Gentlemen! Mortals deceived by the so-called great gods! Please open your all-seeing eyes and see the nature of the entire universe! Use your smart brains to think carefully! If these so-called gods are really as omnipotent as they claim, then why do gods they still need the faith and worship of mortals? They will die for various reasons and even fight with each other like children? All the gods nowadays are just a group of liars and imposters! Maybe there is indeed one or more real behind all this, but they must be beyond everything, not even for mortals to understand, let alone be easily observed.
These false gods are merely channels connecting to the true higher gods, which is why they can grant priests and priests the power of divine magic.
Their identity is just a group of mortals like you and me, but they have mastered some secrets, knowledge and abilities that we don't know.
Anyone can do this as long as they have the knowledge and ability to master these secrets.
And it's not just these guys who claim to be gods, but all the outer planes including Hell, Abyss, and Mechanical Realm are lies.
Wake up! My brothers dear and sisters! Let us embrace the cruelest truth of the universe and explore the secrets hidden behind it.
Once you become one of us, you will gain the power to fight against the gods..."
Accompanied by an impassioned voice, a hybrid who looked like a demon and an angel was standing in the downtown area of Athkatla, raising his hands high and giving a speech to the passing crowd.
From the content, we can tell that she is 100% a senior member of the "Society of Gods and Non-Gods", and even her existence will be regarded as a blasphemy by both good and evil.
This woman of unknown age has an angelic face and a succubus-like sexy figure. Half of her wings are pure white feathers and the other half are devilish bat wings.
The skin on the front is milky white, while the back is covered with black spikes and shells like a seductress.
One of the two feet has normal toes, while the other looks like a sheep's hoof.
It is estimated that only a place like Sigil, which is extremely "inclusive" and where all kinds of weird ideas converge, can give birth to such hybrids.
There is no doubt that in the continent of Faerun where belief in gods is the mainstream ideology, the idea that gods are not gods is undoubtedly quite unorthodox, and it would not be an exaggeration to even directly destroy them physically on the spot.
Fortunately, Askatla, the capital of the West Coast Empire, is one of the few cities that has practiced religious freedom for a long time.
As long as it does not cause any substantial threat or damage to society, generally no one will care what you are promoting.
This is why the Blind Eye was able to successfully establish a church here, encouraging more ignorant civilians to dig out their eyes to believe in him.
Not to mention the Eye Demon, even the devil can conduct business and hold various activities in a semi-public manner.
So even though the statement of the Gods Not Gods Association is simply a slap in the face of all the gods, the major temples really don't have any good way to deal with it.
After all, they did not claim to be gods, nor did they ask mortals to believe in themselves or some evil monster or abstract concept. Naturally, they cannot be considered a cult. They are merely expressing a philosophical point of view.
Many scholars and young people who came into contact with the organization for the first time showed great interest, and occasionally some even came to debate with it.
But unfortunately, although Toril is considered an important prime material plane in the entire universe, it is still far behind the psychopaths in Sigil in terms of knowledge and debating skills.
Even the chief high priest of Oghma, the god of knowledge, was rendered speechless by the rebuttal of this half-demon, half-angel.
What's more, facts speak louder than words.
The members of the Gods' Non-Gods' Association can really fight against divine power to a certain extent, and can also completely invalidate many divine arts.
After seeing this scene, ordinary people were quickly attracted by their unique worldview and values, and even took the initiative to join and become a member of the organization.
But ever since the churches of the gods began to unite and use other means to fight back, the Gods and Non-Gods Association no longer has the glory it had at the beginning.
The reason is simple.
Anyone who joins or intends to join this organization will be followed and watched 24 hours a day by members of the Church of Heim, the God of Guardian, and Bane, the God of Tyranny.
No matter where you go, you will see pairs of eyes staring at you, either serious and vigilant or cold and evil.
It would be strange if this mentality didn't explode.
Among them, the Church of Helm sent out the Vigilant Knights who were famous for their harsh and ruthless law enforcement, while the Church of Bane sent out the Dark Guards who were famous for suppressing various riots with brutal means.
Just look at the empty scene around the podium at this moment to understand the attitude of the people of Askatla towards this foreign religious organization.
