From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 32 From this point on, offense and defense have shifted.

"Screech...!" Just as everyone was shocked by the grandeur, exaggeration, and bloodshed of the ritual, a cry of an eagle, loud enough for everyone to hear, reached the ears of everyone present!
Everyone looked up, hoping to see the source of the cry.

If the previous sacrifices and warriors were just a glimmer of hope, then the eagle's cry now represents much more than that!

In Mayan mythology, the beast god is also part of the gods. So, during the sacrifice, such a loud sound could really be a promise from the gods.
They looked up and saw a huge creature!
With a wingspan of five meters, the giant eagle circling in the sky looks like a real behemoth, and its long cry makes everyone who hears it tremble in their hearts!

After circling three times and calling out three times, the giant eagle finally descended from the sky and came to the altar, extending its claws toward Ivan.

Ivan could sense the other person's voice, so he reached out and grabbed the other person's paw.

"Screech!" Another cry rang out, and the eagle carried Ivan up from the huge bonfire!

The flying man, dressed in tribal battle attire and carrying an obsidian spear, truly displayed his prowess before everyone!

Soon, they flew together to the altar and came before Elder Karl.

At this moment, no audience member wanted to leave, and no one was willing to leave.

After all, what does one person's death matter? This ritual seems to be worshipping something truly extraordinary!
These people, with Native American blood flowing through their veins, seemed to be thinking about something they never dared to imagine in their lives, a future they never dared to think about in their lives!
All eyes were focused on the altar, and everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

They also wanted to see where the eagle came from and what it was up to.

Carl was probably the most panicked person, because he wasn't prepared!
Yes, although he completed the ritual, many people pondered it deeply because of Ivan's physical limitations.

This was his original intention; he wanted to use Ivan's adventure to strengthen his tribe's "divinely gifted" attributes and then seize some control from it.

Although there are not many people present, only a little over two thousand, it is still quite a lot for tribes in various regions that currently only have two or three hundred people.

He had even planned to use the support of these people to manipulate state votes and thereby extract some benefits from the hands of legislators.

This was Karl's idea, and it was the way he could think of in a short time to obtain the greatest benefit after becoming familiar with the rules of this world.

But now, everything is different!
This eagle, clearly imbued with divine power, arrived here and stood before the altar, seemingly having already defined the essence of the sacrifice: divine intervention!
Karl was at a loss. What were the preparations for the divine descent? What should he do? He had no idea!

He wasn't prepared for this! What should I do now?
However, the giant eagle before him did not make him hesitate for long. Its intelligent eyes fixed on Karl and Ivan, and it slowly opened its beak:
Why... is there no statue of me here?

Its sound is not loud, but it can transmit the tone to everyone's ears in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Karl broke out in a cold sweat!

As the elder of this tribe and the person in charge of the sacrifices, if he still cannot recognize who the eagle in front of him is, then he should die!
In their culture, there can only be one being who can speak eagles: the messenger of the eagle god!
Now, having heard these words, he was even more convinced that the eagle before him was the descent of the Eagle God himself!
Who is the Eagle God? In other cultures, he might just be a mount, an ordinary servant god, or some other being.

However, in Mayan mythology, there is only one possibility: the chief of animal gods, the master of the sky, the god of eagles!

This is, to some extent, an existence that can be called a supreme god!

“Your Majesty, we are the tribe of priests and war gods!” Karl quickly explained. “If you are not satisfied, I am willing to offer new sacrifices and add a new throne for you!”

"It is rare to have a sacrifice, so there is no punishment!" the eagle said slowly, seemingly not very angry. However, as its eyes scanned the crowd, it saw something different!

"Why are there servants of other gods in your sacrificial rites!"

His voice suddenly turned into a terrible rage, and at that moment, His form violently expanded, transforming into the raging flames of the heavens!

The next second, several people in the crowd were lifted up and appeared in front of everyone!
This kind of lifting is certainly not a simple grab, but a very direct strangulation!
These people had similar skin to those around them and were all dressed in colorful traditional Mayan clothing, yet they were still precisely lifted up.

