Text CH.60 The Gods and Kings

Hearing Lelouch's suggestion, the most excited person should be the loyal Xiao Di, "That's right, only gods are worthy of the dignity of Lord Ainz and Lord Oroboros!" The king rules the country, and the gods rule the world. ”

"Lelouxiu, you are worthy of being a dependent of my production, you can see my thoughts, you really live up to my expectations of you!"

"Thank you, Lord Oroboros!" For the praise of Oroboros, Lelouch did not show too much excitement.

Oroboros knew that unlike Xiao Di, who was good at brain supplementation, Lelouch had absolutely clear and intelligent minds, which meant that whether it was Oroboros or old bones, Lelouch could analyze their thoughts through their words.

If Lelouch was not an NPC made by Oroboros himself, then Oroboros would definitely list Lelouch as the object of his greatest vigilance in the entire Nasalek Great Tomb.

"Lelouch is right, there are only gods above kings. Therefore, we do not rule the land as kings, but as gods. Oroboroth paused, "So Ainz and I will also be the god of Faos (Greek: light) and the god of Meros (Latin: Morsβ€”death)." ”

Mors, in Latin, means death, and it also means death.

Interestingly, the god of Mors, the god of death in Roman mythology, is based on Thanatos, the god of death in Greek mythology. He is the twin brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep, and his mother is Nyx, the goddess of the night. In the ancient imagination, sleep and death were twin brothers, and Hesiod, who was also the son of Nyx, believed that they were both born to Niks, the goddess of the night, and both lived in Hades, from which they came to earth and quietly approached the earthly people. Hypnus is a gentle, human-friendly god, while Thanatos is a cold and cruel god.

The reason why Oroboros gave the old bone the title of the god of Meros was actually to correspond to his guild weapon, the Staff of Hypnos. Meros and Hypnos, the hidden meaning is brotherhood.

Although he is now disguised as the God of Light, the true power of Oroboros actually depends on the Staff of Hypnos. Disguised as the god of light, it is only for the sake of being able to rule the people better in the future. In fact, both he and Ainz are messengers who send their lives into endless darkness.

In fact, in the Greek mythological system, Apollo and Artemis, who ruled the kingdom of heaven, Hades, Meros and Persephone, who ruled the underworld, all belonged to the god of death - the gods who separated mortals from the earth. To go to heaven or to hell means death for those who are alive.

"Lelouch, you should be able to understand what Ofhas and Meros meant, right?"

Auroboros also instilled some knowledge of the "real world" into Lelouch's brain, so Lelouch was able to understand what Oroboros was trying to say.

"Well, the meaning of light and death is the difference."

"Yes, for life, birth and death are like twin brothers, and each of them cannot escape the shackles of life and death in the end. In the kingdom we are about to establish, Ainz and I are the gods who control the life and death of all living beings in the world. No one can arbitrarily deprive others of their right to life and death without our permission. This is not only an edict to those who are about to be ruled by us, but also a reminder to you! ”

"Yes, we will take it to heart!" All of them solemnly swore an oath!

"Lelouch, no, C.C., let me ask you a question, what do you think of religion? Notice that I'm asking you about religion, not about you. ”

"Religion, in my opinion, is a tool of domination that exists as distinct from secular rule. A pure religion that can only rule over the soul of men; A purely secular government, on the other hand, can only rule over the human body. A theocratic state has the power to rule over a person's soul and body. ”

As the former head of the GEASS Church, C. C's understanding of religion is far deeper than that of Oroboros, and she understands the relationship between humans, gods, and religion, so she can easily answer this question.

"So, what is the most important thing for a religion to exclude its most important physical facilities, such as funds, churches, and talents?"

C. C thought for a moment, then replied, "The canon, that is, the myth used to convert the human soul. A complete and systematic canon is a software tool that can quickly convert the people to the rule of religion. ”

"A person's life is a life from birth to death, which is an absolutely inevitable result. Therefore, life and death are not opposites, but unified existence. In the religion we founded, there were only two supreme gods, one God of life and one God of death. Our task is to control the cycle and change of life, and to maintain the operation and existence of the whole world. Whoever dies, after his death, his life, his soul, will be judged by us. The good go to heaven or be reincarnated as a human, and the evil go to hell or be reborn as a pig and a dog. ”

"Euphemia!" Oroboros said to her solemnly, "I hope you will be able to concoct a set of myths in the image of me and Ainz that will convince all living beings in the world. Based on the adventurous energy of Ainz and I in the original world, this set of myths was created. Please make sure that all the friends of the Great Tomb of Nasalik become the gods of this myth, Tachimi, Ershiyanlei, Urbet, Jade, Perolochino, and I want to make the fame of all the friends of Nasalik resound throughout the world! ”