Few idiots would give up their comfortable and secure lives for a more novel idea.
Even if some ignorant people wanted to go over and listen, they would soon be discouraged by the ferocious-looking guard knights and dark guards.
After all, the City of Gold Coins is the most secular and materialistic place in the entire continent of Faerun.
Wealth is what the locals desire most in their hearts.
Instead of risking being scolded to listen to such a heretical speech, you might as well work two more jobs to earn money to improve your life.
Of course, compared with the Society of Gods and Non-Gods, the situation of the Cult of Doomguard a few streets away is much better.
Because they are not destructive by nature, nor do they advocate being enemies of gods, countries, and government agencies. They simply like to gain pleasure and satisfaction from the decay of all things.
Therefore, it was not targeted too seriously, and people could be seen coming in and out of the temporary headquarters sporadically.
But because its philosophical views have a clear tendency towards chaotic evil, there are also paladins of the Order of the Burning Heart and a team of guards stationed there.
In short, the officials in charge of managing Athkatla were quite wary of these outsiders and had no idea what they were trying to do.
However, what they don't know is that this kind of inexplicable behavior, like a psychopath, is precisely the characteristic of the major factions in Sigil City.
In a special place like Sigil, which has portals to all planes of the universe, if you want to become powerful, you must abandon rationality and logic and let yourself fall into a state of hysterical madness.
Looking at the leaders and main figures of the major factions in Sigil City, none of them can be called "normal".
They are either completely paranoid or psychopaths who are often inconsistent in their actions.
But there is only one thing that is certain, that is, they all firmly believe in the philosophical views of their own faction.
Looking at the non-Gods' Council members who were speaking out on the podium, the senior Holy Knight Kaidong, who was in charge of leading the team to maintain law and order and prevent bloody conflicts today, couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Alas—I have really grown old. I feel like I can't keep up with the rapid development and changes in Athkatra.
Whether it was the expanded urban area, the streets lined with high-rise buildings, or the water-driven forges and looms on both sides of the river, it seemed as if more than ten years or even decades had passed in an instant.
Especially the sects in front of us from Sigil City, each one is more troublesome than the other.
I don't know how long this bloodless confrontation can last. Perhaps a fierce conflict will break out tomorrow.
I hope the city hall and the courts can evict them as quickly as possible if they can.
Otherwise, fighting is only a matter of time.”
"Sir, why haven't the city hall and the court signed a decree to expel them? Especially the God-Not-God Society, which is obviously involved in blasphemy."
A young apprentice paladin asked nearby with a puzzled look on his face.
Kaidong explained with a wry smile: "Because according to the current legal system of the empire, these sects have not violated any laws.
What you consider blasphemy is actually just a denial of the holiness of the gods, not a denial of their existence.
Therefore, there is no way to expel them if we follow the normal procedures.
The only thing we can expect now is direct intervention from His Majesty the Emperor.
Only he and only he can be above all rules and laws.
Okay, stop talking nonsense and pay more attention to what's going on around you.
Don't let crowds gather, otherwise once they are incited, the consequences will be very, very serious."
"Don't worry, there are alert knights and dark guards hanging around nearby, so no one would dare to get close."
Another equally young female apprentice paladin complained in a low voice.
As the oldest unofficial law enforcement agency in the entire Amn region, the Knights of the Burning Heart are quite dissatisfied with the division of their power after the establishment of the Empire.
After all, they used to have a series of functions such as investigation, evidence collection, law enforcement and trial.
As long as it does not involve nobles and wealthy businessmen, each paladin is equivalent to a mobile court that can handle various disputes and cases of all sizes at any time.
Most importantly, the Knights of the Burning Heart believe that they have brought fairness, justice, kindness and order to this land. Only they can enforce the law impartially without being influenced by corruption and money-for-power transactions and protect the rights and interests of vulnerable groups.
But now, their power has been divided among the Dark Guard of the Church of Bane and some other lawful church organizations.
Only when the court issues a commission order can the paladins go to the designated place to resolve disputes.
Moreover, sentencing must be carried out strictly in accordance with the relevant legal provisions, and there is no power to pardon on one's own.
