Chapter 557: City of the Gods

The shadow has begun to adjust to a new life. New gods, old gods, and the war to come. The only thing that puzzled him was, what kind of role did he play?

He knew he wasn't ordinary, maybe he was some god or something. But he has never been able to take the initiative to show his extraordinary side. This made him uncertain about his conjecture again. And Wednesday, after coming to his senses, returned to that ambiguous state. What do you hint at from time to time? But the killing will not be clear.

The shadow can only helplessly wander around the United States with Wednesday. More and more of the Old Gods responded to Wednesday's recruitment. Even some of the ancestral spirits of the Indians expressed their willingness to participate in this war. SBC is horrified to discover a problem. Although for a long time, the Old Gods were invisible. But in the face of a real crisis, the power shown began to make the new gods restless.

Although they still hold countless human technological weapons in their hands, they always have the power to burn this jade. But it's hard to say if there is any of the old gods who can just restrain this method. After all, the existence of gods and spirits itself represents a kind of transcendence.

By this time, the chaos in the United States had spread throughout the Americas. The helplessness of the people, and the fishing of violent elements in troubled waters. The entire American continent is on the verge of collapse. The government has noticed something unusual. The spread of chaos has gone a little too far. And under the strong repression of the violent sector. Far from being undiminished, crime has not decreased. And it's growing rapidly. Unconsciously, an irritable, repressed mood spreads throughout the continent.

Deep in everyone's heart, there is a kind of restlessness. I can't wait to smash the computer in front of me, punch the guy in front of me, and even stab the picky boss to death. This restlessness was temporarily suppressed by the reason in my heart. But it is slowly gathering energy, waiting for the moment to erupt.

In the New York Police Department, chaos is raging. Gang members covered in tattoos are shouting frantically in the police station.

"The god of chaos is coming, and the earth will return to chaos. No one is immune to the cataclysm. Only by confusion of faith can we live forever......"

A police officer can't stand this phenomenon anymore. picked up the baton in his hand and gave him a hard blow. The gang member was silent on the spot. The strange thing is that there were no big waves in the police station in this violent scene. Everyone should do what they should do, as if it should be. There were even a few police officers muttering, as if complaining about themselves, why didn't they take the first step and give the guy a blow.

"This is already the sixth. It's as if they've been brainwashed by some kind of cult. Crazy shouts for the arrival of the god of chaos. But we have not found the source so far. ”

"According to the latest reports, similar situations have occurred in Chicago, Los Angeles, and even Washington. Overnight, the world became a stranger. I can't believe what the hell is going on. ”

The sheriff scolded a little anxiously. With a wave of his hand, he swept the coffee cup in front of him to the ground. But then he came back to his senses. His face was cloudy and he looked at his hands.

"Let's all go out, I need to be quiet."

……………………………………

"This is the latest report, and a similar symptom is occurring across the country. Almost all the citizens fell into a state of restlessness. It's unusual, like some kind of collective hysteria. Now we have reached some kind of tipping point. It's like a full oil drum that is about to overflow.

If we can't do an effective channeling, then we only need a spark. will cause a violent explosion. It would be a nationwide riot. The most terrifying thing is that under the influence of herd psychology and group effect. They won't even know what they're doing? It will only blindly destroy. This country, order, law, will be torn to shreds. No one is immune.

As weird as it is, I'll say it anyway. It's like the end of the world. Our world is sick, and we need to find a way to cure it. ”

"Have you noticed a problem that doesn't seem to be happening in this base? I spoke to Washington. Even though it was a video call, I could still feel that the guys at HQ were a little emotionally unstable. But we don't have any problems here. ”

β€œ....... Indeed, we seem to be very special here. ”

"No, it's not that we're special. It's a special person who has been here before. The magician, Wade. ”

"It was an impressive scene. He just walked straight out. But all the guards were as if they couldn't see it. There was not the slightest reaction. To be honest, I think a couple of old guys in the safe house were scared by that scene. For three whole days, they didn't step out of the safe house. ”

"Although somewhat out of place. But I still have to say that I don't resent that scene. At least they didn't push me and continued with that conversation. ”

"But I think you should still give it a try. I'll admit that we don't have the slightest solution when it comes to technology. There is no single technology that can cope with this situation, and perhaps we will have to rely on magic to solve the problem in the end. I can't believe I'd say that. ”

"But no matter what the action, we can't get around Wade. He knows the rules of that world better than we do. Do you know where he is now? ”

"He didn't hide his whereabouts, we kept them under control. He's in Mexico now, in a place called Teotihuacan. ”

"......What is that?"

"He also has a name that will interest you."

"Tell me about it."

………………………………….

Shadow didn't expect that his journey would go beyond the United States and into Mexico. This ancient city called Teotihuacan. It is an official tourist area in Mexico. It is said to be the ruins of a castle thousands of years ago. It has tall pyramids and neatly built cities.

The old city is now one of the few ruins left. However, these remaining ruins reveal a complete construction process and reasonable urban planning. Teotihuacan is said to be a city capable of accommodating more than 200,000 people. At that time, it could have been called a megacity.

Throughout the ancient city, there are many hawkers. They peddle some obsidian products to tourists. All kinds of souvenirs of the sun god and the moon god. However, there are a very small number of local natives who sell some of the more bizarre carved images of the upper feather fan, the middle snake body, and the lower snake head.

