Chapter 1016: No Contrast, No Harm
The other is to deliberately create a distinction between reality and the second world.
After all, there is still a distinction between the two.
The real world is the basis for the existence of the second world, and if the real world ceases to exist, the second world naturally ceases to exist.
The meaning of the existence of the second world is to better build and develop the real world, and at the same time serve as a buffer battlefield between reality and the shadow plane.
And not a haven for people to escape from reality.
In many parts of the Second World, Sean has made it look like a game, which is much more brutal than a game in nature.
The real world now has a second world as a buffer, and death doesn't have to be real death.
To die in the second world is to die out completely.
As the war with the Shadow Plane continues to escalate, and the enemies they face become more and more powerful, the law of security in the second world is no longer absolutely safe.
Not to mention the Shadow Masters, even some shadow monsters that have touched the law level may directly wipe out the Heroic Spirit Warriors before the second world security laws take effect.
The escalating war with the Shadow Plane is mainly caused by two main factors.
One is that the energy transmitted by the Abigail position to the Ashane plane is not pure, it has been eroded by shadow energy for many years, and even the goddess Abigail cannot completely purify and separate it, and in the process of transportation, it is naturally coerced together.
Moreover, it is difficult for the two planes to complete the complete docking in the true sense.
Energy leaving the Abigail plane and entering the Ashane plane must flow through the shadow plane.
Even if the distance is short, it must flow through.
This is determined by the relationship between the planes.
Countless shadow creatures are surrounding the plane of Ashan, and there is no way to enter!
Now suddenly a stream of energy that runs through the interior appears in front of them, and this is no longer a window for them, but a fast lane, inviting them to enter the plane of Ashane as guests.
Even if this fast lane is full of unknown dangers, if you are not careful, some weak shadow monsters will be completely torn apart by the energy flow and become a member of the energy flow.
The shadow monsters were still digging into it.
If they have the ability to judge the situation, they are not shadow monsters.
It has been said before.
The Ashane World Tree has a very strong fusion and the ability to absorb negative energy, but in terms of digestion, it is not as good as it.
After the negative energy is absorbed, it is stored in one's body.
In a short period of time, a small amount of negative energy does not have a particularly large impact on it, and after a long time, there will definitely be problems.
In this regard, Sean has accumulated enough combat experience in the Abigail plane.
The establishment of a second world on the Ashane World Tree is not a matter of unilateral demand, but of mutual benefit.
The Heroic Soldiers of the Second World are scraping the bones and healing the bones of the Ashane World Tree every day, eliminating the tumor energy from the shadow plane and the hell plane.
Another channel through which the forces of the Shadow Plane invaded the Plane of Ashane was Hel, the Shadow Master Mother that Shaun and the others had been dealing with quickly.
Sean joined forces with the goddess Abigail to seal the spatial rift it had planned, after the arm that the demons had just tried to reach in was severed.
Shadow Mother Hel was visibly aware that the situation was extremely unfavorable for her.
He has been completely exposed to the sight of the goddess Sean and Abigail, and they will inevitably try their best to get rid of themselves in order to prevent future troubles.
The rocker that made himself strong and was able to invade the Ashane plane one step ahead of other shadow lords has now become his biggest shackle, and he can't escape if he wants to let go.
The only thing Hel can do is to hasten the erosion of the plane of Ashan.
Hel, the Shadow Master, had to give up her selfish idea of monopolizing the Ashane plane, and opened the Floating City, a shortcut to the Ashan's plane, to the other Shadow Masters.
The Shadow Masters who are now entrenched in the floating city of Bresan are no longer one, but five.
This made Sean and their revenge plan to eradicate the root cause of the trouble, and they had to press the pause button.
A shadow matriarch.
With their full preparation and the help of Goddess Abigail, they still have more than 80% of the chance of winning.
Even if there is a situation that gets out of control, it will be within the limits of what they can bear.
Five shadow matrimonies gathered.
It's far beyond Sean's ability, there are too many uncontrollable factors in it, and if you're not careful, you'll get away with it.
When the time comes, it will not be to close the door and beat the dog, but to lure the wolf into the house, and as soon as it is released, it will be a group.
The Eternal Night Commander's Traction Magic Array, which had been carefully researched for many years and was prepared to be used to lead the Floating City into the Ashane plane, was reversed by them and became a Dimensional Reinforcement Magic Array, which was specially used to lock the Floating City of Bresan and seal the space around it, preventing the Shadow Masters from reaching into the Ashane plane as much as possible.
But the power of the five Shadow Masters joining forces is not comparable to that of a single Shadow Lord.
Nightmare invasion.
It's no longer a secret.
It is a series of events on the whole continent and even the whole world.
In this series of events, the difficulty of shadows is vividly displayed.
The twisted nightmares that were sent into the plane of Ashan, both strong and weak, showed great secrecy.
Day and night, in the dreams of countless creatures, in and out.
With their intervention, even a sweet dream can turn into a nightmare.
Not to mention, those dreams that were nightmares in themselves have become a paradise for these twisted nightmares.
Those nightmares tend to become stranger and more vivid, even if the intelligent beings are awake, those weird nightmares and dreams will not be forgotten, lingering in their minds, and even overlapping with reality.
Until they are tormented and mad, unable to distinguish the difference between reality and nightmares, and become toys and puppets in the hands of twisted nightmares.
That's what the Twisted Nightmares do best.
Not to mention in the early stage, it is difficult for ordinary people to find them, and even if they do, they are often helpless against this invisible enemy and sit still.
If it is discovered late, it is often the case that a manor, or even a village, is manipulated and manipulated into a ghost by a twisted nightmare.
No matter how weak the Twisted Nightmare that was sent in by the Shadow Master, absorbed so much negative energy, and distorted so many souls, it usually became very powerful, and the twisted slaves were hordes and very tricky to deal with.