For this reason, many paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart have complaints.
As an old senior, Kaidong had obviously experienced Zuo Si's methods when he went to Luskan to take up the post. In addition, as he was getting older and no longer had the sharpness he had before, he did not say much about this youthful and impetuous idea, but just smiled and shook his head.
Just as he was about to pay out of his own pocket to buy a few cups of hot cocoa from a stall not far away to reward these young people who were willing to show up for a just cause, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out from the temporary headquarters of the Gods and Non-Gods Society.
Because the speed was so fast, passers-by around only felt a gust of wind passing by.
But about two or three seconds later, another seven or eight guys whose race and ancestry were difficult to identify followed out from inside.
The leading Cambion demon yelled at the top of his lungs, "Chase him! Don't let Dox get away! He just eavesdropped on our conversation!"
"Don't worry! I've locked onto this guy! He can't get away!"
A wind elemental mage instantly completed a prophecy magic, and then the figure in front began to radiate a faint red light.
"There he is!"
A strange humanoid creature with a lion's head keenly caught the flash of light in the crowd, and without saying a word, he started running wildly.
His feet have the same structure as a large cat, so his instantaneous explosive power far exceeds that of a horse, and his speed is so fast that afterimages appear.
A pedestrian was unable to dodge and was knocked flying on the spot. He hit the wall of a building and vomited blood.
It was not difficult to tell from the painful look on his face that he must have broken several bones and his internal organs might have started bleeding profusely.
In the following few seconds of chasing, the lion's head hit and injured about ten passers-by one after another, causing widespread panic and chaos.
What's even more terrible is that the guys hiding in front are obviously using pedestrians as cover and keep moving towards crowded places.
"Damn it! Anomen! Take a few brothers with you to rescue the wounded! The rest of you, follow me to punish these lawless outsiders!"
Seeing this, Kaidong didn't even bother to buy drinks. He immediately drew his family sword and gave orders to the trainee members of the Knights Templar around him.
As a holy knight, he would never allow these outsiders to trample on law and order so recklessly and hurt so many innocent pedestrians.
"No! I want to go with you! Let others do the task of treating the wounded."
The young man called Anomen's face was full of excitement and excitement.
Because ever since he was allowed to go out on official duties as an apprentice knight, he has basically been doing odd jobs, patrolling and other jobs that do not pose any difficulty or challenge.
This time, we finally have the opportunity to use force, so how could we let it go easily?
But Anomen's attitude obviously made Kaidong very dissatisfied, and he immediately glared at the young relative.
However, he had no time to preach now, so he could only assign the responsibility of treating the wounded to another female paladin in the team, and then he quickly ran to chase the members of the God-Not-God Organization.
Joining the pursuit together with the Knights of the Burning Heart were the Vigilant Knights of the Church of Helm, the Dark Guards of the Church of Bane, and the guards stationed in the city to maintain law and order.
For a moment, the originally bustling and lively streets were actually the scene of a series of chases.
Among them, the gods from Sigil who are not members of the Gods' Council needless to say, are basically all masters with a large number of spell-like abilities. Ordinary soldiers and even dark guards and paladins cannot stop them.
These people were not interested in wasting time with a group of "Material Plane Guys" and just kept chasing after the figure hiding in front of them.
The two sides chased each other from the spaceport in the new city area to the Xinqiao area expanded along the river, and finally stopped near the river mouth.
At this moment, the figure finally took off his hood, revealing a slightly gray and pale human face.
"Dox! Why did you betray the organization!"
The leading member of the Non-God Society asked sternly.
"Betrayal?" The human wizard called Dox pursed his lips and smiled contemptuously. "You don't even know who I am, right?"
"What do you mean? Are you a spy planted by another faction?"
The strange humanoid creature with a lion's head narrowed its eyes and moved seven or eight meters to the right, blocking the target's only escape route from behind.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The human wizard who had maintained his proud attitude in the previous second, started laughing like a madman in the next second, mocking as he laughed: "Spy? No, no, no, I don't do such low-level things.
In fact, I'm a member of the fifteen most important factions in Sigil, and the Gods Are Not Gods is just one of them.
