Chapter 1126: Aftermath (Part 2)

Fortunately, this situation did not happen.

Last night, the storm seemed to show signs of weakening, just as Mr. Shire… no, Chairman Shire had judged—

The divine war was about to end.

Because those high-level beings are far more “rational” than humans imagine. When they discover that their actions do not yield benefits and do not achieve the desired results, they absolutely will not continue pointless standoffs, unless the standoff itself is what they want.

However, Klein still couldn’t help but feel anxious and worried. What if Chairman Shire’s judgment was wrong? What if the situation might reverse? … After all, until he sees everything calm down with his own eyes, sees the rain clear, the clouds break open, and the sun rise again, he cannot truly put his mind at ease. — Until this moment today.

Durant Town seemed like a remote town that had just experienced an ordinary heavy rain, with nothing but muddy streets left.

Before long, people began to open their tightly shut doors and windows, cautiously poking their heads out to confirm the weather conditions outside.

As expected, the residents’ faces lit up with joy, showing synchronized expressions of relief mixed with post-survival exhilaration. Some even kneeled directly in the mud, crying tears of joy, with their cries filled with irrepressible happiness, continuously praising the Divine Spirit they believed in… And this slightly fanatical atmosphere also influenced and spread to others.

The result was that the cries of praise and prayer gradually formed waves, each one higher than the last, with soprano and tenor voices mixed together in strength.

The atmosphere on site rapidly reached a frenzy, almost to an uncontrollable degree within a matter of seconds.

“…”

“…”

Klein silently watched this scene from upstairs, noticing that a large crowd quickly gathered on the muddy street, with black heads moving and the expressions on their faces beginning to show some emotion.

He sighed lightly, then reached out to close the window.

Of course, he could understand the excitement of these people. Fear is the essence of the Gods, as well as the essence of faith. From a religious perspective, it is often only those who have seen hell who truly embrace heaven, and their faith becomes more steadfast and pious.

Klein reflected on his previous feelings and had an extremely profound understanding of this point, after all, even he felt deeply impacted, so what kind of shock would ordinary people experience? However… after this ordeal, perhaps many people’s faith indeed became more steadfast, but there were definitely many whose faith was shaken.

Because a greater fear had appeared…

Something obviously far more terrifying than their believed Divine Spirit, far superior and overwhelming…

This is the inevitable result of the divine war, each divine war is bound to be a huge impact. For the Divine Spirits, some anchors will become more solid, while others will be shaken and lose their proper function.

In fact, it is not just wars that lead to such results. Similar things happen from time to time, because as long as you look at Divine Spirits and their Church forces as public companies, and view the public and believers as the market, you can understand very well… Grabbing market share and users is the law of survival. Even the Third Secret Ceremony Society that Klein joined is doing the same thing of stealing the walls.

On the surface, Durant, this small town, believes in the Lord of Storms, and there is only one Storm Church at the town center. However, in reality, the clergy in the Church have all unknowingly been developed into traitors.

This also led to the Third Secret Ceremony Society’s wild growth here, with enough cover. Even in the recent aftershocks, the Lord of Storms was still sheltering this land of faith without noticing anything wrong.

It can only be said that this secret organization, which rose during the Roselle era, along with the exclusive path they control, is simply too terrifying…

The most important thing is their incredibly strong ability to disguise. Once they go undercover, it’s almost impossible to discover anything.

Klein shook his head. However, he himself has now boarded the pirate ship, so he has no position to say anything about it.

At this time, the uproar outside seemed to be subdued. Judging by the sound, it was likely that the Church and police had arrived. The combination of secular and religious authorities represents all the authority in Durant Town. It’s naturally best for them to calm the masses.

Klein listened to the sounds outside, sighed deeply, and couldn’t help letting his imagination run wild.

He wondered how Tingen was doing now. Was it in a similar state, with residents exuberant after the disaster and sheriffs and the Extraordinary working hard to calm the populace… Speaking of which, Benson and Melissa should be fine, and what about the captain and the others? At least they should have gotten through the current crisis, or are they still recuperating at Tingen Hospital?

Although Klein specifically went to see them before being taken away from Tingen by Chairman Shire.

Yet after leaving, he couldn’t help feeling some concern, unable to completely let go.

But this is an inevitable reality. He could not continue staying, just as he chose to join the Secret Ceremony Society, a large part of the reason was that the identity of “Klein Moretti” was essentially as good as erased.
