"Second Commandment: Do not take my name in vain."
"Third Commandment: There shall be no other gods."
"Fourth Commandment: Love your father, your mother, your husband, your wife, your children, as you love me."
"The fifth commandment: Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"The sixth commandment: Do not kill the innocent."
"Seventh Commandment: Do not lie, do not accuse, and do not break promises."
"The Eighth Commandment: Serve me with your heart, not with a sacrifice."
"The Ninth Commandment: Those who commit petty crimes must first atone for their sins before they are forgiven."
"The Tenth Commandment: Help your compatriots and companions, praise my name."
The Holy Covenants echoed in the ears of Kalat, the bald-headed rebel, making him completely kneel and bury his head on the ground. He could not help but shiver in awe, fear, and excitement.
As a Mid-Sequence Beyonder, a member of the Resistance who had once been educated in the Feysac Empire, he had sufficient knowledge. He knew that the worship of the Sea God was mostly based on fear — fear of powerful strength, fear of the natural risks that humans couldn't resist. Many rituals still retained primitive bloodshed, and it was an inhumane, uncivilized, and backward faith that would be eliminated sooner or later.
However, the faith he had cultivated since he was a child made him not dare to disobey the oracle. He could only bury the idea of modifying the ritual process deep in his heart and try his best to avoid the parts that conflicted with his own ideas.
Now, the Sea God's sudden change made him extremely happy. It was as if he was watching a primitive totem evolve into a true god.
We are blessed. The Resistance is blessed. The true believers are blessed … Kalat raised his head slightly, his vision blurred. He spread his hands sincerely and pressed them to his lips.
"I will follow your path as I praise your name."
The blurry figure in front of him disappeared, the loud voice in his ears disappeared, and the scene in the cave returned to its original state.
But Kalat knew that everything was no longer the same.
He moved his elbows and quickly crawled back to the wheelchair. He sat on it again and turned to the other side of the cave.
Kalat soon encountered Edmonton. The rebel with the blue sea snake tattoo stood in front of the strange bleeding statue. His forehead was a mixture of red and black, dirty and ferocious.
However, Edmonton's expression was one of joy, excitement, and satisfaction. He looked at Kalat and blurted out a question.
"Did you receive an oracle?"
"Yes, it's the breath of God, just like before." Kalat nodded excitedly. "Not only has God returned to the earth, but he has also reforged His holy covenant."
Edmonton heaved a sigh of relief.
"I suspected that I was hallucinating.
"It seems that as long as an outsider touches the holy sword, God will be able to reappear on the earth. There's no need to lift it completely."
Kalat agreed.
"That is indeed the case. The reason why the statues are broken and bleeding is because God has changed his image. We must build a new one! Just follow what we saw earlier! "
"God also showed 'His' Sacred Emblem. Above the symbol of the waves was a lightning-shaped scepter, surrounded by strong winds," Edmonton said as he recalled.
Kalat immediately patted the armrest of the wheelchair.
"Let's go find the High Priest now. He should have received the oracle as well.
"We will welcome the new World!"
…
Above the gray fog, Klein put down the Sea God Scepter and rubbed his temples in exhaustion.
He had just noticed a problem. The Sea God Scepter could respond to ritualistic magic, which was to provide a certain amount of power to help the prayers complete the ritual and achieve their goals. However, it could only be concentrated in one's own domain, and it couldn't exceed the upper limit. What it could do was rather limited.
For example, the Evernight Goddess could influence fate to allow her believers to naturally obtain the money they needed to repay their debts. As for the Sea God Scepter, it could at most forge the white paper on the altar into cash. Furthermore, it wouldn't take long for it to lose its effectiveness and return to its true form.
This is the difference between a fake god and a true god …
Besides, outside the gray fog, as long as the procedures and the sacrificial chant are followed, the Sea God Scepter can automatically respond to ritualistic magic, unless more than half of its power is needed at once … This might be why the steps of ritualistic magic are very important …
Above the gray fog, the prayers have been blocked and reduced to points of light. The Sea God Scepter can no longer automatically respond, and I have to handle it manually. This is rather troublesome. I can't stay here all the time. Of course, there's also an advantage to this. As long as the prayer isn't wrong and accurately points to the Sea God Scepter, no matter how perfunctory the ritualistic steps are, I can still receive a response. There's only one prerequisite — I'm in a good mood …
When I have the time, I have to think of a way to make the Sea God Scepter become an automatic answering machine even above the gray fog … Making a paper angel? That's useless. Without injecting a soul … Becoming a mechanical puppet that deals with the repetitive and complicated ritualistic magic responses? Hmm … I wonder if a Marionettist has such abilities. At the very least, Rosago only showed the trait of controlling people like puppets …
Klein's thoughts gradually settled as his gaze moved to the iron cigar case.
