Chapter 583 Faith Collapse!
Connery's words echoed in the air, causing all the elves to look at each other in confusion. Many elves who had survived until the Double Tree Era fell into silence.
"presumptuous!"
Several Maia present were immediately furious. They pointed at Connery angrily, with blazing anger flashing in their eyes.
Connery stared back at them without showing any signs of weakness, his face full of determination and unyielding.
He straightened his spine and looked at the Maiyas without fear.
"Connery, you disappoint me so much. What kind of ecstasy soup did the evil dragon give you to make you become so disrespectful to the gods!"
Gandalf looked at Connery with great disappointment, a hint of sorrow and helplessness in his voice.
Connery sneered, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and he said disdainfully:
"Why should I worship God? Why didn't they come to help me when I was being chased around like a dog by Ankara? The artifact my father gave me was shelved because of your bullshit beliefs, and I lost the chance to compete with my brother!"
"Teacher Gandalf, as Maia who was born from Ilúvatar's thoughts, don't you know that elves and humans are the sons of Ilúvatar?
We are the descendants of the Creator God Eru, and we are just Ainu. We are just servants created by the Mother Goddess to serve our family. You took advantage of the Mother Goddess’s sleep to steal the master’s status, you thieves! "
Connery no longer maintained his self-cultivation this time, but directly cursed Gandalf's nose.
His words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. The Maiyas looked at him in shock, unable to believe what they heard.
Connery's rhetoric was fierce and blunt, directly challenging the belief system they had long believed in.
Gandalf's eyes widened and he looked at Connery in astonishment. He could not accept such remarks.
He shook his head and tried to persuade Connery to change his mind: "This is just the evil dragon's words to deceive you. How dare he be so blasphemous? Does he know that the entire world was created by the Lord God Manwe and a kind of Valar?" "?"
Gandalf argued hard, hoping to arouse Connery's reason.
However, Connery's answer made him completely despair. Connery sneered and said:
"Poor teacher Gandalf, poor Maia, I thought those thieves just changed history, but it turns out that even your real memories have been washed away!"
Connery's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Gandalf's heart, causing him to take a few steps back with a pale face, looking at the rebellious Connery in front of him in disbelief.
However, Connery directly took out a contract signed by Xiao and Manwe and threw it in Gandalf's face: "This is the contract signed by father and Manwe. There is no evil dragon or devil. It’s just the gods taking back the eternal fire and the soul fire script of mankind!”
"No...impossible? This is absolutely impossible! This is wrong...this must be fake, fake!"
Gandalf's eyes widened, and he looked at the contract in his hand with disbelief. He could feel the familiar divine power on it, which was the power from the Lord God Manwe.
His body was shaking slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment. He couldn't believe what he saw and couldn't accept this cruel fact.
He has always been full of respect and worship for the Lord God, believing that the Lord God is a symbol of justice, kindness and justice.
However, at this moment, he discovered that there was such an evil side hidden behind the Lord God, which made him feel extremely painful and desperate.
He couldn't help but think of his experience in Middle-earth, his friends who had fought alongside him, and their efforts and sacrifices to save the world.
Now, he discovered that all this was just a scam, a carefully planned lie.
"Calm down, Gandalf!"
There was a tremor in Elrond's voice, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes shone with grief and anger.
He grabbed Gandalf's shoulders hard, trying to calm him down.
However, Gandalf seemed to have lost his mind and kept mumbling to himself: "This is not true, this is not true..."
He turned and looked at the other Maiyas. They also fell into extreme shock and pain, and some even approached madness.
Elrond sighed helplessly. Elrond understood that if the situation was not controlled as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.
So, he waved his hand to the people around him to come forward and hold down the out-of-control Maia to prevent them from doing too much.
After dealing with these matters, Elrond slowly turned around, picked up the contract again and read it carefully.
As time passed, his face became more and more ugly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
When he finally read the last line, his body shook as if he had suffered a huge blow.
He silently put down the contract, covered his face with his hands, and took a deep breath: "Connery, my child, are you sure the evil dragon is not deceiving you?"
"I have never seen Manwe, but I can feel the divine power in the contract!"
Connery's answer made Elrond completely give up. He had seen Manwe and recognized this power.
Elrond raised his head, his eyes revealing endless sadness and exhaustion, and his voice was low and hoarse:
"I never thought that we have been deceived all this time. Our beliefs, our efforts, and our sacrifices are all just to cover up an ugly truth."
He glanced at everyone present and continued:
"We thought we were fighting for justice and protecting the world. This is just a ridiculous story made up by the gods."
At this point, Elrond's voice became choked. His parents turned into the sun and moon for this world, feeling eternal loneliness in the sky.
As a result, reality told them that they had been living in a lie and fighting for a false goal. Even with King Elrond's tens of thousands of years of experience, he could hardly bear the despair brought by the truth.
“So what do we gain by giving up eternal life?”
Galadriel, who had been silent until now, finally spoke slowly.
At this time, she was in an extremely embarrassing and delicate situation, because she had been selected by Varda and was about to become the new goddess of light.
She neither fully belongs to the elves nor fully to the Valar clan.
The reason why she has been reluctant to become a god is precisely because of her deep fear of Manwe.
The number of followers of the Goddess of Light is even greater than that of Manwë himself.
She wasn't sure how Manwë would treat her if she became a god and traveled to Valinor.
