GODZILLA- CH-28. It lookss like they misunderstood me!
Added 2024-11-15 03:24:38 +0000 UTC"Damn it! Why didn't those countless faith-like thoughts from before the birth of my kingdom allow me to learn the language of these little guys?"
It's simply too unreasonable, and it's becoming a real headache for James.
The bubbling images that had previously manifested in James's spiritual world were actually a form of spiritual interaction—a type of communication that involved feelings and impressions rather than spoken words.
As a result, James could only stare blankly at the dinosaur man, who was shouting passionately, fumbling around in his own wits for a response.
This scene left him feeling helpless, unsure of how to react.
"Great Father God! Your humble people long for your favor once more."
"Now, the order of the Four Gods is challenged by the evils of Chaos."
"There are giant white worms watching from the perpetually frozen land in the north, burrowing demon worms wreaking havoc under the black soil in the east. In the deep sea to the south, the descendants of evil gods attack our allies. Finally, in the west, an evil monster attempts to seize the power of the Molten Flame God."
"Great Father God! Your people need your guidance and care. They need you to once again unleash the power of divine punishment upon the forces of chaos and evil in this world!"
Under James's immense head, an elder who was performing a ritual knelt and prayed loudly, tears streaming down his face as he relayed the troubles of their world to their Father God.
But the elder had no idea that James didn't understand a single word he was saying.
Wide-eyed, James quietly watched the dinosaur people as they chanted and gestured excitedly.
To James, it seemed these dinosaur people who worshipped him were simply trying to flatter him. So he decided to wait for them to finish, and, under their hopeful gazes, he finally made a gesture.
Raising his enormous hand, James pointed towards Black Stone City in the distance, then pointed back at himself.
The gesture was simple—he just wanted to indicate that he was heading there to take a look.
But this movement was completely misunderstood by the elder priest below.
The elder priest looked at James's arm gesturing back and forth, and after a brief moment, he burst into joyful cries.
"The Father has given us a revelation! He has answered us! He has granted the request of His humble people!"
"Father God has declared that He will first go to the deep sea in the south to join the other three gods of order! After vanquishing the strongest evil god in the deep sea, He will then unleash His greatest power to punish those who dare to threaten order!"
"The people of the Four Gods of Order need not worry any longer!"
The elder's interpretation immediately sent the other six dinosaur priests into a state of excitement and joy. Their merciful Father God had awakened, heard their cries, and graciously agreed to their requests!
Oh, how merciful their Father God was!
Indeed, as the late elder had proclaimed, the Father God of the Lava Sons was the most merciful and majestic god in existence. Look at the strength in his shadow, which covered the sky and sun, and the wisdom in his gaze!
Most importantly, all seven priests had witnessed the elder ascend to the kingdom of God.
At the moment they followed the elder into the magma, they saw with their own eyes how the elder's body transformed into light upon contact with the lava, rising into the sky before appearing in front of their Father God.
They saw the elder's soul fire explode under Father God's guidance, then merge with the starry portal in the Father God's chest, which gleamed with the glory of the Kingdom of God.
Though brief, as sacred priests of the lava, they had all seen the kingdom filled with molten lava and a "shining star" hanging high within its celestial expanse.
They were in awe and joy over this vision, but it was a joy they kept contained, fearing that openly discussing the Kingdom of God might be seen as blasphemy.
"Yes! We cannot let Father God travel to the coastal lands alone. We should at least send some of our people to lead the way, and we must prove to Father God that the new generation is devoted to Him!"
"Hurry! Let us return! Contact the other three tribes and dispatch a battalion to defend the city!"
The elder leading the ritual was serious and filled with excitement as he bowed to James alongside the other priests before they hurried back towards the city.
Watching them, James felt a sense of satisfaction. These priests were perceptive, quickly grasping his intention—or so he thought.
Unlike in the past, when he had to gesture endlessly to make himself understood, these dinosaur people now seemed more attuned to his commands. Yet, amusingly, they still sometimes misunderstood his intentions.
Thus, following behind the seven priests, James moved slowly, melting the earth as he swam towards Black Stone City.
Soon, he arrived about five miles from the residential outskirts of Black Stone City. From there, with the power of the lava, James gradually lifted his massive body from the ground, revealing his full form.
His colossal figure loomed over Black Stone City, and James found himself intrigued by the scene.
Inside Black Stone City, countless dinosaur people scurried back and forth, and many of them immediately began to kneel and pray as they caught sight of James.
In the dark night, the city echoed with joyous cries of prayer, filling the air with fervent energy.
In the beliefs of this era, there was no notion that mortals could not look directly upon their gods. After all, the gods of this time lived on the same land as their people, maintaining a close connection.
Though James was unique, having slumbered for ages, other gods like the Shark God, Snake God, and even the Mosquito God were well-known for waking often.
In fact, these gods frequently visited Black Rock City to demand offerings, especially appreciating the dinosaur people's skill in preparing delicious food.
Thus, most inhabitants of the four tribes in Black Rock City had often seen their gods.
However, compared to the other gods, James was especially massive.
The Snake God was the largest of the other three, yet in comparison, it would be like a giant python against an elephant standing before James.
So, when the four tribes of Black Stone City saw James up close, they were stunned, as if in a dream.
But regardless, whether or not James was their specific god, they all bowed in reverence.
As one of the Four Gods of Order, James held respect from all the tribes, who now believed in a shared doctrine: that order, upheld by the Four Gods, should be worshipped collectively.
This new belief system, rooted in the Cult of Order, had begun to gain prominence—a faith that, for the first time, united followers of different tribes.
James soon realized he had vastly overestimated the dinosaur people's understanding and couldn't help but admire their imagination.
"They completely misunderstood me! What are they planning to do this time?"
At dawn the next morning, he observed a large gathering of warriors from the four tribes. Marching out of the city in disciplined lines and brandishing spears, they seemed fully prepared for battle.
In a flash, James understood: his gestures from the previous night had been taken as a call to war.
When was the last time something like this happened? Was it when the dinosaurs launched an attack on the Snake People?
Looking around, James found that the warriors had organized themselves impressively.
The dinosaur warriors were arranged neatly along the plains by the river, the Snake People took their places nearby, while the Shark Men kept half of their bodies submerged in the water. Above, the Mosquito People flew in a circle around James, hovering at shoulder level.
With a sigh, James took his first step forward, and instantly the horns of war sounded from the priests.
Under the clear sky, a distant booming began to echo—a series of explosions sent dust and debris billowing into the air.
And ahead of the smoke, the warriors of the Four Tribes advanced, united in spirit.
Amidst this impressive display, the Mosquito People flew around James, casting glances of admiration upon his towering, awe-inspiring form.
