Throne of Magical Arcana

The Solna River flows quietly, gestating one-third of the life of the Erdo Peninsula, forming many valleys, among which there are several city-states in the Solna River Valley named after the river. Relying on abundant water sources and fertile land, they have become the most prosperous place after Belitan City.

Outside the newly built "Lord of War" temple in Husum City is a wide square. A half-height platform has been built in front of it, surrounded by people wearing linen robes. They gathered spontaneously to support the gods of their beliefs. The soldiers of the Angenoma Empire with bronze breastplates lazily guarded the outside, turning a blind eye to the small amount of religious disputes, as if wishing that these heretics would kill themselves and restore the world to peace.

On the half-height platform, the eight remaining priests of Baal, including the moon god, the god of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, the mother goddess of the earth, the ruler of the underworld, the god of the sun and justice, the god of wisdom, and the goddess of love and reproduction, sat on the silver table. chair, waiting for the debate to begin. If you can't let the power of your own god surpass other gods this time, and become one of the last three gods, then you will be expelled from the valley by the Lord of War, lose your stable source of belief, gradually decline, and finally be placed in peace. The corresponding gods of the Genoma pantheon are differentiated and absorbed, becoming an incarnation of the other party or falling completely.

Although every priest knows that this is the means of the "Lord of War" to divide and rule, and in the end it will inevitably allow their gods to truly enter the Angonoma pantheon, but no one dares to resist, this is the fate of the betrayers and losers . And for them, this road may not be hopeless. After integrating the beliefs of the Solna Valley, the power of their own gods will inevitably increase significantly. an unknown.

The "Lord of War" priest sitting on the golden throne above is a beautiful brown-haired woman, wearing an Angoroma-style white robe, with the hem slit to the waist, revealing her smooth and powerful legs from time to time.

She is the second priest of the Temple of War in Belitan, and Nina, who also belongs to the level of the high priest.

"Salute to the great lord of war, the master of all strife and destruction." The sixteen priests of the eight gods saluted together, just like they did when they faced the main god Afando.

Nina herself danced a war dance to please the gods, then solemnly faced below, and was about to announce the beginning of this "theological" debate.

Suddenly, two black-haired men in washed white gowns stood in front of the half-height platform and shouted to the guards: "Let's go up, we represent the great God of resurrection, fertility and redemption to attend the theological conference."

"There has never been such a god name, it must belong to false gods, guard, drive them out!" Nobu, the priest of the moon god Asin, sternly reprimanded.

The strength of the moon god Asin is in the middle among the remaining eight gods. It is hard to say whether he can become the final three victors. Therefore, in the face of a competitor who appeared out of nowhere, the old man Nobu in a complicated and gorgeous robe naturally would not Have a good face.

Francis, as a "follower", signaled Lucien with his eyes to quickly speak the prepared words.

Lucien met Nobu's eyes "without fear" and said, "Whether our God of Resurrection, Fertility, and Salvation can participate in this meeting is decided by the great Lord of War, not the Moon God. The High Priest Nina issued an order to rank the Moon God before the Lord of War?"

Francis raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. These were not the words discussed before, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the effect seems to be better. It can more effectively provoke the relationship between the Moon God and the Lord of War, and irritate Asin more powerfully. , to achieve the real goal: "This Leviathan is very capable of acting on the spot..."

"You..." Nobu, the High Priest of the Moon God, was stunned and angry when such a big hat was put on, and he was speechless for a moment.

Lucien frightened Nobu and stopped the other priests from speaking, so he looked at Nina "sincerely": "Dear High Priest, according to the oracle of the Lord of War, all the priests in the Solna Valley should be All the preaching gods are eligible to participate in this meeting, I wonder if I misunderstood?"

"No." Nina answered coldly and curtly like a female warrior.

Lucien smiled: "Our Lord, the God of Resurrection, Fertility, and Redemption also has believers in the Solna Valley. I beg the high priest to allow us to participate in this theological meeting."