Meanwhile, Gao, who was monitoring from outside, also received a notification: "Something's wrong, sir! Our men have been captured!"

Gao didn't care. "So what if they're arrested? Tell them to stay put, not to spout nonsense, and not to do anything that could damage relations!" What can a mere Native American tribe do, even if they have a so-called "superhuman" warrior?

His relatives and friends are all in the tribe. If the Federation wants to control him, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
Gao had just received a phone call from the Attorney General, who said exactly what he was saying. He was even prepared to wait for the ceremony to end so he could bring people over to negotiate with them.

But the officer who came to report was terrified. "No, sir! They were caught by an eagle?"

"An eagle?" Gao was taken aback. "Are you kidding me? An eagle can catch them all?"

He quickly looked at the monitor next to him, and in the footage from the drone in the sky, he saw what had just happened!
The moment the giant eagle turned around, their mole was caught, his throat was grabbed, and he was lifted into the sky.

As for the surveillance drones, they all fell from the sky the instant the eagle raised its head!
"The people of the gods, under the watchful eyes of servants of other gods?" The Eagle God's voice was filled with unspeakable rage as He stared at Karl and Ivan. "As priests of the gods, is this how you do it?"

Karl bowed his head and knelt down, not daring to speak.

Ivan appeared more composed. Although the person in front of him was the Eagle God, his leader was the Priest, and they did not belong to the same system, so he was naturally much bolder.

"Your Majesty, we have lost the war, and almost everything!"

The Eagle God's voice roared in their ears, "I haven't even joined the war yet, how could I have lost! The gods have only taken a nap and already lost their priests?"

This ancient deity seemed to have just awakened from a long period of revival, appearing unusually furious, unlike the sacrificial deity who had appeared earlier, who was quite calm.

"Warriors who sacrifice to the gods, go and kill them, as offerings for the return of the gods!"

With a flap of its wings, the eagle brought those who had been captured back to the platform, right in front of them!
Upon hearing this, Ivan stepped forward without any hesitation, his obsidian spear seemingly gleaming with a special luster, ready to pierce their hearts!

All of these people knelt down and wailed in prayer before them!
"No! I'm a member of the Federation! You can't kill me!"

And there were others, those whose skin was even closer to theirs, who were kowtowing.

"No! We're just external employees, not even full members! We're compatriots too!"

"As fellow countrymen, yet you aid a foreign race, you deserve to die!" The Eagle God's voice echoed in Ivan's ears, and the obsidian spear pierced through the chests of everyone present!
Their blood was spilled all over the ground, but this time, no one felt the bloodshed.

When the eagle opened its beak and displayed such a miracle, all the Maya people truly recognized their own bloodline!
The next second, the eagle soared into the sky again, its enormous body leaving a deep impression on everyone.

A divine descent! This is a true divine descent!
But the FBI agents outside were completely dumbfounded!
As the eagle cried out in the video, all their surveillance cameras went off with a deafening roar!

Then there are their cell phones, their surveillance cameras, and even their vehicles.

Flames and explosions erupted before their eyes, making them feel the presence of an unknown entity, truly watching them.

At this moment, everyone lost all their external means of communication, and they truly felt what "fear" was!

Soon, the eagle flew back, but it was no longer the huge creature it had been before. Instead, it shrank to an ordinary eagle before circling and flying away.

People immediately understood that it was not the Eagle God himself, but the so-called "divine descent" that occurred because of the recent sacrifice!

The fervor in their eyes intensified!
On the altar, the priest Karl thought more than those around him!
He suddenly realized that his so-called weighing of options, manipulation of interests, and network of relationships were all meaningless at this moment!

The presence of gods in the world, the descent of gods to the mortal realm—this represents far too many things.

Most importantly, from now on, they are no longer those "domesticated creatures" who can be taken from at will; they now have a real support system behind them!

From then on, the roles of offense and defense changed!
