Chapter 267 The Faith of the Holy Lord
Ragnarok shook Rome.

Is their god just gone?Isn't God eternal?
The citizens of Rome fell into a panic. They tried their best to pray and hold sacrifices, but they got no response.

However, the things burned by the sacrificial fire disappeared, and they sensed that the sacrifice was successful, that is to say, the godhead of the god to receive the faith and the sacrifice was still there, but it was missing or lost consciousness.

But what is the difference between this and falling?The unreconciled ruling class sent brave men to find the gods.

The top heroes and priests can go up to the court of God and down to the underworld, but those who go to the court of God say that it is empty, only the powerful undead are left, occupying the great court of God.

Those who went to Hades never came back.

"What happened, how did the gods lose..."

"Is the powerhouse of Eastern Paganism really that powerful?"

"The world after becoming a god, the world after death, and even the capital on the ground, all fell!"

"Fate, where are we going?"

The elder forces fleeing from Rome retreated all the way to the northeast, even more afraid to return to the city of Rome.

Originally, their capital, Rome, fell into the hands of slaves.

Why evacuate?It is because the demon god-like powerhouses from the east are too powerful, and they want to wait for the gods to settle the battle before cleaning up the old capital.

I never thought that the gods themselves were cleaned up.

That being the case, even if their empire is powerful and they are sure to destroy the Spartan rebels, they will not dare to do it. The strong man in the east is like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and God knows when it will be cut off.

"Report! There is an army chasing from the rear!"

"What? The terrifying demon god just came here? Do you want to destroy the world?"

"No, no, it's the Roman army, look at the banner, it's the emperor..."

After hearing the report, the elders were very surprised, the emperor?Constantine?

Didn't he vow to live and die with the city of Rome?Why did you still escape?

Waiting for them to run away before escaping?Isn't that fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps?

It seems that they understand everyone's behavior and know how powerful the Eastern power in the sky is. At the time of the great changes in the collapse of the god system, everyone must unite, so they want to ease the relationship.

Immediately, in a city named Milan, the noble army stood ready to meet the emperor's troops with normal specifications.

Anyway, this is also the emperor, even though the two sides fell out, they still have to be respected.

"Constantine, do you know about the death of the gods?" A senior asked straight to the point.

Constantine sat on the top seat, his eyes were gloomy and distressed: "The Roman gods have not fallen, they are immortal spirits created by the Lord, but they were defeated and enslaved by the demon gods from the East!"

"They were forced to serve the demon gods, and some of them even betrayed their sacred mission and turned to Satan, degenerated into devils, trying to fight against the unique Lord."

All the nobles present were at a loss, what Satan?What devil?what Lord?What is the emperor saying?

But some generals immediately understood and said in surprise: "Your Majesty! Don't be fooled by those pagan Christians. They believe in the only supreme Holy Lord, and regard the god we worship as the spirit created by their Lord. This is a cult of blasphemy and disrespect!"

Only then did some nobles understand what Constantine was talking about, and said with disgust and heartache: "Your Majesty, how can you believe such nonsense!"

"This group of heretics spread their teachings crazily among the slaves and the lower class. The ancestors and priests of the past dynasties have not been able to get rid of them after 300 years of arrest, punishment, and beheading. It can be said to be a serious problem in the heart of the Roman Empire."

"Your Majesty, if your words today are spread, it's okay? There's going to be a big mess!"

The nobles are all believers of the Roman gods, with the blood and power of the gods, how can they tolerate the humble Christian paganism?

However, Constantine went up against the crime, and the emperor's prestige swept the audience: "Is there any greater trouble than now!"

"Blasphemy? It's the dusk of the gods!"

"The old gods of Rome are dead! Where are the faces of the gods?"

The nobles were stunned all of a sudden, their faces were sad, and they were powerless to refute.

It is an indisputable fact that their gods have been overthrown by people. Whatever they say now seems to be trying to save their respect.

Seeing this, Constantine said majesticly: "The old gods of Rome are the spirits created by the Holy Lord. They are the messengers of the Lord, guiding the world, and it is the Lord who has given them authority in the world."

"In that case, why don't we believe in the Lord directly?"

"What..." The nobles were dumbfounded: "Constantine! You...you want to change the state religion?"

Constantine opened his arms and said: "I was going to stick to the palace and live and die with the city of Rome, but the Lord...inspired me and sent the bishop Athanasius who was exiled by me in the past to rescue me from the prison. come out."

"I just realized that the gods are not to be feared. They are just the angels of the Lord. They will be defeated or bewitched by the evil Satan and degenerate into devils."

"Only the Lord is invincible, and only by believing in the Lord can one be saved."

Many nobles below, there was a commotion and discussions.

They understand the meaning of the emperor, change to another god.

They broke up in the palace before, and they told the emperor what they said to wait for the victory of the gods before recovering the city of Rome.

As a result, they waited and waited until the gods were defeated.

