But Morin was different. He was uncertain about the specifics of the end times, but the feeling of impending death constantly reminded him that time was running out.

So the two of them may have different reasons, but they both chose the most radical approach.

After making the decision and discussing the plan, the four of them walked into the mud together.

As Kru's spell was dispelled, the rain fell.

Rainwater, carrying forbidden pollution, dampened Kru's hair.

His dark hair clung to his skin, and the forbidden power stirred up the forbidden knowledge within Kru's mind.

Just then, the smiling and crying faces made "hehe" and "woowoo" sounds.

A strong aura of forbidden sin erupted.

The reason why the two brothers did not refuse was revealed at this moment: they had already been exposed to the taboo, and quite deeply at that.

In fact, if it weren't for Klu's repeated use of forbidden knowledge during the Eighty-Eight Regiment Commander Trial, Klu's level of forbidden knowledge would probably not even qualify him to carry their shoes.

"I see. The two main emotions of joy and sorrow are related to the two main cognitive concepts of 'good and bad' in the mind."

"This is a manifestation of the essence of life. When encountering something they like, even a baby will laugh. But when they feel pain or something they don't like, they will cry out."

"Your taboos are also reflected in this aspect, the taboo—distorted cognition."

Thought is this number of two, and cognition is something that is highly bound to thought.

The two brothers, one with a smiling face and the other with a crying face, are researching this kind of problem.

On the one hand, they plotted to seize the Earth Godhood, but the Earth Godhood was not their first choice; they sought the Number of Ideas.

They believe that the number of thoughts each person possesses is derived from their thoughts, and by starting from these numbers of thoughts, one can find the underlying thoughts themselves.

So they conducted a series of experiments, and in the process, they naturally touched upon taboos and sins.

On the other side, Morin was in a relatively better position, but he still carried other forbidden auras.

This one isn't exactly clean either.

Kru knew that if gods didn't have the ability to purify and cleanse forbidden sins, then almost all gods would have something similar.

With this conviction, the sins committed by the four of them became even more grave.

At the same time, this sin is linked together with the power of fiction and the polluted soil.

Chapter 866 Errors and Distortions

On the other side, in the archives, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stop this farce?" Akemi asked.

He had already stood up, and the divine power within him rippled slightly. With a simple movement, he could alter the surrounding environment, stop the rain, and resist further invasion from the forbidden forces.

However, at that time, Kru and the others will lose their eligibility to attain godhood.

"The assessment isn't over yet, is it?" Nemus flipped through a book from the Church of the Earth—the biography of the Sun God.

In the mythological era, the sun god was relatively 'ordinary', after all, he was only a god in the fiftieth position, neither high nor low.

Although he had some ingenious ideas and achieved some historical accomplishments, he was only a slightly stronger, medium-level divine power.

His power began in the Golden Age.

This biography of the sun god records some of his deeds during the golden age.

As Nemus turned the page, he said, “You don’t have any more time, Akrimi.”

"They are your best choice."

“But he betrayed you.” Akrim knew Nemus was right, but he didn’t care.

Save the world...

The god of the earth did it without hesitation.

They, too, joined the charge toward the end.

In the end, they lost completely.

This church exists because of the earth god, who is its final pillar.

If he too succumbs, then everything concerning the god of the earth will be destroyed.

But that was their end, their final chapter.

Akemi is in a state of being both enlightened and not truly enlightened.

He hoped that someone could step forward, obtain the title of Earth God, and then become the Earth God once again.

They will resurrect these people of the Earth Church and launch another charge called Salvation.

However, it is entirely acceptable that they are powerless to do anything, and in the end, they all perish and are destroyed, ushering in the end.

“Just betrayal.” Nems looked at Kru in the rain, his eyes flashing with an emotion that was hard to tell whether it was admiration or something else.

“We knew from the beginning that if one day I could achieve my own goals by sacrificing him, then I would not hesitate to use him as a tool to sacrifice.”

"He's the same way; he won't hesitate to betray me if it means he can achieve his ambitions."

“A twisted relationship,” Akemi commented.

“The world itself is distorted.” Nemus did not deny the distortion of this trust relationship.

“From the moment cold numbers began to be passed down, the relationship between people began to become distorted.”

"The calculation of numbers has always been nothing but cold calculation."

"When it falls into a wrong calculation and makes huge mistakes, there are even more distortions beneath this coldness."

"Aren't you also a product of this distortion?"

“That’s love,” Akemi said, shaking his head. He then silently sat back down at the table and added, “You’re right, that’s twisted.”

Akrimi was the son of the god of the earth.

However, he is different from the children of other gods.

The divine children are very powerful. Although they rarely enter the material plane, they are better representatives than saints in places like the astral plane.

