Almost everyone on the Ferron Road knows that the most basic connection between gods and believers is faith. It is a kind of psychological and behavioral identification, and if a believer violates the teachings of that deity, then he will be abandoned by the deity and either become an unbeliever or convert. Normally, the inhabitants of the city have abandoned their beliefs, and the gods should let them go freely.

But that's not what the guardian in front of him means. They have even forgotten the names of the gods they once believed in, but are still forced to continue their service. You must know that this kind of compulsion does not bring any power at all, and even pollutes the divinity, which is completely suicidal.

Thinking of this, Henry frowned and asked, "In that case, why don't you pray to the gods to let you go?" ”

Looking at the numb crowd on the street, the Guardian sighed and replied, "I don't know, maybe it's an oath, maybe it's an agreement, in short, as long as the gods haven't fallen, we will continue to serve like this." Look at the inhabitants of the city, each and every one of them is filled with hatred for the temple. They don't even understand why they have to endure inhuman torture like this, and their responsibilities and beliefs have long since ceased to exist with the passage of time. ”

"Thank you for the news, if you don't mind, we're going to go in now and see what's going on inside." As he spoke, Henry turned around and was about to push open the door of the temple. He had been given enough information to believe that the rest could only be found inside.

The Guardian yelled at everyone's backs, "I know you're all here for the artifact, take it, we're just guards in name only." Just like those unconscious skeletons. You could hear it in his slouchy voice. Not only did this man no longer revere the gods he once believed in. And hopefully someone will be able to completely destroy it.

"Damn! As a believer, how could he do this to his God! Seile Love muttered indignantly.

"Isn't the reason why the gods are feared and served by mortals is that they are always fulfilling their responsibilities? Since the deity in this temple has abdicated his responsibilities, it is a matter of course to be abandoned by the believers. With that, Henry ignored the stunned expressions of his teammates, pushed open the door and walked in.

His bold remarks can be said to put the gods and mortals on a relatively equal footing, and to see faith as a transaction. The gods were pulled down from their high positions and were subject to their own responsibilities just like mortals. This is diametrically opposed to the idea of theocratic supremacy prevailing on the Ferron Road, so it is inevitable that it will not be understood by others.

As a man who had been educated in materialism for more than a decade, Henry never felt that there was anything to be feared about the gods themselves. These guys are nothing more than a special kind of life form with immense power. Once it loses the support of mortals, it will immediately be pulled into the astral plane and become a corpse. What's more, mortal beliefs can also have a certain influence on God, and the more believers believe, the greater the influence, and in the end, they may even be forced to change their own thoughts.

He doesn't think these guys who can't even keep their hearts are not trustworthy at all, especially the recent appearance of the mad god Ciric proves this. Countless believers have been driven mad by his doctrine of the one true God of the universe, and in the end they have gained nothing but the destruction of their families.

As soon as they entered the temple, everyone suddenly heard a low roar in their ears: "Hatred! Boundless hatred! Wrath! Carrying painful anger! Attack as much as you like! Drain to your heart's content! ”

"Look what that's that!" Hina, who has night vision, pointed in the direction of the altar and shouted.

Following the direction she pointed out, everyone saw a red, transparent monster. It had an ugly, misshapen body, a huge head with over ten eyes and a large mouth, and fangs as terrifying as a shark. Obviously. The monster was hostile to all who entered the temple, and slowly crawled towards the door with disgusting saliva.

Kaidong's face was filled with a look of disgust. He frowned and asked, "What kind of monster is this, a demon?" ”

Henry shook his head slightly and explained, "No, this is the embodiment of the hatred of the inhabitants outside, a distorted body of mind. Be careful not to attack with weapons or spells, as each attack increases its power. ”

To be honest, he wondered what kind of resentment could have given birth to this projection. You must know that this disgusting monster already has the mind of a beast, and in a few hundred years, it will be able to have its own soul and will, and if it is connected to the abyss, it may give birth to an incomparably powerful demon lord.

"Can't attack? So what can we do to get rid of it? Ammon asked curiously.

"This monster is the embodiment of negative emotions, so any positive energy or healing magic can cause great damage." Saying that, Henry gave a demonstration to everyone. Unhurriedly, he pulled out a healing potion from his belt and poured it on the monster's head.

