Chapter 184: The Explanation of the White Church
Everything seems to have returned to the starting point.
When Xia Di knew that Dora was going to become the King of Men, he actually had some unrealistic fantasies for a moment.
This means that Dora will be against the Demon King again. Even if the relationship between him and the Demon King has become very complicated, but now, Dora has probably made a choice based on his own will and decided to become the enemy of the Demon King - what is the difference from the past?
No, in fact, this meaning is even greater than the past!
In the past, the brave man set out from an ordinary small village and was chosen by the sword of the brave. Under the guidance of the will of the goddess, he met the little priest at that time. They guided each other and walked together on the road to defeating the Demon King.
And now, without the need for anyone to guide him or influence him, Dora, relying on his own will, also chooses to embark on the road to defeating the Demon King.
The fate is so similar, but the meaning is so different.
The brave who once went astray did not disappoint people in the end. With his own will, he walked back to the right path. Now, Xia Di can be sure that Duo Luo will not become the next Demon King, even if he has the same life nature as the Demon King, even if he is difficult to describe with human words, but his essence is different from the Demon King.
She knows this better than anyone else.
So... everything else is no longer important.
"I repeat, former Saint Xia Di, you can defend yourself. The church will consider your opinion." Bai Luther asked Xia Di again on behalf of the Senate of the White Church.
Xia Di just smiled: "I have nothing to defend myself. It was indeed my fault at the beginning. I did not fully believe in the brave man and the Human King, so that we almost lost him. Now, he has made the right choice with his own will, which is also the proof of my mistake. I am not shameless enough to say that I am not wrong in such a place."
Bai Luther then understood Xia Di's will.
"Then, Xia Di, I will make a ruling on you on behalf of the Senate. Deprive you of all your status, deprive you of all your faith, you will be removed from the White Church, and you will lose the glory of the goddess. Then, as a sinner, you will be escorted to the Human King and await his decision."
At the moment when Duo Luo decided to become the Human King and made the announcement, some things had quietly changed.
Just as Mo He thought, the White Church had no choice. Between the Human King and the Demon King, the White Church could only choose to stand on the side of the Human King. Therefore, they had to give Duo Luo an explanation, and give the contemporary Human King an explanation. The explanation given by the wise king was his own life, the loyalty of the rebels led by Duke Reggus, and the foundation that could help the Human King govern the world.
So what about the White Church? The handling of the culprit of the grand betrayal in the past was an inevitable option.
For the priests of the White Church, the punishment Shadi is receiving at this moment is the most severe punishment. Not to mention that Shadi is now moving towards a higher realm and is the strongest person in the White Church... Once a priest is expelled from the church and fundamentally cut off from faith, the divine power will disappear from the priest. When Shadi, who has a sacred nature, is punished, she will become an ordinary girl and cannot even break free from a pair of shackles.
She will become extremely fragile.
And this is what counts as a punishment.
And this is what counts as an explanation to the Human King - but the White Church cannot deal with Shadi privately. They deprive Shadi of her identity and power to show the Human King that the White Church will always stand on the side of the Human King, so Shadi must be sent to the Human King for processing. At that time, the Human King can kill or cut her, and that is the Human King's freedom.
However, this level of statement is still not enough. In such a dramatic change, the White Church is fiercely discussing what power to give to the Human King so that the Human King and the White Church can be highly bound.
Some people said it was the Saint's right to nominate, some people said that the Pope must be canonized by the King of Man before he can become the real Pope, and some people said whether the Church should send people to listen to the King of Man's will at any time... And these discussions have nothing to do with Xia Di, who has been expelled.
The one guarding Xia Di is Adeline.
Adeline came voluntarily. She said she was afraid that Xia Di would be wronged. After all, falling from a high position, it is inevitable that some people will have some ugly thoughts.
"You are not from the church after all. Does the church have any objection to this?"
"Although the old guys in the Senate are fighting for power, they are loyal to God. They also know what you have done and probably don't think you are wrong. So they also want me to take care of you. Besides, I am the source of miracles. If you lose your power, there may not be anyone in this church who can stop me."
