Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 166 The Chosen One

With a loud bang, the void around shattered like glass, and all the scenes collapsed.

This is the breath of the gods.

The effect of the ceremony spread from the suburbs to Tingen City along the connection with Tingen City.

Everyone felt an instinctive shudder.

That is the pressure coming from the level of gods!

Even if the "true creator" has not yet arrived.

From that extremely evil and filthy atmosphere.

Everyone had a feeling that the end of the world was coming.

Even the messenger lady who was fighting the "Dark Saint" in the spirit world or far away was frozen in time.

Because essentially, the "True Creator" crushes all living beings at a certain level!

Even the "Dark Saint" couldn't help but tremble all over at this moment.

A thrill of excitement, of course.

The successful completion of the ceremony means that their Lord is about to return!
Gaze at the upside-down shadow of the "True Creator" gradually emerging towards the center of the ceremony.

The messenger lady will ignore the attack of the "Dark Saint".

Or try to stop the ritual.

Or escape from here with Klein.

But the "Dark Saint" continued to hold back the messenger lady together with the "Witch King".

Even though he had just been forced to use the trump card given to him by the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros.

But at this moment he was extremely sure that the Lord would be able to return safely, and he would not let the messenger lady do anything no matter what.

What if I sacrifice my own life!
Therefore, the messenger lady could only move further and further away from the "Dark Saint" in the fight and had no time to take care of other things in the short term.

……

While struggling to deal with the illness and black flames of the "Witch of Pain" Katherina, "Sword of the Goddess" Krestai watched the ceremony continue.

At this moment, he understood from the corrupt breath that the advent of the "True Creator" would continue, but he had already exhausted the power of the holy ashes in his hands in the previous battle with Catherine.

At this moment, Krestai had no other options.

Do we have to wait until God descends to truly drive away the "real creator"?

By that time, the people of Tingen City would have been killed or injured in large numbers due to the influence of the ritual, with only one in ten surviving, right?

He suddenly wanted to forcefully swallow the holy ashes from afar to advance.

Even if I have to risk my life and lose control and turn into a monster, as long as I can stop it even a little bit, it's worth it!
But the "Witch of Pain" seemed to see through his plan and did not give him any chance at all.

At this time, a fallen human figure hanging upside down on an inverted cross has appeared at the core of the ceremony, with a pink vertical pupil that looks increasingly evil.

Above the entire room, rays of light penetrated the void and quickly entered the core along the ritual filled with symbolic symbols and magical signs.

And this core will transmit the phantom of the "True Creator" to the linked city of Tingen.

In an instant, it seemed as if an emotion condensed into a substance was weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

Even those who are already depressed.

For example, children who have been hungry for years, homeless people who are plagued by diseases, and workers who have to endure factory pollution in order to survive...

The residents of Tingen City were not sure what was happening, but at this moment, thousands of people were looking in the direction of the far suburbs of Tingen City.

……

Bernadette frowned as she watched the Son of God suddenly break through the obstacles and release the accumulated aura by coincidence.

By now, she had realized that something was wrong—the Son of God had persisted in her presence for too long.

Even though he has been growing for a long time and is a creature born with divinity, the power of the gods has been manifested during this period.

Even though Bernadette didn't bring much with her because the incident happened suddenly.

Even if there are many "coincidences" along the way that favor the Son of God.

But he has been able to hold on until now. Could it be that there is some angelic thing helping him behind the scenes?
Sure enough, when it comes to high-level disasters, nothing is simple, right?
Looking at the materialized negative emotions that have spread from the core of the ceremony to everyone in Tingen City.

Bernadette was thinking about whether she should use her trump card - to use the "Wishing Magic Lamp" to realize her wish of "obtaining the ability of Sequence 1 'Knowledge Emperor' for one day".

But the reason why the trump card is a trump card is that it cannot be handed over easily.

After using it this time, the "Wishing Lamp" will never be useful to her again.

