For hundreds of years, the Eternal Sleepers who had been dormant beneath Typhon's old capital had been trying to understand and analyze the secrets of the gods from an ancient device, which they had thought was a cage for imprisoning some of the gods' fragments, but they didn't realize that it was actually a vessel and altar built specifically for the gods—it carried the eyes of the gods.

This is undoubtedly a great irony, as well as ...... Terror.

The only luck for the Eternal Sleepers is that the restraint facility from the ancients has failed, and the "Vision of God" contained in it has been truly shielded, and it cannot return to the divine realm for the time being, but can only be locked up in the "throne" originally prepared for it like a real prisoner, which did not cause a catastrophe comparable to the "Upper Narrator Incident" that year.

The Eternal Sleeper has only two options, either to completely destroy the Vision in the Binding Field, or to somehow securely isolate the Vision from the Divine Realm forever, ensuring that even if the restraint device fails one day, that eye will not "tell" the gods what it sees.

Gawain frowned and looked at the starlight aggregate floating on the opposite side, "The Great Collapse of Orlandale was caused by you in the process of trying to destroy or seal the Vision of God?" ”

"It's one of the reasons, but it's not all because of us," Megael III's tone suddenly became a little strange, as if with a sigh of regret at the impermanence of fate, "We finally decided to destroy the Vision, and we devised a plan for this - in the course of hundreds of years of research, we have come to know some about the ancient restraint device, and are able to make more control and adjustments to it, and we have found that closing its inner ring stable structure at the right time can cause a powerful energy shock in the restraint field, And if the charge level of the outer ring area is adjusted to the maximum, this shock can even completely annihilate the power of the gods in the center of the energy field......

"After a lot of discussion and calculations, we were ready to implement this solution – and for that, we needed some time to charge the outer ring of the restraint device.

"It's at this stage that the accident happened - remember, the entire ancient ruins are underneath Orlandel, the old capital of the Typhon Empire.

"While we were working on the restraints, the Augustans suddenly decided to renovate the city's drainage facilities - it seems like a coincidence now, but no one noticed it at the time - the urban drainage facilities of those days were very backward, you know, more than two hundred years ago Typhon was no different from the old Ansu, the so-called urban drainage channel was an underground river that happened to run through Orlandale, and people drained all the dirty water into it, except for the dark river and the limited ditch, Most of the city had no sewers, and it was in this situation that the royal family of Typhon suddenly wanted to build an artificial sewer outside the main city, so they began to dig down......

"They dug very deep, but at first they did not touch the 'dome' of the dungeon, but strange things still happened: the workers in charge of the excavation had hallucinations underground, and as more and more earth and stone were transported out, the mental state of the diggers deteriorated, at first, the nobles did not care about the state of the civilian workers, but suspected that they were lazy, and forced them to work underground for a longer time, but soon, this illusion began to extend to the overseers and even the knights stationed near the excavation site......

"When there was an anomaly on the surface, we focused most of our attention on the underground, so much so that it wasn't until more and more diggers got out of control, and the royal family of Typhon even began to send elementals to open the ground and try to dissolve through the rock formations, that we suddenly realized one thing:

"The restraint has weakened somewhere, and the 'Vision' has a consciousness of its own, and it has secretly spread its power without alerting us, and over the years of infiltration and contamination, it has affected the inhabitants of Orlandale - and even the royal family that rules Orlandal."

Amber, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Then...... And then what? ”

"The situation began to spiral out of control - some members of the royal family and a large number of workers, overseers, and nobles who had been sent to dig holes were contaminated, and they began to dig down frantically, and the mages loyal to the royal family were involved, and under the attack of powerful magic, all the protections we had set up did not work, and they soon dug a large hole in the center of Orlandale and found the dome of the dungeon, and then the dome was also dug up, and the royal knights and mages swarmed in.

"The whole of Orlandel was shrouded in an atmosphere of eerie, fear, and tension, and the commoners did not know what was happening, and the petty nobles and merchants were frightened by the frenzied excavations, and all kinds of gossip spread, and the upper nobles said that treasures had been found underground, which further exacerbated the chaos in the city......

"The Order of the Sleepers is powerless to stop this, and more importantly...... The Vision has begun to reinvigorate.

"It knew what we were going to do, and it resisted, the members of the Order of the Sleepers are powerful psychic mages and have developed a firm resistance to the gods, and when they are suppressed by restraints, it can't do anything about us, so it transforms the unsuspecting on the surface into tools. When the royal knights entered the dungeon and began to destroy the energy stations everywhere, the Vision also began to impact the magnetic cage of the restraint device, and the energy that we were originally going to use to annihilate the Vision was not ready, so it was very likely that the Vision would leave the force field and return to the Divine Realm......

"My only option at the time was to stop the out-of-control, frenzied diggers, and the royal family of Typhon, who kept sending more knights in the rear.

"I and a few archbishops ventured to the surface through other passages and infiltrated the Augustusian castle, and to our great surprise - half of the nobles and a considerable number of royals in the castle were still trying to resist the erosion of the Vision, even the Emperor himself...... He barely kept his sanity.

"Most of the diggers and knights who poured into the dungeon were not sent by them, and no one knew who gave those people the order to keep digging and invading the dungeon, and a small half of them were people sent by the emperor who barely kept his senses to stop and investigate the situation, but they immediately went crazy after entering the dungeon and lost contact with the castle. The castle could not receive any news, and its own judgment function was in a state of confusion, so it continued to send more investigation teams, and more and more people poured into the underground palace.

"Luckily, after building a strong psychic barrier, we freed the Emperor and some of his ministers from the Vision's erosion - surrounded by the Royal Guard, I told Emperor Typhon the truth about the underground at the time.

