Chapter 255: Holy Lord Faith

Ragnarok, which shook Rome.

Is their god gone? Isn't God eternal?

The citizens of Rome, in a panic, prayed with all their might, constantly holding sacrifices, but received no response.

However, the fire of the sacrifice burned and disappeared, and they sensed that the sacrifice had been successful, that is, the Godhead who received the faith and the sacrifice was still there, but it was nowhere to be found, or unconscious.

But what's the difference between that and a fall? The unwilling ruling class sent the brave to find the gods.

Top heroes and priests can go up to the Divine Court and go down to the Underworld, but those who go to the Divine Court say that it is empty, and only the powerful undead are left, occupying the great Divine Court.

And none of those who went to Hades returned.

"What the hell is going on, how can the gods be defeated......"

"Is the powerhouse of the Eastern Paganism so powerful?"

"The world after becoming a god, the world after death, and even the capital of the earth, have all fallen!"

"Fate, where do we go from here?"

The senators who fled from Rome retreated all the way to the northeast, and they did not dare to return to the city of Rome.

Originally, their capital, the city of Rome, fell to slaves.

Why evacuate? It's because the strong people from the east like the demon gods are too powerful, and they want to wait for the gods to settle the battle before cleaning up the old capital.

Who would have thought that the gods themselves were cleaned up.

Even so, even if their empire is strong and sure of destroying the Spartan rebels, they don't dare to do it, and the strong men in the east are like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and God knows when to cut it down.

"Report! There is an army in the rear chasing after you! ”

"What? The terrifying demon god is here? Do you want to destroy the world? ”

"No, it's not, it's the Roman army, look at the flag, it's the emperor......"

After listening to the report, the patriarchs were very surprised, the emperor? Constantine?

Didn't he swear to live and die with the city of Rome? Why did you still escape?

Co-authored and waited for them to run away before escaping? Isn't that fifty steps and a hundred steps laughing?

It seems that he understands everyone's behavior, knows how powerful the eastern powerhouse in the sky is, and in this great change of the collapse of the god system, everyone must unite, so he wants to ease the relationship.

Immediately, in a city called Milan, the noble army was on standby to meet the emperor's troops in normal terms.

No matter how you say it, this is also the emperor, and although the two sides have a falling out, they still have to be respected.

"Constantine, you already know about the fall of the gods, right?" An elder asked straight to the point.

Constantine sat on the throne, his eyes gloomy and distressed: "The gods of Rome have not fallen, they are immortal spirits created by the Lord, but they have been defeated and enslaved by the demon gods from the East!" ”

"They were forced to serve the demon gods, and some of them even betrayed their sacred mission and turned to Satan, where they degenerated into demons in a vain attempt to confront the One and Only Lord."

The major nobles present were at a loss, what Satan? What devil? What Lord? What is the emperor talking about?

However, some generals immediately understood and exclaimed: "Your Majesty! Do not be deceived by the pagan untouchables of Christianity, who believe in the One and Most God, and regard our worship as the spirit of their Lord's creation, which is blasphemous and disrespectful. ”

Only then did some of the nobles understand what Constantine was saying, and they said with disgust and distress: "Your Majesty, how can you believe such nonsense! ”

"This group of heretics spread their religion wildly among the slaves and the lower class, and the ancestors and priests of the past generations have not been able to get rid of them for three hundred years, which can be described as a great trouble for my Roman Empire."

"Your Majesty, if your words today get out, will it still be done? It's going to be a big mess! ”

The nobles were all believers in the Roman gods, with the blood and divine power of the gods, how could they tolerate the humble Christianity?

However, Constantine took the case, and the emperor's prestige swept the audience: "Is there a bigger mess than now!" ”

"Blasphemy? It's ragnarok! ”

"The old gods of Rome are dead! Where are the faces of the gods? ”

The nobles were suddenly stunned, their faces were gloomy, and they were powerless to refute.

It is an indisputable fact that their god has been overturned, and whatever they say now is like a redress.

Seeing this, Constantine said with majesty: "The old Roman gods were the spirits created by the Holy Lord, they were the messengers of the Lord, guiding the world, and it was the Lord who gave them authority in the world. ”

"Why, then, don't we trust the Lord directly?"

"What ......" the nobles were dumbfounded: "Constantine! Thou...... You want to change the state religion? ”

Constantine opened his arms and said, "I was going to defend the palace and live and die with the city of Rome, but the Lord ...... He inspired me to send Bishop Athanassi, who had been exiled by me, to deliver me from prison. ”

"Only then did I know that the gods are not to be feared, they are only angels of the Lord, who will be defeated or bewitched by the evil Satan and fall into the devil."

"Only the Lord is invincible, and only faith in the Lord can be saved."

There were many nobles below, and there was a commotion and discussions.

They understood what the emperor meant, and changed their gods.

They had a falling out at the palace before, and they told the emperor to wait for the gods to win and then recover the city of Rome.

As a result, they waited and waited, and waited until the gods were defeated.

