"I, the Sleepless One, the discoverer and user of the power of law, declare to the world in this holy city of Brimstone Mountain where the power of law originated, that I will hold the throne high and fulfill the duties of the true God of law!"
The declaration of the true God rang in the ears of all living beings. Whether they were travelers on a long journey, businessmen busy selling goods, nobles talking loudly at a cocktail party, or even soldiers from both sides in the war, they all stopped everything in their hands.
Listen to the oath of the true God.
"I swear to treat all lives fairly. The power of the law of justice will protect all innocent people, punish all crimes, and enforce the rules of the law for the most just person. I promise to imitate the God of Holy Light, give up myself, and incarnate the law.
The rules of the law, from now on, I am the law, and the law is me. Faith, to obtain the power of the law, you don’t need to recite my god’s name, you only need to believe in it and implement the rules of the law.”
After completing this series of troublesome things such as fighting for believers, grabbing territory, expanding faith, and improving godhood, hundreds of years are not a long time. I don’t have time to slowly waste time with other gods. What the legal camp needs is a divine server.
,So, I will become a server.
And such a selfless true god will not be hostile to other gods of order. In addition, after incarnating a pure concept, his growth rate increases dramatically. As long as the belief in law spreads, he will soon become a powerful god.
Even if a brainless divine power server becomes powerful, it will not think about annexing other priests. In any case, it is a good thing for the order camp. In this way, I don’t have to worry about any gods taking the initiative to launch the God War Year to obliterate this.
The reborn god.
Of course, it is impossible for me to obediently go to heaven and become a divine server.
So, are there any other ways to fail my ascension to God? Will my vow to become a god be invalidated?
Historically, there is no such thing, but theoretically, it does exist, and that is death.
When people die and their souls enter reincarnation, how can they become gods?
Therefore, I did not hesitate to burn my soul and actively seek death!
Of course, complete failure is impossible. The thinking ability required by the divine server is not high anyway. Splitting some soul fragments is enough. And I have already prepared a dozen horcruxes similar to phylacteries to build new ones.
Gods, including two sub-artifacts!
[Sub-Artifact: The Majesty of Justice (Bound)]
[Defense: 10 points (steel plate armor only has 5 points of defense, and the defense of cloth armor robes at this level is outrageous.]
[Special Effect One: Sinner's Self-Trial: Make the guilty feel guilty and guilty, and as time goes by, they will become more and more frightened and helpless. The more serious the crime and the more guilt, the better the effect. The innocent person ignores this effect.
】
[Special Effect 2: The Judge's Iron Mask: The wearer's charm is constant at 20, and the effect against charm, detection, and illusion-like spells is +20.]
[The third special effect is the Horcrux. The technology from another world contains the soul fragments of the Sleepless Man. 】
[Special Effect Four Set Attributes: When equipped with the sub-artifact: Sleepless Man's Gaze at the same time, the wearer will be recognized by the rules of order as the Sleepless Man himself who discovers the power of law, and will receive the blessing of the source of the state law, the law
The power is increased by 30%, and the difficulty of spell saving throws is increased by 50%]
[Sub-artifact: Sleepless Man’s Gaze (Bound)]
[Defense: 0 points]
[Special Effect One: True Sight: No illusion or lie can deceive the sleepless person, and the wearer will ignore all illusions. 】
[Special Effect 2: Voice of Justice: The words spoken by the wearer cannot be identified by any spell record, even if they are definitely the truth, +20 against deception, intimidation, etc.]
[The third special effect is the Horcrux. The technology from another world contains the soul fragments of the Sleepless Man. 】
[Special Effect Four Suit Attribute Source of Law: When equipped with the sub-artifact: Majesty of Justice at the same time, the wearer will be recognized by the rules of order as the sleepless man himself as the discoverer of the power of law, and receive the blessing of the source of law
, the power of law increases by 30%, and the difficulty of spell saving throws increases by 50%]
[The weight of the common artifact cursed gavel: the wearer must have the identity of a judge and law enforcer, and perform his duties fairly. Once he bends the law for personal reasons and speaks lies, the robe will turn into an eternal fire and destroy the wearer.
soul and body.]
[Please use the power in your hands with caution. What is determined by the fall of the gavel is not only the rise and fall of an individual, but also the majesty of justice and justice - the sleepless man of the Supreme Court.]
