Chapter 170 The Divine Punishment of the "Lord of Evil Desire"
The land forsaken by the gods, the Sen'er Federation.
The federal lawmakers summarized three characteristics of the deity who had just answered their prayers: 1. The authority in his name seemed to be superior to that of the true God. 2. He was not a "demon king." 3. He had a bad temper.
In reality, no god has a good temper; however, according to the priest Zede's report, the other party not only had a bad tone but also made sarcastic remarks.
Even ordinary deities—even evil ones—have to put on an act to create a sense of holiness.
But this deity doesn't seem willing to even pretend. However, considering that the other party's name contains "source of curses," this deity may simply enjoy "speaking ill of others."
Speaker Dohaden Hawke, instead of immediately discussing how to respond to the divine request, asked the ugliest member of the council, "Is the Creator of all things still not responding?"
"No." The senator was covered in tumors and sores. Besides being a senator, he was also a priest of the "True Creator," but unfortunately, the "True Creator" had not responded to the prayers of the Sener Federation for decades.
Dohaden then asked another member of parliament, "Have the other deities responded yet?"
That councilor was the high priest of the temple, which was mainly dedicated to the "true creator," but there was also a row of small temples on one side of the temple, which housed the gods—or rather, the evil gods—that the federal cities had worshipped before.
Only after the "True Creator" failed to respond did they begin to pray to the gods.
The Federation desperately needs divine protection.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Doharden then asked the priest Zedd, "Do you have any enemies?"
"Yes." Zeder seemed to realize something and said the names of the two people.
Doharten continued, "I need you to take a risk and, when you offer sacrifices to that god about our history and information, ask Him why the youngest son of the Giant King became what he is now."
He solemnly said, "This problem may incur the wrath of the gods, and I ask that you bear the wrath of the gods alone!"
"If you die, I will kill your two enemies as well. If you survive, you will become a senator."
This question was clearly a test of the gods, and they knew very well that one should not put the gods to the test.
As for helping Zedd kill his enemies, it's because Zedd is a Sequence 6 "Demon," and most of Zedd's family members died at his hands. Only those who killed him would be willing to work for him.
This federal city is not as cautious as Silver City, because they do not have "the bounty of the earth" or black-faced grass.
The people here are mostly twisted and insane, and the place is filled with bloodshed and violence.
They thought that at worst they would die in madness, since there was no hope anyway.
Speaker Dohaden's probing of the gods and his explanation to Zeder already demonstrate the caution that this federation can display.
Zeder nodded and said, "No problem."
Dohaden continued, "Gentlemen, we have sent out more than a dozen pilgrimage teams, but we have not found the Kingdom of the True Creator, and this deity no longer responds to our prayers."
"Therefore, we must do everything possible to find the protection of a new god."
"This is dangerous because we are going to learn about new gods and possibly face the wrath of the real Creator."
"But none of that matters anymore, because without a new faith, the Sener Federation will cease to exist in at most ten years."
It wasn't that they couldn't hold on any longer, but rather that their enemy, the city-state of Pydis, was protected by the gods. In recent battles, the Sen'er Federation had gradually lost too much extraordinary power and was almost unable to withstand the enemy's offensive.
Moreover, the city-state of Pydis seems to have found a way to control the youngest son of the "Giant King". In the two most recent battles, the youngest son of the "Giant King" attacked the Senr Federation first. After finally driving it away, the people of the city-state of Pydis attacked again.
The members of the Senr Federal Council believed that the gods of the city-state of Pythias had given them help.
That's why they pray everywhere, hoping to regain a response from the gods.
At the same time, what they prayed for was control over the young son of the "King of Giants".
Finally, Doha said, "Everyone, prepare yourselves. Either you're destroyed, or you're ready to worship a new god!"
In a villa in the western district of the northern continent.
This is property of the Aurora Club. Raphael just moved in today. Wagner sent over a newly hired butler, servants, cook, and so on, which made Raphael live the life of a millionaire all at once.
-
Moreover, Raphael plans to have all these expenses reimbursed by the Aurora Tour.
Since there's so much money sitting in the account anyway, might as well use it.
Raphael is making preparations for an extraordinary gathering in a few days—actually, there's not much preparation needed, since there's already a well-established process.
His main task was to determine what he, as the host, should do.
After reviewing some records he had left behind, Raphael returned to his room to rest before entering the "Dark Hut" to see how far the ugly middle-aged man in the "Forsaken Land" had progressed.
Not long after arriving at the "Dark Hut," flames belonging to the ugly middle-aged man suddenly appeared.
Raphael extended his spiritual power over and saw that the other party was offering up information about the Sener Federation.
Raphael raised his hand and opened the "Gate of Sacrifice".
The land forsaken by the gods, the temple of the Sen'er Federation.
Zede prayed fervently, hoping that the god who had just responded would accept the offerings on the altar.
A dense, corrupt and evil power descended once more. The area above the altar suddenly became illusory, and the corrupt power formed a vortex from which two bronze gates engraved with evil and malevolent symbols appeared.
The door opened, and a tremendous suction force pulled away the books and papers from the altar.
Zede quickly added, "Great God, there's one question I really can't understand: why did the Giant King's youngest son turn out like that?"
He knelt nervously before the altar, preparing to face divine punishment.
But to his surprise, the next second, he heard the voice of the deity in his ear: "Because of the curse of the 'Ancient Sun God'."
Zede breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank the gods when suddenly he felt a surge of malevolent power descend upon him.
puff~
Zede's stomach exploded like fireworks, and writhing internal organs and flesh covered the entire altar.
He opened his mouth wide in pain, but no sound came out.
The next second, that surging power descended once more, and the internal organs and flesh wriggled back into Zeder's body, growing back in their original positions.
Zeder seemed to have all his strength drained away, and collapsed in front of the altar.
He knew this was divine punishment.
Then, the surging evil power disappeared, and the altar returned to its original tranquility.
But Zedd understood that the deity meant, "If there is a next time, it will be an even more painful curse."
O
This deity will not easily kill those who offend Him, but will instead subject them to painful torment until they finally beg for death.
