Odin saw that Sonia was polite but not fearful, and her eyes held a hint of appreciation, and he spoke.
"Of course, but before we go to visit Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void."
“I still need to take you to the Void Temple.”
"These are the rules that members of the Void Cult must follow when they first arrive at Void Island."
Sonia smiled slightly upon hearing this and said softly.
The moment the word "rules" was uttered, the other members of the Void God Cult changed their expressions, looking at the God-King Odin to see his reaction.
"Blessed by the void, I am now a member of the Void Cult."
“It is only right to follow the rules. Please lead the way, Miss Void Envoy Sonia.”
Odin also sensed the gazes of the other members of the Void Cult around him, but he didn't mind and smiled slightly.
"Come with me."
Sonia nodded slightly upon hearing this and turned to lead the way.
Odin followed immediately.
Frigga, Thor, and Loki are not yet considered members of the Cult of the Hollows.
However, knowing that they should simply follow Odin's lead, they remained silent and followed Odin forward.
“Mr. Odin, you may address me as Miss Sonia.”
"There's no need to add the title of Void Envoy."
“The atmosphere on the island is quite relaxed and free. If we keep using this title, it will make the other members on the island feel constrained.”
Sonia spoke as she led the way.
"Since Miss Sonia says so, then I will address you as appropriate from now on."
"We also brought some Asgardian specialties and small offerings with us this time."
"Since this is my first time here, I am unfamiliar with the island's rules and what kind of offerings I should bring. Please understand."
Upon hearing these words, Odin, the king of the gods, had a flash in his eyes and spoke.
"We can discuss the tribute and gifts after you have all received Lord Kassadin's approval."
Sonia smiled slightly upon hearing this, not caring at all.
Because of Mr. Tony Stark, what Void Isles lacks now is not money or anything else, but time to develop.
Moreover, the offerings and tributes were entirely voluntary, so Sonia only considered them as extra income and didn't value them too much.
"Of course, I have come here with sincerity, hoping to sign a covenant with Kassadin, the God of the Void."
Odin also knew that he was the only one who had joined the Cult of the Void, and everything would depend on the conversation after the formal meeting.
Having experienced the exhilarating feeling of becoming younger through evolution, I now understand just how terrifying the Blessing of the Void truly is, so I came here with utmost sincerity.
Furthermore, Sonia also mentioned that this was the rule of the Void God Cult, and that taking them to the Void Temple would likely reveal things they needed to know.
"Since Mr. Odin is so self-aware, then I will say no more."
Sonia didn't say anything more after hearing this.
Sonia and Odin flew tens of centimeters above the ground, while Thor, Loki, and Frigga walked, closely following Sonia's figure.
Because Tony had previously believed that Thor and Loki were incapable of joining the Void, he hadn't taken them to visit the Cult of the Void.
Thor and Loki also didn't want to develop any further desire to join the Cult of the Void after seeing it.
It made it difficult for him to even be a guest of the Void God Cult, so he didn't insist on it.
This is also the first time the two have visited the Void Temple, one of the important locations of the Void Cult.
The group was quite strong, so it didn't take them long to get from the harbor to the Void Temple.
Odin gazed at the statue of Kassadin, the god of the void, atop the massive steps.
Compared to the real Kassadin he had seen, this statue was as insignificant as an ant.
However, Odin also put his hands together and bowed in a very proper manner.
Although he can address Kassadin, the god of the void, by his name, he still needs to show him the respect due to him.
He can now see himself returning to his youth, if the Blessing of the Void is taken away.
He certainly wouldn't want to be forced back into a state of waiting to die.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality; this perfectly describes Odin's current situation.
"Is this Kassadin, the God of the Void...?"
When Frigga saw the appearance of the statue, her eyes flickered slightly.
Thor and Loki had seen another form of Kassadin, the god of the void.
However, Kassadin, the god of the void, was clearly resting and playing on Earth, and was not in his official form.
So this was the first time the two of them had seen the Void God Kassadin in his full form, and together they followed their father and bowed respectfully with their hands clasped together.
