Chapter 22: The Collapse of the Old Age

On both sides of a chessboard, a hand shrouded in darkness threw a chess piece unhurriedly in the palm of its hand, and in front of it, black and white chess pieces were in a mess, and all forces on the chaotic chessboard were completely strangled together.

Knights, soldiers, castles, bishops...... No one was spared, and they were all caught up in great strife.

"It's really a chaotic situation......

The deep voice laughed, and the laughter was cold.

As he spoke, the pitch-black hand reached out to the chessboard, and lifted a silent black wargame holding a soldier, and in front of the black wargame was a white bishop in a robe, the silent soldier did not say a word, stepped forward, the spear in his hand was like a dragon running out, the white bishop in front of him didn't even make any resistance, and the spear directly pierced the body of the white bishop in front of him.

......

Somewhere, somewhere.

"Burn her, burn her, burn her!"

Under the dim sky, a young woman was tied to an altar made of firewood, and below the altar were a multitude of excited people and a preacher with a solemn expression.

The thinly dressed woman shivered in the cold wind, the bright blood had dried up on her clothes and turned a dark brown, and the bare arms and ankles were clearly visible with old and new scars.

"Witch Lilita, in the name of Servant of God Almighty, I ask you again, are you willing to confess your crimes of spreading plagues, using dark magic, and cursing humanity...... and many other sins, so that the Almighty Heavenly Father can forgive you and purify your body with fire. ”

In front of the woman, the preacher in a robe said with a blank face.

But in the face of the preacher's words, the woman, who was already scarred, gritted her teeth and said with difficulty.

"In the name of the Father, I have not done anything evil. ”

The preacher's brow furrowed, but he just said a word.

"For those who do not repent, the grace of God will not come to you, but you will be greeted only by eternal death. ”

As he spoke, a soldier next to the preacher dropped the torch in his hand.

In an instant, the firewood, which had long been covered with flammable materials, instantly ignited a fire, and soon burned to the woman's body.

The woman gritted her teeth and tried not to make a sound, but in the end she could not bear the pain of being burned by the fire, and a terrible scream came from the depths of the burning fire, and gradually, the voice weakened and ceased to be silent.

And in front of the sky-high fire, the preacher looked coldly down on the flickering flames in front of him.

"Stupid woman. ”

What is most important in this world? There is nothing more important than money.

Forgiveness, purification, is just a joke,

Some words that are useless at all, just perfunctory, anyway, this "witch" will still be burned to death, who let her spread herbs, relieve the poor people who have fallen into the plague, and stir up their use of holy water to make money.

Those who block money are demons and devils, and those who help them get rich are angels and saints.

The person who blocked him from obtaining the gold coin, no matter who it was, even if the Heavenly Father came himself, there was only one way to die, not to mention that this time this stupid woman was not the only one who blocked him, the preachers in several regions were disturbed by this stupid woman, and there were even some big people behind her, wouldn't it be normal for her to die.

The corners of his mouth were hooked into a smile, but the preacher's mouth was still reverent.

"May God forgive you for your sins...... Amen. ”

......

Looking down at the chessboard in front of him, the owner of the hand shrouded in darkness said casually as if he had seen the scene with his own eyes.

"How foolish is that a sincere saint is only weak if he has no strength, if he is merciful, if he is compassionate, if he is only evil, and if he fails, he is only inevitable. ”

"Not really. ”

Opposite the owner of the hand, the god shrouded in light only said calmly, and his gaze was not focused on the burning flames, but on the few young children in the crowd who were watching this scene among the adults, all of whom were taken in by the woman before her death.

Some of the young children in ragged clothes were as young as seven or eight years old, while others were as young as two or three years old. The young children were trembling and terrified at the sight of death and the death of their familiar relatives in front of them, some of them clenched their fists and their eyes almost bursting with fire, and if someone had not grabbed him, they would have rushed directly towards the preacher in front of them, but others seemed unusually silent, and the silence was terrifying.

"What do you see? ”

God said.

On the opposite side of the chessboard, the darkness held his forehead with his hand and glanced at it.

"Closeness, sympathy, pity, kindness, ignorant love...... But because of this, I also see anger, hatred, resentment, all kinds of unfathomable darkness. ”

"They will be the guardians of my teachings, my warriors. ”

God was noncommittal, and then said.

The cold pupils squinted, looking at the god in front of him, and the dark thing that couldn't see the face clearly grinned in an arc.

"Why, do the warriors of God choose such people who are full of resentment and coldness?"

