Chapter 515 Punishment of the Gods
The worship of ancient and powerful creatures is an idea rooted in human nature. This obsession stems from one's own weakness and hope for beautiful things.
Of course, other motivational factors are not ruled out, such as unwillingness, resentment, blood feud, etc....
As the Scarlet Witch said, a person who can sword-fight with foreign gods for the sake of believers Killing the superiors, what a terrifying attraction this has for the exiled survivors.
In fantasy dreams, the vast majority of people, or in other words, most creatures, live in the life they dreamed of in the past. This is a dream. For dreamers and dreamers who have passed away, everything around them is a dream that has been realized, including wealth, power, and fame. The major races live under the shadow of the major gods. The gods provide them with protection and receive faith to consolidate their status as gods.
However, living in harmony is only a common phenomenon. In this world where time flows extremely fast, not everything is a paradise. It is just because time passes fast enough that people are good at forgetting.
In the ancient times, there was even a war against the gods on this land. A war started by humans, a race that seems extremely weak today, but people are good at forgetting that war. The outcome, the victor and the loser, and even the existence of the war itself have been forgotten.
Of course, the gods have certainly not forgotten.
The gods have their own methods of punishment. The dead cities that were once filled with corpses have now been replaced by the new kingdom created by the dreamers. With the permission of the gods, the cities are once again glowing and prosperous. .
But for the descendants of the arrogant race who dared to challenge the divine power, they were expelled from the civilized area and completely exiled to the barren forbidden land where even evil creatures could not survive. As early as tens of millions of years ago, the last batch of people here The demons and ghouls have already moved out.
This is the far eastern forbidden land.
"Oth-Nargai" is the only country in this vast eastern land.
This is a country built from the ruins, and before the reconstruction of Oth-Nargai, the entire eastern part was called no man's land.
To this day, the area outside the Os-Nargai border is still designated as a restricted area. Not only the nationals of the country are not allowed to enter or exit, but also foreign travelers are not allowed to enter.
……
However, the fact is that the "No Man's Forbidden Zone" is not really uninhabited, it is just that the people living here are not recognized as human beings by the gods.
Those are the forgotten tribes, descendants of the conquerors who looked like gods in ancient times. Their bloodline was once extremely powerful, but as the defeated party, their former territories have been divided up, and new kingdoms have been established one after another. It was built on the corpses of their people, and the name of the conqueror has long been forgotten by the world. Even if someone occasionally sees a humanoid living creature in the restricted area on the towering walls of Os-Nargai, they will only Recognize them as ghouls looking for food in the mountains and forests.
The name of the conqueror was wiped out thousands of years ago.
Not only has the world forgotten it, but even the descendants of this group can hardly remember it.
In a desolate land as hard as hell, you need to try your best every second to survive, and you may face life and death every day. The glory of the past can no longer provide any hope for the soul that is riddled with holes. Solace, what they have to consider is how to successfully survive this cold night...
Just like the Scarlet Witch said.
The misery endured will never end, and the "God" deep in the soul will never disappear.
This is a common characteristic of all low-level people.
…
To a certain extent, this is also an opportunity for the evil god to take advantage of.
Although Milo did not admit that he was an evil spirit, the fact was that what he did was consistent with the choices of the evil gods.
With the help of the Scarlet Witch, that is, through preaching and bewitching, Varrokan's name has been widely spread among the remnants of this desolate restricted area.
......
Dreamland is a world where gods are flying all over the sky and there are as many psychic sighters as dogs. Even cats can tear apart demons and ghosts with their hands. Everything that sounds outrageous and illusory can be done here. It becomes a reality because its underlying logic is a dream in the waking world, and dreams do not pay attention to logic.
In the fantasy world, people not only know the existence of the gods, but even know their temperaments and characteristics. The distance between the gods and the inferiors seems to be closer than ever before, but in fact it is also enlarged like never before. Because when you know that there is a real God behind the shrine you worship, you will only press your head lower.
All races hibernate and thrive under the protection of a certain god. This is the way of survival for the middle and lower races in the dreamland.
Except the remnants. This is a race abandoned by the gods.
They will be forever imprisoned in the barren restricted area, living by eating stiff plant stems. In extreme cases, they may have to eat the skin and flesh of their dead compatriots to fill their stomachs.
The rules and order of the environment are forcing them to die and degenerate.
It seems that the anger of the gods will never be extinguished. Instead of eradicating the entire remnant race with thunder, they will worsen all the ecology in the restricted area and let them fend for themselves.
Perhaps the gods want to use this method to make the survivors begin to hate the blasphemous acts of their ancestors one day when they are suffering, in order to humiliate those who have committed disrespectful crimes against the gods. conqueror.
Who knows...
Maybe the gods no longer care. The few remnant tribes here are even weaker than ants to the gods above the order.
But every time after the all-night icy rain, the stream of light from the sky appears over the eastern continent again, the bustling scene in the capital of Os-Nargai will always appear in the clouds and mist. The luxurious wine pools and meat forests, the warm sunshine bathing in the air, and the happy smiles on the faces of all the people of Os-Nargai. These layers of pictures will be displayed in front of the survivors with incomparable clarity using the clouds and mist in the sky as a curtain. In front of you, you only need to raise your head slightly to see all this illusion.
These pictures come from the refraction of light sources and are real pictures in the city of Os-Nargai.
But for the survivors of the restricted area, it is more false and distant than a mirage...
...
...
All of the above is After Milo "arrived" in the restricted area as an incarnation, he obtained information through observation around a camp.
His arrival was not silent.
Mainly...
...
"God knows what the Red Witch told them when she was preaching..."
Milo held a An animal skin stained with dried blood was thrown back to the ground, with an incomplete summoning ritual recorded in ancient characters.
Obviously this is the "book" left by the Scarlet Witch.
The blood stains on this book now come from the performers of the ritual.
In front of Milo, there were nearly twenty human limbs and severed arms, which were arranged into a circular totem.
A chilling fact is that the dismemberment work was completed by their own tribe, because the total number of people who performed this summoning ceremony was more than twenty people, and there were no other bystanders.
Because the other people were basically broken down into more than seven or eight pieces, only the last piece of the totem puzzle, the owner of the last corpse, only had time to cut off his own left leg, and then He died of excessive blood loss in the freezing night.
Therefore, the horror and horror of the entire ceremony is simply unimaginable.
What is really chilling is actually the motive of these people to hold this tragic ritual. How desperate these survivors who were summoned to commit suicide must have been with their hearts in order to complete the necessary rituals. This summoning totem...
…
“These are your believers?”
Dillashaw’s figure came out of the shadows on the side.
