Chapter 52: The Controlled Deity
Remember [800โ Little รท Say โ Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Goddesses are not the only gods with black wings, but apart from the perception of demon kings who may have personal preferences, the black wings of goddesses are considered to be the strongest and most powerful wings by all gods.
"When you see it for the first time, you know its power." ใ
Valuto, the god of death, had told them that they might not have known much about it before, but when they actually saw the wings, they understood the power contained in them almost instantly.
It has a strong skeleton, there is no doubt about it. The strength of its flapping and the arc that it streaks through the air are testament to its supple support, while its pitch-black feathers make you want to indulge, and although it has a metallic sheen, it has a soft texture that makes it impossible to tell what it really looks like.
But none of this compares to the aura you feel when you see it with your own eyes. Every flutter of those wings brought with it a powerful wind, and when it really flapped, it seemed as if even the sky was going to be torn apart by it. The shadow it casts on the ground carries a devouring aura, and its momentum is so great that it seems to be able to destroy everything.
This is the power that humans possess as gods, and it is impossible for humans to resist.
And this is just the coercion that the gods naturally unleash there, if the gods really want to deal with anything, maybe just standing there will be swept into the storm and become shattered.
"So, you mean, that's the goddess?"
In Molfi's conference room, Hua Shao carefully recorded the feedback from the six people who returned from going out. Because of the use of "Fili", Reins still rested in bed, and Ella and Bora temporarily became the representatives of Fili's mercenary group.
"It's more likely to be a goddess." Kilde chose a rigorous statement, "After all, the characteristics of the goddess as we know it derive from that non-objective description, not from an objectively existing fact that is not easy to change." โ
"But combined with Rhine's view that it was the place where the goddess haunted, it is indeed very likely that it was the goddess." Hua Shao said thoughtfully, "Even if it's not a goddess, it's a god on the goddess's side." If it was 'Roseos,' I wouldn't have let you go there. As for whether it is a goddess or not, we can see the results of our installation later. One thing Rhines was certain of was that only the goddess would visit that crucial lake. Perhaps the aura left behind by the goddess when she was attacked was too strong for other gods to easily set foot in that area. โ
"It's like animals dividing their own territory?" After discovering that this sentence had elicited several unfriendly glances for him, Wokan quickly remedied, "I'm just making an analogy, it just doesn't sound good, and I'm sorry for that, I have infinite respect for any god except 'Roseos.' โ
"Does that include Figilio?" Unexpectedly, Hua Shao made a joke about them, "The way you get along with Figilio is not so distant. โ
"When you say that, I realize that I don't think of Figilio as a god anymore." "To me, he's just my friend's dad." โ
"It's not mine." Bianko quickly cleared up the relationship, "Mom hasn't accepted Phigie yet. โ
Hua Shao looked with a vaguely sympathetic gaze at the god who was standing in the corner of the room and was about to become the background, the man was looking at his "daughter" pitifully. It must be said that he really has no divine power in this appearance, and it is difficult to imagine that he is a god who has lived for thousands of years.
"Anyway, the identity of this deity is yet to be confirmed, so let's take a look at something else." Hua Shao changed the paper in front of him to the bottom of a stack of papers, "You hear a roar in the valley?" Is it a beast? Or was it something else? Is this certain? โ
"Unfortunately, we can't confirm it." Wokan spread his hands, "But we all thought it was the sound of the owner of the pair of wings. โ
Hua Shao raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, she jotted down this guess, and then stared at it and began to think.
"If it is the voice of the deity, then it may be concluded that the deity is indeed controlled by 'Roseos' in some way, and that it will also cause them pain." The dark-haired woman quickly judged, "This will at least rule out the subjective alliance between the goddess and Roses, which is what we have been praying for not to happen, and we will assume that this is good news." โ
"You guys have an optimistic brain, and it surprised me." "Generally speaking, the strategists in the family tend to make the most pessimistic plans in order to be able to deal with any eventuality. โ
"Maybe it's my credit." Huck cheekily said, "My optimism was contagious to her. โ
Hua Shao rolled her eyes and continued to write her thoughts on the paper in front of her.
