Chapter 953 - It's Hard Being This Weak
🕑 Added 2024-07-15 11:08:56 +0000 UTCMaybe Jake was a bit hypocritical for calling the Great Bright One believers a cult, considering he was part of a faction that worshipped a giant snake god. Then again, the Malefic Viper’s organization was called an Order. Did he have a cult in the past? Yes, but now he had an Order, so it wasn’t the same thing.
As for how he would deal with them… time would tell. Jake wasn’t going to be antagonistic for no reason, though. Before he decided what he would do, he definitely needed some more information.
“I must admit I’m not that knowledgeable about this Great Bright One,” Jake said, as he tried to be a bit careful with his words. “But you said you expected me to know, considering I am not related to the one who calls himself the Celestial Child… what do you mean by that?”
The speaker seemed to confer with the others in the room for a moment before she answered. “This Ell’Hakan follows a god by the name of Yip of Yore. That in itself is no problem, but he has taken a rather fanatical approach and believes his god is superior to all others despite only having risen to godhood through the grace of the system made by the Great Bright One. To work with such an individual who is so deep in his delusions would be difficult for us. Don’t misunderstand; belief in the many gods of the multiverse and ignorance of the Great Bright One is not an issue, but someone who so blatantly disregards the Great Bright One isn’t someone we would want to work with.”
Alright, so they do acknowledge the existence of other gods… man, this is weird.
“I see,” Jake slowly nodded.
“Might I ask, seeing as you do not know of the Great Bright One, what does your planet believe in?” the speaker asked curiously. There didn’t seem to be any malicious intentions behind the question, so Jake answered truthfully.
“People are allowed to believe in whatever they want on my planet, as long as their beliefs do not cause harm to others,” Jake said. “Perhaps there are even followers of the Great Bright One.”
He seriously doubted it, but he couldn’t really know, now could he?
“Do you personally follow a god?” the speaker continued.
“No, not really,” Jake answered with a shrug.
What? Sure, he was the Chosen of Villy, but Jake wouldn’t say he “followed” the Malefic Viper in any way. Jake was more of a freeloader who yoinked some Records and enjoyed all the benefits like the good little heretic he was.
“If you want to, I’m sure the Voice of the One would gladly speak to you about the Great Bright One. Ah, the Voice of the One is the one who holds the title of World Leader here on our planet,” the speaker said, finally also speaking about the World Leader.
“Is the World Leader not on the council?” Jake asked curiously.
“He has an honorable position where he offers advice and input, but he rarely makes use of the powers bestowed upon him as the World Leader and trusts the council for all decisions. His participation is limited, though, as his role as the Voice of the One requires him to focus on listening to the guidance of the Great Bright One. However, I’m sure he would spare another World Leader some of his valuable time if you desire a meeting,” the speaker explained.
“Does he communicate with the Great Bright One even now?” Jake asked, trying to act impressed.
“Of course. The Voice of the One has been in communion for the past day to discuss when we are ready to face the Prima Guardian,” the speaker said in a revering voice. “His communion should be done by the end of the day, and we shall inform him of your arrival then. Until such a time, let us proceed with having you prove your prowess and capabilities to face the Prima Guardian. Let me also be transparent that we require more of you than the average mercenary, as we cannot in good consciousness risk your death, considering your identity as a World Leader.”
“That’s fair,” Jake nodded, as he believed he didn’t really have more to discuss with the council for now. He did have a lot of questions, but he chose to not ask any of them as he saw no reason to risk turning them hostile. At least not before he met this Voice of the One.
“Thank you all for this meeting; it was very enlightening,” Jake continued and couldn’t help but make a small pun. “I wish you all well. I shall now go see how powerful these Primas of your world truly are.”
“May the light of the Great Bright One guide your Path,” the speaker said with a bow, Jake nodding in acknowledgment as he walked out of the room. Outside, the attendant who had originally brought him there was waiting, and based on how her face had changed at times throughout the conversation he had with the council, she had definitely heard everything they said.
There was a lot to take in. Clearly, this Great Bright One had a firm hold on the population of the planet, and they all held unswayable faith. Yet they also didn’t seem hostile or even like they expected Jake or anyone else to believe the same thing they did, though they did expect people to recognize their beliefs. Clearly, they also knew of the existence of other gods. It was all just very weird, and Jake hoped the Voice of the One could shed some light on the situation. If not him, then maybe the attendant who was waiting for him.
