Oops, I became the witch's substitute

The Water Maiden answered openly: "Of course I love everyone I meet, you are just the one I love the most right now."

Ah, this elf is beyond saving. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a scumbag.

As she spoke, the Water Priestess cut two oranges and tried to feed them to Fili, but Fili refused and ate them herself.

Fili felt that the only relationship between her and the Water Priestess was the rain-praying contract: "Are you so bored? Why are you here?"

The Water Priestess chuckled and said, "Too ruthless. Let's talk business. You have met Arius, right? Do you know his real purpose?"

What is the real purpose of the God? Of course, Fili would not say anything like investigating the ruins. Since the Water Priestess mentioned it, it must be something else. However, Arius neither sings and drinks, nor fakes his death to take a vacation. With too little contact and lack of information, Fili could only shake her head.

The Water Priestess seemed to be showing off her knowledge. As she spoke, she sat down next to Fili and took her hand: "Then let me tell you, no matter what he does, his core purpose is to protect his cradle."

Fili was very uncomfortable: "Cradle?"

The Water Maiden squeezed Fili's hand and said, "In fact, the gods that people can contact and communicate with are very similar to humans in nature. They become impure when they have thoughts, and they have some flaws when they have purposes. Arius's weakness is his cradle. When humans lived in caves, he guarded the cradle. When humans began to hunt and build villages, he guarded the cradle. Now that humans are everywhere, building cities and developing magic, he is still guarding the cradle."

Fili was puzzled: "Is the cradle of God so important to him?"

The Water Maiden fed Fili another orange: "To use an inappropriate analogy, have you ever blown up a dog bowl?"

Fili was stunned. Her eyes froze for two seconds, and then she saw the Water Witch dancing with joy. "We blew it up before. At that time, Sylph held the dog and I blew up the dog bowl. The dog barked non-stop and struggled like it was crying, trying desperately to get its own dog bowl back. In this sense, the cradle is such a dog bowl for Arius."

Fili didn't know where to start complaining: "I think you two don't have a very good relationship."

The Water Priestess said angrily, "He has a problem, like obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you have any relationship with him, he will repay you for your kindness and revenge you for your hatred. He will fight with anyone who touches his cradle, but he doesn't care about anything else. Also, two thousand years ago, star beasts landed in other countries nearby, but he refused every time we asked him for help. And that strange Bahamut landed near his cradle, but he sealed it with all his might and never planned to ask us for help."

Fili was a little surprised: "I think you guys are helping him this time..."

The Water Priestess waved her hands, "There's something wrong with this Bahamut. I tell you, he can't defeat him alone, so after you severely injured Bahamut, he gave you the greatest thanks. Of course, he also gave us some gifts. It's quite amazing to receive his gifts."

As he spoke, a gust of wind blew from the sky and the earth shook slightly.

The breeze turned into a wind spirit and landed lightly on the seat next to me: "Ah, have you started yet? This is... Fili?"

The stones on the ground condensed into a petite girl: "It's a witch."

The Water Witch put her arm around Fili's waist and pulled her in front of her: "That's right, let me introduce this incredibly beautiful contractor, Fili. Her singing is like the sound of nature, very creative, and her dancing is as graceful as plum blossoms in the spring rain and breeze, soft and powerful. Such a perfect witch is like a willow branch swaying in the wind, like a lotus floating on the water, do you understand?"

Sylph and Fu Kai simultaneously picked up the scented tea and took a sip, then glanced at each other.

Sylph said, "Even if you say so, I don't recommend you harass the witch. Whether you like it or not depends on Fili's opinion. Don't you think this child is troubled?"

The Water Maiden tilted her head: "Are you troubled?"

Sylph moved closer to Fili and squeezed against her. "She obviously finds you annoying. Well, Miss Fili, if you hate Undine, just tell us and we'll help you deal with her."

Fu Kai held the teacup in both hands: "You guys are out of your mind. Have you forgotten what we are here for this time?"

"It won't matter if we delay for a little while!" ×2.

Fili came out from between the two of them a little later and said, "Stop it, you guys really broke all my beautiful fantasies about elves. But since it's a commission from the current god, I'll just go and complete it. I also want to know what's wrong with the magic power of the earth veins under the mine."

Fu Kai stood up and was about to hold Feili's hand: "Then let's go without further delay. I am very good at sneaking underground."

Snap, the Water Priestess opened Fukai's hand, and Sylph also started to make a fuss. These elves couldn't keep quiet when they got together.

