How hard can a person’s mouth be?
In the past, Zuo Si would think that when the transition from verbal communication to physical communication was made, generally speaking, no matter how hard your mouth was before, it would quickly soften when you taste the taste of a fist hitting your face.
This is also why a large number of people like to make trouble on the Internet and compete with others at high intensity all day long, never willing to admit that their opinions and language logic are even slightly wrong.
Even if you know clearly that it is wrong, you still have to keep going on with it.
But in real life, it's the complete opposite. They may even be taciturn and don't even have the courage to express their thoughts and attitudes.
Because the costs and prices they need to bear are different.
The former is in the virtual world, where they don’t know each other at all. Even if they offend each other to death, they can’t crawl over the network cable to have physical communication.
Therefore, it has naturally become a dumping ground suitable for venting dissatisfaction, anger and other emotions. Some social platforms have even earned the reputation of being an Internet cesspool.
However, the latter is in the real world, and any excessive verbal expression and emotional venting may lead to serious consequences.
Moreover, it may also lead to "social death", family breakdown, loss of jobs, partners and friends. The cost and price to be borne are simply too high.
Especially when the communication escalates from verbal communication to physical communication, the party who does not have the upper hand in physique or fighting skills will usually quickly change their attitude and admit their mistakes.
However, Cyric, who fell into madness, overturned Zuo Si's cognition.
He saw with his own eyes that this guy was beaten day and night by the gods of the world of Toril for several days. His whole body was beaten out of shape, but he still kept shouting that he was "the only true god".
All "false gods" will kneel down to obey their own will and beg for their forgiveness.
Not only that!
While being beaten, Cyric did not forget to use his talents in sarcasm, sarcasm, and provocation, constantly insulting every god in sight.
This has led to many neutral gods who originally didn't want to get involved to join the group fight.
Anyway, no matter how you get beaten, you still have to take advantage of yourself.
Even Zuo Si had to admit that in the "hard-talking world", Cyric was definitely unparalleled and unmatched in history.
Finally, after beating this guy for seven days, the gods gradually became tired of this "education" method that had no actual effect no matter how hard they beat him.
After discussion, the god of craftsman Gond used his clergy and divine power to forge a chain, and the goddess of magic Midnight enchanted it herself. She directly tied up the King of Lies and pinned him to the ground. Tyr, the god of justice, presided over the convening on the spot.
Judgment.
Bang!
I saw Tyr knocking hard on the table shaped by divine power, and scolded condescendingly: "Cyric! Are you still unwilling to admit your guilt until now?"
"Plead guilty? Hahahahaha! You should be the ones guilty!"
Cyric was still shouting wildly and unrepentantly, as if he was not worried at all about the upcoming reckoning and his own fate.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that he is really crazy and not just pretending.
But soon, the God of Death Klenvor kicked this guy hard in the face, stepping his entire face into the soil and rocks, stopping more unpleasant content or words from spewing out of his mouth.
Curse.
Tempus, the God of War, frowned and asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you sure it is still necessary to go through the trial process? I don't think that in Cyric's current state, he will plead guilty and be punished."p>
"I have a way to bring this crazy king of lies back to normal."
Having said that, Ogma, the God of Knowledge, turned his attention to Zuo Si, who had been hiding behind him and watching the show silently, and teased half-jokingly: "How long do you plan to let this farce continue?
Could it be that he wanted the gods to beat him to death?
Believe me, no one will kill a god in public, even if he commits an unforgivable crime.
Hurry up and take out the book "The True Biography of Cyric" and read it again.
Let this end as soon as possible so that I can return to my own country and conduct some interesting research."
Zuo Si responded with a gloating expression on his face: "Please don't misunderstand.
I don't expect any god to kill only Cyric.
I just think it’s fun to watch him keep being beaten up with his bad mouth.
In addition, it will take some time for my mechanical angels and demon legions to completely clear out everything in this country.
But now...
It’s no longer needed.”
Having said that, Zuo Si paused deliberately, raised his head and glanced around at the bare surroundings, leaving only a small piece of intact land under his feet that had been completely weathered by strong winds all year round.
As for other places, they have long been dug into the shape of cheese riddled with holes.
Some of the places that had been destructively mined were so hollowed out inside that large-scale collapses occurred as soon as the support structures built by Shuoyou Machinery were removed.
