Chapter 151: The Ancient King
"If the assumption that the apostles were sent by the gods is true, then we can move on to the next assumption - that I am God. (For the latest chapters, please visit)"
In the eyes of the ascetics of the Brotherhood of the Darkmoon, the gods are essentially the embodiment of the laws of order, so they also have a more objective attitude towards the gods. But this objective attitude is regarded as heresy by believers in the gods, and if it were changed to another time and place, Katyusha would fight with Shirley without saying a word.
As a knight of the Templars who was given the title of God, her belief in God is stronger than that of ordinary believers, and God loves the world and God is omnipotent...... This unwavering belief made up her entire outlook on life, and it was because of this that she could not tolerate any doubts about the gods.
However, she was even more shocked that Marivian, who was also a devout person, did not side with her.
"The sage's assumptions are not nonsense. Marivian pondered for a moment, then nodded, "For as long as I have a memory, that power has been hidden in my body, and I have never hidden anything from the goddess. I also used to feel lost about this and prayed to the goddess for answers. The goddess said that it was my innate talent, and I don't have to care, just go with the flow......"
She stretched out a finger and released a milky white holy light full of life power, and the holy light condensed and compressed on the tips of her fingers, gradually becoming like substance. She shook her fingers, and a cluster of purple flames immediately burned from her fingers, greedily devouring the condensed holy light, and bursting into the air with a small spark.
"In retrospect, the goddess must have known about it, but she didn't tell me anything. The essence of this purple flame is still life, but it distorts the form of expression, and at the level of rules, it is also the realm of the goddess. ”
"The gods are above, and you can still use the light?" exclaimed Katyusha. No one knew better than she what that light meant, and it was the truest proof that Mary Vienne had not lost her divine favor even after committing such a sin. On the other hand, it means that she still represents God's will!
"That's right, she is still the Holy Sister of the Temple of Life, and even if we kill her now, the true Apostle will still be able to retain this identity after her arrival, just like Her Highness Pandora. Shirley was very happy with Katyusha's shock.
"Now that you've confirmed this yourself, it's much easier for me to explain the rest of the story. (Read the latest chapter, please visit)" Shirley clapped her hands to draw the attention of the two people back to herself, coughed and continued.
"Speculating on the gods with mortal wisdom is not only blasphemous, but also theoretically unfeasible. The gap between us and the gods is like a rabbit and a wolf, and from the rabbit's point of view, it is impossible to understand why wolves eat meat...... However, the two are not without commonalities, rabbits eat grass and wolves eat rabbits, both for the purpose of survival. ”
"Mr. Rogrid assumes himself as a god, and the god in this hypothesis is only a symbol, and we can understand him with the wisdom of mortals as a king with unlimited power. Now why should this king send his messengers into his own territory to slaughter his own people?"
As a result, the apostles brought calamity...... Do you think that this little mess caused by the loss of control of your own power is a disaster? The appearance of Count Sneiker, the appearance of the Earthwalking Legion, the appearance of plagues and undead, these seemingly unrelated natural disasters**, are all attracted here by you. ”
Shirley glanced at Marivian, and the smile on her face grew cold.
"The Apostle is the 'Beacon of Fate', because of your appearance, the fate of everyone around you has begun to distort, and the disaster that was basically impossible to happen in theory has infinitely increased the probability of occurrence under the influence of the 'Destiny Logo'. So it's time to put away your feelings of remorse and self-blame. Compared to the other disasters you are about to cause, your little hypocrisy will not solve anything!"
Marivian's body shuddered a little, and she buried her head between her legs and sobbed under her breath.
"Hey, hey, I don't think that's what we're talking about!" said Katyusha, glaring at Shirley.
"Well, back to the question, why did God send the apostles?" Shirley rubbed her face to focus her attention, the question about the apostles was too unreal, and almost all of the speculation was based on assumptions, and these interrelated hypotheses piled up into a hive-like complex model. To explain this to two devotees, it would take a lot of brainpower to use even the simplest language.
