"Power...... I need strength...... Incomparably powerful ......"

After leaving the Tree of Chaos, the voice echoed in Musa's mind, as if the latter demon was constantly whispering and tempting.

She believed that if there was even the slightest loosening of her will, she would immediately swallow the dangerous fruit without hesitation.

Of course, it's not that she doesn't crave power, but that she doesn't quite believe in what a fruit with the ability to think for herself says.

Ever since she noticed that her memory was having trouble in her journey to becoming a god, she had always suspected that someone was secretly doing something, so she was very wary of anything related to Zhang Cheng.

While it may be tempting to swallow the fruit of the Tree of Chaos and become the supreme ruler of this planet, it must also be enjoyed by life.

Returning to the throne of the kingdom of the gods, the newborn goddess of darkness hides herself in a thick black fog, not knowing what she is thinking.

Only the souls of believers who have come here after death are still fanatically singing hymns in praise of the gods, and they have no idea what is really going on in this world.

In fact, entrusting one's spiritual world to something concrete, whether it is a god or something else, at any time and in any place, is a manifestation of extreme stupidity and ignorance.

Because this kind of behavior means that they give up independent thinking, skepticism and self-transcendence, and instead pin everything on a life being that is higher than themselves.

Over time, the entire system of civilization will fall into a long-term pause and no longer develop in a higher direction.

Religion, for the fool, is a kind of mental narcotic, by confiding in the gods, venting the pain, helplessness and stress of life, so as to ensure that it does not easily destroy the existing social order, no matter how backward and cruel this order may be.

But for the intelligent, religion is a tool that can be used to accumulate wealth, to control the mind, and to make the people at the bottom who are exploited and abused think that it is all a matter of fate.

......

Just as the Goddess of Darkness was deep in thought, in a remote border town, two women with amazing charms were sitting in front of a seat, staring at each other without squinting.

It was a full minute before Vilia smiled and said, "Good afternoon, dear Harrison daughter, it's a pleasure for you to be here to meet me. ”

"It is also a great honour for me to have your invitation, Your Majesty. The other queen stroked her long golden hair, stood up and bowed.

Although on the surface, both are the monarchs of the same country, the former who wields great power is clearly more powerful than the latter.

According to the general diplomatic norms on the road, when the difference in strength between the two countries is huge, the weaker side should take the lead in saluting the stronger one to show respect.

It's like when shaking hands in a diplomatic situation on the planet, the head of state of a weaker country always has to be more proactive.

"So without further ado, let's just talk openly and honestly. ”

After the two had exchanged a friendly greeting, Viglia immediately went straight to the point.

I saw that she first spread out a scroll full of small characters, and said in a rather playful tone: "This is a covenant signed by six kings in recent times, and they have also sent me an invitation. ”

"Did you say yes?"

The latter glanced at the handwriting on the scroll and couldn't help but smile.

"No, no. I'm not stupid, and I'm not so stupid as to think that I can use my army to make an enemy of a country favored by the gods. ”

Vilia didn't try to hide anything, and said what was in her heart.

To be precise, she is the only monarch in the surrounding countries who has not used administrative and military means to suppress the expansion of the Dark Church.

As for the rest of the creatures, who were accustomed to dictating from above, they did not understand what the true gods meant, and were frightened by the snowballing and terrifying expansion of the Dark Church, and continued to arrest those who tried to preach, and some even held public burning at the stake, just to deter the populace and make sure that they would think carefully about whether it was worth it when deciding on their faith.

"So what do you want to talk about? Or rather, what do you want from me? ”

The Queen, known as Harrison's Daughter, crossed her hands over her chest, and her eyes gleamed with a strange light.

You must know that the title "Harrison's daughter" is not a casual call, but a hint, a kind of irony, that she is not worthy of the title of king for the time being.

However, compared to those titles such as "Fatherkiller", "Vicious Daughter", and "Femme Fatale", "Harrison's Daughter" is quite mild, at least acknowledging her birthright to inheritance in terms of blood.

There is no doubt that Viglia is trying to give the young counterpart a blow and then firmly take the initiative in the next negotiations.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to care too much about this kind of belittling and provocation, and still maintained a polite smile, not even a little annoyed.

"It's not what I want to get, it's what you're willing to give. You know? I have a lot of options, but yours only have two. "Viglia clearly doesn't want to be the one who unveils his cards first and continue to put pressure on him.

"Hehe, you're really cunning. Well, who made me the underdog. My condition is simple, sign a covenant to make the Dark Church the only legitimate religion in the kingdom. In return, the Dark Goddess will protect you and your family, and even if we meet in the future, the Goddess will not take sides. ”

As she spoke, the young queen winked at the attendants behind her.

The latter understood and hurriedly took out the treaty that had been prepared long ago and put it on the table.

"That's all?" said Vilia, frowning deliberately, feigning dissatisfaction.

In fact, the fact that the goddess does not intervene in mortal battles is enough to satisfy her.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do with the land of one-third of the empire that my father Harrison personally built in the palm of your hand? What's more, with the support of the Goddess, you can turn the spearhead and declare war in the name of religion against those countries that persecute the church and preach, right?"

"What about you, what are you going to do next?"

"I, of course, want to talk to my siblings and make them realize who my father's true heir is. ”

"In that case, I have signed this covenant. By the way, I wish you the best of luck in defeating all competitors and regaining the glory of the Lions of Oros. ”

"Thank you!"