Xia Di looked at Adeline. She did not look downcast as if she had lost her power: "After that, you will send me to Dora to be judged by the King of Man - can you meet him?"
"No matter what, you need to face it, and I need to face it too. The impostor has left, and he doesn't seem to intend to change his will."
"It seems that our work cannot be said to have failed. Their personalities are almost the same, and their ideas are not much different. It's just that their talents and gifts are different." Xia Di sighed, "We have given him the best talent we can imagine, the best abilities we can know... but our abilities themselves are limited. What we can imagine and outline does not support him to move into that field."
This is reality.
They themselves were not in the realm of Dora and the Demon King, so they could not even imagine what that realm was supposed to be like. Therefore, even if the imposter tried his best, he could not defeat the real Dora, even if he fought to the very end.
"Shadi, you haven't given up yet?"
Adeline suddenly asked this.
Xia Di looked at her in confusion: "You said you haven't given up yet, what do you mean?"
"Although it's strange to say this, I always feel that you gave up this power voluntarily. The so-called divine power."
"Of course I gave it up voluntarily. If I don't want to give up, who can make me step down from the position of the saint? If I disagree, according to the system of the church, I can veto it. What's more, I can communicate with the goddess directly. If I don't want to lose my status, then I can let the goddess descend."
She said such things as a matter of course: "So I must have given up voluntarily, in order to give an explanation to Duo Luo."
"That's not what I mean by giving up voluntarily, Xia Di."
Adeline listened to Xia Di's body: "I think you retreated in order to go further. You still haven't given up the idea of becoming a creature of the same level as them."
"Why? Why do you think so?"
"Because you asked me to do human alchemy, and you are also studying it yourself, right?"
...
"Your Majesty, the White Church has executed the former Saint Xia Di. They have deleted her name from the church. She is no longer a member of the White Church. She will be escorted by the Source of Miracles and sent to you for your judgment. How do you want to deal with her?" After
hearing this, Duo Luo said, "I'll tell you after I see Xia Di."
He did not give too many instructions.
He was carefully savoring the feeling of being the Human King.
Just as Mo He said, he actually had the power of willfulness more than ten years ago, but at that time, everyone was in awe of the Demon King and feared the Demon King, but not in awe of himself. They were afraid that he would become the Demon King, so they took action against himself - he could have done it like this.
He is doing this now.
Did Mo He feel this way at the beginning? Even if you don't think about something, someone will naturally help you think about it. If you just change your expression, someone will think about a lot of things and then take the initiative to do something... So, like the existence of the Human King, any behavior will be infinitely magnified, and any action will bring about huge changes...
In such a position, any behavior will pry the world into change - if it were the past self, I would probably be afraid of this weight.
No, not if.
It was the past self who was afraid of this weight, so he chose to escape. He knew that his power was strong, he knew that he had the power to change the world, but he didn't know if change was a good thing, he was not confident that he could make the world a better place, so it would be better to let the wise king and the like dominate the world.
But Mo He told him.
This idea itself is ridiculous.
As a strong man, he doesn't need to worry about the ideas of the weak. He wants peace, so the weak need to maintain peace. He wants to see everyone respectful and friendly, so everyone should be respectful and friendly. He doesn't need to consider whether things will get better. He just needs to follow his willful thoughts... This conflicts with what he knew in the past.
For example, when he was a hero, Xia Di told him that the higher the position, the more he had to hide his thoughts. Unintentional words and actions could bring disaster to the weak.
In the past, Duo Luo agreed with this statement, but it was completely opposite to Mohe's attitude of survival. The oldest demon king indulged her emotions wantonly. She would even come up with something almost contradictory like Star Tears to express her emotions.
She also never concealed her love for maid costumes.
So, what is responsibility?
He doesn't need to take any responsibility.
He just loves others, he just wants everyone to live a happy life - this is his simplest and plainest wish. Just like Mohe likes maid costumes, there is no essential difference.
There is no need to feel heavy about it.