Shadow bought one with some curiosity and played with it in his hand. Wednesday's eyes narrowed slightly. But what was not said in the end?

Shadow felt a little depressed. For some reason, as soon as he entered this ancient city, he felt a vague sense of depression. But when he focused on sensing, there was nothing missing. And strangely, when it bought the statue of Quetzalcoatl, that sense of depression actually disappeared. It made him feel a little strange and wanted to ask about Wednesday. But thinking of Wednesday's answer, I finally held back.

During this time of getting along, Shadow has long figured out Wednesday's character. If you ask him, it is estimated that it will be another ambiguous chatter.

"Don't be so surprised, Shadow. History as you know it is nothing more than stories made up by victors among mankind. The real history is hidden in the long river of time. Only eternal beings can peek into the whole picture. Look here, do you know what kind of place God is? ”

"It's an ancient city called Teotihuacan."

"Teotihuacan? Hehe, that's what humans call it. In fact, I prefer to call this the City of the Gods. You know? People say it was founded thousands of years ago. But I can tell you for sure that the city is much older than you might think. It's just that the mortals don't want to admit that they're too far behind here. ”

"City of the Gods. Are there a lot of gods here? Are we looking for a helper here? ”

"There aren't many, there's actually only one god here. It is called the City of the Gods because the ancient gods used to gather here. To seal the god, Quetzalcoatl. ”

"It's the feathered basilisk that the Indians believed in. Is it special? ”

"No, it's just a distorted image. The real Quetzalcoatl God has never even been seen by me. And yes, it's very special because it's not from this continent. It is an outsider, a divine creature from the East. You're wrong, it's not just Indians who worship Quetzalcoatl. In ancient times, all the races on this continent took Quetzalcoatl as their totem. ”

"But I don't think many people know about it now."

"That's because the gods have put a lot of effort into cleaning up the believers of Quetzalcoatl. And certain modifications were made to this continent. Causing a large number of foreign gods to enter the continent. The complicated belief system has completely diluted the belief in Quetzalcoatl. It is only then that it is gradually forgotten. ”

"The gods fear it?"

"Yes, it's not like all the gods. Even if it is forgotten, it can still survive. Perfect Flesh, Great Strength. Compared to it, the gods seemed so shabby. ”

………………….

The dwarf demon and Lin Xuan, who were far away in New York, were paying attention to Shadow and Wednesday's every move through Lin Xuan's spell.

What do they say again? Why I've never heard of Quetzalcoatl. ”

"Like Wednesday said, because the gods fear it. They don't want its name to be mentioned. They want it to be forgotten? ”

"Boss, you seem to know Quetzalcoatl well. Can you tell me a little bit about it? ”

"Not as understanding as you might think, and when I first heard the name, I just thought of a very old legend. Then I figured it out myself and finally figured something out. Very interesting thing. Do you know why the gods fear Quetzalcoatl? ”

"Because it's so strong that it can survive without faith?"

"Hehe, that's just an excuse. In the time of Quetzalcoatl, the weather was smooth and the people lived in abundance and well-being. In this case, as Wednesday said, all races worship Quetzalcoatl. Any idea what that means? ”

"The scramble of believers?"

"There is no contention. Because there are no other believers on this continent. Since ancient times, the wars of faith have been bloody, violent, and exterminating. With such a huge continent and so many potential believers, the gods couldn't get the slightest bit of soup. Of course they won't be happy. And then there was the later joint seal.

The so-called City of the Gods is because the gods once joined forces to set a seal here. Suppressed the original Quetzalcoatl. Ironic, right? This may be the only god on the continent who truly cares about the believers. But among that group of traditional deities, it's just too different. Otherwise, the gods could no longer tolerate it. As long as Quetzalcoatl exists for a day, compared to it, all the gods are like evil gods, useless. So they became angry. ”

……………………………………

In the center of TeotihuacΓ‘n, is a huge pyramid. The nearly 100-meter-high pyramid has hundreds of staircases. However, this kind of staircase is not comfortable to walk. Because the span of each floor is more than double that of a normal staircase. Therefore, it is extremely uncomfortable for normal people to get up. It is estimated that this kind of staircase should be prepared for humans who are more than two and a half meters tall. To put it simply, this is not a staircase for humans.

However, it has also become a tourist attraction here. Climbing this staircase has become a challenge for tourists. It's just that among all the enthusiastic tourists, there is one figure that stands out a little special.

His face was serious, and he didn't look like he was there to play. His hands were empty, and his body was slightly fat. But it's not ugly overall. On top of that, he doesn't look like the other tourists have the same strain at all.

If you look closely, you will find that with every step he takes, his body seems to be dragged by an invisible evil force. Let him climb one step with ease. It looks light-hearted and spooky at the same time.

That man was Wade. At the beginning of the meeting with Lin Xuan, he got a lot of information. But Lin Xuan didn't get out of everything. After all, he was just a human mage with a little talent, and it was not worth Lin Xuan's great effort. However, after gaining power, Wade seems to have activated some kind of hidden attribute. Shows an amazing talent for the protagonist, through the cooperation with General William. and the news revealed by Lin Xuan. He managed to lock down the duo of Shadow and Wednesday.

Lin Xuan had once told it that there was a god who was on the side of humans. Find him, wake him up, and save the world. Now, Wade feels like he's very close.
