Chapter 53: The Creation of Gods (2nd Watch)
"If you had understood in advance the outcome you were going to face, would you have had the courage to continue?"
The glare that pierces the eyelids fades, and the dizziness gradually disappears. When Zheng Ming came back to his senses, a low and gentle male voice sounded in his ears.
It opened its eyes and was immediately shocked by the scene that greeted it. It stood still and whispered to itself.
"Where is this?"
In front of me is a majestic giant city, with thick black high-rise buildings soaring into the sky in the shape of towers and spherical shapes. Its brilliance is circulating, the lines are complicated, and there is a sense of science fiction. Between the very regular buildings are well-developed streets. Small, green-skinned figures walked through the streets. They are none other than goblins.
They were dressed in black uniforms of the same black style, with dazzling patterns outlined by lines of different colors. The muscular figure looms under the tight-fitting uniform that clings to the body.
Unlike the goblins Zheng Ming had seen, their expressions were smug and proud, and the expressions on their faces were proud.
Objects shrouded in a honeycomb-shaped energy shield flew through the sky, and these objects that seemed to be flying machines were silent and extremely fast. Shuttle between buildings at breakneck speed.
When Zheng Ming opened his eyes, what he saw was the strange scene in front of him.
"Descendants who survived. As a Vic person, let's be proud. We were once one of the most powerful races in the world. As a godless median race, we have made it to the upper race by virtue of creation and magic stone technology. ”
It was the deep male voice just now, Zheng Ming looked around at the goblins around him who regarded him as nothing, and whispered to himself, "Emm...... Illusion? Vics? Looks like a goblin. ”
"This is a inheritance memory, inherited with reference to the bloodline of the Warcraft and the Demon Clan. Since the Beeks do not have the blood of the gods, they are infused into the machines made of magic stones. In a sense, it can indeed be called an illusion. ”
Talking to himself was answered, Zheng Ming's heart was shocked, and he quickly turned around to look around, but did not find any clues.
"Who are you? Can you communicate with me? ”
"As the inheritance key, of course I can communicate with you. As for who I am? Hold your horses. Listen to me...... After patiently listening to the rise and fall of our Vic people, you will naturally understand. ”
Speaking of this, the scene in front of Zheng Ming's eyes turned, and suddenly appeared outside the empty wilderness. The deep male voice in his ears continued.
"We Vic people don't have the talent of those high-ranking races, and even our own combat effectiveness is not even as good as that of the middle-level races. But through our continuous accumulation and exploration of knowledge, we have developed the world's leading creatures and magic stone technology in the Starfall Continent. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, all kinds of strange creatures and uniformed goblins appeared in the open wilderness.
The strange creatures resemble monsters made up of a variety of animals, some with two wings on their backs, some as black as ink, and some with tiger claws, scales, snake tails, and horns.
As for the goblins in uniform, I saw the brilliance on their uniforms, and light armor suddenly appeared outside their bodies. At this time, they held lightsabers with black handles and rushed towards those monsters.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and soon the seemingly powerful monsters were slaughtered by the dwarf goblins, and the scene in front of Zheng Ming's eyes changed back to the empty space before.
"Creation! We have glimpsed into part of the Creator's authority as mortals. But we don't rest on our laurels. As long as we Bic people have no gods for a day, then the title of our superior race will be nothing. So we came up with a bold idea. That's the creation of gods! ”
"Since our race is inferiorly gifted, since we cannot cultivate to become gods alone, since we are a lower race that can only rely on external things, and since we are not favored by the Creator. Then let's rely on external objects completely! That...... Let's make a god! ”
The voice implied madness suddenly rose high, and the arrogance and fanaticism that broke through the sky in the other party's tone shocked the heart.
If the so-called Bic people were as powerful as he said, then the results of their god-making were obvious. But how did such a powerful race become backward and ignorant goblins? The other party's next words answered the doubts in its mind.
"We decided to create a new life and make Him our God. He has a talent that far surpasses that of the rest of the race, so we have given Him the ability to evolve to plunder all things. He can combine the natural abilities and virtues of all races through plunder.
He had to be numerous, so that he would not be targeted by the gods of the rest of the race, who were numerous. So we gave Him the power of a doppelganger. so that He can incarnate thousands. ”
"Is it an imaginary enemy of all races? Should I say confidence or arrogance? Has the over-inflated heart become distorted by years of oppression? ”
Just when Zheng Ming was secretly slandering in his heart, the other party's words continued to come.
"But if the doppelganger wants to have a certain strength, it will definitely divide a large amount of ontological energy. We racked our brains but couldn't think of a solution. How can the doppelganger's abilities not weaken the body? In the end, we draw conclusions. Since the doppelganger is destined to consume the energy of the body, it is better to think about how to make up for it than how to reduce the consumption.
So we gave Him the power to devour. He only needs to consume a small amount of energy to make the clone grow on its own, and at the same time, he can make up for the loss by devouring himself.
"Soon we created Him through experimentation, only to find that He was very weak when he was born. After all, no race is born a god, and that's normal. We firmly believe that it is only a matter of time before He becomes a god. But how can He grow faster? We quickly figured out a way to devour the doppelganger to gain energy. So we gave Him the ability to fuse and devour the doppelganger."
"He did not disappoint us, and we were able to wage war and exterminate several races. In the midst of the battlefield, he grew faster and stronger. However, we have found that the fluid body, which was tailored to suit His characteristics, is not suitable for combat. After racking our brains and experimenting day and night, we referred to the transformation of the demon clan and the transformation of some of the demonic beasts, and gave him the ability to transform. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Ming's heart was like a tsunami in the mountains. Isn't it yourself that is revealed in the other person's words? But my ability should be brought by the system. Could it be a coincidence? If that's what you think, what is the system? Zheng Ming thought of this and fell into doubt.
"The God-making Project has just started to develop very well. We have waged war after war, plundering and exterminating countless races. As the chassis continues to expand and resources become more abundant, he is also growing.
"But it has to be said that the power of the Creator is not something that can be spied on at will, let alone in the hands of mortals. I have to say that we are too self-righteous. As He continues to grow stronger, our faith and ambition swell like never before. Eventually, our attention shifted to the orcs, who were also of the upper race and possessed gods.
"What would happen if He could devour the gods? Will he be given the authority of the gods in his place recognized by the laws of heaven and earth? The bold conjecture made us itch, so we were anxious to get the data, and we resolutely launched the war with anticipation.
"It was also in this protracted war between the upper races that the mutation that finally led to the almost extinction of our race and the severance of our inheritance occurred."
