Chapter 493 Blue Dummy
In different cultural contexts, a blink can convey many different messages, and in the culture of the devil of hell, especially in the communication of superiors to subordinate devils, a wink is equivalent to: acting in a devilish way rather than in a literal sense.
So, when signing a contract with the devil, never feel that the devil's blinking is a sign of intimacy. On the contrary, it is the devil who is ready to trap you.
There is no serious conflict of interest between Feige and Yaka, and the wink between them is to cooperate to pit others. Through this blink, Yaka knew that there was no need to go all out in the matter of the "Devil's Army Decisive Battle", just a decent army, and the Feige master had other plans. So after she returned to hell, she started negotiations with the high-ranking devils in a different way.
For a small fee, high-level devils are hired to fill the scene. These high-level devils can't take the initiative to start a war and scare the other side, they complete the mission and must leave at the same time. If they are attacked, or if Yaka asks them to fight, they will pay a high fee, including all the loot.
At the same time, the hired devils can also choose not to go to war, and the Feige and Yaka side cannot force them or they will be rejected by hell. At the same time, if the employer does not ask to hire the devils to fight, and the devils choose to fight when they can leave, then they will be independent parties and the employer will not be paid or responsible for them.
This type of employment is common. In order to avoid causing an overreaction from the good side, most of the devils operating in the mortal world are inconspicuous little devils, as well as some contract demons who are responsible for signing soul contracts. This level of devil is enough to deal with ordinary people, and if it encounters a client, such as the king's client, and needs the little devil to show his strength, then it can ask a high-ranking devil to show his face at a very cheap price in hell and cooperate with the show. Hiring actors is much cheaper and more common than buying daredevils. It's just that there have been a few times in the history of hell when actors like Yaka were invited on a large scale.
After all, these "actors" add up enough to easily destroy some small worlds.
Feige didn't fight a war with the War Knights, and he felt that if he changed the way, even if it was guessing, his chances of winning would be higher than fighting. Whether it's Feige's few remaining memories of Earth or his vast knowledge of the Deep, he knows all too well what war is. War can determine victory or defeat, but war does not always determine the winner or loser, and even whether or not you can get out of it after it occurs is not necessarily decided by one party in the war. Feige did win all of his previous battles, the War Knight and the Balance Knight thought he would be proud of his victory, and Feige always showed great pride and confidence, but in reality he didn't. For war, he was calm.
The reason why Feige didn't want to fight the war knight on the battlefield was simple, it was the same as the war knight and didn't want to compete with Feige in the magical realm. Feige thinks that the ideal situation is to find the War Knight, directly one-on-one, drag the opponent to his own spatial realm, and kill it in the way he is good at. And the knights of war are well aware of this, and hide the kingdom of God, and then hide it in the kingdom of God.
Whether it is the Divine View or the Demon Vision: Great Prophecy Technique, it is still just a mortal spell, and it cannot penetrate the boundary of the Kingdom of God to peek into the situation inside. Feiqi's infinite zero rune has a function similar to divine power, but infinite zero is an astringent ability, and the strength to protect Feiqi himself is extremely high, but the strength of radiating to penetrate the kingdom of God is very poor, so it can't be used to locate it.
Like the infinite zero rune, the kingdom of God also has advantages and disadvantages, and the biggest disadvantage is "incompatibility of divine power". The Divine Crystal of the Second World is made up of faith in the Creator, and the power in it can be absorbed by other gods, but the Crystal itself cannot be placed in the realm of the gods who are not the Creator. If you insist on putting it in, it is equivalent to a violent collision of the two rules, producing an effect similar to that of a divine war, and the result will only be that the energy in the Kingdom of God and the Divine Crystal will cancel each other.
The warehouse of the Divine Crystal can only be placed outside the Divine Realm, which gives Feiqi a means to contain war and balance, and also leads to the scene where the War Knight asks Feige for war through Balance. In his conversation with the Balanced Blues, Feige believes in the War Knights' desire to fight, but not in Balance.
He believes that the balance he sees is not a "knight of balance", but a creator.
"Balance" talks so much about his philosophy, but the most important point he doesn't explain is why he helps the War Knight in a battle. It has remained a mystery in the Second World for so long, and almost no one knows what it looks like and what it is capable of, and now it suddenly jumps out and goes directly to the biggest enemy, Feiqi, which in itself cannot be justified.
