The truth about temples

The room that looked like a hallway was so messy. They didn't know what to do next, but out of nowhere a person appeared in front of them. This was the 'teacher' who had not appeared for a long time.

The people were on guard. They had no idea what was dangerous and what wasn't, so they had to be on their toes.

This man, who calls himself a disciple, was now frowning in front of them. He seemed to be fighting a battle between earth and heaven, and a decision was made.

- Okay...since you've made it this far, you deserve some credit, but I have to say you've been very lucky...

He rubs his face a little then continues.

- Follow me. We can't stay in the hall all the time.

Then he turned and walked quickly towards one of the doors at the end of the hall.

The group hurried to keep up. No one noticed that Anka seemed distracted since she set foot here. She looked blankly everywhere.

While the rest of the people entered through the door accessed by the teacher, Anka stood still in amazement.

Then her eyes defocused again. She went to a wall and pressed her hand on it. Black smoke immediately surrounded them and was absorbed by the wall.

On the group's side, the new room was a longer corridor filled with all kinds of paintings.

They seemed to neutralize important moments in history.

Like making planets and all galaxies. Or the first civilization with high intelligence. The first attempt by beings to explore space. The first being to absorb magic .. etc ...

They were all looking at these paintings with amazement, it's a pity that they had no idea what they were talking about. After all, most of them were so long ago that the human species probably didn't even exist. 

The last painting was a cradle scene. It was throwing a white haired woman into what appeared to be a black hole. Too bad you couldn't make out her face, or the place, or the enemies...

Then they continued on.

They entered through another door. There was a very big library here. If the one in the temple above was big, it seemed infinite...

There was something strange about this place. Not that about being small or big, or magical or not. There was something in the air, an invisible pressure.

They felt like they were swimming in water.

The 'teacher' coordinates them to sit in a circle around him. He just raised a hand, and chairs actually rose from the floor.

The group sat down quickly.

The 'Professor' raised his voice and:

- First of all, I must praise you for arriving here. 'Very well done!' Then I have to argue with you a little. Have you no idea how dangerous a god temple is?

Madeva - We have no idea. Far, we panicked because we haven't seen you in the last few days.

The woman on Rojo had invented a plausible reason.

- I understand it's my mistake, but you should be more careful. Otherwise you will end up as your colleagues.

Bico - Teachers, do you know what happened to them?

- No idea . But most likely you will never see them again.

They all felt a thrill go through them.

Alesio - Teacher, why haven't you come to us for a few days?

The teacher's face darkened instantly, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth with hatred.

- Why ? That's because someone entered the punishment area of ​​the sealed souls on the planet and somehow released them. And that's not all ... even the most feared villains of the last three decades have been taken ...

Matella - Is this place also a prison?

- Not . The persons were not alive. The temple borrows the goddess's powers to seal her only .

Lupad - Is the seal easy to destroy?

- How is that possible? Even if you have death powers, you wouldn't have the authority to violate her energy even if she didn't use it herself!

Cual - Then who did it?

- I do not know . I was trying to investigate, but the rest who were sealed in another place not far away started making a fuss...

The teacher looked exhausted.

- Hah ... a few hours ago I was returning only to see the temple empty and the protective barrier was up.

William - Protective barrier?

- Yes . Protective barrier. Normally after going down those steps you would have arrived here, but you were redirected to the Reception of the Gods. This place is only intended for direct servants of a deity or the deity itself. It is a place where they convene meetings.

Matei - Are you saying that we were taken to such a dangerous place?!

-Yes. Regardless of purpose or origin, no one can interfere with those rooms and Reception. So even if I knew you were there I couldn't get you out or communicate with you.

The teacher looked at them and then shook his head.

- It's a miracle that you survived this long.

Matella - Why do you say that?

- Because this is the temple of the Dead goddess. You have no idea of ​​her powers, but in short, the energy in the temple would have pushed you to make the worst decision in that hall. No matter how smart or cautious you are, you've probably still done something stupid.

Cuaal - Is it really that creepy?

- Wait until I finish explaining. Where do you think those doors lead?

There were a few who were ready to make some guesses, but were cut off directly by the teacher's words.

- It leads directly to the god whose door is the sign. Then you want me to explain what a god is?

Alesio - If we entered through a door, would we 100% meet that god?

- Yes . Well, maybe you won't see it because you die in the corridor leading to it. Some gods customized the corridas for fun. When some crazy believers who want to meet them , that corridor is a protection but also a condition to them . Although even if they pass it, they can be killed in many ways, it generally depends on their mood.

Juliana - Teacher, some entered through the door of Life, of Fire and through the door with a whirlwind. What are the chances of being alive?

William - The god of Life isn't alive so maybe Hogan's team is...

The teacher interrupted him.

- Those who entered through that door are 100% dead.

The group widened their eyes.

Alesio - If a god is dead, will those who enter be killed?

- That's not what I mean. The god of Life is alive.

There were sounds of surprise among them.

- The reason why my master is not here is because of this. He felt the awakening of the god and left here for various reasons. He had saved me from a war-torn planet and left me here. Although he had taught me nothing, he gave me a ring that allows me this freedom in most areas and the mission to read as much as I can. Plus the responsibility for all students who come to the temple. I've been doing this for 26 years and I haven't seen him since.

William - Good. The god of Life is alive... why will 100% die? Isn't it said that he is the most gentle and good god?

- Ha ha ha ... Gods cannot be bearers of such labels ... It is true that he is the best god, but not in the way you think. In fact you should fear him more than the Dead goddess.

Sayon - Why? Is not the goddess the most feared being, being cruel and merciless?

The teacher shook his head...

- Again... you can't label the deities like that... It's not good to talk about the goddess so I'll tell you why your colleagues will be dead. 

The man had summoned another chair for him and sat down.

- To begin with, the one who enters through a door is akin to trespassing on their territory. Something that upsets all the gods in general. Then the personality of the god of Life is good and kind, but just as strict in his rules as the goddess. This is one thing they have in common, otherwise they wouldn't have ruled the world for millennia without problems. It is true that he has mercy and is very loving with his creations, but there are limits. He is supposedly not upset by the betrayal of his creations as he considers it evolution, but if a servant betrays him...

Here he paused and looked at them seriously ...

- .... it is believed to completely wipe it out of existence.

Matelea, Alesio, Ella - What?

- Yes . You heard right. It erases his existence. It doesn't kill them. It theoretically withdraws all life energy and primordial source from that individual . Thus it is effectively deleted. Any trace of his existence is also erased. His place in the spatio-temporal flow is completely withdrawn. Any memory of him is taken away, and that person no longer exists in the world in any form.

Mateo - This is creepy!

- Yes . You can say it one more time. The reason why since the creation of the universe there has been no information about any servant betraying him is explained as follows.

Ella - But we still have the memories of them.

- It means that he didn't delete them completely. But at least their lives must have been taken away. He is known to be good but also very proud and noble. He wouldn't accept someone getting so close to him...
