Sirius was determined to take the sacred fire away from the temple, make it a symbol of royal power, and completely eliminate the influence of the temple on secular power.

But she also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed.

She could play with those slaves at will because slaves could not even be called orcs. But the priests and deacons of the temple were different. They had a very high status in the hearts of those free people, even far exceeding most of the nobles.

If they act rashly, it might cause unrest again. Tanon, who had just recovered from the war, could not afford such hardship.

"I have plenty of time to play with you guys."

Shiris is full of confidence.

She has prepared several methods to deal with the temple, including but not limited to dividing the temple, provoking internal struggles within the temple, and slowly restricting the power of the temple through policies until launching the final blow.

Seeing that the night wind was getting stronger, Sirius came down from the tower and returned to the palace.

After losing a hand, her life was affected a lot, but thanks to the power of the holy fire she possessed, these impacts were not insurmountable.

It was also because of this that her irritable heart was able to gradually calm down and regain her former wisdom.

"Queen, the hot water is ready."

"Ah."

Sirius nodded, neither happy nor sad.

Over the next few days, she would go up to the tower every day to watch the reconstruction of Tanon.

When the last destroyed house was rebuilt, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Everything will start again, the darkness will eventually fade away, and the light will shine upon the Orc Kingdom again!

"I, Siris, the greatest king in the history of orcs, am about to return!"

Shiris opened her arms and laughed, looking forward to a sunny day.

But uninvited guests have arrived in the lake outside the city.

Tong Yao saw clearly that those followers of the Night who were scared away by the mythical pressure of the Sword of Morpheus moved westward and finally arrived near the city of Tanon.

Instead of rashly attacking the city of Tanon directly, they chose to dive into the lake outside the city of Tanon and use Kranos' ability to control the lake water, forming waves several meters high that rushed directly towards the city of Tanon.

"Hurry...Run! The flood is coming!"

"What is going on? Why is there a flood in this season and on such a large scale?"

"It's over. I just got the land and I just planted the seeds!"

The orcs active outside the city were frightened by the rushing flood and fled in all directions. Several unlucky ones were directly submerged by the water and were at a loss.

Fortunately, the flood was flowing on flat ground, and when the water hit the walls of Tanon, they were able to break free from the water and escape successfully.

But now no one cares about their life or death.

The walls of Tanon had just been repaired not long ago. The new walls, which were mostly made of mud and wooden boards, were hit by the flood and immediately began to leak everywhere. Although some people tried to rescue them, they could not prevent the city of Tanon from being flooded.

“This is definitely not a normal flood!”

Sirius walked out of the palace with a frown on her face. She quickly sent guards to check the situation.

Just as the guards set off, the followers of the Night had already followed the water flow into the chaotic city of Tanon.

"I'm back, I'm finally back!"

After being away from Tanon for more than a hundred years, looking at the city in front of him that was completely different from the original one, there was only excitement and madness in Chash's eyes.

Why can the exploiters live in magnificent houses, and why should outsiders be oppressed?

All this is the fault of the Lord of Glory, the evil god who betrayed the night and brought injustice and oppression!

The holy fire, oh, the holy fire, he could already sense the location of the holy fire.

Now is the perfect time to extinguish the sacred flame and usher in the night!

Chash led the way, followed closely by other followers of the Night, whose hatred for Tanon was no less than Chash's.

This is an extremely terrible man-made disaster.

At first, most people were only concerned with escaping and had no time to think about the cause of the disaster.

But when they found that there were floods everywhere in and outside the city, they hesitated again. If they stayed in the city, everyone could at least take care of each other. Once they left the city and encountered a flood again, no one would come to rescue them.

In such chaos, a group of believers of the night successfully arrived near the temple.

"There are people in the water, rescue them!"

A deacon who was passing by rushed over and reached out to pull up Chash, whose lower body was completely submerged in the dirty flood.

The moment she grabbed Chash's hand, she turned her head and looked at a believer of the Night behind Chash with a puzzled look.

"Aren't you... the workshop owner Finn who participated in the rebellion? I remember you ran away. Why are you..."

"The minions of the Lord of Glory have no chance of redemption. Your only way out is death!"

The eyes of the Night believer named Finn were red as if dripping blood. The next moment, several slippery black tentacles emerged from the water and strangled the deacon's neck.

In just a few seconds, the deacon who went up to rescue people was dragged under the water, and the blood that gushed out from the bottom of the water dyed most of the flood at the entrance of the temple red.

"Kill all these minions who blasphemed the God of Darkness!"

In the flood, the followers of the Night surfaced one by one. The thousands of twisting tentacles beneath them almost covered the entire surface of the water, and their appearance was hundreds of times more severe than that of a group of twisted and entangled snakes.

"what?!"

Screams suddenly broke out.

The deacons standing nearby were so frightened by the horrific scene that they stepped back one after another. They not only forgot to save people, but also forgot to use the power of the holy fire to expel the evil spirits.

By the time they reacted, the followers of Darkness, led by Chash, had already rushed into the temple.

Screams and roars intertwined, flames and black light blended together, and blood slid down the sacred temple steps. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was the Last Judgment.

