"Chairman Xiao. What should we do with these prisoners from the Divine City?" asked the officer in charge of the escort.
Xiao Chen was about to answer when he found that Liu Yisheng sent him a message through the bridge of the mind.
"You can't leave them here. I suggest you execute them all."
"Executing prisoners?"
"Yes, do it now." Even in the mental conversation, Xiao Chen could feel Liu Yisheng's resolute tone.
"During the duel, Dominic told me that there is a connection between the City of God and him. As long as he dies, or if enough saints die, the consciousness of the God of Nature will sense this failure. According to the God of Nature's prior plan, the City of God will launch some kind of action to cleanse the continent."
"But you still killed Dominic?"
Liu Yisheng said, "Yes, because in my opinion, leaving them behind is actually a hidden danger. I believe what he said is true, and I also believe that the God of Nature will use the power in the God City to create some kind of disaster. But I think if he wants to launch such a disaster, he will definitely be able to do it after he wakes up. And at that time, the power of the disaster will become even greater under the control of the God of Nature. It may be a good thing to face this disaster in advance before he really wakes up.
What’s more, Dominic himself didn’t know what the disaster was, nor how many other people died to trigger this mechanism. That’s why I killed him.”
Xiao Chen asked: "Do you think leaving these prisoners behind will be a hidden danger?"
"Well, who knows if the presence of these people will become some kind of medium to intensify the disaster?"
Xiao Chen looked up at the two saints lying down and the two kneeling down. The saint who had entered a dream of peaceful sleep was sleeping soundly, while the other two saints, one male and one female, had a very calm expression on the male mage's face, while the female warrior was furious. However, both of them were gagged, and could only make some "hmm" and "ah" sounds at most.
Xiao Chen said to the officer, "Execute them on the spot. Be careful to use magic to destroy their souls."
Liu Yisheng said: "Why not give it to the saints who have never killed someone to practice with. Executing a saint is also a rare training."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No need. No matter how powerful these people were before, they are now just people who have no ability to resist. Killing them is no different from killing an ordinary person. Our saints do not need to improve themselves in this way. Leave this matter to the guards."
The female saint struggled desperately, and her violent movements even knocked over the officer who was guarding her.
Xiao Chen said: "They seem to have something to say, let them speak. It is not our style to prevent dying people from speaking."
The officer took the cloth from the saint's mouth, and the woman cursed: "You blasphemers who don't believe in God, don't think you have won. We are just insignificant dust under the throne of the gods. When the day comes that the gods awaken, you will not be able to compete with his might! Today you killed my soul, and I just returned to the kingdom of God."
Xiao Chen frowned and asked Liu Yisheng, "Is it true that believers in God can enter the Kingdom of God after death?"
Liu Yisheng sneered and said, "This is just the self-consolation of a group of idiots. What you said to me once makes a lot of sense: the true God does not need believers. Because his power already exists, the faith from believers will only corrode his divine power and kidnap his soul. The Temple of Nature is just some pets he keeps, just like a dog, which can be released to bite people when needed, and others will not feel sorry for killing it. Things like eternal life in the Kingdom of God are just words to deceive some idiots to work hard for the Temple. Although some people have become saints, they are still confused by these self-consoling nonsense."
"He is right." Gawain said, "Bella is the only true pastor in the world. She said that the true God never made any promises about life after death."
Liu Yisheng said: "Of course. Xiaoxi herself said that many times the difference between them and us is that they are just more powerful. The so-called kingdom of God is just a special small world opened up by the gods."
The female saint continued to curse, but there was nothing valuable in her words. However, Xiao Chen, who was very sensitive, felt the real fear from her words. Maybe she herself did not believe in the things in the Kingdom of God. Xiao Chen pointed at her and blocked the sounds around her. No matter how she shouted, no one else could hear her.
Xiao Chen looked at the male mage and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Actually, I don't quite understand why Ahlia is so scared. I'm a mage who survived the War of the Gods and have experienced tens of thousands of years in the City of Gods. The City of Gods is not a place where time stands still, but a very strange space. We have lived in each other's soul worlds for many, many years. As for me, I've lived enough." The male mage said very calmly.
"Perhaps you have lived too long and forgotten the fear of death." Xiao Chen said.
"Perhaps. But since you've given me a chance to speak, I want to tell you two things."
"Go ahead."
"What you are doing is meaningless. That's because you don't understand how powerful God is. I am not a believer, just a person who is willing to follow the powerful. In my heyday, my power was higher than everyone here. But even then, I still felt as humble as an ant in front of the power of the gods."
Liu Yisheng asked, "If you are an ant, what is God? Human?"
"No, ants just illustrate how insignificant I am. God gives me the same feeling as..." The male wizard thought for a moment, "Do you know the giant whale in the sea? It can swallow hundreds of fish with its mouth open, and a house can fit in its body. Maybe that's how God gives me the same feeling."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That's not bad. Giant whales and ants are both carbon-based creatures. To me, they are still in the same category. In fact, I am most worried that you will compare the gods to the sky or the sea. If that is the case, we will be in a lot of trouble. If you want to use these words to undermine our confidence in fighting the God of Nature, I am afraid you will be disappointed."
The wizard obviously didn't know what carbon-based organisms were, but he shrugged indifferently and said, "If you want to think so, I don't care."
"What's the other thing?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"There is a great terror in the city of gods. Originally, it might not have appeared, but your victory allowed the gods to release it. I have already felt it." As the male wizard said this, strands of green light emanated from his body and flew towards the sky. Soon, the same green light appeared on the other three people.
Liu Yisheng shouted: "The Divine City is gathering their energy, take action!"
