Flarnept Crumb 92 (art ver.): The ancient god demanded 101 human sacrifices among the villagers so as to spare the rest. They refused to comply and fought instead, for they knew the god was weak and senile. They were only 25 in total—he couldn't even count.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one is myth rewritten as farce, where the sacred collapses under its own senility and bad math.

“The ancient god demanded 101 human sacrifices...”
We expect thunder. Blood. Fear. Tradition obeyed.
But then—
“They were only 25 in total—he couldn’t even count.”
That’s the twist. That’s the laugh that burns down the temple.
It’s not rebellion out of courage—it’s rebellion out of bureaucratic contradiction.
The god is no longer feared. He’s pitied.
And the villagers? They fight not because they’re righteous, but because the god embarrassed himself.
This is high absurdity with divine stakes.
The age of gods is over—not with a war, but with a facepalm.

Flarnept to the bone:
Sacrifice denied not by nobility, but by simple arithmetic.

Bada boom.
