Chapter 688 The day of judgment comes

The sky and the earth were spinning, and the surrounding space was slowly changing. I don’t know when the king of kings passed away quietly and no longer appeared in front of Iden’s eyes.

Eden gasped for air.

He opened his eyes and found that he was somehow in a pagan city.

"Is what just now...an illusion?"

Eden fell to the ground and touched his face.

Not so long ago, in the darkness where the future meets the present, the King of Kings revealed himself once again.

He seemed to have said something to him and shown something, but Eden couldn't remember it clearly now, as if it was buried in the deepest part of his soul.

The words of my king and the feelings in the darkness have dissipated and are difficult to capture. Only vague impressions and fragmented pictures remain in my mind.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Eden was in the future.

"What's going on..."

Eden murmured helplessly.

He couldn't figure out whether the king of kings had let him go, or whether...

"No, there is no way He would let me go..."

Eden's legs shook.

After a while, the priest clasped his hands together and begged:

"Lord, do not abandon me."

In this city, there is no sign that can be called a response, and the God in the sky seems to be still silent.

When thinking of this, Eden felt another chill.

"Am I abandoned?"

Eden felt an unspeakable sadness.

In a daze, he seemed to remember those words in the darkness.

["You have actually become my prophet."]

Eden shuddered.

Does this sentence mean that I have actually turned away from God?

I have turned my back on God, so God has abandoned me…

Eden looked at the pagan city in front of him, and looked around the bustling streets from a high place. It seemed that it was almost dusk, and he felt a sense of loss in a daze. His original faith seemed to be irrelevant. There was always a time when the branches and leaves were separated from the trees. But when I came back to my senses, I felt like I was shivering when the cold wind blew by.

Eden rubbed his hands and breathed into them. He kept reciting his favorite scripture, but the latter no longer seemed to have the power to calm himself down.

"Don't, don't think about this..."

Eden pressed his forehead, and then turned his gaze to himself.

The legacy of Solamius fell into his eyes.

Suddenly, he was furious.

"You encouraged me to come here!"

Eden grabbed the sword and said reproachfully,

"But what about you? Why didn't you show up then?"

Eden still has some impressions,

The tip of the sword of Legacy of Thoramus dropped slightly, and the light flickered slightly. It looked like he was apologizing to Iden, but Iden was still angry and vented all his grievances on it.

Eden suddenly threw the sword to the ground, then pointed at it and cursed, then kicked it away with his foot, kicking the sword far away, then turned around and walked away without looking back. He was furious for a moment. Headed.

After walking a section or two and turning two streets, Eden felt something, turned around and found the sword following his heels.

The long sword hangs low on the tip, like a person who is dejected. It seems to have a soul. In the scriptures, God has given souls to thousands of creatures, and angels are born from the spirit of God. It is said that they also have souls. Similar abilities.

Eden sighed. After hesitation, he realized that he could not get rid of the sword. With a complicated mood, he put the long sword back into the scabbard.

This sword belongs to Solamus, and Solamius... has a close relationship with my king. I want to get rid of it, but I can't get rid of it. Is this confirming that I can never avoid my king? The king cannot escape his destined fate.

Eden's mood was complicated, and he forgot to change his clothes for a moment.

He walked onto the street like this, and when he raised his head, he noticed the strange looks in the eyes of the pagans around him.

How should I describe this look?

Doubt, hatred, and a joy beyond sacrifice.

It was only at this time that Eden realized that he was wearing the clothes of a true believer, and there was an obvious sign of the true religion on the left chest - the circle of truth that symbolized the Garden of Laws.

"That's stupid."

"Maybe I just grabbed a piece of clothing?"

"No, that must be a dull person. If he is also a believer, how could he not know?"

"That is the 'son of foolishness' who will be destroyed, the 'seed of sin.' The scripture says, "The greatest evil is knowing the King of my king and foolishly denying Him."

The pagans communicated without scruples. While they talked about their faith, they surrounded Iden in unison. The fanaticism spread quietly without inciting.

Eden realized something was wrong and immediately turned away, chanting ancient sayings.

In an instant, Iden's figure disappeared in front of the pagans.

The sudden change set off a burst of exclamations. The pagans were first frightened, and then fanatical belief took over. They shouted loudly and cursed.

"This must be the devil's method!"

"The prophecies in the Bible are true. The time of judgment has come, and the devil has come among the people!"

"This is indeed an idiot!"

The pagans shouted, and then, unknown who led them, they sang a hymn. The assembled voices sounded sacred and solemn, and the song kept repeating:

"We will fight at the end of the sky and the ocean. These days of evil desires will finally come to an end!"

Eden listened to this in the dark. He took off his coat, then entered a certain mansion relying on ancient words, took off a piece of clothing from it, and put down some coins to compensate. “Why are the people here... so fanatical?”

Having once been a priest, Eden understood that people's faith is like waves, rising up and calming down, rising and falling. Just as the rising of waves depends on the strong wind, people's enthusiasm also depends on external objects. .

In order to understand this, Eden changed his clothes and found a pagan at random. Out of caution and to understand the whole thing, Eden knocked the pagan unconscious, dragged him into an alley, and Using the ancient saying "possession", he sneaked into the latter's body and browsed his memories.

It turned out that Azabel in the Temple of Kings made a prophecy dozens of days ago.

This prophet-like figure, who enjoys a sacred status in paganism, announces to all believers in our King that judgment is coming and that all who believe must prepare for that day.

