Chapter 493: Insider! Betrayal!

Nowen was more curious than his followers about what would happen if his followers tried to borrow the power of the devil.

When Rena touched the cursed book, Nowen actually did nothing.

To be precise, it should be that Nowen had not had time to do anything, just because Rena prayed, the power that was pulling Rena's soul disappeared.

This reaction was exactly the same as those evil gods who had tried to cast their eyes on Nowen's followers.

This was what made Nowen most curious.

It would be fine if the evil gods were afraid of him.

How could the devil be afraid of him?

Nowen planned to ask the old unlucky guy next to him first.

He knocked on Resti who was hiding in the box.

It is worth mentioning.

During this period of time, Nowen consumed his divine power and expanded a lot of space for him to move around. Correspondingly, the size of the flesh and blood box was also enlarged by Nowen.

If Resti was equivalent to staying in a small dark room before, now it should be considered a standard room at least.

Moreover, after staying for a long time, Resti got used to seeing those blood vessels and flesh, and recently he was discussing with Norman whether he could add some furniture to the box.

This made Norman laugh and cry.

Theoretically, gods don't need to rest, nor do they need food and water from the mortal world. They just need to get some tables, chairs, benches, beds, sofas, etc. to experience the corresponding feelings.

"The hell dimension in the past is similar to the current situation? Will the devil also sign a contract with the mortals at that time and force them to collect souls?"

Norman has already discovered it.

Although the general world order in the old and new eras is the same, some details will show completely opposite differences.

Resti answered sullenly: "If you are asking about before the Dark Ages, then it is indeed similar. At that time, the God of Death Jaeger had not fallen into a deep sleep, and order and everything was normal."

"The Hell dimension is full of sulfur and flames. The devils are actually quite miserable. They are the overseers of souls, and they can never rest."

"The hard labor and torture of atonement cannot be more or less, it must be exactly the same, so the devils are perfectionists, and they may also have more serious obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"Anyway, the relationship between the devil and the gods is not bad, or in other words, the devil is actually a kind of alternative god, but their source of power is not faith, but the souls of mortals."

"Later, Jaeger fell into a deep sleep, and the devils began to look for warlocks in the mortal world who could sign a contract with them. Everyone knew about this and acquiesced."

Noven was surprised.

This is a bit counterintuitive.

The source of the devil's power is the soul.

The souls of the dead are okay.

Sending the souls of the living to hell, doesn't that mean that the number of believers in the gods will decrease?

Resti explained Norman's doubts:

"Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"The more sins a mortal has in his soul, the more power it can provide to the devil,"

"The difference is probably as big as the difference between black bread and a luxurious meal."

"The devils actually prefer those mortals with deep sins, but they are not very interested in those good people and kind people."

"So although some souls will be taken by the devil, their existence can also alert mortals, like a sword of punishment hanging over their heads. If they commit too many sins, they will be hunted down by the devil's spokesperson, that is, those warlocks."

"If we really want to kill all the warlocks and leave no way alive, let alone whether the devils in the hell dimension will launch a dimensional war, there will be no more direct means to warn mortals in the future."

Norman understood.

The devil is equivalent to the catfish in the sardine can.

You can't even use "bad" or "evil" to describe them.

They harvest souls for nothing else, just to keep themselves alive.

This is just like the survival of gods requires faith.

For mortals, faith is something invisible and intangible, and offering faith will not make them lose a piece of flesh or lose their lives, so the world has developed into what it is today, with various beliefs and sects of gods flourishing. What if the survival of the gods in this world requires fresh flesh and blood from mortal races?

Norwen estimated that the world might become crazy in another way.

For example, mortals would hold grand blood sacrifices regularly, or there would be professions that rely on contributing their own flesh and blood for a living, and they might even develop some bizarre and weird flesh and blood stitching technology.

Be it faith or flesh and blood.

In essence, they are all necessities for survival.

Mortals also need to eat to survive, so can it be considered a sin to eat cattle, sheep, and pigs as food?

"So the devil is actually on the side of the gods?"

Resti was silent for a moment: "... before."

"Because in the secret that only the gods know, the arrival of the end of the gods... is directly related to the devils in the dimension of hell."

Noven blinked: "Ah?!"

He heard from Resti last time that the truth of the end of the gods is that the gods of the old times could not withstand the accumulated pollution caused by the invasion of the void, and finally one after another, like a chain reaction, all exploded.

So this matter is not that simple?

Noven reacted after thinking about it.

That's right.

The gods also have reason and can think, and even people like Resti will run away in advance when they see that the situation is not good.

Why did so many gods in the old days have to fight to the death on the throne and watch themselves die? This doesn't make sense.

There must be something unexpected that they didn't expect.

"The void dimension is indiscriminate in invading other dimensions."

"The gods of the sacred dimension have been resisting the intrusion and destruction of the void together with the demons of the hell dimension. The void dimension is the common enemy of all existence."

"The demons betrayed the gods."

"The arrival of the end of the gods is actually because the sacred dimension was suddenly hit hard by the hell dimension."

"The defense line was lost, and the void took advantage of the opportunity to enter."

"The situation that was barely able to maintain a stalemate was instantly broken."

"The pollution from the void poured into every kingdom of God..."

Nowen's scalp was numb.

"No, no!"

"The devils in Hell... Why are they doing this? What's the benefit?!"

"They helped the void to pollute all the gods, so won't they be doomed too?"

Noven felt an extremely complex emotion in Resti's voice:

"That's the problem."

"The void, which we had always thought was incommunicable and irrational, had no devils polluted in this betrayal and raid."