In addition, I am also a member of the Source Believers, the Nothingness Society, the Doomsday Guardians, the Ten Thousand Deaths Society, the Destiny Society, the Brotherhood of Order, the Freedom Union, the Harmony Society, the Mercy Extinction Society, the Revolutionary Alliance, the Personal Marking Society, the Feeling Society, the Transcendent Society, the Chaos Society, etc...."
"This is impossible! No one can pass the test of all factions! Especially when two philosophical viewpoints conflict with each other, you can only choose one." The lion head frowned and retorted harshly.
Just as he described, joining a faction in Sigil is not about joining if you want to, but about proving that you agree with the faction's views from the bottom of your heart.
The most typical external manifestation is that if you believe in the philosophy of a faction, you will gain additional spell-like abilities provided by the corresponding faction.
For example, if you join the Brotherhood of Order, you will definitely not be able to join the Brotherhood of Chaos.
Because order and chaos are in essential and irreconcilable conflict.
This means that it is simply impossible to win the trust of a faction's top leaders by lying and deceiving.
The mere faction's ability to identify spells can go a long way toward preventing spies from other hostile factions.
Doakes, who was laughing wildly just now, suddenly became extremely indifferent and responded without any emotion: "It may be true for you fools who can only accept one world view, value and philosophy.
But this is not the case for me, or for geniuses like us.
I can entertain a dozen or even dozens of new and conflicting viewpoints at any time if I choose.
After all, the reason why most people cannot accept two opposing logics is that their thinking and consciousness are not broad enough, and they always like to limit themselves to a narrow and absolute line.
But I am different. I have classified my subjective consciousness into fifteen personalities, and each personality accepts the ideas of a faction in Sigil.
In this way, I can pass the tests of all factions and successfully join them.
I am both the individual of my own biological being and the collective of our personalities.
Since one of my personalities truly agrees with the purpose of the Gods and Gods Society, there is naturally no question of betrayal."
After hearing these words, everyone present was stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Because just passing the assessments of fifteen factions in Sigil City at the same time and joining them is outrageous enough in itself.
Not to mention that the method of achieving this is to directly split into fifteen personalities, each of which accepts the philosophical views of a faction.
No wonder Doakes's expression and attitude had changed 180 degrees several times in the short conversation just a few minutes ago.
After a full minute, the leading member of the Godly Non-God Society finally came to his senses and asked in confusion, "Why did you do this? Or what is your purpose? Do you want to climb to the leadership position in all fifteen major factions at the same time, and then secretly control the operation of the entire Sigil City?"
"No, only a fool would try to take over all of Sigil.
That would inevitably attract the attention of Ms. Pain, and would be no different than suicide.
I just want to have a more comfortable and pleasant life in this way.
When one day I master their secrets, I will bring them back to you as well.
This was never a betrayal, but rather me following the loyalty of each of my personalities to the faction.
And you thought you had me? No! You had only had Doakes as an identity!
Next time I can change my identity and personality and join the Gods and Non-Gods Society again."
When he said this, Doakes' tone was full of seriousness and earnestness, without any hint of ridicule or joking.
It's easy to tell from this guy's mental state how crazy and abstract Sigil is.
Even the members of the Gods and Non-Gods Society felt that the logic of the wizard in front of them was quite outrageous.
Just when the Lion Head was about to ask something, a portal suddenly opened out of nowhere, and Zuo Si's figure instantly appeared next to the guardrail near the river bank not far away.
He had obviously noticed the sudden situation here from the beginning. He looked up and down with a slightly curious look at the ruthless man who dared to join fifteen important factions in Sigil City at once. After a long while, he asked with interest: "You split your personality into fifteen parts, and accepted so many extreme and contradictory ideas at the same time. How did you prevent them from fighting?"
"It involves a unique understanding of the self. Sorry, this is private and I can't tell you."
Doakes had obviously changed into another personality at this moment. He was not only very polite but also very elegant.
Because he had been with Isadora for such a long time, Zuo Si was quite experienced in dealing with such mentally abnormal people. He just nodded slightly: "Okay. Since it is your privacy, I won't ask any more questions.
