Chapter 114: The Singer (4k)
Leon threw the problem to particle physicists and envoys rather freely, and he became the shopkeeper himself.
He is very confident that after solving the problem of Zhizi, human civilization will be able to easily overcome the difficulties in front of him.
The ape, who walks upright on both feet, is one of the most war-savvy races in the entire galaxy.
Leon looked through the information provided by the Zetarians, and sure enough, most alien civilizations only have hundreds or thousands of species on their budding planets, and a little more can have tens of thousands of species.
The alien intelligent races that grew up in this environment do not have a deep understanding of the feeling of "struggle", and even the infighting between races is kept at a low intensity.
The Earth, with millions of species coexisting at the same time, is a very different story.
A thriving and diverse ecosystem brings more variables and competition, and humans who have grown up on the blue planet have the blood of other species exuding blood in every pore.
Mankind's attainments in the field of struggle have always been spiraling.
Hunting, hunting, extermination. In ancient times, humans, who drank blood, were able to kill large beasts such as mammoths and saber-toothed tigers to extinction.
Evolving into a slave society and a feudal society, the cruel nature of human beings was released, and on the premise of ensuring absolute superiority over other species, they fought against their fellow human beings, and large-scale slaughter was not uncommon.
In modern times, the art of human warfare has been said to be at its peak, and arms warfare has led to the development of a variety of high-efficiency weapons, and the sharpness of the "spear" far exceeds the solidity of the "shield".
Not only the advancement of the machinery of war, but also the concept of war is developing all the time. Guerrilla warfare, storming fortifications, blitzkriegs, movement warfare, positional warfare, and even economic warfare and public opinion warfare......
Compared with the extraterrestrial civilization, the extreme fanaticism of human beings in the field of struggle seems so frenzied, as long as the latter is given a certain amount of time, it can achieve overtaking in corners with a development speed far exceeding the former.
Of course, height determines vision, and Leon's positive conclusions come from his own technical prowess. And for human civilization, the chances of winning a full-scale war with an alien civilization where everything is unknown with no end in sight are still somewhat slim.
Capitulationism is inevitable, and even the absolute elite of various countries, such as the envoys of various countries, do not have much confidence.
Perhaps before the murderous alien fleet enters the star system, the human race on Earth will be divided into peace talks, escapes, and main war factions - there is nothing new under the sun, and there will be no shortage of "compradors" who sell the interests of the nation, the state, and the race in order to consolidate their position and power.
And Leon has no intention of teaching human civilization personally, the upcoming interstellar war is both a crisis, an opportunity, and a test.
Will humanity collapse first under heavy pressure, or will it shed its last drop of blood in great difficulty, or will it be reborn in the hazy stardust that pervades the solar system, incarnate seven billion mad dogs, slaughter all directions, and spread the will of mankind throughout the galaxy....
In this regard, Li Ang is very much looking forward to it.

“.... I have to say that the humans of Midgard are indeed ahead of us in terms of playwriting. ”
Thor, the former prince of Asgard, the right-hand man of the Avengers, and the Norse god of thunder, was holding a copy of "The Song of the Nibelungen" and muttered casually: "Although the 'mythical epics' recorded by mankind are quite different from the reality we have experienced, there is not much fallacy in the overall direction. ”
Thor's location,It's a special cell in the underground base of the school city.,Thanks to his past experience of helping the earth.,Plus a good attitude of confession.,Able to deeply reflect on his own mistakes.,So he saved a lot of prison suffering.,Even able to enjoy a very good life in the prison room.。
And in the cell next to him, Loki, the god of lies and treachery, also holds a book about Norse mythology and reads, while taunting: "Don't forget, brother, the faith we spread among the world has long since died, and the peoples who once worshipped us have now forgotten us completely."
The Asgardian faith may well be less than some of the fledgling religions of the world. ”
Speaking of this, Rogie closed the book with a "snap", poked out a white and clean forehead from behind the page, and said indifferently: "By the way, do you remember those gods who were contemporaries of Asgard? ”
"Uh... You mean Olympus? Thor scratched his chin covered with cyan stubble and said casually, "Aren't they in our cell downstairs?" The last time the prisoners went out into the open-air playground as a group, I saw Hercules.
Speaking of Hercules, he is also miserable, he has a collar around his neck, and his divine power has been blocked, but he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he has conflicts with other mortals in the world, thinking that he can continue to be powerful.
As a result, the fighting skills he mastered were wiped out in the face of absolute size and strength superiority.
was hoisted and hammered by a mutated shark man who was nearly four meters tall, and almost even the shit in his intestines was hammered out, and he was miserable. ”
Having said that, Thor didn't have the slightest sympathy on his face, but instead smiled evilly, and said: "Didn't you see wow, Zeus and Apollo are standing on the side, they don't dare to say, their eyes are wide,
In the end, the helpless gods of Olympus still found a demigod son born to Poseidon and Gaia, the mother of the earth, and asked the giant god, who was also not in human form, to snatch Hercules from the shark-man. I estimate that if it's a little later, the shark man will not only beat Hercules, you must know that the shark man also has an estrus period~~"
As he spoke, Thor rolled his eyes, as if imagining Hercules wrestling passionately with the Shark Man, and let out a strange "hey, hey, hey" laugh from his mouth.
The corners of Loki's eyes twitched, this brother of hers was really naturally positive and optimistic, even if he was imprisoned in prison.
"An orangutan is an orangutan, no matter how big the muscles are, no matter how strong they can fight, they are still orangutans." Rocky imagined the stupidity of her brother in the next cell, and said with disdain: "As long as you feed him bananas intermittently, even if you put him in a cage, he can gladly accept it." ”
Having said that, Rogie didn't give up on the idea of communicating with Thor - who kept her locked up next door to an admirer of Murphytos? That guy couldn't even speak, he could only babble a lot of inexplicable magic changes to the Bible.
