Chapter 22 There is no God in this world
The priest was extremely ferocious, his eyes widened and he raised his dagger high.
The people under the altar showed fear and anger.
Some people were ready to make a move, but in the end they did not dare to resist.
The terror of the Vampires has long been embedded in their hearts.
They were worried that their resistance at this time would lead to bloody revenge in the future.
Some people turned their heads and didn't dare to look again.
"In the name of God, die."
the priest shouted in a shrill voice.
"There is no god in this world. The so-called God of Blood is just a monster."
A voice interrupted the priest's movements.
The surrounding people all showed incredulous expressions.
Who dares to say such disrespectful words on such an occasion and risk his life?
The priest's movements froze.
His body shook with rage.
He turned to look at where the sound came from.
Want to find the damn blasphemer.
The next second, he saw a scene he would never forget.
Wearing golden armor and shrouded in radiance, the emperor walked from the crowd to the sacrificial platform.
The crowd spontaneously moved out of the way.
People along the way looked at him with shock, surprise, and confusion.
If there is a god in this world, the person in front of them is undoubtedly a real god.
"What are you talking about?"
The priest yelled guiltily.
"You know nothing about God, how dare you question His existence."
"There is no god in this world." The Emperor said: "The God of Blood in your mouth is just a monster who decorates himself with lies."
The priest pointed at the Emperor and shouted to the guards standing nearby.
"Seize this damn heretic."
"Execute him, he must be executed."
Vampire soldiers wearing armor and holding spears and swords swarmed forward.
Waldo and the forbidden army behind him activated the halberds in their hands, and the genetic engine in their bodies also switched to combat mode.
"How dare you disrespect our Lord."
They rushed towards the vampire soldiers at extremely fast speeds, releasing indescribable destructive power.
The heavy halberd was covered with bright electric arcs, extremely sharp and as heavy as a mountain.
Just waving it has amazing destructive power.
The vampire soldiers armed with crude weapons were chopped into pieces like ants.
In just a few seconds, a pile of broken flesh and blood was scattered across the square.
Those powerful vampire warriors were all killed in just a few breaths.
The priest holding the dagger showed a horrified expression.
He turned around and wanted to run.
But the next second, he was picked up by Waldo like a chicken.
"Who are you?" The priest's body trembled with fear.
The emperor stared at the other party with an indifferent expression: "I am the one who will judge you, a believer in false gods."
"Do you know my identity? I am the regional priest of the Scarlet Church."
"If you dare to attack me, you are challenging the entire church and the God of Blood."
"Oh, you're like this, and you still dare to threaten others." The raven flapped its wings and landed next to Waldo, sizing up this tough-looking guy.
"Let's build a cross, big guy. Roast him until he's sizzling and see if his God will save him."
The Emperor ignored the raven's evil whispers and gave Waldor his orders.
"Execute him."
The priest's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what the other party said.
The next second, his head flew up, then fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"If the priest is dead, the Scarlet Church will not let us go."
"The whole town is going to be slaughtered, and we're dead."
"Run quickly, the vampire army is coming soon. You may have a chance of survival after escaping into the wilderness."
The blood and cruelty of the Vampires have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Instead of being happy to see the priest dead, the people were so frightened that they wanted to flee.
Even if it is to escape to the wilderness and be among those terrible monsters, it is better than facing the wrath of the vampires.
"You need not be afraid."
The emperor spoke, his voice full of magnetism. His body shone brightly, illuminating this dim world like the sun.
"I am the Lord of the Human Empire, your savior."
Such a sacred image made the people so frightened that they wanted to turn around and run away. See a glimmer of hope
They didn't fully trust the Emperor, but they stopped trying to escape.
He did not panic and flee into the wilderness, causing unnecessary deaths and injuries.
"Big Brother, are you afraid that they will regard you as a new god?"
Raven asked curiously.
"If you want to break the belief in false gods, you must show an image that is nobler and more sacred than them."
"If I walk in the image of an ordinary person, these people will definitely not believe me and will only think that I am a tyrant."
The Emperor's tone was filled with resignation as he answered the raven from his heart.
He is a staunch atheist.

But human beings are suffering from the poison of subspace.
The cancer of religious belief has long been deeply bound to the destiny of mankind.
To destroy faith and promote scientific truth, he had to project a miraculous image.
He also knew that if he maintained this appearance, he would definitely trigger a new round of admiration.
But this is the best way he can think of.
If faith were really so easy to exterminate, there wouldn't be so many wars in human history.
He can't kill everyone who has faith.
"Okay, big guy, your grasp of human nature is really amazing."
Raven thought about the various gangsters he had encountered, and he understood the emperor's approach somewhat.
It's not that the Emperor wants to maintain that golden image.
But it has to be done.
The vampire ruler of the town soon received news of the tragic death of the priest.
He came over angrily with his soldiers.
He wants these damn humans to know who is the master of this world.
The Vampires possess strength and speed far beyond that of humans.
After injury, blood can also be used to recover.
For ordinary humans, the Vampires are an invincible nightmare.
But in front of the imperial army implanted with the imperial engine, these vampire soldiers are no different from the weeds on the roadside.
Just wave the halberd and you can harvest in tracts.
There is no suspense in this battle.
The vampire soldiers rushed over shouting various slogans, and were then slaughtered by the Forbidden Army.
Mutilated body parts were scattered throughout the town.
The air smelled of blood.
The ruler of the town was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, even trying to use his wings to escape into the sky.
When it flew several hundred meters into the sky, it was pierced by the halberd thrown by Waldo and shot down.
After landing, he was cut into dozens of pieces by the pursuing imperial guards, and he was completely dead.
The woman and her companion were rescued.
Their clothes are ragged and their eyes are tired, but they have an unyielding will.
Through questioning, the Emperor and his party learned that these people were rebels.
The woman who just shouted long live mankind is named Lucina, and she is a cursed person.
Her parents were also members of the resistance army and died at the hands of the vampires a few years ago.
"The Cursed? The Untouchable?"
Raven can directly see Lucina's soul.
That is a black hole, which is constantly devouring the surrounding ether and soul power.
The Emperor asked Lucina: "What happened to this planet? Why do those mutants rule you?"
Lucina showed a hint of sadness.
"All this starts from the early days of the Age of Strife."
"Humanity's own hypocrisy almost brought this civilization to extinction."
PS: I was criticized by book friends, but I have to form the Sisters of Silence and add some buffs to the opponent.
After all, Sister Silence's status is very high. She is the right-hand man of the Emperor. If she is not loyal to humanity, she will not be able to achieve such a high status.
I checked the information and found that the Sisters of Silence were established much later than the Custodes, and were only formed during the Great Crusade.
I changed the Catastrophe of Petarkanas to be the origin of the Silent Sisters, and prepared to equip them with Silent Engines.
There's only one chapter left to wrap up the main plot of Petakanas, so don't worry about procrastination.