Fortunately, after the end of the war, those coalition petitioners withdrew to their respective gods’ kingdoms in advance, otherwise they might not even have a place to set up camp.
Not to mention magical metals such as mithril, fine gold, cold iron, flaming iron, gold, silver, and platinum, precious metal veins and gemstone veins, even ordinary iron, copper, tin, aluminum, magnesium, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, etc.
All the metal veins have been dug up.
The remaining fresh water resources and timber resources were all packed away by Zuo Si's "demolition brigade". Some of the stones and sand that were stronger and could be used as building materials were also not spared.
It can be said that in Cyric's country right now, apart from himself and some worthless, barren tunnels that are full of pits and may collapse at any time, there is only the strong wind blowing from the elemental plane of wind.
Not to mention that mice will shed tears after looking at them. Even high-level undead who don’t need to eat or drink may go crazy if they stay in such a place for a long time.
Karigos, the demigod with the vocations of "War", "Weapons Skills", "Destruction" and "Plunder", has re-understood what efficient plunder and destruction are.
He can guarantee that after Zuo Si's crazy destruction, Cyric will at least have to endure the loneliness without the service of any believers and petitioners for a long time, and it will take decades or even hundreds of years to restore his kingdom.
Return to life.
Of course, the premise is that Cyric can survive the weakness and massive decline in faith after the trial, and does not go to the star world to lie dead.
If other gods were treated in this way, at least a few allies or neutral gods would stand up and say something fair.
But the problem is that when the Prince of Lies went crazy, he offended everyone. Not only did no one want to speak for him, but everyone was interested in watching this guy suffer bad luck.
Some gods with relevant vocations also appeared to help guide the "demolition brigade" to dig out the mineral veins hidden deepest underneath.
We even unearthed several treasures left over from ancient times, as well as an unknown creature sealed in a huge block of ice.
As the most famous place of exile in the Outer Planes, the Noisy Tunnel obviously has a lot of interesting and dangerous things.
Zuo Si plans to send a team of devils to stay here after he returns, specifically to inquire and find things he is interested in.
But for now, he still took out the "True Biography of Cyric" as requested by the God of Knowledge, and began to recite its contents in front of the gods and Cyric.
Although at the beginning, the latter showed extreme resistance and uncooperation.
But after the god of tyranny raised his arms and gave the two big guys a bag, and forcibly grabbed his hair and pulled his whole head up, he soon became much more honest.
As the story in the book described in detail how Cyric transformed from a mortal to a god in the Turbulent Years, the madness in this guy's eyes began to quickly fade away, replaced by a kind of fear that could not be described in words.
Deeply fearful and trembling.
Especially after realizing the current situation, the most powerful god in the former country even began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and his face became as pale as a vampire.
He is not a fool and understands that he is basically no different from a prisoner now.
The only good thing is that Io, the God of Gods, did not personally take action, otherwise he would either be lying dead in the star realm or have been demoted to a mortal.
Cyric, who is in a conscious state, is undoubtedly very aware of how those former enemies and offended gods will play with, torture, humiliate, and abuse him if he becomes a mortal.
Just one Death God Klanvor is enough for him to drink a pot.
After all, after becoming a god, the Prince of Lies released an ancient evil creature, the Chaos Demon Dog Kozif, in an attempt to permanently destroy his soul.
As revenge, even if Kelanvor detained his soul in the City of Judgment and tortured it for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, other gods would not think there was any problem.
Therefore, the more Cyric thought about it, the more he became afraid, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was doomed.
"Ah - it seems that our great and only true God has returned to his senses. I think the trial can continue."
Zuo Si closed the book in his hand with a snap, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Tier, who was in charge of presiding over the trial, signaling that his work was completed.
The God of Justice spoke no nonsense and immediately asked loudly: "Cyric! You have not fulfilled your clerical duties! You have blatantly slandered and blasphemed His Majesty Io, the God of God! Infringing on the authority and domain of other gods! Now I use the gods to
You are pronounced guilty in the name of Parliament, do you have anything to explain?"
Upon hearing this extremely serious accusation, Cyric immediately argued hoarsely: "No!!!!!! I'm not guilty! Everything was caused by that book! I was controlled by that book!"