This is my robe and mask as the Sleepless One, and it is a sub-artifact recognized by the Source of Order. What I want to use is their special effect four: Source of Law. As long as the Light Pillar of Order loses my goal, then
, they who possess my soul fragments will be enough to become a qualified divine power server. At this time, they are being assembled together, like a dummy, and he who has obtained special effects four is also a sleepless person recognized by the rules of order!
But as expected, even without personality, the source of order is still difficult to deceive.
The light beam of order that guided the true god to the sky ignored the dummy, but did not surround me. Instead, Roland's holy sword was bound in it. After all, what is needed to become a god is only the soul, but the lich's soul is in his phylactery.
Among them, my life box is this holy sword.
And in the endless silver light, because the soul fire that was burning the soul was extinguished, it burned blazingly again, and the broken sword actually began to reshape!
There is only one possibility. The thing that worries me the most has happened. The power of order has begun to repair my broken life box! In the past, I would have jumped for joy, which meant that I could upgrade and grow again, but at this time, it was me.
The reminder of death!
"I don't want to be forced to ascend to heaven! Eliza, come as planned!"
"But……"
"There is nothing left to do. I should have been judged! Sinners will eventually be judged."
Yes, sinners will eventually be judged, regardless of identity or reason, just because of the crime itself.
[No matter what I do in the future, I will always carry the sins of the past with me. The souls who died because of me are enough to fill the entire River Styx. No matter how many people I save or how many good things I do, I am still a sinner.
If I can’t deceive my heart, how can I make the system admit that I have become a good person?
"On the stele of the code in front of the Supreme Court is the motto written by me - only a fair trial and the sanction of the code can purify crimes. No one can be an exception. (Chapter 22)]
Sinners will eventually wait for judgment. This is my personal belief in the law. With my hands stained with blood, I am not qualified to be the God of the law. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that I avoid the option of becoming a god in person. Perhaps, it is because I think that I
The subconscious desire to be judged and redeemed gave the original artifact its final special effect.
[Original Code Effectiveness 4: Sinners will eventually be judged (active): Conduct a final judgment on a target, cleanse him of all sins, and give him a final judgment. Prerequisite for use: The user accepts the judgement. 】
Seeing the increasingly powerful silver light of order, she finally forced Eliza to grit her teeth and raise the code.
"Sinners will be judged! Sinner Roland! Do you accept the judgment?!"
Looking at the blood stains on Eliza's red lips from being bitten by silver teeth, I knew that I was too cruel, actually forcing Eliza to execute the person she liked...but the words of apology rolled around in my mouth.
, but couldn't say it out loud. In the end, it just turned into a helpless sigh.
"Hey... I'm guilty and I'll stand trial."
The light of Symmetra from the same source flourished, and my soul was taken to a starry sky law court. The ancient heroes who were part-time jurors and audience were already seated, but Eliza herself was sitting on the judge's bench, with the code in mid-air.
Floating, countless memory scenes are staged in the court, which are the past that I remember or do not remember. At this time, they are all evidence of my crime.
In one of the pictures, my Eternal Night Army is causing wanton killings. Wherever the army of the dead goes, towns are turned into ruins, and the dead become new soldiers. The blood of the living turns into an endless sea of blood. The sky is full of blood.
The resentment continued to the Pillar of Heaven, and all the gods were angry about it.
[Sinner Roland, you will be sentenced to death for war crimes!] When the trial began, the holder was controlled by the Code of Absolute Justice. Even though her face was full of intolerance, Eliza still read out the trial word for word.
Yes, the death penalty, there is no doubt about the death penalty. When it comes to causing tragedies and wars, Thao, who just died on the battlefield, is not even worthy to carry my shoes. I deserve to be executed for war crimes.
"Yes, I plead guilty."
Time and space shifted, and there was a black guillotine, and my soul and body were clamped on it at the same time. Then, the blood-stained guillotine fell, and after a click, the head was separated.
"Ahhhhh!" Even if he had been prepared, the pain and emptiness of death were still unbearable. The fallen head could no longer make a sound, but the soul was still screaming.
It hurts, it hurts like hell, life is passing by crazily, the head is gone, and the biological instinct makes me cry out.
