38. What should I do if the novice gods accidentally give too much divine power to make believers go crazy? It’s very urgent to wait online(1/2)
In desperation, Lady Dejana took the last remaining high-ranking priests in the Great Temple to pray to the Shadow Moon.
This thing sounds quite deviant. After all, in the nearly four thousand years since the dark trolls approached the Well of Eternity and were reshaped into night elves, faith in the moon god Elune has been the only true faith of the empire.
Although Queen Azshara preferred the magic from the Well of Eternity and deviated from the true faith of the Moon God, even such a deviant ruler did not dare to order the empire to abandon Lady Elune's faith.
All because the more powerful the spellcaster, the more powerful and endless wisdom contained in the ancient Moon God's magic can be felt. Arrogant mages can despise ignorant beliefs but cannot ignore the true power, such as Azshara.
The "Daughter of the World" of the highest level can directly feel the divine presence of Lady Elune from the radiance of the Moon Goddess.
In this magical world, the majesty of the true God is unquestionable.
But Lady Elune's sect has stood on this land for more than four thousand years. The original teachings have been continuously improved by the priests, but no one has ever proposed the concept of "Dark Moon" or "Shadow Moon".
This sounds incompatible with the benevolent and compassionate bright moon, and also conflicts with the order of respecting life and protecting life advocated by the moon god.
That is to say, the belief of the elves has existed for a relatively long time, and the priests of Elune are all very Buddhist and not so radical. Otherwise, Maiev, who was a trainee priest before, would not accept Elune like Ms. Dejana.
When the high-ranking priests of the Sisterhood of Grace proposed the concept of the "Shadow Moon", it was time for Miss Shadowsong to be tied to the stake and experience the feeling of a barbecue carnival.
This is equivalent to openly promoting the doctrine of shadow in the Church of Holy Light. If you encounter a fanatical believer like Isenlien, you will probably roll up your sleeves and fight on the spot.
It is very deviant and has no doctrinal support. It is like some kind of cool, trendy and evil "spiritual idol" imagined out of thin air by innocent little girls who are immersed in the sour first love.
But the current high-level priests can no longer control so much.
They are not the only ones trapped in the great temple. In the temple area three floors below, there is also Lord Ravencrest and his last warriors fighting against the trapped beasts.
The wilderness demigods who came to help had been trapped on the battlefield by cunning demons who summoned reinforcements. It was obvious that the destroyers from the twisted void had rich war experience in dealing with super-level life forms.
They know very well how to continue to accomplish their stated war goals while dealing with disruptions caused by strong players.
If there is no "miracle", the elf resistance army headed by Lord Kutalos Ravencrest will be completely wiped out by the demons in thirty minutes at most.
Although the priests are clergy, they are not stupid.
They knew very well that when Queen Azshara had fallen into some kind of hopeless dark fantasy and let the demons massacre civilians, Ravencrest, who raised an army to resist, was the last hope of the Elf Empire.
If he dies in this battle, then this land belonging to the moon god Elune will forever fall into the hands of the alien destroyer.
Under the stimulation of such a dark future, let alone trying to pray to the "Shadow Moon" in a desperate situation, even if an evil god pops up in front of them to negotiate terms with them, these sincere priests will not hesitate for long.
What they want to protect is not just life, what is being talked about now is "hope".
"boom"
On the dome of the great temple that was shattered by the Lord of the Abyss, the grinning horror demons lying there kept throwing evil magic to attack the hall that only had a trace of divine power left.
Broken rocks continued to fall from the sky and hit the weak and injured priests, but the prayers had already begun.
High Priest Ms. Dejana half-knelt in front of the altar covered with dust and blood. The statue of Elune with only half a body left was covered with cracks.
Only half of the statue was still crumbling amid the earth-shaking offensive, which seemed to symbolize some kind of bleak and unknown future.
The priests have absolutely no teachings on the Shadow Moon.
They can only "make temporary efforts". Fortunately, these sisters are all religious talents who have been chanting scriptures all year round. It is not too difficult to come up with a prayer for the Moon of Shadows at this critical time.
"The Moon of Shadows that hangs high above the disasters of all living beings, with the painful blood of this war and disaster as a sacrifice, your servants pray to you that your darkest and most ruthless moon phase will appear here.
We pray to you for cold miracles, killing in the name of salvation in the dim moonlight, punishment based on order, and destruction led by hope.
Your servants pray here in despair, praising your shadowy name in the midst of approaching death."
Ms. Dejana used her excellent religious experience to improvise a prayer.
She recited it first, and then the priests behind her recited it again.
To be honest, for these sincere sisters, the pressure of reciting this prayer of corruption is no less than asking them to carry a big blade to fight the devil.
