Alien Knights

After a short period of shock, people gradually returning to normal began to talk about Todd's words.

"Asgard?"

"I always thought it was just a legend..."

"What do you mean by reconstruction?"

Listening to the whispered discussions of the people in the hall, Todd stood upright, with his thick tail behind him, and his two iron claws raised high. The image of Ragnarok was projected in the center of the hall, which attracted another exclamation from the crowd.

Watching the gods and enemies die together, the universe re-enters solitude, and everyone in the Golden Palace fell into a long silence.

"The age of the gods has passed." Todd flicked his tail, slowly walked down from the throne, looked at the people kneeling at his feet, and said loudly: "We are in a chaotic and disorderly world, and the gods you worship never answer your call! When you are starving, they are silent; when you are plagued by illness, they are silent; when you are suffering from injustice, they are still silent!"

Hundreds of people in the Golden Palace quietly listened to the words of the pitch-black monster in front of them. Everyone had doubts, anxiety, pain and... confusion on their faces.

Todd waved a pair of iron claws, one picture after another, one sound after another, appeared in the center of the hall. The unarmed civilians were massacred, the refugees who had no food to eat were exchanged for food, the patients infected with the disease waited quietly in bed, and the dead bodies in the wilderness were eaten by wild dogs.

Todd looked into the eyes of a captured Ulster nobleman and asked loudly: "You always say that God is omnipotent and God loves believers deeply. Then I have a question, is the so-called God loves you so much?!"

"If God is omnipotent, then where are wars, famines, plagues, and death like tarsal maggots, wantonly eroding the entire world? Maybe some of you will say this is revelation, this is a trial. Then another question comes, if God is really loving, then why didn't this trial come to the heads of those heretics and hypocrites, but to persecute you devout believers?!"

"Wake up!" Todd waved his hand vigorously, and the picture in the hall turned into countless dead souls wailing in hell: "The gods you speak of are either liars who can only talk big and hide in the sky; or they are hypocrites who care only about themselves and believers."

"However, I am different from them! My ancestors, the former rulers of Asgard, were superstitious about power and indulged in pleasure, and finally ended up with annihilation of form and spirit." Surrounded by flames and frost, Todd turned around and returned to the throne. He looked at everyone and said, "Although I have inherited the power of my ancestors, I don't intend to repeat their mistakes!"

A shaman who seemed to be quite old knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "The great son of the gods, how do you plan to rebuild Asgard?"

Todd folded his hands, turned off all the images in the hall, and said: "First of all, I want to correct the bias of the gods. In the past era, the gods selected heroic spirits and bestowed godhead criteria, most of which only valued bravery. Those who die bravely in battle can enter Valhalla, but they never ask why they died in battle and how their life is like?"

"As for people who are born, old, sick, and dead, no matter what good deeds they have done or what achievements they have accomplished in their lives, they will all be sent to Heim's Underworld after death, where they will suffer from the cold winter of eternal night."

Todd pointed his finger at the hundreds of people in the Golden Palace, and asked, "Don't you think this choice is very strange? One person was blasphemous, murderous, and sinister in life. Before dying, he only needs to use a glorious and heroic death to get a ticket to enter the sanctuary. The other person, who diligently completes his work, helps the weak, and fights evil, ends up being sent to the underworld to suffer from the frost just because he died on the bed?!"

Todd's words caused everyone present to argue quietly. Some people said that the teachings of the gods advocated force and conquest, which brought war and death to the world. They should indeed be modified; others said that these are traditional principles, how to modify them?

Todd ignored the other people's remarks, and reached out to attract a mirror, a basket of stones and a huge scale.

Looking at the things in front of them, everyone present was dumbfounded, and someone asked strangely: "What are these?"

Todd first pointed his hand to the mirror: "This mirror is the well of fate, it can show the behavior and encounters of a person's life."

Then came a basket of stones: "These are the stones of good and evil. They will judge the actions of a person's life as good or evil, and adjust the weight of the stones according to the size of good and evil."

Finally, there is the huge scale: "This thing is the platform of judgment, and it will adjust the direction of the scale according to the good and evil of people."

"Let me say this, maybe it's still hard for everyone to understand how they work, so it's better to find someone to actually use them." After Todd said this, he looked around the crowd and saw a young man cowering at the back.

"You are the one."

Todd's iron claws stretched forward, and the young man was dragged to the mirror by a huge force from the air.

"No! I don't want to see this!"

The young man struggled desperately in front of the mirror, trying to stay away from this dark unknown.

Using the method of soul intrusion, Todd recalled all the memory of the other party from birth to the present, and turned scenes into the mirror.