"You have to prove it yourself." One more god has no effect on the arrangement of the Lord, but it will make the contradiction more acute, which is beneficial to the future annexation, so Nina has no objection and said succinctly.

Lucien raised his right hand, and Anhuis, who was hiding in the dark, immediately applauded lightly. The former secret believers of the "God of Fire and Destruction" in front of him clamored loudly, praising El, the god of resurrection, fertility and redemption.

Nobu and the priests of the other gods glanced at each other. They didn't expect that the god of resurrection, abundance and redemption who appeared strangely had already secretly preached in the valley. He and others were too careless.

They had no idea that this was the incarnation of Afando, because before Francis put forward his opinion, according to the fundamental understanding of the gods, the importance of the priesthood is more than the name of the god, it means the amount of power and spell-like, so even if they change The name of the god will not change the priesthood, and often after annexing other similar priesthoods, the name of the god is changed to form a "vest" to annex the original belief. Like this, it seems that it is not related to the priesthood of "flame, destruction". Fertility and Redemption" is hardly reminiscent of Afando.

Under the hostile gazes of priests and believers, Lucien took Francis to sit on the newly added silver chair, and listened to Nina say: "This theological meeting is to debate the power of the gods, so as to identify who is the right one." True God, who is a false god, who is more worthy of belief. According to the oracle of the Lord of War, everything is three, and there are only three final victors."

With this sentence, no matter how far the final debate goes, the winner will obey the oracle of the Lord of War. In the hearts of believers, it is obvious that the Lord of War will be even better.

"My lord is the incarnation of the sun, illuminating all things and dispelling darkness. Like a flame, it not only symbolizes the power of light, but also represents the power of punishment. At the same time, he is the maker of rules, restraining the gods and human beings. So there is no doubt that it is above the other seven gods." The priest of the god of the sun and justice said first, describing the authority and power of the gods, so as to win the yearning of the believers.

Uneducated believers nodded one after another. The sun hangs in the sky every day, making people feel warm. It forms a strong contrast with the darkness. It must be very important to know by feeling. Therefore, the "God of the Sun and Justice" must also be very powerful. Believe in Him There might be more benefits.

The master of the underworld saw the changes in the expressions of the believers below, and immediately stood up and said: "There is life and there is death, and every intelligent life cannot escape the shadow of death. Life is short, but death is eternal. The great 'Master of the Underworld' controls The world after death is the final destination, so it is of course more important than other gods."

The fear of death is a natural part of everyone. Thinking of the darkness, coldness, pain and eternal sleep after death, it seems that belief in the "lord of the underworld" is much more useful than belief in the "god of the sun and justice". Just listening to the description Know His strength and importance.

"The earth bears everything, and the underworld also relies on it to exist. The earth is still pregnant with life and death. Anyone who offends the earth mother will suffer famine, earthquakes, and landslides." The earth mother priest threatened believers.

Compared with the deep sleep after death, the real life seems to be more important, especially many people have experienced the unbearable famine, which is as terrifying as the earthquake that destroyed the world, which makes them fearful, and they dare not betray the mother of the earth Belief.

"The gods rule the terrifying lightning, which can kill everyone and every god. Anyone who disobeys him will be struck by lightning."

"...If you turn your back on the God of Wind and Rain, He will send continuous torrential rain for forty-nine days, causing the sea to overflow, the river to flood, and the mountains to be flooded, turning the entire earth into a kingdom of floods, and causing all living things to die. destroy."

Gradually, the priests used skilled intimidation methods to intimidate people's beliefs. The priests of the God of Love and the God of Wisdom could not resist, so they could only withdraw from the debate with a pale face.

They didn't have any hope from the beginning, they just yelled "wisdom can save people from suffering" and "love and reproduction can continue the group" but they were ignored.

