"Your Majesty, this is the list of powerful people who have suddenly appeared recently." In the emperor's palace, the spies presented a list.

In recent times, countless powerful people have suddenly appeared all over the world.

They either act chivalrously and draw swords to help, or they commit brutality and massacres, or they gather in crowds to gather in the mountains and forests, or they meet with the local governor and win an official position based on their strength. In short, they all have their own choices.

But no matter what, they are all... very individual.

Perhaps there are some who have chosen to retreat into the mountains and forests, or hide themselves temporarily and wait and see, but thousands of people have already jumped out and showed their presence.

Ile the Liberator, Berkner the Comet Master, Morswith the Great, Beliu the Hound, Forro the Lamenting King, Talion the Star Wise Dan.

One name after another, one name after another, all on the list, they are all so-called "legendary heroes of ancient times".

They carry a heavy weight of glory, are praised in many songs, and have created great achievements one after another.

They were born in an era when heroes were still needed, so they became heroes.

"Oh, the dead souls in the story that have passed away are now causing trouble for me?" The emperor held the list and sneered, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

In this era, there is no need for heroes, and the empire does not need heroes.

unnecessary!

Perhaps sensing the emperor's anger, the spies left in a hurry, leaving the emperor alone in the palace.

After everyone left, the emperor quietly started the teleportation.

He came to the place where the Immortal lives.

The place is still as peaceful as before, planted with exotic flowers and plants, various fruits, ivy, roses and roses, as well as the hut where the immortal lives.

It is almost the same as when the emperor came here.

A rusty white sword was stuck crookedly in the soil, looking like it hadn't been used for a long time.

The Immortal is staying in that small wooden house, still looking quiet and peaceful.

This is an ordinary room, simply furnished with two chairs and a desk. There are several bookshelves against the wall filled with books, most of which are old. There is also a desk and a bed.

This is a simple room that looks like a prison.

She sat alone on the seat in the middle, silently looking at the emperor in front of her. It could be seen from her eyes that she was looking further away, as if waiting for something.

Her eyes were slightly metallic, and after a while, she focused on the emperor who was walking over.

She sighed and seemed to be in a bad mood.

The emperor didn't seem to notice this scene, and just stepped over: "Your Excellency the Immortal, I'm afraid you need to make a move. Other levels 9 of the empire have important tasks, but hunting these heroes who have died long ago is urgent. The empire

This group of people cannot be allowed to exist." He walked up to the immortal and said.

"Why?" the immortal asked.

"The empire does not need heroes." The emperor's tone was decisive.

"They can be used by you. They are all people who have created many great achievements and can consolidate control of all regions for the empire."

"These people are far more powerful than ordinary level 8 people. Even I have heard of his achievements. He wiped out the nests of destroying insects, killed the tide of evil spirits and corpses, and cleared away the alien beasts and mothers in the ancient temples. Not to mention

, they generally believe in the state religion, it is more in line with the interests of the empire to use this bond to gather them all, and then eliminate the remaining ones that cause destruction and death," said the Immortal.

"Look, wasn't that ectoplasmic spider also entrusted by the gods to start creating heroes and epics? Since most of these heroes are human beings and believe in the national religion, why should they be killed?"

"You are wrong, Immortal." The emperor shook his head: "I admit that the existence of 'heroes' is to deal with those huge threats that we cannot deal with, so the gods, the gods of mankind, arrange the fate, because we believe in

God, because our church serves Him wholeheartedly, He has shown us mercy and mercy."

"What does this mean? It means that the government and the military are incompetent! They can no longer maintain the normal operation of the country, so we need to turn our expectations to the "miracle of God"!"

"Even my father is a devout believer. He is fascinated by God. He firmly believes that as long as he worships the gods, he can be connected to each other forever and have eternal peace. This is simply extremely foolish!"

"Look at the current empire! Our factories are producing billions of supplies anytime and anywhere! Our armies number in the tens of millions, and a single volley from mass-produced golems can destroy an entire city! Gods are said to be able to overturn mountains.

, evaporate the sea, human beings can do it! Open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water. Human beings can survive on their own. We use our own strength to change our destiny and save our own people, instead of waiting for 'gods' and 'heroes'

A gift!”

"Only a corrupt and incompetent country needs existences like 'heroes' to save the day! As long as 'heroes' and the church exist for one day, it means that this country and the human race will always be at the feet of gods and can only rely on compliments and

There is no dignity at all in praying for survival. Look at those patriarchs, priests, even popes, and saints. They chant scriptures day and night, enjoy the support of believers, and teach humans how to pray devoutly and how to be grateful to gods for their gifts.

Every meal, every day of peaceful life.”

