Overlord Garserik is a giant in history, but he is also the most tabooed figure by the two major religious organizations, the Holy See and the Holy City. After establishing the Perlas Empire, the Overlord carried out a bloody suppression of religious forces until Perlas After the destruction of the empire, the two major religious organizations finally recovered.
And it is precisely because of this origin that neither the Holy See nor the Holy City wants to mention any news about Garserik, and they do not want a second overlord to appear on the mainland.
Augusta knew very well what the dream he longed for most was to restore the territory of the Perras Empire to the Kalsemmen Empire during the era of overlord Garserik. He would reunify this fragmented continent. He would He became the second emperor to be crowned after the Overlord.
And this grand wish is not a delusion. At least after learning about the long-lost technologies from the Perlas Empire era, Augusta began to find that his dream was not impossible to realize, and a large number of people and goods could be transported at once. Large teleportation portals, military airship technology that is larger, faster, and more powerful, and the steel machine "Demon Knight" that the Imperial Guards of the Overlord era crushed the entire continent!
However, all this is based on blasphemy, if there are really gods in this world┉┉
And now Augusta understands that gods really exist in this world. Not only are there gods, but dragons and demons described in myths also exist. Almost overnight, Augusta discovers the world he is in. It has almost completely changed. It has become full of countless unknowns, and it has become so stressful that it makes people breathless.
"Are you afraid?" Ishtar did not answer this question directly.
fear!
It was natural for Augusta, as a mortal, that no matter how much he tried to hide it, no matter how much he tried to force himself to be calm, fear would still arise from deep within his heart. Now Augusta also knows one thing very well. If a god really wants to punish him, he does not need to come to the human world in person. The god only needs to issue an oracle to announce his crimes, so whether it comes from the Holy See or The pressure within the Kalsemmen Empire will make everything he does now fail. But why is the current situation
Usually Augusta National will definitely start to calculate all possible situations very quickly. But now the prince of the Kalsemmen Empire only feels that his mind is in chaos. He cannot calm down his thoughts in front of the gods. There seems to be a fog in his mind, and he cannot sort out and analyze the information he has now obtained.
Ishtar closed his eyes slightly: "I think you should also understand Augusta. If I really want to punish you, then I have thousands of ways to do it without coming to you in person."
"So noble goddess, may I ask what is the purpose of your coming this time?"
After the goddess lowered her tone, Augusta felt better all over, and the aggressive aura that made her breathless finally subsided a little.
"I'm very interested in your dream ~ Augusta!" Suddenly Ishtar raised his head and stared at Augusta with a charming smile and said.
For a moment, Augusta almost doubted whether his ears heard correctly. The goddess Ishtar is very interested in her dream! ? Dare you be interested in your grand dream of establishing the era of Overlord Garserik ~ How is this possible!
Looking at Augusta who seemed to be stunned, Ishtar said calmly: "You are eager to follow the example of the Overlord and reunify the entire continent, and I also hope to reunify the people of the entire continent into one will. In many ways we think alike."
“I┉┉I don’t understand what you mean┉┉”
"The Overlord established a territory that spanned the entire continent and unified all races in the world into his empire. The era of the Perlas Empire was a golden age of rapid development for the world, with countless new theories and Technology was born in that era, and the entire world's civilization developed rapidly in that era. Even if he excludes his arrogant and blasphemous behavior, he has to admit that he did a good job, right?"
Augusta watched in disbelief as the goddess in front of her smiled and talked about this supposedly taboo figure. There was no trace of anger or disgust on the goddess's expression. On the contrary, just like his former self, he showed a longing expression when reading about the deeds of the Overlord.
The goddess also worships the overlord as much as she does┉┉
No! Augusta instantly gave up this whimsical idea. The goddess Ishtar was different from him. Rather than worshiping Overlord Garserik, she worshiped the era of the Perlas Empire established by the Overlord. An era that brings all things under one will.
As if he had seen through everything in Augusta's mind, Ishtar crossed his hands and said with a subtle flash of light in his eyes: "That's right~ Augusta! All I long for is that unity. That era, when everything gathered together in one will and idea, that’s why I’m very interested in your dream.”
“┉┉┉┉”
After being silent for a long time, Augusta suddenly covered his forehead and laughed: "Hahaha┉Originally I thought I was a person obsessed with desire, but I didn't expect that even 'gods' have such strong desires!"
