Many people had already fallen into a fervent prayer without needing any warnings, and it was clear without asking that a Priest of the Natural Deities must have seen this as an oracle from the Natural Deities.
There were certainly those who knew not repentance, and in the next second, they tasted the wrath of nature, ending up with the same fate as Meira's Followers.

After all, the Natural Deities truly exist in this world. The residents of the forests have, to varying degrees, a tendency towards this faith. Even those who don't believe maintain, at the very least, a sense of awe, which is the most correct law of survival.
Those who acted without restraint didn't even need to wait for the full fury of the King's Forest to erupt; they were already consumed.
