I seem to be an evil god

The next day, a piece of news spread from the streets of the kingdom to the ears of every citizen. One of the largest cities in the kingdom, Lion City, was wiped off the map.

While everyone was speculating on the whole story, Liu Dao and Alfonso faced John's cross-examination in the academy.

"So, all this happened yesterday because of the Poseidon Cult?"

John stopped writing and looked at Alfonso and Liu Dao. Half an hour ago, he had heard the script compiled by Liu Dao and Alfonso from their mouths.

"Yes, the Poseidon Cult discovered Gaia's anomalies and took advantage of the Green Flame Cult's attack to launch an attack."

Alfonso nodded slightly, and Liu Dao added slightly angrily: "Yes, these guys launched a premeditated sneak attack on me and used many targeted methods."

"good."

John closed the notebook. In his mind, he was already convinced of Liu Dao's and the two's arguments. The rest had to wait until the on-site report came out to compare with the two's statements.

"Gaia, after everything you experienced yesterday, have you ever considered joining the Demon Hunting Guild?"

John changed the topic to Liu Dao.

"Your identity has been exposed now. The Poseidon cultists will not stop attacking you. You have personally experienced what happened last night. You are in danger now."

"This" Liu Dao looked embarrassed. Although he didn't speak, his refusal was obvious.

"Gaia, I know you won't answer this, but you must also consider your actual situation. Although you have a legendary level of physical fitness, you are really poor in spirituality. Eight masters can force you into this." Look, what if the Poseidon Sect sends out legends next time?"

"John, I have my own considerations."

Liu Dao interrupted John's persuasion, "Now I want to know more about the Demon Hunter Guild's attitude towards the Poseidon Cult and the Green Flame Cult."

"You should also know that the Green Flame cultists are invading this country. What are the Demon Hunter Guild's plans for this?"

Faced with Liu Dao's doubts, John was rarely silent. After a while, he whispered:

"I'm afraid not only us, but also the church will not take any action on this matter."

"Why? Shouldn't the church be the most averse to this kind of behavior that spreads faith?"

"This involves a lot of issues," John hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Daocai and said, "Since you asked, I will talk to you."

"Gaia, you have also joined the Demon Hunter Guild before. You should know that we demon hunters also believe in a god, the goddess of hunting. But have you noticed a problem? We rarely perform sacrifices to the goddess of hunting, and we don't It is mandatory for you to participate in the ceremony.”

Liu Dao frowned slightly, thinking of those days in Lion City. Yes, in the few months he became a demon hunter, he did not participate in a single prayer to the goddess of hunting.

"Why is this happening?"

"If you want to know the answer, you must first understand what the essence of faith is, so-called faith."

"Faith is an image." Liu Dao interrupted John, "I know this concept."

"It's easy to tell if you know that in the Middle Ages, after the Twilight of the Gods, only the original three pillars of the gods in the star world were left. All gods of faith were destroyed, and there was no longer any connection between humans and gods.

The Three Pillar Gods do not need human faith, nor do the remaining evil gods. The sects born in the era after the rise of the medieval holy kings are more like organizations than religions. "

"You are a little confused by what I said," Liu Dao narrowed his eyes, "You mean, the Light Church does not actually believe in the God of Light?"

"No! They are indeed an organization that believes in the God of Light, because the gods need impressions, and the church needs gifts from the gods.

But this belief is not profound. The relationship between the God of Light and the church's top leaders is more like two traders than believers and God. "

"I understand. Are you trying to say that the Church of Light actually doesn't care about belief in the God of Light?"

"You are right to say that. In fact, the decisions made by the Church of Light are based on profit as the fundamental goal, not faith. They can launch trials against other sects for a bag of gold coins, but they will not do so because of their faith. "

"If you say so, then heresy trials and various sectarian wars in past history"

"That is just a means for the Church of Light to expand itself. If it were not profitable to judge heretics, the church would not care how many other religions there are in the world."

Liu Dao took a deep breath. The news John revealed was shocking. The church was not a church, but an organization that gathered together in the name of gods.

Speaking of this, Liu Dao thought of Abigail.

"But John, the low-level religious personnel I met seem to have very pure faith in the God of Light, and aren't there still Originalists in the church?"

"It is impossible for low-level believers to know this fact. In fact, before the legend, I also thought that the Demon Hunting Guild believed in the goddess of hunting. As for the so-called original sect, it was their own professional needs that believed in Ragnarok. The same thing as before.”

Having said this, John showed a sarcastic look, "Originalists can only advance to the highest level of Legend. Unless they commit blasphemous acts, they will never be able to advance to Demigod. In the beginning, Originalists were still the mainstream of the church. , but as their power grew, the originalists no longer had power long ago.”

At this point, Liu Dao already knew what was happening, but Alfonso still asked: "John, you haven't told me yet why the guild and the church didn't take action."

John smiled bitterly at Alfonso, "Why do you need to get to the bottom of it?"

"I want to hear it from your own mouth." Alfonso's face was plain. Obviously, he already knew the reason.

John glanced at Alfonso helplessly and whispered: "The demigod covenant has long been agreed upon, and it is legitimate behavior for new demigods to spread their faith."

"Ha!" Alfonso sneered, "You talk so grandly, don't you think it's not worth starting a war with a demigod?"

"Hey, it's boring to say it." John smiled bitterly, glanced at Liu Dao regretfully, and said goodbye.

After John left, Liu Dao thanked Alfonso. Alfonso's questioning of John provided Liu Dao with an upright reason to refuse the Demon Hunter Guild's recruitment.

"Don't thank me. John won't give up. That's all before you were exposed. Now that you have been exposed, he will definitely spare no effort to recruit you."

Liu Dao nodded, he also understood this truth. As one of the three major forces, the Demon Hunter Guild must be prepared for dangerous elements like himself.

If not for the emergence of the Poseidon Sect, this recruitment might have appeared after Liu Dao graduated from the academy. Now that the Poseidon Sect has taken action, the subsequent turmoil will not stop.

And as time goes by, more and more forces will be interested in Liu Dao. Whether it is the Poseidon Cult or the Demon Hunter Guild, they may leak information about Liu Dao.

Regarding this issue, Liu Dao already had a new idea, but before implementing this idea, he had one more question to ask Alfonso.

"Alfonso, I want to know, Epic, how to advance to Demigod?"

After hearing this question, Alfonso was silent for a moment, and finally, he looked at Liu Dao.

"I can tell you the answer, but as a price, you have to do something for me."

"What's up?"

"Support Anna to take over the position of dean."