"Queen, something terrible is happening!"

In the palace, Sirius received an urgent report from the guards.

"The temple was attacked by monsters?"

She was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

She originally wanted to eliminate the influence of the temple, so aren't these monsters helping her now?

But soon Sirius realized the problem.

"The holy fire is in the temple. If anything happens to it..."

She knew that there would be problems with the Holy Fire, but she just sat there and did nothing. In this case, how could she be qualified to meet the Lord of Glory?

Sirius immediately led the guards towards the temple.

When she arrived at the scene, the temple was in chaos. Half of the tall buildings were destroyed, and most of the deacons had black scars on their bodies. Even the priests were not in much better condition.

The good news is that thanks to the strenuous protection of the priests, the holy fire is still safe for the time being.

Siris glanced around and what came into view was a half-orc, half-tentacle monster that she had never seen before.

But there was no fear in her heart, only anger, because she saw many familiar faces among these monsters.

"How dare you, a bunch of traitors, come back?"

The scolded followers of the Night sneered: "You are the real traitors. You betrayed the God of Night and threw yourself into the arms of the evil god, the Lord of Glory. Everything you are experiencing now is the punishment from the God of Night! When the holy fire is extinguished, the night will revive. Even the evil god, the Lord of Glory, will not be able to escape death!"

Sirius was so angry that she laughed.

The Lord of Glory is an evil god?

"You ugly bastards think that you can do whatever you want just because you got power from the God of Darkness?"

The power of the Queen is unlimited!

If she could drive away these rebels once, she could drive them away twice!

At this time, Chash, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

"Foolish people always think they have seen through the essence of the world, but in the end they are just poor creatures fooled by the evil god. The most direct way to deal with fools like you is to let you see the real miracles!"

A true miracle?

Sirius, the priests, the deacons and others were all stunned for a moment.

At this moment, those followers of the Night formed a strange circle.

In an instant, they, who had a hint of clarity in their eyes just now, fell into madness. Some cut their arms, some pinched off their tentacles. This collective act of self-mutilation caused a large amount of blood to flow from their bodies into the flood.

What was strange was that the blood was not washed away by the water, nor did it gather into a pool. Instead, under the influence of an unknown force, it was arranged into a pattern that seemed regular yet irregular.

As the strange ceremony was completed, a whirlpool appeared in the flood. It spun faster and faster, so fast that a hole formed in the middle, so fast that the sky darkened, and a deep and ancient breath emanated from the center of the whirlpool.

Crazy, twisting, crawling, surging, screaming!

Sirius opened her eyes wide and saw a monster whose appearance was indescribable.

It came from far away, descended from the nameless myth, it is——

The deep sea monster Kranos!

36 A century of seal, forever loyal to the nursery rhyme

"This is……"

Tong Yao's eyes fell on the phone screen.

Under the influence of Kranos, the Night Believers even had their body structures changed, so she was not surprised at all when she saw that the Night Believers could sense Kranos' presence from a long distance.

But it was somewhat beyond her expectations that the followers of Night summoned Kranos using patterns drawn in blood.

“Is this power a completely new use of the authority of life?”

Nursery rhymes give people the joy of accidentally discovering a treasure.

After careful investigation, she found that things were more complicated than she had imagined.

She can also use her divine power to instantly transfer things from another place to herself, but this takes advantage of the absolute control she enjoys over this world as a god.

When she is completely integrated into this world, let alone just changing the position of an object, every word she says and every decision she makes will become the underlying rules of this world.

This is God’s creative authority!

The method used by the followers of Night to summon Kranos is completely different from his method.

They used a magic circle constructed with blood to open up a passage between them and Kranos. This passage did not belong to this world, but was in a "different world" very close to this world.

Apparently, this was an unconscious discovery.

Because it was also the first time for the believers of the Night to do such a thing, but they succeeded, and everything seemed to be ordained by God.

"Is this different world a place like the subspace, or a higher-dimensional world?"

Tong Yao did not rush to explore further, but continued to watch what happened in the temple.

As Kranos descended upon the open world, the mythical power rooted in the underlying logic of the world began to dissipate.

Everything in front of Sirius began to change.

She watched helplessly as the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, fell completely into darkness. Except for the light emitted by the holy fire, all other lights were swallowed up by the thick darkness.

In the darkness where one could not tell east, west, south or north, all that was left were the groans of the injured priests and deacons, as well as the wails that seemed to come from the abyss.

That was the Night believers welcoming the arrival of Kranos, the messenger of the God of Night, in their own way.

Sirius's face changed drastically.

The twisted monster that she encountered on the battlefield that day was incredible enough, and what happened today almost made her brain crash.

What is this?

Is it true that there are other gods in this world besides the Lord of Glory?

Sirius' heart was shaken violently.

In comparison, those believers of the Night were so excited that they were about to burn with excitement.

From the moment Kranos landed in the temple, the outcome was already decided.

"All lost lives will be saved. From now on, there will be no more disputes and pain in the world. In the original ocean, all beings are equal!"

"Come on, embrace the night!"
