Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

The wide open space in the center of Jumu Town was already crowded with people.

Facing the temple of Zeus, the King of Gods, a temporary wooden platform has been set up. It had been prepared for a theatrical performance that had ended, but by this time it had been enlarged again and several more rows of seats had been added.

Ender's performance only requires one person, but the trial of the unbelievers gathers all the people with a certain status in this small town. The priests of the Temple of Law are undoubtedly at the top of the list, and they will be the ones who give the results of this trial.

However, the referee should not be off the field, so the people who really reprimanded the unbelieving person were actually the other people sitting there.

At this time, half of the people were already sitting in front of the tables and chairs on the high platform. They talked and laughed with each other, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they didn't care about what happened next. After all, the outcome of this trial was self-evident.

Human beings were created by God, the Creator is still in the world, and the blessings of the gods are real. They really can't think of what kind of words the unbeliever would use to exonerate himself.

This is more of an entertainment event than a trial. Because of that drama master, the recently built Jumu Town has recently gathered a large number of immigrants. Therefore, holding an event in the name of God on the grounds of judging the unbelievers is why the priests of the temple are so enthusiastic.

They had even thought of how to deal with the poor guy in advance - just let him serve the temple for the rest of his life. Anyway, at this time, humans did not have the death penalty, and the gods did not clearly say what they would do to the unbelievers, and most importantly, the guy did not have time to perform any truly blasphemous act.

His current behavior is more like a fool who suddenly went crazy, although everyone who has come into contact with him thinks he is a good guy.

"So what did the unbeliever do? Did he refuse to offer sacrifices to the gods?"

Standing among the crowd below the high platform, Cohen relied on his excellent physique and sense of balance to stand on an irregular boulder. Here, everything on the high platform can be seen at a glance.

"That's not true. Although there are some irreverent guys who do this, that unbeliever is different."

Holding firmly on Cohen's sleeve, Evans stood on the top of the boulder. The surface of the stone was very smooth, and without Cohen, he felt like he might fall off at any time.

But despite being nervous, Evans was also a little excited, which is why he chose to stay up there.

"It is said that the unbelieving person is not opposed to sacrificing to the gods. He is just opposed to belief in the gods. That's what he seemed to say. This is why we call him the 'unbelieving person'."

"But having said that, offering sacrifices to gods means believing in gods. I don't quite understand his thoughts anyway. There are so many people gathered here today, and many of them are actually prepared to watch his jokes. Everyone wants to hear, How could he be both 'sacrificial' and 'unfaithful'?"

Nodding, relying on his extraordinary hearing, while talking to Evans, Cohen gradually understood the whole story from the exchanges between people around him.

The reason why the unbelieving person was arrested was not because he made any direct blasphemous act or refused to sacrifice. On the contrary, he usually behaved no differently from other people.

He would regularly go to the temple to offer sacrifices and was never dissatisfied with the priests. In fact, the only thing he did was to openly question the nobility of the gods in Giant Wood Town.

He believed that sacrifice and faith were different. Sacrifice represents recognition of God's power, while faith represents recognition of God's spirit. But this unbeliever feels that on a spiritual level, gods and humans are equal, and among equal beings, there is naturally no belief.

So while he offered sacrifices to the gods, he also expressed that he did not recognize the gods' code of conduct. He offered sacrifices to the gods because of the difference in strength, and he did not believe in gods because of spiritual equality.

It is difficult to directly judge him guilty for this kind of behavior. After all, his unbelief is only based on thoughts that cannot be judged, and his actual behavior is blameless. Therefore, the priests decided to hold a trial and let all the people watching decide the fate of the unbelievers.

At least that's what they say and think until now.

"There's no need to think too much about it. It's just the lies of an ignorant person. The Creator strives for excellence when creating our bodies, but that's all. There are always a few not-so-smart guys like this."

Waving his hand, Evans looked around. This was the first time he stood at such a high place. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something,

"Here, look, that's the unfaithful man. I thought he would be guarded, but I didn't expect that he came here on his own."

"Let me see."

Looking for reputation, Cohen was about to recognize someone. In that direction, a young man dressed in black and with a friendly smile was walking towards the high platform. While walking on the road, he even had time to say hello to others.

However, just such a young man made Cohen's spirit tense instantly.

At the same time, as if he felt Cohen's gaze, the guy he was looking at also focused his gaze on him. A short distance apart, the two people looked at each other from a distance.

".The unbeliever you are talking about is the guy in black."

His tone remained unchanged, but the power was already flowing through his body. The young man in black was handsome and had a gentle smile, not at all like the 'stupid' unbeliever rumored to be. But in him, Cohen felt a faint sense of threat.

In addition, there is an extremely negative emotion.

"That's him. Why, have you seen him before?"

Seemingly aware of the change in Cohen's attitude, Evans couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know him. By the way, do you know his name?"

Since discovering the other party, Cohen has not taken his eyes away. This is a dangerous person, but if possible, he does not want to fight with the opponent here. After all, an existence that can make him feel a little threatened, even if the other party is not his opponent, the traces of the battle between the two sides are enough to easily destroy the town.

But obviously, Evans on the side had no idea who the person next to him and the unbeliever in the distance were. He and everyone in the town are also wandering on the line of life and death.

"What about a name? His name is a bit difficult to pronounce. Let me think about it——"

After thinking briefly, Evans affirmed:

"Mephisto, or Mephisto? They are almost the same in anti-righteousness, who knows."

"Now that the rightful owner has arrived, the trial should also begin. I hope this guy will not be powerless in front of the priests and at least say something. Do you think this is the truth?"

Cohen didn't reply. He had just arrived at the human tribe and bumped into such a special guy. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something.

But it has to be said that after listening to Evans' words, Cohen was alert and could not help but have some expectations for the trial.

Although I don't know why such a dangerous guy came to be 'judged', the reality is that Cohen will not insist on getting to the bottom of it. But what would a guy with such a strong negative emotion say about faith and gods?

In this regard, Cohen, who has been seeking answers all the way, still wants to know.
