Chapter 21 - Devil Tribe?

"Is he going to transform?"

Raj stares at the sleeping Lizu. 

Previously when Raj clicks on the confirm button, the tiny lizard slowly closes its eyes, and a notification appears in front of his vision.

[Rebirth of Mutated Leopard Gecko commence: Remaining Time 12 hours]

Moreover, Raj also obtained 2000 FP from the tiny lizard as he gave it a name.

"This lizard is quite extraordinary, it could see a God's Particle with naked eyes. It must have a rare hidden ability." Raj murmurs to himself.

While Raj was thinking about it, he sensed someone approaching his location.

"A devotee!"

It isn't strange that a devotee visits the place of their God, so he doesn't think much about it.

Besides, after the John incident, Raj actually anticipates that someone will eventually visit him.

Compared to commanding the entire village, it is considerably better to command only an influential person. It will greatly reduce the consumption of FP.

Hence, Raj plans to command a powerful and influential person for the God sacrifice protocol.

After waiting for a bit, Raj notices a tall and mighty monkey figure appearing from the long-winded bushes.

However, in contrast to monkeys, he doesn't have a tail on his back as if he was born without a tail.

Mahaveer soon bends down his knees and murmurs upon looking at the oval stone.

"Great Mountain God, d-did you really save him?"

However, no response was heard even after waiting for one minute.

Suddenly, Mahaveer saw a tiny black lizard sleeping beside the oval shape of a stone statue.

"Great Lizard King!" 

During the festival, along with the idol of Great Mountain God, a black lizard that always sits beside the oval stone, is also worshipped by devotees. The villagers commonly named it Great Lizard King and is considered to be the divine Mount of Mountain God.

However, Mahaveer found some abnormalities on the Lizard King's body. There were some lines on his face and two small sharp horn-like structures appearing above his head.

"Mutation?"

Mahaveer quickly guesses the reason for it. He had once seen a mutant snake that was quite different from its species. 

Soon Mahveer glanced at the oval idol of his God. 

"Great Lord, you are really unpredictable!"

Shortly after saying this, Mahaveer plucked some red flowers from the nearby plant and placed them on the oval statue's feet.

"Almighty Lord, please protect us from all evil. My forefather told me how great you were in the past. How you sacrifice yourself to protect your devotee. In your care, the devil tribe will never be extinct from this world."

Upon hearing his words, a confused and shocked expression appeared on Raj's nonexistent face.

"Devil Tribe? Weren't we on the injustice side? How come you guys really think of yourself as Devil?"

From the stone tablets, Raj only learned about the awful situation of his devotee who lived in the Primary Mountain.

In contrast to them, the outside world is the actual devil who continuously tortured the people of Primary Mountain.

Furthermore, God's particle got its sentience just a few hours ago. In the past, Primary Mountain God never existed. So, how come their primary God sacrifices for them?

"It must be fabricated tales told by the previous generation. So that the people believe in the Mountain God and never lose their faith in it."

Raj soon comes to conclusions

Even in his original world, there were many fabricated tales in many religions. It was a strategy to control the masses in one direction so that they always have faith in their God.

Moreover, due to their faith, the people of the primary mountain still don't lose hope in their life. Nonetheless, it also weakens them in some sense.

Raj was only confused by the word 'Devil Tribe.'

Nonetheless, with time he will eventually find out the truth behind it.

While Raj was in deep thought, Mahaveer began to leave the holy place.

Quickly Raj tried to see the status of the Monkey Man. As he was a swallow devotee, Raj could see some stats of him.

"Vanara Race!!"

'Didn't there also exist Vanara Race in ancient Indian mythology? Is he the same as them?' Raj thought to himself.

However, upon closely looking at the monkey man's back, Raj found that he was tailless. Moreover, there was no sign of the broken tail.

It meant he had somehow lost his tail, or he was born tailless.

According to the Indian Mythology text, Vanaras were a divine race that somewhat resembles monkeys. 

Furthermore, they have an extraordinary physique and a mighty tail that can increase or decrease on their will.

Raj remembers the Vanara Race from the Indian Mythology only because of an extraordinary warrior who had multiple divine abilities on his body. Moreover, he was somehow the son of the Wind deity.

"Maybe the Vanara Race of this world has some relation with the Indian Mythology," Raj asserted.

Raj had a shocked countenance while thinking about it.

'The Supreme Realm holds many secrets. Some of them even connected to the Earth.'

Looking at the departing Vanara, Raj made a decision.

This Vanara will be an excellent person who can help him in the Sacrifice protocol.

Being a Level 10 character is a perfect explanation of this Vanara's Strength. Moreover, all of his current stats were great.

If not Raj being kind towards his followers, he would make a scheme to obtain the body of the Vanara.

Who doesn't want to obtain a superior body?

Nonetheless, Raj has an exclusive perk of infinite growth. So, he doesn't care much about the initial start. 

Besides, according to the fundamental knowledge, the will depends on the individual soul and body. Hence, Raj also doesn't want to destroy a powerful devotee that has a strong will.

At this time, it is critical to groom powerful warriors.

Soon, Raj transmits his command to Mahaveer's mind.

The command was simple and not much complicated, but there is a divine presence on it.

Unbeknownst to Raj, this command will completely change the fate of Mahaveer.