If this is done for the sake of "balanced", then what are the benefits? to keep those divine crystals, to save his own life? Fei Qi felt that there was something inexplicable.
If it's for your life, it's better to keep it mysterious, there's no better cover. In addition, if he is really balanced, he can resurrect the Creator as he said, and then he can continue to hide behind the Great God. Balance and Feige don't have a blood feud, and the two haven't even clashed, so as long as they don't pursue forcibly keeping the Divine Crystal, Balance can completely save their lives.
If it's for the Divine Crystal, then this matter is even more inexplicable. To put it bluntly, the Divine Crystal is the stuff of the Creator, part of it is the divine power stored (left behind) by the Creator, and the other part is the power of faith in the Creator that has been collected. Any knight who occupies these divine crystals is essentially stealing from the Creator.
The Creator was shattered, not destroyed. The Yongli Continent and the Second World are still there, and the creation gods of these two worlds can be reborn, which is only a matter of time. Moreover, from the perspective of the overall layout of the destruction and rebirth event, the creator must - and must - come back to life before the two worlds collide, otherwise where does the "rebirth" in the destruction and rebirth come from?
So now there is a very clear set of logical relationships. The knights who support the "Destruction and Rebirth Project" must welcome the return of the creator, and they must not do too much with the Divine Crystal. Knights who do not support the "Destruction and Rebirth Project" will worry about the return of the creator, and they should be interested in Feige's proposal to "leave the second world".
By the time Balance uttered the phrase "Otherwise I would have woken up the Creator sooner," Fitch had already sensed the problem. The content of this threat does not fit the above two situations, and is more like a hard-to-find sentence that does not deeply consider the deeper meaning it represents. Yes, the Creator is a threat, but Feige feels that this sentence sounds more like: Do what I say, and I'll let the Creator deal with you.
Why is your "balance" able to command the Creator, especially when you actually use the Creator's Divine Crystal, and in disguise "delay" the awakening time of the Creator? Feige thinks deeply and finds that the only explanation that can make this logic valid is that this "balance" can really command the Creator, and it is the Creator.
After that, Feige began to probe. His laughter, facial expressions, and body movements are all expressions of confidence, a confidence that is beyond the ordinary, but has a solid foundation. He told him that if he failed to prevent the destruction of the Yongli Continent, his revenge plan, every step in it was in line with his strength level, and he had very full support in both emotional and rational aspects, and he was completely impeccable. It wasn't something Fitch came up with on the fly, but a by-product of thinking about how to save the world. Feige did think of using this revenge plan to blackmail a few knights into helping him. It's just that the success rate of this approach is too unstable, and it is thrown into the garbage heap of "useless plans".
Today, this plan has become useful, just in time to test the "balance". The threat of inevitable revenge and the temptation to leave the Second World freely could not impress it, and with the previous question, Feige was almost certain that it was not really balanced, and that it was not a suggestion but a trap.
"A war with the War Knights" is a situation that Feige has been deliberately avoiding. In the Second World, he had only two modes of action: acting like an Assassin on his own, or sending out an army of demons and watching from the sidelines. Feige decided on these two modes of action based on his reasoning about the abilities of the War Knights, which happened to have the effect of "exerting influence but not participating in the war". Now the enemy wants him to break these two patterns, which just shows that he is doing the right thing and his reasoning is correct.
Feige has even more reason to believe that the War Knight has a way to drag him in a state of war and unable to leave, which is in the best interests of the creator, and a need that becomes even more urgent after Feige declares the "revenge plan". When it comes to the power level of the gods, there are not many ways to completely kill the gods, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they need to lock the true body of the gods outside the kingdom of the gods. Few gods are as lazy as greedy, and in order to save some energy, they usually neither incarnate nor expand the kingdom of the gods, but just lie on the edge of the divine crystal and lick it twice from time to time.
Drag yourself with the War Knight, and then find a way to kill him. Or drag it out until the world is destroyed, and get rid of this big problem by the way? In this plan, it is not Feige who takes the biggest risk, but the War Knights. And the one who can make him take this risk will definitely not be a knight of balance who is at the same level as him, but only the creator.
