The cult disaster in Palos was apparently worse than expected, and according to the local defense officer, the cult known as the Blessed Worm had now formed a climate.

It is widely admired among the local population, and if it is allowed to continue, a larger rebellion may not be long in the future.

After reporting the situation to Clara in the capital Aimada, the princess hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be equally surprised.

Since Palos was not far from the capital, in the end, in order to ensure that the upcoming Ascension Festival could go smoothly, Clara gave the order for the pro-guard team to continue the investigation, and claimed that a warband would be sent to assist in their investigation.

It is necessary to find out the origin of this strange force and the forces behind it, so as to avoid any unexpected situations during the most important festivals.

......

At this moment, in the command post of the Planetary Defense Force, after listening to the detailed reports of the officers on the local situation, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely dull.

One fact is that the speed at which this cult force has spread is really too fast, and in just a few days it has expanded from a few sporadic members at the beginning to tens of thousands now, as if they were cancerous cells.

The despicable cultists used their demagogic rhetoric to attract large numbers of slave laborers and local Emma workers to their rallies, and the speakers took advantage of the laborers' dissatisfaction with royalty and their desire to change their humble situation to instill in them a bizarre belief in nihilism known as the Great Devourer.

The Worm Cultists are convinced that nothing is truly valuable, that everything is meaningless, including themselves.

Even the entire universe will inevitably eventually go to annihilation, and only by reshaping their bodies and souls and giving everything to the Great Devourer can they truly gain salvation from meaningless destruction, and eventually become transcendent beings in the body of the Great Devourer.

I have to say that this incident is really too outrageous, and the local garrison firmly believes that there must be some powerful force behind that cult force.

For a moment, perhaps to liven up the atmosphere, only to see a young member of the team shrug his shoulders and then said jokingly.

"I don't think we're going to be able to make it in time."

Hearing this, the people at the scene only smiled helplessly, but only Martin's face always had that serious expression, since the spaceship landed on this planet, the veteran's heart has been surging with an ominous premonition.

Even in the heavily guarded garrison base, the strange feeling never subsided, but began to grow stronger.

It didn't take long for Martin to frown slightly after glancing up at the crowd in front of him.

"What about Elena? Why hasn't she come back yet? ”

Hearing the inquiry, an officer in the command post took a step forward and replied.

"The priest probably stopped by the refugee settlement center to help look after the wounded who had escaped from the mine, and I think it won't be long before she returns."

The members of the guards present didn't pay attention to this statement at first, after all, it did seem like something Elena would do, but it was in the middle of the officer's speech.

Standing at the end of the crowd, Karl suddenly saw that the officer seemed to have a small scar on the back of his neck, as if he had been cut with a knife.

While the members of the command post were still busy making plans for the next step, a rush of gunfire suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

"Is it the sound of a hot melt weapon firing?"

Before everyone could hear where the voice was coming from, there was a flurry of gunfire that was still ongoing, but Elena's voice suddenly came from the guard's communicator, and the priest was heard repeating the same sentence all the time amid the intermittent coughing.

"Monster...... They're all monsters......"

......

......

Soon, as the group quickly arrived at the already chaotic refugee camp, the battle here seemed to have come to an end, and the soldiers in the camp were using their incineration guns to burn the piled up alien corpses, a creature resembling centipedes.

When Carl finally finds Elena in a barracks, she is on her knees retching, and next to her are two mutilated bodies bombarded with hot melt weapons, which appear to be a mother and daughter.

Seeing this, Karl hurriedly stepped forward to help Elena, who was out of strength, only to see that there were several obvious scratches on the light armor she was wearing, and even her shoulder seemed to have been cut with a bayonet, and blood was converging along her arm on her right hand holding the hot melt pistol.

"The two girls suddenly turned into monsters and kissed me while I wasn't looking, and I could feel what she was putting down my throat......"

In her breath, Elena looked at the corpse on the ground that had been fused in two, only to see that the girl's body seemed to have undergone a terrifying mutation, her head was so swollen, as if something was about to break the skull, and the ten thin fingers were even more alienated into sharp bone claws, while the situation of the other corpse was about the same.

For a moment, as Elena retched in agony again, this time she spit out something without warning, and at the same time a deep voice came from outside the door.

"Elena!"

It was Martin and members of the Personal Guard, along with several resident officers.

The moment they entered the barracks, they were undoubtedly shocked by the scene in front of them, staring at the two strange corpses on the ground, even a few battle-hardened veterans in the guard couldn't help but sigh.

"What the hell is this monster......

According to Elena, she had hoped to use the refugee's descriptions to gather information about the cultists and see if anyone needed her help.

That's when the two girls met, and at first they seemed normal, just a brief account of the rebellion, but by the time Elena let her guard down and tried to bandage one of them.

The nearest girl threw her to the ground and kissed her roughly, that is, in the process, the other party put something into her mouth.

And when she pushed the other party away violently and threw the other party's thin body aside, the two girls in front of her, who were originally pitiful, had already turned into irrational and hideous faces.

In the end, when the other party tried to attack again, Elena, who was forced to defend, had to take out the hot melt gun she was wearing, and when she heard this, Carl seemed to suddenly think of something.

As he looked down, he saw a reddish-brown egg rolling on the floor, and the gelatinous substance wrapped in the outermost layer was about to melt, and a fat worm could be faintly seen writhing.

If it weren't for Elena spitting it out in time, it's hard to imagine what the consequences would have been.

While the members of the Guards were still figuring out what that thing was.

Looking at the larvae still struggling on the floor, the crowd looked at the face of only one of the resident officers, and gradually revealed a grim gaze.
