The temple of the dinaire is burning.

The priests of the god of literature stood outside the temple, with scrolls piled up at their feet that might have been brought out in the near future, but these were only a drop in the bucket of the original inventory, and they prayed and cast divine magic, but to no avail— Spells even contributed to the spread of the flames, and some of the older priests, or priests from noble families, couldn't help but think of the great catastrophe more than a thousand years ago, when the priests were facing the same problem as them, the magic was either ineffective or mutated, and they bowed their heads and silently prayed that it was only temporary and occasional, but everyone knew that fate always tended to be unfortunate rather than lucky.

In addition to the burned scrolls, the priest also had the corpses of his brothers at his feet, and these unfortunate men, one of whom had arrived from the far north, with a precious record, intended to study with them the songs and farewells of a human tribe living in the Far North—he was dead, and the papers he carried with him were consumed in flames, and what the priest of Dinaire did not know was that thousands of miles away from them, a group of giants was devouring fresh flesh and blood— It was the tribe that the priest of Dinaire had visited, who had died in the maws of the giants, without a single survivor, whose tents had been pocketed by the giants, and whose furs, wood chips, and anything else that might have been used to write and write were left in their place, and which would rot in a summer unrecognizable.

The god of literature, Dinair, ran and shouted frantically in his kingdom, he drove his power to kill those silverfish, but always in vain, after another bookshelf collapsed, he gasped and stood in place, listening to the sound of silverfish gnawing on the bookshelves and pages, and suddenly realized that these silverfish were not foreign enemies, but belonged to him, polluted divine power, so the spells he threw would only become their nutrients, although he didn't know how his power was polluted- Dinaire lifted his hand and tore his body apart, only to find that it was as black as a moth-eaten tree, and he examined his essence, it was a bright milky glow—as it should be, but now it was gray, like a rotten human heart, from which silverfish crawled endlessly.

Dinaire raised his head, and took one last look at his kingdom of God, he closed his eyes, and could feel that his doppelgangers were rushing back, but they were destined to not return to the kingdom of God, Dinaire closed his kingdom of God, and then ignited his own essence, silverfish, that is, the dark side of Dinaire screamed miserably in the flames, and fled in all directions, but the kingdom of God was already full of flames, and the books, scrolls and pictures on the shelves were rolling, trembling, and there were many complicated images, Voices were born and died in the flames, dragons groaned, knights brandished swords, and huge horses leaped out with their manes fluttering...... The clown beats the tambourine, and the graceful girl spreads her arms and spins and dances...... Ancient scholars held scrolls in their hands and looked at them deeply...... Children frolicked and ran away from the hot air...... The king sits on his throne, and the demon whispers in the shadows...... Not only humans, but also dragons, elves, dwarves and gnomes, and all the treasures created by intelligent beings are here, and their demise is like a harbinger and a warning.

And just before the complete destruction of the divine kingdom of Dinair, a huge and pure divine power descended here, and the flames, images, sounds, and the ashes of silverfish were all frozen at once.

Ogma, the wise god of knowledge, appeared outside the kingdom of Dinair, his eyes were full of pity and sorrow for Dinel, hundreds of Dinel's doppelgangers were rejected from the kingdom of God, but the next moment, they burned, Ogma did not stop them, this kind of pollution and distortion of the essence of the gods is unbearable for any god, and just like the plague of mankind, they will also spread wantonly through the exchanges between the gods- This was proved by poor Ryela and Miriel, the god of chanting, and when Ugmar, the god of knowledge, and several other gods felt the collapse of their kingdoms and hurried to them, everything was irreparable.

"We must call Io!" said Sheenworth, the goddess of nobility, categorically, "isn't that enough?, Lyra, Miliel, Flor (she glanced at the male gods present at the name), Elmut, Tyre, Rosada...... With so many gods falling, shouldn't we let the gods of the gods know about it?"

"Maybe that's what we're worried about. Bembashar said that she was the goddess of doom, and her hoarse voice was like that of a crow: "Io is not so kind to us. Think about the last battle of the gods, when we were reduced to mortals, and three mortals took the place of our companions, wasn't it all Io's manipulation?"

"First of all, Bane, they stole the slate. Ogma said, "Their fall is their punishment." ”

"What about Mystra?" asked the goddess of doom.

All the gods fell silent, Mystra wanted to return to the kingdom of God because she had the clue of the slate, but was struck to death by the iron-faced and selfless Tyr, and when she fell from the sky, each god couldn't help but let out a cry of astonishment - Speaking of which, Tyre was a loyal servant of the god Io, but he didn't seem to be tolerated, his wife died in the Holocaust, and he was also alienated by the gods because of the actions of guarding the way back to the kingdom of God during the Holocaust.

"And does anyone know exactly what kind of enemies Tyre and Rosada and the other gods have encountered?" asked Hall, the god of vengeance, "to whom shall we take revenge?"

The moon god Su Lun held her bow and arrow, and muttered for a while, she is the god of the rangers, so she knows more about the situation of the main material plane than some gods, but before she could speak, a voice answered this question.

"Ahriman. The voice said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Chaos Serpent Ahriman. ”

The gods turned their heads and saw Ciric with less surprise.

"It's you. Su Lun said in disgust, raising his bow and arrows at the same time.

