Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

When he first arrived in this era, he had attempted to explore the Sun and Moon, believing that within them lay the palaces of the True Gods. However, Charles never completed his exploration, and upon approaching them, he was driven away by the power left behind by the two True Gods.

Now that he probably had the strength to fight against that expelling force, it was time to go there and take a look.

Perhaps you can get some unexpected gains from the moon and the sun.

At least... at least he hoped that he could know what exactly happened at that time, or what specific disaster the righteous gods had to face.

If possible, he hopes he can also contribute.

On the one hand, it is his duty as a follower of the church, on the other hand, it is his bond to this world, and more importantly, he wants to stand in front of Ms. Doom, hook her chin with his hand and tell her that he does not need her protection.

On the contrary, he believed that he could protect her.

Although this sentence is tens of thousands of years late.

As Charles planned his future and prepared to temporarily end his semi-retirement, the waters in the Kingdom of York grew deeper and more turbid.

Some demigods whose powers were taken away by Charles began to move towards the city using various means.

Last time, Charles used some means to clean up the things in this world that he couldn't stand.

In other words, he directly eliminated most of the demigods standing at the top of this world. Except for a small number of innocent gods and those who did not accept his invitation, or even some demigods who were directly ignored by him, most of the demigods either lost their lives or their power.

At the same time, although that incident happened a long time ago, it is not over yet.

After all...at that time, Charles handed over the power of judging some people to the current Pope of the Church of the Earth.

He collected evidence of their crimes and convicted and tried them based on his own persistence and beliefs. At the same time, in order to demonstrate his "mercy", Charles only took away their power but did not restrict their stay or departure, giving them enough time to "exonerate" themselves.

This kind of thing is naturally no problem when they are at their peak. After all, a demigod always has many forces around him serving them.

But after they lost their power, this method no longer worked.

After all, they cannot be sure what will happen to them if they return to their organization as ordinary people.

Therefore, while the contemporary Pope Santu was using the power he obtained from Charles to integrate the church and initiate a trial against them, some people chose a new way to save themselves - seeking Charles' forgiveness.

Although this seems impossible.

But compared to their other choices and outcomes, if they could not obtain Charles' forgiveness before being tried, or before others knew their past identities, then they could prepare for their own funeral.

At that time, Charles was just following his heart and doing some things, but in their eyes, it was a different situation - Charles did not kill himself directly but only deprived him of his power, so he must have some expectations of them.

Or they think that their existence is helpful to Charles or has some value.

After reaching this conclusion, some people came to the Kingdom of York, to Moroston, the place where the Shire was most likely to appear, but also the most dangerous for them.

"Any clues?" Wen Xier asked Batu casually while eating some food around the slums.

He was once a demigod of the Rose Cult, a demigod who was somewhere between deserving death and not deserving death.

"No clue." Batu sighed.

"Your method won't work. We'd better face our destiny sooner rather than later." Wen Xier quickly finished the food in the bowl and then said to Batu, who looked a little disappointed.

As a demigod hostile to the church, Wensil did not agree with Batu's ideas.

It's just that he owed Batu a favor a long time ago, so after Batu found him this time, Wenxier finally chose to come to this country with him.

"It's impossible to accept this kind of thing..." Batu said gritting his teeth.

As a demigod, as someone who once stood at the pinnacle of this world, he would never accept such a miserable ending if he was asked to give up his power and his former status to accept the judgment of the Church of the Earth, or to die indifferently.

"So what if I'm unwilling?"

"He is much more powerful than all of us, so he can decide our fate at will, just like we have decided the fate of others countless times before." Wen Xier said calmly.

To be honest, he was a little dismissive of Batu's idea.

After all, his idea was too naive.

Now that the power has been taken away, how can it be returned?

That guy said this just to maintain his reputation as the Church of the Earth and to maintain a false procedural justice.

Wen Xier had seen many of the dirty and ugly faces of those church brats. He didn't know what the church was like in the past. He only believed in the church he had seen.

A place full of filth and evil!

Do you want those guys to be kind and return your power?

How can this be?

"Be more sincere...and can you please not be so proud even now?" Batu sighed and said helplessly.

"The fate of both of us depends on you."

"Wait until I find that great being, Wensil, please be a little more sincere."

"Whether it's a prodigal son returning home or some other kind of change, I hope you can confess your previous sins to him and sincerely ask him to forgive you." Batudi said to Wenxier countless times.

"I would rather die." Wen Xier answered for the umpteenth time.

For a moment, Batu felt a little bald.

Why did I choose a partner like him at that time?

Thinking of the price he paid and the risks he took in order to find him who had lost his power, as well as Wensil's uncooperative attitude at this time, Batu's heart was filled with despair.

"Venthyr, I don't know what you think. I believe that only by living can we have a future, and only by being strong can we ensure that we can do what we want to do."

"You and I are different. Although I am a bit hypocritical, I have done many wrong things. After being tried, it is likely that I will never see the light of day again."

"But you are different. You have been harmed by the church. Although you have killed many ordinary people, there are reasons for it. And there may not be any real accidental injuries. At the same time, your country is also the most orphan-friendly country on the continent. You have done many good things. Among all the demigods, you are one of the best."

"In my opinion... apart from the hatred you faced in the past against the Church, you shouldn't have ended up like this."

"So... listen to me. Memorize the Holy Word Book I gave you earlier, and then wait for me to find that being. Afterwards, you can express your repentance to him. This way, the curse on you will most likely disappear, and your power will be restored."

"You might even be accepted by the Church of the Earth. After all, this kind of thing can easily become a story or legend if casually adapted."

"Organizations like the church love to create stories like this."

"So... you have a much better chance of surviving than I do, and even regaining your power—if you can let go of your stubborn temper."

