Chapter 0255 Hidden danger
"Confused?"
Sulu thought of Bucadi's words, and the career paths of the Seven Great Orthodox Churches were more or less flawed.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to know this.
“Yes… there are a lot of doubts.”
Rhode put down his beer and barbecue: "We are a group of poor people who are watched by the abyss... After being promoted to the rank, I often hear murmuring from the abyss in my ears... Sometimes it is like an axe, scattering my head hard, and sometimes it is like an awl nailed into my mind... sharp, harsh... so sad that people want to smash their heads..."
"The teacher told me that this is the influence of the demon, so I don't have to pay attention to it, deliberately forget it, believe in the goddess, and fight it..."
"But...when I prayed to the goddess of light, countless disturbances seemed to appear in my ears...I seemed to hear countless believers screaming and roaring...and there were also a large number of madmen calling for help and cursing in my ears...full of absurdity and arrogance, chaos..."
Rhode narrated the secret with a serious expression, which was something he had never revealed to his teacher.
"I seem to have read it in a religious book... If there are false beliefs and those who do not believe in praying, they will suffer the consequences... Do you not want to believe in the goddess of light?"
Su Lu understood that this brother’s belief was undevoted.
Or, I am not ready to hand over my faith to the goddess of light!
If it is in the Demonless World or Ragnarok's Twilight Period, this problem is nothing, but now, the problem is big!
Because of the special nature of the [Demon Hunter] profession, it is easy to be influenced by demons and needs to be fought at all times.
Even in the later stage, you will inevitably be unable to fight, and you must introduce a kind of "external force", and the most suitable one is the Goddess of Light!
Of course, in this way, the soul is first contracted by the demon and then falls into the hands of the goddess, and there is a danger of division!
"Haha... It turns out that the hardest thing to deceive yourself is yourself. You can see that. If you have to choose a belief, I only believe in myself!"
Rhode smiled.
Sulu was silent: "Since that's the case... why did you choose [Demon Hunter]?"
“At that time, I had no other choice.”
Rhode was silent and explained casually: "And... I thought my will was firm enough at the time, so I didn't have to worry about the problem of depravity before the fifth level... But later, I realized... in front of the whisper of the abyss, my personal will was as small as an ant. Several times, I almost fell a little bit, and I would directly 'fall'... Once a [demon hunting expert] like me fell, it would be very convenient, and it would immediately transform into a third-level [horned demon]! If there was really one day... kill me!"
He stared at Sulu with a serious tone.
"This is too cruel... I probably can't do it!" Sulu shook his head and asked tentatively: "If it were promoted to [Demon Hunter], would it be better?"
"No! As the ranks improve, this will only become more and more serious... I doubt that if this continues, until the day I will advance to the fifth level... I mean, if there is, I will definitely fall immediately, and there will be no second possibility!"
Rhode shook his head.
Sulu was speechless either.
This solution is actually very simple. Just sincerely believe in a certain god and pray for blessings.
But Rhodes seemed reluctant to do so.
To be honest, in my heart, Sulu didn't want to offer his faith to any existence, even if the other party was the "creator"!
It is really dangerous to fight depravity based on one's own will.
"So... even if I have enough merits and meet the conditions for promotion to [Demon Hunter], I may not dare to be promoted..."
Rhode sighed.
"Why...you are so resistant to the faith of the gods?"
Sulu was a little confused. To be fair, the churches of the Seven Gods are still reliable. So many people in the Federation go to the goddess' church to pray every week. The religious atmosphere is very strong, and no one can tell that there is any problem.
He is a time traveler and said another thing, why did Rhodes resist so much?
"I... found some broken pages left by my ancestors."
Rhode fiddled with the fire: "There are some secrets of the [Demon Hunter] profession recorded on it... After reaching the [Demon Hunter] stage, the risk of depravity is very high. Those who insist on it either join the church or fall completely, or before that, end their lives..."
"The content of the broken page I saw was about those who joined the church. Some of them defeated the temptation of the abyss by virtue of the grace and their will, cleansed their hearts, and successfully promoted to the fifth level [Paladin]... However, during that stage, they were all changed little by little and replaced... After the promotion was successful, it seemed like they had completely changed someone."
"Can you understand? The reason why a person is human is composed of everything he has... and after becoming a [Paladin], many ancestors became completely indifferent. They were originally very family-oriented, but they became completely disregardless of their family life and death. They only knew to serve the goddess of light wholeheartedly, as if they had become His crazy believers."
...
"A person's transformation can also be said to be an exception. Everyone is like this. It must be a trap hidden in the profession of [Paladin]?"
Sulu broke a branch.
In the Federation, the faith of the Goddess of Light Church is deeply rooted. Not to mention ordinary people, even professionals, they dare not speak any blasphemy, and they dare not even have any thoughts!
But after all, he is not a person from this world. He directly locks in the source and doubts the gods!
‘As a matter of fact… although some of Bucady’s words are half true, some of them are real… The gods do not want to see those who share their glory with them, and will deliberately suppress possible threats!’
This is not only for the outside but also for the inside.
Needless to say, the career path of the believer’s [Supporting Sacrifice] is the profession of the professions who follow this path, their bodies, minds, and even their souls, belong to the gods and cannot resist at all.
Even, the gods must allow them to advance to the higher level.
It is equivalent to being completely controlled.
In addition, [Warrior], [Worship Hunter] and other professions mastered by the church are more or less defective.
This is especially true of [Witch Hunter]!
"No...it's not true...after all, the soul of the [Demon Hunter] has been imprinted with the abyss' gaze... If you want to compete with this force, or to completely solve it, you must introduce the same level of power... let the power of the goddess of light completely enter the soul, drive away evil, and change certain essences by the way."
Sulu thoughtful: "This reminds me of the law mentioned in a certain classic... Once I am watched by a great existence, I will never be able to get rid of it. Even if I pray for another existence of the same level and give a response, the result will be only a replacement, not a complete solution!"
This means that once you are "marked" by a god-level "demon, goddess, etc., it is equivalent to jumping into a fire pit. At most, you choose to change to a fire pit and you will never get rid of it!
