Chapter 96 - 96:1 Am a Prophet
“Woodson! On the way here, I saw that the Titan Battleship assembly plants are all in full production. I even saw weapons that can destroy the stars! What exactly do you want?”
In one of the temples on the Heavenly Throne, Zachlan was arguing with the person opposite him. He looked very anxious, but the other person had a calm expression.
“Don’t worry, our dear Prophet. It’s not easy for you to come back here. Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea?”
“Don’t change the topic! Have you ever thought about how many casualties there will be this time? How much damage will it cause to the Milky Way?”
Zachlan was still furious, but the high priest opposite him said indifferently, “This is a battle for the Holy Land. Every believer is filled with fervent faith. If we don’t use war, we definitely won’t be able to appease their anger at the destruction of the Holy Land.”
“Ha!” Zachlan sneered. “You’ve already planned this, right? I’ve advised you countless times to move that atomic clock away, but you’ve been using all sorts of excuses to brush me off!”
“How is that possible? Our dear Prophet, you know my faith in the Holy Land. Of course, I won’t sit idly by and do nothing about this defilement of the Holy Land. But who would have thought that it would be a bomb that would destroy the planet?”
The high priest’s tone was filled with exaggerated sadness, but how could his expression be like this?
“You!!!” Zachlan was obviously angry at his indifferent attitude. He threw the cane he had been holding to the side. Even his blood vessels were bulging. He felt like he was about to roll up his sleeves and hit someone.
When he was young, he completed his ascetic homework quite well. Even though he was a little old now, his muscular form could beat up four or five people easily.
However, the high priest interrupted him and said indifferently, “You’re a prophet, don’t tell me you don’t know the meaning of the word Holy Land in the hearts of believers? Do you want me to let the believers forget about this matter? Then you don’t have to do anything. The angry believers will tear me apart.”
“Therefore, it is necessary to declare war on those stupid and arrogant evil cyborgs. Only then can we ease the pain caused by the destruction of the Holy Land!”
His words stunned Zachlan, and he said in disbelief, “But you knew exactly what that atomic clock was, you had the power to stop it…”
“I don’t know,” The high priest once again answered Zachlan’s question with a firm tone. However, it was not clear if there was something wrong with his facial nerves. Even in this state, he still looked relaxed. It was difficult to doubt whether what he said was true or false.
Zachlan opened his mouth. At this moment, he felt that his former friend had become so unfamiliar that even he could no longer understand his thoughts.
The psionic network that connected everyone could not sense his true appearance. The person before him seemed to be covered by a veil of the void realm, making it difficult to guess.
“I’m going to expose this matter to the believers.” Realizing that it was impossible to convince the high priest, Zachlan decided to use his influence as a Prophet to try to persuade his believers.
“Is that so? Do you want to do this?” The high priest suddenly laughed; his eyes filled with an inexplicable color.
“It’s a fact that the Holy Land was destroyed. I don’t need to tell you about the fanaticism of the believers. You won’t be able to stop them.”
“At the very least, I want to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.” Zachlan did not waver. At the same time, he looked at the high priest again.
“Also, I’ll announce the contract you signed with those things in the void realm. II
This time, the high priest’s smile calmed down. He looked at Zachlan expressionlessly. “Getting close to the void realm is the driving force for all of us to advance. Even if this is very dangerous, if I don’t do it, there will be other priests and Saint Attendants to do it.”
“We firmly believe that the Enlightened Ones went to another place from the void realm. In order to catch up with them, this danger is necessary.”
“And now, the believers finally have hope and have experienced the possibilities brought by this power. Do you think they will give up so easily?”
“Zachlan.” For the first time, the high priest did not address him as a prophet but called him by his name.
“You were born with weak psionic ability potential. Even the End of Reincarnation couldn’t improve you. Your psionic power is not even as good as a child’s. How can you, who has never enjoyed such beauty, decide whether this is right or wrong?”
“I believe that your faith isn’t firm. Perhaps you’re not suitable to bear the responsibility of a Prophet. After you leave, I will ask the oracle to name a new prophet. He will be the chosen one and will be the guide for our believers.”
The high priest calmly announced what he would do in the future, but Zachlan did not have any reaction. He just shook his head as he left.
“I’m Zachlan, a nobody who was unwillingly carried forward by the tide of history.”
“I am Zachlan, a self-proclaimed prophet. I saw the destruction of the Milky Way and the people who shed blood.”
“I will travel to every place and announce my prophecy. Those who believe in me will follow me and lead to my miracle…”
He seemed to be chanting a hymn, but the name was changed to him. After he left, all the believers who were psionic connected received a telepathic message.
[Prophet Zachlan was bewitched by an evil god while searching for the chosen ones. He has lost his devotion to God. This is an announcement.]
[A new prophet will be born in the second high sacrifice, bringing the good news of God.]
This sudden and inexplicable situation caused the believers to fall into chaos.
They didn’t understand how the Prophet, who was originally everyone’s spiritual idol, had become the spokesperson of the evil god overnight. This made them feel like their faith had collapsed.
But soon, they saw the former Prophet Zachlan strolling out of the temple.
Some people went up to ask about this matter, but Zachlan said calmly, “I saw the prophecy. Do you want to follow me?”
When the person who asked the question heard this, he was subconsciously stunned. He immediately wanted to ask, “What is a prophecy?”
But before he could speak, Zachlan nodded and said, “In that case, I understand. May the Enlightened Ones protect you.”
After that, Zachlan said to the second person, “I saw the prophecy. Do you want to follow me?”
Just like that, he asked them one by one, but before they could react, he replied, “May the Enlightened Ones One protect you.”
This kind of strange behavior made many former believers flinch. They could not help but discuss with others through telepathy, “Could the Prophet have really been bewitched by the Evil God?”
“I think it’s possible. Otherwise, why would he be in such a crazy state? Let’s not believe it.”
More and more people stepped aside, but Zachlan didn’t show any reaction until a young voice said, “I will follow you!”
Zachlan nodded and smiled. He then brought the child behind him and said calmly, “I saw the prophecy. I saw the destruction. I saw the ring. It will destroy everything we have….”