Exiting the conference room, the attendant naturally stood ready and bowed in greeting. “I hope your meeting with the council proceeded well. I will admit I heard most of what was said, including that you are to prove your power by slaying a Prima. Do you wish for me to lead you to one of the battlefields immediately? I have one in mind, commanded by our top general. If you impress him, his word will hold more sway than anyone else’s. Besides that of the Voice of the One, of course.”
She said the last part jokingly, as if it was a given. Jake responded by nodding, agreeing to her proposal. “Please lead me there.”
With an enthusiastic nod, the elven attendant led Jake away from the Council Estate, seemingly in a better mood than when they arrived. She was also a lot more talkative on the way through the city as they headed for the military’s teleportation center – because, apparently, they kept those separate from the civilian ones on this planet.
Jake tried to probe as much as he could to learn more about the planet and the Great Bright One, even playing the part of an interested potential believer at times. The elven attendant gladly answered everything and volunteered much information Jake hadn’t even asked about. Jake knew she was probably trying to make the planet seem a lot better than it actually was, but it all sounded kind of… nice?
He had called them a cult, but he didn’t really hear anything cult-like outside of their looney beliefs. They didn’t force people into particular Paths like the Holy Church either or required absolute obediance and faith. Based on what Jake saw when he scouted with his Pulse, everything also seemed to track with what the attendant said. What was the most surprising was that people were allowed to freely leave without any problems, with a lot of people having chosen to do so, especially those who went to Nevermore. Of course, Jake couldn’t confirm these people chose to leave, but the attendant didn’t seem like she was lying.
The only real crime Jake would say the planet committed was being weak. Because he really didn’t see a lot of powerful people. After they teleported to the frontlines and Jake saw the so-called top general of the entire planet, this was further cemented.
[Elf – lvl 270 – Minor Blessing of the Great Bright One]
Sure, his level wasn’t atrocious, but he was weak. Jake didn’t feel any threat from the guy, and compared to the World Leader Olliandra on the last planet, this guy really sucked… and it wasn’t even like she was that strong either.
There was one thing, though. For him to reach that level, he had to have gone to Nevermore, right? Jake wondered how the extreme beliefs of the ones on this planet meshed with that. Jake could understand people leaving, but when he did a few scans here on the frontlines, he saw many who had gone to Nevermore. Really odd.
Jake had lots of questions, but he’d chosen to save them all for the Voice of the One. For now, he was there to prove he was strong enough to help with the Prima Guardian.
“Ah, you must be that solo World Leader I heard about,” the general said when Jake entered a large temporary building that looked like it was made out of white plastic and plexiglass.
“That would be me,” Jake confirmed. “I heard you have some Primas for me to hunt?”
“That’s quite the understatement,” the man chuckled, stroking his blonde beard. “We have managed to funnel them into this area pretty well with different lures and scouting teams, making this the single-largest battlefield on the planet for regular monsters and Primas both.”
“How many have you slain so far? Primas, that is,” Jake asked curiously.
“Based on the newest report, eighty-six. Mainly the more speedy types who got here from the Prima Vessel first. We make use of their differing speeds to not get overwhelmed with too many at a time, and so far, it’s working,” the general explained.
Jake nodded, having also done a few Pulses to see the base camp and some of the battlefield. Things were honestly pretty well organized, especially when one considered the massive advantage this planet had: pure fucking numbers. Jake wasn’t even talking about C-grades here. They had millions of D-grades also helping in this war, primarily serving to help amplify magical formations or defensive barriers.
“Just point me to the Prima you want dead, and I’ll handle it. Alone. My Path allows me to land incredibly powerful blows from stealth and then leverage that into an advantage, using a bow,” Jake said, explaining a bit of his Path. It wasn’t like he would have hidden this part anyway, and he saw no harm in telling the general to earn some trust points.
“Alright… sounds like you would do well against mage types,” the man nodded. The table in front of him changed as a 3D map was shown of the nearby battlefield. A section of it was highlighted, as the general explained. “We got one such Prima in this area. Hidden pretty well, and very annoying when it shows up. It also seems a lot more intelligent and cautious than most other Primas. It was one of the first to arrive, but the problem is that every time we tried to move in on it, it retreated to recover, only to return shortly after to unleash a few skills. It has done this four times so far and has caused a few thousand casualties already.”
