Chapter 107: Divine Language
The humanoid remained in the center of the room, and continued to speak in a pale voice in the surprise of everyone, "I was very surprised by your arrival...... I can't remember how long...... No one has set foot on my territory anymore......"
"Your territory?" Tarrant stared at the mass of energy in front of him, secretly thinking in his heart, if this room is its territory, it means that it is the great god enshrined in the temple, the body of the statue, in the adventure just now, Tarrant has always thought that this god should be dead, he tried to distinguish the other party's face, the chaotic energy kneaded into a ball to create layers of obstacles, he could not see any details on the human form, there was no way to judge its similarity with the statue.
"Yes, this is my territory...... The grandest temple of my time", the humanoid hands waved, drawing elegant traces of energy, and his head was slightly downward, as if there was some regret, "and the only temple left so far......"
"You claim to be the master here, so what's your name?" Catrina lowered her hands as she was about to cast the spell.
"My name?...... My name is ......" the figure paused, suddenly holding its head, "I can't remember my name!" The tone of his voice suddenly increased, and the energy around him gathered into a dark blue, "It's been too long......", the voice full of pain but seemed unusually gentle, "It's been too long since my time...... I don't know how long it has been since my name has been mentioned...... My followers no longer call upon me and ask me, I have been forgotten by all......"
"So, you want us to believe that you're a god who can't remember his own name?" Tarrant, who had never heard of a god who couldn't remember his own name, added coldly, "And at the same time, he can't even reveal his own body?"
"My body...... I can't do that......" The humanoid reached out his hands to the sides and looked at the blue energy above his head, "The energy that the believers have provided me with is too limited...... What I am capable of now is only to keep me alive ......"
"Do you still have followers?" Tarrant was even more surprised, according to the humanoid description, this was the only temple, and the team had not found any signs of living things in the temple.
"My adherent...... They resided in front of the temple gates...... They were my only guardians in the long silence...... They drive away the disrespectful for me...... They are my most faithful and devout people...... It is their faith that supports my current existence zài......"
In front of the temple gate...... Tarrant frowned and looked at his teammates, there was nothing but fog in the place.
Kitty had blurted out a question, "Those evil fog voids at the door are your people?!"
"Fog Void...... Is this what you call you...... They were elves...... The noblest and most upright elves, who sacrifice their bodies to protect my temple from the attacks of others......"
The humanoid used four "most" in a row to describe those fog voids, expressing a strong respect for their existence, there must be more stories here, a series of questions flashed through Tarrant's mind, who dared to attack the greatest god during the reign of the elves, and who was so powerful that the elves had to sacrifice to stop it, he asked towards the humanoids, "Who attacked your temple?"
"The other elves ......," the humanoid recalled, "the faith is clouded...... Reason is replaced by madness...... Some people broke the contract...... When I'm defenseless...... The woman ......"
The jumbled narrative left Tarrant confused, "What contract? Which woman? What does this have to do with the elves?"
"Ah!!" The human form began to distort, and he still couldn't accept the moment when his splendor was trampled on.
The energy in the room writhed, surging in all directions like a rising tide, and everyone retreated at a loss, and the energy body in front of them seemed to be extremely unstable, on the verge of ruin.
The energy unexpectedly calmed down quickly, and the ripple marks softened along the wall, "I can't mention that woman's name...... She will know my deposits...... My people and my temple will be destroyed once again......," the figure muttered softly, ignoring the crowd.
Tarrant looked at him coldly, and began to doubt the mental state of this god, perhaps the long loneliness and hatred had tormented him into a pure energy body without logical ability, similar to the fog outside the door, he approached Katrina: "Can you understand what he is saying? Maybe he is not a god at all, but some kind of monster that we don't recognize." ”
"No, he's a god", Catrina stared at the human form, "how can this temple and he exist ten thousand years ago, how can he understand our language?"
"Our language?" Tarrant was reminded that it was illogical that the ancient gods were communicating with them in human language, as there was no human language in his time.
The Master explained, "This is God's ability to communicate with the heart, He doesn't need to master our language, as long as we consciously generate Him, he can communicate with us, like a spirit, He is God!"
"And what are the women, the contract, the precautions he is talking about?"
The humanoid heard the conversation, recovered from its stuporous state, and stepped up to the group, "That woman ......", he was very sensitive to the word, "She tore up the contract of the gods...... She will be punished......"
"Which woman ......," Tarrant asked the question a third time, reluctantly.
Katrina stopped him, "It must be another deity, God has the ability to 'covenant', and when her name is mentioned, the seven words before and after the name will be known to the god, so he can't call her name, otherwise she will find out that there is a zài here." ”
The mage's explanation made Tarrant understand that this was supposed to be a war between gods, and he curiously asked a new question: "What did that man do?"
"A long time ago...... In order to balance the power of the gods...... We made a pact together...... We cannot interfere with the world on the ground in a direct form...... Let the ground freely choose the faith...... God can bless their followers...... In order for this contract to be strictly observed...... Each god gives a portion of his strength...... We have forged the most terrible form...... The Oath Stubborn...... It monitors every god who makes an oath...... Eliminate those who cross the line......"
Oath Diehard, this is a new term to Tarrant, he understands the rules that the human form says, which are the rules that Redstone now obeys, and the gods can only protect him, he nodded, "What's wrong with that?"
"The woman...... Insidious Woman...... She quietly broke the rules......"
"Wait, what will you say about breaking the rules...... Aren't the Diehards wiped out?" Tarrant questioned.
"She fooled us......! Let's foolishly think that the ground is in freedom...... But she gave the Godhead to mortals...... Let them recite her exploits...... Elves are attracted to divine power...... The cult of power replaces the ...... of faith"
The narrative is simple, but it presents a dead evil conspiracy in front of everyone, it is clear that there is a god who broke his oath and first used the "spokesman", and in this way won the worship of the entire continent, defeating the owner of this temple, the despicable god, Tarrant first heard that the true role of the spokesperson is like this, and he asked his teammates, "Does anyone know what history this is?"
Katrina shook her head, followed by Kitty and Rex.
"You're wrong...... History...... It is the conscious expression of the victors...... It's never real...... You know that...... It's just what she wants you to know......"
This is the strangest "theory of history" that Tarrant has ever heard, "well, even so...... This qiē has passed, and there is nothing you can do", he admonished with a little regret, and it was lucky that there was no god who believed in it, and he could continue to exist for a long time.
"No...... My will has kept me going until now...... Hold on until you show up...... My chance has come...... I need a spokesperson...... Re-establish faith for me!" As he spoke, the energy of the entire room gathered towards the four of them......
