Chapter 163: The Old Gods
Ten minutes later.
Sending off the two of them, who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, but who seemed lost because they couldn't make a choice, Erica returned contentedly, and then walked through the sprawling, labyrinthine dungeon to the core.
Although it is only the first phase of the project, the kind that can be completed quickly in three days, it is definitely not a tofu scum project. The magically hardened steel, the whole rock that the machine has hewn and carried, the soil that has been reinforced and compacted by surgery......
The whole is organically combined, and it seamlessly constitutes this magnificent and huge city, with more than a dozen floors above ground and dozens of floors underground, layer upon layer, incomparably solid and incomparably huge.
I'm afraid that even an eight-magnitude earthquake can't shake the foundation, at most it can only destroy some corners and corners, for people in this era of this world, this is a super giant war fortification fortress that will never fall.
- Of course, in a sense it fell from the beginning......
The buildings below are more than ten times larger than those above ground, but the central areas are overlapping. The manifestation is that in the center of the earth is the towering tower, and at the top is the throne room, where the king overlooks everything around him, providing an excellent view.
The bottom runs through the underground, leading to the core of the dungeon, the Grand Temple, which is hidden at the deepest level.
The surrounding granite is squarely piled up into the walls, and the dome seems to be a whole piece of rock cut by a knife and axe, there are no vivid murals, no delicate and magnificent columns, but there is a real and sacred atmosphere.
The entrance to the Grand Temple has an extremely powerful barrier, and it is double-layered, both of which come from someone's extension of power over the mirror realm.
One is the transfer, the other is the reflection.
Those who are not allowed to pass through the barrier without permission will not be able to enter the Grand Temple, but will be transferred to another mirror space.
Unauthorized attackers will appreciate the concept of 100% physical and magical reflections.
Of course, it's not absolutely rigorous and invulnerable, after all, it's just someone's divine power, neither the body is here, nor even the manifestation of the extension of power, so it's always limited in strength.
It's just that considering the specific situation of this world, it is impossible to encounter an enemy who can understand the divine will at the beginning. And if there is any enemy in the early stage, they can cut melons and vegetables all the way to the Knights, kill the Wyvern, break through the blockade and kill all the way to the Grand Temple......
Then don't play it, if such a ruthless person is not descended by the true god, then he is definitely the son of the plane, the kind of luck added by the whole world.
Of course, if such a thing happens in the later stage, then no one will have anything to say, after all, it is impossible to expect to say that you cut the flesh with a blunt knife and cut people to blood, and people will not notice.
The ultimate existence of this world will definitely cast its sights over, but at that time, his side will also play all the hole cards, soldier to soldier, general to general, king to king......
It is said that the "King of Swords" is already eager to try, after all, it is difficult to find an opponent, there are not many places on the earth suitable as a battlefield, and his demonic sword that cuts through everything in this world has not many opportunities to wield.
It is an invincible edge that cuts through everything on the earth, and the power of the gods that can be cut open by a single blow, whether it is the sky or the sea.
The other world is the most suitable battlefield, everyone is thinking about how to soften too much, how to win over the division, how to tie the gods of the other world to the chariot, but Tony is full of thoughts -
"It's better if all those guys adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, so that there is a reason to fight one by one."
Non-violent non-cooperation was meant to be a non-violent refusal to cooperate, but under his tendon understanding, it seems that this means that the other party will not cooperate without violence.
Erica didn't comment on this, after all, no matter how you say it, it was also the former co-master of the southern European magic world, and she just entered the Great Temple with brisk steps.
The inside of the main temple was empty, and there were pale flames suspended above, providing enough light and an eerie atmosphere, and the girl felt as if she had gone out at noon on a hot summer day, and then walked into a large air-conditioned shopping mall in the heat.
As soon as I walked into it, I felt the temperature in the air plummet, not cool, but bone-chilling, as if it was a merciless breath of dark death...... In fact, it is.
In the center of the temple is a large circular altar, and the shrine above it is dedicated to the black god of the biting snake, which seems to emit an infinite aura of darkness and death, and dominates the immortal god of the underworld and the earth.
Erica is no stranger to this kind of aura, she often feels it from Mo Chen's body, but that guy is deliberately restrained, and he can only detect it when he is close to a very close distance.
And now, the shrine is not really here, it is just equivalent to a "base station", and naturally there will be no consciousness, so that cold aura is emanating without difference.
