Chapter 280: The world is turned upside down
600
"Get up!!"
A deafening shout suddenly exploded in Trainor's ears, and Trainor's brain took half a second to judge the owner of the voice, and then slowly folded the pillow over to cover his ears and face.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Richard reached out and grabbed the quilt with him: "Something is wrong!" β
He closed his eyes and tightened the quilt: "...... What's the matter, has the Northern Continent come in......"
"There's a lot going on, which one do you listen to first?" Richard grabbed his quilt and waited for dozens of seconds, and when he saw that the other party was silent again, he raised his voice and said, "The true creator has become a god!" You're on the right track!! Friend!! β
Trainor opened his eyes suddenly.
He couldn't believe it: "I ran away from the Orthodox God Church, and now the Iron Cross Society has turned positive, doesn't that mean that I didn't run?" β
"When you say that, I remember, you have donated to many churches in the Eternal Sun before, right? Will the money be returned? β
The hunter was stunned: "Church of the Eternal Sun? What does this have to do with the Church of the Eternal Sun? β
"Oh." Richard hastened to add an explanation, "The true creator has taken the place of the Eternal Sun in Intis. β
Trainor didn't come to his senses for half a minute, and he glanced at the calendar on his bedside in confusion.
ββ¦β¦ Don't think about those unrealistic, help me get a glass of cold water. β
Trainor let go of the pillow, sat up reluctantly, and looked at Richard, who was cooking himself with an appliance and smearing cream and butter on his own bread, and reached for his coat that was beside the bed:
"Having said that, since the Aurora Society has now turned into a regular society, and Intis does not have a royal family, only a council, and the council is under the jurisdiction of the church and the gods, does that mean that your Highland colony now belongs to the Aurora Society?"
Richard took a bite of the thick cream-coated toast and nodded:
"Theoretically, yes, both the Roses and the Highland Rebels are now waiting for a notice from the new church."
"This issue is complicated, if the Aurora Society really intends to continue to engage in semi-slavery and semi-colonization in the colonies, then I will also find a way to continue to die for a while." Richard chewed the cream toast, his expression was a little complicated, "But the Aurora will have a lot of goodwill towards the Southern Continent, if Intis changes his attitude and gives the Highland Colonies normal citizenship and human rights protection, then I estimate that the rebels will not be able to organize, and they can consider disbanding on the spot." β
Trenor didn't speak, and straightened his hair in the bathroom mirror.
Isn't it time to consider investing in a few Aurora properties? He thought.
"It's a bit ironic to think about it, what I've worked hard for more than a hundred years and haven't done is about to be completed overnight."
Richard smiled self-deprecatingly, closed his eyes, and the figures of countless people appeared in his mind, some young, some old, some resolute, but all of them were ahead of themselves, and the sweet and delicious cream could not dissolve the emotions called pain and anger in the heart of the angel of temperance: "Out of selfishness, I don't want to resist and end like this, because I don't believe in the kindness of the people of the Northern Continent, and the temporary preferential treatment is only for a more long-term profit...... But if the true Creator did this, how many would dare to disobey the yin? The overall situation will definitely be better. β
"Isn't the purpose of our rebellion to gain food, dignity, freedom, and rights?"
"If that's the end of it, maybe it would be good." Richard smiled and took a bite off most of the rest of the cream toast.
By this time, Trainor had finished washing up in his pajamas and coat, and before he realized the seriousness of the matter, he unhurriedly prepared himself a breakfast with hot coffee with milk and sugar cubes.
"But why did the true Creator suddenly become the righteous god of Intis, and where did the eternal sun go?" He asked suspiciously, "There are no other faith regions in the Northern Continent that can be divided, so it can't be that I went to the northern plateau, right?" β
Richard's smile visibly became real to the naked eye:
"He died."
"There will be no eternal sun from now on, onlyβwell, the Church of the Creator!"
He's dead?
Trainor was startled, he turned his head sharply to look at the sky outside the window, it was still bright, and the golden ball of light was still hanging there, and then he cast his suspicious eyes on the calendar again, and it took him a long time to find his voice:
"God dies too?"
"No, there was a god war? When did it happen? Still seen by you? Why didn't you go crazy? β
The concept of divine warfare has existed since ancient times, but the gods themselves fought the battle...... There is simply no way to imagine it!
Shouldn't they be eternal? As eternal as the existence of the sun, moon and stars, angels already have immortal life, and the gods are countless times stronger than angels, they should be more eternal, more tenacious, beyond the limits of human imagination, human war is just a sand table in their hands...... Can this powerful lifeform really be killed? Even if it was by another god?
Richard gave himself another piece of cream toast and said with a bright smile:
"I didn't see the real god war, but I saw a change in symbolism."
"Symbol?"
Trainor frowned, but the Angel of Temperance was one sequence above himself was remarkable.
"Don't touch my bread and cream." Trainor couldn't help but speak, "I'll go back and give you three months' share of the cream cheese processing factory in Fetus, and you fill in the address yourself." β
"That's not what I meant."