In the final wail, the soul and body began to dissipate at the same time. This was the real death. I, who never believed in the true God of Order, would enter reincarnation and fall into the River Styx!
But suddenly the silver light fell, and in an instant, the dissipated soul became clear again. I was forcibly resurrected by the source of order!
I raised my head and glanced at the light beam of order that had become slightly thinner, and gritted my teeth.
"Continue the trial! It works! We fought it."
Under the man's ruthless command, tears fell silently from the girl's face, but in the end, the low sobs that escaped her mouth turned into a majestic and cold judgment under the effect of the artifact.
[Sinner Roland, you will be sentenced to death for fraud! 】
Every screen in the void is filled with my true lies. The largest screen shows me maliciously making the Scepter of Eternal Night and handing it over to the auction house.
Yes, malicious deception is also a serious crime, and the death penalty is absolutely appropriate!
In the void, I was pushed onto the gallows again. Then, the platform under my feet disappeared, and underneath, there was endless void!
The neck was tied tightly, and the pain in the throat was severe. The suffocation of the soul was more painful than the body. I wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound. Finally, I kicked my feet and fell into silence.
But when the soul began to dissipate, and then a ray of silver light fell, I recovered again...
"continue!!"
[Sinner Roland, you will be sentenced to death for murder! 】
This time, it was poisoning, endless pain complained in the blood vessels, swelling, stinging, cold, burning, and in the end, only a body without feeling was left.
The silver light falls...
"Keep going!! It's already thinned out a lot."
Eliza was already in tears, but at this time, she could no longer stop. Once the trial begins, the sinners who committed heinous crimes will not stop until all their crimes are tried. And I have committed crimes over the past three hundred years.
For such crimes, three or four death sentences are not enough!
[Sinner Roland, you will be convicted of crimes against intelligent life (crimes against humanity)...]
This time, it's the Soul Electric Chair.
The silver light falls...
【Arson】
This time, it was the burning rack.
The silver light falls...
【Poisoning】
This time, it was drowning.
The silver light falls...
One crime after another was placed on the judgment seat. I died and lived again, lived and died again, and my soul was broken and then reunited. Even I, at this time, wished I could be put to death.
Finally, after dying countless times, I began to give up hope as I became numb, and the falling light of Symme finally had a brief gap!
"Quick, quick, which one to use!!"
What I pointed to was the big knife leaning against the judgment seat, the dragon-slaying knife!
Eliza let go of the code, pulled up the thick sword, and slashed at Roland's holy sword.
[Special effects are indestructible: 100% direct cutting of weapons below the elite level, 50% chance of cutting off elite level weapons, 30% chance of directly cutting off epic level weapons. 1% chance of cutting off weapons below the artifact level]
This is the most useful attribute of the Dragon-Slaying Magic Weapon from Another World. Although Roland's Holy Sword is indeed a rare magic weapon, comparable to a sub-artifact, it is not a divine weapon after all. There is at least a 1% chance of being cut off directly, and the Lich
Once his life box is broken and there is no time to repair it, he will naturally die and cannot die again!
Therefore, my first reaction when I saw this magic weapon was to include it in my backup plan.
"Clang clang clang!"
That was the sound of blades intersecting, and it was my urging voice, but I sincerely hoped it would come faster, because in the sky, the light pillars of order gathered again!
"Get out of the way! This Symmetra is fatal to you with demon blood!!"
But Eliza didn't hear it and just accelerated the speed of slashing!
But the next moment, without any warning, the silver light pillar suddenly fell!
And when the light beam fell, I was already in despair. It didn't matter to me. At worst, I would think of a way. At worst, I would really go up and become a divine server, but Eliza...
"don't want!!"
I have never regretted so much. I regret making such a decision! I regret never seeing this girl again! I regret ignoring Eliza’s hints. I regret not saying some words!
"Thunder's Wrath!!"
The violent thunderstorm suddenly hit the light pillar in the sky and collided with it, but soon the light pillar shattered the thunder and continued to fall!
But a figure full of lightning was already blocking the light beam!
"Adam!" Yes, he had just come off the operating table and was still very weak, but at this time, he was standing on the battlefield again.
He didn't need to ask why he wanted to fight against the source of order, which was called the Supreme Good. As long as his companions were roaring and wailing, he risked his life without hesitation!
"Thunder and lightning, answer my call!!"
