For any religion, heretics are more disgusting than opponents. From the perspective of traditionalists, their interpretation of doctrines and the discovery of new things will cause the religion to lose its "purity" and plunge believers into disagreements.
This is just like the most terrifying terminal disease is cancer, but the mutation of normal cells has terrible diffusibility. When the degree of internal mutation reaches a certain level, at least the person cannot survive, and even if it can be saved, the cut part will also
Let his vitality be severely damaged.
In this world with the true God, heretics in the church will interpret and annotate the teachings of the true God, and even cause changes in the priesthood and beliefs. Some changes are within the scope of the true God's permission, and even the extension of the priesthood by the true God himself.
Exploration and reinterpretation can also cause major or minor divisions within the church.
Some will directly touch the bottom line, make the true God angry, and directly impose divine punishment.
While in Sulfur Mountain City, a villain conducted an experiment. He successfully brainwashed a demon and made it practice according to the regular procedures of a paladin because he was a paladin who believed in the Holy Light. It actually summoned a demon.
Holy light.
Although it was turned into ashes by the holy light burning from the inside out at the next moment, this phenomenon alone can make the most devout believers throw the teachings of the God of Holy Light into the trash.
"Is the Holy Light a gift from the God of Holy Light? Even the sworn enemy of the devil has given Holy Light. The God of Holy Light is either a fool or a blind man. Maybe other gods are the same..."
Gods do not make mistakes, because making mistakes will show that there is no essential difference between them and mortals. Gods are lofty, and high-minded mortals can only understand the divine will from a few words of oracles. That is because as long as they get closer
.If you see it clearly, you will naturally lose your sense of awe, and then the so-called pure faith cannot exist.
Most people in this world still cannot simply believe in a certain concept or belief like Roland. Their belief always revolves around a certain personal god. They are obviously mortals who will definitely make mistakes. But they hope that the god will not
You will make mistakes but you will always be right. Only then will you be worthy of everything they entrust you.
"While entrusting everything to an existence that I don't even see clearly, and at the same time pretending to be sacred while being a mortal, which one is more ridiculous?"
This was Roland's taunt at the time.
As for the information about the true God, only a handful of powerful people have it. At the level of ordinary people, what they know is always what the priests say.
"The true gods are wise and great. They watch the mortal world from high in the sky and protect the mortals..."
The "Shame of Thoros" that occurred in the north only proved that there is no essential difference between order and chaos. It is precisely this opposition that leads to the never-ending jihad and shakes the foundation of the clergy's faith. If even the "true god"
"They can be fooled easily, and they may not be smarter than that idiot next door to you" is known to the world. The foundation of mortals' beliefs will also be shaken.
It is foreseeable that if this information is also thrown into the sun, it will cause devastating results. In the worst case, you may even see meteor showers (the fall of the Kingdom of God) every now and then.
The reason why Roland has not yet thrown this big weapon into the sun is because he is not sure how much impact the counterattack after the crisis of faith will have. If more than 50% of humanity loses their faith in order,
, a large number of gods fell like dumplings, so there seems to be no need to fight the holy war.
But when one of his paladin fell into a crisis of faith, after much consideration, Roland still handed over the relevant information to her. He hoped that she could get rid of her over-reliance on the personal god and that she could create her own path.
As a gift, there are also some personal insights of Roland on the law and the mysteries of the true God.
There is a famous saying, "I only told one person, but it spread to hundreds of people, and it became a secret known to the whole country." Well, it should be "If you tell the secret to anyone, then it will be a secret."
The secret is destined to be a secret no longer.”
In this world, knowledge represents power, but it does not only refer to mages. After suffering a serious crisis of faith, she had doubts about her past life and future path. Diana's soul seal was shattered, and directly
Fallen legend.
But the most important thing was what someone said casually to her.
"Actually, I am the most pious. At least I never expect God to do anything for me. What I believe in is not even the true God himself. I just recognize the concept of the law itself and try to use the law to improve our world.