The smile on Richard's face became even brighter: "Actually, the symbol is very simple, the sun has set, and then the sun has risen again, and the change of authority is over...... Then the True Creator declares that there will be no eternal sun from now on, and that he is the return of the mythical Ancient Creator. β
He denied the creation legend that the six gods were born from the body of the Creator and led mankind to defeat other races, and blamed the gods for killing Him and building a new world on His corpse. He wants to take back the power that has been taken away from him and take vengeance on the wicked gods. β
Richard patted the stunned Trainor on the shoulder:
"Sounds unbelievable, right? But the Church of the God of Steam and Machines acknowledges these things - it has nothing to do with the God of Steam anyway, after all, he is a new god born in the Quaternary Age, and he is not involved in the creation myth. This is currently only being disseminated among the upper echelons of the church and among the angels, and if Intis's printing press works harder, you may be able to see a public announcement in the newspaper this week. β
After saying this, He touched his chin with some uncertainty.
ββ¦β¦ There should be a modified version for the general public, right? But I feel that with the style of the Aurora Society, it is not impossible to say it directly. β
"Actually, the Rose School is very nervous right now because ......"
ββ¦β¦ Judging from the true Creator's devouring of the eternal sun, perhaps our bound gods will also be ......"
Richard thought of what the outer god had said to him during the big haze before, and shook his head with some emotion, but did not finish his words.
And after Trainor was stunned for a long time, he suddenly thought of another question - "Secret Prayer Man" and "Sun" are adjacent sequences, and adjacent sequences mean that they can be interchanged, but if there is a war and accommodation between the gods, does it mean that the adjacent sequences can devour each other when they reach the stage of the gods? Having plural authority? β¦β¦ It should be more than that, right?
He was shocked by this secret knowledge, and only after a few seconds did he ask suspiciously:
"The declaration of the true Creator is a challenge to the gods, and the eternal sun is under attack, and the other gods can't do it, right? If the true Creator had the ability to slay the Eternal Sun alone despite the attacks of other gods, why was he forced to hide for so many years? β
Richard looked at him with complicated eyes and patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course there are other gods to help."
"Who?"
"Your father."
Trainor: ???
"That's right, friend, your father has become a god." Richard's smile was filled with three points of ridicule, five points of helplessness, and two points of eagerness to get the wool, "Your father helped the true creator slaughter the eternal sun!" In the fifth era, the true god of the demonic path was officially born! β
"There was a worldwide malicious outburst before, and wow, you slept with it? You didn't even think to get up and see what was going on? β
The hunter was dumbfounded: "When is this happening??" β
"It lasted for about two hours at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it ended at noon." Richard said, "I almost rushed straight to the North Continent to fish in the troubled waters as soon as I was happy, but fortunately, my self-control ability is relatively strong." β
Trainor couldn't help it, he stepped over and grabbed his desk calendar, repeatedly looked at whether the number was 350 or 1450, reached out to touch the cat in his shadow, and didn't touch it for a long time, and the cat didn't know where to run. After a minute of madness, he looked at Richard with some distorted expressions:
"So much happening in one morning??"
"There's something else."
"For example, there is something wrong in the city of Behrens, from the second half of yesterday night until this morning, there have been strange deaths of members of the Red of War and the army of the Rune, in addition to suicides and murders due to malice that have gone out of control, so I have been asked to help deal with these matters. And the prince seems to have been assassinated by his subordinates with a strange magical object because of his abuse of his subordinates, I don't know if he is dead or not, in short, the murderer is now missing even the whereabouts of people and things. β
"This also happened this morning??"
Richard looked at Trainor, who was plucking his hair, and said, "Yes. There is also Fersak's declaration of war on Rune, and the god of knowledge and wisdom intends to establish diplomatic relations with what is now Intis......"
"The relationship between Rune and Intis is unknown, but it gives the impression that the Lord of the Storm has a big opinion about the current Creator."
"It feels like it's going to be hit."
601
Beckland, East End, a two-bedroom room.
Several policemen in black-and-white checkered uniforms followed the landlord who opened the door, each reaching out to cover his mouth.
There was a strong smell of blood inside!
"Officer, I don't know what happened, it was other tenants who said it seemed to be bleeding a lot, and they could smell it through the walls and doors." The landlord in the silk top hat looked timidly from side to side, unwilling to linger in the room for a second longer.
The black-sided, blue-eyed officer with the inspector's epaulette waved his hand and said:
"You wait at the door first, and I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, he put on his white gloves and set his eyes on the wooden door of his bedroom.
However, he did not rush in, and slowly looked around, taking in all the surrounding situation:
A pile of coals, cupboards for storing cutlery and ingredients, a small stove, a cleanly cleaned iron pot, a slightly greasy table, two round stools that fell on the floor, two chairs with reclining backrests, several glass bottles with unknown powders, and a stack of tarot cards that spread out.
"Occult enthusiasts with average financial means?" The dark-sided, blue-eyed inspector nodded slightly, made a judgment, and then motioned for one of his subordinates to open the bedroom door.
There was a squeak, and more of the smell of blood poured out.
The officer who opened the door glanced inside, let out a short exclamation, and staggered back a few steps.