The solution that the various forces can think of is to gather professionals in their territories and set up special departments to take charge of such related affairs.
The real difficulty in dealing with such enemies is how to find them and identify ordinary people who have been manipulated and twisted by them.
The Nightmare Invasion as a whole was a catastrophic invasion time.
However, the development of religious beliefs on the continent of Ashane has played an unexpected role in promoting it, especially the Eternal Night Commander.
Compared to those who do not have faith, when the soul of those who have faith is manipulated and invaded, it will be the first to be transmitted to the existence they believe in through the thread of faith.
Sean can react as soon as possible according to their condition, either by strengthening their soul protection through the soul thread, or by notifying the relevant departments and sending professionals to help them deal with these things that they can't solve.
When faith is no longer ethereal, but substantive, visible, tangible, and closely related to their lives, the speed of faith transmission will be further accelerated.
It also means that the enemy of the Holy See is becoming more and more difficult.
Just like Sean predicted at the beginning, the war pattern on the Ashane continent has changed unconsciously.
It is no longer a simple territory and resources, and the battle of faith has become a top priority.
Even if a piece of land is forcibly occupied by force, the people of this land are all devout followers of the other side, and they are full of great and unforgettable hatred for the invaders.
Even the most arrogant commanders have no face to say that they have conquered this land, on the contrary, they need to be careful of the ubiquitous suicide terrorist attacks.
If it is one's own faith, unconsciously, it has already occupied a dominant position among the people of this territory, even if this territory is still under the control of the enemy, it is only a matter of time before this territory becomes its own territory.
In the five years of the catastrophe, although there has not been a head-on conflict between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Holy See Empire, the battle of faith between the two sides has been vigorously launched.
The purpose of the war between the two sides is naturally to compete for believers, and it is disaster and hunger that are exploited.
In this battle of faith.
The Eternal Night Warlord is the one who takes the initiative to attack, and the Papal Empire is mostly on the defensive side.
In the early days, the three major disaster diversion policies of the Eternal Night Army Leader were indeed only open to the people of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
But at the end of the period, when the war of faith between the two sides was fierce, it was no longer limited to the Eternal Night Army itself, but also open to the people of the Holy See Empire who could not survive, with only one premise, to cut off the line of faith with the Holy See.
The thread of faith is both strong and fragile.
Tenacity refers to the fact that when facing external forces, even Sean, who has stepped into the realm of God, can easily kill the papal believer, but there is no way to cut the line of faith between him and the object of his faith.
Because it is a belief, a soul connection, an immaterial existence.
Vulnerability refers to the fact that when facing oneself, believers can cut off the thread of their faith in a single thought, and if it is combined with the corresponding blasphemy rituals, it will be easier, but it is basically an impossible thing to re-establish again, at least it is impossible for ordinary believers to rely on their own ability, because this is something that involves the level of law.
And for those who have been displaced and forced to accept the policy of diversion of the victims of the Eternal Night Army, even if the Eternal Night Army leader does not make this request, most of their faith threads will be broken long ago.
This is the after-effect of Pope St. George's rapid recruitment of believers with his holy miracles.
These believers were joined by the miracles and promises of Pope St. George.
The belief itself is full of utilitarianism.
They joined the Holy See in exchange for the good life they wanted.
When the Holy See is unable to fulfill its promises, these beliefs collapse as quickly as they come.
Governing a diocese and governing a territory are two very different concepts.
To administer a diocese, it is only necessary to pay attention to the spiritual and material needs of the people, and it is only used to serve the former.
The material demand for governing the territory will be greatly increased, especially in the year of the catastrophe, and the requirements for management will be greatly improved.
Because the ability of ordinary people and ordinary families to resist disasters is so poor, they must rely on the strength of the group to get through the most difficult moments.
This is definitely a big challenge in the governance of the territory.
Many well-managed territories have a hard time saying whether they can survive this kind of shock.
Not to mention the fact that the transition of power has not yet been completed and the internal management of the Holy See is chaotic.
The Holy See pinned its hopes for the maintenance of local law and order and the leadership of its subjects through disasters on the local lords entrusted with the important task.
The local lords and nobles put the blame on the Holy See, believing that it was the responsibility of the Holy See as a whole, because they had already paid the taxes to the Holy See.
Even some responsible local lords and nobles are not able to manage it if they want to.
Because they are also in a state of sitting on the mountain, there are not so many materials allocated to those ordinary people, and the continuation of life can only delay the arrival of the desperate situation.
If it's a small disaster, just stand up, maybe you can get through it.
But this kind of catastrophe that lasts for years without any hope is often dragged into a desperate situation by themselves.
I'm afraid to compare everything.
In the comparison of the Holy See, the ruling class of the Eternal Night Army Leader performed well in the face of this catastrophe, even if the supplies were also very scarce, and the food distributed to them every day was mainly scarce, and only occasionally could be seen dry.
But in such an old age, it is already an extremely lucky thing to barely fill your stomach and continue to live.
However, the real weapons that the Eternal Night Warlord has the upper hand in the War of Faith are the Second World and the Soul Stone.
The Eternal Night Lords may not be so powerful, and in the year of the calamity, even the victims of the Holy See have been saved, but they can save their souls, secretly bring their souls to the Second World, and give them a second chance.
Of course, all this is done in secret, and many of the victims of the Holy See Empire are unaware of their souls until they enter the Second World.
How could Pope St. George and the angelic phantom behind him allow the Eternal Night Army to steal souls from them?
To this end, the Holy See adapted and expanded the Sword of the Holy Aether, renamed it the Inquisition, and its main responsibility was to arrest the soul stealers from the Eternal Night Army.
This secret war is also known as the five-year soul war.
