I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 20: The Debate on Good and Evil (Please Read)

Alvin just stopped and looked for a while, and was about to leave.

"My nameless adventurer, you are cursed. Do you need my help?"

A gentle and pleasant female voice was heard from inside the church door.

As the sound appeared, Alvin felt that the magical elements of light in the surrounding world began to become active.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in her early twenties with an attractive appearance. She was wearing a black corset, a red miniskirt and black stockings, and golden plate armor with a cross mark on it. She was tall and proud, with short golden hair and an aura of holiness. She walked out from behind the door.

When Alvin saw this woman who exuded a holy aura, he instinctively used his detection spell and discovered that she was level 50.

Considering that the other party is a human being, and her age looks to be just in her early twenties or less than 30 years old, to possess such strength, she is definitely a woman with terrifying talent on the path of theology, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.

Considering that the other party lived in this church, Alvin guessed that this woman was a high-ranking clergyman stationed in the church in the Sgri area and also the person in charge of this church.

"No need, for me this is both a curse and a blessing."

Seeing that the other party did not attack him right away, Alvin did not deliberately tease or embarrass the woman.

You must know that even the most powerful top priests in the continent of Alande cannot lift Kazan's curse.

Allowing some weaker clergy to try to lift the spell and confront Kazan directly is no less than deliberately murdering others.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Grandia Grandoa, a clergyman and currently the head of this church."

When Gloria heard that the other party knew it was a curse but did not regard it as a disaster, a trace of surprise appeared on her face. Then she came to five meters away from Ivan, put her right hand on her chest and politely introduced herself.

"Hello, my name is Ivan and I'm a ghost swordsman."

Alvin felt the other party's politeness and responded.

"Your self-introduction is quite interesting. It seems that you know exactly where the unknown evil curse on your left hand comes from, but you don't regard it as a problem."

Upon hearing this, Galanthia took a look at Ivan and found that he was indeed very strong, with obvious abdominal muscles. The muscles in his left and right hands were also extremely obvious, showing signs of regular exercise. However, he did not look like a swordsman, but rather a fighter who was good at hand-to-hand combat.

Normally speaking, with the strength of a body like this, the level cannot reach above level 1, and it is impossible for it to be just the LV given to her by the detection technique.

This was already a point that made her confused, and the other party called himself a ghost swordsman, as if he had found the direction of cultivation.

"Except for some extreme powers, most powers have no good or evil distinction. It just depends on how the user acts."

"For example, for your church, the power bestowed by God is considered a blessing, but for some people who are naturally repelled by holy power, isn't it a different kind of curse?"

Upon hearing this, Alvin felt the holy aura released by this woman invisibly, but he did not feel uncomfortable. He just spoke slowly in response to what the other party said.

"Mr. Ivan, you have a unique view on power. You are right. God's blessing is indeed a curse for some evil creatures."

Galanthia's strength was not top-notch in the church, but she had already stepped into the ranks of high-ranking clergy, and she was well-read and had her own opinions on many things. In response to Ivan's words, she poked her face with her hand, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Goodness and evil cannot be determined solely by whether one can receive blessings."

"Many times, the so-called good and evil are just because of their different standpoints."

"In the eyes of some creatures that you regard as your mortal enemies, perhaps you are the evil one."

Although Alvin and this woman are both at level 50 now, he is confident that this woman will not last more than ten moves under his hands.

The reason why it was an estimate rather than an assertion was because he did not yet understand the priest's training system and the power they possessed.

If he knew the main means that the other party relied on, he could judge the difference in strength specifically and then determine how big the difference in strength between the other party and himself is.

"Perhaps good and evil are really as you said, Mr. Irving."

"But from my point of view, our church needs to eliminate the demons, undead, and various monsters that are wreaking havoc on the world and restore peace to ordinary people." Galanthia thought about what she heard but did not refute it, and her belief remained unshakable.

"Some monsters and demons do need to be eradicated."

"But since you are the person in charge of this church, when you teach new people, in addition to teaching them abilities, you must also remember to teach them how to be human beings."

"Otherwise, we would go too far and regard all demons and monsters, even those creatures that have never brought disaster to the world, as enemies that must be killed."

"Even if you are clergy, you will bear the sin of killing."

"This church of yours has been saddled with blood."

"I don't know whether it was you or another clergyman in the church who did it."

"But if you don't correct it in time, when the blood sin accumulates to a certain extent, it will inevitably bring disaster to you."

As Alvin spoke, he looked up at the church behind Galandia.

He has now awakened from a Berserker into a Blood Hell Demon, and with the ability of Blood Memory, he can more intuitively see whether things are burdened with blood sins.

This woman, Galanthia, exudes a holy aura from her entire body, without the slightest trace of blood.

There could be several reasons for this.

The first type is that Galanthia belongs to the knowledge theory school and is only responsible for learning and teaching, not fighting.

The second reason is that Galanthia is truly a pious and kind-hearted priest, and what she did was truly directed at certain monsters and people who were burdened with deep sins, and she did not commit any in vain killings.

The third type is Galanthia, where God’s blessing helped cover the sin of killing.

But no matter which one it is, in Ivan's eyes, the clergy definitely does not always represent the right profession.

"Blood sin? Do you mean sin?"

When Galanthia heard these words, she turned around and looked at the church where she lived, but she did not see the vassal of sin. However, the other party said that he saw it. For a moment, she did not know whether she was a clergyman or the other party was a clergyman.

"It's just a different name. Not all souls are vengeful spirits, and not all monsters are truly evil."

"Evil people are those who possess different powers and use their power to do all kinds of shameful and dirty things."

"Clergy are human beings too, aren't they?"

Hearing this, Alvin nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"We are human beings, of course, but we have the most devout faith, and we can only be blessed after being examined and affirmed by God."

Gloria did not refute at first, but when she heard the other party questioning the priest, she refuted with an extremely firm tone.

"People may be pious when they first gain power, but aren't there many who choose to fall after gaining power?"

"In my eyes, a clergyman is essentially a profession that possesses some kind of powerful power. The recognition within your church or the recognition of God is nothing but illusion in my eyes."

"Because in my eyes, God is just a creature that possesses greater power."

"Since it is a living being, it will make mistakes and sometimes make mistakes."

Alvin has mastered the GSD panel, and once his acting skills reach a certain level, killing gods will not be a difficult task in his eyes.

It is naturally impossible to expect him to have infinite reverence for God and regard him as the representative of absolute correctness.

In the future, when he is strong enough, he will not meddle in the affairs of those gods unless they provoke him, but if they provoke him, he does not mind killing a god.
