Chapter 746: The Deal Between God and Emperor (Part II)

The Overlord Garseric is a giant of history, but he is also one of the most taboo figures of the two major religious organizations of the Holy See and the Holy Capital, the overlord carried out a bloody suppression of religious forces after the establishment of the Perras Empire, and it was not until the destruction of the Perras Empire that the two major religious organizations were finally revived.

And it is precisely because of this origin that neither the Holy See nor the Holy Capital are willing to mention any news about Garserik, let alone a second overlord on the mainland.

Augusta knew very well what his heart's dream was, to restore the territory of the Pellath Empire in the time of the former overlord Garserik, to reunite the divided continent, and to become the second emperor to be crowned after the overlord.

And this grand wish is not delusional, at least after learning about the long-lost technology of the Pellas Empire, Augusta began to find that his dream is not impossible to realize, a large portal that can transport a large number of people and goods at one time, a larger, faster, faster and more powerful military airship technology, and the steel machine 'Demon Knight' that the Praetorian Guard in the Overlord era crushed the entire continent!

However, all this is based on blasphemy, if there really are gods in this world┉┉

And now Augusta understands that gods really exist in this world, not only gods but also dragons and demons described in mythology, almost overnight Augusta found that the world he lives in has changed almost completely, becoming full of countless unknowns, becoming extremely stressful and breathless.

"Are you afraid?" said Ishtar without answering the question directly.

Fear!?

For Augusta, who is a mortal, it is natural that no matter how much he hides it, no matter how he tries to calm down, fear will inevitably breed from the depths of his heart. Now Augusta is also clear about one thing. If a god really wants to punish himself, he doesn't need to come to the world in person, the god only needs to issue an oracle to announce his guilt, then whether it is from the Holy See or the pressure within the Empire of Carl Cermon, everything he has done now will be ruined, but why is the situation now?

Normally, Augusta would definitely start to calculate all possible scenarios, but now the prince of the Karlsmen Empire only felt that his mind was in turmoil, and his mind could not calm down in front of the gods. It was as if there was a fog in my mind, and I couldn't sort out the information I had obtained and analyzed it.

Ishtar's eyes closed slightly: "I think you should also understand Augusta, if I really want to punish you, then I have thousands of ways to come to you without having to come to you in person." ”

"Then noble goddess, may I ask what you are here for?"

After the goddess lowered her tone, Augusta only felt a lot better, and the aggressive momentum that made him breathless finally subsided a little.

"I'm interested in your dreams~Augusta!" Suddenly Ishtar raised his head and stared at Augusta with a charming smile and said.

In an instant, Augusta almost wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, and the goddess Ishtar was very interested in her dream!?The grand dream of establishing the era of the overlord Garserik dared to be interested~ How is this possible!

Looking at Augusta, who seemed to be stunned, Ishtar said calmly, "You are eager to follow the example of the Overlord and reunite the entire continent. And I also want to unite the peoples of the whole continent into one will, and in many ways we think the same thing. ”

"I ┉┉I don't understand what you mean┉┉"

"The overlord has established a territory that spans the entire continent and unified all the races in the world in his empire, and the era of the Pellath Empire is the golden age of rapid development of the world, countless new theories and technologies were born in that era, and the civilization of the whole world has developed rapidly in that era, excluding his arrogant actions of blasphemy, but I have to admit that he did a good job, isn't it?"

Augusta looked at the goddess in front of him in disbelief, and talked about this figure that should have been taboo with an unchanged smile, and there was no anger or disgust in the goddess's expression at all. On the contrary, just like his former self, he showed a yearning look when he read about the deeds of the overlord.

The goddess also worships the overlord as much as herself┉┉

No! Augusta dispelled the whimsical idea in an instant. The goddess Ishtar is different from herself, not so much worshipping the overlord Garseric as worshipping the era of the Phelras empire established by the overlord, the era when all things were under one will.

As if seeing through everything in Augusta's mind, Ishtar crossed his hands and said with a subtle flash in his eyes: "That's right~ Augusta! All I want is the era of unity, the era when all things gather in one will and idea, so I am very interested in your dream." ”

“┉┉┉┉”

After a long silence. Augusta suddenly covered his forehead and laughed: "Hahaha┉┉Originally, I thought I was a person who was haunted by desire, but I didn't expect that even the 'god' had such a strong desire!"

