I Am God!

Moonlight City.

After everything was over, the city began to count the casualties.

A small-scale black rain from the abyss caused a large number of people to disappear. Some turned into monsters, some were swallowed by monsters, and some disappeared in the chaos. Even Anu's Guards Corps There were also many casualties.

The square in the center of the city became a place for rescuing the wounded, and there were wailings everywhere.

A large number of corpses of ordinary snake-men city residents and Guards Legion soldiers were lined up; among them were earth-traveling beast demon knights, temple attendants, and even the corpses of lizard-man demon knights could be seen.

at the same time.

More corpses were constantly being carried from afar and placed on the square.

Anu saved the city, but he could not save everyone in the city.

Anu's cloak became torn during the battle, and he looked a little embarrassed. He walked past the corpses, most of which he didn't recognize.

But when he reached the area where the corpses of the Guardsmen were placed, he immediately stopped.

He knew every face here, and those familiar faces not only represented the death of a person, but also represented that the soldiers under his command had completely transformed from a living person into a gray memory in the depths of his mind.

Looking at the faces that were full of blood and even mutated, various images kept emerging in Anu's mind.

"Regiment of the Guards, are you protecting His Majesty the King?" Anu saw the young man with closed eyes at his feet. He was a soldier he had personally recruited from the Meiya Province.

"That's so glorious." Anu went further and saw the young man's younger brother. The two brothers joined the Guards Corps together. Anu saw that even his younger brother died in the battle, and he couldn't help but close his eyes instantly. Eye.

"Lord Anu, you are a noble Lord." He couldn't bear to look directly, turned his head and saw a dead lizard man, which was one of the companions he brought from the volcanic forest.

"Commander of the Guards, this is a big shot in the kingdom." All the lizardmen were very happy at first, with hope in their eyes.

"Demon Knight, I also want to become a Demon Knight." Anu walked forward, lowered his body and brushed away the hair of a corpse. Underneath was a very young boy; that was a man who had been practicing hard in Anu's memory. , trying to become a soldier of the Demon Knight.

As he watched, Anu's eyes turned red little by little.

There was no more joy in protecting the city in his heart.

"They didn't deserve to die."

"A lot of people didn't deserve to die and this is not where they should be buried."

Anu stood in the center of his companion's body, looked back at the corpses scattered across the square, and swallowed.

When he spoke again, his voice became hoarse for some reason.

"Droughts, floods, famines, plagues, these are natural disasters that we cannot avoid."

"But this is not a natural disaster, it is a sin brought about by human desires and ambitions."

The other Guardsmen behind him looked at Anu, watching his voice change from calm, distressed, and finally to anger.

"Lord Kormis brought the brown bulb vine to this world. He did not want to see famine reappear. He was saddened by the hardships of people under natural disasters and did not want to see the evil of cannibalism again. .”

"But what did those people do after they were full?"

"They provoked wars, betrayed the kingdom, and colluded with the Abyss Cult. They are no longer human beings, and they are no longer worthy of living."

Anu immediately ordered several teams of earth-piercing beasts among the Guards Legion soldiers under his command to immediately assemble to arrest the nobles who had colluded with the Abyss Order.

There was movement inside and outside the city, and everyone knew that the Moonlight Province was about to change.

At this time, a figure rushed over from a distance.

The other party was very fast, as if he was rushing here from a long distance, and finally landed on the city wall.

And Anu felt something and turned to look at the city wall in the distance.

Seeing the bloody power surging on the person's body, he recognized the other person's identity.

"The oldest."

"Godly species."

The three-leaf symbiote stood on the city wall and looked at the situation in the city: "Is it over?"

Finally, his eyes were fixed on Anu. He rushed over as soon as he received the news from afar. Unexpectedly, when he rushed over, someone had already solved the problem: "Did you do it?"

Anu quickly came to the city wall and nodded: "Yes."

The other person said in admiration: "Well done."

Anu opened his mouth, and his eyes suddenly changed.

He said: "Good job?"

Anu didn't know why there was a surge of anger in his heart. Maybe it was because he had just been affected by the aura of the abyss, or maybe because he felt that what the other party said was too understatement.

"You came all the way here just to say this, well done?"

"It's almost like that everyone in Moonlight City will be gone, and many people will die."

"If I hadn't just happened to be here, hadn't I just been able to borrow Lord Kurmis's power, would this disaster have just erupted like this?"

"As the Scarlet Goddess, you are the protector of Suinhor, and as the favored one of the gods in the world, don't you feel that you have failed in your responsibility?"