At this time when beliefs are collapsing and the gods are in ruins, it may be a good choice to change a religion.

"But... I have killed so many Christians, can I still convert?"

"That's right, the late emperor even lit them up with sky lanterns... 300 years ago, he also crucified their holy son..."

"As a result, we still want us to believe in their gods?"

"And what Satan are you talking about? What devil? What angel?"

The nobles don't know much about this religion. Although it has been in their civilization for more than 300 years, because it is a conquered land and the religion of the slaves, they are oppressed and preached secretly at the bottom.

Hearing what Constantine said was cloudy, they asked questions one after another.

Constantine turned towards the curtain and made an inviting gesture: "Let Bishop Athanasius tell you."

Behind the curtain, an old man in a linen robe walked out, holding a cross in his arms, with a face full of vicissitudes.

"Satan is the ancient snake that tempted mankind to gain wisdom, and guided people to establish civilization."

Everyone was in an uproar, what?Let mankind gain wisdom and guide mankind to establish civilization?

Isn't that great?Isn't this Prometheus?
"So Prometheus is Satan? Then he is not evil. Why don't we believe in Satan, but in your Lord?" a senior said disdainfully.

Bishop Athanasius raised his head and said: "Satan-style civilization is a rebellious civilization, a civilization full of original sin."

"In the beginning, the Lord created the world, and created human beings and all things, allowing our ancestors to live in paradise without any worries."

“However, Satan betrayed the Lord, became arrogant, encouraged people to fight against the Supreme Lord, attempted to usurp the Lord’s authority, and tricked mankind into establishing an evil civilization.”

"From then on people lost Paradise and became cunning, violent, killing each other, full of sin, rebellious against self-importance, and did not fear the Lord."

The Roman nobles looked at each other and said, "This is your fairy tale? The Titan who betrayed the gods?"

"Now that the Roman gods have been overthrown, we believe in the Titans. Why should we believe in your gods?"

Athanasius calmly said: "Stupid lambs, this is not a story, this is a fact, this is the truth!"

"The gods are angels, but spirits created by the Lord, and what we believe in is the Supreme Lord."

"If you have to say that He is God, then He is also the only true God! All the gods of all civilizations are false gods!"

"Titans who betrayed the gods are devils who follow Satan's creed, but not only Titans follow Satan."

"Qin Na, the eastern civilization, held up the totem of Satan thousands of years ago, and their gods were defeated by the forces of Satan."

"However, they did not sink. After being civilized, they fell into the embrace of the Lord, completed the transformation, became the people of heaven, and directly believed in the way of heaven. Only then did they achieve their present glory."

"And the way of heaven is the only supreme Lord, a different name in the East, also known as 'God'."

A senator exclaimed: "Is that what the Roman gods called 'fate'?"

Constantine added: "Yes, the three come from the same name but have different names. They are the root of everything, the foundation of the world, and the unique and supreme master of everything."

"The East has directly believed in the Lord, so the gods in the East are restricted by the Lord. The Qin Na civilization does not need to dedicate all its precious things to the God, but only needs to believe in the way of heaven and become a citizen of heaven."

"And the evil Satan and his demons have also been suppressed to this day."

"In fact, our civilization has long had a similar system, that is Christianity, but they have been misunderstood and oppressed by us."

"Now Satan's evil forces have risen again, destroying the old Roman gods, and intending to revive them."

"We should be baptized as the Lord's people and change the state religion to Christ in order to redeem ourselves."

"Don't care about their oppression in the past. The Lord loves the world. As long as you accept baptism, your past sins will be washed away. From then on, if you believe in the Lord wholeheartedly, you will be redeemed."

The nobles finally understood that Rome used to believe in the gods, and the gods believed in fate.

Now that the gods are overthrown by Satan, according to the emperor's meaning... just don't need middlemen, skip the gods, and directly believe in the only way of heaven like in the East.

But they still don't understand, why don't they follow Satan and believe in God?
"The man who killed from the east is Satan, right? He defeated the gods, so powerful that even the Titans surrendered."

"Why should I believe in your Christianity?"

There are still nobles who are dissatisfied. They have conquered countless countries. In the past, the idea of ​​Christ was only believed by the bottom, and it was to fill the gap that slaves did not have the protection of the gods.

Now let them reform the religion, and feel angry for a while.

Athanasius said bitterly: "Satan was born in the East, and has had many images throughout the ages. It is an evil creed, the embodiment of human sin, but it is also created by the Lord, and it is the opposite that the Lord set up for himself."

"The man who conquered the underworld and overthrew the false gods of Rome is indeed the incarnation of Satan today, and he is indeed powerful and indestructible."

"But it is impossible for him to defeat the Lord, because he should be the most powerful angel of the Lord, but because of the arrogance and original sin of the human heart, the Lord led him to stand against himself."

"If you believe in him, you will be punished in hell!"

"Oh?" The smiles of the Roman nobles disappeared, will they go to hell if they don't believe it?