After some research, he discovered that the heavily corroded cigar case had undergone a certain mutation. It had become sturdier and more resistant to corrosion, but it was still within a range that normal humans could understand and accept.
It doesn't possess any special qualities … But if I leave it here for a few years or decades, or if I store a Beyonder characteristic or mystical item for an extended period of time, perhaps one day, it can really evolve into a Sealing Box that will gradually lose its effects … The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he turned his head to look at the junk piled in the corner.
They were covered by the gray fog and were nearly one with the surroundings.
Heh heh … Klein laughed dryly and retracted his gaze.
He played with the golden wine cup that had been crushed and confirmed that there wasn't any problem with it.
After doing all of this, he entered the real World, summoned himself again, and brought the Sun Brooch and other items back to his hotel room.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky had dispersed and the moon was clear. The crimson tranquility sprinkled down, and the entire City of Generosity, Bayam, remained asleep in its dreams.
…
Nine in the morning, Cathedral of Waves.
Alger was summoned and once again met the diocesan bishop, Chogo, in the name of confessing.
"Find this person." Chogo handed over the portrait in his hand.
Another mission … What's going on recently … Alger muttered inwardly as he casually unfolded the paper.
When he saw the contents of the portrait, he almost couldn't control his laughter.
It was impossible to tell whether the person was a man or a woman, or what they looked like. How was he to find them? In an instant, a thought came to him, and without hiding the changes in his emotions, he deliberately blurted out:
"Who is this?"
The portrait was of an abnormally blurry and mysterious person, without any characteristics that could help in the search.
There wasn't this mission yesterday … But this morning, there's a sudden request for a pursuit … What happened last night? Hmm, Cavituis has completely fallen … This way, the Church and the military will definitely search for its remains … Symeem Island is the clue? This person took away the most important item before they did? Who is this person? Alger's heart trembled, and he almost didn't dare to look Chogo in the eye.
Chogo nodded.
"A dirty, despicable thief! He might be from Intis or Feysac. He might belong to the Church of the Sun or the Church of the God of Combat. "
Someone from Intis or Feysac, someone from the Church of the Sun or the Church of the God of Combat? Why would there be such a guess and judgment? His Excellency Jaan Kottman could only obtain very little information at the scene and was unable to identify the target? Under such circumstances, it can indeed be preliminarily determined that this person is from Intis or Feysac. This is because these are the two countries that support the Resistance and Cavituis. Heh heh, there's reason to believe that they might have long known where Cavituis is hiding … It matches my previous guess … Of course, it could also be something else … Alger restrained his emotions and asked, "What did he do?"
"You don't need to know.
"You don't need to know. Just take note of any abnormalities from the Intis or Feysac people in Bayam. Yes, that includes the locals who have already become Beyonders. In addition, find the person who posted the notice on the cathedral's main entrance. They might know something. There will be further information for you soon," Chogo instructed in a deep voice.
This is indeed a direction … Doesn't this tell me that this person is related to the notice and the death of Cavituis … I wonder who has the Beyonder characteristic left behind by Cavituis … Who … Right, The World is in Bayam. Not long after he came here, something happened to Cavituis! Could this be Mr. Fool's goal? This will help "Him" remove more seals and restore "His" strength? Alger's pupils suddenly constricted as he recalled his previous guess.
…
When he woke up, Klein, who had gained a lot last night, was full of energy and in a good mood.
He decided to treat himself well today. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner had to be sumptuous and delicious.
Pushing the door into the living room, he saw that Dhaniz had already gotten out of bed and was removing the bandage and splint on his arm.
He recovered so quickly? Klein was slightly taken aback.
Seeing German Sparrow look over, Dhaniz chuckled and said, "My recovery ability is pretty good.
"My regenerative abilities aren't bad. My Sequence 9's name is Hunter. All aspects of my body have clearly been enhanced, exceeding that of a normal human. The parts related to combat have improved even more, and I'm now a Sequence 7."
Sequence 9 Hunter? I've killed one before, and I even know that the corresponding Sequence 6 is Conspirer … Klein suddenly recalled the first enemy he encountered when he first arrived in Baekeland. It made him fall into a huge vortex that he almost couldn't extricate himself from.
"Sequence 8, Provocateur?" Klein asked casually.
He had long guessed at Dhaniz's Beyonder pathway from the fact that he was good at using fire. It was the Red Priest pathway that Rosell called a "true man of iron and blood." Sequence 7 was Pyromaniac, also known as Fire Mage in ancient times.
Dhaniz was taken aback for a second, thinking that German Sparrow was suspecting him. He subconsciously raised his voice.
"Do you think I'm not good at provocation?
"No, I'm an expert in this field!"
