Today is Sunday...The temple opens its doors.

Kobolds are lined up on both sides of the central aisle. The interior resembles a gothic cathedral but with unusually high dimensions, and in place of the altar there was a finely carved double door representing a hydra.

Dwarves who had come in a delegation had brought offerings on wagons...

The chancellor and General Mondeville were amazed... There was a subway! A subway under the temple, connected to the Dwarf fortress further east and north...

The car appeared through a door and moved towards the altar/black door which opened, revealing absolute darkness...

For the first time, I was human and dressed in worship clothes, in white.

I climbed up to a promontory from where I could see the room.

There were many humans, some dwarves and a few Kobolds. Waspy was there but she was...shitting herself.... The young humans too... they came more out of curiosity. But I kept smiling...

I had the memory of boring masses and all the blabla that was repeated from year to year, t the well-honed hypocrisy but people needed reference points..

"Ladies and gentlemen....The children, and our Kobold and Dwarf friends" and I turned to Waspy who was playing with a rubber band...which ended up hitting him hard on the nose..

I made appear on a giant screen the image of the orbital ship, armed with 2 dragon heads.

It was huge. Maybe 4 kilometers in diameter...

"Once again, I welcome you here to your world...

Yes, this world.... This world was ours and it still is but...we need to make it known.....

If some people don't know it yet... A gamma ray wave hit our world and ...it should have looked like Mars. but you see elves, fairies, gnomes and all kinds of bugs that didn't exist before...

All this was planned...by Tyrant and his Ummite clique. They are "angels" or "elohims" who came straight out of the thigh of Jupiter....

Don't worry... They bleed.... so they can die...

But first let's honor our loved ones and deceased by the ancient religions...

A hubbub arose in the temple.

Accessories related to the different cults were visible, such as a tabernacle, baptismal fonts and also prayer mats.

With a wave of my hand, I summoned the human representatives of the disappeared cults.

"This temple is at your disposal but you should also know that the temple has other functions as well...

The panels rose and a military command center appeared with screens worthy of the movie wargames.

"The temple is the ultimate place of protection.... Its structure is armored, resists to cataclysms and has 2 towers. One of the towers is called the hydra's claw.

A video presentation then showed the frightening power of destruction of the thermal laser.

Then we passed on the main tower... It was a silo of launching of a nuclear warhead

Then the panels slid down and the temple became normal again.

General Mondeville then asked to have the floor.

"Yes, General..."

"What is this temple, a launching pad? And who controls it? Kabal??"

Then he sat down, waiting for an answer.

"But it's the chancellor who has the village and the command... kind of like the president who has his suitcase, except that here we only have one shot... It is a weapon of deterrence... Our "neighbors" who came knocking on our door two days ago have not yet attacked you... They fear us."

Professor Volcor : "Professor Reinhardt. I am in awe of all these wonders and how you have managed to handle a desperate situation...but how did a war start? "

Me: "It is a clash of worlds. The old one, ours, against theirs... every war starts with resources and territories but also with religions. These hellish, human-like creatures... are Tyrant's hosts and subjects.. and their very existence prevents our souls from finding the rest they deserve.. In short, we cannot be reincarnated because of their monstrous rock protected by the shuttle."

This came as a shock to the humans.

"But if you have children. It is thanks to the obliteration of these creatures... But they have the annoying habit of coming back the next day or the day after... We can kill them 10 times, 100 times, a thousand times... they come back by their magic... at the expense of our earthly souls. We are the true owners of this world that is stolen from us..."

There was an uproar in the room.

Half an hour later... calm returned.

"You wonder how to kill them permanently...?

This is where the cult of the hydra comes in... Our mother to all and creator of the human species. This was also described in the Sumerian texts, except that our mother here, was not degraded into Tiamat, infernal archduchess but she is indeed a deity, here with us and alive.

Our Kobold friends, are one of her graces and she also gives us the grace to revive our departed in Kobold and make them come back among us..."

Volcor: "But what does that have to do with anything? You mix science and magic with worship?

I clapped my hands and had plastic tarps pulled to protect the humans...

"I will ask the children to leave and the sensitive souls to leave the room. Those who fear they will not be able to sleep, I will ask them to leave as well."

Some people went out.

Waspy wanted to leave.

"Waspy, you stay..."

She was sitting next to Monty and Raven and they saw her crying for the first time. She had even urinated on the marble floor.

Waspy: "No... not Enka.... not Enka..."

The wagon moved slowly and the tarpaulin fell down. There were cows, sheep and also a huge cake and a lot of fruits but also weapons, gold, and jewels.

The wagon moved forward inch by inch towards the door, which slowly opened.

On the other side, the darkness.

I went down the steps and preceded the wagon loaded with offerings.

The next moment I jumped into the black void.

A huge rush of air was created and a shield was put in place.

I had disappeared and, in front of me... a black hole.

A black tower... the star... in all its grandeur, in all its horror.

I was a hydra...and I let out a shrill electromagnetic scream.

The energy caused the lights in the room to flicker and even the daylight through the stained glass window.

In the background, humans could see the stars at the bottom of the hole and then the stars disappearing to reveal only darkness to darkness.

Curiosity gave way to anxiety and anxiety gave way to fear...

The wagon was now back. The animals were bellowing...

Then, suddenly they saw claws take the whole wagon. the train wagon was in my palm but they only saw the claw grabbing the wagon. then, incomprehensible sounds,.. growls and snaps... of the draconic.

Then a magnification spell and the animals were hurled towards the Destroyer.

Its cosmic jaws slammed so hard that an enlarged piece of beef exploded in the direction of the entrance and a fine rain of blood erupted from the closing line of the two bronze doors.

The whole temple shook... no... the whole village....

A few minutes later, I walked out, pushing the two giant doors back in and apologized to my guests. The Kobolds had rags and scrapers and cleaned up the mess.

As I walked away. Tomorrow we visit my base and I introduce you to our children..."

Everyone came out like a roller coaster... The head turned over...

Then a woman came out disheveled screaming "ARRGHHHH We're all going to die!!!!!!"

Panic spread to many people.

Some went to take refuge in a tank, others at the bottom of the cellar...

Bello: "I understand now the terror of the dwarves....The hydra..did you see it like me?"

Sarah: "I just saw a claw and then all that blood...."

Bello: "We have to know for sure... I have to know."

General Mondeville grabbed her arm.

"John...it was a black hole!"

Volkor: "Indeed... It was a rupture in space-time. There was a portal.... On the other side...a black hole and a claw. Probably a creature. Then he looked at the statue of the hydra.

It is the same claw!. It must be almost 100 meters long... considering the size compared to the wagon.."
