Chapter 532 Iserd: My God above!
The next day, the sun shines brightly.
Su Chen emerged from the room with a holy look on his face, exuding a profound philosophical aura.
After the war came reflection; now his mind is full of philosophy.
God is real. How does God view humanity?
The boundary between nothingness and hope: is it the beginning or the end of life? Why is life born?
Why does the universe exist, and what is its most primordial origin?
Su Chen sighed and, with countless thoughts in his mind, entered the room where Iserde was imprisoned.
Although it was described as a detention facility, there were no strange or complicated instruments of torture.
It's just a simple, clean room with complete restrictions on entry and exit.
Iserl was sitting in a chair, her expression serene and indifferent, even a little dazed.
Sunlight streamed through the glass and fell on her face, making her feel warm.
For many years, she was never idle. She devised mission plans for the Opoles Squad, advanced the internal goals of the Praise Society, prepared for revenge against Lorenz and Shining Meek, and attempted to resurrect her fallen comrades.
Now, she doesn't need to think about anything. Fate's work is finished, more mysterious than she imagined, and her enemy has met a dramatic end.
She slept well last night, a rare occurrence, and was not anxious about the upcoming trial. She could accept either outcome calmly, whether it was what she desired or what she deserved.
Upon seeing Su Chen enter, Iserd immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "It's great to finally meet you, Lord Su Chen."
“Sinner Iserd, thank you for giving me the opportunity to have an audience.”
Her gaze quickly swept over Su Chen's face, without giving him an impolite look. But meeting Su Chen in person for the first time still gave her a feeling different from watching the video.
As expected of a great hero who transformed New Ellito, his dignified appearance goes without saying, but more importantly, he possesses a serene temperament, making him more approachable than she had imagined, like a detached saint.
"There's no need to be so polite."
Su Chen casually sat down in the chair opposite Iserld: "I've heard your story and I sympathize with your plight. I'm curious why you want to see me."
“State your demands and give me a reason that is acceptable. There are many pitiful bad people in the world, and sympathy will not make me lend a helping hand, nor will it change their fate.”
She is indeed a stunning beauty, with exquisite features and a powerful aura.
Even though he is now a prisoner in reality, and many shadows have faded, traces of his former sharpness can still be faintly seen.
"Your frankness is as sharp as a knife."
Iserd's expression turned serious, and she said reverently, "You resurrected the Silver Army, bringing those who died unjustly back into the light. My comrades may not be as elite as they are, but they share similar admirable qualities."
“They lost their lives because of Lorenz and Huijingmeike’s greed. I would like to ask you to help them truly return.”
“Merciful God, your radiance shines upon New Elidu, please also extend your gaze upon them.”
“I don’t know how I can move you, but I offer you all that I have, whether you are willing to have pity on those warriors who are toyed with by fate.”
Her words were relatively rational at first, but the more she spoke, the more she seemed to worship God.
Years of experience at the Praise Society failed to brainwash her into becoming a true believer of the First Lord, because the First Lord was not omnipotent and did not resolve her needs.
However, the doctrines of the Praise Society did not have no influence on her.
When she saw the truly omnipotent being, and witnessed this deity performing miracles to protect all living beings, she consciously placed him in the highest position in her heart.
She didn't ask the gods to do anything; she simply stated her requests and let the gods decide. And her offering of everything wasn't as a price for a transaction, but rather an obligation she was obligated to fulfill in the face of divine judgment.
She didn't know whether the world was created by God or by Su Chen. She only knew that according to that doctrine, everything in the world belonged to God, who was the ruler of heaven and earth.
"That's what you actually think?"
Su Chen looked at Iserd with some surprise: "From a sharp-tongued soldier to a tough bishop of the Order of Praise, and now a devout believer."
He remarked with emotion, "Such a tremendous change is hard to imagine happening to one person. The emotional transformation you've undergone must be truly moving."
He was not surprised that Iserd knew about the Silver Army's resurrection.
That wasn't really a secret; he didn't restrict his sisters-in-law's movements, he just arranged for them to attend classes every day. It was quite normal for them to be recognized by someone with ulterior motives when they went out.
He didn't care at all. He had already passed the period when he was weak and had to hide even if he had unlimited bullets. Now he was fearless of any hostility.
He was only surprised by Iserd's behavior; he was both the chosen one of hope and the chosen one of negativity, and he could sense Iserd's piety.
He might not be a completely lost fanatic, but he's at least half a fanatic.
This was only their first meeting, and his miracles in New Elidu were disguised as technological feats; he had no intention of proselytizing at all.
Even in his Star Iron Universe, miracles of hope have been displayed, yet there isn't a single fanatical believer. Of course, that's because hope doesn't need faith; once faith is established, it ceases to be hope and becomes blind obedience.
"It was just a difficult journey, only worth laughing about."
Iserld shook her head, her expression somewhat complicated.
She felt incredibly unlucky, having just encountered the fall of the old capital, having just been entangled with a beast like Major General Lorenz, and having Lukro supplying benefits to Lorenz.
After enduring so much hardship along the way, she felt like God was playing a cruel joke on her.
But she was also lucky, having enough opportunity for revenge. Many people don't have this opportunity and can only die in despair without knowing why.
She thinks it would be a box office hit if it were made into a movie.
"You've moved me; you're my first fanatic."
Su Chen tapped the table lightly and looked at Iserde.
Faith is a very powerful force, even profound in the nine levels. Buddhism and Taoism speak of incense offerings and vows, while God speaks of faith—they are all the same thing.
He possesses the teachings of the three major mainstream beliefs: Buddhism, Taoism, and God, as well as the teachings of other lesser-known, heretical deities. They are all interconnected, differing only in their utilization and methods of application.
Blind faith in hope is no longer a belief belonging to hope, but it still has power.
Currently, all the faith power he has gathered is around the seventh rank, enough to shake a star for a short time. Not particularly strong, but his future is promising.
Don't worry too much about it, but it's beneficial to have a backup plan. If he doesn't use this power, it would be disgusting if someone else misappropriates it.
Therefore, Iserld became valuable to him.
She is a fanatic, a high-quality mortal individual within the faith system who would be favored by God. She is a penitent, holding a unique position within the God faith system.
He doesn't believe in the idea of becoming a Buddha by laying down one's butcher's knife, and he won't pardon a criminal and then act as if nothing happened.
But he can undo everything, just as he resolved Twiggy's troubles. Thus, the sins of the past remain in his heart, but have no effect on reality.
"This……"
Iserld paused for a moment.
This surprise came too easily and too suddenly, like a pie falling from the sky.
Was she a fanatic? She didn't know; she simply believed in the existence of God.
It seems a bit hasty to make a judgment based on just one meeting with her.
But if she thought about it, this was a divine revelation, she felt it was quite normal; seeing through people's hearts should be a standard skill for gods.
