Chapter 182 God’s Punishment is Coming

A ridiculous "trial" started and ended ridiculously, but the impact it caused was not limited to this.

Mephisto ascended in the flames, and almost on the same day, all the temples dedicated to the goddess of law collapsed in the entire bronze human range. When the humans who witnessed the trial returned to their original residence, everything about this day spread.

A defense of whether people should believe in God, but in the end it seemed to be approved by God, which was simply unbelievable. But as more and more people came forward to describe what they saw and heard that day, people seemed to have to believe it.

After all, the ascension may be fake, but the collapsed temple is real.

However, just when all this had just fermented and was only limited to the surroundings of Giant Wood Town, a car frame, which was not much in this era, quickly drove into the residential area that had just been named "Aurora City".

Day and night traveled, hurrying and hurrying, the journey that originally took seven days only took three days, and Devers was extremely tired at this moment. But he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and quickly walked towards his friend's residence.

Just on the way, he had heard about the collapse of the Temple of Law. He didn't know how far the matter had developed and how the Creator would react to it.

Now, Devers just wanted to discuss with Orson how to deal with this matter before the matter was spread here.

Or to be more precise, if the gods really want to punish the mortals who deceived the gods, they must think of some ways to get rid of them first.

"Get out of the way!"

Rudely pushing away the pedestrians blocking the road, Devers opened the door of Orson's residence. To his surprise, there was another person there.

That was Momon, the high priest who was responsible for the main sacrifice to the God King together with Orson. It was normal for the other party to appear here, but at the moment, Devers didn't know whether he should let the other party know about this.

"Devers? Aren't you in Giant Wood Town?"

Looking at the old friend who pushed the door in, Orson's no longer young face showed a trace of doubt.

".We are in big trouble."

Take a deep breath, look at Momon who is also looking at him, hesitate for a moment, and then Devers speaks directly.

Everyone is a priest, and their interests should be the same on this point.

"You should have known about the collapse of the Temple of Law."

"Do you know the reason?!"

Osen asked hurriedly with a change of expression. He has been worried about this matter these days, and he and Momon gathered here for this. However, looking at his old friend who seemed to know something at this time, an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"What you mean is-"

"We are in big trouble."

Repeated again, Devers pulled himself together and talked about the cause and effect of this matter.

······

"So what you mean is that the collapse of the Temple of Law is likely due to the name of the goddess you borrowed, which affected the process of trial. And the 'unbeliever' who was judged by you was promoted to a holy spirit in the end?"

Standing up, Momon felt a little bit unbelievable. As one of the people closest to the Creator, he knew this very well. The gods wanted humans to believe in them and bestowed various gifts on them. But now, someone told him that a non-believer was rewarded by the gods?

"It sounds incredible, but it seems understandable if you think about it. Have you ever thought that maybe the Goddess of Law and the God King are not gods from the same camp?"

"The Creator once said that at the turn of the era, when the two God Kings fought, the gods took sides, but it seemed that there was no Goddess of Law on the side of the God King."

Also a little surprised, but then he suppressed his patience. Orson thought for a while and slowly made a guess.

Because of the collapse of the temple, Prometheus let humans understand the reason themselves, and then set off for Olympus. He actually didn't think that this change was related to the bronze humans. The foresight thought that this was probably because the goddess of justice accidentally discovered their little tricks and then expressed her indignation.

He was going to visit this lady. After all, as far as it can be seen, the goddess didn't seem to have told the God King about all this, so there was still a chance to save everything.

"Don't worry, Devers, the Creator will take care of this matter. He has already gone to Olympus, and we are fine now, right?"

"Go back and rest first, it will be fine."

Finally, Orson said this.

He hesitated a little, but Devers really didn't know what he could do. Seeing Orson's confidence, he barely suppressed his uneasiness and prepared to have a good rest.

However, what he didn't know was that when he saw Devers's back leaving, Orson's face suddenly sank.

He was not so naive. No matter how he looked at it, what the other party said seemed to foreshadow some kind of turmoil that was about to happen, which came from the gods. Even if it was temporarily stopped, it would only delay the time of occurrence.

Thinking of this, Orson couldn't help but secretly curse Devers' stupidity. How could such a thing as faith be discussed?

Sacred things should only be on the altar, not in people's hands.

".Momon, what do you think of this matter?"

After a long silence, Orson spoke to break the silence. After so many years together, he knew that the other party was definitely not a guy like Devers.

"What else can I think? Like you said, the Creator will solve the problem."

Said calmly, Momon didn't know what he was thinking.

"."

"Yes, no matter what happens, the Creator will solve it all."

The tone was a little emotional, and it sounded like a sigh. Orson's right hand unconsciously brushed the corner of his eye, where there were already some wrinkles.

More than 20 years ago, he was so confident that death was nothing and aging could be faced calmly. But when his body was no longer strong, his thinking began to slow down, and his skin lost its luster, he no longer thought so.

He wanted to restore his youth and stay like this forever. He prayed to the Creator for this, but to his disappointment, Prometheus rejected him this time.

After all, Orson was indeed his favorite student, but so were the other priests? If everyone came to him to ask for immortality, he would not be able to do it. But if he only gave a few exceptions, he would feel sorry for the rest.

Therefore, the Forerunner tried his best to meet every reasonable demand of people, except for eternal life.

"Then let's wait, the Creator will definitely solve everything. I'm a little tired, Momon."

"Then I won't bother you any more."

Nodding to show understanding, Momon walked out of the door with an unchanged expression.

He looked at the sky, and unfortunately, he couldn't see the setting sun or the rising moon.

Because on this day, the Aurora Plain was covered with clouds, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.

".What would you do?"

Having known each other for many years, Momon knew Orson better than anyone else. He did believe in the Creator, but he believed in himself more, not to mention that Prometheus had said more than once that he was not powerful among the gods.

Even if the matter of the Goddess of Law was covered up, could human beings' deception of God really continue? Even if they found a way to curb the spread of the unbelievers' words, everything would happen the first time and the second time.

"I originally thought that our generation might not live to see the day when God's punishment comes. No, others may not live to see it, but I don't want to die yet."

"Alas, Creator, I am willing to give you everything, everything I have, but the life you gave me is an exception. But you are an immortal god, and I don't think you can understand our thoughts."

Sighing, no one knows how shocked he was when he heard the name "Mephisto" from Devers. The memory that had been forgotten for decades resurfaced in his mind again.

What's different from before is that, like Orson, he is no longer young.

I'd like to state in advance that the "fire" taken away by the God King is actually symbolic in this article, not just referring to flames. There are also previous questions about faith. The bronze human priests are not saints, and the devil is not Socrates. The gods in the eyes of priests and ordinary people are also different. This is not a real debate, and I don't intend to write that the two sides have fierce words and win or lose. If I really want to write that kind of serious debate, I will definitely refer to the events in real history for modification. I have seen those things before. That's all.