Next, we have to explore whether the gods were completely controlled by Roseos or whether they were controlled while retaining their self-awareness. Of course, it may not be useful to know this, but it gives us a guide on how to deal with things. We need to inform the church โ speaking of which, is Mr. Hemiria back? โ
"I'm back." Jura looked at the communicator in her hand, "In order to hold Roses' attention, they deliberately went around for a while before coming back. Do you want them to come to the meeting room? โ
"No, not yet." Hua Shao turned the pen in his hand and said, "We will communicate with them after we straighten out the current situation." In addition to the current situation of the gods, we also need to understand how Roses controls the gods. According to the information provided by everyone in the Demon King Continent, it is impossible for Rossos to control all the gods with his own divine power alone, he can control one or two relatively weak gods at most. So, he must have used some kind of powerful way to achieve this goal. โ
"But the magic array in the ruins can't do this, right?" Lanoda asked, "From what we've learned before, those magic circles are used to 'awaken' the gods, which is probably not the same concept as 'control'. โ
"So there must be something else." Hua Shao affirmed, "If we can do something about that being......
"Terrible thoughts." "Something the gods have set up, maybe it's a magic circle, maybe it's an altar, and you want to destroy it. I'm sure most humans don't have the boldness of thinking like you, but that's probably why you've been able to unite with the mercenaries. โ
Hua Shao blinked and smiled.
"I'm sure you're complimenting me." She wittily remarked, "In Morfi, 'risk-taking' is always praised for behavior. โ
There was silence in the room for a few seconds, followed by loud laughter of varying heights.
On the other side of the Murphy base, the silver-haired mercenary lay pale on her soft bed, and although she seemed rather tired, she was in good spirits.
"Apaya." She shouted, "Apayaโ"
The blonde-haired engineer sighed not far away, and without looking back, he tapped the machine on the table that had been brought from his own bedroom, and let out a nonchalant "um".
"You're playing to me, Apaya." Reins complained dissatisfiedly, "I can only lie in bed and rest, and now you are still busy with your work and not accompany me." โ
Apaya pouted at the screen.
"Did I make you lie there?" He sarcastically asked, "Who has to do this?" โ
"That's also for the big game." Reins said as if singing, "It's for the good of Morfi, and it's for the good of our Fili." There is no real damage, just exhaustion from the stress that the soul is subjected to, and it is cost-effective to get some useful information at the cost of this level. Just like you've made the perfect project out of low-cost materials - once you've learned how to draw magic circles out of those magic juices, your combat machines will cost a lot less to defend. โ
"Don't change the concept." "At least my low cost won't make anyone unable to move while lying in bed." โ
"I can still move." Rhines provoked a thorn in his words, "As long as you can hold me." โ
"What's the difference between that and not being able to move?"
"If I really can't move, I can't do anything even if you hold me." Reins said confidently, "Or do you already dislike me?" Don't want to be with me anymore? โ
Apaya closed her eyes, closing the whites of her eyes in her eyelids.
"Then why should I move my job here?" He sighed and said, "I don't even go to the institute, Rhine." โ
He paused for a moment, and before Reins could reply, he moved on to something else.
"Mercenary, your menstrual period should be over. What got you into this disastrous conversation loop again? โ
Reins pursed her lips and threw the doll on the bed at Apaya.
"I can't do anything here, what can I do but talk to you?" She complained, "And you're always sitting there busy with your work." Do you want me to say something nice to you? Wouldn't your job be able to do without you? โ
Apaya sighed again, he stood up and picked up the doll that had fallen to the ground halfway through, and walked over to Rhine.
"What can I do with you here?" He asked, "Say, mercenary, at your command." โ
Rhines looked at him and stretched out her weak arms around Apaya's neck, and Apaya had to lean down to match her movements in order not to tire her out.
"Lie down here with me." "You've been looking at that broken machine for hours, and you don't get tired of your eyes," she commanded. โ
Apaya shook his head helplessly, and he took off his shoes, burrowed into the quilt of Rhine, and carefully held her in his arms.
"Yes."
