Chapter 184: The South and the North
After listening to Ansu recount every word of the divine decree, a flash of surprise crossed Celia's eyes, and they widened slightly.
"Use the blood of heretics... to cast the foundation of a new world. Did the deity really say that?"
She analyzed it thoughtfully, "It certainly sounds like she's calling upon the faithful to wage war, much like the holy wars the Church of Holy Light launched alongside the expansion of the Empire..."
Ansu nodded. From this perspective, the so-called Chosen One was far from the radiant and righteous figure people imagined; instead, they were more like the primary enforcer for expanding a deity's faith.
However, it aligned perfectly with his initial cynical suspicions; he had long felt that the gods harbored no good intentions.
"How ironic..." Celia clicked her tongue, glancing toward the door.
"I wonder how that pious and foolish follower of the light out there would feel if you told her this."
Celia suddenly broke into a mischievous grin.
She was actually looking forward to seeing the expression of despair on the Holy Maiden's face when her faith finally collapsed.
