All forty-seven of them had now become Cidi Devotees.
Vikrant didn't understand how it had happened, but in his final moments, he couldn't help but marvel at the Cidi Sect's formidable corrupting power — capable of turning even the God of Deceit's Devotees.

Ashu had already begun the ritual sacrifice, offering Vikrant directly to the evil god Cidi.
Only a patch of blood remained on the grass in the dense forest.
With that, he had wiped this entire faction clean.
"Listen up," Ashu began assigning new tasks to the Cidi Devotees. "Our Cidi Sect still needs to expand. We must not only recruit ambitious locals, but also seek out potential talents from outside, like those from the Kingdom of Ankgarde."
Ashu's plan was not to let these Devotees fall into complacency and pleasure, but to grow bigger and stronger.
Within the Divine Mother Goddess faction, he had risen to become a branch Bishop—but only a branch Bishop, not the Pope at headquarters.
