Don't call me evil god

Chapter 548 The real remnants of the old days

Norman smiled.

"Yes, I am indeed qualified and capable."

"But - as your question suggests, why should I do that?"

Resti's voice was a little puzzled: "Of course I need to say it. It shows the majesty and power of God!"

"Mortals are the manifestation of the power of gods in the mortal dimension."

"The gods of the old days all did this. They used clear oracles and divine revelations to constrain the words and deeds of mortals, control their actions, and strengthen their loyalty and faith in the gods. Only in this way could they be trained to become qualified fighters who could firmly resist the void dimension."

"Otherwise, if you allow mortals to mess around with your power, when the evil gods from the void dimension invade, they probably won't even be able to organize a decent resistance."

Nowen groaned and said, “You are right.”

"Did the gods of the old days stop the invasion of the Void Evil Gods?"

Resti was silent.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

These words almost hit her in the lungs.

Nowen continued with a smile: "Just think of it as my hobby."

"I'm just curious about what would happen if the power of thinking and judgment was given to mortals."

"Wouldn't it be too boring to make mortals give up thinking and leave everything to the gods to decide?"

"Then what is the difference between my believers and those brainwashed and controlled people of mercy in the Church of the Supreme Truth?"

"The difference is probably... I am considered a more powerful messenger?"

"The gods take over everything, stifling the variability and imagination of mortals. This does allow them to use the same template to quickly develop and become stronger, and mass-produce qualified 'soldiers'."

"But it seems that you in the old days were not able to follow this path either?"

"And after the end of the gods, the mortals in the mortal dimension did not die out. They survived the dark ages and rebuilt a prosperous civilization."

Resti let out a barely audible sigh.

"Given your status, it's really a bit... weird to say such a thing."

Norman smiled.

He understood what Resti meant.

It's incongruous to hear an extremely dangerous and chaotic evil god say that it's great that mortals survived the Dark Ages.

The fact that all mortals have not died out clearly means that the invasion and pollution of the void dimension has failed, which is something that should make the evil gods gnash their teeth in hatred.

Nowen's identity as the Void's insider was not acted out at all, it was obvious that he had turned against the government.

……

"I'm actually quite curious, it seems that the monsters of the old times are more dangerous than those of today? More powerful?"

Those suspended dead monsters that were suppressed and buried deep in the Spirit Wing Wetlands, Norman had learned the names of them through Resti - Stone Spirit Freaks.

Resti hummed in a muffled voice.

"of course."

"I don't know why the monsters in the New Huili Era have become so much weaker. In the Old Age, mortals had to fight monsters like the Stone Spirit Abnormality every year, and it cost a lot to destroy them every time."

"If it were a mortal now, I don't think it would be necessary to wake them all up. Even if we only wake up 3 or 4 of them and let them recover 7% to 8% of their strongest strength, without your coming, this city called Stone Castle would definitely not be able to be defended by the current dwarves."

"Back then, the three dwarf gods joined forces to bestow a blessing, allowing the dwarves to drink a kind of wine that stimulates strength. In a short period of time, their bodies can become as hard as rock and metal, and they are not afraid of void pollution. This is the only way to have a chance to fight against monsters of that level head-on."

"Otherwise, they can beat you into a pulp with one slap. How can you fight them?"

"I've never seen any dwarf in the New Huili era who knows this trick. They have even lost the art of brewing that kind of wine. The new god of wine doesn't seem to have bestowed that blessing on the dwarves." Norwen clicked his tongue.

In Resti's description, the old times sounded like a disaster.

All mortals, regardless of their background, must be trained to become qualified soldiers.

There is no need to worry about the day for battles, there are red tides of monsters every day.

Now, Nowen has confirmed one thing:

The Stone Fort dwarves worked hard to rebuild their civilization and start a new life after the Dark Ages.
Those cultists of the Church of the Supreme Truth, they are more like doing archaeology!

Picking things up from the debris, relics and corpses of bygone times.

The monsters in the new Huili have become much weaker, but the blessings that mortals can receive have also decreased!

Monsters have become weaker, mortals have become weaker, which means no one has become weaker.

The cultists who believe in the so-called "supreme truth" are one of the variables.

What they tried to do was not to pray to the evil god for more powerful strength, but to find the terrifying and dangerous monsters from history and awaken them.

"Restore the glory of the old days, huh?"

Nowen almost laughed at the actions of these cultists.

It turns out that these guys have been secretly working on the layout of the stone fort for so many years, but in the end they still followed the old path of the old times. It's like they were stamped with a mental stamp, without any innovation at all.

Perhaps they are the real remnants of the old days!

……

Novin was able to confirm this secret intelligence, on the one hand, from the information provided by Resti; on the other hand, it came from the evidence he obtained from the helpers within the Church of the Supreme Truth through the perspectives of Pete and Lena.

It turns out.

The leakage of important intelligence often comes from insiders.

As the vigorous assassination of cultists and followers of evil gods unfolded in the stone fortress, Pete and Lena no longer held back.

After solving the problem of the stronghold and the token required for the [Summoning Ritual], they went to the second floor of the stone fortress, which had the most stringent defense and the highest concentration of cultists.

This is where the dwarves from the nine clans live and gather.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the public headquarters of the Church of the Supreme Truth.

of course.

They still pretend to be normal in their daily lives and are ruthless in hunting monsters, which is why the Stone Fort has been able to operate smoothly on the surface until now.

Pete and Reina set their sights on a suitable target:

Bron Freeman!
A long-time friend of the Countess of Ceylon, they happened to have a conversation with this guy when they were in the Realm of Truth. Pete and the others still remember clearly how he fanatically worshipped the messenger and devoutly praised the Supreme Truth.

The Countess is now a Tier 5 Archmage. Since Braum can be an adventure partner with the Countess, his strength must not be too far behind.

But the other party has probably now degenerated into a complete cultist, with his whole body and mind embodying the shape of the evil god, and like the messenger, he will stay in the realm of truth for a long time. This is also the reason why Braum often "leaves the Stone Castle for a long time".

If such a powerful guy were to get involved when they were besieging the envoy, it would definitely be a huge factor of uncertainty.

Pete hoped to eliminate his threat in advance.

If possible, seize the opportunity when he is not in the realm of truth, gather everyone to attack him in a group, and send him to death in one go.

But when Rayna starts tracking Bron Freeman, something happens that they had never expected.