But the opportunity for promotion is not so easy to find, not to mention that Bernadette herself does not want to see the scene of Tingen City suffering.

For a moment, she almost gave up her backhand.

At this time, Bernadette, as the "Master of Prophecy", felt that something was wrong with fate.

Although the ritual was still going on, it seemed that something had changed a little bit? Was the effect of the ritual tampered with?
……

When Klein saw the phantom of the god who belonged to the "True Creator", his face under the mask couldn't help but twitch.

This is the trembling from the heart under the power coming from the gods.

It was also because my mood couldn't help but become heavy under the effect of the ceremony.

Didn’t it fail to stop the coming of the “true creator”?
So, he failed?

Klein thought of his brother and sister in Tingen City, his colleagues and friends, and the faces he saw in his daily life...

Will it still fail in the end?
This fateful feeling of oppression was so heavy that it made him breathless and made him feel somewhat discouraged.

But the expected coming of the "true creator" did not happen.

The shadow of the "True Creator" is always a shadow, and even the aura of the deity is becoming weaker and weaker, but it still maintains a connection with Tingen City.

Klein, on the other hand, felt the darkness getting thicker and thicker—

That is the reluctance of workers who risk serious illness due to factory pollution such as lead poisoning, and who can only live for a meager salary for less than ten years.

That was the helplessness of homeless and sick vagrants who were driven out of the park due to the provisions of the Poor Law and had no place to stay overnight.

That was the confusion where most of the poor were trying their best to make ends meet, and even children had to work as child laborers just to fill their stomachs.

It was numbness, hunger, pessimism and pain.

Those are traces of resentment, the spiritual remnants of the most difficult emotions for humans to let go of before death.

……

It was as if they were dispersed from the core of the ritual, and as if someone had created a channel for sharing resentment out of nothing.

These grievances spread, causing everyone within the city of Tingen to feel the pain that comes from ordinary life.

To live humbly.

Have to run around and work hard.

Have to do everything possible to survive.

Even if they do those jobs just to survive, they will be accused of being so dissolute and will be despised and insulted.

Even using alcohol to numb oneself in order to have a little joy in the tedious and heavy life will be criticized as alcoholism and vilified as the depravity of indulging in desires.

But what went wrong?
When the entire social ecology ignores them who are regarded as stepping stones of the times.

We also need to build ideological barriers for them in the system.

While they are being treated inhumanely, they also blatantly and without any concealment publicize their own exploitative behavior.

In order to achieve their own goals, they will instill moral concepts into them by any means necessary.

So, in the face of all these resentments, let me ask:
What went wrong?

……

Klein suddenly remembered the era he lived in before.

At least in the face of helpless reality, people can still find joy in misery and make up jokes like "God's Chosen One" to make fun of themselves.

However, in this "bloody" and sinful era full of primitive accumulation.

Everything is "common sense"!
While exploiting and oppressing others, they attempt to impose so-called "moral concepts" firmly on their heads in order to satisfy their own selfish needs.

They work hard but only get very little pay and minimal sensory enjoyment, and their value and meaning as human beings are constantly eroded.

With the gathering of resentment today, the veil of "warmth" has been lifted, revealing the bloody reality behind it.

Or maybe for them, there has never been any "warmth", and the whole world is a huge shackle.

The advent of the "True Creator" was suppressed, and the resentment that constituted the ritual needed to be vented.

Therefore, everyone in Tingen City empathizes with the plight of the resentful people who belong to them or are reflections of themselves.

I kept creating this question in my mind:

What went wrong?

……

If they are not wrong, then this is the choice of the times?

Is this the worst era, or is it that the whole world is fundamentally wrong?
But simply explaining what happens to the world in different ways is not enough.

What matters is changing the world.

……

All of a sudden, Klein had these realizations.

Looking in the direction of Star, Klein couldn't help but wonder: After expelling the "True Creator", are these resentments linked to the entire Tingen City related to him?
Did he do it on purpose? Or accidentally?