"Those who fight the darkness must be filled with darkness in their hearts, and things that are too pure will be tainted in an instant, and the chaotic human nature will be more able to resist the temptation of darkness, just like the guardian angels who are tempted by you. ”

God said calmly.

And listening to God's words, there is no ripple in the cold pupils of the dark thing, and the guardian angel that God is talking about refers to the fall of angels thousands of years ago.

Angels were originally messengers of God, and their hearts were pure, but thousands of years ago, when human beings were just multiplying on the earth, the guardian angels and sons of God who guided human knowledge fell in love with human women.

Angels themselves have no material body, when the angel is in the heavenly realm, the angel is an illusory spirit, only when the angel enters hell, or the earth, he needs to have a material body that can be seen by humans, and after having a material body, the angel is also dragged down by the material body and has desires.

The guardian angel with lust eventually fell in love with a human woman, copulated with a human woman, and gave birth to giants who were infinitely powerful and penchant for cannibalism.

The giants wreaked havoc on the earth, once bringing humanity to the brink of extinction, so much so that the King of Angels was enraged and wiped out the giants on the earth, bringing all the guardian angels back to the heavenly realm and imprisoning them in a place on Mars on the fifth day of the heavenly realm.

But even so, the impact was still extremely profound, and those guardian angels privately passed on the knowledge of astrology, magic, alchemy, prophecy, etc., and these knowledge eventually spread across the earth, and was finally called black magic by humans.

And this incident directly led to the later war in which the snake people in the bottom of the sea took the opportunity to try to invade the earth, and the magnificent war between humans and monsters lasted for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many heroes emerged, if it were not for the angels on the side to help secretly, human beings would not be able to expel those snake people with steampunk-style technology from the earth.

Although this matter is over, in the eyes of people of insight, the hidden danger of human beings has been foreseen, after all, in these hundreds of years of war, the communication between humans and snake people has been too frequent, and no one can tell how much snake blood is now mixed in the human group.

Werewolves who can transform into wolves on full moon nights, blood-sucking blood-screws, and all sorts of other strange creatures are all things that have been bred over the past few hundred years, and these usually indiscernible aliens hide among humans, quietly dormant, waiting for the dark age when the submarine snake people return to the earth again.

And many monster trials and burnings at the stake are also to be able to get rid of those aliens, so they were born from this.

Because of this, since that time, God has rarely sent angels to the lower realm.

"Can the chaotic and chaotic human nature resist the temptation? All-knowing and all-powerful God, why don't you go and see what the future holds for those young children? But I don't think there is any need, Noah has been born, this chaotic and turbulent old era no longer needs to exist, the human beings mixed with the blood of the snake people have gradually lost the qualification to become the protagonists of the chessboard, and the humans who have become monsters are no longer humans, and it is time to welcome the advent of a new era. ”

"However, O all-knowing and all-powerful God, I hereby declare to you that, even as the New Age begins, humanity is inseparable from my bloodline, and the final victory will be mine. ”

In the midst of unbridled ridicule, the darkness turned into wisps and disappeared into the palace of the crystal sky, and on the opposite side of the chessboard, the god quietly looked down on the chessboard in front of him.

The words of darkness still echoed in the palace, but God was noncommittal.

"Really......"

As he spoke, the god lifted a white wargame in his hand, and in front of it was the black wargame that had killed the white bishop.

Touch it lightly.

The black wargame falls, and the white wargame falls.

If a man does not turn away from God, then God will not forsake him.

......

More than ten years later, in the luxurious palace, the warrior shrouded in armor held a blood-stained sword, it was silent, and the corpses of the armored guards were lying beside it, and in front of it was the king who was obsessed and trembling and leaning on the throne.

"No...... Don't kill me!!"

The king screamed in fear, making a sound like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and instinctively rubbed against the cold throne behind him, trying to make himself look inconspicuous, but the samurai in armor was unmoved, and strode forward.

The sword was already raised high, and the cold light flickered......

The sword fell.

"Boom!"

Blood flowed all over the ground, the king's pupils gradually froze and froze, and the silent warrior who had done all this turned and left without hesitation, and behind him, the fire burned brightly, turning the entire palace into a sea of fire that was even more monstrous than the fire more than ten years ago, like a sacred flame that cleansed the world from sin.

So far, all the people who had participated in the burning at the stake more than ten years ago, plotted to kill his ignorant first love when he was a child, and on his god-blessed path of revenge, they have all been killed...... No one was spared.
