I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 531 - 310: Ritual Complete, Demigod Ascension

Black Tide Secret Society.

This emerging church in the Sea of Confession has almost become widely known within the Kizi Church Sea Area.

On one hand, they heard rumors about Magrela some time ago.

On the other hand, it benefited from recent rumors spread by unknown sources.

The rumor goes, the Black Tide Secret Society is a church of madmen, extremists, and mentally disturbed individuals, and the people inside are very frightening; it’s best not to associate with them.

Moreover, the Master of the Black Tide whom they believe in is also a terrifying presence.

It is said that even chanting its name silently in one’s mind will attract its attention, then appear at an opportune moment to envelop and devour people with black tides, an extremely dangerous deity...

Most Kizi Church believers naturally wouldn’t believe such claims at first.

After all, they are very aware that the terror of deities is based on strength.

And as loyal believers of the Kizi God, they only see the Kizi God as the strongest being, hence they always sneer at the rumors.

However, this time seemed a bit different.

The Sphincter Region and Carmen Region, which originally belonged to them, were unexpectedly divided by the Church into the Black Tide Secret Society.

The shift of these two large sea areas could not possibly be hidden from the entire church, so many believers learned of this matter.

And surprisingly, the upper echelons of the Kizi Church did not respond reasonably but rather tacitly accepted the actions of the Black Tide Secret Society, and during gatherings informed everyone of an important matter— the Kizi Church has ceased its war with the Black Tide Secret Society!

Once this news was announced, it shocked a significant portion of the Kizi believers.

As known, the Kizi Church in the past did encounter emerging churches.

Most of these emerging churches developed in secret, fearing discovery by the Kizi Church, a gigantic entity, let alone openly opposing it like the Black Tide Secret Society.

And not only is the Black Tide Secret Society, as an emerging church, standing up against the Kizi Church, but now it seems to have succeeded!

The attitude of the Kizi Church already explains everything.

Truce!

Most people understand the principle of not allowing others to snore beside one’s bed.

Why would the Kizi Church give a truce?

The reason is naturally self-evident; the Kizi Church likely cannot rival the Black Tide Secret Society!

This left some Kizi Church believers utterly stunned, and even part of them felt the image of the church in their hearts was collapsing.

But more people were filled with doubt.

What exactly is the unique backing of this Black Tide Secret Society?

With this doubt and shock, along with recent rumors, many believers have developed feelings of curiosity and fear towards the Black Tide Secret Society.

Some clever opportunists started to ponder.

Perhaps... joining the Black Tide Secret Society would be a wise choice?

Thus, some people began trying to make contact with people from the Black Tide Secret Society.

But they quickly discovered... people from the Black Tide Secret Society indeed seemed just as the rumors said!

"Do not, under any circumstances, interact with people from the Black Tide Secret Society!"

"They are just like the rumors say, a group of terrifying madmen!"

"The other day, I met a young man on a merchant ship, had a pleasant conversation, but when I went to sleep in the middle of the night, I found... he was staring at me intently by my bedside!"

"I didn’t make a sound, spending a night in extreme fright, yet he kept staring at me the whole night!"

"As I was leaving, I heard him silently muttering, ’Should have acted earlier.’"

After trying to connect with believers of the Black Tide Secret Society, some people ran back in panic, recounting their experiences, faces full of the color of narrowly escaping from a crisis.

Some Kizi believers also strongly agree, faces filled with fear.

They’ve heard that believers of the Black Tide Secret Society frequently talk about offering live sacrifices to the Master of the Black Tide.

And it seems it’s not just the believers of the Black Tide Secret Society.

When some went to the territory of the Black Tide Secret Society for trade, even some civilians were filled with an eerie aura...

Thus, in the sea area of the Kizi Church.

Rumors about the horror of the Black Tide Secret Society were half-truths, spreading wildly and getting increasingly exaggerated, making listeners shiver and break out in cold sweat.

Lots of people wanting to investigate the Black Tide Secret Society’s situation were struck with fear at mere mention.

Most people don’t believe rumors about the Black Tide Secret Society are false.

Nor would they think the slandered Black Tide Secret Society not only didn’t clarify, but instead fueled the rumors, with everyone in the Secret Society, even a small portion of civilians, joining the act...

Under such circumstances.

Ordinary people and most believers in the Kizi Church Sea Area began naturally to fear this mysterious and powerful Black Tide Secret Society.

In their view, people living in regions governed by the Black Tide Secret Society must be suffering, worse than death...

Of course, rumors are ultimately just rumors.

The fact that civilians under the Black Tide Secret Society are living increasingly well cannot be fabricated.

Naturally, some people discovered the truth therein.

However, in this world where many people still can’t fill their stomachs, most will never leave their hometown, and hence find it hard to know the truth.

Therefore, under the concerted efforts of many Black Tide Secret Society believers, the range of rumors has grown wider, eventually encompassing the entire Kizi Church Sea Area...

The progress of Heisatan’s ascension ritual is also rapidly increasing...

...

And beyond the Kizi Church Sea Area.