Given their status within the Sisterhood of Elune, doing something like this would be tantamount to public "blasphemy".
But again, isn’t there nothing we can do about it?
After reciting it three times, no vision occurred, and the bricks on the dome above exploded, and several ferocious demons howled and pounced down, surrounding the priests.
This was when real despair set in, and their last-minute prayers failed to save them.
Ms. Dejana shook her head in despair, gritted her teeth and grabbed a ritual moon blade for sacrifice from the black crow priest next to her. She supported her body with the completely unedged ritual weapon, looking sad to herself.
The sisters said:
"The gods have not responded. We have to rely on ourselves now. Sisters, in the name of Elune, drive out these demons who have desecrated the temple. We have to..."
"Where did such an unprofessional guy come from!"
A loud sound on the spiritual level interrupted Ms. Dejana's final declaration, and the other desperate priests were also pulled into the spiritual call at this moment.
Their souls separated from their bodies, and everything around them seemed to have stopped in time.
In their dazed eyes, a cold black moon covered the sky and rose above the Suramar Plains at this moment, just like a black sun hanging high in the clouds.
In the shining light that changes the world, the stars gathered by the black moon reflect the cold light gauze.
The world has gone dark.
Because a black moon shrouded the sky, it was certain that it was not here to bless you.
"You guys can't even pronounce the names of the gods correctly when you pray? Do you still want me to send you blessings like this? If I don't hit you false believers with a few thunderbolts, it's already for the sake of Lady Elune.
Already."
A dissatisfied voice yelled loudly in this place shrouded by the black moon:
"Why don't you pray to the Fallen Moon? What else is it called the Shadow Moon? Can I have a formal name? Forget it this time and remember it clearly next time.
When praying, chant the name of ‘Lord Moon Shadow’.
At the end of the prayer salute me again, chant the prayer and don't look so gloomy as if the whole world owes you money.
Smile!
Do you understand smile?
Even if you are about to die, you must maintain your dignity.
This is called professionalism!
I’m telling you, why don’t you be more professional?”
Several Priests of the Moon were dumbfounded.
These sincere sisters had no idea that their desperate move would actually summon a great being who was suspected of being a true god.
As high-level priests of Elune, they can clearly feel the illusion of the moon in front of them even in their spiritual bodies. Although its form is completely different from Elune's divine magic, it is still the moon god's inner self.
Strength extension.
Like twins of light and darkness.
This is definitely not a heresy that will be tied to the stake, this is a true extension of the doctrine. At this desperate moment when the empire is about to collapse, Lady Elune once again sends down the supreme grace...
Oh, by the way, there is also the ruthless Lord Moon Shadow.
"Okay, I'm pissed off by you unprofessional guys, but who hasn't had this first time?"
The voice said angrily:
"What you asked for has been given. Now, take the moon blades in your hands and send those miserable fel creations to their hell of stars.
Rejoice, priests.
The first batch of Black Moon Watchers were born. From now on, you will have a place in Elune's Temple of the Moon.
The brightness of the bright moon needs to be guarded by the dark moon blade. You will walk in darkness but still serve the light.
Finally, the saint of Moon Shadow has arrived.
She is in the city of Suramar. She is the chosen one by the Black Moon. When this time of crisis comes, the person blessed by the Black Moon will become your leader...
What are you still doing here?
Go out and kill!
Do you still want me to entertain you for a meal?"
Amidst the scolding, the spirits of several high-ranking priests headed by Ms. Dejana were violently thrown back into their bodies.
Several elderly elder sisters were a little confused for a while, but the demons around them would not leave them the chance to continue to be stunned.
The fear demon rushed forward with its teeth and claws. The priests retreated hurriedly and saw the dim moonlight falling from the sky and covering their bodies. The cold veil of stars and moon enveloped these priests in an attitude of alternating reality and reality.
Create gorgeous and thick watch armor for them.
The moon blades placed around the hall for ritual moments are also covered with a layer of cold moon veil. The wisdom of the Black Moon Watcher is sent into the minds of these priests like a divine revelation, and those battle skills that have been tempered over time are stuffed in one after another.
The priest sisters screamed in pain, but before their brains could react, their bodies had already started to move.
Ms. Dejana, who had been Ms. Elune's high priest in charge of preaching and reciting scriptures, watched with wide eyes as her body did a 720-degree Watcher somersault in the air, and kicked the person who was coming towards her.
On the forehead of the Horror.
The power of the black moon's confinement took effect, causing the ferocious demon to scream and spin around in place.
Its vision was completely sealed, as if it were blind.
To be continued...