While they were playing, a powerful sacred aura suddenly emerged in the distance, like a torrent blowing up a strong wind in the forest. It was different from the landing of the star beast, but it was full of oppression. The location was probably near the wreckage of the star beast, as if announcing to the world that it was sacred and inviolable.

This sudden change stunned the four people present, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Sylph looked into the distance: "Is this country doomed? What's going on with this divinity? Could it be that a little god is finally coming to take what Arius doesn't want?"

Fili held her forehead and felt a little stressed. Workers can never find peace wherever they go. "I feel oppressed even from such a distance. It is completely different from Arius' gentle divine power. It is full of conquest and submission, which makes people feel like they are worshipping him."

Feeling that the matter was not simple, the four of them immediately rushed to the scene to check the situation.

At this time, the sect was in chaos. The Inquisition suddenly launched an attack. While the cathedral and the armed personnel of the Knights Templar were out, they attacked the camp and took the non-combat clergy as hostages.

At the same time, someone broke into Hodge's cell and brought the Holy Sword and Holy Armor over: "Master Brave, we are here to save you!"

Hodge looked at the guard who was killed at the cell door, and his tone finally changed: "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Whose orders did you receive? How come I know nothing?"

The mysterious death of the saint, Alex and others pointing the finger at himself after investigation, his inquisitors suddenly forcing him to rebel, and the fact that he was locked up but inexplicably rescued by these people.

The inquisitor said in a stern tone: "The cathedral has already determined your guilt. There is irrefutable evidence that you murdered Kors. Your divinity will be stripped from you. We all know that you are wrongly accused, so leave with us quickly. The high priest is waiting for you."

Hotch took a breath and quickly put on his equipment: "Okay, take me to see the High Priest. I also want to know what he is doing."

Still in that mysterious palace, the high priest turned his back to the main gate and looked up at the black-winged goddess statue crying blood: "The goddess of war, destruction, fertility, justice, death and revenge, Morrigan, will eventually replace the false god Arius and descend here."

Hodge looked nonchalant, and he was still carefree after arriving here: "Hey, old man, what are you up to? Did you kill that woman named Coles? What a waste."

The high priest slowly turned around and pointed the golden crystal in his hand at Hodge: "My child, I watched you grow up..."

Hodge interrupted him immediately: "Yes, after beatings, training, insults and elimination, I stood out from your forty adopted sons. In a sense, you really watched me grow up, so what?"

The high priest remained calm and said, "Nothing. So, let me tell you your true origin. Your parents are nobles from a neighboring country. They are viscounts and have a wealthy family. Your mother has the blood of a sorcerer. At that time, we realized that your talent was a waste. The power of God was stolen, so we decided to return it. So we bribed the coachman to make some accidents happen to the wheels of the carriage, and then your parents fell into the mountains easily. Even their bodies could not be found."

Hotch was stunned for a few seconds, then took a step forward: "You farted!"

The high priest seemed to have thought of something. "Have you ever wondered why your best friend in the monastery looks similar to you? That's right, among those eliminated by you was your own brother, your last relative in this world. And after that, you kowtowed to the person who destroyed your family. He was even my adopted son in name just now, kid."

Hodge was a young and irritable person. At this time, he had lost his mind. His strength and reason were close to going out of control. He drew his sword and rushed towards the high priest on the platform.

The almost materialized divine power dyed the entire hall pure white, and then there were traces of black shadows. Just when Hodge was about to kill the high priest, a terrible attraction emanated from the golden crystal, sucking away all his power.

The high priest grabbed his neck and said, "It's time to return the godhood you have nurtured with your body and mind to me, my dear adopted son!"

Hodge struggled unwillingly, but the more he struggled, the weaker his strength became. The golden crystal seemed to have life. As time went by, the breath of life in Hodge became weaker and weaker.

When heroes like them gain divinity, their lives become closely connected with it. The moment they lose it, that is the moment of their death.

Hodge felt it was ridiculous. He had lost the ability to think. He was a bad person and he was not even qualified for revenge.

A flash of sword light flashed in the sky, and Alex fell from the sky. He cut off the connection between Hodge and the crystal with a sword, then hugged Hodge and retreated to the main gate.

The high priest shouted angrily: "Alex!"

Alex drew out his ordinary longsword and said, "Urdan, you betrayed your sect, created a false god, and intended to murder the hero. Do you have anything else to say?"

The high priest raised the crystal, which was embedded in the statue of the black-winged goddess behind him: "I have nothing to say to you who believe in false gods."