"When I say 'Asgardian contemporaries,' I'm not Olympus."
Rogie sighed and said, "I mean the Babylonian gods, the Egyptian gods, and the farther South Asian subcontinent gods. ”
“..... Oh, they. Thor thought for a long time before he found the relevant memories from his not very large brain capacity, pursed his lips, and said casually: "Didn't they perish long ago because of the failure of human faith." ”
"That's right."
With a snap of her fingers, Loki slowly moved to the wall of the prison cell, and whispered through the wall: "Unlike Olympus, Asgard, and even Jotunheim, the gods of Babylon bind their fate to mortals on earth.
As long as the god-worshipping kingdoms of the human world do not die out, and the god-worshipping mortals still exist, then the gods of the god-worshipping system will not die—no matter how many god-fighting wars they go through. ”
Thor thought about it carefully, and carefully closed the "Song of the Nibelungen" in his hand, while not forgetting to clip a bookmark between the pages, ".... It seems to be true. ”
Rocky smiled and said quietly, "The Babylonian culture is inherited from the Sumerian-Akkadian culture, and the gods it worships are still those gods.
But with the passage of time, those high gods also changed their status because of the decline and rise of their respective beliefs.
For example, during the Akkadian Kingdom, the original god of heaven was replaced by Annu, and the god of agriculture, Dumz, was replaced by Tamuz.
For mortals, it is just a change of name, but for gods, it means the fall of the godhead and the decline of their own strength.
The ancient Babylonian gods bound themselves to mortals for eternal life, and although they gained greater power, once they lost their mortal faith, they quickly perished. ”
“...... Hmm,"
Thor scratched his ears, slurped, and said softly, "I remember seeing in the history of my family that when we were conquering the Nine Realms, we also wanted to absorb the beliefs of other worlds when we were conquering the Nine Realms.
You must know that there are hundreds of millions of living beings in the entire Nine Realms, and if you scavenge all these beliefs, then you can pile up several Heavenly Father-level powerhouses.
It's just that the god king at that time, our grandfather Bauer, realized the long-term drawbacks of believing in the god system and didn't do that. ”
Speaking of this, Thor couldn't help but be a little curious, he put the book aside, also moved to the edge of the wall, and said to Rogie through the wall, "By the way, why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”
“....”
Luo Ji squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment before she said slowly to Thor: "Although the belief in the god system has huge drawbacks, the advantages of 'quick results, great potential, broad prospects, and diverse sources' are also worthy of our reference.
You know the magic collar around our necks, right? It can block our own cycle of divine power, so that we cannot perform divine magic, not even augment our own body with divine power.
But if we use the belief god system, we can use the power of faith in the outside world for our own use, ignite the divine fire, and seal the gods again. ”
"What, what?!"
Thor couldn't believe his ears for a moment, he stood up suddenly, shoved his head as far as he could into the iron railing of the cell, looked to the left and right, and after making sure that there were no inspectors, he slowly sat down again.
“..... Rogie, don't do anything stupid. ”
Thor swallowed and whispered, "You want to spread your faith in the underground prison and regain your godly status by gathering the power of faith from other transcendents, right?"
If a transcendent person with special abilities truly worships a god, the power of faith he can provide will also increase exponentially.
With precise calculations, it only takes a small percentage of the transcendents in the underground prison to worship you, and it is enough for you to have the strength of the past.
You are a god of treachery and lies, able to deceive the transcendent into worshipping you through subtle words, and with the slightest divine power, you can quickly snowball.
If you find more allies, such as Asgard, Olympus, and Jotunheim, all the gods of these three gods will strategize and cover for you,
You can do this without even the school city surveillance system noticing. ”
“!!!”
Luo Ji in the next cell raised her eyebrows, put down the book, pressed it on her thigh, and said with some surprise: "When did you become so smart?" Are you still the Thor I knew? ”
Thor jerked his face and said in a deep voice, "Just because I don't like to think doesn't mean I can't think." Rogie, I advise you to give up this bold idea as soon as possible.
Like you, I want to get out of here as soon as possible, and if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of breaking free, I will not sit here and be a golden retriever in a cage.
However, how complete is the security system of the underground prison in the school city, even if you can collect divine power and become a god again, what qualifications do you have to escape?
You must know, if nothing else, just a Saya complete body that can multiply infinitely is not an existence that a single Heavenly Father level can deal with.
What's more, no matter how much you scavenge the belief of the transcendental, it is impossible for you to increase to the level of Heavenly Father. ”
Rockie was about to speak, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Thor, "I know what you want to say, Rockie, I'm still me, not a robot with a super high IQ produced in the school city." ”
Rockie was stunned for a while, until Thor couldn't help but say, "Hello? Rogie, are you still there? Only then did he come back to his senses.
"I can't imagine that you, a golden gorilla, will evolve one day."
Rocky put her head on the wall of the prison cell and said with a smile: "You guessed right, I wanted to carry out the plan of the faith gods, but I didn't think about escaping from prison.
I'm not stupid, even Odin, Zeus, and Laufey, the three Heavenly Father-level existences, were easily defeated by Leon, even if I barely escaped, I would be arrested quickly, and I would have to face even harsher prison conditions at that time. ”
Thor was a little confused this time, and said hesitantly, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"I plan to participate as a volunteer in one of Dr. Harry Quinn's research projects, where I will be able to realize my faith in God."
Luo Ji said calmly: "I don't know if you have heard, 'Idol Singer Project'. ”