"
Every night, these short words rang repeatedly in her mind, beating her past life like a bell. With the help of these information and her "sister", she reflected on her past life,
In summary, finally, I made up my mind.
"... I was disappointed with the dark elf society where blood relatives killed each other, which made me turn my back on Rose and choose the path of salvation by the Holy Light. I hope that the Holy Light can save me and my tribe and let us walk under the sun."
"...When I discovered that the way of the Holy Light was only 'purification', and saw that the law allowed all races in Sulfur Mountain City to live in harmony, I once again gave up the pursuit of the Holy Light from the bottom of my heart, and longed for the new order of the law.
The power brings us under the sun."
"...When my faith was shaken, even in order to seek peace of faith and return to the surface, I studied the teachings of the Moonlight Goddess again. Although I brought myself to the sun this time, I felt even more confused inside.
"
The ever-changing power of order flashed on the silver holy sword, and the fragmentation of the soul seal also allowed her to get rid of the limitations of the past. Her pure and simple heart allowed her to resonate with these powers of order.
Perhaps, in a sense, this "subordinate" who is always watching from the sidelines is the true disciple who has inherited Roland's exploration and philosophy of the mysteries of the world.
Being able to become a future epic hero and commander of the dark elves already proves his extraordinary qualifications, and after Roland removed the veil from the real world, his achievements far exceeded his "historical" achievements.
"Oh, you are right. Every time I believe in a certain god, I have a utilitarian heart to realize my desires. It has nothing to do with piety. Instead, I give my own expectations and goals to others. This is a kind of escape.
."
In confusion, Diana inexplicably remembered the man's past words.
"...It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Gods cannot even deal with your own troubles. Instead of worshiping gods and Buddhas, it is better to worship yourself. The current world is not good at the moment, and it is very difficult to change even a little bit, but there are some things. You
If you don’t do it, there is definitely no hope. But if you do it, there is at least a glimmer of possibility.”
That person said so and did so.
The underground world is the most chaotic place in the entire Ashe world, but he has opened up a paradise-like sulfur mountain city there. In a barbaric society where jungle rules prevailed based on the law of the jungle, he used the rules of law to bring all races into a realm of equality.
The dark elves have always been regarded as an inherently evil race. Even if they have become paladins, they are still questioned. However, that person did not hesitate to accept the desperate dark elves and gave them the important task of protecting the city and citizens.
, this is the first time that the dark-skinned elves have felt trust.
This is a wonderful place and an even more wonderful owner. He develops engineering technology that is regarded as a plaything, and allows a wonderful religious view of many true gods in one place. He innovates new laws based on the equality of all living beings. His behavior has always been arrogant and domineering.
, even contrary to tradition. In the eyes of ordinary people, this may seem crazy, and perhaps many of his actions are simply incomprehensible, but in Diana's eyes, there is a clear connection - he is trying to make the world a better place.
Even better, he is trying to change, he is not willing to accept the status quo!
"If you think this world is not good enough? Why don't you change it? What's the use of counting on the gods. They are just a group of clay bodhisattvas who cannot save themselves, just a group of poor people tied to the throne of God."
Gods are supreme. Mortals are just ants in the eyes of the true God? In that person's eyes, the true God is no nobler than mortals. As time goes by, he replaces words with actions.
Rose, who had been weighing on the heads of the dark elves for thousands of years, fell. Even the supreme God of Holy Light was exposed for his true hypocrisy on that day. If he hadn't been prepared...or should I say, the Holy Light.
The god has long had doubts, and I am afraid that he must be among the holy knights who lost their holy companion that day.
"I was given up by the Holy Light? No, I gave up on the Holy Light, I..."
The golden brilliance on the soul emblem is no longer there, the past beliefs have been shattered, and the soul emblem that was still shining yesterday has become dilapidated.
At this moment, Diana thought of the doomsday truth revealed to her by that person on the airship, and the almost impossible desire to save the world.
"...The world is so difficult that patience and begging are meaningless. Doing it when you know you can't do it is stupid? Is it noble? Is it possible? No..."
