“The second commandment: You shall not take my name in vain.”

“The third commandment: You shall have no other gods.”

“The fourth commandment: Love your father and mother, your husband, your wife, and your children as you love me.”

"The fifth commandment: You shall not rape others."

"Sixth Commandment: Thou shalt not kill the innocent."

"The seventh commandment: You shall not lie, you shall not accuse someone falsely, you shall not break your promise."

"The Eighth Commandment: Serve me with your heart, not with sacrifice."

"The Ninth Commandment: Anyone who commits a small sin must atone for it before he can be forgiven."

"The Tenth Commandment: He who helps his fellow man or companion blesses my name."

The words of the covenant echoed in the ears of the bald rebel Karat, causing him to prostrate himself completely, burying his head in the ground, and trembling slightly uncontrollably, with awe, fear, and excitement.

As a mid-sequence Beyonder, a rebel who had been educated in the Feysac Empire, he had enough experience to understand that the worship of the "Sea God" was more based on fear - fear of powerful forces, fear of natural risks that humans could not resist. Many rituals still retained primitive bloodiness, and were inhumane and uncivilized backward beliefs that would be eliminated sooner or later.

However, the faith he had developed since childhood made him dare not disobey the oracle. He could only bury the idea of ​​modifying the ritual process deep in his heart and avoid the parts that conflicted with his own ideas as much as possible.

Now, the sudden change of the "Sea God" made him extremely happy, as if he saw the primitive totem mentioned by an outsider evolving into a true god.

We are blessed, the rebels are blessed, and the true believers are blessed... Karat raised his head slightly with blurred vision, spread his hands sincerely, and put them to his mouth:

“We will keep your ways, as we will praise your name.”

The blurry figure in front of his eyes disappeared, the loud sound in his ears disappeared, and the scene in the cave returned to its original state.

But Karat knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

He moved his elbows and quickly climbed back to the wheelchair, sat on it again, and moved to the other side of the cave.

Karat soon met Edmonton. This rebel with a blue sea snake tattoo stood in front of a strange bleeding statue. His forehead was a mixture of red and black, and he looked dirty and hideous.

However, Edmonton's expression was joyful, exciting, and satisfied. He looked at Karat and asked:

"Have you received the oracle?"

"Yes, it is the breath of God, just like before." Karat nodded excitedly, "Not only has God returned to the earth, but He has also recast His covenant."

Edmonton breathed a sigh of relief and said:

“I just suspected that I was hallucinating.

"It seems that all it takes is for an outsider to touch the holy sword, and God will reappear on earth, without having to lift it up completely."

Karat echoed:

"That's right. The statue is broken and bleeding because God has changed his image. We must build a new one! Just like what we just saw!"

"God also displayed His holy emblem, a lightning-shaped scepter inserted above the wave symbol, surrounded by strong winds," Edmonton said as he recalled.

Karat immediately patted the armrest of the wheelchair:

“Let’s go find the high priest now. He should have also received the oracle.

"We are about to usher in a new world!"

…………

Above the gray fog, Klein put down the "Poseidon's Scepter" and rubbed his forehead tiredly.

He had just noticed a problem. The "Scepter of Poseidon" could respond to ritual magic, that is, it could provide a certain amount of power to help the person praying complete the ritual and achieve the goal, but this could only be concentrated in its own field and could not exceed the upper limit. What it could do was quite limited.

For example, the Goddess of Night can influence fate so that believers can naturally obtain the money they need and pay off their bills, while the "Scepter of Poseidon" can at most counterfeit the white paper on the altar into cash, and it will become invalid after a while and return to its original appearance.

"This is the difference between a false god and a true god...

"Moreover, outside the gray fog, as long as the process and the sacrificial words are followed, the 'Sea God's Scepter' can respond to ritual magic on its own, unless more than half of the power must be mobilized at once... This may be the reason why the steps of ritual magic are very important...

"Above the gray fog, prayers were blocked and turned into light spots. The 'Sea God's Scepter' could no longer respond autonomously, and I had to handle it manually. This was quite troublesome. I couldn't stay here forever. Of course, this also had its advantages. As long as the prayers were correct and pointed to the 'Sea God's Scepter' accurately, no matter how perfunctory the ritual steps were, I could get a response. There was only one prerequisite: I was in a good mood...

"When I have time, I have to think of a way to make the 'Sea God's Scepter' an automatic answering machine even above the gray fog... Make a paper angel? It's useless without injecting a soul... Make a dull mechanical puppet to handle repetitive and tedious ritual magic response problems? Hmm... I don't know if the 'Master of Secret Puppetry' has this ability. At least Rosago only showed the characteristic of manipulating people like puppets..."

Klein's thoughts gradually settled, and his eyes moved to the iron cigarette box.

