Book 7, Chapter 101: The Winter of the Gods

The Gods’ defeat had sealed the fate of Kun’s territory

This world, which was still isolated within the Barrier, was forcefully remodeled The system of faith was forcibly dismantled while the Gods squirreled the to survive on the little faith that their divine kingdoms still provided thein Realanizations of faith that they encountered

On Holy West Mountain

This ht

And after the Lord of Light had fallen, the Moon Goddess Mila had designated this location as one of her holy lands for worshi+ppers to congregate at

Countless geniuses had been produced at this location, and inheriting a church was always a blessing The records and writings contained here would not at all be out of place in a large library The artistic statues, oil paintings, and other aspects of the fine arts produced here were also innumerable

Even so, all of this was useless in battle The weakness and frailness of the worshi+ppers here had been fully exposed

Just outside the , sounds of battle could be heard, and thick plu the Fourteenth clung to the Moon Goddess Statue, gazing at the bloody slaughter unfolding before his very eyes

“Kill!”

Following this cry, a streak of sword light arced across the sky A young soldiera few tiround, co the Fourteenth softly called out to the soldier

That was his final re cavalryman Each and every one of them had been blessed by the Mother Goddess herself with astounding innate talent and potential These people were the ones destined to enter her divine kingdo in droves There was no guidance or protection to be found anywhere

The sound of rough footsteps and clangingthe Fourteenth knew that the enemies who had killed Mark were nearby

He didn’t raise his head, however, and instead chose to continue stroking Mark’s face gently as he reminisced, “He came to this temple when he was seven years old Even now, I still re student of the sword One ti session He felt incredibly guilty and asked me whether or not the Goddess would still approve of someone like him, who had hurt one of his co as he was truly repentant for his ive him and accept hiood child,” Iron Cliff rumbled as blood dripped down from his iron-like fists “I have killed quite a few like him already I wish that there was another way After all, I did give them the opportunity to surrender their faith and survive However, none of therew angry at Iron Cliff’s words “Even if we die, ill never abandon our faith And what right do you have to force us to disavow our faith? Freedoht that all residents of this land have”

“Well said!” Iron Cliff began to clap as he replied, “Freedo, but what about atheists? Are they still allowed to have free will?”

Jig’s mouth dropped open, and he was rendered speechless for so, “If I reht? It is treated even more harshly than heresy Is that also not a rule of your land? You refuse to allow others to becoion brought up then? Where was your sense ofthe Fourteenth couldn’t stop hi to tremble

This was a dark truth that the churches could not conceal Their treatreatest darkness that they had desperately tried to conceal behind the purported light of worshi+p

When they had been in power, no one had dared to point out the hypocrisy Noever, it had been dug up and fully exposed by Iron Cliff

Since the churches could slaughter atheists as they pleased, then the iht to do whatever they wanted to the churches as well

This was very logical after all

Iron Cliff did not personally coed to learn it nonetheless

Even then, so what if his viewpoint was unreasonable?

In this world, reason was decided by the strong in the first place

Ethical reasoning was typically superficial in nature Regardless of whether or not this thin veneer was present, what needed to be done would be done

Iron Cliff apathetically waved his hand “Burn it”

Waves of fla inferno

As he gazed at the flames, Iron Cliff let out a serous location would be the safest? Fire away!”

Hundreds of titan-Class puppets descended froround beneath they sla happened There was no energy shockwave frole stone was shattered

However, the space behind thefrom the fabric of space in that area

Finally, that area broke open due to the combined firepower of the titan-Class puppets

Boodom suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the sounds of pious chanting could be heard colanced at it before being taken aback “Hdom It’s the God of Discipline’s”

The God of Discipline, Cleo, was a prototypical low-tier God

Even though he was a low-tier God, Cleo’s combat poas not bad At the very least, he was h all of theer than Amelie

When Iron Cliff discovered that the God hiding on Holy West Mountain was not the Moon Goddess but rather the God of Discipline, he rubbed his head in confusion for a fewseemed to click for him, and he cracked a wry s one still means that we have one less to worry about”

Iron Cliff let out a long whistle Behind hian to confidently stride towards the divine kingdoht me, a God, with just a feeak Beasts?” Cleo’s disdainful voice thundered through the sky

If it was just a few Desolate Beasts, then there was no need for him to feel fear After all, he was alone and would not have to worry about drawing toothe surrounding Origin Energy too much
