During the period when Evan was researching the neutron mechanical protozoa, in addition to continuing to invest forces in the Arad continent, the Far Eastern Alliance became conservative in various policies and guidelines to avoid misfire. In this process, the other leaders of the Far Eastern Alliance were like a great enemy, believing that the Kashny Federation would not let go of this opportunity and would definitely aggressively intensify the offensive.

However, the reality surprised them, because the military deployment and various policies of the Kashny Federation were also becoming more and more conservative, and even took the initiative to reduce military exercises on the Far Eastern Defense.

The two blocs are shrinking at the same time, and for small and medium-sized countries, this situation is basically the calm before the storm.

In their view, the struggle between the two blocs has become white-hot, and the sudden shrinking of strength at this time is clearly for the sake of better explosive strength.

Is this going to turn a cold war into a hot war? Are they not afraid of destroying the galaxy civilization?

It's scary!

However, no one cares about the attitude of the small country - except for taking sides, they can only pray for the blessing of their ancestors.

At this time, the war on the Arad continent gradually subsided due to the tacit agreement of the two major groups.

As a result of the war, the Perus Empire was divided into two, with the southern border divided into the camp of the Far Eastern Alliance, the northern border became the sphere of influence of the Kashny Federation, the southern border was ruled by Ozma and renamed the Republic of Delos, and the northern border was succeeded by the nephew of the Emperor Perus, who continued to use the name of the Pelus Empire.

Although peace has finally been restored, the pain in the hearts of the people of the former Delos Empire has not healed for a long time.

They saw this civil war as a stupid and meaningless war, and the culprit was the former Emperor of the Perus Empire.

The eyes of the people are clear, and this is the case.

If Emperor Perus had been a little more settled, had not killed Kazan and had not forced Ozma to rebel, then nothing would have happened.

With the support of the two powers, he could become the first king to reign on the continent of Arad, and enjoy the supreme glory, but the emperor insisted on playing tricks and finally killed himself - not only at the cost of his own chastity and life, but also buried the unified Empire of Perus, and once again the country was divided between the north and the south.

It is true that he is a sinner of the ages on the Arad continent.

At least in the Republic of Delos, ruled by Ozma, the reputation of the Delos Emperor is already indestructible, and he can be called an example of the faint monarchs of all generations.

But in this way, Ozma was still not angry, and simply made Emperor Delos into a bronze statue, made him kneel in Kazan's temple, and confessed to Kazan who died unjustly day and night - if this matter was known to Evan, he might be very enthusiastic and secretly chant a poem, such as 'Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of the faithful, and the brass innocently casts the faint king' or something.

However, he is busy now, and he is not empty to recite poetry.

However, after Elu Lome learned of Kazan's deeds, she was very moved, and even sent someone to the Kazan temple to worship each other.

There is no monarch who does not like loyal ministers, especially famous generals who can fight and are loyal.

This move undoubtedly made Ozma very happy, after all, the banner of his rebellion was to avenge Kazan, and the Menes royal family publicly worshiped Kazan, which was clearly a platform for him.

And the Perus Empire in the north is depressed, after all, no matter how dull that emperor is, he is also the uncle of the current ruler...... But protests are useless. Eventually, they had an idea and built a temple for the emperor, with the bronze statue of Ozma kneeling before the emperor and confessing to him day and night.

Ozma, who learned the news, did not fluctuate in his heart, and added five more bronze statues to the Kazan Temple, namely the four heads of the base and the dark angel and the demon man. This move made the people of the Perus Empire scratch their heads, but Ozma himself was very happy, and every time he went to worship Kazan, he could recall the night of revenge when the 'chrysanthemums were bruised on the ground'.

......

The war subsided with the disintegration of the Peruvian Empire, but the people of Arad seemed destined for no peace, and after bidding farewell to the poison of war, they ushered in an unprecedented plague.