The originally pitch-black mirror changed, like a projection in a well. The life of this young man named Sandra appeared in front of everyone in its entirety.

When Sandra was a child, in the forest near her hometown, she rescued a deer that fell into a trap. After the event was played, a thumb-sized rock slowly flew up from the basket and finally fell into the side of the scale representing kindness.

When he was a teenager, Sandra and several partners punished a businessman who came to the village to cheat and helped the villagers get back the money they were cheated of. A palm-sized stone fell into the balance of kindness again.

As life progresses gradually, stones of different sizes, representing good and evil, slowly fly into the two ends of the balance. But in general, the weight of goodness is still far greater than the weight of evil.

When Sandra's village was captured by the Ulsters and he was captured as a slave and sent to Gugu City, things gradually began to change.

When Todd's army broke through the ancient city, Sandra, who had regained her freedom, rushed into the master's mansion and stabbed the sharp blade into the evil and murderous Ulster man. After a long time, a stone the size of a copper star finally fell into the good side of the balance.

But what happened after that took a turn for the worse. Sandra, who had tasted the thrill of killing for the first time, rushed into the manor with a torch and a long sword, and killed everyone she saw. When he killed the guards and thugs, the stones fell on the good side; but when he went to the maid, the cook, the gardener, and even the baby in the swaddle, the stones continued to fall on the evil side.

At this time, the balance has gradually balanced and is developing towards the worst situation.

When Sandra boarded the cargo ship bound for the Froststone camp, he and a few companions sneaked into the bottom warehouse of the Ulster captives at night, raped and brutally killed an Ulster woman in front of the victim's family, disfigured her with a torch, and threw the body into the sea.

A stone the size of an apple flew into the evil side of the scale.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Todd sighed.

After the ship docked, Sandra, who had been completely immersed in the joy of brutality, had no intention of stopping at all.

He spearheaded several horrific acts of violence against Ulster captives. He even prepared a box specially designed to store a certain part of the victim as a trophy that can be played. Sometimes teeth, noses, ears, sometimes even skin cut from living people...

One after another, heavy stones flew into the evil disc of the scale. In the end, the balance, which could no longer bear the heavy load, completely tipped over to the evil side, and never regained its balance.

Todd stepped down from the throne, looked at the ashen-faced young man paralyzed on the ground, frowned and said nothing.

"I'm not wrong! It's the world that's wrong!"

Sandra beat the ground of the Golden Palace with both hands, and twisted her body crazily: "My mother and sister were killed by those Ulster bastards like livestock! Their human skin was peeled off and made into a fine canvas! I can still hear their wailing before death in my dreams! Why?! Why can't I return my pain to them?! It's not fair!"

Todd changed from a tyrant form to a human form again. He squatted down, looked at the violent young man in front of him, and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with revenge, and there is nothing wrong with eradicating evil. What is wrong is that after you kill the demon, a demon resides in your soul, and it turns you into another demon through and through..."

Standing up straight, Todd looked at the crowd around him: "This is the new order I am talking about. I hope to incorporate the good and evil of human beings into the teachings of Asgard in the way of judgment by fate. In addition, there are a series of new teachings that I will let the shamans pass on to everyone here..."

Just when Todd was about to introduce the teachings contained in the new religious belief, someone suddenly asked: "Great son of the gods, how will this sinner be dealt with?"

Todd stopped talking, looked at Sandra, and shook his head helplessly.

After a snap of the fingers, a huge black hole appeared directly above the hall, and a group of horrific ghosts came out of the black hole, dragging the screaming Sandra into the boundless darkness.

Just when everyone was still in shock, Todd resealed the black hole and said, "His soul has been sent to the bitter cold place of the underworld, where he will always repent for what he has done."

At first it was just one person, then a crowd, and finally all fell to their knees, praising the justice of the Son of the Gods.

Todd looked at the crowd in front of him, and continued: "Since believers have recognized the judgment of the soul, I will explain it in detail next, why are the other teachings...the first one is..."

After the soul space meeting ended, Sandra's body was lying on the square, which was particularly dazzling.

Under the words and deeds of the participants that night, the new teachings of the Sons of Gods quickly spread throughout the camp.

People's beliefs were gradually unified under Todd's control.

After this, there are a few more interesting things.

1. The leader of the tribe named Aimo, after participating in the soul gathering, took the initiative to return the confiscated spoils to the warriors in the tribe, and promised not to touch the personal belongings of those who made war.

2. The trend of doing good deeds gradually prevailed in the camp. The idea of ​​solidarity and assistance gradually broke down the barriers between races and factions.

3. One month after the rally, people spontaneously organized and combined their efforts to build a temple on the square of the camp, which enshrined Todd's tyrant form.