Anu felt that the Suinhor people dedicated their faith to the Scarlet Goddess, and the Scarlet Goddess should protect them from being eroded by the abyss.

Those poor people should not turn into monsters and die like this.

The other party replied: "I came here just following the will of the gods."

The gods in the world cannot pay attention to what is happening on this continent all the time. The so-called omniscience and omnipotence are just the imagination of mortals.

The power of gods also has limits, and they need to use a medium if they want to come to the world.

Anu said: "Do you always arrive after everything is over?"

Three-Leaf Symbiote: "It depends on how far away we are."

Anu said: "So, what the holy scriptures say about God blessing the world depends on how far you are."

"So, God cannot protect the world at all, and the promises in the holy scriptures are just empty words."

"Mortals have dedicated everything to you, and they call your name in despair."

"But when mortals need your protection the most, you can only watch them fall into darkness and despair."

Indeed, a god might be able to do such a thing if he spread all his power in every corner.

But this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. There are also conflicts between gods, and gods also have enemies.

Gods also have things that need to be focused on, and their power needs to be distributed to various places. It is impossible to pay attention to the human world all the time.

The other party looked at Anu and asked him: "Are you angry with the gods?"

Anu said nothing because what the other person said was the truth.

He was a little out of control.

It’s just that he doesn’t understand why such things keep happening one after another under God’s protection.

The other party asked him again: "What is a god in your eyes?"

"What God wants is the continuation of civilization and the future of civilization. God has indeed done this. He has fulfilled his promise to mortals."

"If every small disaster and every small crisis of mortals requires God to save them."

"If gods would satisfy every request of mortals."

"So is He a mortal god, or a mortal tool?"

"He cannot satisfy all the needs of mortals. He also has other more important things to do."

Anu looked at the other party. Although he understood what the three-leaf symbiote meant, he still found it difficult to accept it.

"A minor disaster?"

"Minor crisis?"

"So the fall of a city, the death of thousands of people, is not important to civilization, to God."

"But have you ever thought about what you see as an inconspicuous little disaster or a small crisis?"

"It is the pain that thousands of people cannot forget and eradicate, and it is the eternal darkness of thousands of living beings."

Three-Leaf Symbiote: "God is not a machine or a tool."

"God can only be God in his own eyes, not in your eyes."

But Anu remembered what the scarlet goddess said: "The gods also have their own desires, and the gods also have their own positions."

At first he seemed to understand, but now he has fully realized it.

Gods also have positions and purposes. Everything they do is planned, not according to the needs and expectations of mortals.

Although he didn't dare to say it out loud, he actually didn't like such a god in his heart.

Because he is human.

The gods he longed for were all as kind as Kurmis, who loved lizards and snakes and was willing to give everything they had for mortals.

He and Anu looked at each other, and then gradually disappeared on the city wall.

Anu watched the figure of the Ancient One leave, and a new perception suddenly came to his heart.

"God cannot save everyone. Sometimes people have to save themselves."

At this time, his deputy commander came over: "That is God's favored one. Commander Anu, you should not talk to him like this."

Lizardman Anu was a little confused: "When I was young, the divine attendants in the temple always preached on the streets."

"He said, God so loved the world."

"It is written in the holy scriptures that if you think something in your heart, God will repay you."

"I really believed it, and our whole family believed it."

"But gradually I discovered that this is not the case. Only those who are in suffering truly believe in this, and those high-ranking figures do not actually believe it."

"Even the divine servants who told us this may not have taken it seriously."

Anu lowered his head, seeming to remember the old things in the slums.

"But people who were in despair, people who had nothing, took it seriously."

Deputy Commander: "The world in your eyes is too ideal. This is impossible."

Anu said: "But I like that ideal world."

Anu looked at the matte sword in his hand, raised it high, and drew a crescent sword light in the sky.

Finally, he made a gesture like a knight raising his sword, stood upright, and spoke to the deputy commander.

"Lord Kormis said that to become stronger, only by becoming stronger can you protect what you want to protect."

"I didn't understand it before, but today I suddenly understood it."

"If I don't have power, I can only sit back and watch the destruction come, just like Master Kurmis, and I can do nothing."

"With power, I can protect my hometown and Lord Kurmis."

“Only with power can ideals become reality.”

Anu looked at the deputy commander: "What do you think?"

The deputy commander shook his head: "I don't know."

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have the power to turn my ideals into reality."

