Chapter 23 My mistake, I will end it(2/3)
"I just want to express respect and let that great being see my true face. This is a symbol of loyalty."
"I don't believe it."
Alfred shrugged,
road:
"In fact, the more you believe in something, the more doubtful you are about it. This is why some great scientists will embrace theology in their later years."
"Are you...still doubting him? I thought you had already given up on that great being."
"You know what my biggest doubt is?" Alfred laughed at himself, "That is that he has no doubts."
"I know, you told me, hymns, words."
"Not only that, do you still remember that a month ago, I left Luojia and went to Bergwijn?"
"Remember."
"Many churches sent people there, and even the Ruilan government's troops were dispatched to blockade that area. Do you know what happened there?"
"What's up?"
"Someone held a divine descending ceremony on the outskirts of Berwyn."
"God descending ceremony?" Ms. Molly's face was very calm, "What do I think it is?"
The divine descending ceremony is used by many church priests to pray to the gods they serve to send down their light and will to guide lost believers.
"Oh?" Alfred lowered his voice, "But that divine descending ceremony summoned an evil god, and an unknown evil god at that!"
Evil God does not specifically refer to a single existence, it is a collective term.
In churches with huge orthodox status and continuous inheritance, their God is worshiped as the true God;
Their gods have nothing to do with "evil gods", because anyone who dares to call the gods they believe in as evil gods will be exterminated by them.
In addition to the orthodox large churches, there are many small churches. Their number of believers is not as large as that of the large churches, and their influence is not as great. However, the God they serve can be respected on the basis of "survival".
with recognition.
In addition, there are branch "gods", which are systems of gods that are branched off from the orthodox church. These gods may be disciples of the true god or their founders may have served the big church, and they have gradually evolved into new branches.
, can be blended in terms of narrative structure.
Even some evil gods, such as those whose doctrines are extreme, whose followers are ruthless in behavior, and who have been suppressed and even exterminated in the end, cannot be regarded as evil gods because of their beliefs and the gods they serve.
The evil god... has no faith and does not rely on faith to exist. His definition, to explain it simply and crudely, is probably a single existence. He wanders between heaven and earth, or is sealed somewhere in myths and legends, but he can pass through "
"God descends" to "lead" them.
This is an act that disrupts order,
Because this kind of behavior is likely to lead to catastrophe, and God knows what will be summoned in the end.
However, for many years, although such disasters have occurred, they have not happened many times, and there are few records in ancient books.
The reason is specification limitations.
The specifications of the divine descending ceremony need to be prepared.
The level of specifications directly determines what kind of existence the "god" you invite is.
This does not only refer to the material preparations, but actually the material preparations are simple, and even most of the materials can be purchased directly with money, even "holy weapons";
The level of specifications is linked to the ability of the person hosting the ceremony.
The stronger the ability of the ceremony leader, the higher the standard of the divine descending ceremony.
People who have the ability to hold high-standard ceremonies basically only exist in orthodox churches, because only orthodox churches can achieve development in this area.
For the priests of a small church, when they hold the same divine descending ceremony, being able to summon a ray of light is considered the limit, and they even have to shed tears of gratitude for it.
It is normal for the priests of large churches to summon miracles. For the higher priests or chief abbots, the summoning of "artifacts" is recorded in ancient books.
Ordinary "evil god" summoning rituals, the lowest level, you can go to "Wanbixian" to summon weak and weak monsters floating nearby. Of course, even the weakest monster, even if it has no ability to kill, is enough to kill ordinary people.
Scared half to death.
Further up, as the specifications continue to improve, the strength and type of the summoned strange demons will also increase.
but,
These are all bearable.
In this world, it is not that big of a deal to have an extra demon with acceptable or relatively strong strength. The Orthodox Church has a deep foundation and can annihilate it with just a wave of the hand.
Therefore, strange demons either live in seclusion in inaccessible corners, or they are very cautious in human society and do not dare to cause too much trouble.
What is often dealt with is the kind of mindless low-end goods like the one who possessed Mrs. Hughes.
And what really makes the big church intolerable is
It is an evil god summoning ceremony with higher specifications.
Because the large church monopolizes this high-standard ritual, the summons that can be called the "evil god" recorded in ancient books are, without exception, performed by high-ranking personnel within these orthodox large churches.
Such people, also known as "rebels," rebel not only against the church they belong to, but also attempt to subvert the entire order framework.
During the day, they have the ability to receive miracles through divine descending rituals;
So,
At night, you can have the same ability to summon and attract powerful demons that are beyond the endurance range...also known as "evil gods".
Every time the "evil god" comes, it is a catastrophe, which will cause extremely terrifying turbulence and can even lead to the demise of an orthodox church;
Because, the evil god who was summoned probably fought against a certain true god in the last era or in myths and legends, or was suppressed and sealed by that true god.
Once he returned, even though his strength was much weakened, his hatred for the sect left behind by his former enemies was beyond words.
What’s even more strange is that throughout the entire era, no matter how powerful the orthodox church is, they can at most summon “artifacts” or “shadows of gods”, but no church has the ability to summon the “true god” again.
.
Under the premise that the true god cannot come, if you want to suppress the evil god again, you must pay a terrible price.
Ms. Molly's face finally showed a look of shock: "Evil God!"
Immediately afterwards,
Ms. Molly rolled her eyes and asked:
"Did it succeed?"
Alfred seemed to be very satisfied with Ms. Molly's emotional change and said: "If it didn't succeed, why did it attract so much attention? By the same token, it can be seen that the standards of this divine descending ceremony must also be extremely high.
Otherwise, even if I summon one more you or one more me, it will... mean nothing."
"No, Alfred, I mean, you mean..."
Alfred nodded,
road:
"A ridiculously powerful judge, haha.
After that duel, you know what I was afraid of in the end? It seemed like I was tied with him and both sides suffered, right?
But after thinking about it carefully, I discovered that the divine spells he used were all taught and used only at the Inquisitor level of the Church of Order.
A member of the Cult of Kosmos, who was significantly stronger than the Inquisitor, deliberately used an Inquisitor-level divine spell to fight me.
It can only explain,
he,
Hiding strength."
"So, actually, you shouldn't be able to beat him?"
"Ms. Molly, that's not the point!"
"Okay, sorry."
"Besides, I didn't use all my strength, and I was afraid of suffering an all-round attack from the Cult of Kosmos."
"Okay, keep talking."
"Today, tonight, I understand."
"Is it him?" Ms. Molly asked, "Grandpa in the bloodline sense of the great being? But that divine descending ceremony took place in Belwyn..."
At this point, Ms. Molly shut up;
How stupid are you to hold this taboo ceremony that is destined to be watched by everyone in the city where you live? You must change the place.
"So, Ms. Molly, what I doubt is not his greatness, he must be a great being, there is no doubt about it!
What I doubt and fear is that beneath his appearance of a true god, what if he has the essence of an evil god?
evil god,
That is an existence that even we two strange demons are extremely afraid of."
