Chapter 566 (2/2)
The people stopped running and looked at each other. Finally, they looked at the person who was still bleeding and dying on the ground.
Slitting your neck, seemed to be a solution.
After all, if they committed suicide, at least their souls wouldn’t be sent to hell.
They were all devout believers of the Orc gods, and these years, they had worked well for the gods. Even if they made little contributions, at least they worked hard. In any fashion, they would be brought to the God’s Kingdom.
However, in a flash, something that made them desperate happened.
A figure wearing a black robe and holding a scythe appeared next to the man who was about to die completely. The figure wielded the scythe and swiped through his body.
The scythe didn’t hurt his body, but it hooked onto his soul like a real hook, dragging his soul out of his body. His soul was like a specimen pinned by a needle.
The figure in the black robe with the scythe immediately disappeared with the hooked soul. During the whole process, he didn’t look at the people around him at all.
Even so, the gloomy chill that he left behind and the cold and solemn feeling that could make all the wicked people cringe clearly told them his identity.
He was the Soulbringer from hell. In the legends, Soulbringers were Oracles who would take the souls of the wicked bring them to hell before the messengers of their gods came.
“How… how can this be possible?!” a person yelled in panic. “We can’t even commit suicide?”
“Lord… Where is our Lord? He… he should… should send messengers to pick… pick us up,” another person stuttered out. Even his words were trembling.
It was not his fault. Whether they were being executed or committed suicide, they would eventually go to hell. Seeing that scene, they were desperate to the extreme.
Someone started to kneel on the ground and prayed in a low voice.
“Lord, who I serve, please pity me. Take my soul away so that I will not fall down to hell.”
So the other people copied him and started praying, but it was useless.
A moment later, Sui Xiong’s tentacles reappeared, taking a person away to the guillotine. He stated their crimes and declared their punishment—the death penalty.
Then, he cut off their head, and the Hell Messengers took their soul away.
Throughout the process, the Orc gods didn’t react at all.
In the Endless Field, Lefon, the Master God of the Orc God System, was watching the scene taking place in the mortal realm. He shook his head and sighed deeply.
He knew that this was only the beginning. It was only the beginning.
“Your Majesty, it won’t work like this!” a god advised. “Even if you don’t stop the Void Mask from arresting people and executing them, at least you should pick up the souls who commit suicide.”
“This time, the attitude of hell is very tough,” Lefon said, shaking his head. “Unless we want to fight with them, we can only give in this time.”
“But, the souls of the believers are our own property!” another god said angrily. “How can those hell guys reach into our bowls to grab our food!”
“Hell has always announced that all souls should accept fair trials after their death. They should be responsible for what they did during their lifetime. They have always condemned the actions of us gods. We set up God’s Kingdoms to pick up the souls of our believers. They think that is destroying the world order and rebelling against the Big Circulation. For this, we have fought a few times,” an old god said, sighing. “If we don’t give in this time, we will definitely fight one more time.”
“We can’t defeat them?” Lefon asked, looking around.
The gods meditated, and then someone whispered, “After leaving the underworld, the combat power of the hell guys will decrease.”
“But I bet as long as we fight with hell, the human gods will unite with Hell and attack us,” Lefon said calmly. “In that case, we will definitely lose.”
He said, sighing again, “Forget it. We still have a long future. The adverse effects of this time will sooner or later be eliminated over the years. After a hundred years, who will remember what happened this time?”
The Orc gods sighed and looked at each other without speaking.
