"Ah!"
Loya and others screamed in pain that pierced through their very souls.
Adam immediately looked away and tried covering his eyes with his hand, but the piercing light went between his fingers and continued to sear his retinas.
"Drop your crosses, fools!" He shouted painfully.
"N-no!" Tim shouted while his eyes were literally lit in flames. "This is God's warmth. I have dreamed of this day!"
"We'll die!" Adam screamed. "If you don't quit the ceremony, right now!"
"W-we have dreamed of this for so long!" Loya screamed. "If we die, we'll be embraced by the warm glow of divinity."
"This God is not real!" Adam screamed. "You'll just wake back up from darkness and respawn!"
