For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King) - Chapter 71
Chapter 71 About Faith
There are eight Holy Spirit Church churches in the City of Thorns, which is the same configuration as most big cities. Each church of the Eight Holy Spirit Faiths has one.
The Church of the Holy Spirit is by no means just a place responsible for meeting the religious needs of the people. In fact, a considerable part of the municipal functions are handled by different churches of the church.
For example, the funeral church of the Seventh Holy Spirit “dead” is responsible for the requiem, cremation, sacrifice and related work of the deceased, and where ghosts appear at ordinary times, or which ancient tombs in the nearby countryside suddenly cause undead, Usually, it is handled by the requiem master of the funeral church. Of course, they will also charge corresponding fees.
But the situation in the City of Thorns is different. Duke Simon has shown his determination to suppress the Church of the Holy Spirit almost from the time he refused the coronation of the bishop of the First Order in his knighthood ceremony.
In his more than 20 years of ruling career, he almost drove the entire Holy Spirit Church out of the Blackwater Province. Up to now, only two churches in the City of Thorns are still barely maintained.
And William is now going to one of them, the Kane Church, which symbolizes the Eighth Holy Spirit.
The thought of this name gave William a bit of a toothache.
Just as the authority of Oka or Vera can be obtained through the Wang Kou ceremony, the Seven Holy Spirits, which are the prototypes of all myths except the Void King, can theoretically also obtain their authority through the corresponding mirror ceremony.
Of course, if you want to mirror to the level of the Holy Spirit, the process is countless times more complicated than mirroring ordinary local myths, and the resources that need to be consumed are countless times more terrifying.
Historically, the Church of the Holy Spirit has tried this. For this reason, they basically squandered all the wealth accumulated by the Church since the first year of the Platinum Calendar. In the follow-up, the secular regime was subjected to uncontrolled oppression, which eventually caused the influence of the church to plummet, which directly led to the end of the era of the clergy of the platinum calendar and the rise of the era of the Seven Kingdoms.
What is the result of spending so much money and smashing so many resources?
The answer is the appearance of the seven plagues.
No one can maintain his personality as a human after being baptized by the power of the original creation.
The main body of the ceremony, those mortals whose brains were broken by the will of the vast Holy Spirit, vented their power like crazy, and instinctively wanted to transform the world into a shape that only symbolized the existence of their own rules.
The present world is built on the delicate balance of major elements, and any element will become poisonous if too much.
Because the power of the Holy Spirit is directly acting on the rules that build the world, just in terms of pure destructive power, the disaster is even more serious than the invasion of the moon.
The eighth Holy Spirit worship that has appeared in the past thousand years, especially the act of binding the object of worship to a specific individual, whether intentional or unintentional, in William’s view, somewhat mirrors the previous behavior of the Holy Spirit. shadow.
Consolidate the archetypes of the mythology, and then inject momentum through personality beliefs.
and the final body of the maddening ritual.
At least the miracles triggered by the “Kane’s Horn” incident have proved that the Eighth Holy Spirit is currently active to a certain extent, and is not the same as the other seven Holy Spirits.
And this activation sign is currently bound to oneself, at least half of it may be bound to oneself.
I just don’t know what state that Terra Riel is currently in.
At present, this process can be said to be difficult to return, and this hidden danger can only be removed slowly in the future.
However, because the Holy Spirit Church has very strict restrictions on the mission of the Eighth Religion, there is still a long way to go from the disaster that happened back then.
But more importantly, there was no living person who could be the subject of exercising the power of the Holy Spirit before – if Terra Riel really died as recorded in history.
But, now there is.
William pushed open the door of the church that had been carefully cared for and was spotless with a heavy heart.
By the way, that woman won’t be here…
thought William as he pushed open the door.