However, your rampage through the streets of Athkatla caused at least ten serious injuries and thirty minor injuries.
At the same time, there was an economic loss of more than 60,000 gold coins.
Is it time to settle this account now?"
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si instantly activated the professional ability of the Rainbow Apprentice and created a magic wall filled with orange out of thin air, blocking all these guys in the alley on the spot.
This iridescent wall can cause massive acid damage to anyone who tries to pass through it, and can also block all ranged magical attacks and missiles and rays created by spells.
As for teleportation, it was completely banned from the moment Zuo Si appeared.
"Are you from the Masked Mages Guild?"
The expression of the member of the Godly Non-God Society who was leading the group changed slightly.
When they entered Athkatla and established their headquarters, they conducted a survey of the power of the entire city and learned that there were three forces in the City of Gold that required special caution.
Among them, the churches and temples of the many gods are naturally one of them, another is the official guards, army and knights from the government, and the last one is the arcane spellcasting management organization that hangs over the entire Amn region - the Masked Wizard.
After a series of transformations and personnel placements by Zuo Si, although the current masked mages are still not as good as first-class spellcasting organizations such as Sel and Halrua, their overall strength is no less than that of the mage corps of Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City.
There are as many as six core liches of the Arcane Order who have crossed the legendary threshold.
In addition, several disciples and juniors of the great arcanist Ovo also joined in, mainly responsible for the education and management of the magic academy.
Therefore, the Gods and Non-Gods will still be wary of the Masked Mage Guild.
Zuo Si responded meaningfully: "Strictly speaking, I am indeed a member of the Masked Mage Guild.
But that's not the point.
The point is, are you ready to surrender and accept legal sanctions?
Or do you plan to resist and let me kill you one by one? Remember, your choice determines whether the Gods and Non-Gods can continue to exist in this city. "
moment!
All the gods and non-god members present realized that something was wrong, and at the same time they had a strong sense of crisis.
The Lion Head and the Cambion Demon looked at each other, and soon understood each other's thoughts. They immediately launched attacks from the left and right with lightning speed.
In order to attract attention, the former jumped high, stepped on the wall of a four-story building, turned around, and swung the huge scimitar in his hand to chop it down fiercely.
The Cambion Demon used a two-handed greatsword and very insidiously chose to attack the lower three directions.
One comes from high above the head, and the other comes from the blind spot of the back. It is obvious that they have a good understanding of each other and have cooperated countless times.
Normally, if you pay attention to the Lion's Head, you will inevitably ignore the Cambion Demon, and vice versa.
After seeing their companions choose to take action, several other members of the Gods and Non-Gods Society also joined in without any prior arrangement.
The Wind Elemental mage even directly used an incredibly powerful innate ability, creating a strong tornado out of thin air to block Zuo Si's vision in order to create a better opportunity for his companions to attack.
"Are you really choosing to fight to the bitter end? It seems I shouldn't have any expectations from you guys who are seriously lacking in rationality."
Zuo Si sighed helplessly and put his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist.
The next second...
The two swords were unsheathed in an instant, drawing graceful arcs in the air.
One of the large scimitars was pressed against the lion's head and pushed it away, then it chopped off his neck as if it were no one's there.
The huge head flew out immediately due to the impact of the body's blood pressure, and the corpse fell to the ground due to inertia and staggered a distance before falling to the ground.
Almost at the same time, Zuo Si's body seemed to be dancing, with graceful and light steps under his feet, allowing the two-handed giant sword of the Cambion demon to pierce his abdomen closely, and then he turned around and used another sword to stab into the opponent's chest.
Puff! The extremely sharp sword blade pierced through his chest on the spot, and then it thrust upwards to tear a horrible gash from the heart to the neck.
Normally, an ordinary person would have died from such injuries long ago.
But Cambion is a hybrid of the first generation of demons, devils, yugoloths and humanoids, and therefore possesses extremely tenacious vitality.
Not only did he not die immediately, but he also endured the severe pain and tried to chop horizontally to cut his opponent in half.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si had obviously anticipated this, and he used one of his swords to block the sharp blade of the two-handed giant sword, while putting the other sword back into the sheath, raised his free finger to aim at the opponent's hideous and terrifying face, and used the super magic skill - spell to instantly fire out a deadly beam of light.