"Please, I beg you. I hope you can protect me after you recover your strength." Batu looked at Wenxier very sincerely.

Wensil's past and the reasons for his hatred for the church are not easy to investigate. If it were not for a coincidence, Batu would not have known that this powerful demigod had suffered so many humiliations in the past.

But compared to the humiliation that most people encounter, that incident became his motivation to move forward, and even the power to survive.

If he could go back to the past, Batu also hoped that he could endure the same humiliation as him.

At least this way, he no longer needs to place his slim hope on Wenxier.

"I don't know how many times these conversations have gone on. You don't find it annoying, but I find it noisy." Wen Xier looked at Batu expressionlessly.

"A lot of things don't matter to you, but they do to me."

"So... give up. There are some things I won't do."

"If you keep nagging me, tomorrow I'm going to go to the remaining churches in this city and smash some things."

Batu remained silent.

Then he looked at Wenxier helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't try to persuade you about this matter for now."

"What about the other thing?"

"Have you found the job I told you about before?"

Wensil's usually calm face turned a little embarrassed.

Wensil had probably suffered a lot since he was very young, and money had always been his most precious thing.

But after he became a superhuman, many things changed.

It was then that he realized that money was actually nothing great.

but now...

Those things that he had long forgotten made him feel embarrassed and speechless.

In that encounter, they lost everything, not only their strength and power, but also their treasures were taken by Charles.

And the demigods have been away from the mundane world for a long time.

After having their powers taken away, most demigods lived in extreme poverty. After all, they had forgotten how ordinary people should make money.

If Charles had not been moved by the persistence of the contemporary Pope and prepared to let him complete his judgment on them, cleanse his own faith, and leave some power in their bodies while taking away their power, some demigods might have died of hunger or disease by now.

"Could it be that you haven't found a job yet..." Batu looked at the embarrassed Wen Xier with a helpless look.

"I...I have been looking for it very seriously, but who knew that the job now is so different from before." Wen Xier said unnaturally.

He was indeed very serious about looking for a job.

But as a demigod, he still couldn't completely let go of his pride and dignity.

In this era, it is difficult for people who are too persistent and have too much pride and dignity to pass the company's interview. After all, no one wants to find a ancestor for their company.

"You have to pay attention to this matter, otherwise when the money I earned before is spent, our life will become even more difficult than it is now." Looking at the simple food in his hands and the cold residence around him, Batu felt a little melancholy.

God knows how long it has been since he last had a room like this and eaten food like this.

"Isn't it just money? If it doesn't work, I will compile some extraordinary knowledge into books and sell them. I will always make some money." Wen Xier said lacking confidence.

"Then you wait to be recognized by some organization, and then put your life in the hands of your own organization or someone else's organization to decide."

"Don't you think about how many enemies you have? Now that you've lost all your power, don't keep trying to push your way into the extraordinary world."

Knowledge is wealth. With the knowledge that the demigods possess, even a little bit of it leaked would be enough for them to live and eat for a long time.

But...this thing is like a bomb.

They can easily be sold at a good price, or their identities can be easily discovered, and then... they can just wait to die.

"I'll give you one day. Either you start memorizing the doctrine and holy words of the Earth Church that I gave you tomorrow, or you can come with me and start moving bricks. At least you have to be responsible for your own living expenses."

Wen Xier fell silent, then nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Call me when you go to the construction site tomorrow..."

Batu nodded, then returned to his room, lay down on the shabby wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep.

His job was physical labor, and after losing his supernatural powers, that work was also very tiring for him.

Chapter 327: Clues, the Mutual Aid Association is Targeted

"This country is really interesting." At the dock, Wen Xier, who had been unloading cargo for a few days, listened to the people around him talking about some stories they heard from others and said to Batu who was panting beside him.

"Isn't it interesting to exist in God's kingdom?" Batu turned around and said to Wensil while listening and filtering out any useful information that might appear.

"What I mean by interesting is the unique political system that has been formed after various supernatural organizations moved in."

"Because of the sharp sword hanging over their heads, those organizations that are at odds with each other restrain each other, and ultimately it is the ordinary people who have been ignored who decide the fate of this country." Various voices kept coming out of the loudspeakers in the distance, and the messages conveyed by these voices made Wen Xier want to laugh.

"Ordinary people who have not entered the extraordinary sequence? What qualifications do they have to decide such things?" Batu said disdainfully.

"Even if it's because of that existence that the people here can only implement this system, it seems to improve the status of ordinary people, but does this improvement in status have any impact on extraordinary people?"

It is impossible to say that there is no impact at all, but it is also complete nonsense to say how big the impact is.

After all, most extraordinary people don’t care about the opinions of ordinary people, they only care about their own strength.

"Besides, what if their status has been elevated?"

"They have no knowledge, no ability, and no force. They are no different from the livestock kept in captivity elsewhere."

"All it takes is one person to hold out some grass, and they'll believe whatever that person says."

"As long as the cost of education in this country increases slightly, or if the educational content is mixed with other things, then no matter how much their status is improved, it will be of no use."

Thinking about what he had recently heard some people express about their pride in the policies of the Kingdom of York and their pride in being able to participate in political affairs, Batu had an urge to laugh out loud.

This country appears to be very free and democratic, but in essence it is no different from any other country.

It’s just that most countries rule them with force, but here we use wisdom.

"If you can't become extraordinary... the so-called status is just empty talk."

Being extraordinary cannot directly bring wisdom to people, but after becoming an extraordinary person, even an ordinary person will have the time and money to acquire relevant knowledge and thus become wise.

Although most extraordinary people are crazy, there is still a big difference between a crazy person and a fool.

"So, don't you think it's interesting?" Wen Xier said seriously.
