A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 272: Flashback Room – Cultist Defeated (1)

A Shinigami is a being different from the true gods worshiped by the priests of this world, and is a being who aspires to become a true god by acquiring divinity through the worship of mortals.

Although they are the same as immortals, they differ in various aspects such as power and way of existence.

For example, when using the power, various preparations are required and conditions are attached.

Taking Driftert\'s power as an example, Driftert can trap the opponent in an endless dream world, but this power has many requirements and conditions.

First, a part of yourself, whether the original body or an incarnation, must appear on earth.

At this point, offerings of enormous quantity and quality are already needed.

Since the Driftert\'s power is focused on the world of dreams rather than reality, the amount of sacrifice required is less, but it is not uncommon for the sacrifices of some Shinigami that can affect reality to be truly beyond imagination.

And after appearing through a sacrifice, various conditions are attached to the power used.

Just as even if you fall under the power of Drifter, you can escape by finding and pointing out strange parts in the dream, there is a strong but clear law of destruction.

In that sense, the Shinigami is not a god but closer to a kind of boss.

Because a true god can change the data values ??inside the game.

The power of the Shinigami, which requires a lot of effort to be summoned and entered into the prayer meta to avoid being destroyed even after the power is revealed, and the power of God, which requires simply entering \'Status Abnormality: Sleep\' and setting the duration to close to infinite. It\'s almost a shame to compare.

Despite the differences in abilities, there are people who worship the Shinigami and offer sacrifices to them. It is because the Shinigami has a desire to become a true god.

If you have a desire, just offer an offering and the corresponding power will be granted.

On the other hand, because God is perfect, he is cold to his believers.

The divine power bestowed on priests by the gods of the church is like a kind of mercy, and is not received in return for faith.

If I dig into this part, I could talk about it all day, so let\'s skip it here.

So, the reason why I told this story is that the Shinigami clearly wants something, so he responds to the call of the cultist.

And what Drippert wanted was the vitality of living things.

Because they sacrificed their lives force as a sacrifice to summon the Avatar, dozens of cultists lost consciousness all at once, and if those who were struck by the power cannot escape the power, their life force will be stolen.

However, the extortion of vitality takes place over a very long period of time.

Enough to wake up all the cultists who lost their minds as a result of the Avatar Summoning Ritual.

◆

"Uh, uh... "

The altar of the Four Gods hidden in the deep forest, a man stood up on another altar prepared in the basement.

Even though I had just come to my senses after lying down for so long, my whole body felt heavy as if it was the day after a night\'s sleep.

He woke up because his life force, which had been stolen by the ritual, had barely recovered enough to come to his senses, but it had not yet recovered enough to control his body.

"Are you awake? "Bishop."

While the man was still holding his dizzy head, a man who had come to his senses before him spoke to him.

As they were called bishops, they were members of the cult.

The man who had just woken up asked back what another cult member had said.

"Bishop? Me?"

"Yes."

"Is it... "

What that meant was clear.

The man was originally the second-in-command in the cult, and the fact that he was called a bishop meant that the existing bishop, who had previously been the first-in-command, had lost his life.

When I looked at the place pointed to by another cultist, there were three intruders lying on the ground and a handful of ashes piled up in front of them.

Long enough time had passed that the body of the incarnation they had summoned by sacrificing their lives force crumbled to ashes.

The person who volunteered to provide the body of the Avatar was the representative of the cult, the former bishop, so the fact that the body of the Avatar was reduced to ashes meant that the former bishop was no longer alive.

The man, who had previously been a vice-bishop of the cult and is now a bishop, bowed his head.

At first glance, it seemed like he was mourning the death of the former bishop he had followed before.

However, the man\'s expression showed a completely different emotion.

It was a complex expression of emotion, jealousy, envy, and hope.

The excitement that their consciousness was recognized by Drippert, the god they worshiped, the jealousy and envy of the former bishop who alone accepted God into his body, and the hope that they too could one day become one with God.

