Give Me the Name of God

"What he said makes sense, what he says makes sense..."

Along the way, Manda kept repeating this sentence, which made everyone dejected.

"Stop talking!" Milo took a sip of wine. "We also feel very sad and ashamed. There is no need to ridicule us again and again."

Ogg said from the side: "But I think what he said does make sense."

"There is a bullshit truth!" Milo said angrily, "If reasoning is useful, why bother fighting! We fell into that person's skill, a skill that makes us believe in the truth!"

Manda knew that he had been hit by a skill. He saw the surge of divine power in Odysseus' body, but this was the first time he had seen such a weird skill.

The other party reasoned with him and told him a very reasonable reason, and then Manda let them go according to the reason.

Is there any more exaggerated skill in the world than this? Isn't this the legendary way of conquering the world with words?

Although he didn't know the specific principles of skills, Manda summarized several rules.

First of all, the person using the skill has to say a truth, and he must ensure that the other party can hear the truth, and he must also ensure that the other party accepts the truth. These should be the three key steps of this skill.

Secondly, the effect of this skill is very strange. Manda did not feel the oppression of divine power from beginning to end, nor did he suffer from mental confusion or deprivation of consciousness.

He was sober and sober throughout the whole process. He knew the current situation and the direction of the situation. He knew that there was no reason to talk between himself, Shelty and Odysseus, and he also knew that reasoning could not solve any problems. But at that time He had a kind of resistance and resistance from his heart. He didn't want to fight or use violence to solve the problem. Accepting Odysseus' truth just complied with his inner needs.

It sounds like it's just some kind of psychological suggestion, but the actual situation is very serious. Manda tried to break through her inner resistance, but she couldn't mobilize any power to resist.

This is like a virus that was prevalent in the world in a previous life. It does not destroy human organs like other viruses, but destroys the immune system.

Moreover, this skill lasted for a very long time. According to Manda's estimation, for nearly ten minutes, Manda had no desire to fight, but Odysseus did not take the opportunity to attack Manda.

Maybe his attack would arouse Manda's sense of resistance, but even so, he could at least get a chance to take the lead and let Odysseus take the lead, which would undoubtedly be a disaster for Manda.

I can't figure it out, Athena's skills are too complicated.

Stanley reminded: "Although the result is not perfect, we won."

Manda shook his head and said: "You are wrong to say that. We did win, and the result was perfect."

Even if he was disgusted by Odysseus in the end, this victory would not be as good as it was. He defeated Sheltai in such an unfavorable situation. This victory was enough to be recorded in the "Book of Odes" and become a legend.

Moreover, the benefits of this victory are very considerable. The oath on the Skettis River cannot be broken. From now on, the southwest is completely free from the threat of Sheltai.

Returning to the battlefield, Manda ordered in public that all participants in the battle would receive a second-class meritorious service, and those who died in battle would receive a first-class meritorious service, and the rewards would be cashed to their families.

Longerson received a special commendation. He could propose a wish to Manda within a reasonable range. Of course, the reasonable range was defined by Manda.

The three-headed dog is not Manda's subordinate, but his contribution in this battle must be heavily rewarded. The specific reward will be decided by Manda and Leonde through discussion.

Stanley was inspecting the corpses of the enemy soldiers. He dug out the divine blood stone from the corpses of Ares believers, gave it to Manda and said, "Look at the pattern on it."

There is a spear mark on the divine blood stone, which is the totem of Ares. In the middle part of the spear, there is a totem of a sickle covering it.

This is somewhat similar to the divine sword seal of God Punisher. Is the process of seizing power and sealing similar?

It is definitely not that simple. There are countless divine blood stones sealed by the God Punisher, but no god has lost his authority because of this. Manda asked Stanley to burn the corpses of Ares believers and collect the divine blood stones. Build a simple altar and offer sacrifices to Cronus.

Stanley looked puzzled: "Sacrifice to Cronus? Why do you do this?"

"Because these stones have the mark of Cronus, I don't want them to be tracked by Cronus, and there is Ares' blood in them, and I don't want to have anything to do with Ares."

There was another layer of worry that Manda did not express.

On the battlefield, Cronus showed mercy to him and Rungersen. The exact reason is unknown, but he should at least show his gratitude.

Manda did not want to be an enemy of Cronus, let alone a mortal. Apart from the Lord of Divine Punishment and the former Zeus, which god would dare to be an enemy of Cronus?

Maybe those mysterious primitive gods have this strength, but this is not a class that Manda can look up to.

Longsen was carefully wiping the bodies of the fallen. The body of the Minister of State had already been wiped, and next was Yosuf.

Manda squatted beside him, handed him a few pieces of clean cotton, and asked, "Do you want to continue being a drunkard, or do you want to return to the army and become a general?"

Before Longson could answer, Milo laughed and said, "I'd better be an alcoholic. Without you, I'd be quite lonely."

Worm nodded and said: "I brewed a few barrels of new cider, go back and have a good drink."

Longerson raised his head, looked at Worm and Milo, showed a smile and said: "I will ask you to go back for a drink, but I still want to go back to the military camp."

Worm and Milo rolled their eyes together. Longeson turned to look at Manda and said, "I owe you."