"This world is originally driven by the desires of countless 'I's. If everyone in the world had no desire, then the world would have long been stagnant and frozen, and the gods naturally need a little desire to promote their own sublimation. Of course, if the desire for desire exceeds the limit, then the only choice is to become an evil god who is willing to freeze the entire world to maintain his dominance."
Ishtar said without any difference. On the contrary, it seemed more like he agreed with Augusta’s idea.
"In that case, why did you come to me? You are a god. You must be able to find a better candidate at any time to realize your dream."
"Because you are special Augusta┉┉"
"Special? Haha┉┉Aren't you afraid that I will become the second overlord Garserik?" Augusta seemed to be willing to give up when he said this, asking questions one after another that were meant to offend the gods.
However, Ishtar's smile grew even stronger at this moment, as if a person who had already learned the answer was looking at an ignorant person who was still confused and asked a ridiculous question: "Do you really think that the overlord's blasphemy is Does it come from his own intention?”
In an instant, Augusta's slightly excited expression calmed down. Why did Overlord Garserik suppress religion and blaspheme so much after establishing the Perlas Empire? In the opinion of some historians and scholars, most of this is due to the overlord's own desire for power and vanity. He does not want religious power to become his stepping stone, does not want the glory he has established to be forced to share with the gods, and desires to sublimate himself into a god. God made himself a symbol that will be remembered forever by the world.
But now it seems there is something else hidden!
"I think you must have read the legend of the Overlord many times! When Quintis was at its lowest, his army was chased into the Mist Forest, and was finally forced to migrate to the Yanord Mountains, where he found the Powerful power, and it was this power that allowed Quintis to turn defeat into victory and achieve great achievements┉┉"
As the goddess spoke softly, the atmosphere in the room became cold for a moment: "However, the world will never know that the power Quintis is pursuing is a power full of hatred for the gods and the entire world. A transcendent person who once fell in the war, its hatred of the gods in the world forced Quintis to sign a contract when he obtained its power, which was to blaspheme and destroy the gods! "
"Is what the Overlord seeks... the power of the devil?" Augusta was stunned for a moment.
"Not a demon, a transcendent being, an existence that should not have appeared in this world. It was imprisoned in the Yanold Mountains after its defeat. It awakened for the last time two thousand years ago, and it was this awakening that gave it the power He gained the power of Quintis, and at the same time also bestowed hatred on him┉┉"
Ishtar said calmly, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes inadvertently, as if he didn't want to continue talking about the identity of this power: "Augusta! The overlord you admire is the same as you, he just longs to establish In an era of his own, blaspheming the gods has never been in his mind. Tell me┉┉Do you really hate the gods that much?"
Hate the gods┉┉blaspheme the gods┉┉
The goddess's voice seemed to have a strange magical power, which made Augusta couldn't help but ask himself, if he had to say it, he really had never done it before. After reading the deeds of Overlord Garserik, the so-called overlord's blasphemous behavior became clear. I think I have the same view as those historians and scholars. One is that there were some irreconcilable conflicts between the overlord and the religious forces at that time. Everything the overlord did was just to remove the obstacles that hindered him. The second is that the overlord is too obsessed with vanity, hoping to put himself above the gods and leave the most glorious page in the history of history.
He longs to rebuild the glory of the Perlas Empire in the past. In his eyes, both the Holy See and the Holy Capital have only appeared as obstacles. Other than that, there seems to be nothing...
"┉There's no need to hate, right?"
The sudden sound in her ears shocked Augusta. The goddess Ishtar had appeared behind Augusta at some point, and whispered in Augusta's ear very intimately. Whispered. For a moment, Augusta felt as if someone had cast a holding spell, and all the muscles in his body were stiff and unable to move at all.
Ishtar returned to the previous position with a slight step, stared at Augusta and said with a hint of pride: "You are eager to restore the Kalsemmen Empire to the glory of the Perras Empire in the past. This is not something." It's such a taboo thing. On the contrary, I like you as a mortal with enterprising spirit. But Augusta! I must make sure that what you do will not bring too much harm to this world, let alone Kunti. It’s like following the wrong people for strength.”
"You mean┉┉"
"Believe in me! Choose me! I will be your guide and supervisor, so that you will not go astray on the road of overlord." Ishtar stretched out his hands, as if to redeem the world. The light made Augusta unable to take his eyes away for a while. (~^~)
