Mifia's face showed an expression of great joy. She found it very interesting to see these so-called human "strong men" kneeling before her.
Soon she will spread the faith of the Calamity to all parts of the kingdom, whose population number in the millions, and the power of faith provided will restore some of her divine power.
But if you want to restore your original power, you need the faith of at least hundreds of millions of people.
Miphia was well aware that if she expanded her faith in a big way, it would definitely be noticed by other gods.
Most of the time, the gods in heaven will not care about the affairs of the mortal world unless their faith is severely damaged.
The Kingdom of Lombardy was a polytheistic country, and even its state religion, which had the largest number of believers, only had a few hundred thousand people.
The rest was distributed among the various gods, and the amount was actually very small.
Therefore, Miphia was sure that this level of loss of faith would not attract the attention of the gods at all.
Now she can expand the kingdom to her heart's content and then think about her next move.
The war ten thousand years ago exhausted all of Miphia's influence in this world. When she came back to this world and tried to understand it, she found that modern humans basically had no memory of disasters.
In this case, let's remind them of the fear of disaster.
As one of the evil gods, the God of Disaster, Miphia is most keen on spreading disasters. She knows that her final fate will be to be attacked by the gods and then expelled from this world again.
But what she needs to do is to enjoy the process. After all, spreading disaster is the meaning of her existence, and it is the fate that has been determined at the beginning of creation.
Miphia had long forgotten how old she was, and the servants who served her had changed countless times.
Apart from the apostle who summoned her back to this world, Miphia no longer has anyone familiar to her in today's world.
But this seemed very normal to her because she had experienced this situation more than once.
Descend into the world - spread disaster - be expelled by the gods - descend into the world again.
This is the reincarnation of the God of Disaster, and in a sense, it is also her destiny.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 037 Human Emotions (Additional Update)
Miphia inherited the memories of the body's original owner and used these memories to control the city.
However, the original owner of this body still has one relative left in this world - her mother.
Miphia originally wanted the woman and her son to die in an "accident", but she eventually stopped.
Because the woman didn't know that her daughter was no longer the same daughter she used to be, she still expressed her motherly love to her daughter.
This seemed very interesting to Miphia. As the God of Disaster, she had no mother, or, to put it mildly, the God of Creation was her mother.
This kind of mother's love for her daughter was very new to her.
Of course, Miphia is not really interested in the emotions of mortals. She just wants to play around, and when she gets tired of it, she will tell the woman the truth and enjoy her painful and desperate reaction.
Your daughter actually died a long time ago, hahahaha…
With the inherited memories, Mifia can behave the same as before, so in the woman's feelings, she is still the kind girl.
The reason why I say it is a feeling is because the woman is a blind person.
Although Miphia could easily heal the woman's eyes with her own power, she had no reason to do so.
"Mother."
Miphia came to her mother's room to greet her, then ordered the maids who took care of her to leave.
After the maids left, the woman in front of him began to cry.
"Don't be sad, I'm here."
Although she was comforting the woman, Mifia's lips curled up and her face was full of joy.
The deaths of husband and son one after another are simply unbearable for the fragile human psychology.
However, Miphia was only responsible for the death of her son, as her husband was killed by someone else.
Of course, the blind woman could not see Miphia's expression. She hugged her only remaining daughter tightly and cried.
Her sadness brought Miphia a lot of joy.
"Mifia, I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"After your father and brother died, the burden of the family fell entirely on you."
The woman's tone was full of self-blame. She was blind and could not help Miphia at all.
How can a child this young handle so much?
She felt sad about the difficult circumstances her daughter would face, but there was nothing she could do.
After listening to her, Mifia couldn't help but want to laugh. Although it seemed very sad to others, it was really very interesting to her.
Is this the care a human mother gives to her children?
Although it was only her first contact, after the initial novelty wore off, Mifia felt that it was nothing.
Can this concern change anything?
Could it bring the woman’s husband and son back to life, or heal her eyes?
Mifia could not understand such meaningless emotions at all. Only fragile humans needed them.
She felt a little bored. This woman kept saying the same things over and over again.
So she found an excuse and left the woman's room.
Next time you feel this bored, just kill her.
Back in the Lord's Hall, Mifia sat in her seat. She had now sent her servants to spread the faith of disaster everywhere and to deal with some people who would cause trouble.
Suddenly she frowned and covered her head with her hands.
damn it……
Her catastrophic power is draining away.
After returning to this world, Mifia misjudged her own strength.
Her current power of disaster comes from the sacrifices offered by the apostle before. Those are extremely precious materials, which is why they provide her with a lot of power of disaster.
But the calamity power provided by those sacrifices is a non-renewable consumable. As a deity, Miphia's real power should come from people's faith.
She can indeed possess great strength with the power of disaster, but because of the killing and the creation of slaves in the past few days, the power of disaster consumed was too much, which far exceeded the recovery speed brought by the current believers.
Feeling her strength declining, Mifia was very angry.
It seems that we need to speed up the spread of the faith in disaster, otherwise as the power is lost, those slaves may become uncontrollable.
A sudden feeling of sadness arose in Mifia's heart, which seemed to come from her dead family.
She snorted disdainfully. If it weren't for her current lack of strength, she wouldn't be affected by the memories of the original owner of this body.
