Chapter 724: Chapter 258 Ann-La_2

“Speak, everyone has the right to express their opinion. In front of the gods, we have no distinction.”

“…Thank you, High Priest.”

Gritting his teeth, the middle-aged man in the ceremonial robe admitted that in his impression, Kasim was an excellent Godhood Practitioner, one he believed himself incapable of matching.

If not for such a change, he felt he would never dare to challenge the other’s authority with words.

But now, after glancing obscurely at Aibu in the distance once more, the middle-aged man ignored the astonishment and warning in the other’s eyes and stepped forward.

“High Priest, what I want to say is, we have suffered too many disasters.”

“Fierce winds, heavy rains, plagues.”

“The dead returning to the world of the living, the Earth breaking in tremors.”

“You always told us this was the curse of the Evil God, the calamity brought by the sinful Hebrews, that All Gods would eventually end all this, but what was the result?”

“The Sun extinguished, the end of the Earth even appeared… I did not know what was happening until not long ago, I heard that Lord Aibu received a Divine Revelation!”

His tone gradually became fervent, as if grasping a strand of light in desperation, the middle-aged man’s voice grew more intense: “He said there were nine sky pillars in the sky, and then they each broke and collapsed.”

“He said the Sun was devoured by the Great Serpent, then divided by the god.”

“He also said the Earth was cut open, the Mortal Realm would inevitably break into pieces–before this, I also doubted him. Until yesterday when the envoys we sent told us the end of the Earth had appeared.”

“This is Prophecy!”

The voice echoed in the air, while Kasim quietly watched it all.

He did not care about what the middle-aged man was saying, he was just watching the people.

He saw the expressions of many change from hesitation to resolve, he saw more eyes begin to flicker. This was mortal, a rabble.

No one would speak out first; thus, they would not speak; but when they realize they are the ‘majority,’ they would become aggressive and attack.

If Kasim wanted to stop all this, what he should have most done was to tacitly allow the guards to seize him when the middle-aged man first stood out, killing it all in the cradle.

And even if it were too late to recoup, if he decisively made a decision now, people might be slightly dissatisfied but would fear his methods, no longer daring to be the first to speak out.

As long as they would not starve to death, except for the very faithful devout believers, the vast majority would not do anything truly outrageous. Having been the High Priest for so many years, he knew this best… but at this moment, Kasim chose the most passive approach.

He knew the person before him had no retreat but still insisted on letting him speak. Even though he would certainly try to incite more against him because it was his only chance for success.

“So, what do you want to say?”

Expression unchanged, Kasim asked indifferently.

“I want to say…”

Sweeping his gaze around, the middle-aged man saw many eyes. As if encouraged, he shouted loudly, “I want to say, all gods are dead!”

“Look, the blood waters of the Nile River!”

“Look, this shattered, divided world!”

“There is no hope; all gods are dead, just as Lord Aibu saw in the Divine Revelation. Ra has failed; the Sun has lost its light; no amount of praying would be meaningful for us!”

“The evil–of the Hebrews’ Lord is the true victor if we do not want to follow to die, then we must take action!”

Wow–

As the words fell, a clamor arose.

There were Egyptian fanatics of All Gods angrily shouting, and those who had heard Aibu’s distressed vision expressed support.

In an instant, the previously silent crowd became noisy. People vented their emotions to each other, releasing the fear and anxiety accumulated over time. As he watched all this, Kasim merely smiled and tapped the ground lightly with his staff.

Thump, thump, thump–

No matter what, his accumulated prestige over the years remained.

When the High Priest signaled, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Shaking his head slightly, Kasim looked at the previous middle-aged man and asked again,

“So, what do you want to do?”

With a smile on his face, without waiting for a reply, Kasim calmly reminded, “That is the God of the ‘Hebrews.’”

“They were once ‘sinners’ in the mouth of Ra, thus, if you wish to elevate Him to the altar, then are we also ‘born with sin’?”

The crowd quieted again, the middle-aged man seemed somewhat at a loss.

He did not know how to explain, after all, not long ago, they were cursing the failure of the Evil God.

“…Aibu, come forward.”

As expected… Raising his tone slightly, Kasim was not disappointed.

He looked at the somewhat bewildered Aibu from the start, although his skills were insufficient, time waits for no one.

Nonetheless, in the world of Godhood Practitioners, nothing held more status than being ‘Near-God.’ All else was incidental.

“Teacher, I–”

Stepping forward slowly, Aibu was still somewhat at a loss, but Kasim did not pause.

“They said you received a Divine Revelation.”

“I–”

“But the Hebrews claimed their god would only protect themselves, yet as an Egyptian, you still received a Divine Revelation that foretold the division of the Earth.”

Concluding in conversation, Kasim did not give him the chance to refute.

Looking directly into Aibu’s eyes, it seemed as if he meant something, and Aibu understood something.