This plague is unlike any other plague that has come before it, it doesn't kill the infected quickly, it doesn't destroy the health of the infected—it only destroys their sanity.

Patients infected with this plague will become impulsive and bloodthirsty, and their mental state will gradually collapse while their strength and speed increase greatly. The main symptoms are discoloration of the pupils, blood boiling, and it is very easy for oneself to fall into an irrational state, appear in a violent state, and accidentally injure others.

Folks call this disease the Kazan plague.

Because when the patient became ill, he was like the brave and bloodthirsty posture of Kazan in battle.

Because of this, many people attributed the illness to Kazan's curse, and it quickly spread, and Kazan also changed from an imperial general to a god of destruction.

Ozma was outraged by this situation, unable to accept that his best friend would not have peace after his death, and had turned from a heroic spirit into a ghost, so he asked the Far Eastern Alliance for help.

On the side of the Far Eastern Alliance, of course, it was fully supported - the side of the Peruvian Empire also received help from the Kashny Federation.

It didn't take long for many of the Kazan plague infected, after being treated, to learn to control the power that the curse brought to them.

There are also some infected people who have symptoms of mutation in their left arm, and they are more impulsive, bloodthirsty, and destructive than ordinary infected people. In the early stages of the disease, the mutation begins to spread upwards through the fingers, the green tendons protrude from the skin, the skin turns blood-colored, then the color changes to an eerie crimson, and finally the entire arm shape changes to a blood-red demonic hand.

Medical personnel call this kind of lesion a ghost hand, and people with ghost hands will become different from ordinary people over time, and even be able to see ghosts and gods. The perception of the "ghost hand" is very two-faced, with the perception that it is "ominous and unfortunate", but at the same time the perception that it "can give great power".

The Far Eastern Alliance and the Kashni Federation have also done a thorough study of the ghost hand phenomenon, and they have found that ordinary people infected with the Kazan plague do not grow ghost hands, and only the golden descendants will grow ghost hands after infection. People with ghost hands will not only increase their strength, but also their vitality will become unimaginable, and a serious injury that would be fatal to normal people may only require a bandage for them.

What's even more special is that whether it is the Kazan plague or the Ghost Hand mutation, it will only appear in the people of the former Perus Empire.

The Celestial Realm, the Void Ancestors, the Dark Elves, and even the Elves will not be infected.

This peculiar phenomenon led scientists from the Far Eastern Alliance and the Kashny Federation to believe that the Kazan plague was not a disease, but a key to unleash its power. It only works on certain groups, making the infected quickly stronger, and even speeding up the pace of awakening.

Ordinary infected people obviously lack potential, and those who have obtained ghost hands are those who truly have heroic qualities.

Continent of Arad, Cathedral of Remidia Bastila

At dawn in the morning, the first rays of light shine clearly on the earth through the faint clouds, bringing soft warmth to the world that has been sleeping all night.

The faint light is like a candle flame through the exquisite and ornate multicolored parquet glass, which follows the countless mirrors that surround the hall, and through thousands of reflections, finally intertwines and shines in this glorious cathedral, and is painted with a hazy and elegant light, adding a touch of purity and nobility to this church.

In front of the church, a row of little girls with short ear-length hair and black sacrificial robes are kneeling on the carpet praying.

At this time in the past, they would face the rising sun and sing a beautiful and melodious divine comedy.

Believers and pilgrims who came to the city to hear their hymns would surround the church building.

But on this day, all the clergy, including the bishop of the church, were praying silently, because it would be their last day of prayer – after which the church would cease to exist.

Behind the priestess, a group of young men in red armbands and black uniforms stood, and they surrounded the main hall of the church, standing solemnly in place.

Three minutes later......

The black-haired young man at the head looked at his watch, took a step forward, and said loudly:

"When the time comes, the church of Remidia Bastila will be closed from now on! It will be changed to the University of Remidia Bastila! All the priests and above will leave the church, and the rest will be retained to receive professional training and reopen to society. ”

His voice was so loud that it fell in the empty church, and even produced an echo of ups and downs.