Although most of the memories from the past countless years have been forgotten, the memories of just over a decade now will not change her personality.
"Mifia..."
She was muttering the name of the original owner, which was also the name she was using now.
The God of Disaster has had no name since her birth, so she has used countless other people's names in the past. Names are not important in the first place.
The girl named Miphia was very kind. After reading her memories, she found that the girl had done many good things.
She is so kind, but it’s a pity that kind girls are not treated kindly by others.
Miphia suddenly had an idea. It was a rare opportunity for her to come to this world again, and she didn't want to fight with the gods in heaven right away and be expelled again.
Why not change the plan and slow down the expansion?
Then, during this ample time, she can still exist in this world for a while longer.
The disaster world where she originally lived was quite boring, and it was not as interesting as this normal world.
If Mifia could spread the disaster to the entire Kingdom of Lombard before stopping, she was 100% sure that it would not be noticed by the gods in heaven.
The power of faith provided by the humans of this kingdom is enough to make her invincible in this world.
People in this era do not know what disasters are and simply regard the Church of Hope as a cult.
Therefore, as long as Miphia doesn't go too far, she can do whatever she wants.
I'm afraid the gods in heaven couldn't imagine that I would come back so soon. I really have to praise that loyal apostle.
It’s a pity that he is already dead, otherwise Mifia would have "rewarded" him well.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the hall. Mifia stood up from her seat and prepared to take a look at the city.
Today, the vast majority of people in this city believe in the God of Hope, and the power of disaster has invaded the body of each of them.
But as long as Mifia doesn't deliberately activate these catastrophic forces, these people usually look completely normal.
Of course, if anyone slanders the God of Hope, he will be brutally killed by believers.
There was a freshly dead body lying on the side of the street, and someone had stuck a sign on the body that read "Disrespect for the Great God of Hope."
However, passers-by, even children playing around, turned a blind eye to the corpse.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 038 Gunpowder Revolution (Added)
The Silver Eagle Empire is a monotheistic religion with the Church of Light as its state religion. They believe in the God of Light who symbolizes justice and hope in the world.
Any other religion is illegal in the Silver Eagle Empire.
Now, the news that the Hope Cult is spreading wildly in the Kingdom of Lombard has reached the Empire.
No clergyman or scholar had ever heard of the God of Hope. The God of Hope, who was named after hope, was obviously in conflict with the God of Light.
Because the God of Light is the one who brings hope to the world.
The expansion of paganism could easily arouse the church's vigilance. Even though this incident happened in the Kingdom of Lombardy, which was separated by an eastern mountain range, the Empire's Church of Light also requested the Pope's authorization to investigate the matter.
The road through the eastern mountains was opened a few years ago, and there is no longer any obstacle between the Silver Eagle Empire and the Lombard Kingdom.
Emperor Petr Silver Eagle died of illness three years ago, and was succeeded by the eldest prince Sapota Silver Eagle.
The eldest prince is only about thirty years old this year. He is full of vigor and vitality. He is also a wise king. After he ascended the throne, he worked hard to restore the development of the empire that had been damaged by the war in previous years.
But unlike Pater, Saporta no longer wanted to stay in a corner, but wanted to continue expanding the empire.
The Five-Nation Alliance in the north had long since surrendered to the empire's cavalry, the situation in the southern wilderness had also completely stabilized, the western region was poor and backward and was not of interest, and if they wanted to expand, crossing the eastern mountains was the best way.
Because on the other side of the mountain is a more fertile land than the empire, but the strength of those small countries is very weak.
The construction of the Eastern Mountains took a long time. Previously, the Empire recruited all the magicians it could find and asked them to use destructive magic to bombard the weak points of the mountains in an attempt to blast out a path directly.
However, the wizard's magic power is limited, and this speed is too slow.
What really changed all this was thanks to an inventor in the empire.
He previously worked at the Imperial College of Engineering when a sudden flash of inspiration led him to create the revolutionary invention – gunpowder.
A black solid powder made from materials such as sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter that burns quickly when ignited by fire.
The Imperial School of Engineering then began to use gunpowder to produce explosives that could explode.
However, the power of the explosives was not as high as expected, and was even inferior to the destructive magic released by the wizard.
But the addition of the Imperial Magic Academy completely changed everything.
These two colleges, one studies mechanics and science, and the other studies magic and mystery, should be incompatible.
But no one expected that when the knowledge of the two academies was combined, the effect of one plus one being greater than two would be achieved.
Today's gunpowder has been improved by adding ground magic crystal dust and various materials containing magic power.
Eventually, the explosives made from this improved gunpowder became a real weapon for opening mountains.
Therefore, the natural barrier of the Eastern Mountains was completely opened up.
Calls for expansion began to emerge within the empire. Now that the Kingdom of Lombard was invaded by sudden heretics, it was the right time to declare war under the pretext of religion.
After all, any religion that is not certified by any country is an illegal religion. Therefore, the Silver Eagle Empire's declaration of war on the Kingdom of Lombard in the name of orthodox religion is also legitimate to a certain extent.
Through this excuse for war, the empire could not only expand its power, but also take the opportunity to change the polytheistic beliefs of the Kingdom of Lombard, making them believe in the Church of Light, in which the God of Light is the first.
This prospect is so tempting that high-level officials within the empire have already begun secret discussions about it.