The blonde girl took a deep breath, although she was a little uncomfortable, but she had indeed gradually become accustomed to this kind of aura, and her physique had also improved recently, and the aura alone was not enough to pose any threat to her.
This matter is very important, if the gap between each other is really too big, then there is no possibility of coming together at all, and if you can't even bear the breath of the other party, then what else is there to say?
I have to say that she is indeed worthy of the title of genius witch, and she is growing up rapidly with the experience of facing this level of existence every time she uses it as food. Even if ordinary people have experienced the horror of gods or demon kings, they don't dare to say that they won't be afraid next time.
It is still fear that should be feared, this is a biological instinct.
But Erica is now completely accustomed to this level of coercion, as long as the other party does not deliberately suppress people, she even has the courage to draw her sword and fight...... Of course, just having the courage to fight does not mean that you have the ability to change the outcome.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem here, the blonde girl did not leave in a hurry, but stared at the shrine symbolized by the "snake" with a slightly complicated expression.
The "King of Swords" didn't come, and that person naturally didn't come either, mainly because their existence of this level was too conspicuous, and it was easy to attract the attention of the gods of the other world at the first time.
However, the man had to project his power over it, Erica didn't understand what he meant by "First Fire" as he explained to herself, but vaguely knew that only if this shrine existed in this world, certain rules would extend.
For example, the power of miracles, which seems to be very close to the divine magic bestowed by the gods, tells the story of the deeds of the gods, and each miracle is a prayer and a recitation of the deeds of the gods.
But if there is no certain rule in this world, then the power of miracle is equivalent to the skill icon is gray, and the power is still there, but the correct way to release it has been lost.
Or should I say - the world's runtime does not support such programs.
Unless painstakingly modify the structure to give it a new form of existence. Otherwise, there is really no difference between having and not having this power.
Therefore, this great temple is indeed the core, the foundation of their colonization in this alien plane, and when she commanded and urged those magicians to work before, Erica was not talking about it, but telling the truth.
If there was no such great temple, I am afraid that even she would not feel at ease.
However, those magicians only built the Great Temple, but they didn't know what the interior was like, and even thought that it was simply to worship some secret high-level holy relics, and use the wisdom and divine power left by the ancient gods as a trump card.
After all, the interior of the temple was completely arranged by Erica herself.
It is precisely because of this that the blonde girl has such a complicated expression at the moment, because she knows that this temple is really a temple, and it is the holy emblem of that guy......
The Godslayer accomplishes miracles that cannot be replicated and usurps the power of the gods.
It is almost equivalent to directly fusing the mythological concept of the god killed, and also becoming a god, but in the end, some things are still different, and the god killer is not a real god.
Therefore, the scene in front of her eyes is really difficult to explain, unless-
"No wonder I can't find out your details, it turns out that you are neither a new king who has risen recently, nor a past god killer...... Is it the deity of some disobedient god? ”
The girl lowered her head and pondered, she decided that the other party had been using a fake identity all along, and she was afraid that not that name was fake.
"Do you need to hide your name because you can find clues in myths and legends? However, gods with multiple complex attributes are often the main gods or even god-kings in a mythological system, and perhaps because of the changes in mythology, they may even hold an important position in multiple mythological systems......"
This situation is actually quite common, after all, myths are everywhere -
For example, Hercules, a rugged hero dressed in lion's fur and holding a club...... and Mercato, a heroic god who is represented as a man with a stick and has a strong fighting spirit......
These two are actually the same Godhead, to be precise, the latter is the origin of the former, and the former is the differentiation of the latter.
The ancient people of the Mediterranean also named the headland of the Strait of Gibraltar the "Pillar of Hercules", but no one other than the Phoenicians seemed to have been able to reach it at that time......
Mythology is related everywhere, and no one will know how many vests a powerful main god has, not only in his own mythological system, but also in other mythological systems.
However, it is often such a main god who will have a variety of complex attributes, think about how many divine realms that guy has shown?
Night, Death, Dreams, Storms, Thunder, Flames, Dark Moons......
And maybe this is only part, not all, Erica tried to recall, but she was not able to correspond this information to any myth, or the myth was distorted in the process of circulation, and lost its original appearance.
Either the divinity of the other party is already an extremely ancient legend, and the mythology summarized by the modern mystical side has no record of this ancient god.
Anyway, Erica felt that she had discovered that guy's secret, although the other party didn't seem to intend to hide it from her...... It made her feel complicated.
