Section 337 Crises abound6
If you want to give the world of Wage an adjective, then you can directly say: high-tech and high-magic. Of course, since there are no other worlds as a reference, it is okay to say that it is a high-tech demon. Compared to the two worlds, the earth is inferior in all aspects. Magic aside, technology is more than a notch behind.
The further you go in this world, and the deeper your understanding of this world's technology system and warlock abilities, the more you can understand that it is far more powerful than Earth. If there really is a head-on clash between the two worlds, then it will not be a battle, but a crush. In fact, as the master once said, the key to why the Warlocks have so far remained a notorious bunch of pirates in the Aether Sea, rather than becoming fearsome marauders and destroyers, lies in the near-eternal civil war between them. Most of their resources and energy have been invested in civil war, so it is impossible to conduct large-scale military operations in the Aether Sea in accordance with their true strength. If this civil war were to end, the Warlocks would be ten times more aggressive and destructive than they are now—and that's a good estimate.
So, do they have the ability to invade the earth, or conquer it?
Apparently there is. As mentioned earlier, Lu Wu believes in a theory on the earth, that is, the entire human society is controlled by a small number of people. As long as a stable passage can be established, without the need for a large army, as long as there is a small group (only a few hundred) of warlocks, they can directly control this small group of people in the simplest and most brutal way (if indirect or more tactful methods are used, such as coercion and inducement, the number of people required can be greatly reduced, maybe a few dozen warlocks will be enough). With the current technology on Earth, it is impossible to resist these warlocks with powerful supernatural abilities. In a very short period of time, control of the Earth can fall into the hands of foreign invaders, and ordinary people will not even feel it at all.
"Pretty much. The master said with a sigh. "We have missed the best chance to leave this world...... It's true for you and for me. ”
"However, I can't think of ......," Lu Wuzhi said a few words. "What is there on Earth that they covet?"
Although the earth world is vast, there is only one earth (and maybe the moon? after all, humans have already landed on the moon) in such a huge universe, and there is no special value for it.
"A single piece of land that can be inhabited by humans is enough to be coveted. Partner, remember the Gashes?" the master asked. "After learning that the natives possess great supernatural powers and good science and technology, they also attack at great risk...... If they don't understand the dangers of doing this, you wouldn't believe it, right? Even at great risk...... Is it because there's something so special about this world that has a special attraction to them? But unfortunately, it's not. Because after they were exterminated, there was no second batch...... The third batch of reinforcements arrived again. According to my investigation, there are also some records left by the child, neither Huiyue nor Hades, which have no record of coming into contact with the Gasha people again. So obviously, this speculation does not hold water. Partner, it's not that I said, although this Aether Sea is vast and immense, it can find a place for your race to survive...... Even the colonized world is not easy. A being of my type, capable of roaming any world, is only the exception of the exception. ”
"But, master, you said it," Lu Wu simply shouted. "It's the same with warlocks, the First Warlock also has the ability to act in any world. ”
Amber is like that.
"Yes, that's right. The master replied. "It is precisely because of this that things can only be said to be troublesome, and not to the point of danger or even despair. Warlocks have this talent, so finding a world suitable for their race is not too difficult. But even so, a livable world is still attractive. So ideas like 'the earth has no value, so it won't be invaded' will never work. He seemed to sense something. "Partner, hurry up and get back to the Divine Throne, those Radiant Moon Warlocks ......"
When Lu Wu finally returned to the throne, another ring in his hand had exhausted his strength. However, before he could take off the ring, the master used a spiritual link to bind the two people together.
In the next moment, Lu Wu felt that he was being enveloped—not his body, which was still standing firmly on the ground between the divine thrones—but his spirit. The feeling is similar to the previous one, but with a slight difference...... In short, it should be the master who shares part of his consciousness and feelings with him, or the master who carries part of his spirit through the interval of time and space to a distant place.
He clearly saw two Radiant Moon Warlocks...... It's on the side. That's right, it's the old woman and the ...... Butterfly Dream. Because the two sides have not been separated for a particularly long time, Lu Wu recognized it at a glance.
Although Lu Wu already knew that they were all warlocks, and they should be the best among warlocks, the very powerful kind. But how to say it, as a person from the earth, "judging people by their appearance" is already an almost instinctive habit developed in long-term practice. It's as if although the intellect knows that Diemeng is very powerful, but instinctively feels that such a hot and scholarly woman is not dangerous. Even if you stand in front of Diemeng, there will be no special pressure to talk to her. The same is true of the old woman. Although intellectually he knew that he was the strongest person in the whole world (at least one of them), he was never too strong in fear or shock instinctively.
