Chapter 239: Extra
The legend of the gods records that all the gods were born on Mount Olympus. But Bell knew that she was actually born on a barren hill in the mortal world, accompanied by crying, cursing, and killing.
As a result, she was canonized as a Valkyrie, and lived in Mount Moria, the closest to the main peak of Mount Olympus.
Bell did not know who wrote the legend, but she knew that the sage was either a liar or a half-ass.
There are no dragons in this world.
But the gods don't care, they need existences like "evil dragon" and "demon" to make people feel fear, so that people will be more worshipful to gods.
From the very first moment of birth, Bell clearly sensed this - human belief is the source of divine power.
At that time, she was standing on a barren hill, with corpses lying everywhere she could see. In front of her, the male deity named the God of War maliciously opened the belly of a beautiful human girl, and then tutted in disappointment: "It's a monster."
"Gods and men cannot conceive children, Ashes. You are too impatient."
The goddess who holds the source of life watched the massacre calmly and complained softly. At the same time, the greedy divine power poured out of Elifa's hands non-stop, absorbing the last shreds of vitality from dying mortals.
Bell doesn't understand what this scene means, she is a newborn god, and her body is still the size of a child. Born from the cry of mortals, the corpses on the ground make her sad and angry.
But what made her dazed was that it was her kind who killed these mortals with her own hands. The merciful and noble gods violently slaughtered hundreds of believers they were supposed to protect just because of a lustful play.
Bell didn't know why he was crying, maybe it was anger, maybe it was pain. At the same moment, the godhead was formed, and the two-handed sword appeared in the palm of his hand, but he couldn't split it.
What is a deity?
Alifa told her that when you have enough power, you will stop crying.
It seems to have answered this statement, Bell's power has skyrocketed with time, and for some reason, all mortals knew the existence of the new **** overnight. From a child to an adult god, she became the youngest of the seven gods as a Valkyrie.
Mount Olympus was not happy about the appearance of the new god. Although they are gods themselves, they do not know the mechanism of the birth of gods. They only know that each additional **** will further divide their original beliefs.
The most dissatisfied is Atheus, he believes that the appearance of Bell challenges the authority of the **** of war.
The gods could not kill each other, so Ashes poured his anger on the mortals, and increased the mortals' belief in him by terror and pressure. Who knows that pushing too far will lead to the breeding of evil sects.
For the first time, seeing the dark clouds full of evil shrouding the mortal village, Bell thought it was time to finally fulfill the mission of the gods. She really went down to earth and easily destroyed the evil beliefs that had just been formed.
Standing in the sky, watching the mortals kneeling and bowing, the new and huge power of faith poured into the body, Bell was excited. She returned to Mount Olympus, only to see the Lord of the Gods waiting at the entrance.
Gaia congratulated her on her exploits and said that a reward was waiting for her in the mortal world.
What would it be? Bell thought curiously.
She transformed into a mortal, and followed the prompts to find the direction of the overlapping rising of the sun and the moon, all the way from the western continent to the eastern continent. Seeing the birth and death of countless mortals.
The vast majority of them have learned to pray since birth, work like old cows all their lives, never leave their villages, do not know any knowledge, and live repeatedly from generation to generation.
If the weather is good, they will have enough to eat;
Life and death often depend on the mood of the gods. Bell sometimes sees the **** of the seasons turned into mortals and violent girls, and then turns them into sheep with tumors on their backs, which are beheaded by their parents and relatives on the sacrificial platform, praying for the gods to help them find their missing daughters.
Sometimes it is also Ashes, he likes to throw newborn babies into valleys full of wild beasts, or search for races with prophetic ability, let them predict which country has beautiful and noble girls . Then they turned into ugly beggars to check their "kindness", and if these girls refused to have **** with beggars, they would be thrown into the endless abyss as demon nourishment.
In addition to those who survived the play of the gods, they usually have the ability to communicate with the gods. As long as they walk to Mount Olympus, they can become gods. These people lost their faith after realizing that the gods were not merciful, but for the benefit of the gods, they quickly turned their heads and helped fuel the flames.
