Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 377 fight me

It was insinuated by the worship both the Yuki and the lizards displayed when they spoke about king Yunan and how he was truly a god in mortal skin, that and the fact that Yunan got away scot-free from smiting down a worshiper of an established justice god.

Even if the worshiper was falsely claiming his faith in order for some scheme or hidden gain, Yunan did not seem to care much about the ascended or their existence, in fact, it was as if the man had already defeated some of them and to him, godly power was no longer a deterrent.

The church of the godly king was almost a secret society, birthing new religions in Burkan was a very risky business, risking elimination from all faction, good, evil or neutral, the worst part was that king Yunan had only acted so few times publically that, the church had only three things to name as their own holy commandments.

One must stand up for those who they associate with against any odds, evident when he burnt a federation to bring back the tranquillity back to the sun islands where his wife was from, or the latest incident with the awakened.

One must preserve and improve the lives of those around him, evident by how he treated the twilight pearl, he did not change it to fit his vision, he only added to the lifestyle and laws of the kingdom, giving the kingdom an army as well as introduce two awakened tribes to ensure even more progress.

One must be gentle and righteous when in peace and vengeful when in war, evident in how he handled the underground world as well as the pirates threatening the kingdom, or his unassuming way of living in the kingdom, it never felt like Yunan was king when he walked with his family in the streets as they took the occasional stroll in the capital of the pearl.

It was therefore hard to form a religion around the god-king, he was so ungodly and so unkingly most of the time, only when he was met with adversity did he show what it meant to be majestic. This religion spread very fast among the locals and then among the merchants and from then on among the small folk, it was a very soft religion, more like a way of life than anything, even the church of light encountered believers among their charges.

When news of this reached Yunan he held an address to the nation and the world by proxy, since the issue under discussion was a new religion, the theist community flocked to the twilight pearl with prominent figures and bishops making debates and demanding the dissolution of this new plague of the believers.

The result of the awaited address greatly angered half the religious world and flabbergasted the other half, it was by no means what would be expected from a guy like him at all, he has been sensible in all public matters before, this was simply atrocious to those who pegged their hopes and wishes on his usual wisdom.

The address was held just outside the bright palace, Yunan simply walked outside and used the prepared podium to make his speech, his voice was broadcasted to the millions who occupied the empty space between the palace and the city as well as the billion who cared about this matter across the world.

"Hello, we are Yunan, the current king of the twilight pearl and today we claim our place and title as god-king Yunan the wise prowler" taking a moment to enjoy the speechlessness of the crowd, the awe and then the changing of the faces as the words sank, changing his tone continued speaking casually.

"You see, I like the title god-king, it is not a falsehood since I already do have a few hundred divinity shards and some control over the power of faith, so having a religion is not something I will reject, even if I had no plans for it before, it is not in me to waste, therefore, I hereby announce that for all those who wish to worship me and have faith in me, you can freely do so, any persecution will be met with the same, also my religion is going to be even simpler than it already is".

Not waiting for the world to even believe their own ears, Yunan kept talking "well, to worship me, is your own choice, I won't reward or punish, I won't interfere at all, the only rules in my religion are three, be good to those who are good to you, return grievances and finally, work as hard as you can to become better, that is all. Oh and for those who think this is a joke, intended to ask their gods for aid or simply think they can use violence, my only answer is, fight me".

"The loaded atmosphere immediately exploded with popes and bishops summoning their gods, worshipers cursing and damning Yunan, others losing all semblance of intelligence and declare a holy crusade. Anger, fear, zealousness, piety, and more emotions all exploded into the world and Yunan just absorbed it all like a sponge, even the Dreamscape started boiling and roiling even worse than the last time it needed cleaning, as the avatar of the all, Apophis was looking younger by the second.

Chaos erupted all over the continent of Burkan, that "fight me" was the straw that broke the camels back, most religious representatives were ready for the god-king religion to take a foothold in the twilight pearl, it was after all predicted by the gods that Yunan would not waste such an abundant resource willingly delivered to him. But the blatant disregard was not something acceptable.