…
“Praise the hermit, Praise the Holy Spirit Kane, you are the head of the Holy Spirit, the father pioneers the law, the mother breathes life, the elder enlightens the wisdom, the lady enlightens the heart, the youth gives back, the child grows, the dead promise rest… and You, the hermit hidden behind the rays of the seven holy spirits, you have given us spirituality…”
Nezmaar, who had changed into a coarse linen robe, knelt before the cracked icon and prayed in a low voice.
The footsteps behind her made her voice pause for a moment, and then she continued to pray:
“You are the inextinguishable spirituality in the hearts of every living being, the never-ending desire for freedom, and the first thrust of creation… You are the most merciful being among the many holy spirits. You have twice walked in the world to save the world in In the fire and water, and now it is about to come for the third time…”
“Okay, stop worshiping, I’ve never been a holy spirit.”
The sudden voice behind stopped Nezemar, and she got up and looked at the man who claimed to be William Kane.
The man continued to her:
“I should have already told you that I have never been a Holy Spirit. It was just an identity imposed on me by later generations to cover up my incompetence.”
To this, Nezemar replied:
“But the Holy Spirit Kane walked the world twice to save the Vic Continent. There is no dispute about this.”
“I only remember once, and also as a mortal, just like now.”
“Mortals can’t do such great things.”
“Mortals can do it. I am the proof. It is you who use this to prove the opposite conclusion.”
As he spoke, he walked over to his icon, and carefully looked at the evolution of the artistic image that has gone through a thousand years. It cannot be said that his appearance is completely the same as his own. That crack in the face.
Nezmar silently followed behind him without saying a word.
Some time ago, she had been in the midst of some kind of psychedelic religious experience—confirmed that the sect had been searching for the horn of Kane for hundreds of years, and she had witnessed an evil conspiracy that was about to devastate the earth by the Holy Spirit. To be prevented by power, and to meet a man who claimed to be William Kane, was the most veritable pilgrimage for any believer.
But after she really came into contact with the man who claimed to be William Kane, who was suspected to be the Holy Spirit, she began to doubt it again.
Not doubting the authenticity of the Kane horn, but doubting the authenticity of the man who came into the world as the Holy Spirit.
Because she really couldn’t figure out why the other party would admit the identity of William Kane, but at the same time completely deny his essence as the eighth Holy Spirit.
vehemently denies, even when the Manifestation is an iron-clad fact.
Anyone with basic common sense should know that these two are just different names for the same thing, and they are absolutely impossible to separate concepts.
This doubt started when the other party came back from the Holy Sepulchre that day, and he wanted to kneel to that person according to the etiquette of the Eighth Religion, but he stopped him with an invisible force, so he planted the seeds.
Therefore, she put on the attire of an ascetic and came to this church to pray and ask for answers, hoping that the Holy Spirit could give her enlightenment.
Unless he’s not the real William Kane.
Looking at the opponent’s back, Nezemar thought.
The other party was just a magic caster who was lucky enough to get the “Kane’s Horn”, and then used it to pretend to be a fake William Kane.
It’s like the countless false enlighteners that the Eighth Religion Sealed Temple captures every year.
The other party was reluctant to claim to be the eighth Holy Spirit because he was afraid of being judged after seeing the Holy Spirit appear.
As soon as the idea of appeared, it seemed that all the doubts were solved in an instant.
Immediately, a bold idea grew in her mind like weeds.
She looked at the quaint horn hanging on her waist, and unconsciously touched the silver rapier on her waist.
As long as she figured this out, her instinct as a relic collector began to be triggered.
“I advise you to give up your present bold ideas.”
The man facing the cracked icon suddenly said.
Nezmar’s movements froze instantly.
Literally.
Immediately, William ignored the believer who had been hit by [Petrochemical]. He stepped forward and reached out to touch the statue, silently closing his eyes.
Then, although it was very weak for him, William actually felt the “blessing” of the Holy Spirit on him.
It may be because of spelling with Du Gong today, I pulled my crotch today, so I will update it.
Guaranteed to be back to normal tomorrow!
