Chapter 167
There’s one thing I keep forgetting every time I meet with Gulak, as if struck by lightning.
Lightning is both Gulak’s power and his symbol. Therefore, its meaning changes depending on how it strikes.
For example, if lightning strikes the altar where an offering has been placed, it can be interpreted as a positive response.
If the lightning strikes somewhere other than the altar, it’s a delay; if nothing happens at all, it’s a rejection.
Among these, if the lightning strikes the person who made the offering, it’s considered an overwhelmingly negative response.
It’s what people call ‘divine punishment.’ But I had momentarily forgotten this after being struck by lightning so many times.
The reason I’m explaining this now is because I’m currently in Gulak’s temple—the altar closest to Gulak himself.
“L-Lord Gulak is furious!”
“Who the hell is that guy? What did he do to make Lord Gulak deliver divine punishment?”
