Chapter 779
"Do you really need to do this?" Malik's expression was now very stiff, and his old face was flushed with embarrassment.
Because the head of the ancient family of Hydra pays great attention to his appearance in ordinary times, he is always dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and even his hair has to be combed meticulously. But now he was naked, smeared with colorful paint, wearing only a bearskin, and a Viking-style horned helmet on his head.
"The last time I saw someone dressed like this was when President Ronald Reagan cut the funding of a psychiatric hospital. ”
"Hmm—" Evenson's throat throbbed several times before he could barely hold back the laughter that almost came out. Quickly turned his back and picked up something, and took the opportunity to rub his cheeks, which were a little sore because he was trying to keep his expression, "You are going to meet an Asgardian god, and you must naturally dress in accordance with other people's aesthetics." ”
"Of course, this is your first time in the audience, so you should be more solemn. As he spoke, Evenson placed a golden basin filled with white powder in front of Malik, and whether or not you want to wear it in the future depends on God's will. ”
Malik rolled his eyes helplessly, and the first thing he felt sincerely praying for was to hope that the new god he believed in would be able to identify with the aesthetics of modern civilized society a little.
That's right, Malik has now decided to convert. After some persuasion from Evenson, he decided to lead his family into the glory of Hela, the goddess of death. As for the hive of their original faith, let him rot and die in the land of exile. But considering the investment that Hydra has made in him for 3,000 years, it is too cheap for him to do so, so the biochemical lab seems to be a good place for him to go as well.
In the future, find an opportunity to catch him back, and throw him directly into the biochemistry laboratory for a full range of slice research, and if you can't study it thoroughly, ask the umbrella company to send experts to come over for a joint consultation, it's a big deal to share data, anyway, you must study him clearly.
But then again, it seems strange that a simple conversation can change a family's devotion for 3,000 years, but it's actually a little bit better.
Because the belief system of the ancient family of Hydra is not a blind faith, but a very rational and utilitarian one.
Their faith cannot be said to be unreligious, lasting for 3,000 years, and they regularly perform a ritual similar to a living sacrifice on their brothers and sisters, for which they have probably sacrificed no less than a thousand people over such a long time. I'm afraid that such a long history of faith is unique on earth, if this belief can be put on the surface, maybe... The Koreans have already applied for the World Heritage Site. The hive is a Korean Smecta!
But instead of worshipping the hive from the bottom of their hearts, they expect to share with them the right to rule the world when they return. So at the end of the day, they are serving a powerful force that can suppress the whole world, and what they believe in is that boundless power, which can be summed up as themselves.
In fact, this is the same as the belief of most people in the world. They bow down to the gods, and all they want is to make a fortune while they are alive, and they can go to heaven in peace and stability after they die. I don't know much about the teachings of religion, and I don't seem to care about the precepts of the puritans. The only thing that was done was to be explicitly characterized as idolatry in the way of deceit.
You don't do what I advocate, and you do what I explicitly forbid. So if God really exists, and bless these people, it would be nice not to kick them to death.
So this belief is very easy to change, as long as the new person has more power and can give them more power.
According to Evenson, Hela, the goddess of death, is the eldest princess of Asgard, the first heir to the throne, and the leader of the legion. If this identity is converted, it is the princess of the Overseer Regent!
"The Hive is just an early test piece of the Kree Empire, a high-level cannon fodder, but it's just a slave. And Asgard is famous in the universe, even when the Kre Empire is the strongest, he does not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Asgard, and even has to bow down, the difference between the two relative identities is not half a star. ”
This person has to die more than people and have to throw goods more than goods, which is really a bit worse than Hela in terms of setting. Malik then asked, "This goddess of death... How's the power?"
"Hmph..."Evenson sneered, as if the other party had asked a very ridiculous question, "If the hive is in front of Thor, the god of thunder, it is estimated that it will be worth 80 yuan." ”
"But Hela is the strongest of Odin's three children, she was the vanguard of the Legion when Odin founded the country, and Asgard's fame in the universe is at least half of the credit. ”
"Her strength was so great that even Odin feared her that after the failure of her rebellion, Odin could not destroy her, but could only design to imprison her at the cost of the death of the most elite Valkyrie legions. ”
"The Valkyrie Legion... It was a powerful legion that Thor, the god of thunder, wanted to mix into, but this fantastic legion was completely annihilated by her alone, and in an instant. ”
"Such a powerful force," Malik swallowed, this is amazing, but..."She's imprisoned?"
What kind of fate do you think we have? The first god we entered was exiled to an alien planet, and we haven't found our way home for 3,000 years, and now this new god, who is more noble and powerful, has also been imprisoned. Is this who we believe in who is unlucky, or who is unlucky, who we believe?
"It's nothing to worry about. Evenson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hela's prison is closely related to Odin's life, once Odin dies, she will immediately regain her freedom, and now... Odin is running out, and it will be three or five years at most before he will be released from prison. ”
Malik breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the goddess's captivity would be like a beehive, and it would take another three thousand years, when the daylilies would be cold and fossilized.
"And this is a rare opportunity, because of her years of captivity, and Odin's deliberate erasure of information about her, so that many people have forgotten about her existence, and there are no believers. So now you offer the word of faith to it... Hum... This is the so-called icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow. ”
"Yes, yes," Malik nodded, it was a great time to offer his faith, but then he asked, "but... What rights can she share with us?"
