Chapter Eighty-Five: The Struggle for Control
"I know, I know, Wei, calm down. Shuer stood on the platform of the throne with his hands behind his back and looked calm, Wei's report did not make any waves in his heart, "Aren't these things expected a long time ago? ”
Shul was right, for a few minutes now, it seemed that the last calm before the storm had been maintained, and it was still at peace, but in fact, the war had already begun, and it had already entered the white-hot stage, but it was out of sight, not in the real world.
Shuer provoked a war, and the gods could only passively respond to the war, it was a war without gunpowder, one person, facing the gods, facing the whole world.
Even at this time, the two sides were communicating calmly, and the struggle for control of the circle never stopped, not only did not stop, but intensified. Both sides are well aware that the key to this war is the control of the circle, and whether the gods can successfully regain control of the circle will determine who the winner of the war is, determine whose method the ritual will follow, and then determine the future of this world.
If the gods fail to regain control, Shur and the Darkmoon Church behind it will naturally become the ultimate victors, ending the ritual with one of the most brilliant explosions second only to the light of creation, using the lives of thousands of high-ranking apostles who participated in the ritual as sacrifices to a carnival feast to celebrate the awakening of the creator god, and showing their final madness with the result of the destruction of most civilizations and the loss of billions of lives.
If the gods succeed in regaining control, all the efforts of Shur will be in vain, and they will no longer be able to stop the ritual, which will proceed gently as originally planned until the sleeping creator god is awakened. When the time comes, Shure's conjecture is right, then everything will cease to exist, there will be no future to speak of, and if his conjecture is wrong, and the world continues to exist, then he will inevitably face the wrath of the gods, no, it should be said, the wrath of the whole betrayed world.
As Shul said, everyone's purpose is the same, but the path is diametrically opposed, Shure's method is too radical and too sacrificial for the gods to accept, and the gods' method is too mild, Shul does not believe that their method can work, both sides insist on their own judgment, and there is no possibility of being persuaded by the other. And both sides knew very well that this was a deliberate decision, so they never tried to convince each other, and from the very beginning, both sides invariably chose war.
As for compromises? non-existent. At this moment, from the gods to the mortals, they all remembered what Shuer said not long ago, once it starts, there will be no chance to turn back, I have already given you a chance, now think about it, this sentence turned out to be a foreshadowing, because it is true that the opportunity to turn back was lost at the beginning, and it can only go all the way to the end, to the moment when the ritual ends in two different ways. Stopping in the middle of the process would only cause the ritual circle to collapse due to abnormal operation, and the consequences would be far more serious than either way, neither the gods nor the apostles, nor even the apostles who were considered sacrifices by the monks, would not want to see that scene.
The only way is to fight for control of the circle, and there is no other way to solve the current problem, and there must be a race against time, and time must not be wasted, otherwise it will be too late to do anything by the time the energy of the ritual circle climbs higher and higher, and the moment it exceeds the critical point at which the circle bears it.
So from the very beginning, the two sides were locked in the fiercest struggle for control, even in conversation.
Shuer has the absolute upper hand, he has been preparing painstakingly for more than a year, and has made all kinds of preparations in advance, just for today's moment, taking advantage of the various loopholes intentionally left in the magic circle, with the support of Wei's powerful computing power, he single-handedly controlled the magic circle that only the gods can control, and even successfully eliminated the influence of the gods on the magic circle in the confrontation, so that the situation can develop according to his own vision.
According to his original assumption, the gods should have noticed the anomaly of the circle a little later, but the gods were obviously more sensitive than he thought, and had already discovered the problem, but even so, he could maintain his advantage, at least until now.
Fighting against the gods in a mortal body, and still having an advantage, this is unthinkable in Pavatiga, no matter what the final result is, the process Shur alone is enough to be proud of, if there is a future, when it is brought up, it will definitely be regarded as legendary.
But the advantage created by the surprise attack ended here, the gods had already reacted and started a frontal counterattack, after all, Shuer was just a mortal, and there was a huge gap between him and any god, even if there was advance preparation, it was not enough to make up for the gap between the two, so Xiuer, who originally had an absolute advantage and almost had more than 90% control over the magic circle, had already lost a large territory in just ten minutes, and the control of the magic circle had been more than forty percent in the hands of the gods.
Because of this, Wei Cai couldn't sit still, and crawled out of hiding directly to remind Shuer that the advantages established in advance were rapidly being lost.
However, Shuer was not in a hurry at all, although he still tried his best in the confrontation, but calmly did not look like he was retreating sharply, but faintly revealed a leisurely demeanor, which made the gods and apostles who knew him better sound the alarm frantically. Everyone knows his previous deeds, and standing in the same camp is naturally the best helper, and once he stands in the opposite camp...... The destructive power is too great, who knows what other calculations he has, and the vigilance must be raised to the maximum.
Indeed there is.
Shuer is indeed not in a hurry at all, on the one hand, because the control of the magic circle is not a simple matter that whoever controls more than fifty percent can control the magic circle, as long as he masters a few key points, then even if he loses ninety-nine percent of the territory, it is impossible for the gods to forcibly stop the surge of energy, so as long as he firmly guards those victory opportunities and persists until the critical point of the magic circle, he can win the final victory, as for the control of the other parts is not important, he maintains a high-intensity fierce confrontation, just to buy more time, even if it is all given to the gods at the beginning, let them directly attack several key links, and will not have a fundamental impact.
Because he has long left a back road, and wants to capture a few key links? Heh, how can it be so easy to be an enemy of Shuer.
