Chapter 250: The Means of the Gods
After passing through the priest's guard, the party was able to see the means that the Light God Department had prepared to deal with the four dragons.
The world was stripped of its original color, and the colors corresponding to each god system were taken back by the gods, leaving only black and gray to fill the empty world.
"That makes sense. Leo said.
"I'm afraid that the vision of the peak of the world will be felt thousands of kilometers away, plus these four dragons are not disguised all the way, and even some deliberately create natural disasters, even you can guess the end of the four dragons, it is impossible for the Light God Department not to deduce the purpose of the four dragons. ”
Isenas didn't speak, which was kind of an endorsement of Leo's statement.
"Ente, do you recognize this thing?" For this world full of divine power, Leo couldn't see a reason, so he had to ask Ente for help.
"I'm sorry, but I've never heard of such skills or programs. "Ente looked much more shocked than Leo.
Leo was a little disappointed.
"However, I should be able to make some speculations about it. ”
The crowd perked up and gathered around Ente.
Ente saw that even Isenas looked attentive, and knew in his heart that his speculation might be the only source of information for the team, and he thought carefully about the words in his mind.
"I think I'll have to start with the source of the gods' power. ”
Everyone is a little more serious.
"Do you all remember? The three types of gods: natural gods, belief gods, and conceptual gods. ”
"The god of light, the god of the sky, the god of war, they all belong to the category of gods of faith. The divine power of the regional god is limited by the region to which it belongs, and the conceptual god is subject to the grandeur of the concept. The most striking feature of believing in God is that it is uncapped and unruly powerful, and the root of their strength lies in the size of their believers. Just like the god of war and the god of the sea, in reality, the sea is boundless, and a single wave can end countless wars, and the status of the god of the sea should be above the god of war. But in fact, the God of War firmly occupies the second chair of the Light God System, and the Sea God can only be reduced to the second echelon. ”
The reason for this is the believer. ”
"In addition to providing faith for the gods and allowing the gods to extract divine power from them, believers are also the basis for the existence of the gods, and the larger the number of believers, the more divine power the gods can hold. The more charisma can be given back to believers. ”
"If no one believes in a god, or if a god's followers are slaughtered, then the god is considered to have fallen, but conversely, if the god has fallen first, but there are still fanatical followers serving him, then the god is not dead. ”
"For example, the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of nature, although the two gods were defeated in the god war, one succeeded in regaining the godhood with the revival of the craftsman town and the dwarf of Istanbul with the help of the dwarf. “
Leo shook his eyes and said, "Aren't the gods immortal?"
"The gods at the top of the god system may be immortal, but the gods at the bottom have shallow foundations, and no one knows which battle will completely destroy their foundation in the mortal world, and they are the most feared gods. ”
Leo was still puzzled in his heart, and asked: "But if the gods can fall, the rules they represent will not die, right? Could it be that after killing the god of war, there will be no more wars and battles in the world?
"No, it was the god of war who ascended to the throne, not Arman, the god of war. Ente emphasized. "Although the rules of the old and new gods of war are the same type, but in terms of the specific type of expression, they will show different forms according to different doctrines, and the gods that appear later should be a replacement for the old gods. ”
Leo suddenly realized, that is, the gods are not the rules themselves, but only the endorsement of the rules, and only after one kind of endorsement completely disappears, can a divine kingdom be rebuilt on the ruins.
"It also seems to be a way to destroy hostile gods. Esenas thought for himself.
"Yes, this is the method used by the higher gods to support the lower gods of their own gods. ”
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "What about the Void and the End Spear, is it a weapon designed to kill gods?"
Ente hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the church's analysis, yes. The fundamental purpose of this weapon, which appeared in the era of the rise of the gods, was to provide the means for mortals to completely kill the gods, and the target of this weapon was likely to be the god king Willele. ”
"A great masterpiece of genius and madness. Isenas commented.
