Chapter Eighty-Six: Stalemate
Dozens of civilizations in the seven worlds, hundreds of millions of living beings among them, have been anxiously waiting for the results of the ritual.
Up to now, the ceremony has been going on for almost a day, according to the oracle of the Temple of the Gods before, although it is impossible to give the exact time of the entire ceremony, after all, there will be various unexpected disturbances, but if everything goes well, the ceremony can be completed in about a day, even if it doesn't go well, it shouldn't take more than two days to encounter various problems along the way.
Therefore, when the time gradually approached the theoretical minimum of completing the ritual, the intelligent beings in various civilizations began to be a little anxious, almost all civilizations and planets, the intelligent beings in them stopped working, and everyone sat in front of the display device, restlessly waiting for the notification that would appear at some point.
The show played on the device was very exciting and lively, but except for the children who were not familiar with the world, I am afraid that no one had the heart to enjoy it, and the audience's eyes constantly wandered between the timing device and the display device, and each time it changed, the fear and anxiety in the heart increased by one point.
It will definitely succeed, but what if it doesn't?
Will the world really be destroyed by this?
Were the previous calamities a sign of the end of the world?
Is there really no one who can survive? I don't want to die yet, I'm already religious, will the gods save me?
It's okay if we die, but the children are still young, they haven't enjoyed life yet, and if the ritual doesn't succeed, do they really have no chance of surviving?
Save our world, aren't the gods omnipotent?
Don't let me die so early, I promise that I will sincerely believe in you in the future, and you must save me.
Mr. Priest, you promised that everything will be fine, that we will never die in this disaster, and that you must keep your promise.
Miss Bishop, you have said that your brother is the best and will be able to protect my grandchildren and the children of the village through this crisis, and I have been persuading the people of the village to believe in you and not to let everyone down.
For a while, all kinds of thoughts filled the seven worlds, everyone was thinking about their hearts, everyone was waiting with anticipation and anxiety, but the pity was that they didn't know that their fate had been sent to the altar by the priest they trusted, and of course they didn't know, for the future fate of all civilizations in the entire rift space, including them, the two sides in the ceremony were fighting fiercely, and the struggle for control was becoming more and more fierce.
There was silence in the ceremonial arena all the time, and there had been no communication between the various temples for a long time, especially with the temples of the Darkmoon Church, and the communication silence had been imposed, and the clergy involved had never said a word, those who had tacit friends, friends who had raised a glass and had a drink, and who had talked and laughed happily, had not communicated since the beginning of the war.
Yes, what else is there to say, having come to this point, it is already pale to say anything, on this most fundamental issue, no one can retreat, then language is meaningless, except to embarrass everyone, it will not have any effect, in this case, it is better to be silent like this, silent engagement, silent to meet the result of the decisive battle, as for the specific result, leave it to time to decide.
Not only the clergy, but even the gods did not try to verbally argue with Shur anymore. There is no need for this, their respective intentions have been shown very clearly just now, even if there are still thoughts that have not been expressed, from the fierce battle, it is also clearly reflected, Shuer does not think that he has done anything wrong, and the gods do not think so, since no one can give in, then fight to the end.
As a result, this battle, which had no gunsmoke and no actual contact, became more intense.
The balance of victory has been tilting in the direction of the gods, but the war is far from over, although at the beginning, the gods advanced extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, they had already mastered seventy percent of the control of the ritual circle, which violently compressed the influence of Shuer, but with the reduction of the scope of control, Shuer's confrontation ability became stronger and stronger, and it has become quite difficult to continue to expand the results of the battle at a high speed as before, and in the last few hours, even if the gods join forces, they can only take back control from Shuer one percent of one hundredth, and sometimes if they are not careful, they will be taken away a little more by Shuerγ
As a result, it took the gods more than ten hours to finally grasp more than 90 percent of the control from the sneak attack war to the counterattack war, and then from the war of annihilation after the counterattack to the stalemate war, until it finally turned into a positional war. But none of the gods showed the joy of victory, not only because there was nothing to be happy about whether the war was won or lost, but more importantly, because they felt that something was not quite right, and that positional warfare seemed to have a tendency to turn towards siege warfare.
Well, yes, the gods have finally discovered that Shur seems to have hidden the most critical basic control point in the temple projection he has mastered, and if he wants to fully control the circle and save this ritual in extreme danger, he must attack the node under Shuer's control.
What a joke, it's too exaggerated.
The node mastered by Shuer is not just a ritual node, the special way of the Trinity, so that this star has become a part of the Dark Moon Goddess Luna's kingdom, the will of the gods wants to attack this node, the difficulty of directly attacking Luna's kingdom will be accompanied by huge consumption and a long process, but time will not stop passing for this, the gods only have one day left, and after a day, the energy breaks through the critical point, and everything comes to an end.
Of course, the gods can also choose to attack Luna-sama's kingdom directly from the world of the gods, but that is a war between the gods, which will inevitably be accompanied by a protracted confrontation, and it will not end in a day or two.
It's no wonder that this bastard will guide everyone to use this special way of the Trinity, presumably for the current scene, it can really be said that it is deliberate, the only thing that makes the gods feel happy is that it is not Luna but Shul who controls the node.
If Luna were in control, the gods would have no choice but to engage in a long war of attrition, but Shure was only a mortal after all, and he couldn't afford it, and this was the only chance for the gods to win. Thinking of this in unison, the gods joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the final node, and the collision of divine power once again filled the venue of the ceremony, and it was quite intense.
Shure knew that the other party had found the target and seen through his weaknesses, but he didn't show any countermeasures, because he couldn't take care of it, and he was now dealing with a more difficult problem, a huge trouble.
"I want to see my sister. At the height of the battle, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly sounded in Shure's temple, and Shure knew that it was the voice of Diana, the lady of the silver moon.
"Do you think it's possible, Lord Diana?"
"I want to see my sister. β
"Lord Diana, now that we are enemies, how can I believe you?"
"I want to see my sister. β
"It's useless even if you ask for that, and Luna isn't here. β
"I want to see my sister. β
"Uh, can you say something else?" Shuer felt a pain in his head, this goddess, are you still in your mind, "I really can't meet your request." β
"I want to see my sister. The first time Xiuer heard it, there was already a crying tone in Lady Yinyue's voice, "I don't believe my sister would do such a thing, I want to ask her in person." β
"I'm ......" Shuer suddenly realized that he didn't need a headache, because a familiar fluctuation of divine power disappeared in a flash, and then Lady Silvermoon's voice disappeared, it was obvious that a certain goddess had just appeared here, dragging her sister away by the way.
But then Shure couldn't laugh, because when he came back from the momentary distraction, he found that the power of the gods had come together and launched the most violent assault on the temple under his control.
"You must be here to make trouble!" Shure waved his fist at some point, but there was no other way but to force his spirits to meet the challenge of the gods.