“Sounds like a good target,” Jake agreed, a bit impressed with the Prima for acting like that. Were the ones on Earth also that smart? C-grades did tend to all be smart, so probably? Chances are, the ones on Earth never had the chance to show off just how bright they were due to dying too fast.
The general seemed pleased as another 3D model appeared, this one showing a thin, kind of humanoid creature that looked like the mix between a jellyfish and an octopus. At least it had a mix of feelers and tentacles instead of arms and legs, with a few also just extending out here and there from its body.
“This is the newest scan we have of it. It possesses space magic and some form of force magic we believe. Perhaps just a derivative of space magic, our data is inconclusive on that front. Our original plan was to prepare a team of rogueish fighters to take it down, but if you can do it, that would be more than welcome,” the general continued.
Honestly, all of this was unnecessary, but Jake chose to act as if this was all critical information as he nodded along. He wanted to learn more about what was going on with this planet and this Great Bright One, and Jake was pretty sure proving himself too strong could make that very hard.
That’s why he had decided to prove himself strong but not overpowered. He would also make it look like he was a one-trick pony who only really had the strategy of landing powerful blows from stealth and then just shooting a few more arrows afterward, hoping it would be enough. Alright, that kind of was his strategy most of the time… moving on.
After a bit more briefing, the general was suddenly interrupted as some magic message seemed to arrive. “New attack incoming… and it looks like your target may also be on its way based on our scanners.”
“I’ll get set up right away,” Jake nodded.
“Be aware I will have a scout keep an eye on you during all this,” the man noted. “She will keep her distance to not reveal your position, but we naturally need someone to witness and attest to your abilities.”
“That’s only to be expected,” Jake agreed. “I’ll head out. Good luck on the frontlines.”
“And good luck to you,” the general nodded. “May the Great Bright One bless your quest.”
Jake simply nodded and headed out to take down the Prima. On the way out, he got a mini projector thing that could show a map of the battlefield, and it was even live-updated with the estimated position of the Prima he was to kill.
Honestly, it was all some impressive tech, and Jake felt like Arnold would have liked things on this planet… though he would probably also think they were simplistic and didn’t have enough void magic.
While making his way forward, he also briefly made eye contact with the scout who was to keep an eye on him, the woman not trying to hide what she was doing. Jake just gave her a brief nod as she followed behind him at a good distance, using okay-ish stealth skills. He also used his own stealth skills, though he didn’t go full-on Unseen Hunter.
Getting to the battlefield didn’t take long, and Jake observed things for a while to see how the elves fought. As expected, lots of light magic was going on, with burning rays filling the air and scorching beasts in droves.
Some of this light magic came from towers constructed near the frontlines, with each of these towers having a group of five C-grades at the top, while the inside was filled with D-grades and magical scripts, making these D-grades effectively serve as batteries and amplifiers. A few D-grades wouldn’t help much… but stuff a few thousand into a tower, and it could do some work. Again, seeing how a planet with such a huge population had adapted to fight was very interesting.
Jake kept looking as he made his way forward, being careful with his speed so the scout could keep up, and he didn’t show off too much. Soon enough, he spotted his target in the distance, and as the general had said, it definitely played things safe. Its way of fighting also reminded Jake a bit of the Fallen King, as it sent out blasts of force here and there, though it was definitely more specialized for long-range combat rather than mid-range.
He took a bit longer to find a good vantage point, at which point he began setting up. To sell his one-trick style of combat, Jake began to put down a magic circle around him before he would shoot. What did this circle do? Nothing, Jake just made up some bullshit, but he kept the runes super fucking complicated to make sure the scout couldn’t see he was faking it.
After about a minute of setting up the fake magic circle, Jake finally took out his bow. He had considered it and decided to still use a Protean Arrow, though he wouldn’t make one with full power. His reason for using one was more for aesthetic reasons. It just made more sense that a big arrow would do way more damage than a small arrow.
Finally, Jake nocked the arrow and began to charge Arcane Powershot. He very carefully estimated how much power he put in before he released the string and sent the arrow flying. The Prima he targeted noticed the attack coming its way and tried to react, but Jake used Gaze to ensure it would hit.
The arrow struck the Prima right in the chest before exploding, sending it flying backward as parts of its body were blown apart. Jake had very deliberately ensured he wouldn’t one-shot it, just get very close.