"No, I don't even have the courage to turn my ideals into reality."

The deputy commander shrugged: "Changing reality and the world is not something a mortal like me can do."

Anu opened his mouth, and he suddenly realized that his thoughts were different from ordinary people. He dared to think about things that ordinary people dare not think about. He seemed not to care about the rules and constraints of this world.

This is not a perspective that a mere mortal should have.

When did it change?

Was it when Kurmis, the feathered serpent, told him each story? Was it when he became the first Demon Knight? Or was it still the time when I met the gods? ——

Anu’s former home was in the fresh market of Chandni City.

The so-called fresh food most often refers to fish.

Therefore, there is a strong smell here, and the people living nearby are the poorest poor; and not far from the fresh market, there is the execution ground.

today.

A large number of nobles from the Moonlight Province were taken to the execution ground.

Groups of wind lizards hovered in the sky, intimidating everyone.

The poor people nearby came to watch the execution and saw the lizard man who controlled the army and pronounced the crimes of the nobles.

"See that lizard man?"

"That's Anu!"

Among the crowd, someone learned Anu's identity, and some of these people had seen him before.

"Anu, is that the kid from the house at the end of the street?"

"How did he become like this?"

Anu looked at the dark mass of human heads below, with no warmth in his eyes.

Just yesterday, he specially ordered people to buy enough ropes, fearing that there would not be enough today.

Anu gave the order: "Kill!"

The deputy commander standing aside asked: "How many will be killed?"

Anu: "All of them!"

Although the deputy commander had expected it, he still asked: "Kill them all. Are they the ones who took the oath?"

If the deputy commander wants to remonstrate, he can just kill a few of them, and the others can be subdued and reprimanded. This is also the past practice.

But Anu didn't like this practice. He told his deputy commander: "If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished. What does this have to do with who they are?"

The deputy commander had no choice but to whisper close to Anu: "Anu, this is not a question of right or wrong. Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing so many nobles? You will become the public enemy of the entire Suinhor. "

Anu smiled: "If killing some scum makes me a public enemy of Suinhall, it means that Suinhall still has more scum that needs to be cleaned up."

The deputy commander was anxious: "Then we should wait until the king's order is issued instead of hanging them all directly."

Anu looked at the deputy commander and asked.

"Do you think it's possible for the king to issue this order?"

The deputy commander was stunned, and Anu continued.

"The king wanted to kill them, but he couldn't give the order."

"But just in time, I want to kill them all."

"Because killing them can bring peace to tens of millions of people, make this country a better place, and make Suinhall more stable."

Anu walked around the deputy commander and walked to the front.

"Since the king can't kill them, let me do it!"

The deputy commander looked at Anu and swallowed back more words in an instant.

He found that the other party was not unaware of possible problems, but decided to do it anyway.

He could only sigh: "Alas!"

But at this moment, the deputy commander's admiration and respect for Anu increased infinitely.

Although the other party was a lizard man, his ambition and courage shocked the deputy commander himself, and even made him feel ashamed.

He also suddenly understood why the king sent Anu here, because only someone like him could complete such a task.

Anu stood up, raised his hand and ordered.

"Execution."

Then, he gritted his teeth and said the next four words.

"Hang them."

The words "hang them to death" echoed like thunder in the sky above Moonlight City, even causing many people present to cover their ears.

Anu is the envoy sent by the king to the Moonlight Province, and he still holds military power.

At this time, he was the highest authority and strongest person in the Moonlight Province. His orders were like the king's will, and no one could disobey him.

As soon as he gave the order, he saw row after row of nobles being sent to the gallows and hung up like bacon.

With one order, hundreds of nobles were hanged.

The nobles were completely frightened, and even the citizens of Moonlight City had never seen such a scene before.

Before the execution, the nobles roared and cursed in despair in the face of death.

"We are nobles and we enjoy immunity."

"You are a lizard man and a monster, you have no right to punish us."

"You have no right to judge us."

"We are guilty, so we should let the king judge us, and let the king judge us personally."

"I was wrong. I am willing to pay a fine, any amount of fine."

Anu listened to those voices without any mercy.

Because he has never been a part of the nobility.

He is a slave, a believer, and a knight.

Only he is not considered a noble.

Anu said in his heart as he watched the nobles who robbed the civilians, forced themselves against the civilians, and colluded with the Abyss Order to be hanged one by one.

"rest in peace!"

This is what he said to the farmers who were forced to death in this rebellion, those who died innocently, and the soldiers who died under his own command.