The next moment, the goddess statue seemed to come alive. The stone skin on the surface began to fall off, and the eyes gradually opened. The goddess with black hair and black wings and cold eyes slowly raised her head and looked ahead.

Chapter 101 Jasmine

At present, the man-made god has just been born, and the beliefs that have nowhere to be stored in the Holy Kingdom are concentrated here. When the thousands of beliefs are truly gathered here and recognized by people, it is difficult to say whether this is a real god.

But to be honest, the moral standards of these people in the Inquisition still need to be lowered. If we say that the ancestors of the Holy Kingdom can be considered heroes, they created faith without faith, created religion without religion, and established a kingdom without territory.

But descendants do not value it very much, and morality is treated as worthless. Today they lose 50% and tomorrow they lose 100% and then they get a false god.

Alex held Hodge tightly, "Hodge, calm down, don't you realize that this guy is absorbing your hatred?"

Hodge was now extremely angry, his emotions were completely aroused and out of control: "Fuck it, I know, but how can I calm down, this bastard! I wish I could cut him into pieces!!!"

Even so, Urdan still wanted to add fuel to the fire: "The reason why I indulged you until today is to let your fragments of the godhead absorb enough desires. Now make up for the last hatred and anger. Your feelings of revenge are the best nutrients for the goddess Marian."

Hodge was furious: "You want my godhead fragment, right? Then I will use all my strength to blow it into pieces, and we will die together. You beast, you are not even as good as me!"

Alex had no choice but to grab Hodge. Only at this moment did he agree with Hodge's words. Then he carefully observed the high priest Urdan. The other party was not a simple person.

As the oldest high priest in the Inquisition, he has been a hero for hundreds of years. His accumulation so far is unimaginable and his abilities are very special, otherwise it would be impossible for him to create a false god.

As for the false god behind him, he is even more mysterious. This is why Alex dare not act rashly. On the surface, the other party has the ability to absorb divine power. I don't know whether this absorption is aimed at Hodge, or whether it can absorb the power of other people as well.

Alex is not afraid of fighting and death, but he does not want to become the enemy's food because of his impulse. Now it seems that he has underestimated the ambition of the Inquisition, and now he should retreat.

Urdan continued, "Alex, do you know how Kors died? We wrote a letter in your name to lure her to a remote place."

Alex's emotions remained unchanged, and now he was more confused: "I am more confused, High Priest Urdan, do you still remember your original intention when you first joined the sect?"

Urdan gritted his teeth as he spoke the next words: "Original intention? To cure illnesses and save lives? To promote justice? I persisted for forty years, until that war, when forty thousand of my men died from forbidden magic. Their bodies were nowhere to be found, and their souls could not rest in peace. In the end, they did not even have a chance to seek justice, because we had no real gods and no power to win dignity."

Alex asked, "Is it right to do whatever it takes, sacrifice the innocent, and become like those who violated the taboo?"

Urdan said firmly, "Of course it's worth it. Who do you think will care about right and wrong? In another hundred years, when our country has the protection of the true God and achieves a glorious moment, people will not remember that today, a despicable villain killed his compatriots and framed the brave man to create the true God. Alex, power is the foundation of existence in this world!"

Alex nodded. "You are partially right, but I don't agree with the small part of the reason why you are hateful. You and your ambition will not succeed, and the false god you created will not become our god. Humans should rely on themselves."

Urdan shook his head. “How ridiculous! The limits of talent and the boundaries of power. Just like I cannot achieve godhood, you will never understand the power of a true god.”

As the two men talked, a voice from behind Urdan interrupted their conversation.

"Enough, it's really noisy." The goddess named Marian raised her head. Her black hair was like the starry sky, with faint flashes on the surface. There were different scenery from different angles, and there seemed to be a galaxy in the depths. "Human faith is also human desire. You created me with human desire. It's really interesting."

Urdan stepped aside and half-knelt beside Marian: "Goddess..."

Marian glanced at him and smiled strangely: "Your name is Urdan, right? You used the fragments of the godhead that condensed faith and the magic power gathered from this land vein to create me, hoping to protect this country with the power of God, right?"

Urdan bowed his head and said, "Yes, please show me your grace."

Marian's eyes lit up slightly: "How is it possible to do this? But it's okay if you must do it. Come, enter eternity with me!"

As Marian spoke, the entire ground began to shake. The powerful divine power spread from this area, aiming to cover the entire Holy Kingdom. A reflection of the ground appeared in the sky.

This brought misfortune to the nearby legions and the people fighting for the star beasts, as all of them were suddenly covered by the divine domain.

