Chapter 738: The Original Believer and the Lotus of the Mother

Translator: Lonelytree

” All living things suffer in the calamity and sink into oblivion. The pain of living beings in the real world has spread to the Void World. Yurkus and Fenrir both felt it, and they made different decisions.

“Void Whale Fenrir pursued non-interference.

“She believed that the real world had its own home and that suffering from destruction and decay was a curse that all living beings were born with.

“She felt that as a Void Being, she should watch the destruction of the physical universe. This process would instead provide a large amount of energy to the Void World.

“And for the development of the Void World.

“She was happy to see the living beings in the real world suffer day after day.

“Lord Yurkus had a completely different idea.

“He believed that living beings in the real world should also have the right to enjoy the beauty of the Void World.

“Therefore, he planned to swallow all the creatures in the real world into his stomach, and then sublimate them into noble void life, and then live forever in the void world.

“Doing so would actually weaken the overall energy of the Void World.

“Thus, the Void Whale Fenrir strongly opposed this.

“After a few conflicts.

“Both sides became mortal enemies.

“The Order of Calamity was born to believe in Lord Yurkus, the representative of the Void Ruler on this land.

“And the Void Whale Fenrir is also constantly supporting some mortals to resist our power.

“The conflict between the two sides was misunderstood by the secular world.

“Gradually.

“The Order of Calamity had become the evil party.

“And the people that Fenrir supported became the heroes of mankind.

“This is actually a very laughable thing.”

Mary Joshua’s narration was sincere, and if one ignored the inner logic, it sounded like it really was the case.

But Matthew couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Who would believe that swallowing all living creatures into their stomachs would be equivalent to saving them?

What if the Void Ruler burped after eating and said that there was no place for them in the Void World?

He had thought that he would have a deep understanding of the situation after Mary had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

He did not expect this.

Matthew felt a hint of disdain for the propaganda ability of these cults.

Before he could think further.

Mary looked at Matthew with sparkling eyes.

” Actually, I know what you’re thinking. Mortals are all afraid of death. You can’t understand the greatness of the Void Ruler, just like a mouse can’t understand a mage’s Dimensional Door.

” With this in mind, we often wonder if there’s a gentler way to make the world accept the fate of entering the Void?

” Or, can we use the power from Yurkus to create a new way to enter the Void?

” It is the true wish of the upper echelons of the Order of Calamity to become a more transcendental Void being without going through a ritual that mortals cannot understand, such as being devoured.

” And in order to achieve this, we serve Yurkus devoutly. At the same time, we control the limits of the execution of his orders. Usually, we only do half of it. Do you understand what I mean?”

Her eyes shone even brighter.

Matthew was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted.

“You mean…You didn’t really carry out Yurkus’ orders seriously?!”

Mary Joshua nodded.

“I’ve said it before. Yurkus’ decree is too shocking for mortals.

“Yurkus himself did not care about this, so there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

“As a mediator, we believe that there should be a way for both sides to reach an agreement.

“And that path can only be found by us.

“During this process.

“You’ll find that the Order of Calamity will always screw up at the critical juncture, that our members will make mistakes, and that things that are about to be completed will always suddenly fail-

“The Void Whale Fenrir and those self-proclaimed righteous companions must have thought that it was all their credit.

“In fact, that was not the case.

“If we hadn’t deliberately gone easy on them, many tragedies would have happened.

“It was us who had stopped this world from truly being destroyed time and time again.

“At the same time, we are also trying to figure out how to make humans better accept the fate of entering the void.

“We are the true guardians of this world!”

Matthew was dumbfounded by these words.

But thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be traces.

” The sorceress who made the Wood Elf Queen pregnant was also a member of the Order of Calamity. If he had not warned them in advance, the child of Yurkus would have completely overturned the land and not just left behind the Scar of the Dead.

” That Evil Art Master used a ritual to extract the Void Power from the Scar of the Dead, leaving behind only endless ashes. It’s also because of this that the range of influence of the Scar of the Dead is limited.

” We obtained a lot of research results through that portion of Void Energy, but that’s not the key. The key is that in this incident, we grasped the appropriate control. The Void Ruler was barely satisfied, and the living beings in the material world did not suffer too much. We also obtained what we wanted and slowed down the Void Ruler’s invasion of the real world.

” This is a very typical win-win case. To be honest, I don’t expect a simple-minded person to understand our situation and wishes, but I hope you are an exception.”

Mary Joshua looked at Matthew seriously.