He followed up with three more arrows before the Prima could recover, finally taking it down for good.
You have slain [Tencufi Prima – lvl 279]
Jake nodded, satisfied with his performance. However, when he saw the scout, she looked on with wide eyes while gawking.
Seriously? Jake questioned. He had held back so much… did she have any idea how difficult it was to not one-shot something below his own level like that? It was really bloody hard to be that weak!
Either way, he hoped he hadn’t overdone it. Still, to buy some more good guy points, Jake unleashed a few more attacks, killing regular monsters that looked like they were causing problems for the many elven fighters. He only stopped when a group of winged beasts began to head his way, retreating as he quickly made his way back toward the general, trying to look extremely tired from this whole ordeal.
Jake had the scout go ahead as he made himself a lot slower to get back. He needed to give the scout some time to report while also hopefully selling that he was kind of tired. When he finally arrived and saw the very pleased look on the face of the general, Jake believed he had succeeded.
“Truly impressive… you might just be the strongest mercenary to have arrived thus far,” the general said. “At least you have the single-strongest attack I’ve seen. Very useful for hunting powerful monsters, for sure.
“I do have some more cards hidden that I’ve saved specifically for the Prima Guardian,” Jake shared, also trying to bring the topic back to the Prima Guardian. While the planet was interesting, his main objective was still to kill the big boss, after all.
“Certainly, we are one step closer to facing the Guardian, but to release it is not my decision, but up to the discretion of the Voice of the One and the guidance he receives from the Great Bright One,” the general shook his head before smiling. “Luckily for you, I got a report just before you returned… the Voice of the One has agreed to see you.”

Why doesn't Jake ask Villy about the bright one?
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.

Thx for the chapter
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!

As I had predicted the bright one is a noob and jake coud have be a brute ^^
Vega
I’m definitely hoping Jake would get to team up in some way with Draskil in this arc. Their interactions are always hilarious
TwoMoreYears
I doubt it, but I really hope the twist is that everything is face value here.

There is still time for that

"Diplomatic Jake" won't last past tomorrow's chapter
Jeff McCulley
I wonder if maybe he/she’s siphoning levels…
Tetsu-nii
🤣😂🤣😂
William WIlson
It does make sense considered if he 1 shot the toughest prima the world leader would probably be afraid of allowing him to stay for the guardian considering Jake could probably kill everyone on the planet
kingofshibainu
I'm liking this tour of the Milky Way. I wonder how the "I" creature will come in? It would be a damn shame if it somehow wound up on Elkie's planet...
P enyuk
the world leader is harvesting strong ones for himself. Calling it from a mile away.
Seen Death
To be fair, jake and his usual crew are just too powerful If everything was challenging to them, the rest of the universe would be completely boned haha. While there are a good amount of lulls, it makes me appreciate the intense stuff that much more, and generally the worldbuilding is engaging
Quasimagics
No not that far back. One of the challenge dungeons within nevermore. I'll look for the chapter after work.
Stuart Thwaites
Yeah (sigh) it's a tough job but someone has to do it.
Zack Leach
They did briefly say that there were enlightened on the surface.
Jeff McCulley
Because the World Leader isn’t going to open up the Vessel to let the Guardian out without being sure that Jake can do the job. Otherwise, they’d have a situation like the last planet.
Rrogerr Man
Can’t wait for next chapter!!
TimeDrawsNigh
Very useful for hunting powerful monsters, for sure. === Missing end quote
Rrogerr Man
Are you talking about the lucenta monster? Not a god, but the bright one could be related. In my mind, I think the whole thing is a scam made up by the world leader. Like a wizard of oz character, the “voice of the bright one” probably used some tricks to convince everyone that it is a real god. That’s my two cents
KenTX325
Agree, I have always enjoyed the comments from Villy.
DirePants
Hmm. Interesting 🤔
Danny
Yeah well i know u are right but the Chance that the brith one instand duck if he feel villi is so high maby the brith one is more importend then i think but if he is a random god maby not even a godking then its what ever or am I wrong ?
Jeff McCulley
Jake wouldn’t say he “followed” the Malefic Viper in any way.” Whaaat? C’mon, Jake! You follow Villy to the ice bucket full of beer all the time! Villy is gonna be SO hurt…
Zizawah
Jake would not have done well at Nevermore if he didn’t exercise patience. Not all hunts are straight forward. This one requires him to persuade the World Leader to open Prima Vessel early. Not all chapters can be fight oriented and for myself I kind of like the lulls and peaks.
