At the Great Council, the Emperor, under the guise of God's name, proclaimed that a miracle had manifested within him. At that moment, Eden was so furious that he went up and slapped him.
Logically, this old man, Eden should have slapped him as well.
But the old man's words were so shocking that they made Eden forget his anger, and he stood dumbfounded in his place.
The Priest's words continued,
"In this world,
under this sky, over these oceans, across this land, there is a new God, whom you shall worship!"
As his words finished, a simultaneous prayer burst from the crowd, they repeated the last sentence,
"You shall worship!"
Then, people prostrated their heads to the ground one after another, only Eden remained standing straight.
When Eden came to his senses, he did not bow his head either; he just stared straight at the Priest.
The latter was also gazing at him.
That questioning gaze seemed to ask, why do you not worship.