After being hit, the entire body of the Cambion Demon instantly began to disintegrate, eventually turning into a pool of green powder without any signs of life.
Sixth-ring magic [Disintegration]! As a spell that can cause a lot of damage and destroy corpses, it is undoubtedly too good.
Zuo Si himself likes to memorize an instant dissociation spell to give the opponent a little surprise during close combat.
After dealing with the two most powerful leaders, the remaining gods and non-gods' members naturally posed no threat and were quickly eliminated by him easily.
After doing all this, Zuo Si quickly turned his gaze to the elf who had not moved from beginning to end, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you escape during the chaos just now?"
"Because I don't want to die. If I had chosen to run away just now, I would have become a corpse like them now." Doakes answered very honestly.
Zuo Si nodded approvingly. "Smart! It seems that you are able to pass the tests of the fifteen factions in Sigil City not just by luck, but also by having very sharp insight and judgment."
"What are you going to do with me?" Doakes asked cautiously.
Although he has not been able to confirm the identity of the young man in front of him so far, his long experience in Sigil City and his keen sixth sense have begun to sound the alarm.
“It’s very simple.
I just need a spy who knows Sigil well enough and can help collect intelligence on various factions.
Since you have such a unique advantage, why not work for me?
Of course, this is not to ask for your opinion, but to inform you."
After saying that, Zuo Si put away his weapon and suddenly took a step forward without warning. He grabbed the opponent's neck with the hand wearing the gloved hand, and before Dox could activate his spell-like ability, he slammed his head hard into the ground.
Bang! With the help of excellent physical "anesthesia", the man with fifteen personalities fainted on the spot, half dead.
To be precise, the huge impact force even shattered the entire skull, and a small amount of brain matter flowed out from the crack.
It is estimated that the degree of brain damage is quite serious. Not to mention fifteen personalities, even one hundred or one thousand personalities are useless now.
Zuo Si unceremoniously activated the power of sparks and turned this talent he had captured by chance into a summoning creature card.
[Creature Card: Elf - Shadow Elf Spy]
[LV5 multi-color card (upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Precious]
[Effect: Summon an extraordinary shadow elf spy from the main material world of Mystara to serve you.
His original name was Farrow, and he was a thief of not very high rank.
Later, due to long-term espionage activities, he gradually created the remaining fourteen completely different personalities.
Among them, the identity in the Sensation Society is a female tiefling wizard named Aza Dolin;
In the Harmony, he is a male paladin named Josbert Bram.
In the Doomguard Cult, his identity is a male human warrior named Triz Danrod; in the Order, his identity is a low-level secretary named Melon Mo...
Faro's greatest attribute is his ability to create infinite personalities that are undetectable to those around him, allowing him to blend in perfectly with any environment and infiltrate the other party's organization.
Even if thoughts and memories are read, it is absolutely impossible to be exposed.
And the career level and strength of each personality are independent.
When a personality takes control of a body, the occupational level and abilities possessed by that personality will immediately become apparent.
In addition, he also has a disguised transformation ring that can change his race and gender at will.
[To use this card, you need to pay two mana points of each of the five colors, or ten universal mana points]
[When the summoned Faro is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard and waits for rebirth for five days]
Looking at the summoned creature card in his hand that had just been made, even though Zuo Si had seen many big scenes, he was still surprised.
Because according to the memory in his mind, this spy named Farrow should be the trump card of Shemisaka, the biggest intelligence dealer in Sigil.
It is precisely because of the shadow elf's terrifying split personality ability that she can grasp the movements of the fifteen major factions in the entire Sigil City and sell the intelligence of the hostile factions at a high price.
"So Dox is Farrow's identity as someone lurking in the Gods and Non-Gods Society... I really hit the jackpot this time."
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth rose uncontrollably, and his face showed an expression that only a person who had won the first prize in the lottery would have.
If Isadora's split personality stems from fear and her powerful ability as a psychic, then Farrow's infinite split personality to disguise himself is equivalent to the adaptive ability that is forced to evolve in a cruel living environment.