Endless thunderstorms gathered under the command of the master, and the angry swordsman swung his sword to the sky. This time, when the smoke dissipated, the thunderstorm and the light of Symme died together.
The next moment, as if being angered, a larger light of order fell directly. If it was hit, even Adam, who was of Titan blood at this time, would be killed on the spot.
But after taking a look below, he showed no intention of evading, and instead raised his sword and stepped forward!
"Time Corridor!!"
Fortunately, even a voice reminded me that with the full strength of the demigod sage, the time around Symmetra was abruptly slowed down!
"You idiot! You don't think death is enough!"
Well, facing the roar and questioning of the blue figure, Adam could only smile stupidly.
Even with the combined efforts of two powerful demigods, the magic that slows down time and the continuous lightning strikes can still only slow down the falling time of Symmetra!
But with this buffer, there is a turning point!
Finally, the 1% special effect was triggered!
"Crack." After a crisp sound, Roland's holy sword fell into pieces, and the gray souls scattered from it.
"alright!!"
My voice reached the top, Adam stepped aside, and Margaret, who was already sweating from the struggle, quickly canceled the magic, and Symmetra fell.
At this time, the torn phylactery could no longer attract its attention, and it directly hit the dummy next to it!
At this time, I took the time to activate the soul fragment of the sub-artifact, making it more like a complete person.
Then, with the continuous supply of the Light of Symmetry, the missing soul was completed, and the dummy gradually became complete and began to transform from a human to a true god!
But I was already lying on the ground peacefully, waiting for the call of death, but at the last moment, I saw Eliza's eyes were red, with a strange smile on her pretty face, and she was walking towards me with a big knife.
[Special effects: Madness: 1% chance of falling into a violent state of disowning relatives. At this time, priority will be given to targeting and killing relatives. 】
Well, I should have known a long time ago. According to my luck, since the 1% special effect of cutting off the holy sword is triggered, the 1% chance of disowning the special effect must also be triggered.
Looking at the girl who raised the big knife and struck her down, I couldn't move at all and could only smile helplessly.
"Should I be happy that she really regards me as a relative? No! Such a death is too ugly. It's like a philandering husband being quartered with a hatchet by his first wife! This is not a way to die!!"
Unfortunately, the next second, darkness fell in front of me. I really don’t know whether he was really cut into pieces in the end, or whether he was stopped by Adam and the others.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Two months later, in the Flame Abyss of the Lower Plane, on the previously silent River Styx, there was a noisy soul that was completely different from other dead souls.
"I love bathing. My skin is good. I put on a shower cap and jumped around. The piranha wants to escape. I wash myself up and down... Something seems wrong. What's the next sentence... I can't remember.
.Ah, boss, if you don’t come, I will even forget my own name!”
He looks like a teenager, and the songs he sings are indeed children's songs from another world, but there is always something incongruous about them.
"..... One hundred and eighty-four thousand six hundred and twenty-one, one hundred and eighty-four thousand six hundred and twenty-two..."
Fortunately, when he started counting from one to two hundred thousand out of boredom, a black boat appeared on the Styx River, which should not have any boats.
The boatman, however, is a handsome young man dressed in black. He is neither tall nor short, and has no special features. The black robe fits him particularly well, just like the silent night.
But I was so happy that I had been floating for so long! Even the soul of the time traveler couldn't hold on anymore.
"Hey, hey, this way!!"
Hearing the cry, the boat turned around, and soon I was fished out by the boatman.
"Boss Aiye, if you don't come back, I will really think you have regretted it."
Yes, the ordinary young man in front of me is the oldest god, the supreme king of the first generation of humans, the God of Death, Ayer.
"Haha, you have done so well, how could I go back on my word? Your clone, the God of Law, Sleepless Man, is now the hottest topic among the gods. In order to completely block all detection spells, even I spent a lot of time.
It took a lot of effort, but it was obviously worth it.”
Praise from Death God Aiye is extremely rare. He is notorious for not having a good look towards those "supreme" true gods.
"Then, let's proceed as planned."
"Of course, I have already spoken. Anyone who dares to touch the Sleepless Man will be at war with me. You can rest assured about that clone. Next, you should expand your belief in the law and increase the power of the God of Law.
"
"Well, yes, this is the second part of the plan. Let the law replace the Holy Light as the first belief of intelligent life. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. I also have a plan in this regard."