"On the contrary, I owe you, but it doesn't matter who owes whom," Manda smiled, "Want to do something with me?"

"Attacking due south? I don't think it's the right time now. The defeated Sheltay will defend with all its strength. Even if we can get a miserable victory, Bucken will still take advantage in the end."

Manda shook his head and said: "I have no interest in Zhengnan for the time being. I have a question I have always wanted to ask you. Do you hate the Bayers?"

Longgesen's territory is in Shuanghua City. He has seen what the Byers did since he was a child. Now Shuanghua City is occupied by the Byers. Most of his soldiers and people died at the hands of the Byers. The answer There's no question: "I hate them with a passion."

"I will take you to Bayer Country, are you willing?"

Longerson frowned and said, "What are you going to do there?"

"Revenge," Manda said, "They occupied your city, and I want to occupy their country."

Longsen didn't understand Manda's thoughts, but he still nodded and said, "I will obey your orders. When will we set off?"

"The sooner the better."

"Can you allow me to bury my comrade first?"

"It's not that urgent." Manda stood up, took off his sword, and placed it in the hands of the Minister of State. "I will inform His Majesty the King to bury Lord Lessio with the highest etiquette of Romulu."

…

Shelty suddenly woke up from his dream and sat on the bed, panting and wiping the sweat from his head.

After gasping for breath, he began to cough violently, which frightened the maid into hurriedly walking into the curtain and saying, "Your Majesty, do you want to take medicine?"

"No need, you all get out."

After driving away all the guards and maids, Shertai knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to Cronus.

Fortunately for him, Odysseus did not break his promise and rescued him from the southwest. He also taught Odysseus the method of controlling the size of the artifact.

After escaping all the way back to the royal capital, Shelty thought the matter was over, but the God King's punishment still came as expected.

For several days, he had constant nightmares, in which he suffered various tortures. Until tonight, he finally saw the God King. Cronus also gave him a chance to explain, but no matter how many explanations he gave, they were in vain. Mistakes made are ultimately irreversible.

"I gave you every advantage, but you still lost this must-win duel. How can I trust you in the future?"

"Please give me another chance, I swear I will not let you down again."

"Opportunity? Do you want to break your promise and become the mud at the bottom of the Skettis River?"

"I, I will have a way to lure Manda Cloudsey out from the southwest, and I will definitely have a way to make him surrender to me."

"We'll talk about him later. You must get my artifact back."

"I will do my best..."

"Don't talk such useless nonsense! Spread the news. The believers of Athena stole my artifact. The liar must be able to escape!"

Spread the word? Is this really wise?

Sheltai looked surprised, but he didn't expect this expression to anger Cronus.

"Are you questioning me?"

The God King roared, and Shertai woke up from his dream.

He did not dare to have any doubts about the decision of the God King. After some pious prayers, he decided to spread the news immediately.

…

Athena was in the temple, gently stroking Cronus's scythe, and whispered in her mouth: "An artifact born before order, made by Gaia herself, the most powerful artifact in the world, the only one feared by the Lord of Divine Punishment The artifact belongs to me now."

He looked down at the stone slabs on the ground, and the mortal Odysseus was still waiting for a response.

"Do you think you have made a great contribution?"

Odysseus quickly replied: "It was only because of your great wisdom that I completed this mission."

"Have you completed the mission?" Athena sneered, "Claudius and Shelty fought hard to the end, and I asked you to take advantage of it, but in the end you let them both go. Does this count as completing the mission?"

The task Athena gave Odysseus was to take advantage of the fierce battle between Manda and Sheltai to steal Cronus' artifact and kill Manda and Sheltai. Based on this, Odysseus did not complete the task. .

But this mission is not easy. Odysseus has to face Sheltei who holds the artifact, Manda, and Manda's elite soldiers, but these are not reasons in Athena's eyes.

Odysseus carefully explained: "Sheltai has always been under the protection of Cronus, and Claude Sai's strength is not inferior to mine..."

"Nonsense!" Athena frowned, "Kronos wants to deal with Heracles, Claude Sai is just a seventh-level believer!"

"But……"

"How many more excuses do I need to hear from you!"

Odysseus lowered his head and said nothing, and Athena said with a sullen face: "Kronus and his followers will not spread this matter, so you must eradicate Claude Sai and the Giant Bear Goddess as soon as possible. The soil of the original sequence and the authority of the Fang Tearer, these two things must be settled as soon as possible.”

The holy light on the altar disappeared, and Odysseus got up and left the altar, returned to the secret room, and sat in silence for a long time.

Judging from his expression, he was blaming himself and repenting, but in fact he was preparing for an important meeting. The reason why he made such an expression was because he knew that Athena had the habit of looking back.

He sat in silence like this for a long time, and then quietly took out twelve crystals from his pocket.

Each crystal was about the same size, with only slight differences in shape. Odysseus carefully placed the twelve crystals on a flat bluestone, with the totems of the gods in his mind.

Each crystal must be placed in an accurate position in order. This is order, this is a rule, and this is respect and piety for the God King.

After two thousand years, I have to give myself a chance.

After placing the twelve crystals, Odysseus began to pray silently until he heard a deep voice in his ear:

"Well done, you deserve a reward."
