Chapter 191: The Beginning of the War
Twenty-four hours after nothing happened, there was a sudden commotion in the camp of heavy trucks, followed by more than a dozen combat teams of combat-type monsters and commanders pouring out of the camp and completely clearing the surrounding ground like mad dogs. When they finally returned to the camp, they carried tons of dirt and plants with them.
Of course, the reason for all this is very simple, it's just that Su Xing left a little bit of his power on the ground around him, and at the same time made some kind of hint that they thought that this was a sample of divine power leaking from the light mist.
In just three hours, all the personnel who came into contact with these samples were given extremely secret mental hints, or rather, Su Xing only unilaterally amplified their disgust with another force and their sense of urgency to complete the task. In this state of mind, even a small move can trigger a large-scale battle between the two sides.
And taking this opportunity, Su Xing also had a comprehensive understanding of the research they had conducted.
Surprisingly, this seemingly good organization has taken a significant detour in the study of this light mist. It can even be said that if they continue to study in this direction, they will never understand what a god is. This made Su Xing very disappointed, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to understand the emergence of this situation.
Most of the information given by the god "snake" they worship is specious and beautiful. There is no doubt that this guy not only hid his hand, but even deliberately induced these people to move in the wrong direction. Interestingly, this group also has its own plans, and they are also secretly researching the power of the gods through other means.
"So, the relationship between these sub-subspaces and the Kingdom of God is actually not very good, is it?"
After archiving the materials obtained from the underground laboratory, Su Xing began a discussion with Tuanzi on this issue.
"Even in the case of the disadvantage of the War of the Divine Kingdom, these guys still refuse to let go of the suppression of those with potential in the sub-subspace? Shouldn't we make every effort to extract more living forces from these sub-worlds and turn them into a useful army? How did you come up with this situation where the more you fight in the front, the more serious the class solidification in the rear?
Dango was used to being shocked, and now his voice was calm, just like his flat appearance. "I have an explanation here, you can listen to it. β
"This phenomenon may have something to do with their system of gods. I found out from the memories of these two old ghosts that, as far as they knew, no new god had been born on Takamagahara, for more than five hundred years. At the same time, none of the gods have changed their positions. Until the period of the invasion of the Heavenly Demons in their mouths, the gods of the entire High Heaven Plain had been in a state of severe saturation. Until the large-scale fall of the gods caused by the war. And when their god dies, he will leave something called a 'god seat'. β
"You can think of it as a kind of super-memory, which carries most of the power and experience of the fallen gods, and more importantly, the realm of divinity that they mastered during their lifetime. And so many vacant divine slots, even for those gods who already have their own divine realm, are extremely tempting and good!"
Su Xing looked up at the porcelain white ceiling above, "You mean, the cake is so big, it's always good to have a few fewer people?"
"Yes. These gods can actually become more powerful by devouring each other, but under normal circumstances, no normal creature would do such a thing, after all, whoever dares to do this will be regarded as an enemy by everyone. But now that there's an opportunity to swallow up the other empty gods, what choice do you think those guys will make?"
Su Xing nodded, "They will definitely seize every opportunity to seize all the divine positions that can be annexed and make themselves stronger." β
"So, I think there are a lot of people who want to have as many fallen gods as possible!"
"Power drives people crazy, even the gods on high cannot avoid it. Su Xing shrugged, "But what does this matter to me." β
"They're already on the move. Dango pointed to the screen displaying on the screen.
Led by more than a dozen giant orangutan-shaped monsters with a height of about five meters, a large group of miniature multi-legged chariots that could only accommodate one driver followed, followed by more than twenty boxy armored vehicles. The large army of "Chasing the Serpent of Immortality" has officially begun its tentative attack on the light mist.
And this move of theirs also caused a fierce reaction from the other side.
With the youkai-style gods and wild monsters controlled by the Onmyoji as the main body, thousands of large and small monsters with uneven combat power levels spread across the front of the ruins that were not very spacious technically, followed by hundreds of unorganized and undisciplined swordsmen, ronins, wild samurai and the like, but judging from the spiritual power light flashing on their bodies, they all had two brushes.
At the back of the formation, more than a dozen puppets or monsters with big shoulders and round waists formed a tight formation under the banner of their respective forces, leading the car in an orderly manner. These six-wheeled open-top carriages, slowly dragged by white horses, housed hundreds of high-end professionals from different schools such as onmyoji, priests, monks, and sword masters, among which the Kurokawa Grand Priest was the leader.
