Chapter 31: Betrayal and Soul Destruction

Taboo, this cold word usually means something that cannot be touched.

If it rises to the point where the whole continent is unforgivable, there are usually only two.

The first is rebellion. However, the gods here do not refer to the residence of Ainis, the goddess of light, or Enis, the goddess of darkness. Things like betrayal of the faith and monastic transgressions, although punishable, are not so bad. The only god who cannot be betrayed is Evette, the goddess of creation.

And the so-called betrayal does not refer to such a thing as faith or non-belief, atheists can be found everywhere, even Lori herself. The so-called betrayal refers to not only not being able to face the goddess, nor can you betray the world created by the goddess. In short, as long as you don't plan to slaughter gods, or join the Void-twisting Void faction to attack the continent of Ivite, such as during Ragnarok, it's not a big deal.

It is impossible for the Holy Sect to be so abnormal that it is ready to take revenge on the world, so the taboo in Sharuzod's mouth is naturally not this one, but ......

"You know what? That assassin was not only destroyed, but even burned his soul!"

With a heavy tone, Sharuzod said gloomily.

For a while, there was silence all around, and even the needles on the ground were a little harsh.

"What if...... This incident was really confirmed to be the so-called words of the Holy Church of Salman...... So ......"

Karen's mouth was a little dry for a moment, because ......

"Then the Holy Church of Salman must be destroyed. โ€

Sharuzod nodded affirmatively......

Talking about death, each mythological system has its own interpretation of death and after death. On the continent of Ivite. After the death of life, the soul will travel to Santanam, the capital of the dead, where the soul has the only refuge. Lulan, the goddess of Hades, will judge everyone who dies there. After that, these souls will begin their final journey, the Soul Tour.

Depending on the severity of the crime, the arduous journey will also vary greatly, and the journey of the good will be accompanied by peace and tranquility and culminating in the sanctuary of reincarnation, where one of the previous lives will be cleansed and reincarnated back in the continent of Ivite.

The journey of the worst of sinners will be filled with suffering and torment, and they will eventually fall into the tower of sinners. A hellish place to be punished.

But in either case, it must be noted that there is no punishment for the destruction of the soul itself.

And this is the second taboo that cannot be violated - destroying the soul.

Nothing incomprehensible. The destruction of the soul is an extremely strict thing in any mythological story.

This is not only because it extinguishes the whole life of a life from birth to death and even after death, and completely and completely obliterates it from this world. It's even more troublesome. For the reincarnation system of the Ivette Continent. As long as the soul is immortal, the balance between life and death will be maintained, and the elimination of the soul means that as long as the goddess does not create a new soul, it is equivalent to the eternal loss of a living creature on the continent.

If it is not stopped, it will be a serious blow to the normal operation of the whole world. Yes, this is the second taboo.

As an unforgivable taboo, punishment is naturally severe. There are very few punishments on the continent of Ivete, even the Duke. Even if the king commits a crime, the most he can do is beheading. But rebellion against the gods is different from soul destroying, and if a clan sins, the clan will be destroyed. If a country commits a crime, it will destroy the country.

Historically, the source of taboos has come from two races.

Long before Ragnarok began, the power of the Void began to tempt the weak-willed. It starts out as goblins, a fragile, greedy race that excels at engineering and destruction. The forces of the Void have their sights on these weak creatures, promising them more powerful technology and terrifying destructive power, and in return, they must sacrifice themselves to the Void.

As a result, these greedy beings were bewitched by power and became the vanguard of the Void forces' invasion of the continent of Evite. Wielding bombs loaded with unstable chaotic matter, they unleashed a bloody slaughter on various other races, especially their nemesis, the same tech-savvy but goblin-hating gnomes.

On the other hand, in the face of the bloody slaughter of goblins, the gnomes were powerless to resist, and the power of the chaos bomb was too powerful for ordinary magic and technology to compete with.

In the end, the gnomes, who were not only good at technology, but also had many mage talents, under the leadership of a necromancer, created a soul bomb that used the soul as a medium to detonate.

This inhumane weapon forced the dwarfs to frantically collect the souls of the dead on the battlefield, which not only caused the indignation of other races, but also destroyed the balance between life and death.

And so, God's punishment came. The goddess of darkness, Enis, used her power to shield the light from her sister Ainis, whether it was goblins or gnomes, they were all shrouded in eternal darkness, the earth could not reach out to the fingers, there was no temperature, the blizzard was howling every day, there was no sunlight, and even weeds did not want to grow around these people. Eventually, in this boundless darkness, the gnomes and goblins ushered in the end.

Even the few rebels who escaped under God's punishment lost the right to live on this continent, and they were unanimously defeated by all the remaining races, and eventually, the two races disappeared in the long river of history.

It was also after that that the betrayal of the goddess and the destruction of the soul were listed as absolute taboos on the continent of Ivete.

However, this is not the strictest consequence of violating taboos. Because, the strictest taboo even affected the existence of the shrine.

The goddess of darkness, Enis, who complemented the goddess of light and was the twin goddess of each other, ruled against two races, but at the end of Ragnarok, she betrayed the goddess Evette and fought against her, and was finally sealed at the bottom of the Tower of Sinners, becoming the only goddess who symbolizes betrayal and depravity since ancient times.

This is also the most serious betrayal in history.

In any case, as a taboo, whether it is to betray the goddess or to destroy the soul of miรจ, it is unforgivable. So this time...... Salman Holy Church ......

"As an attendant of the gods, he has violated the taboo so openly in the fall of the gods, and if the goddess of light suddenly resurrects one day, he may be angry with them again. โ€

Karen sneered and sarcastically.

However, although the Salman Holy Church violated the taboo, it also did it beautifully. Originally, Sharuzod had planned to find a necromancer to use the conjuring to get to the bottom of the matter. As a result, I didn't expect that the other party would not even let go of the soul and completely destroy all the clues. (To be continued......)
