Chapter 130: Chapter 113: Ambitious One Arbitrarily Uses the Name of God

When Bandi heard the news of the retreat, his face on the throne turned ashen.

He had initially thought quelling the rebellion in Orenmo would be a simple matter; however, the defeat of the Royal Capital’s army had struck this illegitimate son severely.

The nobles and ministers in the palace had gone pale, trembling uncontrollably, with no one daring to stand up in such a perilous moment; their eyes were fixed on Bandi on the throne.

"My King, is God punishing us?"

"Is God punishing the descendants of King Dovlo?!"

Suddenly, a minister walked up to the base of the throne, his voice trembling as he addressed Bandi.

The army of the Royal Capital, expected to easily suppress the rebellion, had instead been utterly routed and scattered.

According to the rumors spread by the returning soldiers, the descendant of the Sapo King, somehow, had been endowed with a power like lightning, easily tearing the Royal Capital’s army to shreds.

Who but God could grant such power?

The nobles and ministers felt as if they had been struck a heavy blow; perhaps, this was indeed divine punishment.

Because King Dovlo executed an angel, the progeny of Prophet Al were about to lose their throne!

Faced with the minister’s question, Bandi’s hands trembled on the throne.

He knew that in the past, these noble ministers had questioned King Dovlo in the same way.

"Shut your mouth!"

Bandi’s neck veins bulged,

"I am the bloodline of Prophet Al! Would God favor the offspring of a tyrant?!"

Bandi loudly reproved the minister before the throne, attempting to overpower him with his voice.

At this moment, the other noble ministers turned their gazes towards him, their fear overtaking their respect for the new king, gathering beside the scolded minister, collectively questioning Bandi.

"King Bandi,

Prophet Al acted according to the will of God, but what about King Dovlo?

If he acted according to God’s will, how could he execute His angel?"

"My King,

God is surely punishing us!"

"My King, the wrath of God has come, and both you and we will lose our thrones!"

The intense and trembling voices of the noble ministers swept through the palace, echoing long after.

Caught in a tempest on a lone boat, Bandi’s spirit was battered helplessly by the giant waves.

This time, as an illegitimate son, he experienced the pain of King Dovlo.

A noble minister could still be scolded by the king, but if they united, they could disregard the authority of the king, trampling on the king’s dignity.

Bandi, the illegitimate son, could no longer hold himself together. He was not born a ruler, nor had he ever faced so many questions; he roared and dashed down from the throne, stumbling toward the palace’s flower garden.

At this moment, Bandi could not imagine,

in the Celestial Kingdom, the Gods were watching him.

Divine King Shan’en looked towards Dragon God Endora.

"It’s time."

He spoke in a deep voice.

Dragon God Endora slowly nodded, allowing His voice to echo in Bandi’s ears.

"Bandi, king of the Logos people!

Why do you suffer, why are you tormented?"

In the flower garden, Bandi suddenly looked up, astonished, searching around, hoping to find the speaker.

But Bandi found nothing; the voice had arisen suddenly.

Majestic, dignified, full of allure.

Bandi stood there, stunned, his intuition telling him this voice was definitely not that of the god who saves mankind.

"Who are you? Come out! Who are you? Stop playing god!"

Bandi roared, already emotionally out of control from the torrential questioning of the noble ministers.

Dragon God Endora watched the furious Bandi, a playful smile appearing on His face.

"I am Dragon God Endora,

As before, I represent the Gods to reshape your faith."

The thunderous voice made Bandi’s pupils contract.

Dragon God Endora?

The Gods mentioned in the history books?

"What do you want to do... what do you intend to do?"

Bandi asked in a quivering voice.

"I come to reshape your faith, to let you erect temples of worship for the Gods on earth."

Dragon God Endora paused, gazing down at the Logos before Him, a corner of His mouth slightly curling,

"In doing so, I can grant you a boon like that of Orenmo."

"Orenmo... that kind of boon?"

Bandi’s eyes widened, his crown nearly falling off,

"Was Orenmo’s lightning a gift from the Gods?!"

Dragon God Endora gave a firm reply:

"That was Thunder God Shan’en’s gift. And I will grant you a greater boon, to help you defeat him."

Bandi trembled violently for a moment.

He yearned to accept the boon from the Gods, thereby solidifying his throne.

But...

"You, are you asking me... to forsake our God?"

Bandi asked with a trembling voice.

Watching this illegitimate son, Dragon God Endora’s pupils held a deep mockery.

This new king of Logos clearly understood that receiving the boon meant forsaking faith, yet still felt the need to ask the Gods redundantly.

"Of course, you must build our temple and wholeheartedly believe in us."

Dragon God Endora announced, in a resounding voice, a fact beyond dispute.

Bandi stood still, his consciousness swirling, his legs giving way, thudding as he knelt on the ground.

"Bandi, king of Logos, the boon awaits here, waiting for you to seek it.

Otherwise, are you willing to watch as Orenmo, that bloodline of the Sapo King, usurps your throne?"

Dragon God Endora’s seductive words caused Bandi’s body to tremble like a sieve.

"King of Logos, why do you hesitate?"

Accompanied by the voice of the divine, Bandi raised his hand, touching the crown on his head as if fearing it would drift away from him.
