Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 175 Mortals Who Slay Gods

Once he regained consciousness, Habisa also regained the composure a warrior should have. He even extracted useful information from those terrifying memories as quickly as possible.

Although the scene just now was extremely horrifying and almost cost him his life, at least he was still alive, even if it was only because of luck—and this time his luck was indeed ridiculously good, simply because he had obtained the most important information.

"The Serpent God has won!"

Thinking of this, Habisa couldn't help but clench his fist excitedly.

Yes, the serpent god must have won, which is why the sun god needed to use such a troublesome method of descent—after all, if the sun god had really won, he should already be celebrating his victory and wouldn't need to use such a troublesome method to descend.

"If I'm not mistaken... the reason why the Sun God chose to descend by possessing someone is probably because its true form is currently being controlled by the Serpent God."

In just a moment, Habisa had already made his judgment.

This kind of thing is easy to understand when you translate it into frontline warfare—if you really win a battle, the first thing you do is reward your merits. It's only when you lose a battle, or even become a prisoner of war in enemy territory, that you choose to send a letter back to let them know you're safe, rather than coming back in person to celebrate the victory.

Of course, the method used by the sun god was not the conventional way of sending a letter.

Rather, it is some more sinister and dangerous method.

"It must have been that the will descended upon that young priest, or that the body was directly taken over."

Habisa frowned slightly as he recalled the scene he had witnessed during the day.

Indeed, judging from the current battle situation, the Serpent God should have suppressed the Sun God, but it is clear that the Serpent God has not been able to completely kill the Sun God—this is not necessarily because the Serpent God is not powerful enough, but simply because the Sun God is too evil.

Despite being separated by thousands of miles, he can still attach his will to believers. Even if his physical body is destroyed, he can regain his authority through the believers he possesses. In other words, no matter how many times he is killed, as long as there are believers of the Sun God in this world, the Sun God will always have a body to replace and will never be killed.

"This……"

Thinking of this, Habisa broke out in a sweat again.

When faced with the threat of death, he had considered risking his life. Even without a sword, even if he broke his arm and exposed the bone, he could still deliver that final blow. But now it seems that he was horrified by the scene, which was even a good thing.

Simply because even if he risked his life, it would be meaningless.

Even if he were to manage to kill the believer possessed by the sun god and end this evil ritual, the war priest Matt Perry would immediately take his life and kill him on the spot—and after that, the ritual would continue as usual, and the sun god's will would simply send another believer to descend, and nothing would change.

"This... is the divine."

At this moment, Habisa had already subconsciously clenched his teeth.

He had never seen such a bizarre monster.

Compared to this sinister sun god, the serpent god seemed almost normal—even though the serpent god was the one who looked like a huge monster, exuding an eerie aura just by sitting there, the serpent god even admitted that he would really die if he were killed.

On the contrary, this so-called sun god can actually use this evil method to be reborn in another's body...

"However, it's not like they're truly unkillable."

At that moment, Habisa couldn't help but recall the answer the serpent god had given him.

Yes, the serpent god had answered his question before—he remembered the serpent god's reply. "Some gods don't have a physical form; they are merely the direction of people's faith. They may not even exist. These types are the hardest to kill... Unless you can use a theory to refute everyone and prove that it doesn't exist, as long as there are still people who believe in it, it is as if it still exists, which is equivalent to it still being alive."

This was the answer the serpent god gave him, and Habisa kept it firmly in his heart. At the time, he even thought that remembering these things was meaningless to him.

But now it seems...

"Even if the sun god can truly shift its will, as long as I can reduce its followers..."

As long as it becomes easier to find followers of the Sun God, the Sun God's room for maneuver will become smaller and smaller.

When the sun god lost his last believer, he faced death in the true sense of the word.

"Yes! Let's do it!"

Habisa's eyes hardened.

At this moment, he, who was originally confused, has found the meaning to continue living. Looking at his own hands, he even feels that he has felt fate itself.

Yes, perhaps when he impulsively asked the great serpent god that question, his path had already been revealed.

"To kill a god with the body of a mortal."

Habisa clenched his fist.

Is there anything bigger than this?
And if we follow this line of thought, everything that had trapped him before is no longer an obstacle at all—indeed, he is currently trapped by Sennett and it is impossible for him to go back, but Sennett's existence has also provided him with the best disguise.

No one would care about a young priest who was temporarily promoted, especially one like him who got the position through connections—of course, Senette's husband, the war priest Hatorrunu, might care about that, but an open enemy would actually make more people feel at ease with him.

Once more people felt at ease with him, he was able to begin secretly implementing some of his ideas.

"After all, this descent of the sun god is not going to be peaceful."

Habisa recalled once again that eerie scene.

Yes, although the visit of the war priest Matt Perry silenced many families who had lost their children, they were ultimately only afraid of Matt Perry, and even afraid of the sun god's revenge—those who had lost their children still harbored resentment in their hearts.

"Since they share a common grudge, it means that they can be guided accordingly... However, they should all be under Matt Perry's surveillance, so it won't be so easy to link them together to do something."

Thinking of this, Habisa couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This might be a usable force, but it was clearly not suitable for use now.

"As for now... what exactly do I need to do to make people forget the sun god and believe that the sun god does not exist?"

Habisa frowned deeply. He had no idea what to do. He could only try to recall his past and find some useful answers.

But at that very moment, Habisa unexpectedly found an idea.

That is, his background.

The journey he has taken is the answer itself.
