The Godslayer Comes from the Scorched Earth

The gods sit in the clouds, the church borrows divine oracles, and the kingdom rots in silence. Carlisle Sacro, son of the oldest noble family in Maple Leaf City, lost everything overnight. His father died in battle at the bottom of a well, his mother's whereabouts unknown, and his home was taken by the church. The cause was simply that his sister possessed a talent, and the Holy See wanted her. He knelt before his father's grave and said only one thing in his heart: I will make them pay. He killed innocent people, betrayed allies, and locked his conscience in an iron cabinet. He became the kind of person he hated most. But he was still not alone. He was incredibly lucky. He could still find himself. His enemies went from bishop to inquisitorial court to cardinal college, and finally about to become—the one sitting on the throne of the highest heaven. When he looked back, what he saw was not the blood of his enemies, but millions of people suffering like his sister, millions kneeling at the feet of idols, bearing hardship as if it were divine will. At that moment he understood. Killing a god is easy. Making millions no longer need gods is hard. He turned around and faced the entire continent: "From now on, you do not need to kneel. Because God is already dead." — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Godslayer Comes from the Scorched Earth — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