"This world is originally driven forward by the desires of countless 'me', if the world does not have any desires, then the world has already fallen into stagnation and freezing, and the gods naturally need a little desire to promote their own sublimation. Of course, if the thirst for desire goes beyond the boundary, then you can only become an evil god who does not hesitate to freeze the whole world to maintain his dominance. ”

Ishtar said without any difference, but more like approving of Augusta's idea.

"In that case, why did you come to me? You are a god, and you must be ready to find someone better to fulfill your dreams. ”

"Because you're special Augusta┉┉"

"Special?hehe┉┉Aren't you afraid that I will become the second overlord Garserik?" Saying this, Augusta also seemed to be out of his mind, and asked one question after another that would have angered the gods.

However, at this moment, Ishtar smiled even more, as if a person who had already learned the answer was looking at the ignorant who was still confused and asking a ridiculous question: "Do you really think that the overlord's blasphemy is his own intention?"

In an instant, Augusta's originally slightly excited expression calmed down, why did the overlord Garseric suppress religion and blasphemy so much after establishing the Perras Empire, in the eyes of some historians and scholars, most of it was attributed to the overlord's own desire for power and vanity, he didn't want religious forces to become his sidekicks, he didn't want the glory he had built up to be forced to share with the gods, and he longed to sublimate himself into a god and make himself a symbol that would be remembered by the world forever.

But now it seems that there is something else going on!

"The legend of the Overlord, I think you must have read it many times!When Quintis was at his most declining, his army was pursued into the Misty Forest, and finally forced to migrate to the Arnold Mountains and where he found great power, and it was this power that allowed Quintis to turn defeat into victory and establish great achievements┉┉"

As the goddess whispered, the atmosphere in the room became cold for a moment: "However, the world will never know that the power that Quintis sought is a force full of hatred for the gods and the whole world, a transcendent who once fell in war, and its hatred of the gods of the world forced Quintis to sign a contract when he obtained its power, that is, to blaspheme and destroy the gods!"

"Is it demonic power that the Overlord is seeking?" Augusta was stunned for a moment.

"Not a demon, a transcendent, a being that shouldn't have been in this world. Imprisoned in the Arnold Mountains after its defeat, it was awakened for the last time two thousand years ago, and it was this awakening that gave it the power of Quintis and the general gift of hatred┉┉"

Ishtar said lightly, a trace of loneliness flashed inadvertently in his eyes, and he didn't seem to want to continue on the issue of the identity of this power: "Augusta! The overlord you worship is the same as you, he just wants to establish an era of his own, and blasphemy has never been in his philosophy anymore. Tell me┉┉Do you really hate the gods that much?"

Hate the gods ┉┉blaspheme the gods ┉┉

The voice of the goddess seems to have a strange magic, so that Augusta can't help but ask himself, if he really hasn't said anything, after reading the deeds of the overlord Garserik, the so-called overlord's blasphemy behavior is the same as the opinion of those historians and scholars, one is that there were some irreconcilable contradictions between the overlord and the religious forces at that time, and everything the overlord did was just to remove the obstacles that hindered him. The second is that the overlord is too obsessed with vanity, hoping to put himself above the gods and leave the most glorious page in the annals of history.

He is eager to rebuild the glory of the former Pellas Empire, and both the Holy See and the Holy Capital are only in their own eyes, and there seems to be no ┉┉ otherwise

"┉There's no need to hate it, right?"

The sudden sound in his ears startled Augusta, and the goddess Ishtar had appeared behind Augusta at some point, whispering in Augusta's ear very intimately. In an instant, Augusta only felt as if someone had cast a immobilization spell, and the muscles in his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move a bit.

Ishtarlian returned to his position just now, stared at Augusta and said with a hint of pride: "It's not a taboo for you to restore the glory of the Cermen Empire to the former Perras Empire, on the contrary, I like an enterprising mortal like you." But Augusta, I must be sure that what you do will not do much harm to the world, and that you will not follow the power of the wrong people like Quintis once did. ”

"What do you mean┉┉"

"Believe in me! Choose me! I will be your guide and overseer, so that you will not go astray on the road of overlordship. Ishtar stretched out his hands, like the light that redeemed the world, and for a moment Augusta couldn't take his eyes off. (To be continued.) )