The Inspector at the head frowned slightly, pressed the shoulders of the retreating officer, and stepped over the barrier and approached the bedroom.
His eyes swept away, and his face suddenly changed.
In the bedroom, on a wooden bed, a man lay there, his hands tied to the railing above his head.
He was undressed, his body was covered with thin, deep cracks, and his blood had long since dried up, staining the sheets below and the quilt next to him a dark red.
At a cursory glance, it was as if the dead man had been tightly wrapped in wires, strangled through the skin and flesh, and strangled into the bones.
Although many such images have been seen today, the police at this murder scene still have a powerful impact, and there is a certain sense of ritual evil.
Just as the lead inspector was about to say something, two people suddenly burst into the room, one tried to take a picture, and the other threw out a series of questions:
"Another murder?"
"Mr. Officer, this morning alone there have been more than ten riots and murders in Beckland! There are still many cult ceremonies and incomprehensible mysteries taking place near King Street, and people are taking the opportunity to demonstrate, is there nothing that can be stopped by the West Villas field? It is said that there are also police officers who accidentally injured people by misfire, is this true? β
"Officer, do you think it's a serial murder?"
The black-sided, blue-eyed inspector's brows furrowed even deeper, and he waved his hand and said:
"Don't destroy the scene, or I'll see you as accomplices to the criminals."
He immediately said to the officer in front of him:
"Calis, ask the two reporters to go out and tell them if there is any problem to contact the press office at Sivelas Field."
When the reporters were invited out of the murder scene, the inspector sighed and said:
"I'm going to see the newspaper again, damn it!"
β¦β¦
Intis, Trier.
In the most intimate small meeting room of the Cathedral of Light.
"Oh, I'm not putting pressure on you, it's your freedom to choose who you are, but I remember that you seem to prefer to raise Gu."
Edward cut the pastry and said to the true Creator, "It's normal for you to have them fight each other and choose the one that is more suitable, but to be honest, I don't think the Ares of War, Death, and Night are in some way the same, and they are not candidates for what you want." β
The True Creator was silent for a moment, then reached for a piece of cake that didn't look too sweet, and said calmly:
"Things won't turn out the way I thought they would."
"God of War, although Mother Earth God has such a natural alliance as a kinship with Him, Vorsack still regards the Mother Earth God Church as an evil god, does not give the right to preach, at best, gives more preferential treatment in the religious trials of cultists, and He does not have the virtues I need."
"Death. He may be a good choice, and control of essentia is a plus, in His eyes the nobles are equal to the commoners, and the living are equal to the dead. I don't doubt His equality, after all, there is only one person in the world of death who has power, and that is Himself. β
The true creator cut off the sharp corners of the cake with a fork, held it in his hand, and did not put it in his mouth for a long time: "The current Byran Empire...... It will take some time to judge whether it is good or bad, but if it is not as good as before, then there is really no need for the Grim Reaper to live. He wasn't human, and he didn't necessarily understand human needs, but He also knew that if he could run his country well, he would get a higher score. β
It's a question of whether mythical creatures are once humans.
"The Grim Reaper is trying to win your support."
The demon enjoyed the dessert: "I am afraid that the taste of eternal sleep is very unpleasant, he has been sleeping in the river of eternal darkness for so long, I guess he does not want to go back." β
"And what about the goddess of the night? What do you think of Him? β
The True Creator fell into deep thought, and then He sighed.
"Even now, dark night is still the best option. He is more experienced than the god of death, more suitable than the god of war, and is among the best of the seven gods in the management of the country and the diocese. Adam's cooperation with Him is actually an affirmation of the 'necessary sacrifice', if you don't intervene this time, the night will get the artificial death god and become a two-way true god, and Adam will also gather all the characteristics, as soon as the war begins, immediately complete the godhood ceremony and become a true god. Judging by the results, this is the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, and both the 'Eternal Darkness' and the 'All-Knowing Almighty' are ready to be in place. β
Edward snorted, but the real creator's words didn't mean much to blame the demons. After all, the real creator himself is the beneficiary of these butterfly effects, and if Adam becomes a "visionary", then he will have to merge with the other party.
"So you're planning to support Rune?" Edward said curiously, "Your attitude will influence Intis's choice. β
"Well, actually, I'm not interested in your choice, I just hope that you can fight to your heart's content, let me have a good time, the world before the end of the world should be chaotic, it's better - to be able to give birth to a new order in this chaos, more suitable for the order of this world."
"Intis will support Rune."
The True Creator spoke bluntly: "In ...... After the Goddess of the Night gave me the price of helping Him. β
Edward blinked, he understood something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What if he didn't do that?" β
"Then He will die."
The True Creator Master shrugged his shoulders humanely and said nonchalantly: "Angel Bonova has already returned first, and the Church of Steam and Mechanics in Rune will soon withdraw to the country of Intis and will not give technical support, but can go back at any time." Don't you think I'm already merciful? I am also willing to give Him a chance, a choice. If He misses this opportunity, His allies will not sit idly by. β
After hearing these words, Edward couldn't help but praise: "I feel that staying with the demon for a long time will definitely be affected. β
"So the devil is the best all-purpose excuse."