Chapter 343 Seen but Not Felt
Whether it's Thor or Loki, when they witness Tony's improved strength, as well as the power displayed by other members of the Hollow Cult, they are all impressed.
The two had long harbored a desire to join the Void God Cult, but they both knew beforehand that there was little chance, so they felt regretful.
However, their father had joined the Cult of the Void and was growing younger every day under their watchful eyes, foreshadowing the terrifying power symbolized by the Blessing of the Void.
If this visit is successful and the blessing is granted, the individual will gain strength far exceeding that of the past.
Therefore, it is natural to have reverence for Kassadin, the god of the void.
After arriving at the temple, Sonia also climbed the steps one by one.
"Lord Kassadin has already explained to you that the Cult of the Void has few rules and is actually quite free."
"However, Lord Kassadin did not explain the commandments to you during that conversation."
"Therefore, having come to Void Island, I must show you the Void God Cult's precepts clearly and make you remember them."
"Everyone is equal before the precepts, so please remember the precepts."
"If anyone violates the precepts, he or she shall be judged."
Sonia spoke as she walked upstairs.
This caused a stir in the hearts of Odin, Thor, Loki, and Frigga, regardless of who it was.
After successfully climbing the steps, the group saw a stone tablet.
The stone tablet bears a doctrine and three precepts.
Odin looked at the three commandments that needed to be followed: Do not eat your own kind, do not eat living creatures, and do not be controlled by your desires. These three commandments were incredibly simple and not difficult to follow.
What is it like to be dominated by desire?
However, after seeing the last one, Odin asked a question.
"Mr. Odin, I think you have already experienced the taste of evolution; it is a very wonderful feeling."
"As Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, has said."
"The path of evolution is not fixed, nor is there a truly correct path."
"Anything you want can evolve, making up for everything you lack and everything you desire."
"The feeling of constantly growing stronger with each evolution is so captivating that it's easy to become addicted to it."
"If one indulges in desires and recklessly accelerates one's own evolution, there are many ways to do so."
"But unrestrained indulgence of desires will eventually turn you into a monster that only knows how to evolve."
"Therefore, you must properly control your surging desires and keep your mind rational, otherwise you will not be far from death."
Sonia said softly upon hearing this.
The Void God Cult does not pursue a state of desirelessness, but rather adheres to the corresponding precepts and basic human decency, and then pursues what it desires.
"understood."
Odin, upon hearing that there was more than one way to possess it, and recalling that Kassadin had said the simplest method was eating, understood and said gratefully.
If one is unaware of these precepts, one will certainly try to eat and devour all sorts of things.
The prohibition against devouring one's own kind, as stated in the precepts, refers not only to other members of the Void God Cult, but also to various races that are also intelligent races.
If even intelligent beings continue to devour each other, it will indeed lead to faster evolution. However, the humanity that intelligent races should possess will be gradually lost in the process, eventually turning them into inhuman and brutal monsters.
The path of evolution holds infinite possibilities, but it is also a process of self-cultivation.
Odin was certain that as the number of members in the Cult of the Void increased, those who broke the rules would inevitably appear.
Perhaps for this reason, Kassadin, the god of the void, established these precepts at the beginning of the cult, serving as a warning to its members.
While this may not completely eradicate the problem, it can greatly reduce the possibility of violating the precepts.
Has anyone in the Void God Cult violated any of its precepts?
After seeing these three commandments and hearing these words, Frigga asked a question.
"Not yet, but the courtroom is located within the temple."
Sonia shook her head slightly upon hearing this and spoke.
"Won't the first person be in a terrible situation..."
Loki, hearing that no one had yet violated the rules, imagined it for a moment and said with lingering fear.
Everyone knows the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is used to warn others.
“Mr. Loki, I have heard some of your deeds.”
"If you are fortunate enough to gain Lord Kassadin's approval and join the Cult of the Void."
“Your father, Odin, will forgive your foolish actions because you are of his blood.”
"But the Void God Cult will not tolerate such behavior, and will take action if any violation of the precepts occurs."
