Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

Thanks to the timely intervention of the Supreme Court President, Chief Judge, and Angel-level Bryce Bresley of the Inquisition, the mushroom disaster with unknown causes and unknown behind-the-scenes culprits finally did not cause the annihilation of the Inquisition.

Except for the Inquisitor who was initially sprayed with a strange liquid containing spores by the heretic missionaries, which caused the disaster, and was unfortunately sucked into a dry corpse by the rapidly growing mushrooms under the stimulation of a large amount of holy water, most of the other Inquisitors saved their lives.

It is true that they saved their lives, but the parts that were eroded, swallowed or replaced by mushrooms may not be able to come back.

Magic can still heal some places, but some special parts... cannot be regenerated with the current magic healing technology of the Church of Light, and at most can heal the wounds.

The Inquisitors who lost a pair of eyes, an arm, and half of their livers in this incident could only endure their tears and grievances.

——Who told them to be so weak that they couldn't even deal with these mushrooms.

Lack of strength is the original sin.

Bryce maintained the domain for three days before completely killing the mushroom spores. The fallen mushroom stems, mycelium clusters and dry spores were carefully collected and burned by the judges who were wrapped tightly in airtight cloth.

After completing the cleaning, Bryce released the domain and immediately entered the papal court.

Such a catastrophic incident suspected of being invaded by the evil god's followers actually occurred in a trial room of the heretic trial in the holy city of Jourlanda, the headquarters of the Church of Light. This is simply to push the Church of Light to the ground and then slap it in its face.

In the meeting hall of the papal court, the pope, cardinals and archbishops have all arrived.

Bryce stepped into the meeting hall calmly, glanced at Leto without leaving a trace, and sent a comforting look to his brother.

"What on earth is going on with this farce?!" Cardinal Pendra Roque, who has always been at odds with the Bresley family, asked sternly.

"When the heretical missionaries escaped from the Inquisition, they attacked the inquisitors who arrested them with a mushroom spore spray that we have never seen before." Bryce introduced it concisely, and took out a glass bottle and placed it on the long table. It contained a dried mushroom sample he had preserved.

Everyone present shrank back inconspicuously.

"This strange mushroom can grow by attaching to the flesh and blood of living people. Its hyphae will penetrate into any part of the human body, wandering around and sucking flesh and blood. People attached to it will feel itchy and painful, and even have their nerves and brains controlled by the mushrooms, thus falling into uncontrollable madness.

They will be controlled by the instinct of the mushrooms and involuntarily pounce on the uninfected people. The mushrooms on their bodies will spray more spores to infect others.

Strangely, holy water not only cannot kill and purify these unknown evil gods' followers, but also stimulate and accelerate their growth, making the mushrooms stronger. This is one of the reasons why this incident broke out so suddenly... The first batch of judges attacked by mushrooms chose holy water for purification, but the result was counterproductive."

"We understand the situation of the incident." The Pope said, "But who is our enemy? We have never heard of such an evil god with mushrooms as followers!"

The bishops below chattered and discussed at once.

"Mushrooms... should they be plants? This doesn't seem like the style of elves... could it be Mother Earth?"

"The uncontrollable desire to give birth and reproduce... maybe the Black Goat of the Forest? Filthy things like mushrooms can often be seen in dirty and rotten forests."

"But I heard that those heretical missionaries promoted the name of an evil god called Ke something... what was Ke something... C'Thun? Cleru?"

"Could it be that there is another new evil god coming to the world? Is it some mushroom god?"

"... I haven't heard of it. I am more inclined to believe that it is the work of some existing gods... Has the 'Order' made any unusual moves recently?"

"According to the news from our spies lurking in Amt County, after Iyalian disappeared, he was busy appeasing the immigrants of the Golden Country and trying to rebuild a 'Golden Country on the Earth' in Amt County."

The bishops fell into a subtle silence for a while.

"Does this 'Order' want to take over the 'Abundant' legacy?" the Pope asked in confusion, "But why doesn't He start with the Golden Country where the treasure is hidden, and mess with those worthless immigrants?"

He was puzzled and turned around and asked, "Where is the new Sea God?"

"...He is selling salt."

This answer was even more strange, and everyone fell into a longer silence.

"...Selling salt?"

"Yes, selling sea salt, and a kind of MSG extracted from seaweed, it is said that adding it to water can restore the 'delicious taste of seafood'."

The Pope and the bishops who never cook and even lost and forgot the most basic human taste in the process of climbing the God level: "..." What messed up are these gods doing?

Strange as it is, neither the God of Order nor the Sea God can be related to the 'crazy breeding' weird mushrooms. If there is a connection, the Black Goat of the Forest and the Mother of All Spirits in charge of fertility are more like criminals.

"These bastards..." The Pope gritted his teeth in hatred, "They are taking advantage of our gods' absence to rob us! Blaise! We must arrest all these heretical missionaries, find out who is behind the scenes, and then execute them all! Execute!"

"Yes!" Blaise raised his left hand to his chest and saluted, then left the conference room.

Before leaving, he once again gave Leto a look without leaving a trace.

After leaving the conference room, Blaise did not walk too far. He came to the small garden outside the conference room and found a bench to sit down.

Not long after, the Cardinal Cat's Eye, who had just adjourned the meeting, also appeared in the small garden.

"Brother!"

"Leto." Bryce nodded to his brother, stood up, and reached out to rub his younger brother's soft golden hair: "Long time no see, when did you come to the Holy City?"

"This morning, I was urgently summoned by His Holiness the Pope." Leto hugged his brother's arm, "Brother, are those mushroom heretics difficult to deal with? Are you injured?"
