Luya couldnât help her heart beating faster, she held her breath. She felt a little nervous when she thought she was also a favored one.
She had also dreamed of the god, although it was unclear whether it was foreknowledge or simply a dream. The gods in dreams are not profane, perfect, and sacred, and people dare not look directly at them or approach them. And the other party calls her a fallen goddess. Does this have any special meaning?
âI heard that they were possessed by the gods. After being used up, their bodies exploded and died because they could not withstand the power of the gods. Because of the excessive energy impact, their bodies would become non-corrosive crystals. The fragments will be recycled by the believers to the temple for worship and become the honor of the favored ones.â
Doug sneered, âIt is said that god is merciful to save sentient beings, but I donât think thatâs the case. Only those fanatical believers think that it is glorious to die as a vessel for god.â
ââŚâ
Damn it!
Luya was shocked by what Doug said, and she couldnât speak for a long time.
Who wants this kind of honor!
She knew that the god on the opposite continent was not quite right.
What kind of god of light is this, the devil!
Because of the skewness of the technology tree and the lack of respect for religious beliefs, the people of the Empire, although recognizing the existence of god, have always depended on the power of technology to survive and are more inclined to believe that god and the devil are both demagogues. They donât take god as their faith. The primary role of the church is to hold a wedding. Even exorcism depends on high technology, and it canât be used.
But do the people on the opposite mainland think it doesnât matter? Or do ordinary people think they can survive under the blessing of god?
Luya felt that the whole person was not very good, but if you think about it carefully, it is the end of the world. Who cares so much?
Just being alive is a very luxurious thing.
What can make humanity survive in the end, whether it is a god or a demon, will indeed become the only belief of humanity?
However, what the Empire is doing is even worse. Without the rule of god, human beings are a mess and not united. The nobles are still desperate for extravagance, ordinary people constantly struggle to survive, and the living environment is extremely harsh. She really doesnât know what the future will becomeâŚ
However, Luya remembers that the Empire also has some special abilities. In her impression, those people have been trained as unique talents. The generals above the commander rank are all human beings with unique skills. Arenât they favored?
She couldnât help but raise this question to Doug.
âBut there are also many powerful people in the Empire. For example, there is a black knight who doesnât seem to be an ordinary personâŚâ
She couldnât forget the black knight; the guy pierced Farusâ throat, causing them to be captured.
âYou mean Master Degalol?â
Doug clearly knew who Luya was referring to and explained to her, âThatâs a tiny number of people. Except for those with the emperorâs blood, who are born with traits, most others have gained abilities after being strengthened.â
âStrengthened?â
âYes, Dr. Sivas has developed a serum injected by almost all senior soldiers. To give ordinary humans the power to contend with monsters, it was originally developed for the battle against the gods of Grandi Continent.â
It turns out that god relies on superpowers, and the mutation of the Empire relies on technology to transform itself. Both sides are half a cattyâŚ
âIf itâs so powerful, why doesnât everyone inject them all? So that humans can kill those monsters by themselves, right?â
âItâs not that simple. Although the serum can give people extraordinary powers, it also has great side effects. Many people die soon after the serum is injected. The success rate may be less than 10%. Most people bear it. Canât help the rejection of the serum.â
Doug lighted a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, âThis is also an open secret. Because the death rate is too high, the Empire only screens qualified individuals before giving them a chance to inject the serum.â
âŚâŚ It sounds like the style in some science fiction movies.
She always feels that even if there is no earthly demon eye, the two continents of Asdera and Grandi will probably fight again sooner or later, and the lives of ordinary people are just as sad.
She needs to learn whatâs so good about these two areas that are so far apart and where the customs are completely different. The Empireâs own territory can only partially be exploited. Is it necessary to stretch out for so long?
Of course, Luya couldnât understand the emperorâs thoughts. As a mortal, what else could she do besides struggling to live?
Letâs focus on the immediate things first, such as how to rescue Farus from here and how to get revenge on that ****.
Luya finished her dinner silently, thanked Luoding and Doug, and returned to the room with Piggyâs food.
When Piggy gobbled up and started eating, Luya continued to think about what she should do.
Itâs not impossible to sneak into Lianaâs house and assassinate her.
