Heroic Death System

Chapter 113 (Arc 9)

When the War God was angry, the gods hid in fear.

"The four gods of fire, water, earth and dreams will never be allowed to set foot on my territory again."

Instead of sealing them, Saya decided to forbid the four gods from existing in his realm. In other words, the believers of the four gods could not be blessed within Saya's territory nor can the four gods gain any strength from their believers, unless both gods and believers left the city or they had enough power to contend with the War God.

As the most powerful country on the mainland, the Imperial Yi Empire, with its faith on the War God, had a vast territory and large population. The believers of the War God were all over the country. Places that did not receive his influence were usually remote and barren areas.

After they were banished by the War God, the four gods were left to suffer miserably. If they had known how much he valued the Evil God, they would not have acted so rashly.

But the four god's troubles were not over as the time to cash in their deal with the Death God arrived. They'd been imprisoned by the War God for ten days and were then expelled from his realm. The sacrifices they promised to the Death God were under the War God's protection. If they didn't want to be chased by the Death God they were going to have to get down and dirty. Unfortunately, neither the Death God nor the War God could be provoked.

This proved what Unos told them before being sealed, "You all will regret this."

How did they forget that besides killing, the Evil God also had another powerful ability— cursing. They just didn't expect the curse to be effective on gods too!

The four gods wanted to calm the anger of the War God by unsealing the Evil God. It was relatively easy to unseal a god by the one who made the seal. However, what terrified them was that they could not find the Evil God's spirit at all. Could it be that he had been entirely extinguished in body and soul?

Impossible! How could a powerful Evil God be done in so easily by them?

In the past, the fall of the Evil God would have made them jump and cheer, but now, it meant that they would never have room to manoeuvre with the War God.

Four gods felt like crying to death, especially when they had to face the smiling Death God who came to collect his debts.

There was no other way. They could only use the believers of minor gods as replacement. The original believers of the Evil God had reached more than 3,000 people, and so they had to offer more than 3,000 lives to the Death God.

The gods couldn't directly take the lives of mortals so they could only take advantage of their own believers. Shortly after, sacrificial activities of the four gods began to take place outside of the territory of the War God. The bewitched mortals began to capture other believers for no reason, preparing to hold a collective sacrificial ceremony at an appointed time.

Many relatives and friends were captured by them and the people prayed to their gods for help. However, these minor gods did not dare offend the four gods of fire, water, earth and dreams. They also dared not ask help from the angry War God so they could only remain silent in the end.

Their believers sought help from believers of other gods but were refused without a word. Now even their own god had disappeared quietly. In the end, the ones that were willing to help them were actually the followers of the Evil God who had once been scorned by everyone.

When Yitamo decided to send them troops, his parents strongly opposed it and refused to give him a single soldier. These outsiders were neither people of the Imperial Yi Empire nor their allies. There was no reason for the Imperial Yi Empire to intervene in other's affairs and expend their own troops for them.
