Chapter 45: Truth
What, what! Maki in the distance covered her mouth in disbelief. Although she was standing in the distance, she could still hear the conversation clearly. And after Mo said this, she exclaimed again.
Although I still feel very unbelievable in my heart. But I can't help but start recalling the bits and pieces of the beginning.
At the beginning, the information about the 'evil spirit' was brought back from the villager who was attacked by the 'evil spirit' and narrowly escaped.
It was a red 'demon' covered in a fog that could not see the exact figure...... It brutally slaughtered the hunting team, and its huge size and terrifying cry were enough to make the bravest warriors in the village tremble......
Later, a huge 'figure' that suddenly descended on the village, also shrouded in mist, called itself a god, and 'fought together' with another mist. Roaring, roaring, the two fought like a storm, sweeping through every corner of the village......
If, if these two are actually one existence, if all this is just a self-directed and self-acting of the other......
Thinking of this, she couldn't think about it anymore. This kind of thing, such a 'truth'...... It was cruel, both for her and for the other villagers.
A sharp, non-human laughter rang out and spread all around. It came from the mouth of the great serpent.
"Human, it seems that you are really different from those ordinary fools. It's really fun! β
Mo tilted his head, "Interesting? Fools? Hehe, in my opinion, you are the real 'interesting' existence now. But since you say so, do you mean you admit it? Admit that you are the culprit of it all. β
"What if you admit it, what if you don't admit it...... "The huge snake's head slowly lowered, and its floating body slowly descended until it landed on the ground, "I am the 'god' in charge of this mountain range, and everyone must pray to me and chant for me." Otherwise, all they will bring will be calamity and destruction! β
"It's ridiculous, it's just a 'dove occupying a magpie's nest', and he dares to call himself a 'god'." Mo pulled a sword flower and looked at the huge figure in front of him with a sneer.
There are indeed legendary 'gods' in this world. However, in the facts that Mo understands, the so-called 'gods' in this world exist mostly because of human beliefs. Gain strength and perpetuity by relying on the faith of human beings or living beings.
In a sense, from the moment they become gods, they have been transformed into another kind of spiritual thinking that is different from normal beings. The so-called belief in God, the spirit of the spirit and the eternal life, is just that.
And the huge snake demon in front of him did not have the purity of the real 'belief in God' in Mo's eyes. It's a 'mixture' of creatures, monsters, necromancers, mental thoughts, and so on.
If you are not mistaken, I am afraid that the other party's body was indeed a first-class basilisk monster. But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, it seems to have absorbed the superficial belief in gods and spirits of the people of the mountains and wilderness as nourishment, and gradually transformed itself into the current four dislikes, neither gods nor monsters.
If you really want to categorize. By the way, maybe it's called an evil god, no, it's the prototype of an evil god. With life and death and fear as a threat, with the faith of the human heart as nourishment, with flesh and blood as a sacrifice. The great evil god is first-class, and this is where the initial birth comes from.
"First he turned into a 'demon' and cornered the village, and then came out to save the world in the form of a 'god'. Finally, under the threat of fear, a further blood sacrifice is achieved. I have to say, although your plan is very clichΓ©, it is indeed a trick used by many 'evil gods', and it often works well. β
Saying this, Mo shook his head. He is both a 'god' and a 'ghost', holding 'death' in one hand and 'salvation' in the other. And the only choice that lowly humans can make is to sacrifice their fellow human beings in order to survive.
I have to say, this is really a sad and ridiculous story.
"Nope! You liar! You don't want to deceive us! The sacrificial leader, who had fallen to his knees, stood up with some strength and roared at Mo.
Then he crawled in front of the huge figure, knelt down and prayed with great devotion, "Lord God! You are our savior, our meaning! I look forward to seeing you as I do today! Rest assured, the lies of this sinner in front of you cannot shake our faith in you! β
Then he turned his head fiercely and shouted at the stunned villagers: "What are you doing in a daze!" Why don't you go and arrest this blasphemous sinner for me! β
"Oh? Are you really loyal to me? The huge snake body swayed, and its brown eyes stared at the small figure beneath him. The terrifying snake's mouth cracked in a strange arc. It's just the appearance of a giant snake, but it seems to show an 'expression' that only a person can have.
"Ah, yes! There is nothing false about my faith in you! Great God, please ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a huge black shadow instantly descended above his head. With a click, the upper body of the sacrificial leader disappeared into a bloody mouth in an instant.
Blood splattered, and less than half of the body that was left fell with a blood-red 'liquid', and finally mixed in a cloud of dust, becoming a stain on the earth.
All the villagers stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, and they only felt that their brains were blank. Incomprehensible, incredulous, terrified......
What the hell is all this......
"Well, I have received your loyalty and faith. Indeed, it is very delicious...... "The huge mouth of the snake is full of sharp teeth for some reason. Rubbing, crushing, on the edge of the corner of the mouth, you can see a trail of blood slowly flowing down.
Ahh......h Ahh......h
A villager who was watching the scene in front of him finally collapsed completely. The body fell completely and sat down, and his eyes lost all their sparkle. Even though he opened his mouth wide, he seemed to have completely lost all his strength because of fear, and he couldn't make a sound. It can only be so low, broken, silent, and let out a 'wail' of fear.
If there is one, there will be a second. Like dominoes, the villagers were all destroyed and sat down on the ground. Or hold your head, or open your mouth...... Unable to understand, unable to think, everything, at this moment, seems to have lost all its meaning.
"Huh? Shouldn't you be angry with me at this time? The giant snake glanced at Mo who was still looking at all this indifferently in front of him, and asked with a little doubt.
Mo glanced at the group of villagers who had been completely destroyed, then raised his head and looked at the huge snake face, "Why should I be angry? In order to be eaten by you, that sacrifice? β
"A man who pins everything on a vain being for the sake of his own desires; Even for the sake of his own status, he did not hesitate to personally send his compatriots into the 'human race' in the mouth of aliens? A 'fool' who doesn't want to admit the 'facts' until the end, but continues to deceive himself with his own 'lies', and still firmly believes in it? β
Mo shook his head, "For him, dying in the mouth of his own 'lie' is not the most suitable destination for him." What is there to be angry about. β
"Boom...... Human, you're really funny. The huge snake's mouth cracked in an arc again, and a hint of banter could be faintly seen in the brown eyes. It's like a 'person' looking at some interesting plaything......