Watching all this, Bell didn't say a word, because of the reward, she couldn't reveal the identity of her **** halfway.
She knows it shouldn't be, but she doesn't know why.
Until one time, an unprecedented **** appeared on the land she passed by. The acid rain accompanied by thunder and fire destroyed most of the cities and fields, and drowned all races indiscriminately in the flood.
Bell sensed something was wrong, because she did not find the figure of the **** behind the disaster.
It was not until the **** of the four seasons came late and she went to ask questions, only to find that the other party was more panicked than her.
The gods have lost some of their abilities.
The first is the control of natural disasters.
And then there is the induction of the "people", even Gaia, the lord of the gods, can no longer grasp the dynamics of all mortals at all times.
The gods were even more angry, they blamed the loss of faith, and began to intensify the punishment, and it fell to the tragic situation that Bell was almost used to in the world, and failed to restore the lost divine power.
Later, in the valley behind a remote village that had lost all traces of life, Bell met a displaced and broken soul.
Unlike the wandering soul of the normal human race, this soul seems to be split by a variety of unfathomable forces, the whole soul is in a superimposed state of time and space cracks, and even Bell has no way to restore her.
The remnant saw Bell, as if she saw some kind of extremely sad future, and red tears flowed from the corner of her eyes. "We're all going to die," she told Bell.
Bell pretended not to understand, but was forced to stop when he left.
—The remnant called out her real name.
Once the lowly wandering spirit calls the god's true name, it will vanish. The remnant soul didn't care about this, and muttered to himself:
"When believers are suffering and longing for new redemption, new gods will appear, and you are born because of this... You should understand this the most, don't you?"
"Similarly," the remnant opened his mouth silently, as if weeping and laughing: "When faith completely perishes, the gods will cease to exist."
Bell finally reacted, grabbing the neck of the remnant, and releasing the coercion of God: "Speak clearly."
"It's too late, the gods have fallen and fallen, and the accumulation is hard to return..."
The remnant soul dissipated in the air, leaving only Bell in a daze for a long time.
Bell doesn't want to continue walking in the mortal world, nor does he want to know what the reward is.
She wanted to go back to Mount Olympus, but met Elifa on the way.
Alifa was overjoyed when she saw her embarrassed appearance: "Don't you still know? Gaia hates you."
""Although you are nominally his son of God, your existence just happens to prove that the world is not satisfied with his rule, and a new **** is needed to change the situation. "
Elifa used divine power to wave away the fog and pointed out the direction of the so-called "sun and moon overlapping rise": "Go and see, that is the reward you get."
Bell walked over and saw the village she first rescued from the evil spirits.
The altar is full of bones, and the villagers have long been sucked to death, and no one survived.
Bell didn't know which gods their lives were used for nourishment, she left in a hurry... and declared war with Gaia? Abandon Godhead? She had no courage and could not win.
After waking up, Bell realized that he had come to the endless abyss unknowingly.
She remembered that the ancient legends recorded that the endless abyss was because the heaven and the earth were not perfect, and the existence in the dark tore a crack in it, which was the wound of the world.
It may bring death or life.
So, when Bell was discovered by other gods again, it was decades later.
She lost her divine fire and half of her divine personality, leaving only one pair of swords, stunned outside the endless abyss. Everyone only thought that she was injured in the fight against the demon in the abyss, and no one noticed that behind the abyss, an extremely subtle and real crack had been quietly torn open.
[Declare the main system, detected the existence of a new plane with a connection point, is it connected? 】
[Declaration completed, connecting... A new copy is formed, successfully containing the plane [Ragnarok]...]
…
Later, later, I don't know how long.
For the long life of the gods, the occurrence of accidents is almost just the moment when the water droplets fall.
The gods were dying, unwilling to face the moment of their own ending, but Bell felt an unprecedented ease.
After the power was exhausted along with the faith, the Valkyrie threw away the only remaining sword, and closed her eyes in the face of the vast power.
There is no need for God anymore.