——

Fire-protecting city.

Anu indeed killed all the nobles to the point of fear, and no one in the Moonlight Province dared to rebel again.

In other words, no one is rebelling anymore, and those who are capable of starting a rebellion have been hanged on the gallows.

Even the nobles from other provinces were frightened out of their wits and hid the little thoughts in their hearts. Everyone came to the Fire Guard City to see His Majesty the King and express their loyalty. This was unprecedented.

But at the same time, the entire Fire Guard City was in an uproar, and almost everyone criticized Anu, which was almost a one-sided situation.

On the one hand, the nobles were extremely frightened by this incident, and on the other hand, they felt hatred.

"This guy almost killed all the nobles in the entire province."

"How dare he?"

"He dared to kill those who swore the oath without even being authorized by the king. Where did he get the courage?"

"Since the time of King Alpans, Suinhor has ruled the kingdom together with the royal family. What does it mean that he killed all the swearers?"

"Do you think this is what His Majesty the King means?"

"King Morabi must have given instructions, and these guys are colluding with the Abyss Cult. Your Majesty will not be able to find a problem even if you kill them."

"But King Morabi did not give the order."

When nobles from various places came to see the king, they also attacked Anu, the leader of the Guards.

The reason was not that he killed those nobles, but because he killed those nobles without His Majesty's order.

The undercurrent was surging, and they even persuaded the important ministers around King Morabi.

Since King Morabi, there has been no palace minister, only the position of royal steward.

At this moment, the royal minister was reporting this matter to King Morabi. He did not judge the right or wrong of this matter, but discussed the threat of the lizard people.

"He's a threat."

"It is impossible for the lizard people to truly become one with us. If they really reproduce in sufficient numbers and groups over time, they will definitely pose a threat to us and this Suinhor."

“The weak will cling to the strong.”

"But a strong person will never succumb to others."

King Morabi didn't seem to care, and just said: "But the lizard people are very weak."

The Royal Chamberlain: "Your Majesty, are lizard people really weak?"

"They have a stronger body and physique than the snake people, have wisdom that is not inferior to the snake people, and have a complete extraordinary professional system; they can grow magic potions and breed monsters."

"More importantly, they have Coatled Serpent Kormis."

"The only weakness they have is that they were born too short."

"If we let them multiply, one day they will be on par with the snake people."

"That's right, not on par with Suinhall, but on par with the entire snake family."

King Morabi smiled: "Is what you said a bit exaggerated?"

The royal minister: "Your Majesty!"

"Actually, you've known this all along, haven't you?"

"Otherwise you wouldn't send so many potential seeds to serve as divine attendants in the Harvest Temple."

"You have seen this a long time ago. In fact, you don't need to say anything."

The royal steward raised his head, his eyes revealed a gloomy look, and he said somewhat pointedly.

"The Lizardmen have only one god, Quetzalcoatl."

"But Quetzalcoatl is not just a follower of the Lizardmen."

At this time, King Morabi suddenly looked at the royal minister, with an unusually stern expression, which made the other party feel fearful.

The royal minister in charge lay on the ground involuntarily, not daring to say another word.

King Morabi asked: "How much did you charge them, or what benefits did they promise you?"

The minister in charge of the royal family said: "Your Majesty, the nobles who came to the capital to see me have indeed looked for me before."

"But I didn't take advantage of them, and I'm not saying this for myself, but these problems really exist."

"Your Majesty, the lizard people must be on guard!"

King Morabi looked at the other party sternly. After a long time, his eyes slowly softened. He didn't know whether he really believed it or was too lazy to care about it for the time being.

"Anu is my right-hand man, you are not allowed to say these words anymore."

"It is precisely because of his achievements in the Moonlight Province that he has shocked the minds of those lawless people."

The royal steward stood up and said to King Morabi: "Your Majesty, I understand."

King Morabi continued: "The commander of the Guards Anupin has made great contributions to the rebellion and must be rewarded."

"Let him be the new governor of Moonlight Province and tell him that I have handed over his hometown to him and let him govern it well."

"Moonlight Province has a lot of vacancies this time, and there should be insufficient manpower. Some officials will be dispatched from the royal capital and various places to assist Anu in managing Moonlight Province."

The royal minister nodded: "I'll arrange someone to do it right away."

After King Morabi said this, he waved the royal minister in charge to retreat.

But when the other party left the door, he suddenly called out to the other party.

Another order was given.

