I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Chapter 90. Is your mythology a dark history?

Why are there three chosen ones here?

Wait a minute! The one in the lead is not only God's chosen one, but also a chosen one?!

This place called the Void God Realm can give birth to Favored Ones?!

Hai Mo stared blankly at Luo Yue and the other two in front of her. The aloof and holy temperament on her face quickly crumbled, replaced by shock and excitement.

In the papacy's mythological narrative, "favored ones" and "chosen ones" are two completely different concepts and are difficult to compare.

Those who are favored by God are truly loved and cherished by Him; those who are chosen by God are merely those whom God has favored and who have received divine grace once or twice.

It's like the difference between a five-star character and a generic NPC in a pay-to-win mobile game.

As for ordinary believers, they don't even have the qualifications to enter the game, and they can't even appear in the sight of the gods.

The Vatican naturally has the means to distinguish between believers, God's chosen ones, and God's favored ones. In Haimo's eyes, the three of them, including Roy and his companion, were genuine God's favored ones and God's chosen ones.

Since he already has a favorite and a chosen one, then this ruler must be the true god without a doubt!

So Luo Yue didn't even need to create a persona for himself; Hai Mo had already come to his side and was about to kneel down.

Those who are God's agents on earth are like angels on earth, and believers should worship them.

Seeing this, Luo Yue was somewhat helpless and quickly said, "Stand up, don't kneel. This is not your papacy, we do not follow your rituals."

These words startled Haimo, who then hurriedly stood up.

Ritual represents a tradition and set of rules of faith that cannot be violated; otherwise, it will be considered blasphemy.

"Alright, come with us. Let us teach you the rules here first."

As Luo Yue spoke, she called to Hai Mo, who was standing there in a daze, and told her to follow her.

The group then returned to the cigar club. Luo Yue first showed Hai Mo the notices there, while Celesina and Don Quixote helped explain them to her, helping her understand their current situation as quickly as possible.

About half an hour later, Haimo stood up, clenched her fist, and said confidently, "I understand!"

Luo Yue nodded in agreement, thinking that this guy was actually quite easy to handle.

But then, Haimo continued, "The Governor is also one of the gods high in the heavens, a descendant of the supreme creator god. However, His divine kingdom is located in the void, making it difficult for mortals to see Him or behold His divine light. Therefore, His name cannot be proclaimed in the mortal world—"

This is a dereliction of duty on our part as clergy. We humbly request Your Excellency to bestow divine punishment upon us and cleanse us of our sins.

Luo Yue: "...

'

What is this guy even talking about?

What on earth did I imagine? Why did they suddenly give me a father?

Luo Yue was speechless at her words, unsure of what to say. He could only let Hai Mo hold his hand and continue, "Fortunately, the Archon, who resides in the void, did not depart with the Father God. He remained, continuing to protect and guide us lost fools. And you, as His chosen one, should follow in your footsteps, to chant the Archon's name, and to proclaim His great deeds and miracles!"

Clearly, Haimo mistakenly believed that his true form was also one of the gods from two thousand years ago, but because he was in the void and unknown to others, he escaped the fall of the gods two thousand years ago and thus survived to this day.

It's like a scion of a noble family who was exiled to the frontier and miraculously escaped annihilation. Adding a twist involving annulment of the engagement and the extraction of a supreme bone would make it even more appealing.

Religious minds, you can't mess with them, you can't mess with them.

Luo Yue quickly pulled his hand away from Hai Mo's hand, which took a lot of effort. This girl looked delicate and slender, but she had a very strong grip.

Then he tried to salvage the character's image, but Seresina suddenly had a look of realization and said, "I see, it fits! It all fits!"

Huh? What did you match up this time?

Don Quixote, standing nearby, asked thoughtfully, "You mean—the mystery of the tranquility of the void?"

"Yes, I've long believed that the tranquility of the void is related to the Archon, and I believe you feel the same way, right? But I've always had some doubts and haven't dared to be sure."

Seresina didn't explicitly state what her lingering question was, but it wasn't hard to guess.

I'm just not sure if the Governor is a true god.

Now that Haimo, the newly crowned Holy Maiden, has confirmed the Governor's identity, his identity is now clear.

Even the saints say He is God, who can refute that? He understands God better than the Vatican, right?

Thus, the mystery of the tranquility of the void was solved. Since a true god was sitting in the depths of the void, those rampant demons naturally quieted down.

As for why the Void only became calm sixteen years ago, Selene has many thoughts on this. For example, although the Archon was in the Void, he was also affected by the fall of the gods and only recently began to recover.

His current appointment of followers and chosen ones, and his intention to expand his power, are likely aimed at accelerating the recovery through worldly faith.

Serishina felt that her ideas were reasonable and well-founded, but it was inconvenient for her to discuss them openly.

To speak ill of deities is a sin of blasphemy!

Don Quixote, the sixth son, was much more perceptive than she was; he simply nodded repeatedly, smiling without saying a word.

Although he had been exploring the secrets of this divine realm, he never participated in such topics.

As for Royo, he was probably infected by Celesina's confidence and wondered if he had created the peace of the void.

If that's the case, then the image of the governor is probably secure; as long as he doesn't expose himself, this persona won't fall off.

We might be able to use this to make a profit in the future, but that requires careful planning. Right now, we need to learn more about the myths of the new world from Haimo and see if we need to make some minor adjustments to the main character's persona.

Since this newly crowned saintess insists on deifying herself, let's see if this title can bring any real benefits.

At Royal's request, Haimo began to recount the myth of the New World in a solemn and serious tone.

It's not just dry talk; they also draw with pencils, and sing when they get to the important parts.

To be fair, she really does sing very well. Her voice is ethereal and melodious, with a unique charm that keeps Luo Yue listening intently.

But the more he listened, the more he frowned.

Well, the gods and angels in these stories put on a lot of airs, but they didn't actually do much human work.

The overall tone is that one minute they're showing off their divine powers on one side of the mountain, and the next they're showing off on the other side.

They are extremely cruel in dealing with unbelievers and heretics, often unleashing divine punishment and wiping out entire families; or they use the guise of "tests" to torture and toy with humans in various ways; or they use the pretext of "protection" to draw red lines that cannot be crossed.

For example, it is forbidden to impart extraordinary knowledge to ordinary people, and it is forbidden to advance to the eighth rank, etc.

After recording this long list of dark history, Luo Yue couldn't even tell whether these believers were true fans or haters.