Kneeling in the largest and most luxurious carriage, the Kurokawa priest, ah no, it should be Bishop Aada, was wearing that dead man's mask, his eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. To his left stood a gray-haired girl, the maid she had picked up from outside the day before. Of course, in private, the old men still think that this is just a recent change of taste from His Excellency the Priest.
"This kind of military strength is enough to be called a first-class joint battle in my peaceful world!" a sword saint from Shimada Ichichi exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Even the battle between the Tachibana family and the Zao family is nothing more than that, right?"
"The ancestors of the whole Tibetan don't know this, although the Tachibana family's iron artillery team has as many as 2,000 people, but the three hundred white yaksha of the Zao family can confront it head-on in the flat battle, and in the end, fifty people survived. It is conceivable that the Dragon Gate Martial Arts of the Zao family has been developed by them to what extent. β
A gray-robed monk sitting beside him explained to him with a smile: "In the final analysis, the real battle was only 2,300 people, which is dwarfed by the strength of the army of nearly 10,000 people. β
......
"What are they talking about? Su Xing looked at the two big forces that were still in the confrontation below with some impatience, "I have already prepared the stage for them, and the actors have arrived, why don't you start performing?"
"Maybe it's because they didn't take advantage of the previous conflicts and battles. Tuanzi danced with tentacles and floated around Su Xing, "I think they still need a little bit of stimulation." β
Su Xing glanced at the dumpling with a bad stomach, "What kind of excitement? Do you want me to surprise them personally?"
"It's not impossibleβ" Danzi's tone was quite serious, "these guys are more shrewd than the other, if it weren't for the gods above, where would they be willing to do this kind of thing, I think you can add some special effects to that pregnant guy to make them feel uncomfortable." After all, no one has ever seen such an unborn god!"
Su Xing was as good as flowing: "Okay, then...... That's it!"
The periphery of the originally quiet light mist suddenly lit up with extremely subtle fragments of light, and the color of this light continued to change and jump, and pitch-black cracks began to appear around the light mist one after another, exuding a seeping cold air.
"Doctor! The target is starting to change noticeably, and the time seems to have been advanced!" There was a panic in the rear command, this target object that violated many laws of physics and had a variety of wonderful observable phenomena at the same time was extremely dangerous for them. Hundreds of staff members lost their lives and were assimilated into the mist of light just to collect samples.
And everything that has changed in the Goal now proves that the time for the birth of the gods is coming!
However, the people who "chase the serpent of eternal life" are still not ready to bring the power of the "serpent" into this world. Because it was a full ten days earlier than they had guessed, and eight days earlier than the time the serpent had given them. Two-thirds of the gates that can introduce divine power into the mortal world have been built, and the projection of the "snake" cannot be allowed to descend at all.
"Ah, it looks like the only way to do that is to take down the guys on the other side completely. Macchiato's eyes had turned a terrifying silver-white, her pupils had vanished, and violent lightning danced in her hair, and her whole being began to transform into a half-human, half-mechanical state. Hundreds of small accessories flew out of the truck behind her, slicing together a sturdy set of small mechs on her.
Su Xing glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, this Dr. Macchiato is really talented, he can actually design such a set of things in that kind of environment with extremely bad infrastructure, and more importantly, after Su Xing's analysis, he found that this thing only needs to modify the power system slightly, and it can be directly used in the real world!
After the completion of the rearmament, Macchiato is completely a small armed robot about two meters tall, with more than ten external weapon systems alone, which can defeat at least one regiment of troops on a frontal battlefield.
"This thing is good, Xiaobai, include it in our database, and it can be sold as a weakened version of the robot when the time comes. β
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce battle had already begun below.
The battle erupted with a swift and brutal intensity that actually exceeded the expectations of everyone on both sides, with thousands of yokai and hundreds of combatants lying in the ruins in just the first round of hedging. And this is just a small test before the high-end forces of the two sides officially contact.
With the emergence of a large number of cannon fodder-style gods and various buff spells manipulated by the onmyoji, the balance of victory actually fell towards the hodgepodge side that did not seem to be in unison.
The fighters in the multi-legged chariot fired all the high-explosive ammunition they carried at the youkai who came in no formation, and after the violent explosion, the casualties of the youkai were not as serious as expected, and a faint blue halo reflected the sunlight outside their bodies, blocking at least two-thirds of the damage.
