Epilogue to Volume 2 Pravda No. 535 Special Issue

Staff Writer: Aureliano

Just yesterday, the internet in Solomon City was finally restored.

This also means that the three major disasters brought to Solomon City by the rise of the magic tide: water outage, power outage and network outage, have all been resolved.

On the day of the connection, a netizen from Aguileia came to interrogate me, saying that he prayed every day, why God punished him by cutting him off water and thirst, not having access to the Internet, having no electricity, and watching the monsters attack his town and harm his people.

Here, I would like to share a story with you, hoping that believers can understand the moral of it:

Once upon a time, humans walked and multiplied freely on this land, living happily and happily.

One day all the angels gathered together before God, and the devil mixed in with them.

God said: "Devil, where do you come from?" “

The devil said, "I am coming from purgatory." ”

God said, "Have you passed through the plane of the Lord?" Can you see the human beings I have created? Do they still love me, respect me, and glorify me?"

The devil said, "How can human beings believe in God for no reason?" It's not because you protect them and their families, you protect everything about him, and their happiness is given by you. I bet if you ruin everything for them, they'll curse you in return. ”

God said, "Of course. You can do as much as you want, but if you lose, I will punish you. ”

With God's permission, the devil began to weave a conspiracy. It first released all kinds of terrifying and transcendent monsters from the plane, and let them freely invade the human race.

In the blink of an eye, countless people have lost their families, loved ones, and possessions.

So at the behest of God, the archangel Michael came to earth and found the emperor of the time, Constantine I, and told him how to open a factory, how to organize an army, and how to fight against the supernatural monsters.

Organized by Emperor Solomon and his officials, the faithful began to build walls, deploy their weapons against the invasion of supernatural monsters, and beg God for protection day and night.

God said, "Behold, though you have brought evil upon them, they still exalt me." ”

The devil said, "Of course, they just follow inertia, like a flock blindly following the leader." If there were no emperor and empire, would they still believe in you as they always did? ”

God said: "Let it go, but if you lose, I will punish you." ”

With God's permission, the devil began to send plagues to Solomon's empire.

Emperor Constantine's will was blinded, and he disbanded the loyal Solomonic Guard, and instead recruited cheaper, Godless foreign mercenaries, filling the army with all sorts of evil thoughts.

He also expanded the bureaucracy, making them greedy and persecuting the people. Groups of people even abandoned their hometowns and fled to the wilderness in order to avoid taxes.

So the Solomonic Empire gradually weakened, but the devil's tricks did not stop there, it cunningly realized that the strength of the empire came from the development of science and technology and the strength of industrial productivity.

It opened the entrances to the three sub-planes, spreading the evil tide within, destroying almost all of the Empire's scientific research and means of production.

Eventually, a hundred years later, the weakened Western Solomonic Empire collapsed, destroyed at the hands of rebellious foreign mercenaries, and died from the rupture of its own industrial production chain and the loss of technological civilization.

Patches of churches were destroyed, the faithful were slaughtered, and those who survived were left to sit on the rubble, digging for wild herbs and earthworms in the dirt to eat.

"Lord, why have you forsaken us......" cries of sorrow echoed over the ruins of the empire.

At this time, the archangel Gabriel came to the world, and he instructed the only scholars to form the Holy See, to maintain the flame of civilization, and to educate the unbelievers with the teachings of God, to convert the barbarians to civilization, and to sow the light of God again.

Despite the collapse of the once glorious empire, countless nations were built on the ruins of the empire, and more churches expanded from the south of the continent to the far north, spreading God's will.

"You see, even if you destroy the nations of humanity, you destroy churches and faiths, humanity can rebuild them and keep the splendor of faith and civilization alive," says God. ”

The devil said, "Of course, because they instinctively gather together in the event of a natural disaster, like a herd of zebras that have been scattered, and eventually elect a new leader and establish a new nation." If I make them suspicious of each other and betray each other, will they still maintain their faith? ”

God said: "This is your last chance. If you lose, I will punish you. ”

So the devil used his killer trick: it spread the secret knowledge of evil, taught humans how to collect spiritual materials from supernatural monsters, how to make supernatural potions, and how to take them to obtain supernatural abilities.

Thus a large number of transcendents were born, who first began to annihilate the transcendent monsters, but these monsters were quickly killed.

The desire to become stronger and the thirst for supernatural power dominated their will, and they began to kill each other, plundering each other's supernatural powers and supernatural characteristics.

People gradually became suspicious of each other. Ordinary humans fear the power of the transcendental, and the transcendent regard the ordinary as a mustard. In order to gain power and status commensurate with their strength, the transcendent began to interfere in the upper echelons of the politics of various countries, causing a great deal of turmoil and power reshuffle.

This system of domination, based on supernatural strength, is unstable because the group of transcendents is promoted too quickly. Often, in the previous month, a transcendent had murdered a local lord and gained the power to rule, and this month he was killed by a more powerful new transcendent.

So the wars continued, the dynasty fell, the crown fell to the ground, the town was slaughtered, and the bones were everywhere.

At this time, the archangel Raphael came to earth and taught the Holy See how to use the anti-magic magnetic field to restrain the use of supernatural powers. It allows the Holy See to educate the populace that supernatural powers are harmful and evil.

It tells the princes and nobles of all nations how the transcendent ones destroy our existing world:

The transcendent do not produce, but only plunder. They pursue to constantly upgrade and become stronger, and they will be promoted and strengthened, and a lot of manpower and material resources will be consumed in the process, and when they die one day, these resources will be wasted, and none of them can feed back to the people.

They have destroyed towns and razed villages with no mercy at every turn. They have lost their human empathy and do not even consider themselves human, but instead see themselves as part of the devil and are willing to fall and not repent.

Under God's teachings, the Holy See began to ban supernatural powers, and the Templars and witchers roamed the kingdoms to capture the rebellious transcendents and remove them after trial. The nations also began to control the people and order, teaching them to reject evil and turn their hearts to light.

So all three of the devil's tricks failed. It bowed its head in the light of God and tried to quibble, when the archangel Uriel descended with a flaming sword and threw the devil directly into purgatory, never to be turned over.

Be patient, dear reader, and ponder: What tribulation in your life is not a test that God has sent to you?

If you succumb to the ordeal, then the devil's will will succeed; However, if you strive for self-improvement, then God will bless you and free you from suffering. Whatever you have lost, you will be given back a hundredfold.