After listening to Oroboros's words, the old bones, who were originally very ashamed of Oroboros' making "him and himself gods", seemed to wake up like a mouthman: "Oh, it turns out that this is the real reason why Oroboros wants us to become gods. Religion is far more alive than the state than the secular government, so that the creatures of this world can always remember the names of Nasalik's companions through mythology. ”

The old bone couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "This suggestion is really good, I agree with it very much!" ”

"It's so impressive!" Xiao Di's eyes couldn't stop flowing tears of emotion, he knelt on the ground with his legs, and thanked Auroboros in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much, Lord Oroboros. Let every Supreme Being of the Great Tomb of Nasalik be known to the world in the name of the gods is undoubtedly the greatest grace for us who have been created. ”

"Damn, it's crazy again!"

"Xiaodi, are you humiliating me? Are you humiliating me? "Oroboros didn't expect that after Negan and Fruda, the third crazy person was actually Xiao Di, which was supposed to ruin the rhythm of the three views.

I really couldn't stand Xiao Di's crazy posture of the old bone poked the ground with a scepter: "Calm down, Dimiugs!" ”

"Yes, please forgive me for my sins, I'm so excited!" Xiao Di took off his glasses, wiped away his tears, and stood up.

When Xiao Di was done calming down, Oroboros turned his head back to Yufe, "Yuphimia, I think you should have understood your job by now, right?" ”

"Yes, I think my lord's main task, in addition to putting me in charge of compiling a myth based on Nazarik, should be to make me the saint in charge of promoting the Holy Religion or something, right?"

"That's right, adding followers to Nasalik and making Nasalik's prestige resounding throughout the world, that's your task! The reason why I chose you is because your temperament and character are very suitable for the work of a saint who inspires others, and I believe that there is no second person in the whole of Nazarik. Perhaps Nanali is suitable for the same job, but as the central operator of the Damocles Fortress, she is unlikely to hold such a position. ”

"Thank you very much to Oroboros for entrusting me with such a heavy responsibility."

At this time, Shatia, who had been hanging aside, couldn't help but stand up: "Wait a minute, Lord Oroboros! The three provinces and six ministries have been arranged, so what kind of positions should concubines and concubines hold? ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say nextβ€”Nassalik's general for the conquest of the world."

"Oh......" Hearing Oroboros's words, the Guardians and servants who had not been elected to the positions of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries began to get excited, and the chances of becoming Nasalik's general were better than those who had already been chosen. Is there anything more glorious than the opening of territory?

"First of all, Shatia, Cosettes, Yaula Mare, and Karen the Red Moon will serve as the four Vanguard Officers of Nazarik. You are responsible for the main task of expanding in the four directions of Nassalik, south, south, and west, and you must take the lead and use your sword as Nassalik's plow, and cultivate new land for Nassalik! ”

"Yes!" Shatia, Cosetes, Yaula Mare, and Karen Scarlet bowed to accept the appointment.

"However, for the time being, the Great Tomb of Nasalik has no plans to expand externally. When we first came to this world, we were very new to it. Therefore, the current task is not to recklessly expand externally, but to explore the specific information around it as the first task. ”

"Veretta (the brown-skinned woman who spies on Lelouch in R2), the Hungry Fox King, and the Horror Prince!"

"Yes!" One person and two insects are out of the ranks.

"The three of you will be in charge of the macro intelligence search."

"Veretta, your responsibility is to be an intelligence search officer, so you're still in charge of intelligence search. As for the Hungry Fox King and the Terror Prince, you have the skills to manipulate insects, and you can also communicate and communicate with insects, your task is to manipulate insects to conduct a dragnet search within a radius of 500 kilometers, and be sure to find out all the approximate data of the surrounding land, such as the number of land, population, garrison, etc., this is not a difficult thing for you, right? ”

"I'll understand!"

"At the same time, Sebas is also involved in the investigation, but your work is more inclined to investigate the factors of people's suffering, economic development, customs and culture, and the state system. The establishment of a law does not rely on the imagination of staying in the deep palace, but requires extensive investigation in society. ”

"Finally, it is my duty and that of Ainz in the Great Tomb of Nazarik. I will be in charge of Nassalik's internal affairs and secretly in charge of the foreign wars. In the future, we will start on this basis! Do you understand? ”

"Understand, I will dedicate this world to the Supreme Supreme!"

"Understand, I will dedicate this world to the Supreme Supreme!"

"Understand, I will dedicate this world to the Supreme Supreme!"
