Gods' Impact Online Chapter 374 Chapter 373: Ninia's Speech || Shadow Sigil

Chapter 374 Chapter 373: Ninia's Speech || Shadow Sigil

"How could you speak against our Lord?" Ninia asked them calmly, but her voice carried heavy emotions.

"We have no choice but to do that," one NPC said.

"What else can we do? We are stranded by the one we wors.h.i.+ped as our G.o.d!" the second one said.

"We gave him everything, yet we never got anything in return," someone said.

"We still kept quiet until he promised bigger rewards to the players. That is unfair!"

"I understand how you are feeling," Ninia said in a loud voice to shut everyone up. "I understand."

"…"

Ninia stepped forward and stood beside Zach as she continued, "Whether we get something in return or not, he is our G.o.d regardless. We shouldn't expect anything from him in the first place.

Remember, we need him. He doesn't need us. Did you forget how he saved our lives during the demon invasion? How can you forget all his favors? If it wasn't for him that day, we all would have died.

Who is being selfish now? Since when did we all start to seek something we never wanted? He lost his lover in the demon invasion, but did he ever blame us? No.

His lover could have escaped through the portal like every other player, yet she stood and fought for us despite losing all her powers.

He has already done so much for us. We all owe our lives to him. Even if we wors.h.i.+p him for our entire life, we wouldn't be able to repay his debt. Yet, you all…"

Ninia shook her head and said, "I am ashamed of all of you. Not only did you speak against him, but you berated him too. Is that your loyalty to him?"

Ninia's speech had left everyone speechless.

Every single word she said was true, yet the NPCs never took that in regard to where it mattered the most.

The NPCs looked at each other and dropped to their knees altogether.

"Please, forgive us, Lord! We don't know what came over us. We deeply apologize for our actions!" they all lamented together.

"..."

"Feel free to punish us for our actions!"

Zach glanced at Ninia and asked her to do something.

"Raise your heads," she said. "This was all just a test from our Lord to test your loyalty, and all of you failed miserably. Regardless, he is graceful, and he will fulfill his promise. He will make us players and give the same benefits he gave to the players!"

She announced while spreading her hands in the air.

'Wait, what?' Zach gulped down anxiously and muttered, "I don't mind doing that, but I have yet to find a way to turn them into a player."

Ninia held Zach's hand and nodded in affirmation, seemingly asking him to trust her.

"Before the sun sets, our Lord will make us players!"

"Oh, my humble and almighty Lord. We are forever grateful to you. You gave us new life, not once, but now twice. We will never forget your blessings and wors.h.i.+p you till our last breaths!" the NPCs a.s.serted.

"If you want to do something for me, spread my religion as much as possible. That would be the greatest help to me."

"Of course."

Zach noticed that players who were his followers had also entered the garden. They had arrived at the promised time without any delay this time.

"You all can return to your duty and return by the sunset," Ninia said.

All the NPCs left, and the garden was now filled with the players.

'I have to mark them.'

"All of you, come out."

All the demons in Zach's shadow came out and knelt before him. Among them, Layla was there too.

Aria furrowed her brows after seeing her and shot a glare at Zach. She had realized that Zach had used necromancy on a dead player against her advice,

Zach averted his gaze and ignored eye contact with Aria.

'I am dead.'

He called Layla back into his shadow and clapped his hands loudly.

"Heed my command and do what I tell you," Zach ordered the demons to mark the players' hands with a sigil of a shadow.

They were the only ones fit for such a task as they drained MP from Zach to stay outside of his shadow. They had no stamina, so they couldn't get tired even if they worked for twenty-four hours for eternity.

The demons began working on Zach's command, but Cerberus didn't move from his position.

Zach raised his brows in amus.e.m.e.nt and asked, "And why are you still here?"

[Such trivial matters are not suitable for me. I will stand by your side and protect you.] Cerberus replied with a proud face.

"Oh? What makes you think I currently need protection? I am surrounded by my demons, my wife, and my prophet. Not to mention, I am in a perfectly healthy condition, unlike the other day when I was suffering from the side effects of my demonification.

Cerberus pointed his gaze at Aria and said, [Are you sure you don't need my protection?]

Zach turned to Aria and found her glaring at him with a furious look on his face.

"Do you think you can save me from her?" he asked Cerberus.

[Unfortunately, no.]

SIGH!

Zach gulped down anxiously and said, "I know what you are going to say, so let's scratch all that and let me apologize for going against your advice. But I was inquisitive to find out about it. And in the end, everything turned out well.

If I had used necromancy on her and revived her. I wouldn't have returned to my senses after my demonification. I still don't know what she did, but all I know is that she saved me. So…"

Zach shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Are we good?"

SIGH!

Aria let out a sigh and muttered, "It's just…"

"Hmm?"

"I am the G.o.ddess of death and destruction. I deal with dead souls, well, not currently but still. And you brought a dead soul back, which was like a betrayal to me."

"Oh…"

"It doesn't really matter as I am not the one doing that anymore."

"Yeah."

Zach then turned to Ninia and asked, "Why did you promise such a thing to the NPCs? You know I still haven't found a way to—"

"You have."

"Hmm?"

Ninia smiled at Zach and said, "You turned me into a player."
