(This book contains a lot of misconceptions about SCP, please forgive me.)
The most powerful pantheon of mankind is the Holy Light pantheon, among which the most powerful gods are the three gods of Holy Light.
Lathander, Lord of Light, Uther, Lord of Dawn, and Billy Herrington, Lord of Light.
They are the leaders of the light god camp and are synonymous with strength.
But gods need the faith of mortals to be powerful. The more believers there are, the more powerful the gods will be.
The power of the gods is divided from strong to weak.
Great divine power, strong divine power, medium divine power, weak divine power, weak divine power.
So how to preach to mortals is also a science.
The main cathedral of the Lord of Glory is located in the capital of the empire of the gods, and it is an extremely gorgeous building.
In the church, there are hundreds of extremely exquisite statues, all of which are various images of Lathander in the mortal world.
The Radiant Religion uses exquisite statues to show mortals the greatness of the Lord of Radiance, making it easier for priests to preach.
At this time, it was already noon in the capital of the Empire of Gods, and countless believers came to the church to pray.
Although the Lord of Glory Church can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, the place was still packed with people who came today.
But it didn't matter. Those who couldn't find a seat knelt on the ground and worshiped the statue of Lathander devoutly.
But no one noticed that a statue of Lathander suddenly trembled, and then quickly fell silent.
This statue was turned into a containment object by Lu Buqun using the ability to modify reality, and has the characteristics of SCP173.
The statue cannot move when someone is looking at it. Once no one is looking at it, the statue will move behind the people around it at an almost teleporting speed and break their necks.
Of course, in order to allow 173 to continue to maintain the terror of the contained objects in front of the gods, and also to lower the alertness of the server owner.
Lu Buqun also added an indestructible setting to 173, canceling the setting that destroying 173 will lead to the destruction of the world. (I know this is just a secondary setting, many people regard this as the official setting.)
173's original physical fitness is obviously not good enough in the world of gods.
Soon, the time came for the daily distribution of Holy Communion in the church.
The Pope appeared under the statue of the Lord of Radiance, opened his arms and addressed the believers.
"Everyone, please let us express our gratitude to the Lord of Glory for his mercy. The Lord will use his supreme power to give us the Holy Communion and celebrate."
It is said to be a celebration, but in fact it allows many believers to perform a devout prayer process before eating Holy Communion.
The prayer process is divided into three steps: close eyes, kowtow, and recite holy scriptures.
For a time, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire venue closed their eyes and pressed their heads to the ground.
No believer dares to cheat in the church of the Lord of Radiance, because they know that God can see every mortal's movements.
The Pope looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction and smiled knowingly.
These are the new devout believers this month, enough to provide the Lord with countless power of faith.
At this moment, a pair of hands put on his shoulders and touched his neck.
Who dares to make such a reckless move at this time?
Before the Pope could think more, he only heard a "click".
That was the sound of a long stick-like hard object being broken!
The pope's vision flipped around and he saw the clothes on his back.
His neck was broken.
But the Pope is not dead.
He is a strong man at the pinnacle of legend, and a pope with the identity of God's Favorite. He can recover even if his neck is broken.
The Pope was filled with anger. He wanted to see who had eaten the bear's heart and dared to assassinate him at this time.
His soul perception spread out in all directions, quickly covering the entire cathedral.
A strong person does not need eyes to observe the world.
But what he sensed next made him feel terrified.
The statue of Lathander stood behind him, squeezing his neck.
The Pope hurriedly knelt down, carrying his severed head of course.
"My Lord, you have come to earth in person, what are your instructions?"
The Statue of Lathander, or the Primeval Statue.
The original statue remained silent towards the Pope and did not speak.
The pope thought quickly in his mind and speculated.
Could it be that the Supreme Lord wants me to realize something through this behavior?
In the memory of the pope, his own god would never convey the oracle clearly unless it was an emergency.
He would only say some vague words for the Pope to understand.
Presumably the Lord descended on the statue today and broke his own neck because he wanted to tell me something.
"My Lord, I understand."
The pope used magic to repair his neck, knelt down and kissed the toes of the original statue.
"You broke my neck because you wanted us mortals not to be arrogant because of our own strength, but to learn to bow our heads in humility. I understand."
At this time, many believers in the church also discovered the fact that the statue of Lathander was moving, but no one dared to speak.
Disobeying God is a serious crime.
As a result, everyone closed their eyes again and resumed their kneeling position with their heads on the ground.
Now no one is looking at the original statue.
"Click!"
The Pope's neck was broken again.
What!
The pope immediately wondered whether he might have misunderstood the meaning of his own gods, causing the gods to be dissatisfied with him.
But before he could continue to improvise, the sound of his neck being broken resounded throughout the church.
The original statue began to twist other people's necks crazily.
Teleport to the back and twist the neck.
Teleport to the back and twist the neck.
This is what the original statue did when no one was watching.
No one dared to move, no one dared to run.
Some believers even heard the noise of the statue starting to kill people, and their faces lying on the ground showed a look of fanaticism.
Can being killed by God be called death? That can be called being lucky enough to enter the kingdom of heaven!
The Pope also didn't understand the meaning of his own god, so he could only kneel on the ground and wait silently.
In less than ten seconds, the original statue broke the heads of hundreds of believers.
At this moment, an extremely majestic voice came into the Pope's ears.
"Thomson, disperse all believers immediately, the statue is the enemy! The statue of this action is not me."
The pope's pupils shrank, showing an expression of surprise. He realized that this was his own god speaking to him.
The reason for surprise was that it was the first time for him to see God convey the oracle so clearly.
What Ming Feishen likes to do most is: speak half of what he says, and only speak vague truths.
But now, this is the first time Pope Thomson has seen such an anxious tone and such a clear order from the god.
Thomson immediately stood up and looked at the statue, but still maintained a calm smile on his face.
The strange thing is that the statue stopped under his gaze and did not continue to break other people's necks.
The majestic and sacred voice reached everyone's ears.
"Lambs, God has used his hands to select dozens of lucky people to enter his kingdom of God, and you who bathe in the glory of God should continue to move forward."
This is the speech of the Glorious Holy See asking believers to withdraw.
Translated into vernacular it is.
If you didn’t win the lottery, get out! You’ll still have a chance if you try again in the future.
Seeing this, many believers could only look at the corpse on the ground with its neck broken and walked out of the church in an extremely orderly manner.
Within five minutes, all the ordinary believers in the church had left.
Instead, a group of paladins wearing medieval canned armor came to the church.
They pointed their holy spears, swords, and lances at the original statue and surrounded it.
The Pope used spiritual communication to issue orders to the military forces affiliated with the Holy See.
Several tall paladins knelt on one knee in front of the Pope.
"Your Majesty, the Dawnblade Paladins have been assembled and are at your disposal."
The Pope nodded and drew the sword hanging from his waist.
He said to the motionless original statue:
"Heretical souls dare to desecrate the statue of God. Do you know that this is a capital crime?"
