Chapter 32: Love in the Forest
"At that time, the gods were wandering the destruction space in the usual form of carbon-based creatures. Roland didn't pay much attention to what he had just said, and continued to recall, "It was the first time we had seen a carbon-based creature, but since we had met the Soul Clan warrior before, and he described the characteristics of carbon-based creatures for us, we were not surprised by this strange appearance, we only felt anger, so we joined forces to attack her. β
Shul was not surprised at all, this was an inevitable result.
Experiencing the pain of the destruction of his homeland, enduring the remorse of betraying his race, and wandering in this dangerous space full of despair. At this time, I happened to meet a foreign race that I had only heard of in legends, leisurely walking in such a terrifying space, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to feel that this is a normal phenomenon, and the reaction of the vast majority of people is probably instinctive, and she is the first time to regard her as the mastermind behind the destruction of her homeland, and it is a matter of course that it ends in conflict.
"But the outcome of the battle was not what we expected. Roland's streamer hung down weakly, "That's not a fight at all." β
"Oh?" Shuer frowned, looking incomprehensible, as if he really didn't know anything about the gods, "The gods you are talking about, the combat power is really so strong, that you can't resist? I think your technology level is higher than ours, how can you ......?"
"You still don't understand, I said, it's not a battle at all. Roland made a sneering gesture and said self-deprecatingly, "Seeing your performance, I recalled my previous mentality, yes, I didn't understand at the time, why our attacks didn't have any effect on her, all the attacks went directly through her body, and she was like she didn't exist at all." β
"Huh?" Shul raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, but in his heart, he was far from showing such calm, Roland's words made him think a lot.
In fact, unless the gods are descended into mortal bodies, it is impossible for mortals to attack the gods, which is determined by the characteristics of the gods themselves. However, not only that, if mortals vainly try to attack the gods, the effect of the attack will be directly reflected in the mortals themselves, that is, the origin of the saying that throwing a fist at the gods will only reap the consequences, and they will also face the blow of divine punishment, which is determined by the common rules of the worlds that distort the void, unless it is like the king of the dragon clan who challenged the god of war Fergus back then, he already has a certain divinity to avoid this consequence.
However, in Roland's narrative, they did not attack Anika's body, but they were not damaged, let alone suffered the blow of divine punishment, which is very interesting, I am afraid that there is really no rule in the rift space, and even the most basic rules of distorting the void cannot take effect, but even so, the gods are not something that mortals can challenge at will, and mortal weapons still cannot offend the majesty of the gods.
"But even if we were so reckless, the gods didn't blame us, she didn't even fight back, she just stood still and watched us attack, and then we heard her voice. β
"Voices? Do you understand? And you can hear voices inside the source of disaster?"
"Of course, mortal voices cannot be heard, but the gods have abilities that mortals cannot match, and we not only hear them, but understand them. Roland was stunned as she recalled what had happened in the past, even though thousands of years had passed, that scene was still so clear in her memory, "Her voice was transmitted directly to our spiritual bodies, we didn't understand, but instinctively understood what she meant, and we really wanted our family's memory exchange, but it was more direct than memory exchange, and it was one-way selective." β
"Tsk, very interesting experience. Shuer deliberately made a surprised expression and said with interest, "What did the gods say?"
"She says she's not our enemy, just an explorer lost in the rift space, from the world of Pavatiga, a god of Pavatiga. "She said that we were the first creatures she had encountered over the years of being lost, and that she hadn't even encountered real matter, let alone creatures, before that, so she was interested in us and wanted to know what we had been through in the past, and maybe she could help us a little." We didn't trust her at the time, but we couldn't support it anymore, and there was no other way out than to need help, so we had no choice but to recount our experience to her. β
"Oh? including ......"
