Chapter 389: Fallen God
"A fallen god?"
"[It’s just a coined term we used. That god didn’t really fall from the sky and remained on the ground. Contrary, it was the opposite. He was denied ascension due to his actions. And yes, before we ascended, we are regular gods that can be seen and interacted by humans so its normal for gods to walk with humans before most gods ascended. Nowadays, these new gods are now training here, so we no longer send them down there. As for this guy, during his path of training to ascension, he got into a conflict with a god that I have no idea the mastery of and it turned into a conflict that soon ended up in the favor of the fallen god while the loser ended up losing his life as a result.]"
"But since he killed that naless god, he was punished by it?" Elaina guessed.
"[Indeed. God slaying is sothing that only happens when a regular human does it and wields weapons that can kill a god. That’s when we call these individuals, God Slayers. Of course, these god slayers were the Creator God’s creation to punish and cull the gods who are making dangerous things that are not fitting for the gods that are supposed to ascend. Just like the god who developed dark magic. Due to his contribution of creating dark magic, God Slayers took action and killed the god who made it, allowing the dark magic to not spread far. Of course, it still ended up in bad hands but thankfully, it didn’t spread too much to the point that everyone will be able to use it.]"
"So what about this god? What was his na again? Tachikaz or sothing?"
"[Tanolichkaz. He was a regular god but since he killed a god due to their conflict, he was punished for it, denying his ascension to godhood and was sentenced to beco a regular human with his powers all sealed up. At least, that’s what supposed to happen. It was what supposed to happen but it seems that guy has decided to not repent and instead choose this thod so that he can ascend to Godhood.]
"thod?"
"[To be worshipped as a god by many humans. Even if he is denied godhood, he can still attain it once soone is being worshipped as one. It is sothing that was done as a way to ascend to godhood but those are extre rare cases since most of the gods did not bother to be gathering followers just to be treated like an all powerful god. So just wanted peace and would appreciate a few thanks but not a total worship like being revered most of the ti. Since the Creator God denied this, the only way for him to regain his godhood is by this way. And from the looks of it, although his previous powers were sealed, he managed to create magic that would allow him to utilize the mind of the people and let them believe he is so kind of god.]"
"Then, does that an..."
"[If you are thinking about this odd rule of his about twins destroying what he built, it might be a precognitive dreams that allows him to get a little glimpse into the future. He is seeing himself get defeated or perhaps all his hardwork has been turned to dust as a result and it was done by a twins. Which is why he is so adamant in destroying and killing all those who bear twins in fear that he will be denied of his godhood once again.]"
This little revelation made a bit more sense to Elaina. Learning about this, there is a big chance that in the future, the ones who will be ending his reign is none other than Adelaide and Arthur. Although it was just a small theory she ca up in her head, Elaina couldn’t help but be worried about it.
"Since you said these dreams he was seeing is allowing him to see the future, does that an he is planning to change his fate?"
"[Yes. The Goddess of Fate is always doing her best to keep the fate of everyone in check and for unlucky individuals, she gives them prophetic dreams to warn them on their impending doom which would allow them to rethink of their actions and do sothing that would allow them to save themselves instead of dying. As for this fallen god, it was an innate power of him to get this dreams and not necessarily the help done by the Goddess of Fate herself.]
Hearing this, Elaina rembered in the past that the one who had these prophetic dreams were none other than the Pope himself. Which ans there is a huge likelihood that the god nad Tanolichkaz and the Pope himself are just one person. It does make sense considering just ntioning who was their god was and who they needed to worship for is none other than the Pope himself, she is certain about this now. That Pope is not hiding his background at all, after all, he was confident no one will know about him.
Although fearing for the future, Elaina shook her head. This information is a lot to take in and although she knew the real situation and how to understand what the mory was all about, considering that this information is coming from a god themselves, Elaina couldn’t reveal that she was always in contact with the God of Farming with the others. Even if these people are soone she can trust, the revelation that the gods favor her more is sothing that would sprout more jealousy and she didn’t want that to happen to her close friends and people. This secret will remain on her.
For now, she needed to use this information to look for more clues in the real world which will allow her to use that information to reveal the real truth. Maybe in the future, or maybe soon enough. She doesn’t know.
"Tanolichkaz...sounds like a ancient na," Yona was the first to speak after the dream faded.
"So it was indeed true. And looking at how quick the brainwashing process happened, that was quite fast. And just by looking at soone who has the power to say it, he managed to brainwash the Emperor without much problem," Rakkan said with a shake in his head.
"Considering this mory was related to brainwashing, how about we cast a spell that allows us to detect if we are brainwashed? Since we watched that video, who knows if the power of that guy also pierces through the dreams?" Yona suggested.
Liliana agreed. "Good idea. If he managed to brainwash Alfred that fast with just a ntion of a na, we should also needed to be tested if we got infected by it as well. What about you, Miss Witch? Are you sure you are not brainwashed by that?"
"We can only see. Instead of using my magic, how about we use this tool instead? It sprays powder to all of us and those who are brainwashed will have the powder stick to them. It is very potent that even if one is hiding that they are being brainwashed, they will still be detected by it."
Rakkan recognize the tool and nodded. "Ah, the ntal Disruptor Detector. I didn’t know you also had this, a witch from the past does have all the tools they needed. No wonder when the magic era has yet to rise, witches are being feared because of these new knowledge and tools. Who would have thought that in the future, these tools that were introduced would end up becoming a regular tool for usage?"
Placing the tool, Yona activated the tool and a powder was sent into the air and slowly falls towards everyone. However, not a single speck of those powder remained and all seems to just pass through everyone like it wasn’t there to begin with.
"It just passed through..." Elaina frowned.
Yona took the tool again and deactivated it before chuckling. "Looks like everyone is in the clear. With the powder passing straight to everyone before disappearing, that mory earlier didn’t induce brainwashing power like the original one did which is a fortunate thing. Still, troubleso that we have to do that just to prove we are not brainwashed or anything."
"It’s good for asure. Anyways, we now know that this Tanolichkaz guy is the one responsible for all of this. That ans all we needed to do is inform the royal family about this news. How long do you think before the Luminiera Kingdom will wage war soon, Grandpa?" Elaina asked.
"Considering that Alfred had said that they are still in preparation phase. Might be around one to two years max. Considering that Darcero Kingdom’s military might is not to be trifled with, Luminiera Kingdom will needed quite so ti to prepare for the invasion. However, it might proceed faster depending on the situation so informing the Royal Family in advance to make advance preparation will be much more ideal."
Hearing this, Elaina ca up with a plan. She have read the records of various wars and one of the main key problems during war is the supply of food due to the situation being dangerous, trades and farming lands are likely to be very low due to the war and this will only get worse if the war continues, which is why Elaina is planning to use her farming skills to spread the plants that she will be planting in the future.
A plan to make the soldiers energized and full powered without any food shortage. A big opportunity indeed!
