"...I really don't understand why you want your believers to fight with the believers of the Goddess of Wealth." Deep in the kingdom of human gods, in the pavilion next to the terrifying black pool that can dissolve divine power, the God of Diplomacy said doubtfully ask.
In the middle of the black pool, the place where the God of Nobles sat had turned into a thin piece of ice, and He himself was sealed in the solid ice. The golden divine power continued to seep out from the ice, and The black pools offset and turned into gray water vapor.
In the water vapor, a slow voice came: "This is... necessary to purify... faith..."
"Purified faith? Hasn't your faith been purified a lot?"
"not enough."
"Isn't this enough?" The God of Diplomacy looked at the pool. The dark water in the pool had obviously dropped a lot.
This is magic water made from high-level demons and refined through complex processes and a large amount of resources. It can effectively dissolve the impure divine power condensed in the gods and prepare for the impact of powerful divine power. I don’t know how much time and energy was spent on this pool of water in front of me. There was even a god in the human pantheon who died in the abyss because of this...
But, it's all worth it.
In the past, the gods of patrons, gods of heroes, and even the current gods of nobility all relied on this pool of magic water to purify their divine power, reactivating the divinity that was originally imprisoned by faith, thereby greatly increasing the impact of powerful divine power. possibility.
Why are the gods of the human pantheon able to succeed in several attempts at powerful divine power even though their accumulation is clearly not enough? This has always been a huge mystery, and the answer to the mystery is this pool of magic water.
Not only that, it was with its help that the Lord of Glory cut off his connection with the Mother of Water, gained complete freedom, and killed the Mother of Water in one fell swoop.
Other gods don't know, but the God of Diplomacy, who is his confidant, knows. For a long time, the existence of the Mother of Water has been a serious concern for the God of Glory. Although this god of creation of mankind is not very powerful himself, he has absolute advantages over mankind. Although he has been lazy and doing nothing, if one day he suddenly changes his mind, even if he cannot completely destroy mankind, at least he can destroy more than half of the human pantheon.
For the human pantheon with so many enemies, that is no different from death.
It is for this reason that the Lord of Glory tried every means to plan and kill the Mother of Water, and finally succeeded in destroying her in one fell swoop, killing the most dangerous existence to mankind.
This behavior is naturally evil, but the Lord of Glory doesn't care, and the God of Diplomacy doesn't think so either.
Killing for survival, even if it is evil, what does it matter
There were very few gods who knew about this plan at that time. Apart from the Lord of Glory and the God of Diplomacy, there were only the God of Knights and the God of Nobles. The God of Knights is the first god-king of the human pantheon and the founder of the human pantheon. To do such a big thing, you cannot avoid him. As for the God of Nobles... The God of Diplomacy looked at the charming woman sealed in the ice and sighed secretly in his heart.
(His Majesty once said that if something unfortunate happens to him one day, he will inherit the position of the God King of the human pantheon. However, can he really support the human pantheon?)
He had little faith.
The God of Nobles is strong enough, and his scheming and methods are worthy of recognition. However, compared with the God of Knights and the God of Vengeance—the current Lord of Glory—He lacks two very important things.
Responsibility, and readiness to sacrifice for humanity.
Both the God of Knights and the God of Vengeance are filled with a sense of responsibility for the entire human race. In their hearts, human beings are the most important, more important than any interests, and even more important than their own principles. Therefore, after the Lord of Guardian discovered that the God of Vengeance had incomparable skills, he gave up the position of the God King without any hesitation and handed it over to the other party. As the God of Knights, he in turn served the other party and took revenge. When the God of God discovered that his priesthood was not very suitable to serve as the main god of mankind, he did not hesitate to seal his priesthood. He would rather endure the pain of having his soul torn apart all the time to ensure that he would not be The influence of clergy, the ability to think about problems with a clear mind.
This kind of dedication and sacrifice, this kind of selfless sense of responsibility, is something that the noble god does not have.
Without this spirit and this attitude, could He really shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire human pantheon and the entire human race at a critical moment
The god of diplomacy was silent, filled with doubts.
Not to mention anything else, just to ensure the success of his promotion, he carelessly provoked a war and let his believers fight against the believers of the Goddess of Wealth, which made him hate the God of Nobility at a critical moment. I have deep doubts as to whether it is really reliable.
But all this could not change the decision of the Lord of Glory. Although the God of Diplomacy once again reminded the unreliability of the God of Nobles after returning, He remained stubborn and designated the God of Nobles to take over as the God of the human pantheon in an emergency. King's first candidate.
Seeing the God of Diplomacy sighing and leaving, Uther Jean, who was sitting on the cold throne, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that lacked warmth.
Some things are fine as long as He himself understands them. There are some secrets that even close confidants cannot tell and can only rot in His own belly.
If the so-called "emergency situation" really comes to pass, the God of Diplomacy will naturally know why He made such a decision.
The considerations of the gods have little to do with mortals.
Mortals have their own considerations.
"What are you talking about? Negotiating peace with the merchant faction?!" At the meeting of the noble faction, an earl was so surprised that he stood up and shouted.
The person who proposed this statement was one of the two marquises, the Marquis of Uke, who was respectfully known as the "Jewel Marquis". He himself is a believer in the Goddess of Wealth, but his eldest son is a believer in the God of Nobility, and even once funded the construction of a temple to the God of Nobility. Within the aristocratic faction, he should be regarded as the core of the faction that is more inclined to the God of Nobles. He has always had a bad relationship with the "Golden Marquis" Marquis Gordon, who is inclined to the God of Wealth.
No one expected that it was not Marquis Gordon who proposed peace with the merchant faction, but him!
You know, when negotiating with the merchant faction before, he was the one who had the most intense attitude and almost refused to give in. At that time, he even shouted such fierce words as "I have four sons and five grandsons. It's all for everyone. There is no one in the Youke family who is afraid of death." On the contrary, Marquis Gordon had a gentler attitude and was a little more accommodating.
Why did his attitude completely change in just a year and a half
The nobles looked at each other and wanted to shout in unison, "This is unscientific."