After research, he found that this cigarette box with severely corroded surface did undergo some changes, becoming stronger, more durable and more corrosion-resistant, but still within the range that normal humans could understand and accept.

It doesn’t have any special properties… But if it is left here for a few years or decades, or if it contains extraordinary properties or magical items for a long time, maybe one day it can really evolve into a “sealed box” whose effect will gradually fade away… Klein’s mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at the sundries piled in the corner.

They were covered in gray fog, almost blending in with the surroundings.

Hehe... Klein laughed dryly and looked away.

He played with the crushed golden wine glass again to make sure there was nothing wrong.

After doing all this, he entered the real world, summoned himself again, and brought the "Sun Brooch" and other items back to the hotel room.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky disappeared, the moon was bright, and the crimson peace was spreading. The entire "City of Generosity" Bayam was still sleeping in his dream.

…………

Nine o'clock in the morning, Church of the Waves.

Alger was summoned and once again met the diocesan bishop, Qiao Geli, under the pretext of confession.

"Look for this person." Qiao Geli handed over the portrait in his hand.

Another mission... What's going on lately... Alger muttered to himself and unfolded the paper casually.

When he saw the content of the portrait clearly, he almost couldn't control his mouth and laughed out loud.

It was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl from the painting. What did she look like? How could I find her? In an instant, his thoughts changed. He did not try to hide his emotions and blurted out:

"Who is this?"

The portrait showed an extremely blurry mysterious person, without any features that could help in the search.

There was no such mission yesterday...but they suddenly asked for a manhunt this morning...what happened last night? Well, Kalvetuwa was completely destroyed...so the church and the military will definitely go looking for its remains...Is Simim Island the clue? This person took the most important item before them? Who is this person? Alger's heart was shaken, and he almost didn't dare to look at Qiao Geli.

Qiao Geli nodded:

"A dirty, despicable thief! He might be from Intis or Feysac, and might belong to the Church of the Sun or the Church of the God of War."

Someone from Intis or Feysac, someone from the Church of the Sun or the Church of the God of War? Why would there be such a guess and judgment? Sir Yan Cotman could only obtain very little information at the scene and could not clearly identify the target? In this case, it is indeed possible to preliminarily judge that this person is from Intis or Feysac, because these two countries are the main ones supporting the rebels and Kalvetuva. Haha, there is reason to believe that they may have already grasped Kalvetuva's hiding place... It is consistent with my previous guess... Of course, it may also be something else... Alger restrained his emotions and asked:

"What did he do?"

“You don’t need to know. Just pay attention to any abnormalities in Intis or Feysac in Bayam. Well, including the locals who have become Beyonders. Also, find the person who posted the notice on the main entrance of the church. They may know something. I will give you further information soon.” Chogori instructed in a deep voice.

This is indeed a direction... Doesn't this mean that this person is related to the notice and the fall of Kalvetuva... I wonder who got the Beyonder characteristics left by Kalvetuva... Who... By the way, the "world" is in Bayam, and Kalvetuva had just had an accident not long after he came here! Is this Mr. Fool's purpose? Will this help Him to open more seals and restore His strength? Alger's pupils suddenly shrank, and he remembered his speculation some time ago.

…………

After waking up, Klein, who had gained a lot last night, was full of energy and in a very good mood.

He decided to treat himself well today, and make sure that breakfast, lunch and dinner were all hearty and delicious.

Pushing the door open and entering the living room, he saw Danitz had already gotten out of bed and was removing the bandages and splint from his arm.

Getting better so quickly? Klein was slightly stunned.

Seeing Gehrman Sparrow looking over, Danitz laughed and said:

"My recovery ability is pretty good. My Sequence 9 is called 'Hunter'. All aspects of my physical qualities have been significantly enhanced, surpassing those of normal humans. The parts related to combat have improved even more, and I am now a Sequence 7."

Sequence 9 "Hunter"? I've killed one, and I also know that the corresponding Sequence 6 is called "Conspirator"... Klein suddenly recalled the first enemy he encountered when he first arrived in Backlund. That made him fall into a huge whirlpool, and he almost couldn't extricate himself.

“Sequence 8, ‘Provocateur’?” Klein asked casually.

He had long guessed Danitz's extraordinary path from his proficiency in using fire. That was the "Red Priest" path that Roselle called the "Iron-Blooded True Man" path. Sequence 7 was called "Arsonist", which was called "Fire Mage" in ancient times.

Danitz was stunned for a second, thinking that Gehrman Sparrow was doubting him, and unconsciously raised his voice:

"Do you think I'm not good at provocation?

"No, I'm an expert in this!"

PS: I recommend a book, "Marvel's Infinite Personalities", a new account by an old author. His writing skills are getting better and better as he writes one book after another.
