Chapter 770: Vol V Chapter 130

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There was a traditional Chinese saying that went as such: the impact of one rock may cause a thousand waves. This was a good idiomatic phrase to describe the impact of Mifata’s order now.

All permanent residents who had been citizens for over ten years and who were literate could head to the government affair’s office to register their surname.

Once this order had been passed down, the entire Federation erupted in chaos.

Unlike the Republic of Northwest, the Commonwealth of Gold Coins and the Dhaka Commercial Association, Mifata was a country with a large majority of aristocrats. Although they were labeled as a country of mages, in reality, the country was mostly led by landlords.

It was simply a coincidence that most of the landlords were mages.

In Mifata, the aristocrats were high up on the social ladder, much higher than the commoners.

The reality was that many mid to high-level mages began to have aristocratic status families as they controlled large amounts of resources. The number of families that directly produced skilled mages was decreasing. One could say that Mifata had almost completely transformed from a purely mage-based country to one of aristocrats.

The aristocrats were extremely touchy about honor, and this new order destroyed their claim to glory. Thus, it was natural that they would oppose the order.

However... the legendary mages were extremely steadfast in their attitude towards the order.

They would not allow anyone to go against them!

With that, everyone went their own ways and proceeded to enforce strict rules upon their lands. If there was anyone who went against them, they would be executed without a chance for a trial.

Within five days, they had executed close to 200 aristocrats, which included two respected earls. There were several other troops and knights who were killed as well. One serious incident included when the trial mages killed a hundred-odd people in one go, and their fresh blood, when pooled together, was enough to form a tiny river.

With such a cruel method, those of dissent quickly quietened down. There was no one who wanted to risk death by voicing their displeasure, not even those who were usually reckless and vocal. On the other hand, the commoners were extremely welcoming of this rule and happily headed to their various governmental offices to register their surname.

When the news traveled to the Commonwealth, the aristocratic leaders were extremely disturbed and shocked.

“How... can this be allowed!? Have the mages gone crazy?” one of the earls yelled.

“They’re destroying the foundations of our aristocratic order! Do they not know that the aristocrats are the ones helping with the leadership of the country, not the commoners who do almost nothing?” another earl spoke up in frustration.

Marquis Gordon was silent for a while before saying, “What I’m confused about is why the mages who were in charge chose such a cruel and vicious method. They could have used a less violent method to settle the issue. I don’t think it would have been less effective as the people would not really dare to fight the legendary mages in Mifata.”

The aristocrats nodded their agreement.

Why, then, did the mages choose such a beastly method and take the risk to anger all aristocrats?

The answer was quickly revealed.

The Mifata Federation proceeded to officially label the Church of God of Aristocracy as an illegal organization, and those who joined would be seen as traitors to the country. They announced the annihilation of the domestic aristocratic church in the near future.

This news was astounding. To officially disregard a true church, especially a famous and leading one.... Well, this had never happened before.

The most similar historical events also had only happened in the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom.

In the Orc Empire, the Church of Human Gods and especially the Church of the God of Knights, were banned. In the Eagle Kingdom, various Orc gods’ churches were banned as well. Such an attitude was similar to Mifata’s attitude now towards the aristocratic church where whoever dared to continue following the church was seen as a betrayer to the country.

This was due to the world war between Orcs and humans. The Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom were also enemies, and their hatred levels were higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. It was only under such circumstances that such policies had been made. One had to understand that in the Orc Empire, in extremely rural areas in the west, actual control over faith was loose. Inside the western capital of Iron City, there were temples for the Church of Human Gods. Of course, there were also those of the Church of the God of Knights despite the law.

However, Mifata’s circumstances were different as they were a human-based country! Although the country was multi-religious, they were still human-based, nevertheless. How could a human-based country dismiss a faith that affirmed a human-based god? Nevertheless, the legendary mages were firm in their plans, and in a mere three days, 18 of them joined forces to arrive at Golden Tower City. They did not use threats or start a war but instead used their joint magic to activate a large scale legendary spell to kill the entire city, which included both the aristocratic church’s commoners and faithful aristocrats who had gathered. Among those who had been persecuted included the aristocratic archbishop.

When the news had spread, even Sui Xiong was flabbergasted.

What are these people thinking!? Even if they wanted to dismiss the church, there was no need to kill the entire city!? The death count is up to ten of thousands of people!

This viciousness was seen as being mad, but it was also extremely powerful in deterrence. Mifata started persecuting all aristocratic church followers with soldiers under the mages’ leadership. They carried out patrols, and anyone who refused to publicly convert, be it men or women, young or old, were immediately killed on the spot. In the depths of the God of Humans’ kingdom, the God of Aristocracy had been sitting in the black water pool with his body wrapped tightly in ice. His face suddenly changed, and he vomited a large pool of blood.

“What’s wrong? If you can’t take it, come out quickly!” the God of Diplomacy exclaimed worriedly.

In a flash, the God of Aristocracy left the pool and appeared beside the God of Diplomacy. At this point, their face was pale, and their body was weak and shaking as if they could fall anytime. However, the God of Aristocracy’s eyes were bright and full of confidence and... joy.

Joy!?

The God of Diplomacy was confused as he could not understand how one could feel joy in such a severe situation. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I cannot believe that the opportunity I was looking for came in this form,” the God of Aristocracy replied.

“What?”

The God of Aristocracy did not reply; they only sighed.

Their robes were slipping, and their face was filled with numerous cracks like a shattered porcelain piece.

However, quickly, brilliant gold light began to emit from these cracks, and they appeared like a golden sun. At the same time, in all the thousands of worlds, all the gods and demigods that were powerful enough clearly felt the concept of aristocrats grow powerful.

“The basis of aristocracy is the continuity of leadership. Those who are aristocrats by blood are meant to continue in leadership positions for generations without ever letting up! The younger generations serve as lords and end up being kings. All the ways of ruling in history are with the concept of nobles and aristocrats in mind. This is the most stable and reliable way of ruling, and even if there are occasional setbacks and people who deny us of it, history will sweep them away eventually without question.

“I am the God of Aristocracy, I am the protector of true leadership, I am the one who maintains order. This is the biggest proof of me to the world!”

In the temple, the God of Aristocracy disappeared along with their seat and shifted a level forward from being a mid-level god into a god with great Divine Power.
