Chapter 365: The Power of the Gods
After the war, the slaughter outside the city was over, and the severed heads were piled up into the Kyoto Temple, and the corpses were thrown into a large pit dug by the captives for burial. By the time of the next year, the land will be fertile with blood and buried corpses, and it will even be full of flowers, but who knows that under these flowers there will be countless bones.
The Maxian Empire rose back from the dead, not only defeating a strong enemy, but also almost destroying the entire main army of the opposing side. Next, the territories lost by the empire will be recovered one by one, and the powerful enemy coalition will no longer exist, all of this is brought by the gods, and now the sky city of the gods is not far away, floating more than ten meters above the ground, looking out from the city, you can see the huge shadow that is extremely shocking at a glance.
The Emperor of the Empire, Staven, 33 years old, stood at the top of the city, looking in the direction of the Pioneer spacecraft with great reverence. 12 years ago, Staven took over the throne of his father who died on the battlefield, and at that time the entire empire had inevitably declined, in these 12 years, Staven tried his best to revive the empire and restore its former glory, but the enemy became stronger and stronger, the territory of the empire was occupied one by one, and several battles failed, Staven not only lost his most respected general, but also lost the hope of the empire's revival.
At the beginning of this war, Staven was ready to be martyred, and the Maxian Empire only had emperors killed in battle, not cowards who surrendered. In the face of the holy city that has been surrounded, Staven issued a call for the last battle, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, even the high priest of the temple can't stop the attack of the enemy dragon knight, seeing that the holy city is about to fall, Staven in despair is even ready to die, but at this time, the gods came.
The legendary gods descended on the holy city. Not only that, but with the arrival of the gods, not only did they defend the holy city for the Maxian Empire, but even caused the invincible enemy coalition to be wiped out in an instant. Isn't this the attachment of the gods? Isn't this the will of the gods to protect the Empire of Marcia? After going from death to life, and from life to victory, Staven was ecstatic and filled with devotion and gratitude to the gods. He swore that he would always be the most faithful and godly servant of the gods in this life, including his children and grandchildren.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone over to take a look?"
Stavon had been standing at the top of the city and looking at the Pioneer spacecraft for some time, and it was already evening, hours had passed since Yasuo entered the Sky City, and as the sun set, the breeze blew up a little cool, and at the same time blew away the thick smell of blood in the battlefield.
A middle-aged man stood behind Staven's side. He was dressed in ornate official robes, and he looked like a close attendant or high-ranking official of the emperor. The cold wind blew, and seeing that Stavin couldn't help but tighten the cloak on his body, he couldn't help but take half a step forward and asked softly.
"It's the abode of the gods, how can you go there without the summons of the gods?" Staven replied calmly, although there was no tone in his words, but the middle-aged man's heart tightened, knowing that what he had just said was wrong. hurriedly answered and retreated.
Naturally, there are generals below to pursue the fleeing enemy army, and there are naturally officials of the empire to pacify and stabilize the order of the Holy City. As the emperor of the empire, Staven still stood firmly at the head of the city, looking at the Vanguard spaceship, and at the same time he was extremely envious that Yasuo could be summoned by the gods to enter the city in the sky, while as the supreme power of the world, he could only stand in the distance.
But. For Yasuo, Staven was only envious, after all, Yasuo was the high priest of the gods in the human world and the master of the temple. But if you can meet the gods face to face and listen to the teachings of the gods. Staven has no regrets in his life.
Just as Staven was looking forward to meeting the gods, suddenly the person behind him exclaimed, and Staven hurriedly looked at the Vanguard spaceship, only to see a light light under the spaceship, and a faint figure appeared in the light.
The light wrapped around the figure fell to the ground, and soon the light dispersed in all directions, and it became clear that the person standing on the ground was Yasuo, who had entered the Sky City before. I saw Yasuo standing in place, first saluting to the Sky City with the most noble courtesy, and then walking backwards and outward, until he was a hundred meters away from the Sky City, he saluted again before turning around and coming in the direction of the Holy City.
Seeing Yasuo come out, Staven couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly walked down the city to the city gate, when he just arrived at the city gate, Yasuo had already entered the city gate, and Staven hurriedly greeted him.
"Honorable High Priest ......."
"Your Majesty......."
The two sides saluted slightly, one represented the gods and was the highest priest of religion, and the other was the emperor of the empire and the secular ruler of the world, the two sides were equal in a sense, and in this Galenic world, the secular and the religious were not one, and religion was separated from the secular, if it were not for the enemy clamoring to destroy the holy city and tear down the temple, Yasuo, as the high priest, might not have gone to the battlefield.
"The gods bring the will." Knowing what Staven wanted to ask, Yasuo said in a pious tone: "The gods will stay in the Holy City for a short time, and when the sun rises tomorrow, the gods will enter the Holy City and go to the Temple, and at the same time open the door to the Divine Domain. ”
"Really? High priest, will I be able to see the gods? As you know, it was the gods who won this victory for us and restored the empire to its glory, and as the emperor of the empire, I wanted to thank the gods in person to serve the gods and ....... ”
"It doesn't have to be." Yasuo replied categorically, and the expression in Staven's feverish gaze instantly faded, and his expression became a little embarrassed, but then Yasuo's words gave him hope.
"The gods will not care about the rights of the world, let alone ask for anything from you, Your Majesty, the gods are omnipotent, as long as Your Majesty has a pious and respectful heart, it is enough. However, this is not too much of a problem for meeting the gods, so how about asking Your Majesty to go with me tomorrow to welcome the gods into the city? ”
"That's great! Of course! Staven nodded ecstatically, and even proposed a grand ceremony for the gods to enter the city. But before he could finish speaking, Yasuo reminded him that the gods don't value these worldly things, and the rituals are simple and don't need to be ornate and cumbersome, which will make the gods unhappy. This is also the will of the gods.