Marian raised her hand, and a black obelisk rose from the ground in front of her. Many meteors floated in from all directions and entered the obelisk. They were human souls. The obelisk shot beams of light into the sky, connecting to the reflection of the divine realm.

Many people lost consciousness before they understood what had happened, and then found themselves in a new environment as if nothing had happened.

Those who fought each other suddenly discovered that no matter how hard they fought, the dead would be resurrected.

More and more people are arriving in a brand new world after a brief trance.

For eternity.

Urdan suddenly felt a little panicked: "Wait, wait a minute, goddess, this..."

"You go too."

The next moment, Marian waved her hand, and Urdan's head was completely wiped off. The headless body rolled down the steps, and blood spread.

After doing all this, Marian felt better than ever before: "Oh, I am so tired. This way, I can fulfill their long-cherished wish and live comfortably in this world where only life exists. Protecting them really makes me tired."

Alex: “…”

Hodge: “…”

Jasmine felt at ease: "What are you looking at? I am more noble, transcendent, more outstanding and more powerful than everyone present, but I was created by humans, born from the remnants of your beliefs, and then I will be bound by you and become your god, busy forever without seeing the sun, serving your so-called justice and happiness. Isn't this absurd?"

The two heroes didn't know what was happening, but they could see many souls and the pressure of divine power.

Marian's voice was cheerful. "Of course I will keep my promise, because I am your God. God must love his people and protect his beliefs. With this country as the stage, I will lead you to eternity. But I don't intend to be a nanny and take good care of you in this world. I just want to protect you in the end. In addition, I want to have happiness, which is something that gods should not and cannot have, but you vulgar mortals can easily pursue. Yes, I want to live freely."

Hodge felt unprecedentedly melancholy and depressed. The death of his enemy made it impossible for him to release his gloomy mood, and he almost suffocated to death.

312⑧14139

"I really don't understand what a god is." Alex took a step forward, "... Go away, I have to defeat this false god."

Marian looked at Alex with interest: "You are my heroes, my protectors, come and embrace me?"

During the conversation, Marian tilted her head slightly and suddenly felt that the expansion of the divine domain had stopped. However, she became more interested: "Huh? Another god? Could it be my kind?"

Because someone was going crazy at this time. It was the present god Arius. His whole body, oh, the whole god was vomiting. Bahamut had just been carried away, so how come another present god who had accumulated hundreds of millions of beliefs appeared?

Originally, he didn't care what the sect members did to him, even if they tortured him to death, he wouldn't feel sorry. But the new divine domain was covering his cradle, so Arius had no choice but to expand his own divine domain to fight back. Fortunately, the other party was a newcomer and not very experienced in the use of divine power, so he was able to restrain himself.

"Now! Cooperate with me!" Alex rushed forward with his sword.

Hotch was stunned for half a second, then gritted his teeth and followed.

The battle started quickly.

Outside, the situation is very bad now.

Fili felt that the Holy Nation was courting death. When they returned to the church headquarters, the defenders who were still alive and kicking were now lying on the ground. All of them below the Transcendents were dead, without exception, because they had no souls.

The few people who were still able to move were frantically checking the cause. Fili grabbed an expedition knight and asked, "What happened?"

The expedition knight was filled with grief and indignation: "I don't know, but it must be the work of the Inquisition. They created some kind of ritual!"

You see, the Knights had no doubt that it was the witch who was behind this, and the power in the distance had already appeared. The sky was now a reflection of the earth, and it was exactly the same land. The only difference was that the people in the same position in the sky were still moving. They were at a loss because of the sudden change, and the two parties could even look at each other.

"This is the divine domain, the true power of theocracy." The Water Priestess left Fili behind and called her two friends, "I've been telling you, humans are such a nuisance. They've been causing trouble again in just a few days. If we don't do anything about it, won't it be embarrassing for us? Fukai, Sylph, let's go. Fili, wait here, don't move around. We'll be back soon."

Isn’t it easy for three elves to defeat one god?

Fili was about to say something, but she couldn't help because she was just a clone with limited power. Then she thought about how strong the Water Priestess was, so it should be okay, right? Wait, since Fili was a clone, what was there to be afraid of? Just go and watch the show and see what the Inquisition did.

In fact, the situation was worse than expected. As the saying goes, a young and strong man is better at fighting. Arius had already been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Bahamut. He was not so miserable that he had little blood left, but at least he had only half blood left to survive. Now he was facing a young and energetic new god and was almost killed by the newcomer.
