C508 – God’s Punishment
Yalin Empire capital, Silverwing City.
The speed at which information was spread in ancient times was very slow. What happened thousands of miles away… Usually, it would take a few months to reach the capital city. And all urgent matters could be transmitted through the flames of war. In a short one to two days, the news would reach the capital.
This world’s Fire Beacon used a method to burn words. It was to make the flames burn a clear letter on the side of the tower and send it all the way to the back. It could almost send messages from the front line to the back in a short period of time.
When Lo Ya flapped her wings and appeared in the air, the city that was dozens of kilometers below was also seen.
It was even bigger than the previous one. The urbanization rate of the Yalin Empire was inexplicably high, and the big cities could have more than a million people.
However, it was slightly inappropriate to call such a city a city because the city had everything from good farmland to production gardens. It was just that the city was divided into several areas according to the position of the city wall.
The person who became the Nourishing Insect had the special effect of light added. It looked especially awesome.
In order to highlight Lo Ya’s identity as a god, this awesome person in the heart of the Nourishing Insect would use a respectful attitude to face Lo Ya.
With a flap of his wings, both parties slowly descended under the effect of the Magic and arrived at the Imperial Palace area.
The palaces here were very solemn. They were made up of a huge fountain square and a large building that occupied a large area. On both sides of the Central Avenue were soldiers armed to the teeth, all of them holding long spears in their hands. Their three legs were standing straight, and they looked very solemn.
However, when they saw Insect Girl and a glowing heart-man descending from the sky, the soldiers on guard were all dumbfounded.
“Is this the palace?”
In order to make the scene of her descent even more shocking, Lo Ya made the sky instantly become covered in dark clouds. One after another, deafening thunder rumbled and lightning tore through the dark sky. It lit up the earth. Lo Ya’s body was also filled with lightning.
Because the sound was too loud, the soldiers below all knelt on the ground.
“Looks like you think of me as a god.”
The Emperor was so scared that he didn’t dare to come out, but at the request of the ministers, he still brought along his respect towards the gods and went outside.
“I have brought the oracle.” The Nourishing Insect Heart person slowly spoke, “From today onwards, the country establishment sect will be Insect Girl’s sect, and the god will send down an army of ten million. Help you unify the world. As for you all, you must follow her request and collect important information for the divine spirit.”
The Emperor’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
In fact, the people of the Aragon Empire did not believe in this mysterious Insect Girl religion. They were all believers of another religion. The control in the country was also very strict. If the name of the religion was suddenly changed, it would be a huge mess.
Lo Ya seemed to have seen through his thoughts. She directly controlled a bolt of lightning to descend from the sky and strike the top of the palace.
“From today onwards, silently recite Lo Ya’s name and pray with a special ceremony to receive the response of the gods. All the heretics besides Insect Girl will be suppressed and will not be able to exist. Those who disobey will be punished by the gods.”
After saying that, Lo Ya activated her illusion ability and both of them disappeared in front of the Hearters at the same time. Only the rolling clouds in the sky seemed to take a long time to disperse.
A beastskin with a prayer engraved on it fell from the sky and landed in front of the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, could it be that the person just now was really a god?”
The Minister of Internal Affairs couldn’t help but ask.
It couldn’t be helped, this scene was too crazy. The Gods had personally descended, and it was completely different from what he had imagined.
However, the appearance of the lightning, the pressure that caused one’s heart to palpitate, definitely couldn’t be faked.
“Of course it’s a god. A god has descended. It seems like the glory of my Yalin Empire is about to arrive.”
The Emperor suddenly felt a little excited. The current Yalin Empire seemed to be very powerful. In fact, it has been plagued by internal and external problems for a long time. The problems that had been left behind for generations had been piled up, and there were already signs of an outbreak. Although the coup from a few years ago had been suppressed, it did not resolve the fundamental contradictions.
“Hand over the content to the archbishop and let him pray.”
Picking up the parchment, the Emperor handed it over to the Minister of Internal Affairs.
“This… This is from the Crown Church…”
“Who cares what the Church is, just let the archbishop pray.”
The royal family had been suppressed by religion for so long, the emperor himself felt that this was an opportunity. If that god really wanted to help the Yalin Empire, then there was no harm in abandoning the original religion. Perhaps he could completely control the power in his hands.
“Understood.”
The minister knew what the Emperor meant and had to admit that this was a very risky plan.
After more than an hour, the contents of the parchment were copied and sent to the Temple.
The archbishop in charge of managing the capital was of high status, second only to the Pope.
After seeing the way to pray, he coldly snorted and wanted to throw it away, but suddenly thought of something and handed it to the priest below.
“Prayer to the great Creator.”
The priest didn’t think too much and thought that the higher ups were going to promote a new prayer method, so he began to follow this arrangement.
After the candle and incense were ready, he knelt down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to chant.
“Great God, Supreme Lord, your devout believer is here praying, requesting your response.”
The bugs that had long connected the Spiritual Link immediately gave a simple response.
In the Spirit world, a mysterious white light appeared.
The priest was stunned for a moment. When he felt this warmth, he was immediately overjoyed.
“Great Creator Paya, I am your loyal…”
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and a shadow that came out of nowhere hit the kneeling position of the priest.
His body exploded, and a huge pit appeared on the ground.
“……”
The archbishop was completely dumbfounded.
After a long time, he finally regained his senses and didn’t know what the problem was.
It seemed like… this guy who prayed made the gods angry?
This was the first time in countless years that such an exaggerated incident had happened.
The situation here was quickly reported to the Emperor. After learning that the other party had died after chanting the name of the Creator, the Emperor had more or less understood.
“This new god is going to start a war with Paya.”
It was just a misconception, it was a heavenly punishment, heavy casualties.
He didn’t dare to personally pray and ask another person to help, as well as ask the other person to read Lo Ya’s name.
This prayer was very successful, this fellow successfully received the oracle.
“Your Majesty, the gods request that you hold a ceremony for the entire city at noon tomorrow. The gods will send down a miracle and send an army to assist us.”
Hearing the minister’s words, the Emperor took a deep breath and nodded: “I understand.”
He can only do as the gods say, this is a true god that can send down a miracle, it can even change the weather.
Under such a threat, he could only force his own country to change its faith.