The clergy, however, did not seem to hear a single one, but knelt there, facing the altar in silent prayer.

"Isn't that clear enough......? Then I'll repeat it carefully!"

The black-haired young man took out the order book, touched it in front of him, and read it aloud:

"By the order of the Lord Protector Ozma, the church of Remidia Bastila was abolished and renamed the University of Remidia Bastila, and all clergy above the priest level were reinstated. The rest of the staff are re-educated and ready to face society after graduation. ”

After hearing his words, the clergy remained indifferent and knelt silently in front of the sanctuary, maintaining this silent opposition.

"The order of the Lord Protector has arrived, and if you do not leave, we will have no choice but to violently expel you. As he spoke, the black-haired youth turned and gave a glance to his companion behind him, who immediately took a step forward.

"Kick them out!!" he said, holding back his anger.

Hearing his words, the socialists in the Arad continent rushed up, did not beat or scold, and dragged those priests out of their robes. As for the young clergy, they simply ignored them and allowed them to kneel in front of the church and pray—as long as they got rid of these old things, sooner or later their minds could be set right.

"You can't do this! You can't do that!"

At this moment, the archbishop of the church was lying on the ground, grabbed by the shin and dragged out by two young men—and as she struggled, she cried out in agony: "Do you know what you are doing? You are destroying the holy sanctuary and blaspheming the holy faith! God will curse you, God will curse you to Hell Fire!"

"Shut up, stupid idealist! I advise you to read more serious scientific magazines, for God does not exist! There is no so-called oracle or divine punishment...... Instead of wasting your life on meaningless prayers, do something meaningful!" The young man on the left glanced back at her, his face full of contempt.

"If there were any less fools like you, it would not matter if I went to Hellfire. Another young man replied lightly.

"I see!"

At this moment, the bishop suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said with a determined face:

"You've all been bewitched by Ozma! You've been deceived by a demon! That guy is not human, he's a demon! He's a god of chaos! he's going to make humanity lose faith, to confuse nations, and to make trust between people die...... If you don't wake up, the world will fall into chaos!!"

Although what she said was conclusive, these words were indeed made up by her temporarily, in order to take revenge on Ozma - you smashed my job, I ruined your reputation, this is called retribution!

"What nonsense!"

"Do you believe these lies you are telling?"

When the two youths heard her, they frowned at the same time, dragged her out of the church as quickly as they could, and then threw her out into the street.

"You've been bewitched!

The bishop sat on the ground in disarray, but raised the scepter in his hand and cried out hoarsely:

"Ozma is dead! The original Ozma is long gone! The Ozma we love no longer exists! Now he is a chaotic ghost who made a contract with the devil and exchanged his soul for the power to destroy the world! He is the enemy of God! He will defile the holy faith, corrupt people's hearts, and make people lose trust between people! Turn the whole world into a lair of demons!"

With the professionalism accumulated over the years, she is becoming more and more proficient in weaving, and she is giving Ozma more and more pots.

In the process, the crowd of onlookers gradually increased, and while listening to the bishop's heart-wrenching cry, they began to murmur from ear to ear.

"Think about it! Who is Ozma's best friend?"

Seeing that there were more and more people around him, the bishop quickly stood up from the ground and said with a sad face:

"It's Kazan! How much pain and hurt did the Kazan plague that he left behind after his death? Ozma is Kazan's best friend, which means that they are the same kind of people! Kazan is the god of destruction, he must be the demon god of chaos!"

"As you can see, my church has been destroyed, and the sacred sanctuary is gone! Soon, the Chaos Spirits will cast a blood curse and do whatever they want in this land, and you—"

At this, he jerked up his tone, pointed his scepter at the crowd of onlookers, and spun in a circle:

"You will all be ravaged under his reign until the Holy One comes to give you salvation!"
