Chapter 41: The Time to Become a God!
Sauron's return did not alarm too many people.
Now Modo has attracted the attention of many outsiders, who are disguised as merchants or sailors, all secretly observing the place and secretly speculating about Sauron. The appearance of a new god is definitely not a trivial matter, if it weren't for the fact that the situation on the continent was already too chaotic, I am afraid that at this moment, Modo City would become the center of the entire world, attracting the attention of all forces. But even though the chaos has begun to spread, there are more and more people spying on Modo, but no one dares to stand up first.
After all, gods are gods!
When Sauron returned to Mordor, the first thing he did was to go to his temple. Looking at the statue in the center of the temple that resembled him, Sauron couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. From a mortal to a god, this wonderful state made him feel like he was standing in the clouds and looking down on all living beings. If he survived the catastrophe of the Sage safely, in the future, as long as Sauron himself did not die, he would be able to stand in the long river of history and watch the flowers bloom and fall, and the almost immortal nature of the gods allowed him to protect the important people in his heart and enjoy the longevity of life.
No one will feel that they are impatient!
No living creature wants to die out completely, and the existence of the gods will not be a boring tool, otherwise the Lord of Light and Mother Earth would not have bred the current goddess of agriculture. In fact, if it weren't for the outbreak of the Sage Cataclysm, many hedonistic gods, such as the goddess of love, the goddess of pleasure, the goddess of dance, etc., would have responded to the prayers of the believers and started a new pleasure and enjoyment, or sent an avatar to find new things and explore the mysteries of the multiverse.
Of course.
Most of these gods have protectors, they are gods of a certain lineage, and they do not have much ambition to expand their priesthood, so the joy of life is in the pursuit of things that make them happy. Unless it's a god war with a certain god, or something big about the god system you belong to. Otherwise, their real life is very leisurely, squandering their endless time. Of course, there are also some strange things in the gods, so lazy that it is too much trouble to even answer the prayers of the believers, and there is basically no need to say much about the fate of such strange things.
The goddess of dance had a time of depravity.
Indulging in forbidden pleasures, she rarely responds even to her followers, and if she hadn't been forcibly straightened back by other friendly gods, she would have been completely spoiled by the Night Lady.
The world of the gods is like that.
There are conscientious gods such as the Lord of Light, the God of Justice, the God of Observation, etc., and there are also leisurely gods such as the Goddess of Love, the Goddess of Dance, the Goddess of Joy, etc., as well as the God of Exploration and Travel, who is bored and likes to run around, and the God of knowledge who is addicted to the ocean of knowledge and likes to preserve all kinds of civilization materials. By the way, I have to mention the evil gods who are busy with all kinds of conspiracies, the chaotic camp gods with their own comic attributes, plus the goddess of luck and the goddess of bad luck who have nothing to do all day long.
The last two twins of fate are typical loose guys who even respond to the prayers of believers from time to time!
They wander through the river of time, and from time to time the two sisters each make trouble for each other, and occasionally appear in the eyes of the world, but only care about what interests them.
When the gods reached the Cheng dù of the Twin Sons of Destiny, they seemed to become very free.
It seems that no one will provoke them without long eyes, even the main god with powerful divine power will maintain respect for them.
………………
Sauron still needs to complete the final step of the temple.
That is to inject a trace of his divine consciousness into the idol in front of him. If the gods are not in the mortal world, it requires a vast prayer ritual and eventually a projection of the gods will appear, and then the entire process of opening the temple will be completed. Sauron himself was still on the material plane. Therefore, I can only come by myself and integrate part of my divine consciousness into the temple. From now on, he could know the one in the temple at any time if he wanted to. When this is the need to consume divine power.
The statue of the god appeared with a faint radiance of divine power, and finally it seemed to come to life, and the eyes of the sculpture surrounded the power of divinity.
This is the 'palace' of the gods in the mortal world.
If Sauron returns to the kingdom of God in the future. As long as he doesn't worry about consuming divine power, then he can incarnate and descend into the temple at any time.
The ceremony of canonization is almost ready.
Now the last thing is the emblem of the church, which also represents the emblem of Sauron, and the high priest does not dare to make his own opinions, and in the end it is up to Sauron to decide for himself.
The emblem of the gods has a special meaning!
But it can't be too complicated for people to recognize, so it's inconvenient for believers to walk in the mortal world, but it can't be unintelligible, it's best to recognize it at a glance and feel that it's not clear and very pretending to be the kind of holy emblem.
"Emblem?"
Sauron couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking about what kind of emblem he should use to represent himself.
Abyss. Shade. Slaughter.
Half-elves, wanderers, pirates.
Sauron had seen many emblems, but he was a little embarrassed when he asked him to make one for himself.
However, he is not a person who likes to get tangled, so he quickly came up with the idea.
The black earth, mixed with dark red tones, which represents the breath of the abyss, the shade of gray, marching forward in the slaughter, he walks in the turbulent year of chaos.
Sauron looked up at the idol in front of him and quickly found inspiration.
Under the influence of divine power, he directly changed matter, and quickly formed the appearance of an emblem.
In the black, barren and blood-stained land, surrounded by gray shadows, the figure of a wanderer shrouded in a cloak, his gaze calmly staring into the distance, as if he was looking at the future, as if he was guarding something.
Very simple emblem.
At first glance, it is also impressive, very easy to recognize, and there is a kind of pretending style that is not aware of it.
The only downside is that it doesn't seem to have much to do with the Half-Elf Priesthood, but Sauron doesn't seem to care much about that, as he makes a emblem that represents himself. To him, the half-elf was only his priesthood, but it did not represent all of him. Moreover, judging from his figure, Sauron himself could easily recognize the characteristics of the half-elves.
If someone with a heart looks closely at this emblem, they can see that Sauron's ambition is not in the half-elves.
Shadows, killing, breath of death.
The whole emblem gives people a depressing feeling, as if they are looking into the future, seeing some terrible sights, like a watchman walking in the shadows and killing.
Sauron used his divine power to complete the emblem, and finally injected his own strength, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
The high priest next to him had a strange expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
There are very few gods who use themselves directly as their emblems, and the one in the past is the 'Dark Maiden', whose emblem is a drow elf girl who dances naked with a silver sword under the full moon. Now that she had already fallen, the emblem of Sauron's zuò couldn't help but make the high priest think of this god, so the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
The Dark Maiden is a good and tragic deity.
However, the master is an orderly and evil being, and the emblem he chooses may have a special meaning.
………………
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
When the Half-Elf Temple is completely completed, the time will come for Sauron to become a god!
The entire city of Mordor was in intense preparations, and countless eyes were looking at the overseas island, and a large number of devotees began to gather, and they held daily prayer ceremonies, so that the power of faith was condensed in the sky above the temple. The priests changed into brand new robes, bathed and changed their clothes quietly, waiting for the moment when our lord Sauron was made a god!
They will be baptized again.
After Sauron is officially canonized, he will give them divine magic, and at that time, the traces left on them by the original 'gods of half-elves and wanderers' will be completely erased!
They serve only one master, one god of faith.
That's Sauron!
………………
The light of the morning sun shines.
The sound of neat prayers echoed over the city of Modo, and tens of thousands of half-elves gathered around the square, surrounding the temple and waiting for the divine moment to come!
this day.
Our lord Sauron exalted the throne of God and officially canonized it!! (To be continued......)
