Chapter 680: Apotheosis

"What the hell is that!"

Hiding in the corner of the war, no one can notice the mastermind behind the scenes, looking at the scene in front of him with a blank face, as if it was a drama written by a third-rate screenwriter, full of bad and interesting drama.

It was supposed to be a close battle, but within a few minutes, there was a dramatic reversal, and the god who was one of the protagonists was easily suppressed, first the thick layer of basalt armor on his body was crushed, and then the main body was also hit hard, and the most exciting place ended at once.

Alice's blasphemous language was not known to him because of the sound and distance, so he felt shocked, but in addition to the shock, he was also glad that the goal he had set before did not choose to do it at this time, and that his reason controlled his impulse.

Looking at Alice's easy, face is not red and heart is not beating, if he took advantage of the battle just now to carry out a sneak attack, he may not be dealt with by the other party, he does not think that he has the strength to defeat the other party, in the position where he is now, there is no capital to fail, as long as he fails once, there will be no future, he doesn't think that someone like Alice will give him a chance to make a comeback, and will be stupid to leave hidden dangers.

It is precisely because he clearly recognizes his current situation that he will choose to win with strategy when his strength is not as strong as the other party, and he believes that only by doing so can he fight for the almost non-existent hope of victory.

"Still, there is a reward. ”

If you can ignore the sweat dripping from his forehead, saying this can continue to maintain his temperament as a ruthless mastermind, in this contest, he did not win, and of course he did not lose, because he got what he wanted.

Contrary to what the onlookers thought, Alice, who had won the victory, was not satisfied with this victory, and she frowned at the place where the island was originally located, and now it was an ocean that was still emitting heat.

After the attack just hit the gods, it destroyed the small island below that had not yet become solid, and completely sank into the sea, and perhaps in the near future, this artificial reef will become a paradise for the sea tribes.

No, it should be said that this sea area will become a paradise for sea tribes, and the magma that sinks into the ocean has a lot of rich nutrients, which can support the life and growth of the creatures in this sea area.

Perhaps the only one who is dissatisfied with the outcome of this battle is Alice, because only she, as the attacker, knows that her attack did not completely kill the god, and at the last moment, the other party does not know what means to successfully escape.

It's not surprising to think about it, after all, the gods are the first generation of the gods, and they can survive for so long without dying, and there are some strange places on their bodies, after all, there are often collisions and battles between gods and gods, and if there is no means to save life, there will not be so many gods in the English Channel that they have become disasters.

Of course, this kind of escape comes at a cost, and for a long time, there is no need to worry about what trouble this god will cause to the Baltic Empire, even if it is completely restored, after seeing Alice's power and confirming that he is not the opponent of the other party, he will not take the initiative to attack the fleet of the Baltic Empire.

"As a result, there was not even any loot, and it was a wasted one. ”

Alice shook her head helplessly, an enemy like the god does not have any treasures, and the only thing that can be confirmed by killing him will only be the divinity that is the core of the god, but not to mention killing the god, whether the extraction of divinity will attract the resentment of the god's parents, just saying that the divinity full of chaotic consciousness is not something that ordinary people can absorb.

It is not impossible to forcibly absorb and obtain such power, but the final result must be to pour sewage into the clear water, the consciousness will be polluted by chaos, and the gods will be reborn from a new body.

There were no cheers, no hymns, whether it was the intact soldiers, the wounded awaiting treatment, or the seriously wounded and dying, and the dying, they all raised their heads and looked up at the girl who was slowly descending.

The rain ceased, the clouds and lightning disappeared from the sky, even the sea breeze turned from furious to soft, and the golden sun fell from the sky and shone on the maiden's body, a sight that would have been unusually pale to describe in any words, a beauty that no picture could match, for even the best painter had painted such a picture with monotonous paint.

Such a powerful existence, such a great existence, such a huge existence

Fighting all the time, and winning unscathed, is out of the hero, out of the realm of miracles, everything can only be attributed to the gods, only the gods can do such miracles, only the gods can do it, mortals can't reach it, it's impossible to achieve miracles.

It is only in the exaggerated description of the bard that it is possible, and not many people will believe it, and do not think that they will encounter it, in the eyes of the witness, the experience, and the memory of the mind.

"God ......"

I don't know who said the name, through the gentle sea breeze clearly reached the ears of everyone present, and then I don't know who was the first to throw down the weapon in his hand and kneel on the ground, and the others followed like dominoes that had been pushed down.

They lowered their heads as much as they could, slowed their breathing, and showed the most humble attitude possible to treat the girl who had returned from defeating a strong enemy, which had surpassed their previous loyalty and reached fanatical faith.

Although many of them had already given their allegiance to Alice, it was only because Alice had brought them a stable life and kept them away from the cruel and precarious world.

Such loyalty, which is only a shallow faith, but after today, the situation is different, they will pay for their pious faith, they will carry out Alice's orders one hundred percent, they will put Alice's orders above everything.

Shallow believers will become devout, devout believers will become fanatics, they will not have any doubts about Alice's identity, and they will not do anything bad to Alice or the Empire, their loyalty has been maintained to the maximum, and if nothing happens, this maintenance will continue until the day they die.

"It's like the sun. ”

Maeve, who was hiding in the cabin, also came to the deck at the end of the battle, and in order not to appear maverick, she also knelt down and lowered her head like everyone around her.

