of them are God’s Children?”
“As far as I know, most of the deities sent Followers, some more, some less,” Mei said,
“As for God’s Children…”
“Those beings can actually refuse the deities’ orders, so not many would be willing to come.”
“The only two I know of are Hades, the God’s Child of Death, and Guto, the God’s Child of Earth.”
Karl nodded slowly, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart.
Even if ‘Mei’ didn’t know everything, it was clear that there were very few God’s Children who had come down.
And they were scattered across such a large world, so the chances of encountering them were even smaller, so there was no need to worry too much.
As long as he didn’t encounter a God’s Child, with his strength and methods, even if he couldn’t win, he would still be able to escape.
“Besides the deities from our world, some Outer Evil Gods have also sent Followers here,”
‘Mei’ continued:
“Like the Dragon Blight that spreads the bloodline of evil dragons, the Mother of Emptiness who hides in the void, and some powerful rulers from the Abyss and Hell…”
“They are only interested in obtaining the world’s source, and they won’t expand their faith or protect the common people.”
“Hmm.” Karl nodded, remembering a special Follower he had encountered before, and asked:
“Do you know of a deity related to ‘technology’, who calls himself the Creator and can create mechanical puppets?”
“The Creator?” ‘Mei’s expression changed slightly:
“I know of him.”
“He is a world-level main god, extremely powerful. In our world, he also has followers who open companies and develop technology in the mortal world, attracting the faith of the common people with things that satisfy their desires.”
“His Followers are mostly very powerful, especially skilled in combat, so you must be careful if you encounter them.”
Karl’s expression became serious.
World-level?
Only one world-level deity, also known as a main god, can be born in one world, and their rank is Seventh Order.
Lower gods are Fourth Order, Middle gods are Fifth Order, and Upper gods are Sixth Order.
Main gods are Seventh Order!
In reality, most worlds do not have Seventh Order main gods, or if they do, they are incomplete, because other deities have divided their authority.
Only when a world has only one deity can it be considered a true main god, that is, world-level.
Steadying his mind, Karl pointed ahead:
“We’re here!”
‘Mei’ looked quickly, and when she saw the city in the rain, and sensed the dense aura of mortals, a look of wild joy appeared on her face.
It’s real!
There really were more than ten thousand people without faith waiting for her to spread the light of God!
For the people of Death City, although the Followers of God were also not very reliable, they were definitely stronger than Mevia.
In order to spread faith, the Followers of God would definitely do all kinds of good deeds to gain the trust of others.
Mevia…
She had always used forceful suppression!

The reality proved that everything was not as good as ‘Mei’ had imagined, someone was competing with her for the faith of tens of thousands of people.
“Let me introduce you,”
Mevia gestured:
“This is ‘Night Owl’, a Follower of Death. I have agreed to let him spread his faith in Death City.”
Night Owl was a gaunt middle-aged man, and when he heard this, he forced a stiff smile.
***
But when he saw ‘Mei’, his expression immediately turned cold.
“No matter what conflicts you had before, we are now partners, so we should discuss things,” Mevia said,
“If I find out that you are doing anything behind my back, don’t blame me for driving you away!”
“Yes,” Night Owl seemed to be somewhat afraid of Mevia, bowing and replying,
“Your Highness allowing me to spread the light of God is already more than I could ask for, I wouldn’t dare to have too many demands.”
‘Mei’ also nodded in agreement.
Her expression was a bit nervous, and there was some worry in her heart.
If it were in a peaceful era, the light of the God of Light would be easier to illuminate mortals.
But now…
The idea of ‘only death can redeem everything’ was obviously easier to accept than ‘walking towards the light’.
Moreover, this city was called Death City, so the people would have a natural inclination towards the ‘God of Death’.
Don’t be afraid!
‘Mei’ encouraged herself in her heart.
This is a test from God, I will definitely overcome the difficulties and let the light of God shine even further.
“You two,”
Mevia clapped her hands and said with a smile,
“I have already agreed to let you spread your faith in Death City, so you should also help me with my work.”
Both of their expressions became serious.
“Someone!”
Mevia beckoned,
“Bring up those two patients.”
“Yes!”
The knights outside the door responded, and soon two large iron cages wrapped in black cloth were carried into the hall.
The servants who carried the iron cages looked terrified, and after Mevia told them to leave, they hurriedly ran out.
“Swish…”
The black cloth was pulled away, revealing the contents of the iron cages.
Inside were two patients, covered in sores, with sharp blades growing from their fingers and toes.
“This is…”
Night Owl took a step forward, frowning:
“Dragon Blight contamination!”
“Yes,” ‘Mei’ said with a serious expression:
“The Followers of the Dragon Blight will spread the ‘Dragon Bloodline’ all over the world, and once infected, one will evolve into a dragon.”
“The key is that the ‘dragons’ that are transformed will lose their original rationality and become sources of contamination that only know how to kill and spread the Dragon Blight.”
“You two,” Mevia said,
“How can we solve this?”
“This…” ‘Mei’ thought for a moment and said,
“I have a way to reverse the changes in their bodies, but without eliminating the Dragon Blight contamination, this kind of thing cannot be stopped.”
“That’s right,” Night Owl nodded,
“If you want to eliminate the contamination, you can only kill the source of the contamination, which is the Dragon Blight Follower who is spreading it.”
“So…” Mevia understood:
“So if you can’t kill that Dragon Blight Follower, you won’t be able to spread your faith in peace?”
Night Owl and ‘Mei’ exchanged a look, and slowly nodded, a sense of shared purpose arising between them.
“That’s right!”
“As far as I know, the Dragon Blight has already formed an alliance with the Follower of the God of Water and Marshes,” Mevia pointed at the rain outside and said:
“This rain is mixed with the Dragon Blight contamination, which is why such cases have appeared in the city.”
Night Owl and ‘Mei’ suddenly understood.
“I can dispel the rain,”
‘Mei’ volunteered:
“Although I can’t affect such a large area, I can guarantee that there won’t be any problems near Death City.”
She was a Follower of the God of Light, possessing the authority of the scorching sun, and could restrain the God of Water and Marshes.
In fact.
No matter which world, those who can control light are all upper gods, and the best among them.
“Good!”
Mevia nodded:
“However, stopping the rain is only a temporary solution, we still need to eliminate the source.”
“In a few days, the Follower of the God of Water and Marshes will go to Marsh City. At that time, we will act in the city and kill him. Without the help of the Follower of the God of Water and Marshes, it will be easy for the four of us to deal with the Dragon Blight Follower.”