"Well, including, because the exchange of wills cannot be concealed, the so-called selectivity is also only the gods who have a choice, not us. "After hearing our story, she told us that she is also exploring the nature of the destruction of space, and although she has disconnected herself from Pavatiga, she does not know when she will return to Pavatiga, but she is still ready to continue her exploration, even if she will never be able to tell these things to the other gods in her homeland." At that time, we were really taken aback, the existence of gods was already exaggerated to us, but listening to her meaning, there were so many gods, it was unimaginable. β
"yes, it's unimaginable. "Shure is not exactly pretending, in fact, he understands Roland's contradictory views on the gods, although Shure's hometown world is also very backward, but it is said that there was a very advanced civilization, that is, the legendary last era, this generation of civilization was rebuilt on the basis of the previous era, and naturally inherited a lot of cognition left over from the previous era, including doubts about the gods, until a few years ago, after meeting Lisa, Lord Luna repaired his body and soul, Shul completely believed in the existence of the gods, so from a certain point of view, he and Roland's experience has many similarities, and it is inevitable that there will be resonanceγ
"After that, she knew that we had come to the end of the road and could not hold on any longer, so she took the initiative to protect us with her powers, and acted together for a while, during which she has been helping us, and invisibly, we have come to see her as everyone's patron saint. However, after a hundred years of wandering, we stumbled upon the fact that her strength was actually weakening, according to her own explanation, due to the disconnection with the source of Pavatiga's faith, she could not replenish the power of faith, so she would inevitably become weaker, but fortunately, the original connection with the other half of her body would not be severed, as long as the other half was not extinguished, she would not fall, at most she would just fall into a deep sleep. "I didn't understand what the gods meant, and I didn't understand what the other half meant. β
Well, you definitely don't understand, of course mortals don't know how to conceptually divide themselves into two halves, I'm afraid that under normal circumstances, most gods don't understand, that is, not so normal gods like Anika would come up with this way.
"Maybe it was because she had spent too much strength on us, she was weakening faster than she expected, and after decades of acting together, she suddenly told us that she couldn't hold on and couldn't continue to help us go on. Roland was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Everyone knows what that means, but no one has the right to blame her, she is the one who has allowed us to continue our lives for more than a hundred years, and if it weren't for helping us, she wouldn't have exhausted her strength so quickly." β
"We accepted this fate very calmly, thanked the gods, and said goodbye to her to leave, we hoped that without our drag, she could hold on longer, but she stopped us, she said that although she could no longer walk with us, she could give us a safe planet to live in the rift space. Rowland laughed self-deprecatingly, "Can you imagine how incredible we thought at the time? No one believed it, not even me, but right before us, a miracle happened, and from then on, we became her most staunch believers, although we did not understand what the power of faith was, and we were too few in number to provide a limited amount of what we could offer, but we decided that we would provide her with the power of faith for all generations until she was rejuvenated." β
"You mean this planet?" Shure asked, narrowing his eyes and thoughtfully, "a tree the size of a planet is indeed a miracle. β
"What if I told you that this is the nature of the gods?" Roland said, spinning his head a little excitedly, "Her original form is actually about the same size as you, but right in front of us, she changed from a flesh and blood body to a giant tree, and then it took a few days to grow into the planet you see, we don't know how the gods do it, but inside the planet, we can live a normal and safe life like in our hometown." β
"Well, I don't quite understand. Shuer looked puzzled, "You just met by chance, why did she do this?"
"We also used to ask the deity because we didn't understand why she was doing this. β
"Wait, ask the gods?" Shure interrupted Roland abruptly, "Isn't she already a ball...... Planet, how can you still ask?"
"The gods just turned their bodies into planets, and the will was not asleep for a period of time, and she could communicate normally, but she fell into a deep sleep, and it was only a matter of the past few hundred years. "The gods have told us that she can't bear to see us innocent in front of her, and that she has a mission to give us. β
"Oh?"
"She hopes that we can use our power to search the surrounding area regularly, rescue as many lost people as possible, and keep a little more fire for the worlds of the Twisted Void, maybe only in this way is the only way out for the worlds. β
"Huh?"
