The God Warriors Read Online Free PDF Page A

I agree, I'm going in with eyes wide open.
    [There are a set of what we call laws in place for everyone, both gods and beings. Put in place by the original entity is the current thinking amongst us. What we do know is that somehow we know them as we need to know them and occasionally a new law comes into being. As an example, when Jesus was born, human sacrifice in the name of a god stopped. Any god who transgressed by cajoling or demanding his followers sacrifice a sentient simply ceased to exist. Therefore, gods would leave their followers if those same followers continued the practice. If you know the history of your own world, you should know that after the birth of Jesus, any group that continued the practice disappeared or were conquered shortly thereafter. We gods believe that, for whatever reasons, the original entity changed his mind about human sacrifice and reintroduced himself as Christ.]
    I see. Keep going, but you will explain all these laws sooner or later, correct?
    [Yes, as soon as it is not too busy for you, where you are to go if you agree. Now, in this instance, I need a champion that is a master tactician, strategist, and one who is capable of adapting instantly and one who is adept at thinking outside the box, as you humans say. My champion needs to be a superior fighter and one versed in medieval warfare and weapons. My champion also needs to be a superior swordsman. The decades you spent in martial arts training will be indispensible where you will go if you agree. I will be honest that my mother found you for me. She is much more powerful and was able to sift through memories faster. I needed to find a suitable soul that was readily available in the time constraint we find ourselves.]
    I understand my qualifications. Now, the mission, please, so I can make the decision you need before time runs out.
    Another soft laugh from the god, then, [The world is called Corvalis. It resides in a different dimension, one that permits the use of magic. In the very near future, a soldier there will have his soul stripped from his mortal shell by an enemy wizard, leaving the shell vacant. I would put you in that shell. The body you would occupy is that of a guard captain in a large nation state. Your first task will be the protection of the princesses of their king from the assassins sent to take their lives. Your second task involves reuniting the countries of the Alliance and others to stand against those of the Devourer. I do not know if you will succeed, but my mother hopes and feels you will do so.]
    Whoa, explain this Devourer.
    [As there appears to be one supreme god of creation as you call him or her, there is also one supreme being of entropy. You might call it evil, but that would be incorrect. Let us say a being of emptiness that desires emptiness everywhere. This entity destroys not only all life on a planet, but even the capability to sustain life in the future. It is uncaring in the extreme. I and the other gods of this world do not want our followers destroyed or the world turned into a cinder. It would be your job to stop that destruction by stopping the evil forces spreading outward. Those forces would extinguish all life on the planet but their own, and, as is usually the case, commit mass suicide, leaving the planet barren. At that time, the Devourer destroys the world itself. In fact, in many cases we have witnessed, the destruction happens as dark forces spread outward.]
    So, why don't you fight this Devourer?
    [We would if we could, John. However, we cannot. The gods of Order and Chaos are equal as far as overall strength is concerned. The gods of Chaos are on the side of the Devourer, and for some reason, there appears to be a law in place that prevents the Devourer from attacking the gods of Order. Therefore, it simply ignores us. It is a constant battle between good and evil, for lack of a better phrase, and we are not exactly winning.]
    Why doesn't The God step in, then?
    [Because there is
