Foolish Game of the Gods

I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...

Chapter 523 I brought you His forgiveness!

It's a scam!

The messenger of [Corruption] brings neither His mercy nor His wrath, but... the deception of [Fraud].

To be more precise, it should be called a [Foolish] scam.

The messenger standing in the square wearing a black robe and a hood was naturally the [Silent] hunter Qu Yan. He held high a dagger that seemed to be a gift from God, which exuded a pure [decay] breath.

That was certainly not a gift from God, and was just an ordinary dagger. The hunter simply hid a stone of the end of the grave in his sleeve, making the dagger look like it had endless power of [decay].

But how could ordinary people see the clues of this dagger? All the residents of Kannar who were infected by the breath of [decay] came out of their warm homes, poured into the streets, and then followed His guidance and walked towards the Rossna Recruiting Square. When they saw the mysterious messenger holding the "God's Gift", they prostrated themselves devoutly.

They didn't even dare to look directly at the face of God's messenger, and could only lie on the ground and shout excitedly.

The people knew nothing about the escape of the Rossna royal family. They were still hoping that someone could lead the corrupt Rossna Empire to win the war against the Destroyers. So when they saw the messenger holding up the "God-given thing", hope arose in the hearts of many people, the hope of survival.

But is it really like this?

Maybe that’s not entirely true. No one knows how much piety is contained in this noise that almost drowns out the sound of the wind and snow.

Cheng Shi only knew that when the first resident appeared in the square and knelt down, the missing energy bar in his ring was instantly filled again.

He nodded thoughtfully, then casually released a bolt of lightning towards the main hall of the Rossna Imperial Court behind him.

"boom--"

Thunder roared out of nowhere, and the huge sound made the people who appeared one after another become more humble and hunched, and the energy in his ring that he had just used up was instantly recharged again.

Cheng Shi smiled. Without hesitation, he launched five thunderbolts in succession, smashing and destroying many buildings in the imperial court. However, even with this use, the energy in the Fun Ring never dropped.

Full, always full.

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and continued with the thunder punishment. He had never poured out thunder so freely before. He stopped only after almost all the buildings in the imperial court were swept by the thunder. However, at this time, the fun ring was still fully charged.

This also means that the entire square is filled with fear, so much fear that it's terrifying!

If what these people shouted was from the heart and what they said was from piety, then why did such a huge amount of fear gather in the square after seeing the arrival of the messenger of the savior?

"This is truly a contradictory country. The people believe in Him but receive no blessings. They want to be more pious but this makes the empire weaker. When it becomes so weak that it almost collapses with a single blow, most people give up their faith. But when they are about to perish, they develop a reliance and hope in this only belief. But when this reliance and hope emerge, they become afraid.

Look, Galen, this scene is so spectacular that it will go down in history.

I don't sense any reverence here in Rosna Recruiting Square, all I smell is fear.

The people walked out of their homes and poured into the streets, probably not to follow the messenger of God in the square. Perhaps they were just like the royal family of Rosna, afraid that hiding at home would anger the other party and thus suffer divine punishment.

Ram, oh Ram, you died too early. I don’t know whether you can feel the fear gathered in the square while hiding in the ring.

Are you afraid too?

I know you are in there, and I know you can hear me. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Cherish this fear, because there will always be a moment when you can no longer be afraid.

The Screaming Count, who feeds on fear, died of fear. This is the closing circle of fate."

Cheng Shi kept talking to himself in words that Old Galen couldn't understand. The frail historian's eyes widened as he listened. Although he didn't understand, he was still shocked by the thunder and the scene before him.

This was almost a gathering that would determine whether the Rossna Empire would be destroyed or not, because almost all the survivors in the city were here.

If these three adults want the Rossna Empire to be destroyed, then they only need to pour the thunder on the people again, and this country that believes in [corruption] will be completely decayed and turned into the ashes of history.

But will this lord... do this?

Old Galen didn't know, but as a historian, a historian who hesitated between piety and impiety, an idea suddenly arose in his mind, a crazy idea.

He wanted to record the last piece of history for the country where he once lived.

Even if the Rossna Empire will no longer exist after this, he will have fulfilled his last duty as a historian.

Of course, this duty was not to the Rosna royal family, but to the Rosna Empire where he had lived for more than thirty years and had complicated emotions.

But he didn't know whether he still had the right to record all of this, so he looked up at Cheng Shi beside him. But when he was about to ask, Cheng Shi smiled at him meaningfully and suddenly jumped down from the high wall.

The time has come. Cheng Shi seemed to see what Lao Galen was thinking, but he did not respond. Instead, he jumped off the high wall and mixed into the crowd. He came to Qu Yan's side and began to perform his role, playing the role of a messenger of God...and his mouthpiece.

I never thought that one day I would become a talker.

Question Zui Ge, understand Zui Ge, and become Zui Ge!

Now, Cheng Shi, who has transformed into a mouth, is going to perform a double act with the speechless [Silent] believers in this conscription square to deceive the entire empire.

The first line of this double act made the entire square boil!

"I am the messenger of [Decay], running around the world for the Benefactor. This trip is to bring His forgiveness to the people of Rosna."

forgive!

Even if the people in the square didn't listen to anything else, they would cry out in disbelief just by hearing these two words. Some even burst into tears, as if God's forgiveness could save them from the water.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that Decay had never looked at them or blessed them. If they had to forgive Him, it should be them who "forgave" Him.

But in this era, God is everything. No matter how much suffering the people of Rossna have endured, it is because they are not pious enough. But now, their piety has finally won...the forgiveness of the benefactor.

But some people still have doubts, because only they themselves know whether they are pious enough. In the past, they were extremely pious but never received His attention. But now, when their piety has been exhausted, will His messenger really bring forgiveness?

Could this be a hoax, a ruse to purge the ungodly?

No one dared to be sure, and no one dared to look up. Everyone was still shrouded in great fear, pretending to agree and waiting for the next words of the messenger of God.