For such a debate without philosophical speculation, whoever blows louder will be stronger, Francis seemed a little uncomfortable. He controlled the air fluctuations and secretly said to Lucien: "Wait a minute, don't worry about offending the Lord of War, You can describe the great El as powerfully as you can, which is what I call the cycle theory of 'creation, control, destruction, resurrection'."

"Silver Moon has existed since the beginning of the world, and it will never change. It symbolizes the immortality of life. It expels darkness, merges darkness, and brings peace of mind." Nobu said with sweat on his forehead, compared to intimidating and daunting , Moon God Asin seems to be quite different from other gods, this is what the God of Fire and Destruction is best at.

After one round, all the priests focused their eyes on Lucien, wanting to see what power this god of resurrection, fertility and redemption could have.

Sitting on the silver seat, Lucien said calmly: "The seasons change and the sun rises and sets, which means that things are born and then destroyed, but after being destroyed, they can be reborn. My Lord is the God of Resurrection."

The priest of the sun god stared at him. Is the sun turned into a phenomenon, and the resurrection boiled down to its essence?

"Death is not the end, and life will have different destinations. According to what they have done in life, they will be judged justly, and those who are good and virtuous will escape the cycle of life and death and enter the holy house of our Lord to enjoy eternal happiness The neutral, ordinary, good and evil people will become the spirit of life again, fall into the mortal world, be born as a baby, and continue to suffer the joy and pain of life, while the evildoers and despicable people will receive punishment in the underworld. long suffering."

"As long as you believe in my lord and are willing to repent piously, you will be redeemed and become the first type of people."

This kind of theory has never been heard by the believers below. Compared with the eternal darkness and coldness after death, they are more willing to believe in the cycle theory described by this young priest. Hope, and, there is a way to redemption!

Francis felt more and more that Leviathan was talented, able to construct a fairly complete theological world system based on his intentionally simple circulation theory, and thought to himself: "There are talents in this backward alien space..."

The face of the "Master of the Underworld" priest immediately turned black. Such a theory simply described his god as a follower, subordinate, or vassal of the revived god.

Facing such a system, Nobu, the priest of the moon god Asin, gave up his heart. Anyway, if he loses, everything will be over. It is better to turn defeat into victory with the help of alien mythology.

"Your gods are just the gods of a specific duty in the world's operation. My Lord is the god who created the world and all things, the god of light and creation. In the initial darkness, it was He who split the tranquility and brought created the light, and fabricated the earth, all things, and creatures!" Nobu completely ignored Nina's face, and threw out a certain version of the creation myth of the moon god.

At this moment, the priests of other gods were stunned. The moon god claimed to be the god of creation, so how could he be above him? So, they all recalled the myths related to their own gods to see if there were any similar rumors that could be borrowed.

Suddenly, the priest of the "God of Thunder" laughed loudly: "The Moon God created the world and all things, but my lord will destroy everything, destroy the world, and return everything to darkness. Only believers in Him can obtain eternal peace. "

He borrows a little from Lucien's theory of redemption.

With the beginning, the priest of the "God of the Sun and Justice" is not far behind: "My Lord is the God who maintains the world and delays destruction..."

"My lord is the original darkness, the original tranquility!" The priest of the "Lord of the Underworld" sneered at the believers of the moon god, the god of thunder, the god of the sun and the god of justice.

"Is this a theological debate? This is simply a bragging contest." Francis rubbed his forehead, and secretly sighed to Lucien, "This is not my specialty, you can play it yourself."

Seeing that the four gods had the upper hand, Lucien smiled indifferently and said, "This is just the creation, development and destruction of a small world, and it is only the beginning of a small world, and every three thousand of such small worlds can form a medium-sized world." world, and three thousand medium worlds can form a large world, and the number of large worlds is as many as the gravel in the Solna River."

"The boundless land containing so many great worlds was created by our Lord."

"My lord said that there must be boundless land, and there will be boundless land."

"My Lord said let there be light, and there was light."

"My lord says to perish, and he returns to nothing."

Who is afraid of whom?

A little late, because it is close to 4,000 words. .