Reno
I thought it said he wanted to learn more. The less he shows, the more he can learn. If he dominated the primas, he would also dominate any conversation after that, which would teach others about him and prevent him from learning more about others. He can always prove himself later if he needs to. But he can't make himself appear normal once he shows his power.
Thenais
the Great Bright One is the forgotten monk ?
Danny
Dam I realy didn t like it when jake holde back i woud have liked it a lot more when he teleportet from battel to battel and just nuke the shit out of all primas, then shit talk to the voice and the brith one and 1v1 the guardian
Martín Ballesteros Arias
That's an amusing thought, but it can't be, Eversmile grew with the system, hence he didn't make it, and his path denies him of the ability to lie
SmokeJam
Hm true, but my thought process: if he wants to kill the Guardian at the highest possible difficulty, wouldn't be an overwhelming kill on a prima be better and more reassuring to the World Leader? With these half-assed measures he might just prolong the waiting time.
John Durrett
The difference between religion and cult is numbers. When a cult gains enough followers to secure and keep its members safe on all sides, form national borders if necessary then it is recognized as a religion. That’s the process of Christianity, Islam, Mormonism
John Durrett
Because he fawned off all of that to Miranda to run his planet because he knows he isn’t the best with words
DasGoat622
Cult like mindsets don’t react well when you shatter all expectations of what power is. EH does it with trickery so it’s easier to dismiss. But Jake has the power to rival whatever this bright one is. And if he showed it before he’s fighting the Prima Guardian they may not let him
John Durrett
I know. If you want the primal released early, show them overwhelming power.
DDHG
It was a nature god. A lower ranked one, a ranger type beast tamer god. He is the one who gave the sky whale and the other beast on earth blessing as a thank you to Jake.
DasGoat622
That would explain the “he’s talking to the bright one right now” comment Jake made.
EmmericH.
Minaga can't provide blessings but I agree that it could be funny
William Keith
Well when he was in Nevermore he went 50 years on and off without talking to him. So I think he just got used to not having him in his head all the time. That’s my guess anyways. Plus Jake is more knowledgeable of the multiverse so probably has less questions for him.
Jack
That would be funny as shit😂
Kyle
I bet it will do something like that. He *might* get through this planet fine, but there’s no way “diplomatic Jake” lasts long without a major incident.
Kyle
I was thinking maybe Eversmile. Seems right up his alley to convince an entire newly integrated planet about some fake System history just to see how it affects their karma/development. You know a guy like him must be running thousands of equally inane experiments at a time just for giggles.
Preston Rose
I’m thinking the bright one is a Minaga clone! Lol
Josh Hietpas
“Forced”
Phallusar
Jake is nothing if not patient. People watch Jake exercise patience doing alchemy and stalking prey but paint him as an ADHD child on crack when it comes to stringing together a whole sentence or sitting still long enough to hear a full sentence.
Josh Hietpas
He was a moleman thing, not an elf remember
Josh Hietpas
I mean, a system event is going on and that usually means no contact with outside the 93rd. Im assuming thats what’s happening and this Voice dude is some bs, but I can’t be sure
Phallusar
He was a mole person on a mostly underground world. Before the system he'd never seen the sky.
Phallusar
He wants to have his aid accepted. Facing the Exalted/Revered/Honored Prima early requires the participation of the Planetary leader since they have the key. Otherwise every normal Prima they kill reduces the power and rewards, as well as extending the time spent on every planet. The first planet the World Leader opened it up right away so he didn't need the rigmarole.
SmokeJam
Almost as if Gavin didn't properly read your comment lol And the way he said "implies delusion" sounds like there is a religion out there which doesn't require delusions.
Quasimagics
Wasn't that god in the challenge dungeon a light god?
John Balman
I'm half expecting the world leader to have a bloodline that lets him give blessings or some shit and he just faking it untill he makes it. LoL
ValVal
Is there a reason Jake hasn’t really talked with Villy for a while? I can’t remember if they said something early in the arc
Sebastian S.
Thanks for the chapter. Waiting to hear Vilys opinion on this. Looking forward to Jake checking in with him after all that transpired.
