All the heavens began with Huo Yi

Borderland - Royal City of Rodel

"Why does that bitch Marika want to talk to me?" Suer walked slowly, having just been summoned by someone who said Marika needed him.

"coming?"

"You're here." Suer replied, looking at Marika lying on her side on the large stone bed. "The curtain is a bit revealing, aren't you going to pull it down?"

"Hehe, I don't care about these things. It's just a matter of appearances. Let people look if they want to," Marika said with a smile, but the way she pulled at her clothes made it seem like she was being insincere.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

“Help me play the good cop.” Marika got off the stone bed and came to Suer.

“Sure, no problem.” Suer looked up at Marika. “To be honest, you’re fine lying down. If you stand up, I can’t see your face at all.”

“You’ve never said that to that little girl Lani, have you? Come to think of it, she’s right next to you, and you can see her face even if you look up.” Marika took a few steps back; actually, she couldn’t see Suer’s face anymore after getting too close.

"When they come in, you'll teach them a lesson. Do you think you can torture people?"

When Suer heard Marika's question, his eyes widened. "You've come to the right person. I'm absolutely good at this."

Marika nodded. "That's good."

After saying this, Marika ordered her loyal followers to bring the person to her.

Looking at the finger-unraveling witch who had arrived, Sull probably knew what Marika was up to.

"Everyone, how long have you been loyal to Twofingers?"

"It has been over a hundred years, Queen Marika." One of the oldest women, with a face wrinkled like a mille-feuille and a short stature, stepped forward and answered Marika's question.

"Yes, how could ordinary people live so long? In the past, most people couldn't live that long, especially us shamans."

“Your Majesty, I am grateful for your grace,” the old woman said respectfully.

Marika smiled with satisfaction, glanced at Suer, and gave him a wink.

"Gadanmu!" Upon receiving a signal from Marika, Sur immediately shouted, "So you should believe in Queen Marika, shouldn't you? Two Fingers hasn't given you any benefits!"

It was she who gave you the opportunity to have enough to eat, the right to live, and the dignity to live.

“But it was through the guidance of two fingers and the blessing of supreme will that the Queen became a god,” the old woman retorted.

Suer chuckled, but his face remained expressionless. He walked up to the old woman, looked up at her with a pained expression, sighed, and then his eyes suddenly turned serious and ruthless: "Listen!"

There is no supreme will in heaven; there is only one person, and only one person who has been kind to you—Queen Marika. You should pledge your loyalty to her.

As Sul spoke, he glanced back at Marika, who gave him an approving look. Sul returned the look with a "I'm very professional" expression.

"Alright, you can make your first choice now: loyalty or the purple egg!"

"I don't understand, sir?" The old woman shook her head and looked at Suer.

"do not understand anything?"

"The supreme will exists among the great beings, and even the queen cannot change this fact."

"I believe in and am loyal to the Father who created this world and the Mother who gave us life," the old woman said. "Why should we abandon this faith? I don't think it's a sin."

“No, it is now!” After saying that, Su Er ignored the old woman and looked at the other unravelers. “What about you? Are there any of you like her? If so, step forward.”

After Su Er finished speaking, most of the people stood up and stood on the same line as the old woman. Only a few young girls, who looked to be only teenagers and had just become nuns, stood in fear and did not move.

"There can't be two suns in the sky, everyone. I'm so sorry." Su'er said, and then used the Heart-Piercing Bone-Cutting Technique on all the finger-dismembering people who were with the old woman.

Hearing the agonizing cries of these resolute two-fingered lackeys, Marika smiled.

"Second time, loyalty? Or death?" Sul stopped the Cruciatus Curse.

After the second round of questioning, several more young men trembled as they got up and obediently chose loyalty.

"Very good! Then let's continue." Suer once again used the Heart-Rending Bone-Cutting Technique on those stubborn fingers.

This ordeal was extremely long, lasting a full five minutes, which meant they all possessed the blessing of gold; otherwise, they would have already died.

However, even though these liberators possessed the blessing, after Sul stopped the Cruciatus Curse, several of them began to go insane.

"One last time, you have one minute... 7, 6... Time's almost up! 3, 2, Avadakendawa!"

A flash of green light, and the witches who chose to follow the supreme will and the two fingers died, dying under the blessing, because without their souls, they could not even return to the tree.

“Very well, then, are you willing to swear allegiance to Queen Marika?” Sull asked, looking at the remaining witches.

Silence, a long silence, but finally a girl stepped forward and said: "I am willing to pledge my allegiance to Queen Marika."

With someone taking the lead, the remaining surviving members of the Jiezhi sect also echoed and pledged their loyalty.

"Good boy, what's your name?"

After Suhr finished playing the white-faced role, it was naturally time for Marika, who was playing the red-faced role, to take the stage.

“Enya, Your Majesty,” the little girl said in a trembling voice.

“Oh, what a lovely name. You must be a studious and intelligent girl. From now on, the translation of the Great Blessed Two-Finger Lord will be entrusted to you.” Marika helped Enya up. “Kind Two-Finger Lord, he will surely understand us. May the Supreme Will be with us.”

"May the Supreme Will be with us," Enya said to Marika. She was just a finger-unraveling apprentice and didn't fully understand the special 'language' of the two fingers.

However, this doesn't mean she's stupid. On the contrary, she's very smart. In fact, everyone can see that Marika was the mastermind behind this incident, and she should start interpreting the meaning of the two fingers more selectively from now on.

After Marika had appeased each of the finger-unbound witches, she ordered the corpses of those who refused to submit to the king to be thrown out.

"You worked very hard this time, not bad." Marika looked at Sull and said, "I thought you would get away with it, after all, one of the Great Runes that Radagan gave out wasn't absorbed, was it Lani?"

“Solving the two-finger problem is the best thing that could happen to you, to me, to Lani, and to the entire border region,” Suer replied. “As for the Great Runes, as you said, you are their master, and you should know that very well.”

It's not a good thing for a divine being to absorb the illusions of other people's laws, is it?

Marika laughed when she heard what Suer said. "Hmm... He's all talk and no action. It's not surprising that he does something he thinks is good, but in reality, it's harming the people he loves."

Oh, by the way, my child is due soon, and there will be a grand celebration. This celebration will probably be the last time the arena is used.