So the question now is interesting: why did the Creator start intervening in his own confrontation with war, and why did he choose this way.
New situations raise new problems, and Feige needs to think about it. The appearance of the Creator actually solves a corner of the puzzle for Feige: whether the weakness of the plan of destruction and rebirth is the same as his previous vision. The plan he had laid out to save the Yongli Continent was to deal with the most difficult situation under the most demanding conditions, and it was extremely difficult to implement, and the success rate was also very high—but this was all his reasoning. As long as the Creator reveals some information, Feige can use this information to further refine his plan, make it easier to implement, and maintain or even increase the success rate.
He thought, but he couldn't think too much, after all, the Floating Continent was just above the head of the main planet of the Second World, and someone with good enough eyes could spy on him. He has to act clearly for the watchers, and maintain the "persona" he shows to his enemies: an ascetic who is confident because of magic, proud of his victory, who embarks on the path of salvation in order to fight against the corruption of evil, and a strong man who struggles between gods, men and demons.
But in reality, magic is only a tool, and victory depends on hard work, so there is nothing to be proud of. Challenges and interests when saving the world are what he wants to do, and it won't be too hard. He thinks that the devil is good, the angels are good, and although human beings are weak, they are the only choice that can be used to enjoy a good life. As long as you have it all, you won't struggle.
"It's good to be remembered by the enemy. If I can't make waves after grabbing so many divine crystals, it means that my plan to save the world is very problematic, and the next thing I can do is to exhaust all magical means to transfer the people of the Yongli Continent to other worlds. This method is done to the extreme, and it can only save a small number of people......"
The balance is just right, and Feige is happy to see it, and then he blends that joy into laughter, continuing to deceive his enemies through the real emotions that emanate from it. Even the most authentic smile is not guaranteed to be based on what preceded it. It is emotions that cause laughter, and emotions can come from memory, not always reality—only the devil with sinister intentions has the motivation and ability to study such things.
Now, he is more motivated to carry out his plans and his confidence in the future has increased. However, he can't stay on the Floating Continent for too long, which doesn't meet the enemy's expectations of him "to launch the devil and prepare for battle".
Returning to the Yongli Continent, behind the boundary of the space guarded by the Goddess Divine Kingdom, Fei Qi will feel much more relaxed. The Empire's sphere of control has temporarily stabilized after this year's major expansion, and the old nobles have been more proactive in cooperating with the actions of the working group after seeing Feige's magic performance, especially the fact that there are many tricks in the shadows, which has reduced the pressure on the management of the empire a lot. The turmoil caused by Andrew's return quickly receded, and this time even the desperate path of using Carroll and Diamond was completely blocked, and Feige's rule was as solid as Mount Tai.
The main body of the ten magic towers was completed, and only the work of painting and decorating the exterior walls remained. Feige stopped the work, and the magic tower wouldn't strike because it was ugly, and the decoration was just a smoke bomb released to prolong the construction period, prepared for the possible saboteurs. Feige finished the project earlier than expected, and after a personal acceptance inspection, placed the Divine Crystal inside, and activated the Magic Tower.
The tall towers of gray-white rough stone and alchemical cement look unremarkable, but they are connected to form a massive magical wall that forms a barrier along the edge of the Sunset Mountains, creating an interior that is inaccessible to ordinary people. Any living object will be redirected by the magic wall, and those who want to get in will be sent out, and those who want to be kicked back. The line near the magic tower is the impassable border, and then extends one kilometer in each direction to the thickness of the space wall.
There is no space to teleport the key at all, Feiqi uses his native language on Earth as the key, and the guys in the Yongli Continent and the second world can't guess it.
The wall formed by the magic tower is invisible, and the magic tower at a depth of one kilometer can be seen from both sides, but no one can walk there. At the same time, anyone can see the scene behind the magic tower, but that scene is false, only magical, so the two sides of the magic tower cannot communicate. Some fanatical followers of the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth lurking in other countries want to destroy the Magic Tower, and they have become the best test subjects for the Magic Tower's functional effects.
The Creator used the balance of the knight's shell and the life of the war knight to set up a trap for Feige, and Feige used magic to set a trap for the entire Second World. In the end, it's up to who is smarter.
