Chapter 330 You... what exactly are you?(1/2)
Strictly speaking, judging by human standards, few of the gods in Corell are truly competent and responsible.
Because today, they are already the masters of their respective fields. As long as they do not suffer catastrophe, most of them can live a very carefree life, or they can be said to have fallen beyond measure.
A person like Mystra who spends her days flirting with the voters can only be regarded as a small private and semi-public hobby.
If anyone has explored the messy relationship between the elves and the gods, they will definitely think that Mystra is a pure and kind girl...
During the Netherese period more than two thousand years ago, there were still a bunch of gods in Coriel at that time, and there were many gods with the same priesthood among different gods.
For example, for the priesthood of God of War, the God of War in the Netherese pantheon is named Garrigos, and the Talafric pantheon also has a God of War named Tempus.
They were not the only two gods of war, but they were the two most powerful at the time.
Although Garrigos was defeated in the end, Tempus did not choose to kill them all, but accepted him as a subordinate god, so this secret was more or less preserved.
In that crazy era, similar situations were happening in the heavenly realm and even in various planes, but other gods did not have such good luck as Garrigos.
Not every god has the generosity and foresight of Tempus.
Most of these losers were completely destroyed, leaving no traces, or even names, until all existence forgot them.
The disputes between the gods are far more cruel than mortals imagine.
The most famous among them is the ancient sun god Amaunator. Like the Netherese Empire, he once rose to the top of the sky and fell to the earth like a meteor. But at least, they both left a name for people to remember.
Most of his priesthood was unified by Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, but not long ago in 247 BC in the Valley, Tyr, a man full of justice, led two hundred divine envoys from a
The sudden eruption of the alien gate came out and put down the remnants of the ancient Jemdas pantheon.
From then on, he joined forces with the God of Suffering, Ilmat, and the God of Loyalty, Thom, to form the Three Gods of Justice, taking up the last part of Amaunata's priesthood that belonged to justice.
Therefore, today, Corell is left with only one new pantheon of gods after conquests and fusions with each other, and that is the metahuman pantheon.
In that catastrophe of the gods, only the elves, dwarves and the gods Mulhorad, who had relatively close kinship ties, were relatively intact.
This is also easy to understand. For example, if you kill an elf god, he is most likely a son of the elf god Corellon, the younger brother of the goddess of illusions Sehanni, and the cousin of the dark maiden Eilistraee.
Maybe he's secretly having an affair with Spider Queen Rose...
Then he was hunted by the entire elven pantheon...
Except for the top group of gods, not many beings know the real reason for this catastrophe.
Those who knew about it also kept silent about it, so in the main material world, various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.
Some people say that it was all due to Io's will. Io was dissatisfied with the state of the gods being scattered and doing their own thing, which could not maintain his authority, so he announced that there would be only one priest left, leaving the gods below to fight with each other.
But most of the mages sneered at this. If Io still cared about this kind of thing, he would not be the god above the gods who created the world by himself.
But no matter what, because the catastrophe of the gods basically coincided with the fall of Netheril, many scholars believe that Netheril was a victim of the disputes between the gods. After all, a country where the upper class does not worship gods, most of them
Most gods wouldn't like it.
The result was that the sun god Amaunata fell like a meteor. The first generation of magic goddess had to choose to embrace death in order to clean up the mess. The god of death, Yergo, was disheartened and divided his priesthood into three and left. Corel has since turned the page.
A new chapter.
The gods lost their competitors in the same field, and the comfort of nearly two thousand people made the gods even more depraved...
Therefore, an existence like the second-generation Magic Goddess who can occasionally respond to the prayers of voters and certain believers while enjoying herself can be considered relatively competent.
Of course, there are also people who 'slander' the existence of this goddess, who is either tall and handsome, or has a great job...
Therefore, if the gods in the entire heaven realm were to be ranked among the model workers, then the deceased Missriel, the first-generation magic goddess, would undoubtedly be the most serious and responsible one, and also a model who would do everything in her own right.
And her successor, Mystra, can barely be regarded as an average person. She has no enterprising spirit, but at least she can do something on a whim.
If Mystra is used as the benchmark for the average of the gods of order, then Heim, the god of protection, should be regarded as a more dedicated being.
It's just that compared to Heim, who silently performs the responsibility of guardianship, most of his light is lost to the more radical Lord of the Dawn, Lathander and Tyr, the God of Justice. This one was bitten off by the Chaos Demon Dog Kozef.