Alex Cox
Watch 'The Great Bright One' be Eversmile with a flashlight under his chin
John Balman
Jake is Jake and he just doesn't realize how much he breaks the curve
SmokeJam
So... Why exactly is Jake so desperatly trying to hide his identity and his power on this 2nd planet again? Thought he made up his mind to just be honest after the last interaction with the first planet. I understand he didn't want to shock them too much, but it really doesn't fit his usual mindset or his Path. A few books ago, when he tried to supress his actual skills, even his Bloodline railed. I understand curiosity with this weird overpopulated Lightbulb loving planet and trying to be social, but they are so weak, he doesn't even consider them as allies. Why is he so fixated on getting brownie points with some randoms he will never see again? There seems to be no actual reason for this mucking around. Even more considering that the Voice of the Lightbulb has to be someone with a high ranked Blessing and should know about the Viper and him.
Nick Nicholson
Why is he holding back? Doesn’t make any sense to me
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! I don’t understand why he would hold back at all, much less hold back that much. He’s impatient to kill the Prima Guardian, and they’re weak - being a monster is how he convinces them to let him get to it.
Sharodin
Thanks for the chapter! I enjoy the story a lot. However, it seems to me that after the Nevermore arc, this one has shorter chapters where not much happens in each one, and the "holy moly" moments of intense story writing are few and far between (think fight vs Valdemar, for example). These last few chapters in particular, nothing of note or exciting happens. It's becoming a bit ... mellow. I hope that it's just this prima guardian arc, and afterwards the story picks up steam again!
Zack Leach
What if, hear me out, this is drazkill's home planet? (sorry if misspelled)
Eltirno
No way will Villy pretend to be something he's not to a bunch of weak-ass humanoids. We're probably looking at a Wizard of Oz situation.
Anime Problem
Is this planet a Mormon joke
Andromeda Adams
I do wonder if this guy is the bright one’s chosen. I also hope Jake plays it up and one shots their Prima Guardian! TYFTC!
Andromeda Adams
Welcome!

Jake didn’t have the weekend off, and he got to kill things. He’s really not that hard to please.
Sean
It sounds almost like the leader of the planet set up the cult knowing if they didn't they'd have to deal with thousands of gods making a mess of the place. For a world this advanced with this high of a population there are probably some good bloodlines and records mixed in that would look appealing for some minor blessings. They probably saw all that and started crafting a religion with the help of their leaders to keep the peace.
Harbby

A. B. Edwards
What the hell is up with this world? Elves, light magic, plastic, the Great Bright One (Cheesiest name for a God ever and I love it). I can't tell if they are really as the attendant said or are really some crazed cult that sacrifices their billions of D grades like the Holy Church. I know Jake said he did not get Holy Church vibes but I am. With just how many people they have and using D-Grades like batteries (though it is implied they are not sucked dry and sacrificed), I can't help but feel the Great Bright One is some small, two bit God of the Holy Pantheon and this God will crap themselves when they learn who Jake is.
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Namorat
Usually I would a story beat build up like this would necessitate that Jake hid his strength. But in this story? I can almost believe it will end up being just a silly little thing Jake did while overcomplicating everything. That said, I am looking forward to him releasing his full power, regardless of the specific circumstance :)
Tommy
Fully expecting the “voice” to either be a wizard of Oz type person who has an artifact that hands out minor blessings and he knows he has conned a whole planet… Or a total megalomaniac nutter Edit: maybe those two things are actually the same haha
Tommy
Welcome!
J W
Please tell me Jake's super special ring allows him to kill world leaders and steal their key halves. Having to play nice all time will get real boring
Ty Cooper
Do you think Jake has enough ritual knowledge to make a real magic circle to empower himself while in the circle? I am getting pretty curious about this Bright One. Wonder when Villy will give Jake the true story of this God after meeting the Voice. Love when Villy gives all the details on lowly gods and all the snark.

I really wanted to make a joke about ordering the Holy Mother on Wish … but I guess they aren’t that bad. Delusional yes but that doesn’t seem to be a rare occurrence in the multiverse- let’s wait and see.
Phallusar
When the term cult is broad enough to encompass most (all?) of the big denominations today, but we only use it as a way to slur a particular set of beliefs, you forget that in times of many religions that referring to them as a cult was accepted, inoffensive, and accurate.
