Chapter 163 Gods don’t need little mortal brides!
Su Nan didn’t know what happened in the strange space. He only knew that this world needed war.
The intensity of the Demon War is not high enough, and the world of Teyvat is still a little too urbanized.
"When all the seas become one..."
As the thunder subsided, the divine punishment also stopped.
ding ding...
Stairs transformed from water light extended from the gate of the Temple of the Sea on the top of the mountain all the way to the Temple of the Priests below, until they were formed into long steps for mortals to meet the gods. Sunan's low voice also sounded in Helles' ears.
"Come to the temple and see me."
At the same time, the long staircase from the sacrificial palace to the Temple of Poseidon was also transmitted into Helles' mind.
Helles, who was inexplicably nervous because of the coming of divine punishment, he breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order from the God of the Sea from Sunan.
He was really worried that the punishment from his Lord Sea God would fall on his head.
It would be fine if he was punished by God because he had committed some mistake, because he deserved it.
But if he were to be punished by God for some inexplicable reason... then he would really cry out that it was unfair.
When he opened his eyes again, Helles noticed that his eldest son, Gris, was looking at him with an extremely worried look.
"Father, what just happened was..."
"It was His Majesty the God of the Sea who summoned me to meet him." Helles smiled and spoke to comfort him.
"Then..." Grace wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Helles.
"Don't worry." Helles' eyes were full of reverence: "Your Majesty has seen everything we have done, and the divine punishment just now proves everything."
As if to prove that what he said was right, he pointed his finger at Renato who was knocked unconscious by the blue divine punishment in the distance.
"Your Majesty has his own considerations for those who have committed crimes, and will not easily give them a false judgment."
"On the contrary, we have just fallen into the abyss of extremism, wanting to solve everything through killing..."
Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It is also thanks to your Majesty's divine punishment that I have awakened. Otherwise, by the time a big mistake has been made, it would be too late."
"Father is absolutely right!" Gris nodded in agreement, and then he turned the topic to Billy.
"Just dad, how should we deal with Billy's matter?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Billy, who was stunned by the sudden divine punishment.
My old friend had really bad luck today as he actually witnessed the punishment from God with his own eyes.
What's worse is that the object of God's punishment is the person he just felt pity and trusted.
What does this situation represent?
A terrifying guess emerged in Billy's mind. He was now trapped in internal friction...
"Tell him the truth." Helles could only helplessly say about what happened to Billy: "I originally just wanted him to gain some life experience, but the divine punishment from His Majesty came suddenly, and I was caught off guard..."
Helus sighed and shook his head.
"The situation has changed dramatically now. Not only Billy, but you should also be prepared."
"Perhaps His Majesty will issue a new decree this time, and this new decree will most likely bring new changes to Lemuria."
"May the glory of His Majesty the Sea God always guide us and keep us from getting lost!"
After saying these words, he did not tell Gris anything more, but walked towards the sacred mountain of Lemuria.
Next, he will go to meet the great Lord of Lemuria, His Majesty the Supreme God of the Sea.
"Poor Billy..." Grace nodded, looking at Billy with dementia in the distance, and looked at him with pity: "I hope you can learn from this lesson and don't make the same mistake again."
As if he thought of something, he gritted his teeth again.
“Especially, stop writing important text records as your life diary.”
"Before, you used the history of the Empire as your diary, and now you use the experimental log of the engineering department as your diary..."
"…Damn diary! I hate diaries!"
……
Passing through the long streets, crossing one obstacle after another, going up from the sacrificial palace on the mountainside, stepping over the long steps of the divine building, Helles finally came before the sea god he revered.
"Great Lord of Lemuria, Your Majesty the Supreme God of the Sea, may your glory always guide us and keep us from getting lost!"
Holding the priest's staff, he performed respectful priestly rituals, expressing his lofty faith to the god on the throne.
"Heles..." Sunan's voice was deep and powerful. "What do you think war will bring?"
Hearing the words from His Majesty the God of the Sea, the expression on Helles' face became more respectful.
"Your Majesty, the great Sea God, as your priest, how dare I talk about war?"
"But if Your Majesty is willing to listen to the nonsense of a humble priest, then please forgive my presumptuous behavior."
"Your Majesty, the great Sea God, you rule over all the seas in the world, and your power is feared by all directions..."
However, his repeated words of praise made Sunan uncomfortable, so Sunan frowned and interrupted:
"Stop the useless praises and just speak your mind."
Sunan has never liked these complicated things, so in most cases, he doesn't like to communicate with his priests.
This is true whether in the High Sea Lemuria or the East Sea Lemuria.
Those priests always make up their own stories and distort the basic meaning...
Thinking back to the time when I just casually said something like "I feel lonely" to the priest, who would have thought that the priest actually understood it as him needing a human bride...
So the priest took the initiative to dress up the cutest girl in the village as a little bride and offered her as a sacrifice...
What a sin!
Thinking this at the time, he angrily came to the tribe that believed in him, sent the little bride back in front of the believers, and severely reprimanded the priest at that time.
If it wasn't for maintaining the status of a god, he would have wanted to give the priest two big slaps.
As a god, he doesn't need a little human bride!
Hearing this, Helles below showed a trace of panic on his face, but then he felt relieved.
Because Sunan's words were like a reassurance, he was worried that his presumptuous words would anger the gods.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty..."
He took a deep breath and continued respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Four Seas, as you have said, please forgive my presumptuous words..."
"The so-called war is nothing more than a means to conquer many rebellious people. The benefit it brings is that all races will submit to each other in a short period of time..."
Then, the conversation changed.
"However, a short period of submission will lead to a long period of accumulation of hatred..."
"The pain caused by war will be engraved in the hearts of the surrendered races."
"They will secretly plot to overthrow the empire beyond your majesty's sight..."
As time passed, Helles told Sunan all his views on the war, while Sunan leaned on the throne with a calm face.
