Gawain never imagined that the reason why the God of War belief system went wrong in the first place would eventually point to the "economic war" between Cecil and Typhon, and on this basis, many things exceeded his expectations-

He didn't think that different gods would have different "tendencies", let alone how to predict the tendencies of gods from the direction of "ideology"; He didn't expect that certain changes in human society would have such a direct impact on the corresponding gods, let alone that some "weak" gods would react so much......

At this moment, he was a little skeptical that his development plans were too far ahead of his time, or that he was going into areas that he shouldn't have been in.

But another voice in his heart was making a sober judgment: the desire of mortals to pursue a better life was definitely not an original sin in itself, and he had known for a long time that the gods would gradually fall into madness due to the development of mortal civilization, and now it was only now that the effects were finally beginning to appear before his eyes.

Looking back at what Cecil had been through along the way, he realized that there was no alternative to those development plans - without all of this, Cecil would have been wiped out before his rise, the Southland would have suffered heavy casualties when the Great Wall was first leaked, the weakened kingdom of Ansu would not be able to repair the holes on the edge of the Gondor wasteland, and the civil war and the subsequent catastrophe would have completely destroyed Ansu, followed by Typhon's annexation war......

At that point, the killing efficiency of a person may even be far greater than that of a catastrophe.

But he still shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect our unconscious behavior to lead the god of war to madness......"

The next second, he heard Amone's voice ringing in his head, with a gentle chuckle: "Ah...... While all of this does concern you, you may also be overestimating the impact that what you have done in just a few years on a god.

"The rapid deterioration of the god of war's situation should indeed be a recent thing, but he is not just driven crazy by the kind of 'war' you just mentioned—at best, you have only pushed a little bit on the edge of the cliff and accelerated what seems to be a negligible overall. As I understand it...... Or guess that the madness of the god of war over reason should have started a long time ago. ”

Gao Wen's expression changed instantly, and he heard that the former god in front of him seemed to have some inside story, and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"As I said, the tendencies of the god of war determine that he is one of the easiest gods to step into madness, and you mortals...... You mortals are too good at change, especially in the face of war. Ever since you started throwing stones at each other, you have asked the god of war to witness more 'covenants' than any god has witnessed, and yet there are countless agreements that you have torn up without even making excuses......"

Amonen spoke unhurriedly, as if an indifferent bystander was judging a script on the stage of the world, and there was no disgust in his tone, but there was no hint of protection and explanation—

"Merchants need to be honest in the face of profit, but kings and lords can do everything they can to break the covenant - yes, they have asked the god of war to witness those contracts, but they have long before they prayed to think of the appropriate way to break the contract, so that everything seems fair and reasonable, and can even fool and move themselves......

"So, mortals are almost 'schizophrenic' when it comes to war—then, the god of war is also schizophrenic, and even if he wasn't at first, he would quickly slide into this abyss."

Gawain couldn't help but glance at Veronica, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a complicated look.

"As a member of the mortals, I don't seem to have much to justify," Veronica whispered, "the mortal race...... Indeed, most of them are full of contradictions and flaws. ”

"Yes, so mortal civilization is also full of contradictions and flaws, and the gods of mortal faith are also full of contradictions and flaws, and this is a closed ring, in which all of us, and the gods," Amone said calmly, "but I can still see the shining light in it—at least in any era, in any situation, there are 'people' who are trying to break this ring, sometimes mortals, sometimes gods, which shows that we are at least not willing to accept all this." ”

Gawain looked at Amone with a thoughtful expression, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that this "god of nature" was more ...... than the last time he saw it became closer to people, which made him inexplicably have a thought: the growth of human nature.

Perhaps, after a long period of 3,000 years of suspended animation and recent "changes", the time has finally come for the former god to bear fruit, he is shedding the last shackles of divinity, and humanity is growing, and this is no longer the humanity that countless mortal currents of thought have gathered and given to him, but the "humanity" that truly belongs to Amone's own......

Has Amorn noticed this change himself?

Gawain had some speculation in his mind, but he didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head slightly, "Let's go back to the Goddess of Magic...... Amon, you know Him...... Where is she now? ”

"Unfortunately, I can't help with that," said Amon, "the Shadow Realm is a more complex place than you think, it doesn't have a contiguous space in the usual sense, and it can be chaotic and chaotic a little deeper than here, and every mind going to the deepest part will take a different path, so that no one but the Goddess of Magic herself will know where she has gone, and it will be impossible to track her. ”

"The Shadow Realm still has such a nature?" Gawain said with some surprise, and then he frowned, "So, we can give up the idea of finding the Goddess of Magic......"