"Now that the rebellion has been subsided, it's almost time to bring back the Guards. The royal city can't survive without the Guards, and I don't feel safe."

"Let the original deputy commander be promoted to commander. He should be the most familiar and suitable person. Let him continue to be in charge of the Guards Corps."

The royal steward suddenly raised his head, and his eyes immediately changed.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

——

In the Governor's Mansion of Moonlight Province.

The lizardman Anu is practicing, or to be more precise, taking care of his Warcraft companion Wind Lizard.

Anu took the food and fed the wind lizard with his own hands. After eating, the wind lizard let out a satisfied neigh.

"hiss!"

Subsequently, the size of the wind lizard began to decrease.

It shrank little by little to less than one meter, and finally spread its wings and landed on Anu's shoulder.

After reaching the third level, the lizardman Anu discovered that his Warcraft partner Wind Lizard Dragon not only had the second soul-melting form, but also had the soul-melting curse seal, and could change its size.

It can change from a huge body with a wingspan of twenty to thirty meters to a size that can stand on his shoulders.

Anu just walked out with the wind lizard dragon and commanded the wind lizard dragon to fly in the sky.

He continued to practice riding forms and fusion forms, releasing various divine spells.

At night, Anu wrote in his practice diary.

"The third-level power of the Demon Knight, first of all, is to have a fusion form, which can be completely integrated with the monster to exert the most powerful power. However, the separate fighting form and the riding form are not useless. They can increase The diversification of the Demon Knight’s combat modes.”

"The second is to have the Soul Fusion Curse Seal. However, the Demon Knight cannot have a complete Soul Fusion Curse Seal. We can only fuse a specific substance through the Soul Fusion Curse Seal, and it cannot be replaced thereafter."

"The third is that it can change its size. This power can save the power and physical consumption of Warcraft. If it can be used during combat, it can also play a key role."

"..."

Anu is the first high-ranking Demon Knight and the founder of the extraordinary profession of Demon Knight.

Naturally, he wanted to write down and summarize his practice experience. Only in this way could he slowly improve the system of this extraordinary profession.

Anu kept writing about the power of the third level, and unconsciously began to think of the fourth level.

If you reach the fourth level of the Apostle Demon Knight, what kind of power will it have?

Anu didn't know either, but at this moment he suddenly thought of the scene he had seen in Lord Kurmis's memory.

A diagram of the evolution of life on the spiritual door.

Anu leaned on the chair, raised his head involuntarily, and looked at the ceiling.

The mythical door that reached into the sky and the earth seemed to appear before his eyes again, slowly falling from the kingdom of the gods, setting off boundless clouds and air waves.

The door tells an ancient story, the story of life.

in the story.

Tens of millions of animal species all have the same beginning. They do not appear out of thin air, but have complete lines and genealogies.

Whether they are snake people, lizards, sail beasts, or earth dragons, they all have the same ancestor.

Anu's eyes were immersed in the shocking scene again, and he was mumbling.

“Life is constantly evolving.”

“And we’re going back to our roots.”

"Snake people, lizards..."

One after another, ancient species that could not even be named slipped past Anu's eyes.

"We have not become monsters, we have returned to our original appearance and recovered the power hidden in our blood."

Anu had a sudden thought: "Since we can trace the source of the bloodline, can the monster be transformed with the help of spiritual power and trace the power and form of the source of the bloodline?"

"It goes back to the primitive wilderness, our origins when the mother of life created us."

Anu stood up from the chair involuntarily, still looking up at the heights.

His eyes became clearer and clearer, and he spoke loudly.

"Yes, pursuing the power hidden in our bloodline is a gift given to us by the supreme god."

"This is the power that a demon knight with the rank of apostle should have and what he should do."

In the eyes of lizardman Anu, in the eyes of all mortals.

The older it is, the more powerful it is.

The thing that has evolved into the origin of thousands of species is naturally the most powerful appearance in his eyes.

The oldest ones are the species of gods. In Anu's eyes, they are a group of descendants of god kings from the kingdom of gods. The fish are the ancestors of all beasts. As for those insects and other species, they may be the giant god Ruhe. Stretch under power.

Anu's eyes followed the ancient carvings on the spiritual door, followed thousands of species, and finally arrived at the beginning of everything.

The top of the pyramid.

Start with that simple fish-shaped stone carving.

"The life that started it all, the origin of the evolution of all races!"

"What the hell is that?"

"Is that really a fish?"

Anu had never seen a fish like that before. It looked indescribably ancient and looked like it did not belong to this era.