At a time when faith is collapsing and the gods are in ruins, a change of religion may be a good choice.

"But...... Can I be converted even if I have killed so many Christians? ”

"Yes, the first emperor even lit them with sky lanterns...... Three hundred years ago, they crucified their Son......"

"And now, do you want us to trust their God?"

"And what are you talking about Satan? What devil? What angels? ”

The nobles did not know much about this religion, although it had been in their civilization for more than three hundred years, but because it was a conquered land, the religion of the slaves, so they were oppressed, and they all secretly preached at the bottom.

Listening to what Constantine said, he asked questions one after another.

Constantine made an inviting gesture towards the veil: "Let Bishop Athanassi speak to you." ”

Behind the curtain came an old man in a linen robe, holding a cross in his arms, his face full of vicissitudes.

"Satan is the ancient serpent who seduced mankind to wisdom, and led people to build civilization."

The crowd was in an uproar, what? Let mankind gain wisdom and guide mankind to build civilization?

Isn't that great? Isn't this Prometheus?

"So Prometheus is Satan? Then he is not evil, why don't we believe in Satan, but in your Lord? One of the patriarchs said disdainfully.

Bishop Athanasy held his head high and said, "A satanic civilization is a rebellious civilization, a civilization full of original sin. ”

"In the beginning the Lord created the world, and then He created mankind and all things, so that our ancestors could live in Paradise without worry."

"But Satan has rebelled against the Lord, and has been arrogant, and has instigated people to confront the Supreme Lord, in an attempt to usurp the authority of the Lord, and to deceive mankind into establishing an evil civilization."

"Since then people have lost their paradise and have become cunning, violent, mutacing, sinful, conceited, and ungodly in the Lord."

The Roman nobles looked at each other and said, "This is your mythology?" Titans who betrayed the gods? ”

"Now that the Roman gods have been overthrown, we believe in the Titans, why should we believe in your gods?"

Athanassi said calmly: "Foolish lambs, this is not a story, this is a fact, this is the truth! ”

"The gods are angels, but the spirits created by the Lord, and what we believe in is the supreme Lord."

If He is the Word of God, then He is the only true God! All the gods of all civilizations are false gods! ”

"The Titans who rebelled against the gods are the devils who live the Satanic creed, but it is not only the Titans who follow Satan."

"Qin Na, the civilization of the East, held aloft the totem of Satan thousands of years ago, and their gods were defeated by the forces of Satan."

"But they did not sink, and after civilization, they still threw themselves into the arms of the Lord, completed the transformation, became the people of heaven, and directly believed in the way of heaven, so that they had the glory they have today."

"And the way of heaven is the one and supreme Lord, the other name in the East, also known as 'God'."

One of the senators exclaimed, "Is that what the Roman gods call 'fate'?" ”

Constantine added: "Yes, all three, of the same name, are the root of everything, the foundation of the world, the unique and supreme Lord of all things." ”

"The East directly believes in the Lord, so the gods of the East, restricted by the Lord, the Qin Na civilization does not need to dedicate all its precious things to the gods, but only needs to believe in the way of heaven and become the people of heaven."

"And the evil Satan and the devils under his command have also been suppressed to this day."

"In fact, our civilization has a similar system, that is, Christianity, but they have always suffered from our misunderstanding and oppression."

"Now Satan's evil forces have reared their heads and destroyed the old Roman gods in an attempt to revive their power."

"We should be baptized as the Lord's people and converted the state religion to Christ in order to redeem ourselves."

"Do not care about the oppression of them in the past, the Lord loves the world, as long as you are baptized, the sins of the past will be washed away, and from then on you will be redeemed by believing in the Lord with all your heart."

The aristocrats finally understood that in the past, Rome believed in the gods, and the gods believed in fate.

Now the gods have been overthrown by Satan, according to the emperor...... Simply don't be a middleman, skip the gods, and directly believe in the only way of heaven like the East.

But they still don't understand why they don't follow Satan and believe in God.

"The man who came from the East is Satan, right? He defeated the gods, so powerful that even the Titans surrendered. ”

"Why should I believe in your Christianity?"

There are still nobles who are not convinced, they conquer countless kingdoms, and the concept of Christ was only the bottom of the faith, which is to fill the gap of slaves without the protection of the gods.

Now let them convert, and their hearts are not angry for a while.

"Satan was born in the East, and has had many images throughout the ages, and it is an evil creed, the embodiment of human sin, but it is also created by the Lord, the antithesis that the Lord has set for Himself. ”

"The man who conquered the underworld and overthrew the Roman false gods is indeed the current incarnation of Satan, and he is indeed powerful and cannot be destroyed."

"But he could not have overcome the Lord, for he was supposed to be the most powerful angel of the Lord, but out of the arrogance and original sin of the human heart, the Lord led him to stand against himself."

"If you believe in Him, you will be punished in Hell!"

"Oh?" The smiles of the Roman nobles disappeared, and if they didn't believe it, they would go to hell?

……

:I'm sorry.
