Chapter 523: I have brought you His forgiveness!

I have brought you His forgiveness!

It's a scam!

The messenger of 【Decay】 brought neither His mercy nor His wrath, but... the scam of 【Deception】.

More accurately, it should be called the scam of 【Foolish Play】.

That messenger standing in the square wearing a black robe and a hood was naturally the hunter of 【Silence】, Qu Yan. He held high a dagger that looked like a divine gift, which was emitting a pure aura of 【Decay】.

That was naturally not a divine gift, and it was just an ordinary dagger. The hunter just hid a Final Tomb Stone in his sleeve, making the dagger look like it possessed infinite power of 【Decay】.

But how could ordinary people see the clues of this dagger? All the Kanna residents infected by the aura of 【Decay】 walked out of their warm homes, surged into the streets, and then followed His guidance to walk toward the Rosna Recruitment Square. When they saw this mysterious messenger holding the "divine gift", they knelt down piously.

They didn't even dare to look directly at the appearance of the God's messenger, only daring to lie on the ground and shout excitedly.

The masses knew nothing about the Rosna royal family's escape. They were still hoping that someone could lead the decaying Rosna Empire to win this war against the Annihilators. So when they saw this messenger holding the "divine gift" high, hope—the hope of survival—arose in many people's hearts.

But is it really like this?

Perhaps not necessarily. How much piety is contained in this noise that almost drowns out the sound of the wind and snow... no one knows.

Cheng Shi only knew that when the first resident appeared in the square and knelt down, the missing charge in his ring was instantly full again.

He nodded thoughtfully, then casually released a Thunder Punishment toward the Imperial Court hall behind him.

"Boom—"

Thunder on flat ground. This huge sound made the figures of the arriving masses even more humble and hunched, and the charge in his ring that had just been consumed was instantly filled again.

Cheng Shi smiled. He threw out five Thunder Punishments one after another without hesitation, shattering and collapsing many buildings in the Imperial Court. But even used like this, the charge of the Fun Ring never dropped.

Full, always full.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, and the thunder punishment continued. He had never poured out thunder so freely before. It wasn't until almost the entire Imperial Court's architecture had been swept by the wild lightning that he stopped, still feeling unsatisfied. Yet, at this moment, the Fun Ring was still fully charged.

And this meant that what was floating above the entire square was all fear—fear so massive it made people afraid.

If these masses were all shouting from the heart and all discussing out of piety, then why, after seeing the messenger of the savior descend, would such a massive amount of fear condense on the square?

"This is truly a contradictory country. The masses believe in Him but don't get blessings. Wanting to show more piety makes this empire decay more and more. When it decays to the point of falling with a wind blow, most people abandon their faith. But when it is about to perish, they have dependence and hope for this only faith. But when this dependence and hope appear, they feel fear.

Look, Jialun, this scene is so spectacular, enough to be recorded in history.

I can't feel a shred of piety in this Rosna Recruitment Square; all I can smell is fear.

The masses walked out of their homes and surged into the streets, probably not to follow the God's messenger in this square. They might be like the Rosna royal family, just afraid that hiding at home would anger the other party, thereby suffering divine punishment.

Gong Yang, oh Gong Yang, you still died too early. I wonder if you, hiding in the ring, can feel the fear gathered in the square.

Are you also afraid?

I know you are inside, and I know you can hear me speak. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Cherish this fear, because you will always have a moment when you can no longer be afraid.

The Count of Screams who feeds on fear dying of fear can be considered a closed loop of fate."

Cheng Shi said to himself words Old Jialun couldn't understand. This weak historian's eyes were round, and although he couldn't understand, it didn't prevent him from being shocked by the thunder just now and the scene in front of him.

This was a gathering that almost determined whether the Rosna Empire would be destroyed, because probably all the survivors in the city were here.

If these three lords wanted the Rosna Empire to perish, then at this moment, they only needed to pour the thunder just now onto the masses again, and this country that believed in 【Decay】 could be completely decayed and scattered into the gray slag of history.

But this lord... would he do that?

Old Jialun didn't know, but as a historian, a historian who hesitated between piety and non-piety, a thought suddenly rose in his heart—a crazy thought.

He wanted to record the last history for this country where he once lived.

Even if after this, the Rosna Empire would no longer exist, he would have fulfilled his last duty as a historian.

Of course, this duty wasn't to the Rosna royal family, but to this Rosna Empire where he had lived for more than thirty years and had complex emotions.

But he didn't know if he still had the right to record all this, so he raised his head to look at Cheng Shi on the side. But just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask, Cheng Shi smiled meaningfully at him and suddenly jumped down from the high wall.

The time had come. Cheng Shi seemed to see what Old Jialun was thinking, but he didn't respond, instead jumping off the high wall and mixing into the crowd, coming to Qu Yan's side, and starting to perform his role, acting as a mouthpiece for a God's messenger...

Didn't expect that one day I would become Mouth Brother.

Question Mouth Brother, understand Mouth Brother, become Mouth Brother!

Now, Cheng Shi, incarnated as a mouth, was going to perform a double act with the believer of 【Silence】 who couldn't speak, deceiving the entire empire in this Recruitment Square.

And the first line of this double act made the entire square boil directly!

"I am the messenger of 【Decay】, running for the patron in the world. This trip is to bring His forgiveness to the people of Rosna on His behalf."

Forgiveness!

The masses in the square, even if they didn't listen to anything else, just hearing these two words made them let out unbelievable exclamations, and some even hugged their heads and cried, as if the God's forgiveness could save them from fire and water.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that 【Decay】 had never gazed at them, nor had He ever blessed them. If one had to talk about forgiveness, it should be them "forgiving" Him.

But in this era, God is everything. Even if the citizens of Rosna suffered more hardships, it was because they weren't pious enough. But now, their piety finally won... the patron's forgiveness.

But some people still had doubts, because only they themselves knew whether they were pious enough. In the infinitely pious past, they hadn't won His gaze, but now, when piety was worn out, would His messenger really bring forgiveness?

Could this be a scam, a trick divine punishment to clear out the unpious?

No one dared to be sure, and no one dared to raise their heads. Everyone was still shrouded in huge fear, pretending and echoing, waiting for the God's messenger's next words. ===== CHAPTER 524 =====
