Chapter 74 We Will Never Find God
Tertullian was awakened by the frantic sound of the Logos' horns.

He opened his eyes, feeling the uneasiness in his heart so intensely that he had never felt before, and suddenly got up from the ground, Tertullian rushed to the deck.

There is only the endless sea in front of you.

The underwater sea was deep and dark, and the narwhals who were supposed to be escorting went nowhere.

Tertullian turned his head hastily and looked behind him.

He stayed where he was.

None of the remaining 59 galleys followed.

On the vast sea, there is only one galley like them.

"Dertullian! What shall we do?"

Seeing Tertullian come on deck, the Logos surrounded him in a panic, and begged the leader of the fleet for help.

Tertullian froze on the spot, fear crowded his chest, made his breathing stagnate, his mind was empty, and the closer people approached him, the more he retreated.

It was not until his back touched the wall that there was no way to retreat that Tertullian finally recovered.

Looking at the dozens of panic-stricken Logosians in front of him, Tertullian's hands trembled, and he said after a long time:

"Row to the nearest land, we will definitely find land, God bless us."

After speaking, Tertullian suppressed all panic, tried hard to restore his usual appearance, and continued:

"God will not abandon us. We are the children of God. This is just a small tribulation. Are you going to shrink back?"

Perhaps it was Tertullian's firmness that infected everyone, and the Logos people suppressed their anxiety and slowly retreated to their original positions.

The Logosians who climbed up from below the deck re-entered the cabin, and they rowed forward with all their strength, and the sea wind fully stretched the sails.

Tertullian brought Antinon over.

"Dertullian...this is the torment the gods will give us."

Antinon looked around at the endless sea, and fell to the ground in despair.

There was nothing on the sea in front of them. They didn't know which sea area they had entered, and they were completely lost. Even experienced sailors would feel desperate in the face of such a situation.

Among the sixty galleys, ten were specially loaded with food, and the food stored in the ship was so small that it could barely meet the needs of two days. Now, their galley was separated from the entire fleet.

If they can't find land, then they are no different from dead.

Antinon slammed his fist on the deck, he jumped up and said angrily to Deltullian:
"Then do as I say! Tertullian! Now it's all ruined, it's all over! We're going to die here..."

At the end, Antinon's legs trembled in despair, and then he knelt down on the deck.

Tertullian said nothing, and endured Antinonon's hurtful words.

Now it's done, no matter what you do or say, you can't save this predicament.

The terrible encounter at the moment seems to be caused by his unwillingness to pretend to convert to the gods.

Tertullian clenched his hands tightly.

but…

Why do these gods decide the fate of the world so naturally?

Tertullian didn't understand, he slowly let go of his hands and pressed them against the cabin wall.

"Live on this sea until you find land."

"us……"

"It can only be this way."

Antinon raised his head noncommittally, staring blankly at the ceiling.

...........................

Tertullian acted quickly. He immediately rushed to the cabin where the food was stored, kept the food in the cabin under strict supervision, and reduced the daily ration of each person.

At the same time, Deltullian also took care of the only fresh water left on the ship. He organized manpower and rebuilt the filter device on the ship to barely filter the sea water into fresh water.

The prophet's second son is doing everything he can to save everyone on board.

only…

Not everyone has a strong will.

When the third day came, the Logos broke down.

Under the torment of hunger and despair, the man went mad and yelled frantically on the deck, saying that God will save us for a while, and saying that God will not save us for a while. He stood on the mast and chanted "King After speaking with the Prophets, he jumped into the sea.

Tertullian attempted to rescue the man from the sea, but the man swam desperately overboard, until at last he sank into the sea and disappeared from sight.

The one who jumped was extremely hungry.

Once a suicidal person appears, it inevitably casts a shadow over others.

Despite Tertullian's best efforts to reassure and unite the crowd, these struggles were futile in the face of real fear.

Everyone's spirit is suffering.

Pushed by the gods, the galley sank gradually into the abyss of despair.

It's time to night.

Tertullian's face was pressed against the bones of his face, and the food on board was running low, so he had to ask the cook to remove some planks, break the wood into pieces, and throw them into the pot to boil.

Standing on deck with other strong-willed Logosians, he prevents desperate men from jumping into the sea and committing suicide.

Suddenly, a black figure rushed out from the cabin, and was about to jump onto the mast and jump into the sea. Tertullian looked over, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he pulled the man back.

In the darkness, Tertullian could barely see the man's face.

It was Antinon.

The young priest's hair was messy and smelly, his whole body was in a daze, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes.

"Dertullian... why are you stopping me?!"

"...I have tried to make promises to the gods these days, and swear to the gods to believe in them...

However, Nakagaus rejected us. He said that only by dying can we see the true faith. "

Antinon's voice was hoarse, and he asked Tertullian almost in a growl:

"I said a long time ago that the gods will send tribulations... As long as, as long as we pretend to convert, we will be safe and sound, and we don't have to suffer such torture!"

"You know, Tertullian, we have nothing to lose!"

"Now...it's all over, there's no chance...we're going to die..."

Antinon insulted Tertullian, who remained silent, holding Antinon tightly to prevent him from ending his life like this.

At the end of the scolding, Antinon finally stopped, and he knelt on the ground, weeping silently in a mental breakdown.

Seeing him calm down, Tertullian finally let him go.

After a while, Antinon raised his head and murmured:
"We Logos...how prone to fear...Do you know where the source lies, Tertullian."

Before Tertullian could give a reply, Antinon spoke first:

"reason,
Just because of reason...we have God-given reason, so we fear death even more.

We try our best to survive in this miserable environment. If we were beasts, we would have given up everything, but we have reason and have to struggle painfully.

But all this is of no avail, the gods will push us step by step into despair, and the rational Logos will not be able to grasp even a sliver of life. "

"Dertullian..."

"We will never find God..."