All the pagan countries became excited about this, and countless pagans cried with joy when they learned about this. They regarded it as the end of everything, and thought that our King was about to do all the injustice, unrighteousness, and unbelief in the world. After a fair and ingenious verdict, the craze of faith surged again. Inspired by this, the pagan countries launched a new round of holy war. Their troops were not only aimed at true believers, but also at believers of other faiths.

Holy war not only broke out outside the pagan kingdom, but also broke out within the kingdom. The pagans began to spontaneously wield the butcher knife against other believers, especially true believers, even ignoring the shackles of the law, and those in power also deliberately acquiesced. Or to encourage this situation, just last month, the city under my feet broke out an attack on true believers. Pagans armed with pitchforks, shovels, wooden sticks and even spoons were on the streets. He beat more than 20 True believers to death and raped many True believer women.

Eden looked at these memories and had mixed feelings for a moment.

At the beginning, he was hostile and contemptuous towards the pagans, but after all these experiences, his thoughts on the pagans changed. He no longer felt that these people were hateful, nor did he think that they were inherently depraved. , even so, because of this, Eden's emotions feel indescribably complicated.

Even if people can understand that the world is not black and white, how many people can always view the world this way.

Eden took a deep breath, he didn't want to think about this for the moment.

"Judgment is coming, Azabael...the messenger of the King of my kings!"

"Get ready for that day!"

“It’s a day that faith is confirmed, it’s a day that faith is confirmed.”

...............................

There are various voices in the streets and alleys. The pagans are celebrating, looking forward to, and longing for the arrival of that day. When the end comes, all the ugly and depraved things will be destroyed.

Such a sound reached Eden's ears, and the priest couldn't help but speed up his steps. He wanted to escape from this place quickly, but the sound always crossed one alley and chased and blocked him in another.

Eden's breathing quickened.

"Calm down and think about what to do next and how to stop the big miracle."

Eden pressed his temples to calm himself down, and then turned his attention to the city's Lecture Hall.

Where else can you find the cure for great miracles except in the Lecture School.

As he walked across the street, he did not move away from the voices celebrating the coming of the judgment. Instead, he got closer and closer to those voices. It seemed that he was about to enter the judgment, and it seemed that the judgment was about to enter him.

Many people crowded outside the Lecture Hall, and the crowds crowded the slopes. They came here either to pray, to ask for scriptures, or to celebrate. This pagan city was boiling with their voices. It seemed to be burning, and the fire was soaring into the sky.

"The Holy Servant is coming! The Holy Servant is coming!"

"Not just one, but four holy servants, they are all coming!"

"They say the Messenger is among us!"

There was an exclamation from somewhere in the crowd, and the crowd became more excited. They cheered loudly, and soon they sang hymns in unison. If this fanatical scene happened to a true believer, Eden would be immersed in it. , but if it happens to these pagans, Eden will only shiver constantly.

"A day to destroy evil!"

"A day of righteousness!"

"It's time to destroy the temples of the stupid and the heretics!"

....................................

The fanatical chanting increased as the news came one after another in the lecture hall. These people who believe in our king are celebrating the arrival of that day. They hold high words of kindness, justice, piety and even all praises, and trample on them. Referring to sin, injustice, unbelief and even all derogatory words, they danced wildly in the wind like reeds, holding their heads high, "The time has come, the days are full." They said, "Sin is placed before my God, and history welcomes us today. Come and end it!" When that day comes, they will also be pressed to stand trial, but they will go to the execution ground singing loudly.

Eden felt in a daze that although the sky was bright at dusk, the darkness from the intersection of the future and the present would instantly envelope this pagan holy city. After darkness, light would eventually shine. This is true for both true believers and pagans. They all think so. The only difference is that pagans look forward to the arrival of darkness, because the arrival of darkness heralds the approach of light the next day.

“You will find no way out of the world except through judgment.”

In his ears, a voice came from a trance.

Eden turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one around him.

His hands trembled.

Is it the king of my kings?

still…

The voice in my heart?

Eden felt fear after realizing it. No matter what kind of fear it was, as he expected, the King of Kings did not let him go just like that.

Cheers from all over the mountains and plains swept the city. People happily welcomed the arrival of the holy servants and waited for the pale rain to fall from the sky, but Eden only felt cold and shivering.

"They are cheering, they are celebrating...and I...may be the messenger they say."

Eden thought this way,

"The holy servants are coming... I should... escape from here."

The priest was very scared, and panic invaded him. He wanted to escape from this city and escape from here to another place, but at this time, he couldn't help but ask himself: Is escape really useful? Can he really escape?

The whole land fell into the control of the King of Kings, and He did not let me go, even if I could escape, from this city to that city, from this mountain to that mountain, from the east to the other. The sky fled to the western sky, but so what, it was just escaping from His left eye to His right eye.

During this process, I have nothing to rely on, nothing to rely on, not even prayer...even prayer is useless...

As a priest, Eden had to admit with difficulty that prayer was useless. God seemed to have abandoned him because he was actually a pagan prophet.

"do not care…"

Eden looked at the crowds coming and going, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Instead of sitting here and worrying, it would be better... to do nothing without stopping, and when the Holy Servant arrives, he will directly acknowledge his identity as the envoy!"

This extremely bold idea appeared in the priest's mind, and even he was frightened.

Does directly recognizing one’s identity as a messenger mean completely abandoning the Lord? Does it mean a break with faith? All these questions were thrown away by Eden. He took a few deep breaths and his mind was racing.

"Anyway... there is no other way. Let's just do this and seize the initiative."

Eden thought about it carefully and seemed to feel that this idea was the only feasible one at the moment.