Maeve is a smart person, and she doesn't go out of her way to do something stupid that is bound to be ostracized when everyone is doing something, even if she only has amazement in her heart now, but no faith.

As the saying goes, the more intelligent and knowledgeable a person is, the more he has no faith and loyalty, because the more he knows, the more he knows, and when the mystery becomes no longer mysterious, the awe disappears.

"It seems that it is not without gains. ”

As a pioneer in the belief in the gods, holding knowledge that all gods considered taboo, Alice felt that at this moment, she was one step closer to becoming a true god.

At a stage like hers, every step forward requires terrible effort, and every step forward can achieve unimaginable gains, as if at this time, because of the use of the artifact three times in a row, the problems between the soul and the body are being quickly repaired.

Alice didn't linger, she didn't try to say anything, as a knowledgeable spellcaster who had read a lot of books, she knew that silence was the best option at this point.

The reason why the gods are gods, mystery and unknown are not indispensable, because as long as they do not understand the brutal power, people will pay pious faith, and when the secrets of the gods are revealed, then the gods will also fall into the altar.

Back in the cabin, where the maid had already prepared clean clothes and boiling hot water, a comfortable hot bath was unimaginable after a great deal of activity.

Because it was at sea, the conditions did not allow it, so boiling water was just poured into a wooden barrel that occupied half of the room, and fresh flower petals were placed on top of it, so that the whole room was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers.

Alice doesn't like to have other people present when she is bathing, so those maids can only wait outside the door separated by a wall, even these maids who have long been Alice's devout disciples are more humble in their attitude towards Alice at this time.

"Hah!"

With her whole body sinking into the water, Alice reached out and picked up a bottle of milk from the tray floating on the water, drinking drinks and eating snacks while soaking in the bath, which was more conducive to relieving the pressure on her body.

"Sure enough, the limitations of this body are still too great. ”

She raised her hand slightly, swinging in the water.

The temporary body carried out such a high-load battle, the external strength and the middle cadre, it had almost reached the limit state, and the next one was not carried out at all, even if it was only a small-scale battle.

If you force a battle because you are in a disadvantageous state, and then lose again, it is really not funny at all, all the loot you have obtained before may be damaged in the defeat, and the defeat may have a negative impact on the Baltic Empire.

"Sure enough, you can't be a little sloppy when preparing your body, your previous thoughts are still not very safe, in the main plane, the god is only one of many strong people. ”

Alice began to consider the various shortcomings that had arisen in this battle, and she had developed the habit of making a summary after the battle, whether it was a victory or a setback.

The strength of her strength does not allow her to win every time, careful planning and cautious character are the main factors that have been her victorious from the beginning to the present.

Even in this battle, she conducted various emergency simulations before the battle, but because the mastermind behind the scenes did not appear in the end, most of it has been abandoned.

"However, there are not many people who can do this this time, knowing the location of our fleet, and being able to create such a coincidence, and test my hole cards with a god. ”

The mastermind behind the scenes did not appear in this battle, and the gods became a prop to test Alice's hole cards, and it would be great if they could defeat Alice and break the myth of invincibility.

It doesn't matter if you fail, it's just an insignificant coincidence anyway, and if you can use this coincidence to test Alice's hole cards and gather intelligence, you can also prepare for the next battle.

Having defeated the god and saved the entire fleet, Alice is the victor and there is nothing wrong with that, but from another point of view, the man behind the scenes is not the loser, he also gets what he wants.

"It can't be those guys from Scandinavia. ”

The first to be excluded by Alice were Siegel and Gohm and others, because according to the habits and personalities of the Scandinavians, they could not play such complex and elaborate operations.

"Nor should it be the people of the Celtic Isles, and those defeated dogs in the English Channel can also be ruled out. ”

The Celtic Isles and Alice had only just made contact, the sea dragon force in the English Channel had been destroyed, the remaining remnants of the army would not be defeated, and the pirates had already been scared by the last blow.

The former did not have the motive and reason to do so, while the latter did not have the ability to do so, and simply could not have made the fleet of the Baltic Empire stuck in the middle by the gods and the typhoon so coincidentally.

"If you look at the technique, it is indeed very similar to those in China who have begun to adapt to the rules of the political game, so that they can get rid of their suspicions without a trace, and they are invincible no matter what the result is. ”

"But those guys in China are playing what is left over from my game with Semiramis, and they are still imprisoned in the rules of the game that Semiramis and I have made. ”

After ruling out these, Alice can no longer find someone to guess, a capable person, without this motive to make her an enemy, a person who uses her as an imaginary enemy, there is no ability to defeat her, calculate her.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much at this time. ”

Alice shook her head, the current situation is still dark and clear, and the only way to go is to respond to all changes without change, expose your weaknesses as little as possible, and then make preparations to deal with all kinds of accidents.

"This time, the situation in the west of the empire has settled, and the next thing that needs to be maintained is chaos in the North Sea, and if the chaos in the North Sea continues, our shipping route can be stabilized, and we can continue to invade the Celtic islands with economic and cultural influence. ”

"Those princesses are also the key, but I think that witnessing the war between me and the gods today will make them grow a lot, and what the empire needs is a capable and obedient person, not a guy who can only play on the temper of a little girl and indulge in court struggles. ”
