Chapter 176: Today, I Will Stain Heaven With Blood!!

His words spoke volumes, shocking the world.

Is this why God did not anger at Quetzalcoatl's words—because Quetzalcoatl has killed too many, sunk into corruption, and now, after countless blows, has lost his reason?

Yes, if a person kills too much, he truly becomes heartless, loses reverence for life, and goes mad…

But is this really true?

With varied emotions, people heard God speak.

"Quetzalcoatl, you are a divine hero; I truly do not wish to strike the hero of the First Battlefield. But these are all my faithful subjects—I cannot let you harm them. Cease your violence."

God spoke gently, courteously, urging him—revealing boundless mercy.

This scene caused many believers who had begun to doubt their faith, thinking God cowardly and timid, to reclaim their belief—and with even greater conviction than before—spreading the worship of God to others.

Online, it was the same: believers posted all kinds of comments.

Look, God is so merciful—Quetzalcoatl wants to kill God's faithful, yet God forgives him, doesn't get angry, and even pleads with him.

You've all misunderstood God—God isn't cowardly; look how merciful he is. Quetzalcoatl spoke so harshly to God, yet God chose to forgive and even tried to reason with him.

A flood of topics and posts, all defending God, extolling his goodness.

Even non-believers online were shaken, feeling God was merciful and kind, some even feeling the urge to believe in him.

Yet not everyone thought God merciful.

Some people rebutted these believers' claims.

"Merciful God? Never mind that Quetzalcoatl said God only dares to fight at the edge of the First Battlefield, too afraid to engage in battle—why didn't God stop him himself from the start? Why send the Seven Archangels instead?"

He knew Quetzalcoatl was a hero, knew his strength, knew the Seven Archangels couldn't defeat him—so why send them to die? And why wait until Quetzalcoatl's hidden wound flared up before appearing?

I think God is deliberate—he knew Quetzalcoatl suffered an irreversible injury, yet still feared his power, so he first sent the Seven Archangels to test him, and only stepped forward after confirming Quetzalcoatl was severely wounded.

Others cited mythological history to rebut.

"Merciful God? If he truly were merciful, why did he let Adam sin, knowing he would? He told Adam and Eve not to eat the apple—does that mean he's merciful? Then why didn't he just fence off the tree so they couldn't reach it? What good is just talking?

I think God is deliberate—he told them not to eat, yet took no action, didn't even build a fence. Clearly, he wanted to stir Adam and Eve's curiosity, to lure them into eating the apple through their own curiosity."

A netizen named jojo不做人 also spoke up.

"If God is merciful, why did he unleash floods and fire to slaughter countless humans? If betraying God means death, how can you call that mercy?"

You say the Ark was mercy—but to me, he's reveling in his power, treating us not as people but as playthings, manipulating mortals like puppets: happy, he gives you fruit; angry, he slaughters you—and then offers a boat: board if you obey, drown if you defy."

Some netizens cited God's history.

It is said that in history, a man named Moses led his people toward Canaan; when their progress was blocked, some complained about God. God heard their grievances and issued a decree: those who disbelieved would wander the desert for forty years, but those who believed could enter Canaan…

Later, as leader, Moses defied God's will—he struck the rock twice instead of once, causing fresh water to gush forth, providing water for many people and livestock. God was displeased and punished Moses by barring him from entering Canaan.

Listing this history, the netizen added:

"You say God is merciful—then why only let those who believe in him enter Canaan? Why discriminate?"

And those who disbelieved? They still believed in God—they merely wavered when reaching Canaan. Is that enough to punish them by denying entry? And why punish Moses? He struck the rock twice to bring forth more fresh water and save lives—just because he disobeyed God's instruction?"

I think God is a selfish superior—those who obey live, those who defy die."

Other netizens agreed:

"You often say God is the God of humanity, the God of all things—then why does he always demand the finest offerings? If sacrifice is meant to show reverence, aren't the cattle and sheep offered as Sacrifices also living beings under God's protection?"

And you say God is the God of humanity—then why, in the Book of Exodus, did God help the Israelites slaughter every army and entire city they passed through? Weren't those people also God's subjects?"

The Pharaoh of Egypt, for not believing in God, was punished with ten plagues—every firstborn Egyptian son died. Because the Pharaoh sinned, why punish so cruelly with collective retribution? Is that the act of a merciful being?"

Clearly, not everyone agreed with the believers—in their view, God was not merciful. Even without historical analysis, simply from Quetzalcoatl's actions—fighting to the brink of death in the First Battlefield to protect his people, killing Aztec deities one after another—they were more inclined to believe in Quetzalcoatl.

And God? His actions, to people's eyes, seemed merciful—but not quite.

Online debates raged on, and the standoff between God of Beimeizhou and Quetzalcoatl continued.

"What if I do not cease?"

Blood seas churned, corpses roared; dark clouds thundered overhead, lightning flashed, countless destructive Lei Ting bloomed—Quetzalcoatl answered God with action.

He had no intention of ceasing.

He had never intended to cease.

Not even if gods stood in his way!

God sighed, his body radiating pure, flawless holy light—softer than the sun, yet brighter than the sun, illuminating heaven and earth, lighting up hearts, washing away sin, leaving only holy souls.

"Then I must act against you—for the sake of my subjects."

Holy light shone, obscuring God's majesty, yet revealing mercy, helplessness, and unavoidable duty.

Boom!!

The mountain of corpses and sea of blood exploded; divine and demonic corpses burned and shattered, the crimson sea erupted, surging into towering waves that rolled into the sky like rising blood dragons—the entire starry heavens trembled. Terrible omens erupted: colossal waves, crimson Lei Ting slashing down by the tens of thousands, as if heaven itself had split open.

"Drop your hypocrisy—if you want my divine blood and bones, say it outright! Come, coward! If I do not die today, I will stain Heaven with blood!"

Fire seas churned, crimson Lei Ting split the heavens.

Quetzalcoatl roared.

At this moment, Quetzalcoatl was the divine king ruling over all Aztec deities.

At this moment, Quetzalcoatl was the peerless god who slaughtered through the First Battlefield, striking terror into every enemy.