It is recorded in the teachings of the gods that "Garrosa, the most ancient king, ruled the whole world, enslaving his people with violence and fear." The gods heard the prayers of mortal grief and despair, and sent messengers to Garrosa to make a request......"
In the sixth verse of the second book of the ancient epic, Galrosa rejected the advice of the gods, insisted on going his own way, and finally died of divine punishment, his empire fell apart, and the civilized races of the land entered a new era. "Mary Vienne remembered many religious texts best, and Shirley only mentioned them at the beginning and immediately found the source.
"It is already an open secret that the ancient epics preserved by the Sect of the Gods have been modified beyond recognition. The truth of the legend of the oldest king of mankind is difficult to verify, but the focus of this story is that the 'messenger of the gods' first appeared in the mortal world. Both the elect and the holy ones are devout ones chosen by the gods from among the human beings, and this messenger is from heaven. Based on some of the other clues that Mr. Rogrid has found, we have reason to believe that the messenger was the original 'apostle'. ”
"Even if he is an apostle, what does that mean?" asked Katyusha, puzzled.
"Excluding the mythological storylines, from the point of view of objective facts, the cause is the rule of the ancient king, through his struggle with the gods, and the end of his death and the fall of the empire. We don't know exactly what role the original messenger played, but from the essence of the incident, it was the gods who killed the most ancient king, so why did the gods at that time go out of their way to kill a mortal?"
"Is there no end to this question?please, how do I know the answer?, please just tell me the final conclusion!" Katyusha said bitterly, rubbing her temples. To make a Templar who specializes in combat think about such esoteric questions is nothing short of masochistic.
"I don't have any patience, I think Mr. Rogrid told me about it all day and night. If you don't make these assumptions clear, I'm afraid that the final truth will destroy your worldview in an instant, are you sure you just want to know the final answer?" Shirley blinked, although the expression on her face was very cautious, but the tone of her voice was full of encouragement.
"Tell me the answer directly. Katyusha ate the apple in two bites and said categorically.
"Well, that's your choice, don't say it's impossible. A narrow smile flashed in Shirley's eyes.
The legend of the Ancient King was no longer studied, and Mr. Rogrid finally came to the conclusion that Garrosa had reached the pinnacle of what a mortal could reach, but that he wanted more...... He wants to be a god!"
Katyusha's face stiffened.
"The gods would certainly not allow mortals to challenge such limits, so they sent messengers to kill Garrosa and at the same time bring disaster to the earth, destroying Garrosa's empire. ”
"Wait a minute, why ......" Katyusha couldn't help but interrupt Shirley's **, just now she said that she didn't want to listen to endless inferences, but she didn't expect such a jumpy and explosive truth.
The corollary from this legend is that humans were once capable of becoming gods, but the gods would never tolerate it. Like the king of the mortal world, the people have the power to overthrow his rule, but the king must not tolerate threats to his power and position, so he wants to nip the danger in the bud. ”
"Humanity itself is a race of great potential, and throughout the thousands of years of recorded history, various legends of genius have emerged. And when the race as a whole developed to its heyday, this heritage became more and more profound. Just like the most ancient king of the year, Garrosa, he himself was the most legendary hero of his time, and then he took the final step with the power of the entire empire......"
Seeing Katyusha's and Marivian's dull eyes, Shirley's speed of speech gradually slowed down, and she was not surprised by the reaction of the two people, because the amount of information that Rogrid deduced was so large that it took her nerves enough to digest it for a day and a night, not to mention these two clergy who had strong beliefs.
"So it wouldn't be difficult for the gods to kill one Garrosa, but if they didn't destroy the human empire at that time, it wouldn't be long before a second or third Garrosa would appear. ”
On the premise of this goal, the purpose of the apostle's coming is self-evident. Human civilization has once again developed to the point where the gods feel threatened, which means that there are once again heroes in the human race who can be gods......"
Shirley's voice stopped abruptly, and her body suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the far corner, and a large crater appeared in the place where she had been sitting.
When she heard the news that humans might be "gods", Katyusha severed the nerves in her head. She directly summoned the Heavenly Armament, raised the double-headed flail in her hand and smashed it directly at Shirley. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