Her memory has returned to the past of a hundred years of exploration. She once cursed in despair, hoping that the world where all life would be miserable would end, but now looking back, she was too selfish.
It sounds happy to be settled, but isn't it too cruel to those newborns who have just come into the world and have not experienced happiness? Isn't it hard for the living beings who are still struggling? Sacrifice everything in order to change everything.
Are the chances of that person too cruel?
Now that the determination has been made, the next moment, the old soul seal has turned into fragments, but the silver brilliance shines from it. A new soul path has been formed, and the new soul seal is a fist holding a sword.
"...We just want to live and let mortals live with more dignity and security. Is this wrong?"
The silver brilliance flashed. After falling below the legend, Diana entered the legend again and stepped directly into the holy steps. When she understood her own path, all the accumulation in the past turned into real power.
The understanding of gods and divine power, the holy light, the power of the moon, the power of law, and the dark elves' natural resistance to demons are all mixed together, but the most important thing is her own belief, which makes the turbid body
The composite divine power undergoes an inexplicable change. When all the colors become turbid, what is left in the end is as dark as night.
"We want to live and make the world a better place, even if what hinders us is the invincible gods. Wake up, my soul emblem...'Anti-God Fool!'"
Diana was actually smarter than outsiders knew. From what Roland revealed to her, she vaguely realized that Roland had always regarded the true God as his imaginary enemy. When she understood the truth about the Eternal Holy War, she even pointed her finger at the High Ones.
, but the two major gods are constantly causing a new round of desperate situations.
Who doesn’t know that it’s stupid to be an enemy of God? Who doesn’t know that the road to salvation is impossible? But since mortals also have the right to live, some things have to be done. Since smart people don’t want to do it,
Let us stupid people do stupid things.
"A fool? It really suits me."
Inexplicably thinking of the man who always called her Dasha Niu, Diana laughed at herself, but strengthened her determination. As long as she could achieve her goal, it didn't matter if the world didn't understand her or was laughed at as a fool...
At least, the person who has also chosen the path of a fool and a fanatic will definitely understand his choice. This path may be difficult, but it is not without comrades.
And this is indeed the case. Not long after, the knights who also chose this thorny road also put on black armor and wore the "Blade of Resistance" medal. How many people know that as the founder of
"Da Sha Niu"'s determination at that moment, as well as the anti-paladin's real name, which is homophonic to anti-paladin - anti-god knight!
They are mortal knights. They oppose the interference of superior beings in the world. They believe that the fate of mortals should be determined by themselves. They believe that gods and demons should stay in their own territory. They dare to wave their swords at anyone who crosses the boundary.
And at that moment, on the water battlefield of Oran, when the first anti-paladin in history inserted the holy sword into the water, even the true gods would be shocked.
"I hope that this world belongs to mortals."
As the simple words fell, nothing seemed to happen, but what spread was Diana's mental world - the mortal world.
The area continued to expand, but for the moment it was swept, nothing seemed to happen. But the next moment, the rain clouds on the zenith suddenly disappeared, and the entire water area suddenly disappeared.
In this "mortal world", the privileges of demons, angels, devils and even gods who are not on this plane will disappear. The signature abilities of anti-paladins are various anti-magic and anti-divine powers. They are the guardians of this plane.
, is the mortal enemy of the alien plane.
If the will of the plane really exists, perhaps this is the miracle he created in order to save himself. After all, only epic knights who have experienced many tests and dark elves who have the talent to resist magic can survive countless evil deeds.
By mistake, he merged everything he had and created this unprecedented path.
As for the battlefield in front of us, after the Divine Power Forbidden Curse Ratio was eliminated, there was no longer any suspense in the entire battlefield. The human side, which had the advantage of the right people, timing, and people, once again gained the geographical advantage, and the Hai Clan's front completely collapsed and was shrouded in dark clouds.
Kagesi, who had been away for a year and a half, saw the first ray of sunshine again. (To be continued)
ps: So what, it’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket.
