Chapter 289: Preparation for Sacrifice
This proves that things have not yet developed into an irreparable situation, as long as the Temple of the Gods succeeds in recovering the Nien plane, the emotions of ordinary people can be stabilized. If they could conquer another world themselves, maybe the whole belief system would become more solid. The reason why gods are gods is that they are a symbol of invincibility, and those who conquer the other world are true gods.
There are many god-servant-level figures in the Nien plane, and even those who can compete with extremely weak divine power have been revealed, which is what the gods in the temple of gods want to see. These strengths can be understood with common sense, and things that can be understood can be handled.
What the gods fear most is something like "Avalon" that makes no sense. At the end of the war between the Divine Grace Realm and the Magical Realm, many gods tried to rush to the Nien plane through the spatial passage to support, but without exception, they were locked up for several days before being released, and they did not have even a trace of this period.
Now the situation in the Nien plane reassures the gods a lot, they think that the magic world that originally blocked the passage between the two realms must have used the most powerful weapon, and the top level of the magic world is about the same as the extremely weak divine power, at most it is the level of weak divine power. This reassured the gods a lot, at least it didn't seem like the other side had the power to subvert them.
Originally, according to the character of the gods, they would observe for a while before they could act, but the situation of the main plane of Saint Moss had forced them to act early, otherwise a sharp deterioration could occur at any time. Sometimes the power and effect of a book or an idea is even more powerful than that of thousands of armies and horses, and even greater than the power of gods.
At the urging of the first group of mortal gods, and under the pressure of the situation in the St. Moss plane, a large number of gods transformed into the "true body state of the sage" and began to pass through the spatial passage between the St. Mous plane and the Nien plane, sweeping away all enemies in the Nien plane, and preparing to counterattack the magic world.
At this time, the real "god-killing" plan of the City of the End has just begun.
There are only two "god-killing" projects in the "world-destroying level" collection that Xi Rui personally presides, and many of them are in charge of others. The two projects that Ciri himself is responsible for are "Shadow Fiend" and "Statue", of which "Statue" is not easy for Ciri himself to interfere with due to its own special nature, and basically the plan is arranged by Ciri and handed over to his original collection management and several semi-legendary people who have been assigned to carry it out.
Ciri couldn't reveal much about the semi-Legends as to the Statues, but told them not to move around as soon as they entered the planned area, and to go straight through the Statue trap area through the designated passage as originally planned.
There is not a single stupid person who can cultivate to the semi-legendary level, these people are all gods who risk their lives to seduce the god grace realm, and they will die if they are not careful, and they will definitely not joke with their own lives and try those traps that can achieve the effect of "killing gods" in the plan.
Shadow Fiend's plan is more troublesome than the statue, because as long as the "statue" is watched all the time, there is no trouble, and even if something goes wrong in the middle, there is time to remedy it. As long as the god is led to the area where the statue is located, once the god sees the "statue", the staff can meet the condition of "statue" erasure after looking at the god again. Even if there is an accident, there are only a few survivors who have seen the "statue", and the basic danger will not spread in a large area.
The "Shadow Fiend", which needs to be personally dispatched by Ciri, is more dangerous and troublesome. Theoretically, as long as there is light, there is a shadow in any object at all times. However, if the strength of the shadow does not reach a certain level, it will not cause the "shadow demon" to devour.
Originally, the "Shadow Fiend" was arranged in the corner of a room, and the two walls and the floor in the corner of this room would glow, so that even if a shadow was formed, it would be in the direction away from the "Shadow Fiend" and would not be swallowed by it, and the Shadow Fiend itself had no shadow.
No one knows exactly what the "Shadow Fiend" is, but according to the archives, it has remained in this form for thousands of years since its containment. Without shadow stimulation, "shadow demons" are absolutely harmless.
The gods of the "Sage Form" are usually the size of two or three ordinary people, and Ciri's plan is to tear down the other walls of the "Shadow Demon" room and arrange the bright light circle in the right place.
As long as the god reaches the designated position, the light on the two walls and the ground will be extinguished instantly, and the strong light circle will cause the shadow of the god to instantly come into contact with the "shadow demon", and when the god is devoured, everything will return to normal.
The City of the End has sent out all the top forces it can muster, and many of the Semi-Legends are themselves members of the City's top management. Unlike the selfishness of the gods of the Divine Grace Realm, the Wizarding Realm is due to its institutional nature, and most of its senior managers are sacrificial.
Maybe these people are not perfect, maybe they have all kinds of advantages, but for the sake of their own plane, so that the world will not regress because of the gods, they can sacrifice themselves, even if they are in a high position, even if the action is completely voluntary.
This time, Ciri was fortunate enough to come into contact with some semi-legendary characters that were originally difficult to reach, and if the other party didn't restrain his natural coercion, Ciri wouldn't even be able to talk to the other party. Originally, Ciri thought that the legend level of the wizarding world might not be as good as that of the gods of the charity world, after all, the deeds of the gods recorded in those church books seemed to be very exaggerated. But after coming into contact with a top-level semi-legend, he was told that legends in the wizarding world were far stronger than those gods, in every aspect.
If a Legend enters the battle, the god will still be defeated even if he fights head-on. It's a pity that I don't know what those legends are busy with now, and they can even ignore the life and death of the magic world, and now they can only fight by these semi-legends.
The top semi-legend is named Curtis and is a mountain giant. Mountain giants are generally stronger and larger. When Ciri took the Future Talent Test in the City of the End, the mountain giant he saw was as tall as a mountain, but Curtis was even smaller than normal, and his body was no longer rocky, but like some kind of hedron substance.
Curtis was originally one of the top management of the Elemental Plane's Final City, but in order to fight against the gods, he had entrusted all affairs to other clansmen not long ago, and he was ready to sacrifice.
Curtis had seen legends before, and he had great respect for them, believing that legends were the true beginning of life, but he himself had been stuck at the top of semi-legends for many years. People like Curtis look down on life and death, and the semi-legendary top and the legendary seem to be only one step away, but the vast majority of people are stuck in this step and choose to end themselves, and he feels that his sacrifice for the wizarding world is the most meaningful way to die.
When Ciri complained about why the Legends didn't come to save the wizarding world and force the City of the End to come up with this desperate solution, Curtis stopped him instead. Curtis thinks that there must be something more important than the fall of the wizarding world.