"Shame! It's simply a shame to mankind!" The emperor's anger could no longer be suppressed: "The people can live and work in peace and contentment only because of the blood and blood of the soldiers! Farmers grow food, factories weave cloth, and furnaces produce iron tools for support.

They! The academy can come up with new results every day, new runes, new golem improvement technology, new seeds that can grow more food, new improved monsters, but what did God do? He is nothing more than

He is sitting high up in the clouds, waiting for our worship!"

"So, Immortal."

"Whether it's a hero, a church, or the 'right God' who is superior."

"I will personally bring them down to earth and trample them under my feet, telling them that human beings are more noble than gods and more noble than everything else in the world!"

"Human beings are by no means livestock raised by the gods. I will integrate the empire and get out of the pigsties of the gods. Humans do not need gods or heroes."

"Kill them, as humans, so that the empire can remain calm and stable as always. The upper, middle and lower levels should be step-by-step, stable and orderly. We don't need heroes to show mercy or justice. Look at what these heroes do. They are knights.

They are righteous, so they ignore the well-established laws, and they have good intentions, so they can kill the so-called evil people."

"They have honor and good intentions, so... they deserve to die even more." The emperor changed from his usual plain image, and his current expression was even a little ferocious.

But the Immortal was not surprised, because she had already known what was going on with the young man in front of her.

I don’t know how many generations it has been, but probably... about fifteen generations. Fifteen generations ago, the royal family of the empire had set this goal.

Why are there so many principalities and kingdoms?

Because these principalities and kingdoms all believe in the state religion and believe in gods.

Many years ago, the influence of the church was much more terrifying than it is now, because of those legendary heroes and saints.

They uphold perfection, uphold faith, uphold honor, and spread the gospel and light around the world with their extraordinary personal charm and strength.

Legendary heroes still have great influence today. They are widely used in fairy tales, fables, and even various storybooks and history books.

But why has the church now even become a vassal of the empire? When all forces talk about mankind, there will always be only "empire", "empire" and "empire".

This has been planned for a long time, and even thousands of years ago... planning to cut off the existence of legendary heroes and destroy the church was something the empire started to do before the fifteenth generation of emperors.

So far, the results have been impressive.

And just a few days ago, the emperor personally went to heaven in order to avoid future troubles forever. Taking advantage of the fact that he was finally free, after heaven was not so powerful and was restrained by hell, he wanted to kill the big spider who made heroes.

.

But what I didn't expect was that the spider had already arranged everything. Divination 9 was indeed a terrifying skill.

Seeing that the emperor was even a little hysterical because of this incident, the Immortal shook his head: "I can hunt them, but there are too many people, and they are not weak hands."

"Let Gray Lady help you teleport." The emperor said.

"The Gray Lady can only let me come and go a few times a day. The magic power required to transport me is too heavy for her. Kill one, no, two a day. Do you think it's too late?" said the Immortal.

"Whether one or both of them, you need to take action to make them hide, hide, and dare not show up in public again. At least make it appear that these people have never appeared. I also know that, let

It's impossible for you to hunt down everyone, you don't have that spare time, I will use other means to kill them, but I need you to make them all afraid!" The emperor's eyes were cold and he said sternly.

The Immortal was silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Then...a hundred people, I will send out a hundred swords, and you can coordinate with the Gray Lady."

"That's enough, thank you." After the emperor received the Immortal's promise, his expression softened a lot.

Afterwards, he left here, returned to the palace, and continued to arrange other things.

Everything that is not under control, everything that is not within the order of the empire, must die.

No one can survive, not even God.

god?

laugh.

——————————

A few days later, in a huge mine.

Countless slaves and workers are working, pushing the mine carts, lining up like ants, working numbly.

Yes, it is numbness. Everyone is like a walking zombie. The workers are okay, but the slaves are still wearing heavy chains. Most of them are like puppets and dead people. The light in their eyes has disappeared and their expressions have no expression at all.

However, there are some who are shackled and still have a look of hope.

They are generally people who have just been demoted as slaves and still hold on to hope. Moreover, because they have not worked for too long, their bodies are still strong, which is completely different from other slaves who have stayed for a long time and become skinny and dry.

But today, many slaves seemed to be very close to each other.

They looked at each other, and even though they didn't speak, they seemed to be creating a special atmosphere.

The overseers wielding whips didn't notice anything. After all, slaves are slaves, so what else can they do? Skewing each other? As long as it doesn't delay the work. If it delays the work? Then get whipped!

This is what they've always done.

But at this time, in the dense team of hundreds of people, when they walked to the gate of the mine, a man who seemed to be a professional suddenly yelled and directly broke the chain on his body, knocking away two supervisors.