"Why are you so obsessed with finding her?" Amone asked rhetorically, "Has her escape caused a lot of damage to you or your kingdom?" Or do you want something from a god who has left the throne? ”

As he spoke, the former god paused, and suddenly chuckled: "Ah, you seem to have been in contact with things related to gods, and you also hold a lot of inheritances and even remains related to gods...... Could it be that you have any hobbies in this area of collecting? ”

"No...... Of course not," Gawain was a little embarrassed, he had seen the occasional "sense of humor" from Ammon last time, but until this time he hadn't been very comfortable with it, "It's just that a god has done such a big thing under his nose, I can't help but be a little concerned." ”

"Then keep your curiosity under control—I suggest you stop paying attention to this for now," Ammon retracted the smile in his tone and admonished rather earnestly, "you can't find her, and she won't have any contact with mortals anytime soon." I know your plan of disobedience, and as a result, it should be your expectation that 'harmless' a god should be in line with your expectations, so you should allow Mirmina to complete her quarantine and self-purification...... This is the safest. ”

"Actually, I thought so...... I accept your suggestion," Gawain thought for a moment and nodded, "But how long will she have to be quarantined and purified like this?" Could it be that it will take at least 3,000 years like you? ”

He knew the gods' concept of time—basically the same as when he was a satellite spirit, so he had to inquire in advance to see if this matter needed to be followed, if the goddess of magic really planned to find a place to sleep like Armon for three thousand years...... Then he can almost put this matter behind him when he goes back, and at most find a sturdy stone or a Mithril plate or something like that, write a message on it, and put it on the mountain, hoping that some brave man or archaeologist will see it thousands of years later, and then go and find the coffin board of the goddess of magic to see if she is alive......

Of course, there is a second plan, which is to work his own, to still reign in 3,000 years, and then wait for the goddess of magic to come out of some gap in the shadow world, and go over and say to her: Ma'am, do you guess the times have changed......

Of course, the premise of all this is that mortal civilization has carried the demon tide and the black trap, otherwise everything is a fantasy.

"I can't give you an answer, but I guess it won't be long, and it may not even seem to you mortals," Amon's voice suddenly came, interrupting Gawain's thoughts, "She...... Although it may seem like she has followed a similar path to me, her breaking free is clearly much more successful and thorough than mine. The aura I sensed in her had almost completely washed away the divinity, and I don't know how she did it, but she clearly paid a great price......"

Listening to the information revealed by Ammon, Gawain suddenly thought of the "escape route" of the goddess of magic this time-

She entered the magic web, and then risked being captured by Naritil to dive deeper into the neural network, and according to Duvalt's later report, she also wandered for a while in the chaotic area of the neural network's boundary, and it was because of this last "wandering" that she fell into Naritil's cobweb, and almost failed to escape......

As a god who has been trying to break out of the cycle for a long time, she can't do anything useless while she executes her plan.

That is to say, the magic web and the neural network, especially the "unconscious zone" at the edge of the neural network...... Very important to the Goddess of Magic, some of their properties are the key to her success in breaking free from her chains!

Veronica on the side obviously thought of the same thing as Gawain, she was also thoughtful, and the change in her and Gawain's expressions did not escape Ammon's keen eyes.

"Looks like you have some ideas?" Amone was a little curious, "Can you tell me?" ”

Gawain looked at Amon, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"We've built something called a 'neural network,'" he says, "and it's made up of a large number of active human brain nodes that run on human thought, and at the edge of that network is a layer called ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard Amon's voice ring in his head: "Untendentious thoughts?!" ”

Gawain looked at Ammon in surprise, his eyes widening slightly.

"I see...... I see...... Thrilling and subtle ideas...... First restore yourself to the posture you had at the beginning of your birth, and then wash away those restraints......" Amon seemed to be greatly stimulated, and actually said to himself, "I really deserve to be a god in the field of magic, so reckless...... But so lucky......"

The god of the giant deer was so excited that the originally constant glimmers of light on his body suddenly accelerated, and a slight tremor appeared at the end of his limbs, and this body that had been still for three thousand years showed a hint of activity, but in the next second, all tremors stopped abruptly: the layers of restraints still trapped him firmly after all.

Gawain was amazed that Ammon had thought of the characteristics of the boundary zone of the neural network in an instant, and even the summary of "untendentious thoughts" was far more accurate than the "unconscious zone" proposed by Cecil's technicians, and it was also suitable for its role in the previous "howling incident".

He figured out a lot of things in an instant, and subconsciously spoke: "You mean, the goddess of magic washed away her divinity and cut the 'chains' by 'soaking' herself in the chaotic human current?" ”

"That's how it should be...... Chances are," Amonen reacted to himself, "It's a valid idea......

Veronica couldn't help but take a step forward, and said in a somewhat hurried tone, "Then this method can be used on other gods......

"If it can be used on other gods," Ammon seemed to have calmed down from his excitement, and his tone made Gawain and Veronica quickly calm, "Not every god can enter the magic web—Mirmina is the only god born of magic." And even if you think of a way to put the 'untendentious ideology' into practical use...... It shouldn't have any effect on other gods. ”

Gawain understood the first half of Amone's words and thought it was true, but he was a little puzzled by the second paragraph: "Why didn't it work?" ”

"I want to start by asking, how big is that 'neural network' you are talking about? How many consciousnesses are running on it? ”

Gawain thought for a moment and said calmly: "It's actually still in its infancy...... While we're working hard to roll it out, it's currently running at its peak with only tens of thousands of ......"

"That's the key - any god, the mortal thought behind him, the scale of the corresponding mortal thought is not comparable to tens of thousands of nodes."

Veronica frowned, "Then why is the goddess of magic?" ”

"I guess she's been starving herself for a long time......" Amone said.

Gawain: "......"

He thought of the special nature of the goddess of magic, Mirmina, and the god's "habit" of never answering the prayers of the believers, never sending down miracles, and only responding to the prayers of the believers to a minimum.

As far as he knew, the goddess had been like this since thousands of years ago.

He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Well, it seems that she has been 'hungry' for a long time......"
