Chapter 1272: Stupid Villain Refuse to enter
"Cultist, this is not the place you can go in, get out of here!"
Completely different from the previous net opening side, when facing such a guy, the Lightbringer showed the most stern tone and the toughest attitude. And his attitude was something that the guy who was selected didn't expect. So immediately, he screamed in dismay.
"Why, my lord, am there anything I am not qualified? Why is that woman qualified to enter and I can't, why! β
"Because your soul is too dirty, mortal!" When confronted with questions, the Lightbringer's answer was very direct. "I see the sins you have committed. In the first half of your life, you used religion and belief to hurt others wantonly, and all those who disagreed with you in their beliefs were regarded by you as enemies. For ridiculous reasons, you even commit crimes and murder other people's lives. This must not be tolerated. You should be glad that my Lord did not give me the mission to slay evil, otherwise at this moment, I would have cut off your head with my sword, so that the soul of your body can rest in peace! β
Faced with the angry and righteous Lightbringer, the man couldn't help but flinch. However, when he saw the Pure Land of the Sanctuary that was only one step away from him, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. Over the past few months, he had experienced the worst thing of his life, and it was torture for him, an experience that he definitely didn't want to be continued. And now, the opportunity to change everything is clearly in front of his eyes, but someone wants him to give up all this, how is this possible.
So almost subconsciously, the man had the idea of breaking in. But fortunately, his sanity was still there, and he was still very aware of how impossible it was for a mere mortal to break through the gate guarded by the messenger of the gods. The odds of success are absolutely slim, and there's a good chance he'll be lost here. So it's definitely not a good thing to break into. So what else can he do besides breaking through?
The man's mind was pondering, and he watched the lightbringer's face grow more and more impatient. He immediately plucked up his courage and said to him.
"My lord, what I did in the first place was really not right. But I did it for the sake of my faith, for the sake of the true God I believed in in the first place. And when I found out that the true God does not exist, it is a false deception. I had given up that faith and regretted what I had done. Yes, I regret everything I did. Those actions that hurt others are absolutely unacceptable. But my lord, I'm also a victim. β
"I was deceived by those demagogues, I was deceived by them. I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, it's just those people who dictate what I'm doing. I'm just a man of devout faith, but I've done wrong by believing in that damn god too much. Couldn't the great Ming King give me a chance to mend my ways? β
Tears flowed. The man cried at him, almost holding the lightbringer's thigh. He cried and assured him with an oath.
"Your Excellency. I am a devout man, and I swear to you that I can do anything for my faith. In the past, I had gone astray to believe in those damn evil gods. But now that I have woken up, I know what kind of existence I really believe in, what kind of existence is truly great. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I am willing to give everything I have for the sake of His Majesty King Ming. I swear! Give me a chance, my lord. His Majesty will need me, he will need a devout disciple like me! β
What do the gods ask of mortals? The man didn't know the answer. But he believed that the gods would not be selfless to mankind, that he could not be so merciful, and that there was no other existence in this world who could be so merciful. He must have asked for something, and this demand is probably a price that ordinary people cannot afford.
And what is there that the average person can't afford? Having worked in a religious career, he knew very well that there was one thing that was in line with this value judgment, and that was one's faith.
Belief in this thing has incredible power. He can make a person lose all his sanity, and he can go crazy to give everything he has for a simple statue carved of wood and stone. This is not alarmism, but his own experience, he has seen many people desperately charge towards death for a crazy slogan, for the sake of some people's nonsense, can sacrifice their wives and children.
It's definitely the craziest thing in the world, but it's probably what the gods would love to see. Isn't it just what humans need to put themselves humbled at the feet of the gods as a way to flatter their supremacy? If there is anything else in this world that man has and the gods want, then he believes that it must be this insane belief.
Yes, that's it. Even a guy like King Ming must need humans to bow down to him. As a god, he is supreme, and this supremacy obviously needs someone to highlight it. And what could be better than man's devout faith in him? If not, the answer must be no.
He needs this, he needs to take the lead in doing it all himself. Just like a pope in a religion who listens to God's will, if he can lead people to worship him and believe in him. Then your value to him will be infinitely magnified. He will definitely accept himself, he will.
The man's heart was thinking of almost crazy thoughts, and for such crazy thoughts, he put all his faith into them without reservation. In his opinion, even King Ming would have no reason to refuse to do so. Because he can make a good start, he can make more people dedicate their faith to his existence. He thinks that he is doing this for the sake of King Ming, even if it is for the sake of his own hard work, King Ming should accept himself.
Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking on his part. It wasn't as he hoped. And this is reflected in reality, when the Lightbringer unceremoniously chokes him by the neck and lifts him up like a chicken.
"Shut up, you stupid mortal. Do not speculate on the mercy of our Lord with your disgusting and vile thoughts. Do you think that by your ridiculous words you can deceive anyone, do you think that if you do this, my lord will ignore the sins you let go? No, you're naΓ―ve, poor worm. My Lord will not accept you, and he will not accept your filthy existence into the land he has sheltered. There is only one fate for you, and that is to rot and die with it in this rotten land. Fuck off, and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, promise the Lord that I will purify you once and for all with my sword and turn you to ashes in the flames! β
With a vicious threat, the Lightbringer threw the man in his hand straight away. The man was thrown to the ground by him, and he was all over the ground in a puff of smoke. He groaned in pain before he got up from the ground. When he got up, he looked at the Lightbringer's eyes again with unforgettable hatred.
There is nothing more hateful than this complete disconnection of other people's hopes. However, because of the difference in strength between the two, this man did not dare to make any moves. He could only give the Lightbringer a hard look, and then slipped into the crowd without saying a word.
It is conceivable that such a person will never give up. He's going to do something retaliating. But what could he do? The Lightbringer didn't care at all, for it seemed to him to be nothing more than a bug's struggle. Compared to the bug's struggles, it was clear that his mission was a little more important, so he soon returned to his work.
"Next one, it's you. A mortal little girl. I've seen you, a girl with a child by your side. Your heart is pure and firm. It's good, you didn't give up a weak little life in such a bad world. This is encouraged, as soon as you are a little too young as a mother, but there is no doubt that you are a good mother. My Lord will accept a strong mother like you, and the doors of the sanctuary have been opened to you. You may go in, may my Lord bless you and your children! β
With a wave of his hand, a young mother and her baby were sent into the shelter, and the Lightbringer was once again named and screened. And just as he was doing so, not far from the shelter, a train of trucks had quietly stopped.
A man in uniform with a weapon stepped out of the truck, and they looked toward the shelter before they exchanged words.
"Is that what we're aiming for? I've seen it, there are so many people! Are all these people here for this shelter? β
"Isn't that obvious? Don't forget who they are, they're just bugs tossing in this wasteland. They can do anything to survive, and now that a place is in front of them where they can survive safely, do you think they would give up this opportunity? β
"It's ridiculous to believe the words of these bullshit gods. Instead of pinning everything on them, you should think about how you can make yourself stronger. Although this country has been destroyed, as long as you have the power, you can still enjoy the taste of being a human being. I don't even understand such a simple truth, I deserve to be a worm for a lifetime. β
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let those people come down and let them see if they will be accepted by the so-called gods. And, don't forget about our mission. The people in that carriage must be safely transported to the shelter! β
