"What the hell is this?" Judy didn't know a lot about the inside story after all, unlike Shul who could react immediately, she looked at the metal ball floating in Mia's palm and asked suspiciously, "Can it represent the dignity of Pavadiga?"

"In a sense, yes. With a strange smile on his face, Shul nodded meaningfully, "With its presence, it will be much easier for the Pavatigars in the future." ”

"Explain. Judy frowned and said, "I still don't understand. ”

"We've been in contact with the Brown Star Civilization, we've seen the thousands of stars in the Void, we've heard of the shuttle-shaped individuals and the Eyes of the Void whose flesh spans the Rifts, we've seen images of giant insects fighting in the Void with ships as huge as planets, and most importantly, Miridy and I both know where the future holds. We know very well what a truly powerful civilization is like in the thousands of worlds that distort the void, gold, legend, no, it's just ants, maybe only the demigod powerhouse can have equal contact with other races, but the demigod powerhouse is pitiful, and even if it is a demigod powerhouse, it is quite reluctant to compare with them. ”

Mia sat back in her chair with her hands on her chest, facing Shul and Judy, but her eyes seemed to look through the two of them into the endless void, and her voice was soft as if talking to herself.

"What are the Parvadigas if they were deprived of the protection of the gods? Heh, they are just an ordinary race in the Twisted Void that cannot be more ordinary, without any characteristics, without any dependence, yes, nothing, no different from those civilizations that have disappeared into history without a trace. Now that Pavadiga has a transcendent status for special reasons, what about after that? After losing his transcendent status, the Parvadigas will probably become the lowest cornerstone of the Twisted Void Community. ”

"That's not good, at least we mages think it's bad, we are Pavadiga mages, we have the pride peculiar to Pavatiga, we can't allow our race to fall to this point, so we need to have our own strength, the power to be able to confront other civilizations head-on. ”

"Is that the metal ball?" Judy gestured to the floating and spinning sample.

"Yes, it's this metal ball. A smile appeared on Mia's indifferent face, and she gently stroked the metal ball in the air, "Since the age of mythology, gods and priests have had a transcendent status, you do not interfere in the affairs of mortals, you watch the alternation of power with a cold eye, unless the temple is threatened, you are indifferent to even the tragic killing." This is not to blame you, maybe the ignorant people don't understand, but we mages fully understand that just like when we observe ecology, we are always just observing, and we will never meddle in it. ”

"It is only in the past thousand years, under the threat of the end of the world, that you have become more connected with the mortal world, and you have increased your control over the believers of the mortal world, limiting the occurrence of wars and killings, and maintaining a stable order. ”

"But what when the threat of the end of the world is freed, the gods will return to their transcendent status, once again looking down on the mortal world from the clouds, and leave the believers to live as they used to, and fight and kill as they did in the past. As long as there is no genocide, and only the alternation of ethnic dominance, then you and the gods behind you will not interfere again, I am right, Archbishop Judy. ”

"This is also in line with your mage's hope, isn't it?" Judy didn't deny it, but smiled noncommittally, "God loves the world, and this statement is indeed true. But many mortals forget that God loves the world, not any one person. ”

"It doesn't really matter, no one thinks you're wrong. Mia sneered a few times and didn't argue, "But as a member of Pavatiga, we need to think about our future. When everything is over in the future, when the Twisted Void Community returns to stability, and everyone can live as before, the problem will arise. ”

"What qualifications does a civilization like Pavatiga, which lags far behind, have the qualifications to occupy a place in the new world? Without strong individual strength, without advanced scientific and technological level, there is nothing, what if war breaks out? What if it is invaded? What if other races on other galaxies and planets compete with us Pavatigars for resources and living space?"

"You don't want to invade others, but at least you have to do it when someone knocks on your door, you have a way to protect yourself. However, it can't be done now, if nothing else, let's just say that the escape spaceship of the New Brown Star, without the protection of the gods, can destroy the entire Pavatiga Star with one spaceship. Of course, if the strong find a way to board the ship, they can indeed destroy the enemy from within, but is it possible?

"What is the possibility? The possibility of boarding a spaceship to destroy the enemy from the inside? There is no possibility at all, people are separated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers, directly bombarded from a distance, even if they are as strong as a demigod, they have no power but are helpless. ”

"Well, actually, I'm asking about the possibility of war breaking out in the future. ”

"Heh, you're kidding. Shure squinted his eyes and chuckled, "As long as there are different individuals, it is difficult to avoid fighting, let alone a group of different races. But it's also a necessary motivator for the development of civilization, and it's not all bad, well, at least not all bad for the dead and people outside of the destroyed civilization. ”

"So, in the long run, in order not to be part of the 'bad thing,' we must have a force that is strong enough to threaten most other civilizations, so that we can protect ourselves when the gods return to neutrality. And more closely, as the initiator of the plan, if the civilization behind Shur is a weak and pitiful backward civilization, then it is difficult for Shur to straighten his waist and be upright in front of other civilizations, so even in order not to be despised by other civilizations, in order to make the Parvadiga civilization qualified to be a member of the protagonist and stand in the spotlight at the front of the stage, instead of hiding in the shadows like those small civilizations, we must rely on something. ”

"When the enemy appears, we can't enter the void, but at least we have the weapons to fight, we need to defend ourselves against enemy fire, and we need to tear through the enemy's shields with energy. Oh, that's what we're studying, let's say, planetary circles. ”

"Huh?" Judy blinked, blinked, and felt like she had misheard, "Make the whole planet into one law...... Spell...... I see, like this metal ball. ”

"That's right. ”