Shirek looked around, almost all of them were gods who needed to rely on humble human beliefs to ensure that they had great power, elves, dwarves, and gnomes were not among them, and even the elemental gods were nowhere to be seen, and a thin smile appeared on his lips. Although there are still his enemies here, after getting rid of the hypocritical Tyre and Rosada, these stupid guys look a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Wojin, the god of wealth, put her hand on Su Lun's back, she is a goddess who is good at collecting money, and she is not good at fighting, but as a god, she can always feel that the power of Shirek is not the same as before, you know, the god of conspiracy originally belonged to the ranks of powerful gods, and after the fall of Tyre and Rosada, almost no one here can confront this evil and despicable god head-on.

"What did you do?" Ogma asked.

"I," Ciric put his hands on his waist, "what else? As the last time you tried to frame me, I could only give you the same answer, I was doing my duty and duty. ”

"Did you summon Ahriman?" Hale asked.

Cirek shook his head, "You should know it's a revenge," he said in a soft voice.

"To whom?"

"Who else could it be?" "Who else could it be?" Steric raised his finger and made a full circle from himself to the goddess of doom at the very end, "all the gods, each one," he said with a smile, "from the beginning to the end, you were born of his battle with Jerien, but you abandoned them, leaving one to sink in the abyss and the other to be left in the void. ”

"You have nothing to do with this. Su Lun said disgustedly.

"Where the priesthood," said Ciric sincerely, "I am the god of conspiracy and war, and all intrigues must take root in me, everyone." ”

"Is the god of love and marriage being manipulated by you?" asked the goddess of strategy.

"You're trying to ask if I'm planning to devour and pollute Ahriman?" said Ciric, "No, no, no, though I know, it was Tyre and Rosada who invited the banquet. ”

"They have fallen because of you. Su Lun asked.

"I don't have that much power. Ciric then said: "They have fallen because of the desires and doubts of their hearts—listen carefully, everyone, and I will swear, yes, I will swear, I will swear to my throne, and you, look at yourselves, do you not have selfish desires in your hearts, do you not want to be powerful, wise, and omniscient? It is not a sin, whether it is a god or a human being, it is innate, natural, and natural...... And our leader is not just, he is tyrannical, ruthless, selfish - he never cares about the physical plane of the Lord, he has no temple, no sanctuary, no priest, no concern for the affairs of the humans, or the giants, or the orcs...... He only enslaves us, persecuts us, and interferes with us when we want to get a little reward? Isn't he? In the beginning, you, yes, that is, did you pay a little attention to the main material plane? It was originally just a courtyard and a playground for you! You should be free and careless, who put the shackles on you? Isn't it Io?

How ridiculous, ladies and gentlemen, I should remind you of this!

But think about it, think about it, isn't Io's behavior from the first war of the gods to the present day not abrupt and strange enough? I admit that I could not have become a god without the lost tablet, but why can't the all-powerful god of God do something that even a few ordinary humans can do?Or, in the first place, the tablet shouldn't have been lost! It's just an excuse, everyone, an excuse to punish you, to weaken you, he will also be afraid...... Yes, it is your God of God, who fears your innate powers, so he will deprive them of ......"

"Shut up!" called the gods.

"The Serpent of Chaos Ahriman, the Serpent of Order, Jerion, their power is great, and their status is noble, but what about them now? Forgotten! Not to mention humans, even gods and demons rarely remember their names, and some even think that they are just a pair of beasts...... Is this supposed to be the treatment that the two gods who opened the chaos deserve?! And you, even inferior to them, would rather be blindfolded and have your ears plugged than accept reality!"

"Shut your mouth!" cried Suron, "we will not forget what a despicable you are, wicked Shirek!"

"Because I'm the god of conspiracy. "That's why I'm able to peek into the corner of this terrible conspiracy, where the twin snakes are hidden, the dragons are banished, the elves, dwarves, and gnomes are about to be exiled, and you are either weakened or killed—" He suddenly drew a dagger from behind his waist, "Remember it? Now, only a thousand years later, the same thing is going to happen again!And you're still questioning me?A little conspiracy god Ciric? He's doing it again!The gods of God are cleaning us up! It's still too late!Everyone, but time is running out, and when it's all over, it's going to be late, it's too late!" Cirek took a step back, put his dagger back into his waist, spread his hands, and his abrupt tone suddenly became eerie: "You will find yourself alone and at your mercy." The god of conspiracy said with a bit of a leisurely attitude: "What will he ask of at that time?" ”

"We won't believe you. Su Lun said.

"It doesn't matter," Ciric smiled contemptuously, "you've always been like this, a bunch of cowards. ”

——————————————————————

Cirek left, but his words pierced the hearts of the gods like a stinger, and they looked at each other. Ogmar and other powerful and benevolent gods are willing to believe in Io, and they believe that compared to pursuing Io's true intentions, the Chaos Serpent Ahriman is the object they need to contain, but evil gods such as Taros, the god of storms, believe that Io is the culprit of the chaos for various reasons, but they don't have the courage to question the gods above, and some neutral gods, such as Workin, think that Io should be called first, whether it is the Chaos Serpent Aliman or Ciric's accusations, they must see Io first。

Hearing the neutral gods say this, the evil gods even thought that this method was quite feasible, Ogma frowned, he glanced at Su Lun, and finally nodded.

So they called out Io's name.