"I understand, I understand!" Staven said gratefully, thankfully Yasuo reminded him, otherwise he would have messed up with a hot head, and it would have been too late for the gods to blame.
That night, neither Staven nor Yasuo rested. Preparing for the next day's ritual for the gods to enter the city must be simple and solemn, which may sound a bit difficult, but it is still completely achievable for them.
In the early hours of the next morning, when the sun had just come out and the horizon was lit up white, two teams of Templar Guards and Royal Praetorian Guards were already waiting in front of the city, standing in two rows, dressed in ornate uniforms. Tall and energetic, Staven and Yasuo each changed into their own costumes that they only wore during the ceremony, and stood at the end of the two teams, waiting for the arrival of the gods.
Half an hour later, the sky was already bright, and when Stavin was wondering why the gods had not yet appeared, Yasuo beside him reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, the gods are here." ”
"Coming? Where is it? Staven looked ahead. But there was no shadow of the gods, and at this moment. As soon as the white light lit up from the Vanguard spacecraft, when the light dispersed, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared on the ground that had just been empty.
"This is the gods?" Staven stared intently, and when he saw that the two figures were just two very ordinary people, one of them was a man, not very tall. Dressed in silver close-fitting clothes, he has pale yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes like his hair. And there was also a yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed person beside him, but this was a little girl. Unlike the man, the girl had long hair and was wearing a strange outfit of brilliant colors. But other than that, I can't see anything special, is this what the gods are like?
Yasuo nodded firmly, for he recognized the man as the god he had met in Sky City with whom he had interacted with him. Of course, this so-called god is Su Yichen, and the little girl who accompanies him is Su Li.
Su Yichen and Su Li saw the procession to greet them from a distance, and walked towards Yasuo and them with a slight smile. The reason why it was just the two of them was decided after considering the special situation and discussion. Su Li is an intelligent life, and her special feature can be said to be the most powerful individual of the Pioneer spaceship, and Su Li is also the most suitable person for a base that is likely to be a cosmic civilization.
As for why the other person would be Su Yichen, on the one hand, it is due to the fact that Su Yichen had met with Yasuo and the two sides had exchanges. Second, Su Yichen had entered the Earth base and later the Pluto base, and he was more experienced than others in the situation of the legacy base of cosmic civilization. What's more, he is the commander of the Vanguard spacecraft, and at his strong request, everyone can only agree to contact him.
Of course, in addition to that, they are also fully prepared. Su Yichen was wearing a light spacesuit, and he also carried some necessary equipment with him, which was enough to protect his own safety. What's more, with Su Li's presence, with the civilization of this planet, there is hardly any existence that can threaten their lives, even if they enter the divine domain that may be the base, as long as they are careful, there will be no problem.
Walking forward, they soon came to a hundred meters away from the queue, and at this time Yasuo and Staven had already taken the initiative to meet them. Seeing Su Yichen and them coming, Yasuo fell to his knees with excitement and reverence, offering the most honorable courtesy to the gods in his heart. As for Staven, he was still puzzled by Su Yichen's ordinary appearance, and hesitated a little when saluting, but he finally knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Seeing Staven's performance, Yasuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. O people of the world! How do you know the greatness and omnipotence of the gods? The appearance is only the surface, and the god is only a god, so he has to appear in a unique way to shock people? On the contrary, the ordinary appearance is shown to the world, so that the respect and piety of the most gods in people's hearts can be distinguished!
Yasuo and Staven's performance all fell in the eyes of Su Yichen, of course Su Yichen expected this situation, in fact, they had made a plan before they set off, since they had already pretended to be the so-called gods, they had to pretend to be more real for convenience.
glanced at Su Li, Su Li nodded knowingly, and without seeing her make any movements, the whole person rose out of thin air and flew into the air under the stunned eyes of everyone. The wind in the air blew her long hair, her long skirt fluttered like a fairy, I saw Su Li stretch out her hand and point in a certain direction of the city, and a dazzling red light shot out like a sharp sword, and in the blink of an eye, in a burst of cracking sound, the corner of the city head was cut alive A big hole was cut, and the city stone like a hill was easily split and smashed to the ground along the city head in the outward direction.
Su Li's attack stunned everyone, none of them thought that a god who looked like just a little girl would have such terrifying powers. This kind of power is not something that people can resist at all, and even the high priest with the help of the power of the Ring of God may not be able to achieve such an effect, right? What's more, the other party can fly, isn't this the power of the gods? The temple guards who were standing in a line hurriedly knelt down, and the Emperor's guards knelt down one by one, paying homage to the gods with trepidation and shock.
At this moment, Staven regretted it, he knew that it was the god's displeasure with what he had just shown, it was the god's anger and display of power. As the emperor, Staven was not a fool, and in regret, he hurriedly saluted in a more reverent manner, changed one knee to two knees, and even bowed down on the ground.
"O Almighty God! Your power is the greatest power in the world of Galen, your kindness brings us light and hope, and your most faithful servant, Yasuo, is grateful for your ....... Seeing this scene, although Yasuo felt worthless for Staven's contempt, not only how to greet the gods is the most important, but how strong the worldly power is? Only the gods are the only and eternal beings. Immediately, Yasuo hurriedly saluted Su Yichen and shouted to show his devotion and respect for the gods.
Su Yichen gestured to Su Li, and Su Li, who was in the air, floated back to the ground, standing quietly beside Su Yichen as just now, looking no different from an ordinary little girl. But at this time, which Galen would dare to treat her as an ordinary little girl? As for Su Yichen, who has not moved, let alone the young gods, who are so powerful, Su Yichen's strength is even more unimaginable. (To be continued......)
