I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 290 - 277 This is simply blasphemy against God!

Chapter 290: Chapter 277 This is simply blasphemy against God!

Several days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the news of Duke Rickman’s disastrous defeat, leading nearly half of the kingdom’s elite forces against the mine slave rebellion, was known to all in the capital.

Then another message emerged from within the church—it was related to the infamous Wizards that the mine slave’s uprising had occurred; it was these devils’ Believers who had beguiled the mine slaves into offering their souls to the Evil God, thus inviting such a horrific disaster!

Panic was spreading rapidly…

What caught everyone off guard even more was that King Basel did not seem to be in a hurry to organize forces to suppress this disaster that was about to sweep through the entire kingdom. The upper-class nobles also seemed to take no action, choosing to remain silent instead.

In such circumstances, the church became the spiritual support of the poor. The only thing they could do was to go to the church and pray to the Almighty Lord to protect them…

Priest Nord saw off the last group of the poor who came for atonement and prayer and turned his head in a daze to look at the holy and majestic statue of the goddess in the cathedral, but the moment he closed his eyes, his mind was still filled with the terrifying sight of fire raining from the sky and the roaring of cannons.

...

Priest Nord was plunged into deep confusion. He wondered why the forces of evil were so strong and why the Almighty Lord had not given him any response while they were fighting against these evils.

“This is the punishment bestowed by the Lord!”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.

Priest Nord opened his eyes and noticed the figure in a golden red robe had appeared beside him at some point. It was the kingdom’s pillar, the Cardinal of the Church, Anluoke…

“Cardinal Anluoke!” Priest Nord greeted him very respectfully, and then asked with great befuddlement, “Did you just say that this disaster is the will of God?”

“No, it should be said that it’s the folly of the nobles and the royal family of this kingdom that has invited this disaster!” Anluoke slowly stated. “They are no longer content with ruling this land under the glory of God. They even collude with the Believers of those Evil Gods, foolishly trying to shake the pastures of God in the mortal world…”

As he spoke, Anluoke’s gaze became very sharp. He naturally had witnessed all the overt and covert actions against the church from His Majesty of the kingdom in recent years and had a crystal-clear understanding of Basel’s little schemes.

This kingdom, be it those dull-witted poor, cunning nobles, or the foolish royal family, all needed a thorough purification!

After the calamity, the glory of the Lord would once again envelop the whole earth!

“But, Cardinal Anluoke… why then would the Almighty Lord bring punishment upon his most devout Believers?” Priest Nord said in confusion.

In this disastrous defeat, not only was the army of tens of thousands utterly annihilated, but also, out of an entire congregation of over sixty Believers, the majority had perished on the battlefield. Only a handful had managed to escape with him.

Priest Nord was utterly bewildered and in pain, having spent the last few days in the temple repenting for his shameful act of fleeing alone out of fear and abandoning his comrades.

“This is a baptism, Bishop Nord!” Anluoke’s voice came over. “The souls of the devout will be taken early into the Divine Kingdom to enjoy endless joy and feasting, while the sinners will be punished in hell, burning forever in the undying Purgatory Fire…”

Priest Nord finally understood that life and death were not important; they were merely two different states—God himself decides the birth and death of all things!

Just then, a Priest walked in from outside.

“Cardinal Anluoke, Viscount William has sent a messenger with a message, saying that there is a very important matter that requires your attention, related to those Wizards!”

“Then let him come in!” Anluoke spoke, and Nord also reined in his emotions, standing to the side.

About two minutes later, Kodi, led by several priests, entered the majestic church. The solemn and reverent setting made his already nervous heart congeal to the utmost. Upon seeing Anluoke and the others, he slightly lowered his head, practicing a constrained bow.

“Where is William? Where is he? Why didn’t he come to see me himself?” Anluoke suddenly inquired.

“Viscount has recently contracted the plague and is now bedridden, unable to come and listen to the Lord’s teachings…” Kodi said, his voice trembling slightly.

“In that case, what message did he send with you?” Anluoke spoke slowly and deliberately.

“Reporting to Your Honor, our spies have discovered a group of people with suspicious behavior entering the residence of Prince Hattar. We suspect they are all wizards.” Kodi replied in a low voice.

“Is that all?” Anluoke continued to ask.

After hesitating for a long time, Kodi finally clenched his teeth and said, “We have also… also uncovered that Prince Hattar seems to be plotting to seize the throne, and many nobles of the kingdom are involved. I fear it won’t be long before they take action!”

“And how did you come to know this secret?” Anluoke’s face showed a trace of movement, and his tone grew heavier once more.

Weathering Anluoke’s gaze, Kodi spoke with difficulty. “A baron involved in the conspiracy, who is a good friend of Lord William, does not wish to betray the kingdom, and thus he revealed the news to Lord William.”

“I need the truth…” Anluoke suddenly turned cold.

“Before the Lord, he who lies shall surely fall into hell!”

As soon as these words were spoken, a dazzling white light surged from the holy and solemn statue of the goddess, engulfing everyone present.

Believers like Nord and the priests were not affected, but Kodi was like someone possessed, falling to the ground, tears streaming down, and began confessing.

“It was William! Lord William has been secretly aiding those wizards in transporting ore and goods. All the glass and paper that have appeared in the market these last few months have been the work of those devil’s believers…”

With this revelation, Nord and the others were both shocked and angered. They too had bought plenty of these novel glass products, some of which were even used to adorn the entire church. Now Kodi was telling them that all this was the creation of wizards?

It was a blasphemous affront to God!

What sent chills down their spines was that William, the wizard’s lackey, had been hiding right under their noses, brazenly becoming one of the kingdom’s nobles.

Nord could hardly comprehend; this was no mere dereliction of duty!

Anluoke, however, seemed unsurprised, merely nodding his head. “Continue, tell me everything you know!”

Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Kodi wept for his sins, revealing everything about how, for over a decade, William had colluded with wizards, growing his power through seafaring trade…