Therefore, most of the divine children are actually quite famous within the circle of gods.

Akramie, however, was different; shortly after his birth, he grew up in the material plane.

Apart from a small number of high-ranking members of the Earth Church, not many people knew his identity.

The reason for all this is simply that he is the offspring of God and man.

Therefore, compared to other divine children, his divine power has not been transformed into many forms, and his physical status is closer to that of an independent life, yet he has not reached the unique state of a mythical species.

That in itself is a miracle.

Although there is no reproductive barrier between humans and gods, even a slightly larger movement by a god can easily kill a human, let alone allow them to conceive offspring together.

Even if the gods are extremely careful in performing the procreation ritual, neither men nor women, gods nor goddesses seem to have the possibility of conceiving each other's life information.

God will kill everything.

The life information that enters a deity's body will be squeezed out and erased, making it impossible to contain the deity's life information.

When the life information of a deity enters a human body, it will completely 'deify' the person, resulting in the person becoming a ray of light that exists only for a moment.

It's like the pastor's attempt to purify himself failed.

No one knows who Aklimya's father or mother is, nor does anyone know why he was born.

No one knows why the Earth God would have a child with such a human.

And why the Earth God changed so much after that period of time.

Even Akrimi himself knew that before that, the Earth God, though 'merciful,' was a standard 'deity,' and he was also very good at calculating mathematical expectations in accordance with numerology.

The Earth God was willing to go against the tide and choose to fight against the final return, largely because of the changes that occurred after meeting that human.

Akramie asked his 'father god' for the reason, and the answer he received was the ridiculous 'love'.

However, in the eyes of those who understand the laws behind numerology, love is something that should not exist; in Nems' current words, it is distorted.

After Akemi stopped moving, his gaze involuntarily turned to Kru, waiting for his reaction.

As for Morin and the smiling and crying faces, to be honest, although these people also participated in the assessment, Akemi never considered them as candidates.

Kru was unaware of everything that had happened in the archives, nor did he know that the opportunity he had risked everything to fight for, even at the cost of being shrouded in taboo, had almost led to his complete disappearance.

But at this moment, he was slowly activating forbidden power.

There are many more taboos; every action, force, or piece of knowledge that disobeys, disrupts, or interferes with the number is a taboo.

At this moment, Kru discovered that the taboo within the rain was called destruction.

The taboo of destruction and the end are very similar, but there is a close yet different relationship between the two.

At this moment, Kru finally understood the difference.

The end is the truth; the numerical extension of this world itself ultimately leads to the end.

If everything is in a normal state, then it is normal for the world to eventually end and return to dust after billions or even billions of years have passed.

At that time, even fate will always protect the end.

But the destruction of taboos is not like that.

Destroying taboos is a mistake. The world of numerology itself is flawed, and this flaw is rapidly amplified by a series of errors.

So destruction and end have combined, that the world has entered the end times after only a few hundred million years of operation.

This is how the peculiar situation arose: destiny is the maintenance of the return of all things to the earth, yet it is also constantly trying to keep the world running.

Chapter 867 The End and Destruction

The end of the world is a truth.

After the end, there may be a new beginning.

Therefore, fate does not care about the end, but rather protects the end, making it form a cycle.

However, the destruction of the world is not the right thing to do.

Therefore, under no circumstances should the world be allowed to be destroyed.

If that's the case, as time goes by, it will return to a muddy state, and something within that mud might finally settle down, from which something akin to fate might be reborn.

And even if that were the case, what would be resurrected might no longer be fate, or even be considered a mere coincidence.

Kru's understanding of all this was not yet clear, but Nemus saw it clearly through Kru's insights.

Taboos are essentially things that disrupt the original digital model.

The emergence of taboos caused the entire digital model of the world to teeter on the brink of collapse, resulting in numerous flaws.

In order to restrain taboos, fate sends down 'sin'.

This special mark of sin causes the target to be marginalized by the forces of fate.

In normal times, even the slightest sin would lead to constant targeting and eventual expulsion from the world.

But now that the world is entering its end times, people's study of taboos has become increasingly radical.

This is not because sin no longer exists, but because the side effects of sin have diminished.

Fate doesn't have much energy left to eliminate sins; it focuses more on continuing the world's future.

But it is precisely because of this that there is a sliver of a chance that Kru's plan could succeed.

Before the end times, anyone who becomes tainted by forbidden sins will be quickly targeted by fate.

This kind of targeting and exclusion creates a 'concentration effect of sin'.

Essentially, it's the same method the sun god used to deal with the broken numbers.

If we can't handle the problem immediately, we should gather all the surrounding problems together to better control it.

When a suitable opportunity arises, it will be resolved quickly.

This is why sins attract each other; once one delves into sin, one will accumulate countless sins.