But for Ent, who regarded the gods as supreme, this weapon somewhat undermined his faith, and he nodded perfunctorily and continued, "Let's go back to the topic just now. ”
"In addition to extracting divine power from the power of faith provided by believers, the most important function is to build the kingdom of God. ”
"The kingdom of God is not only the residence of the gods, but also the weapons and shields of the gods, and the barracks of the gods, and the place where a steady stream of divine power is provided, no matter how you look at it, the kingdom of God is the most important thing for the gods. ”
However, the beliefs needed to build the kingdom of God still have special requirements, and the thinking of the living believers is erratic, and it will change with the active thinking of the provider, and if these beliefs are used to build the kingdom of God, the collapse of the structure of the kingdom of God is only a matter of a few days, so the construction of the kingdom of God requires the sublimation of the faith of the deceased. ”
"Souls who remain steadfast in their faith after a lifetime, who have died in battle for the gods, priests, priests, bishops, and ordinary believers, when they die, the source of faith they leave behind will fly to the gods to provide stable faith. If there are particularly pious and powerful souls, the gods will also transform them into heroic spirits, which is also the highest pursuit of countless believers. ”
Leo listened a little big, and said, "This is the legendary story of having to work for others when you die?"
Ente glared at Leo: "This is called fighting for ideals!
Leo hurriedly snorted, even if Ente no longer believed in the God of Light, this mode of thinking was still deep-rooted.
Ente continued: "The size and function of a kingdom of gods is the foundation of a god, and a kingdom of gods like the god of light may require the faith of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people to build. ”
"The faith of the dead is the best, but the faith of the living is not bad, and the war of the gods needs this fervent faith as a frontrunner. However, although I know that the faith of the living can also be used to attack, but the specific method is not clear, after all, this is a secret exclusive to the gods. ”
Leo nodded silently, digesting the concepts.
He didn't waste his energy on further analysis and speculation of intelligence, because there was a more suitable person in the team.
Isenus consciously took over the topic: "Judging from the current situation of these gods, these power of faith must have been used to attack, and as for how to use it, we don't have to care too much." ”
Leo nodded and said, "Indeed, the power of faith of these living people will not be used against us. ”
That's what it means. Isenus snapped his fingers. "I am more concerned about the original purpose of the faith of these living people. ”
"Since the faith of the dead can build an all-powerful kingdom of God, what about the faith of the living? Will they be a continuation of the kingdom of God? Like tentacles, they help the gods perceive the outside world. ”
"The gods claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, but why can they do this? I don't believe that there is information in this world that can be accurate for no reason, and I prefer that the gods have other means of surveillance. ”
"Remember the goddess of nature, who had been asleep for more than a hundred years, but during this time, what her followers saw and heard could be fed back to her. I didn't know how it worked, but now it's much clearer. ”
"Now, the gods have drained the power of faith here, which means that they have given up monitoring this area, if there are powerful legends or demonic beasts that come in, they can't send an oracle, so they have to build this defense line to prevent too powerful lifeforms from entering it and destroying their hunt. ”
Leo was a little glad and said, "It's good that we caught up." ”
Isenas agreed: "We've had good luck. ”
Ente's expression was still puzzled: "Although your logic is clear, I still can't figure it out. ”
He pointed to the gray and black world around him and said, "How did these gods drain all the colors?"
Isenas did not hesitate this time, and said affirmatively: "Because it is omniscient and omnipotent." ”
Seeing that Ente was still trying to ask a question, Isenas interrupted him.
"I know what you want to ask, a person will only have one faith, how can the gods be able to extract it from a person repeatedly?"
Enn nodded, this was what he cared about and was surprised by.
"That's your mistake. Isenas pointed to his head and said, "Human thinking is complex and diverse, and it is never controlled by a single emotion or thought. ”
"Just like you, although you once believed in the God of Light, can you say that you look down on the realm of the God of War? ”
In the same way, these believers have all kinds of desires, and when their presiding deity drains the power of faith from him, they retain other beliefs. The rest of the gods, with the help of the 'omniscient and omnipotent' scheme, exploited the believer little by little. ”
Isennas's explanation is reasonable and well-founded, completely breaking the lower limit of Ent's perception of the gods.
Everyone didn't rush, just quietly waited for Ente to digest these speculations that made his three views collapse.
"So. Ente looked sad and asked, "What are these believers like now? The Walking Dead?"
"Just check it out. ”
