Chapter 927 Strength of the evil cultists
[OP: ]
Most of the people found the answers to the questions that they were initially going to ask pinned in the general answer section.
Some of those questions were quite complicated, some of them were phrased sophisticatedly, while some of the questions that were already pinned there were so stupid from so many sides, that the people- masters of various fields who knew the answers to those dumb questions- could only scoff at those would even want to ask such questions.
But things were complicated since many questions that were simple for them were difficult to understand for the rest, and many questions that were complicated for them to understand were very easy for many others to understand.
There was a general discussion section under each of the pinned questions as well so they could discuss a lot of things among themselves without disturbing Eon.
{ "First of all, we will begin with the power comparison of the most basic, lowest ranking individuals in this cult." }
The question and answer session had ended quite quickly since the questions that he had received were also quite easy to answer or were pretty easy to explain to them.
If the questions were about his technology, it was obviously coming from those who understand the impact that their question was making, and if someone was understanding the question that they were asking, it was not that difficult to answer it.
{ "Since they possess demonic energy that is at least as strong as a contractor of a <Baron> ranked demonic noble, even the most base level grunt in this force that we have found deployed on field until now are all at least as strong as an (Blue) ranked energy beast.
However, the demonic energy factor makes their lethality to humans as high as a creature that could constantly contaminate a large area with their poison." }
Most of the questions in the hour that was given to them did not even need his direct attention.
The pinned sections even had questions that one did not understand yet. Or had not even thought about it.
There were more than a few hundred questions available in that section, but one could only access that section as well as the rest of the features when Eon gives the permission from his master controller.
This device was not just a toy, the main objective of this thing was to connect them for this presentation so when Eon began his second section and turned off the other features, they lost access to everything that they were doing.
{ "We have divided the individuals in this cult the same way we divide the energy beasts: From red to purple and two extra sections of White and Black." }
The questions were done and he needed to finish two sections of his presentation today, so he picked up the pace and started explaining things in a way that was not only easy for all of them to understand, those who did not understand his words were able to understand it through the data that was presented to them as well as the comparison that they were seeing all around them through the projections.
They had noticed long ago that they were able to understand all that they were saying even without the help of a fairy connecting them, and that was also thanks to the device that they were playing with a while ago.
This was a unique artefact and those who understood this thing on a deeper level, could tell it was the most unique thing that was presented to them until now.
{ "Starting from the Red ranked Evil cultists…" }
Now, he was starting the power scaling comparison and the information on these cultists that was going to be crucial for the understanding of the people around here.
They were going to need a lot of basic information so, he started with the basics, explained to them how to identify these cultists based on various clues, and how much strength they would possess on the general scale.
Eon and his party had not faced any demonic cultists higher than the (Yellow) rank so the rest of them were half facts and half speculations derived from the data that they had gathered from their investigations.
Looking back at the things that they had faced in the Lakmer, they were surely fighting a full scale battle, but that was not much compared to what they were actually going to face in the future.
Among these cultists, from their understanding, there were even some high ranking members like the 'Pope' and 'Bishops' that possibly possessed divinity.
And that was the most concerning matter here since even those who possessed the divine power that was in the realm beyond that of the mortals, on Eon's scaling, were only on the 'Indigo' rank.
{ "The True purple ranked individuals as we are speculating could very well be as powerful as an original Divine best or a Lord." }
It was unprecedented for a being like that to be interested in the matters of the physical world, but the information that we have gathered until now very well pointed towards a unique kind of plan.
{ "The demonic cult wants the destruction of this world." }
Unlike the Rakshasas, they want to destroy everything from the inside out and bring out the total chaos that was only talked about in the stories.
{ "We do not know their motives or reasons yet, since aside from the highest ranking individuals of this cult, no one is sane or permitted to even know most of the things about them." }
From the memories that he had managed to extract from the dead cultists or the ones that they had captured, he was able to know how they were trained in unique facilities throughout the world and in many unknown places.
And he showed that detailed, extremely complex but effective process to them as well.
{ "Using the techniques that they use would break the very soul of the individual, however it is all compensated with the demonic energy and the unconventional contract made with the demons." }
Apparently, since they were speculating the presence of a divinity, it was not that uncommon to connect these evil cultists to anything else either.
They were evil at the end of the day, and divinity attracted all kinds of individuals.
{ "At the beginning when the battle in the Lakmer ended, we speculated that these cultists would also be present in different places, under different powers that could work in the same way as the demonic energy." }
Practically, the method that the higher ups of this cult used to create these ground level soldiers was through an extreme training of mind, body, and soul.
Eon could not recreate the exact method that they used, but from what he pieced together, he had created a simulation.
And that simulation was played before the rest of them.
"..."
"Oh, my lord…"
"!!!"
"Stop that! How could they…!"
"Even demons aren't so cruel."
They first crushed the minds of the people that were either chosen, handpicked, or came to them on their own through various, disgusting, unethical, unfathomable acts.
From making them kill their own to making them eat parts of a demonic beast's body. From making them fight one another, to even doing unspeakable things to young and old women.
The methods to break the individual minds varied, but since most human minds are simple, it did not take that much work to completely destroy and reassemble them.
Afterwards, when the people are in no condition to even understand the world around them, they willingly sign contracts with demonic entities or whatever it was that would become the source of their demonic power.
When an individual gains a unique kind of power, be it the demonic power, the holy power, the power of oceans, or the power of other races, their potential is boosted temporarily.
And they are later sorted out in various groups and trained to wield the powers that they are 'reborn' with.
{ "Those who somehow still have a part of their mind intact becomes a higher up in this cult." }
But most do not even make it through the first process.
{ "From what we have calculated, sixty percent of the people either take their own lives or become so nonfunctional at the end of this that they are disposed of immediately." }
The rare few that Eon found and was currently observing were said to have survived this whole hell and somehow were able to regain their mind and humanity– he gave them (Black) rank.
They were a ticking time bomb that were now even stronger than many of those cultists. They were the irregular products of the cult. And many of them were hiding right now, sharpening their claws, sharpening their blades for their revenge.
{ "The (White) rank in this cult will go to the true mastermind behind all this." }
Eon knew these techniques, these methods, the kind of planning it required to execute, assemble, and maintain all of this that could not be done by some simple person, were not originally from this world.
He did not know who could have done all this and why would they even do this, but, the net that this [Cult Master] had spread all over the world was truly unfathomable.

{ "We shall take a break before we continue with how this cult has spread all across the world." }
There were no questions this time either since after that simulation, many of them were not even feeling well.
Eon did not hesitate to show them the gruesome sight that he had somehow extracted from the memories of the fallen cutists either.
Even though they were bound by Origin oaths and their contracts, after a long series of trials and errors, he was able to figure out how to bypass most of that and get information out of their heads before they explode.
Most of the things in his presentation were facts supported by proof.
Still, there were going to be questions.
These people present here would not just accept everything that a young boy and girl were showing them…