"Of course, I didn't tell the Emperor that behind the 'Vision' was a 'true god' in the minds of the general public, because normal people's perception of gods is obviously very different from our view of gods, and I told him that it was a crazy evil god, and our research and excavation work on the surface of the earth woke him up.

"We – the people underground and the people above ground – have made a big mess together, but there was no time to hold accountable. After quickly judging the situation inside the dungeon, the Emperor decided to evacuate the entire city, evacuate all the unpolluted people, and create a no-man's land on the outskirts of the city, while we set in motion an underground annihilation plan to completely destroy the Vision. ”

Gawain nodded slightly: "Evacuate the civilians, create a mental isolation zone to prevent the spread of psychic pollution, and destroy the pollution center...... The train of thought is correct, and then what? ”

Megaor III was silent for a moment, with a hint of sigh in his tone: "Driven by the knights and noble soldiers, the evacuation was quickly completed, and several archbishops and I blocked all the passages in the inner layer after returning to the dungeon, blocking the crazy knights and diggers who had already entered the dungeon, which successfully delayed for some time, and at the appointed moment, the energy was finally enough, and we succeeded in triggering the energy shock of the restraint device, and the Vision of God was wiped out in a powerful impact - we began to cheer, Until the wrath of the earth and the creation of annihilation slammed into our dome one after another. ”

Amber blinked and spread her hands: "...... Same as I thought. ”

"We didn't think at the time," said Megaard III in a self-deprecating tone, "that we were a bunch of ...... Researchers, perhaps extreme researchers, we are dark cults, fallen priests, paranoid, cold, who have chosen a terrible path, but without all of this, we are still a group of researchers – and that includes me.

"The researcher's head is not good at speculating on the wrath of the earth and the creation of annihilation that fall on his head."

"Emperor Typhon made a cold decision two hundred years ago, but would you like to hear what I think?" Gawain said slowly, his gaze falling on the starlight aggregate.

“…… Makes sense, doesn't it? ”

"Reasonable," Gawain nodded slightly, "If you failed to destroy the Vision at that time, then the Orlandel region would be the source of the disaster, destroying the entire region may not be able to stop the arrival of the 'evil gods', but at least it may delay the evacuation of others, if you succeed in destroying the vision, then the then Emperor Typhon will not keep you alive - you are a dark order, and you have been breeding in the imperial capital, under the noses of the royal family for hundreds of years, to some extent, You even have the power to cause unrest throughout the empire, which no ruler can tolerate.

"So whatever the outcome, you'll all have to die in Orlandelle."

"I figured this out afterwards," said Megael III with a chuckle, "and many of us figured it out. ”

"But you can't find an empire for revenge—especially after suffering a heavy blow," Gawain said unhurriedly, "What's more, as time goes on, and more and more new generations of cultists are added, the Order of the Eternal Sleepers will eventually forget what happened to Orlandale, and the Augustans will also think that there can be no survivors in the event that the entire city collapses, and with the technical conditions at the time and the chaos after the relocation of the capital, they should not have the ability to examine the situation deep underground- This terrible event, which has the potential to leave a stain on the royal family, will be buried, and everyone will forget about it, and even if anyone remembers, the matter will never be acknowledged.

"On the other hand, later facts have proved that Emperor Typhon's judgment was actually very accurate - only two hundred years later, you 'researchers' who are not bound by law and morality have carried out a second 'divine disaster' on the spot, this time even a god of your own making.

"If I hadn't shown up, how much disaster would the upper storyteller have?

"I believe that the scale of the catastrophe is definitely worth it for the Typhon royal family to send their mage group to smash the entire Orlandale region and all of you with the Creation of Annihilation."

Megael III's starry body shrank, and his tone was full of helplessness: "...... Utterly ironic, irrefutable. ”

"So it all adds up to one word—" Gawain sighed softly, "yes." ”

Megaul: "......"

"We're not going to talk about it," Gawain shook his head and brushed the paragraph, "There's evidence now that your efforts to destroy the Vision didn't seem entirely successful—the gods' spiritual contamination remains, as evidenced by the curse of House Augustus. ”

"We suspect that the Vision escaped at the last moment of destruction, but after all, it was battered and could not return to the gods, so it became parasitic in the bloodline of Augustus," replied King Megael III, "and for two hundred years this curse has continued, neither strengthened nor weakened, and some of our archbishops, who have lived extended, have lived through the events of that year, and even consider it the price paid by the Augustan family's 'betrayal'...... Of course, after the events of the 'upper narrator', there should be some change in the mentality of this part of the archbishops, after all, the blow is too great. ”

Gawain now understands why the Archbishopric of the Eternal Sleepers is so determined to follow Cecil - his deterrence as an "extraterritorial wanderer" is only one of the reasons, and the rest is clearly related to the disaster in Orlandelle two hundred years ago.

Other than that, what he was most concerned about at the moment was the curse of House Augustus.

"Do you think it is possible for the Vision to recover and escape after entering the bloodline of House Augustus?" He frowned, and asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"It's very unlikely," replied Megael III, "that we have been paying attention to the curse of the House of Augustus, which has apparently become a pure, quasi-spiritual sequelae, and the 'divine part' of the curse can only get weaker and weaker as the bloodline is diluted and transformed from generation to generation." After all, the soul personality of mortals is far lower than that of gods, and the power of gods has been parasitic in mortals' souls for a long time, and is destined to continue to decline. Of course, it is only the 'divinity' in the curse that declines, the strength of the curse itself...... It doesn't seem to have diminished in the slightest in the past two hundred years. ”

"Yes......" Gawain said as if talking to himself, "Is it really so easy for things to do with God to die......