The light was taken away by the outsider who still has a hand running around various interfaces all year round.
The former has always been dedicated to the complete destruction of evil, but has kept a low profile since the Disaster of Dawn.
Although the latter stays in the pantheon all year round, his paladins are active in various planes all year round, on the front line against chaotic evil, and even descend on believers from time to time, knocking the opponent's head off.
In fact, Helm has also been committed to resisting various evils that threaten the world, which can be seen from the location of his temple.
The temples of Helm are all built as huge buildings that are conducive to defense. Most of them are defensive fortresses near dangerous and evil areas, forming a defensive front against powerful enemies.
Because the priests of the Vigilant are excellent guards, many large cities will have a temple or altar to Helm.
No matter where the temple is located, his followers are always vigilant and constantly monitoring their sanctuaries.
It is worth mentioning that the Temple of Helm is often guarded by beholders, which makes the Church of Bane and its beholder allies deeply angry.
The Temple of Helm is willing to protect all who seek asylum, but if the asylum seeker is accused of a crime, the priests will also demand that he submit to local law and justice-if it is indeed a just sentence.
Many are willing to take the risk and accept the terms of the Temple of the Vigilant, knowing that the followers of Helm will work hard to ensure that they receive justice.
In order to maintain this fragile justice, Heim would often read the prayers of believers in his heavenly temple to ensure that the temple upheld the terms of law and justice and would not become an accomplice of evil.
But today, Heim didn't have the energy to continue looking up these.
He who came to the main material world after being called for help by his believers actually ‘fell asleep’ just after descending to the lower world!
What's even more bizarre is that he doesn't even remember what he 'saw' with the help of the priest's eyes.
He only vaguely remembered that he had a nightmare.
He actually killed the powerful magical goddess Mystra...
This seemed incredible to him.
Compared to the big-hearted Mystra, Heim felt a little uneasy.
He really wanted to know what the evil thing he 'saw' was, and why it made him dream of such a 'real' scene.
It's a pity that after Mystra completely destroyed the troll, the only remaining clues were lost.
Distraught, he decided to go for a walk.
Unknowingly, he came to the temple of the gods.
There was an old friend of his, a fighting maniac with rich experience in fighting against all kinds of gods and evil creatures.
Maybe he will know something.
Stepping into this empty temple, you will see a simple stone platform at the end of the sacred and majestic temple.
On the stone platform, three ancient stone slabs are suspended.
That is the only proof that Io, the God of Gods, left in the world.
Tablet of Destiny.
It records the duties of all gods.
What amazes the gods is that every time a god dies or is replaced, the content on it will change accordingly.
It's as if the god above gods has been watching them silently in some higher plane and dimension...
However, such an important and sacred thing has only one guardian.
Heim silently glanced at the old one-armed warrior who was sitting in the corner of the temple as if he was asleep - Tyr.
You will know that this fighting maniac has probably responded to the call of believers again and descended to a certain plane to shout, "This evil is worth fighting."
Such neglect of duty would have aroused the dissatisfaction of other gods if it had not been made clear on the Tablet of Destiny that Tyr had the duty of guarding the Tablet.
In fact, Heim has always believed that there is no one more suitable to take on this responsibility than him, the god of protection, but correspondingly, he is also glad that he was not chosen by 'fate'.
Because for the gods, it is an honor to let them "look at their destiny", but if they have to protect their "destiny" all the time, it will be a kind of shackles and torture for the gods with endless lifespan.
In fact, Tyr was very serious and responsible when he took up his new role as the God of Justice and inherited some of the responsibilities of the Sun God Amaunata.
But now, one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven years have passed...
If it were any other mortal, he would probably have gone crazy at this moment.
This is why Heim understands Tyr.
Heim shook his head, and was about to leave when he would visit him again next time, when a rich but slightly tired voice came from behind him:
"Why did you come and leave again? Old friend?"
"Isn't it because you are fighting evil again?"
Heim smiled, took out a jug of wine and sat down next to Tire.
Tier picked up the jug and poured it down, and said sadly:
"Isn't this boring? I stare at these three stones every day and can't go anywhere. Unlike you, you can go to Mystra's heaven party or Shuni's open-air feast when you have nothing to do. How is it like me?
..."
"Ahem! Stop, stop, stop! I came to you for business."
Haim suddenly became embarrassed and quickly stopped the old pervert from complaining.
As Heim spoke, Tire's expression also became solemn:
"Dream that you killed Mystra? How is it possible? She is a rare and powerful god.
To be continued...