In reality, they just had their life force stolen by the Drifters, but for them, who were cultists and fanatics, even having their life force taken away was just a process of becoming one with God.

After a moment of silence full of emotions, he spoke for the first time as a new bishop.

"What is the damage?"

"There are eight dead and twenty-six injured, including minor and serious injuries. Additionally, those who complain of headaches or fatigue... "

"Done. "You don\'t have to report that."

What was offered as a sacrifice was not life, but life force. It was also controlled just enough to cause unconsciousness rather than death.

Being able to become one with God was the ultimate happiness, but we still need people to serve Him.

Nevertheless, the reason why there were dead or injured people was because the place where the ritual was performed was on a high altar.

All the deceased lost consciousness and fell down the stairs, breaking their heads.

The same goes for the injured. The number of cultists defeated by the invaders was actually small.

Headache or fatigue...

"There are many people who lack faith."

You may feel tired. Right now, even the bishop is losing all strength in his body.

However, the fact that he was not happy that he was able to offer at least part of his life force to God and complained about it as an \'inconvenience\' can only be described as a lack of faith.

At least that was the case in the bishop\'s eyes.

However, the bishop decided to be lenient.

He must have been like that when he was an ordinary Christian.

I don\'t remember very well, but I think it was like that. Even if he tried to remember, he could only remember the rough details, not the details.

It was as if someone had implanted memories into the person who emerged one day, saying, \'This is your past.\'

"... Her. Since my body has no energy, all kinds of thoughts come to mind."

The leader let out a small sigh. With a sigh, he let go of the random thoughts that came to his mind.

Because right now, I have things to do before such useless thoughts.

"What is the status of the intruders? No, there is nothing to say."

"Yes. "Everyone is not waking up."

The three intruders who were struck by Drippert\'s power could not wake up.

Even though enough time had passed for the incarnation\'s body to turn into ashes and disappear, it did not wake up.

In a dream, time passes tens or hundreds of times as much as in reality.

Even as a bishop, he couldn\'t imagine how many years would have passed in the dreams of those intruders until they, the cultists, woke up.

Perhaps in a dream, he may have already met his lover, seen her children and grandchildren, and lived a happy life before dying. Or maybe he\'s still enjoying life.

It could be said to be a happy death that is unbecoming of the words of intruders who dared to attack God\'s altar with earthen feet.

Still, that was also the power of their god. If God wants it to happen, the role of the believer is to support it.

"Where are you injured?"

The religious leader repeatedly asked about the status of the intruders.

Of course, it wasn\'t because I was worried about intruders or anything like that. This was because, depending on the injured area, vitality may temporarily decrease.

All the life force of the invaders must be sacrificed to the Drippert they serve. The religious leader repeatedly asked in that sense.

The cult leader was relieved when he heard that one of the cult members showed no special injuries.

"That\'s it. Do what you normally do."

"Yes! "I\'ll do it as usual!"

When the cult leader\'s permission was given, the cult member quickly dragged the three intruders and disappeared into a dark place.

He didn\'t even need to ask where he was going.

Because the pants of the cult members dragging the intruder were bulging.

It was surprising what they would do to the three unconscious beautiful girls.

However, the religious leader did not specifically stop them.

He knew that he could raise the morale of the cult members through such base acts, and above all, doing such things did not diminish his value as a sacrifice.

What the Drifter requires is life force, and since it is already under the power, all you have to do is wait and the extortion of life force will continue.

In other words, it doesn\'t matter what you do as long as the sacrifice doesn\'t die.

If the sacrifice was male, it was sometimes left on the floor or used as a living dildo for female cult members. If the sacrifice was female, as is the case now, it was used as a meat toilet.

You become a plaything of a cult until your vitality runs out.

How the humiliation was carried out was different each time.

What will this offer look like?

The thought that briefly appeared in the leader\'s head quickly disappeared.

There were many other things to take care of.