I saw that the dark blue potion that was supposed to have a healing effect was like a strong acid, quickly corroding the monster's skin, and in just a few seconds, a part of the monster's body completely disappeared.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Yao En grew his mouth in surprise and asked, "Wow! This is really unexpected. Are you sure you're not having a strong acid or something? ”

Henry smiled and replied, "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can try it yourself." In addition, healing spells are equally effective. ”

After seeing the specific effect, everyone took out the healing potion and holy water on their bodies and poured it down, and in a few seconds, the monster created by hatred was completely purified. At the moment when it disappeared, the fire on the altar was suddenly lit, followed by a brilliant light that illuminated everyone's eyes.

With his extraordinary physique, Henry vaguely saw a man walking out of the altar with the radiance of divinity all over his body. He looked like he had just woken up from a deep slumber, his face full of confusion and confusion. There is no doubt that this is a divine sage with powers that are beyond the reach of mortals.

As the light diminished little by little, the temple finally returned to normal. The Sage glanced at everyone for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Hmm...... Who are you? Why is it in my temple? ”

Henry bowed slightly and asked, "That's exactly what we're asking, are you the god enshrined in this temple?" ”

The Sage thought for a few minutes, then nodded and replied, "Even if the god is me, this temple is equivalent to me." Although it is no longer safe. That twisted monster continues to eat away at my body, taking power that belongs to me. You've wiped it out for the time being, but it won't be long before it returns again. Monsters use believers as food, and I become weaker and weaker because of it. ”

"So this is your temple? Unfortunately, I have the bad news for you, those out there are not your followers at all, or they don't believe in you anymore. After saying that, Henry carefully observed the other party's reaction. However, the Sage's expressionless face and glazed eyes disappointed him greatly.

"But they have to serve me, it's agreed. Guarding and defending this place, I, as a god, give them life, which is an eternal contract. The Sage spoke the truth in an emotionless voice.

It's no wonder that the inhabitants of this place have dull expressions and wander around with nothing to do. Whoever keeps dying, resurrecting, dying and resurrecting again, and the cycle repeats, sooner or later, it will become like this. After all, there is a limit to what a soul can endure, so it's normal to selectively forget some harsh realities.

After learning the truth, a sneer appeared on Henry's face, and he no longer had any respect for the fallen god in front of him. He pointed to the door and sarcastically, "When are you going to do it?" Guarding a god who can't even protect himself is afraid that no fool will want to. Accept the reality that you have been abandoned by the believers and have nothing to gain but hatred. ”

The Sage showed a look of sudden realization and muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder I couldn't hit that monster. It was their hatred and grievance, and whether they wanted it or not, the terrible monster had become an object of their worship. Time has passed, and I can never make a comeback. Even though the artifact was full of power, it was no longer as dangerous as it had been imagined. I weep for my people. If they don't think of me again, I'll be dead and they'll still be there. ”

"Isn't that what you want? Let those who believe in you die. Henry sarcastically dismissed. After such a long period of observation, he finally saw through the reality of this guy. Although he is a saint, he does not have any mortal power, not even a legendary magic can completely destroy it. There is no need to be afraid of such a god who is about to die, not to mention that he is completely to blame for the fate he has fallen into now.

The Sage may have seen through life and death, and simply ignored the mockery in his words. In a low, sad voice, he explained, "They will welcome death, but not the present death in which the soul is bound, but the real death, and all will rejoice with me in the Castle of the Eternal Sun." ”

"According to the contract, I must guard the artifact until the time is up. The makers of this artifact belong to a rather special race, and perhaps you have heard their name, the Creators, the first intelligent beings born in this land. It's a terrible weapon, and if it's filled with energy, it can even threaten the gods, so it's sealed here and never see the light of day. ”

I should be able to reinterpret these conventions and interpret them as the termination of "I." The purpose of the contract is to prevent people from using this artifact again, and if it really comes to the end of time, then the last thing to do is to destroy it, but I don't have such power anymore. Adventurer, I ask for your help to unleash all the remaining power of the artifact, so that I can use the last of my strength to completely destroy it. (To be continued......)