That's what Malik cares about the most, we give faith to get benefits, it's a good thing that you're noble and powerful, but if you don't give us benefits, then I'm sorry, we don't know each other.
"She won't give you any power. Evenson's words made Malik's eyes widen and he almost didn't jump up. But he said slowly: "Power has always been earned by yourself." ”
Malik has just returned to normal, and you are panting like Lao Tzu, "So... How much power do you think we can fight?"
"You can imagine," said Evenson, raising an eyebrow in a bewitching voice, "Hela has no followers now, and after you consecrated her faith, you were her first disciples, but what could the first disciples achieve? ”
"Pope...?" Malik was thrilled, Peter, the head of Jesus' disciples, was the first pope of the Holy See, and how great was the power of the Holy See in ancient Europe?
Although the Holy See is in decline now, it is because God and his old man have never appeared to the spirit, but even so, the influence of the Holy See in the world today is still very huge. And now that the god himself really exists, and with this real backer, the power of the pope will never decline.
"Probably not... So domineering. Evenson furrowed his eyebrows, "Your official title may be High Priest, or Chief Priest, but it doesn't matter. "With Hela, you dare to be the emperor?
"As for power... Probably not as big as the Pope. ”
Seeing Malik's puzzled eyes, Evenson explained, "After all, this god is real, and she can't rule without ruling her, so she is both a god and a king, so the ruling power of the kingdom is still in her hands, but since she claims to be a god, she naturally has to respect her identity, and it is not good to personally intervene in matters of faith, so it is in your hands." ”
"That's right..."Malik thought about it, God does not appear so the Pope can catch it, but since he is a god every day, there are naturally many things that are not under his control. But although I understand, I always feel a little unwilling to have something less.
"These losses of yours can be made up for in other ways. Evenson laughed.
"In what way?" asked Malik eagerly.
"Your previous dream was to rule the world, that is, the earth. Evenson said with a little disdain, "This may be the highest dream for you, after all, in your eyes, the earth is everything." But if you look at the whole universe, what is the earth?"
"A small galaxy in the galaxy with only a rudimentary civilization, in the eyes of those highly civilized aliens, looking at you, the ruler of the earth, may be the same as you watching the monkey king in the monkey group in the animal channel. ”
Malik's face darkened, should he say that ignorance is a blessing? Imagine the vastness of the universe, imagine the 3,000 years of hard work of those advanced civilizations, the Kree Empire, Asgard, and his own family, and what a funny thing it is to intrigue and struggle for power over the years.
"And if you become the chief priest of Hela. Evenson smiled, "You are the place where power spreads, but it is not only the earth, think of the territory of Asgard." ”
"Nine Realms..."Malik's eyes lit up, he was the first believer of Hela, that is, the high priest of Asgard, and all the territories and all the people of Asgard were lambs under his own management.
Would you rather be a village chief who says yes, or would you rather be a vice president, even though this vice president is just a spare tire?
"What are the Nine Realms?!" Malik was already very satisfied, but Evenson was very disdainful, "Hela's ambitions have long surpassed Odin's, and she will lead the army of Asgard to fight a big country." ”
"And faith is actually a psychological problem, that is, the human heart, but the human heart is something that cannot be seen or touched, so whose faith is pious and whose faith is not pious, who you say generally has the final say in this kind of thing?"
Do you still need to ask, this kind of thing must be under the goddess, me, the high priest, who has the final say!
"So you can set up an Inquisition, as long as you can find out the mind and preferences of the goddess. The power of the Inquisition would be far greater than that of any secular judiciary. As long as you don't go against the will of the goddess, you can put the prime minister of the kingdom to death with a single empty word. ”
Isn't this the secret service that carries out the will of the monarch to eliminate dissidents? Malik immediately thought of the East and West Factories, and he knew very well where the power of these secret services would swell as long as he obeyed the will of the monarch. Oh, if my Malik family can usher in such a future in my hands, it will be truly glorious!
"Of course, to be able to do these things well, it naturally requires personal ability. If you can't figure out the context of the goddess, it's best not to fool around, otherwise you accidentally hit the horse's hooves, and she is not a soft-hearted person. ”
"I get it. "Isn't this just the usual work to please the master, figure out the master's thoughts, and always pay attention to the master's hints.
"Good. Malik slapped his thigh, "How do I show my devotion to this goddess now?"
"Audience. Evenson smiled and said, "If you wish, I can arrange for you to meet the goddess at once." ”
"Well, without further ado, let's get started right now. Malik looked very eager. But Stephanie, who had been beside her and didn't speak, said hesitantly: "Father... Shouldn't you inform the other families about this kind of thing?"
"Haha, silly girl, how can this mouthful of fat be sent to others?"
Stephanie immediately realized that if she took refuge in the goddess of death now, that was the first generation of believers, and then developed other families to take refuge, then they would be late to the beginning, and they could only be regarded as second-generation believers. In this way, their own family can firmly suppress them in terms of reputation.
In this way, Malik endured the shame and changed into the bearskin clothes he had worn before, knelt on the ground reverently and shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to the golden basin filled with white powder, but when the matter came to an end, he hesitated, because the white powder was nothing else, it was all ashes, and it was more prudent to grasp these things with his hands, but in the end he gritted his teeth and picked up a large handful, and then he slowly held these things in front of his face, and mustered up all his strength to blow forward.
"Gather the dust of bones and dedicate it to the god of death!"