Although the latter is not worth mentioning in terms of combat power, the professional level of most personalities is only below LV10, and the highest will not exceed LV15.
But when it comes to infiltrating the enemy and stealing intelligence, he is an absolute master.
Just when Zuo Si was wondering whether he should consume some of his reserve energy to upgrade this card to the top level, Kaidong finally arrived with the young men of the Knights of the Burning Heart and a large number of guards.
When he saw the bodies scattered all over the ground and Zuo Si standing there motionless, he quickly realized what had happened and asked, "Your Majesty, were these people executed on the spot by you?"
"yes."
These guys from the Gods and Non-Gods Association not only resisted arrest, but also intended to attack me.
They are unforgivable from any perspective.
Now, as the Emperor of the Empire, I declare that from now on all activities of the Society of Gods and Non-Gods within the Empire will be banned.
Please take your men and wipe out the organization's headquarters in Amn now.
Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
Zuo Si had no intention of holding back at all and directly sentenced the God-Non-God Association to death.
After all, simply denying the idea of God itself would never work in the land of Faerun.
Not to mention the large number of priests who rely on gods for their livelihood, even the druids who can gain power through nature worship mostly rely on the magic of the gods of nature.
What's more, based on the performance of these guys today, it can be basically judged that they are a group of psychopaths and it is impossible for them to obey management and discipline.
Since this is the case, it must naturally be nipped in the bud and must never be allowed to develop freely.
"What about the believers? I remember that many young people were bewitched by this sect and began to hold secret meetings in private." Kaidong probed cautiously.
Zuo Si answered directly: "Catch him and give him a lecture first.
If they still refuse to repent, let the masked wizard send someone to erase their memories of this matter.
The views and ideas of the Gods and Non-Gods Association must never be spread within the empire.
It is too dangerous, too uncontrollable and destructive.
What's more, this is also the result that the gods most want to see.
If the Knights of the Burning Heart are unable to carry out such an order, I can ask the Dark Guards of the Church of Bane to do it."
Hearing the word "Dark Guard", Kaidong's face suddenly turned ugly, and he immediately promised: "No, we can do it. Let the Knights handle this matter. I promise that I will make this sect disappear completely."
Needless to say, the reason why this old paladin gritted his teeth and accepted a mission that was inconsistent with his own morals and values was because he was afraid that the dark guards would come and take action without any discrimination.
If that happens, quite a lot of people will be implicated.
After all, the essence of the Dark Guard is a sharp blade in the hands of tyrants to suppress those who disagree with them.
They don't care whether the people arrested are innocent or not. All they want to do is to impose heavy sentences on those involved in the case in the most swift and decisive manner to ensure that the result has a strong enough deterrent effect.
"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you, sir."
After saying that, Zuo Si gave Kaidong an encouraging look, then activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
As soon as he left, the on-duty personnel from the Masked Mage Guild arrived.
These guys were not here to help with the case, but to pack up all the strange races from Sigil City on the ground, take them back to clone them, and then do all kinds of magical research.
After they left, the goblins who were in charge of cleaning up the scene and clearing the garbage began to deal with the bloodstains.
As for Kaidong, he led his men to the temporary headquarters of the Gods and Non-Gods Society and issued an ultimatum to the remaining personnel.
As expected, the battle broke out after about ten minutes.
Although these mentally ill lunatics had no fear of death, they were unsurprisingly annihilated when all the elite troops from all the major temples in Athkatla were mobilized, and even the magic ship was confiscated.
Especially the churches of several evil gods, they were intent on massacre and had no intention of leaving anyone alive from the beginning to the end.
The followers of Bane, the god of tyranny, and Talos, the god of storms, were like a scourge, and many corpses were charred and mutilated.
Even the souls of the dead did not escape the disaster. They were imprisoned in gems or crystal prisms and taken back for horrific sacrifices.
After all, the biggest difference between evil gods and good gods is that they can devour souls to strengthen themselves.
Bane, in particular, had devoured the souls of his believers in large numbers more than once during the Years of Troubles.
Therefore, this kind of sacrifice has always been a traditional program for him.