The black-clothed Death God smiled. For the first time, he thought that it was a great blessing to let this eloquent boy go.
"Okay, but in order to transform the God of Law into the God of Judgment or even the God of Hades and establish your own divine system, you still need to defeat at least four or five powerful gods and seize their godhood and priesthood. This way
It’s not easy to leave.”
Yes, the God of Law is just that, to reverse all this, just the God of Law is completely not enough.
In the otherworldly East, when it comes to judges, the first reaction of the old people is often not the majestic judge, but the ancient mythical King Yama and the judge of the underworld. In Egypt, Japan and other countries, the kind of judgment of souls after death,
There are also many myths about people being dealt with according to their good and evil.
This is not only people's expectation that good will be rewarded with good, but evil will be punished with evil. It is also a warning in ancient times to intimidate evil people not to commit crimes. In the past when people believed in the existence of gods, it did serve as a warning. The old people told their descendants not to commit crimes.
Crime and evil, otherwise, you will go to hell.
There are true gods in this world, but there is no so-called God of Hades. The only relevant god of death, Ayer, only manages the reincarnation system itself.
In order to stop the eternal war, we must stop the reincarnation system that is constantly transfusing blood to both sides, and stop the pace of the two goddesses' recovery. It is meaningless to just say that we are opposed. Since we feel that the reincarnation system is wrong, we must propose to replace him.
The new reincarnation system.
Then, I thought of Hades and Hell.
If the soul no longer decides to enter the River Styx or the Pillar of Heaven because of its previous beliefs, but is instead handed over to a neutral pantheon for trial, allowing the innocent to undergo reincarnation and the guilty to serve their sentences in Hades, perhaps the living will also suffer
With warning and restraint, the world will be much better, but the most important thing is that the two goddesses who have lost their supplies are destined to not wake up.
But just thinking about it, this is a basically impossible task. However, since the incredible step of becoming a god has been taken, maybe there is nothing completely impossible in this world.
"Well, only what the strong say will be listened to. The same is true in the world of gods. The first thing to do is to spread the belief in law and make the God of Law, the Sleepless One, powerful."
"Haha, this is not easy. Are you planning to go to the human world yourself?"
"Well, I can't leave this matter to others. I will set off after resurrection. The first stop is the Xilan Principality. That is my hometown."
"Is this a country founded by the descendants of the legendary paladin Roland Lan? The descendants of Lan?"
Hearing this, I shook my head. I had heard of this legend, but I didn't take it seriously.
"Maybe it's just to show off my talent. I was only fourteen years old when I died, and I'm not likely to leave any descendants."
"you sure?"
"...I'm not sure. I have lost too many memories, but according to my habits, the possibility of leaving any descendants is really low. Maybe they are the descendants of Cavins. He is very popular with women.
Why, the God of Death is also interested in human gossip."
"No, I'm just asking for help."
"Who can ask you to help me ask these gossips?"
"Your lover."
"Wait a minute! When did I have a lover? Why don't I remember it?"
"Don't you remember the day you became a god two months ago?"
[Master, do you still remember that condition? This is the condition for agreeing to my confession.] In an instant, I remembered what I said at that time. The condition at that time was not to act in front of Adam, but to agree to this so-called "confession".
"Eliza...you've tricked two people all at once! Are you really pretending? Does this count as a confession?"
At that time, my head was all turned into mush. Where could I react? I thought I was trying to smooth things over for him. How could I have thought that it was a confession!
"Well, it was the girl named Eliza who was very courageous. She scolded me by the River Styx and provoked me to come out, asking me to fulfill my promise to pick you up."
"Please, sir, don't remember the faults of villains!"
"Haha, why would I care about the little girl? On the contrary, I still admire her courage and determination and gave her a small gift. However, you are in a bit of trouble."
An ominous premonition emerged in my mind, and the figure wielding a knife crazily appeared in front of me again. Inexplicably, I wanted to jump off the boat and run away, even though below was the River Styx, which represents death.
"Well, where are we going now?"
"Of course it's to meet your little girlfriend. I promise to take you to meet her."
"Can I jump ship?"
"Please do as long as you think you can escape from me."
A soul escaped from the hands of the strongest god of death. In desperation, I could only scream.
"Unfortunately!"
