As Wendell told, Gregory gradually understood.

After being corrupted by the gray fog, Wendel's body disintegrated and differentiated into dozens of individuals. Each individual is part of Wendel and also carries part of Wendel's soul, and Wendel's main soul is attached to the body of the "religious pastor".

When the initial madness period passed, Wendel's main soul temporarily recovered from awakening. When facing the distortion of the "Gray Mist Will" on his soul, Wendel replaced his main soul with the remnant soul in his incarnation to delay the progress of the soul being twisted. At least, he was able to remain awake until all remnant souls were distorted by the Gray Mist Will.

During this period, Wendell personally established the Secret Church and used the knowledge he had gained when he was the Patriarch of the "Firekeeper" sect to open a quiet room in the depths of the Secret Church that could isolate the grey fog. Until this moment, Wendell's soul finally temporarily escaped from the threat of the grey fog, and his consciousness was able to remain awake for a long time.

The premise is that he is always trapped in this quiet room.

And even if he imprisoned himself in this quiet room forever, his soul would eventually be affected by the grey fog.

There was indeed no gray fog in the quiet room, but his body was still filled with the power of gray fog.

These forces are entangled with the power of flames. Although they are not corroded to the soul compared to the pure gray fog power, they will still make Wendel crazy over time.

So, the plan to build a city began.

Under the control of Wendel's "self", many incarnations began to transform the Deep Church, making the entire Deep Church have the characteristics of repelling gray fog. Later, he collected a group of violent beasts, and after the corresponding transformation, they turned them into human-shaped monsters who knew how to use tools, and built this Deep City together.

More than ten years later, the entire Deep City and the Deep Church were transformed. The Deep City also had the characteristics of repelling gray fog, turning the entire city and some of the "suburbs" outside the city into low gray fog concentration areas, while the Deep Church became a completely "fog-free area". With the church gate closed, no trace of gray fog can enter the church.

But at this moment, Wendel's "self" soul had reached a limit: his last pure soul was about to be twisted by gray fog and turned into a destruction executor at the front and rear of the car.

And at this moment, the Deep City welcomed its first "guest" - an unlucky adventurer.

In a battle in the gray fog, he was separated from his companions and had no protection from the fire. In order to resist the erosion of the gray fog, the adventurer's own power was quickly consumed. Just as his body was about to be fully invaded by the gray fog, he was very "lucky" to find this "relic city in the gray fog".

Then he was knocked unconscious and dragged into the Deep Church by the monster.

The adventurer never woke up again, and when he appeared in the city again, he was already a monster eroded by grey fog.

However, Wendel was relieved, and his soul, which had been twisted to the limit, had recovered a little bit.

Wendel discovered that when he uses the power of the gray fog in his body to corrode humans in an environment without gray fog, the distortion on his soul will also transfer to humans, allowing his soul to recover from waking up.

Of course, compared with Wendel's soul, the soul of an ordinary adventurer is too weak to completely restore Wendel's soul, so he developed something that can seduce humans.

"carol?"

Gregory suddenly thought of the strange hymn in the dark tide of the Blue City.

"Yes."

Wendel nodded and continued to tell.

In this way, two or three groups of lost adventurers are lured to the Deep City every year, allowing Wendel's soul to gradually recover. Even before the Black Tide of Blue City, a soul of one of Wendel's incarnation has recovered a certain degree of consciousness.

However, after that, Gregory made two big news in a row, and the power of the gray fog became even more violent, and the soul of the incarnation was twisted again.

Of course, Gregory's focus is not on this at all: "If you sacrifice the lives of other people just to ensure the awakening of your soul..."

"I'm just doing the right thing," Wendell shook his head. "If my soul falls, it's not a two-person adventurer who sacrifices."

"Look at the monsters outside, now I have my constraints. These powerful monsters rarely leave this city. Even when the Black Tide of the Blue City was driven by the will of the gray fog, they could only maintain their humanity and be slaughtered by others. What if my soul was completely lost? I, who did not do anything to destroy the world, will completely liberate the combat power of these monsters. Perhaps it still cannot threaten the four people in the ring city, but how many people will die because of this?"

"I can understand, just..."

Gregory sighed. He understood all these principles, but he just couldn't accept them.

“It’s all for the higher good.”

Angus patted Gregory on the shoulder and said so.

Gregory obviously didn't want to discuss this issue anymore: "What are you going to do now?"

"Kill those monsters," Wendell pointed to the door of the quiet room. "I will control those monsters to enter the church one by one. They will not resist. You just need to kill them with the sword in your hand."

"But what's the point?"

Gregory was a little confused. In essence, the violent beast was just a gathering of gray fog power. When the violent beast was killed, the gray fog power would disperse into the world again and would not weaken the gray fog power. When these forces condensed new violent beasts in other places, without Wendel's suppression, it would pose a greater threat.

"But you have it," Angus pointed to the spiral sword in Gregory's hand. "It can kill those monsters 'completely'. The monsters killed by this sword will be absorbed, and the gray fog power that forms the body will be dispersed and become pure energy, and pure energy will not condense into monsters."

"I see."

Gregory nodded, his right hand holding the Flame Certificate tightened slightly, and a layer of fire suddenly appeared on the sword.

The door of the quiet room quietly opened, Gregory walked out with his sword, and Corey and Hall were about to follow him, but the door of the quiet room suddenly closed.