But now, his instinct is to take a solid hit.
Because what he saw was the aftermath of a battle. The reason why it is said to be the aftermath is because the battle is actually over, and the remaining enemy has completely lost the ability to fight and even escape, and is only one-sided torture and killed.
Butterfly Dream stood aside, seemingly not participating in the battle at all. However, there were several black beasts that looked like wolves. One of the beasts was ripping open the throat of a Stygian sorcerer, causing the wounded to make a slight moan or cry for help.
There were many people lying on the ground in a mess, and it was easy to see that many of them had wounds from fangs biting.
As for the old woman on the other side...... She stood easily beside a bunch of Stygian Warlocks, her whole body hidden in her cloak, her face hidden under her hood, and she looked as harmless as a normal old lady on the side of the road. The only problem was that there was a Stygian sorcerer lying at her feet. Of course, there is no need to look closely, just looking at the bodies of the group of Stygian Warlocks who can't move, you know that they are more than lucky.
Lu Wu clearly saw the old woman walk to the side of the stilling body of a Stygian Warlock and step on his chest. I don't know how much the old woman weighed, but the lunaman's chest collapsed directly - as if he had been stepped on by a prehistoric beast.
This scene made Lu Wu, who was a bystander, gasp directly.
Then he realized what the difference was.
Yes, the feeling before was similar to this time. It's a feeling of "schizophrenia" that seems to be split into two people. His body is still in the throne of the gods, and the organs such as eyes, nose and ears are normal, and he can also control his body, but the other half of his consciousness is carried by the master through the barriers of time and space, and he can "see" something that he can't theoretically see at all.
But in the previous few experiences (including the one caused by Kecha Goat), Lu Wu only observed everything from a condescending, or higher-dimensional perspective. He can see everything, without any restrictions. But at this moment, he really came here, "came here".
That's right, it's a very, indescribable feeling. He was clearly standing here between the thrones of the gods, and his body was normal, but at the same time, he descended on the battlefield that had just ended the battle. Looking at the two Radiant Moon Warlocks standing there, and the total number of Moon Warlocks lying there around was about thirty or forty, maybe a little more. It's like he has a second body to live in two separate places, but there is only one mind and one consciousness in both bodies.
The old woman had already noticed it, and in fact both of them had noticed it. This feeling...... It can only be described as being on the other side of time and space, and there is an unknown great being who turns his gaze to this side. It's quite a shocking experience for humans, even for warlocks. This time the feeling was even stronger than the last, because this time the Great Being really stopped and projected more of itself here. Instead of just talking from afar, as was the case before.
The battle was hardly difficult for them. Of course, under normal circumstances, such a disparity in number of battles is very disadvantageous, even if a strong person of the level of the old woman does not dare to say that he can win steadily, let alone say that he will not be injured or anything. But in fact, the situation was much easier than expected. The main reason is that the more the effect of this energy absorption, the greater the impact on the weak. The speed at which it absorbs mana is constant, and it doesn't absorb it at a particularly fast rate just because someone is particularly powerful. So it is possible to use a simple arithmetic to illustrate the impact of this situation. Ten on one side and one hundred on the other, and ten times as many as the former; after subtracting five from both sides, the former becomes five, and the latter becomes ninety-five, so that the gap between the two sides widens to nineteen times; if we exaggerate a little more, if we subtract a nine from both sides, the difference between the two sides is drawn to a rather large disparity: ninety-one times.
Not to mention, there are a lot of factors that add to this. All this is enough to turn the originally evenly matched battle into a one-sided crush. Not to mention winning the war, you can't even escape.
The old woman slowly raised her head, facing the invisible but real object in front of her. She bowed with humility.
"O great Kecha Goat, salute you again. She gestured around. "It's a rash move without permission, but I think it's enough proof of our sincerity, right?"
Lu Wu instantly realized that the old woman had confused Kecha Goyat with the master. But he didn't think this confusion was a bad thing, because it was clear that Kechagoat was famous enough to make the warlocks feel intimidated, and the masters were different.
Standing beside the old woman, Diemeng clearly felt the powerful, almost suffocating pressure. This time was different from the last time, the last time Kecha Goyat only threw a small part of him, but this time it was like putting his entire existence here. Moreover, she couldn't tell what was going on, but she sensed that there was something wrong with Kecha Goat...... It's not quite the same anymore.
"I'm not Kecha Goat. After a long period of silence, a telepathic message reached the minds of the two warlocks.
