Chapter 256: Fragments of the Webweaver's Information
Although it seems that the webweavers have been devoured and absorbed by the Chaos Stomach, in fact, those webweavers can still be reborn on the world web, and even the webweavers who may be devoured are just the incarnation of the real webweavers.
From the fragments of information, Leo found that the weavers had their own language and script, because more than seventy percent of the fragmented materials were a script that Leo had never seen, and this kind of writing was somewhat similar to the ancient Gamoree language, which should be a new script evolved from the ancient Gamoree language.
It's just that although Leo can't understand the meaning of those words and words, there is a large amount of image information in these indecipherable fragments of information, and from these image information, Leo can be sure that these weavers are a divine civilization that is attached to the world of Velon, and independent of the world of Velon.
Judging from the image, there should be a subspace country in the world net that Leo saw before, and the webweaver is the only creature in that country, and it is also the exclusive family created by the god of death Gain, whose role is to assist the god of death to harvest the soul of each deceased, so that the soul can return to the world of Velon.
Judging from the content that can be interpreted by Leo and some images with obvious meanings, the god of death Gain is a special existence beyond the meaning of the ancient gods and outer gods, and he cannot even be called a god, but more like a world intelligence system similar to the superbrain intelligence of the Earth Federation produced by the Velen world's own defense mechanism.
Among the fragments of information in the image category is a memorial ritual that takes place in a temple, and the image moves through the temple with the gaze of a webweaver, and in the place where the webweaver's gaze sweeps a group of frescoes, which have no text, but are enough for Leo to understand how Gain, the god of death, was born as a special deity who is not recorded by the Orthodox Church and is not written in any words.
In the world of Velon, there is no such thing as reincarnation in the religion of the old Earth era of the Earth Federation, after all life dies, the soul will be reintegrated into the world of Velon, just like the body, so that the world of Velen is in a balance of life transformation.
It wasn't until the first god appeared, whose divine power caused ordinary humans to mutate and become a family of gods, that this balance of life transformation was broken. After the death of the family, the soul will not be integrated into the world of Velen like ordinary people, but will be taken away by the gods to which they belong and sent to the subspace opened up by the gods, which is called the kingdom of the gods, and become a part of the gods.
Originally, it was just that the soul of the dependents did not integrate into the Velonian world, after all, there are not many ordinary people who can be infected by divine power and finally complete the transformation of the dependents, compared to the huge life system of the Velonn world, it can only be described as a drop in the ocean.
But as the gods discovered how great the role of the soul was on the gods, the gods also began to covet the souls of the Vilun world, so the gods began to expand the scope of soul harvesting, no longer limited to the family, but gradually from saints, to fanatical believers, to ordinary believers and pan-believers, and even later even ordinary people who were not believers, but only called the name of the gods before death and made repentance.
In this way, the balance of life transformation in the world is completely broken, and it is in this situation that the god of death appears.
The god of death, Gain, has no wisdom, only a mission, harvesting the souls of all the dead is the only factor in his existence, and anything that prevents him from harvesting souls is his enemies, including the gods.
From the moment he appeared, the god of death Gain was a god, that is, an innate god who was considered impossible by god researchers, and he was also the most powerful god in the world of Velon. He created a web of souls that surrounded the entire Velon, and reharvested all the souls that had been taken away by other gods at will, including the souls of the clans, back to the Velon, and even the souls of the gods of death were among his harvests.
At the end of the age of the gods, various gods began to disappear from the world of Veron for unknown reasons, and Gain, the god of death who appeared to fight against the gods, fell into an eternal sleep, and after he fell asleep, a special family of webweavers was born from his breath.
The purpose of the Web Weaver is to maintain the Soul Web, and when the Soul Harvest is abnormal, it descends from the Soul Web to the world of Velon, and assists the Soul Web in harvesting the soul. For example, now, the monsters and clans of the Black Forest harvesting the souls of ordinary people have touched the vigilance mechanism of the Webweavers, prompting the Webweavers to descend on the world of Velon.
In addition, Leo also knew from the fragments of information why the webweavers paid special attention to this team of refugees, because this team of refugees was special.
As for what is special, the weavers do not know. It was only known that some special beings in the Black Forest were talking about this team, and that talk was overheard by the webweavers.
However, the most interesting thing to talk about is that the time of the fleeing party was before the French Empire crossed the Black Forest and launched a surprise war, that is, after Louis X signed a contract with the Black Forest. In other words, half a year ago, the Black Forest knew that such a fleeing party was going to cross the Dibia Mountains.
Reading this information, Leo couldn't help but believe that some of the Black Forest beings had the ability to see through the future, and foretold the appearance of this fleeing party.
But then, Leo thought about it again, and it was impossible for the unknown beings in the Black Forest to really see what was happening in the future.
Because those who have taken a fancy to the current refugee team and know how they were created, they can use the Imperial army to capture them before the refugee team is generated, after all, it is the Imperial side that controls the northern end of the Dibia Mountain Range.
At that time, after capturing these people, they only need to send them directly to the Black Forest, and there is no need to make extraneous branches like now, because if they really see the future, they will naturally be able to know that Leo, Su, and the webweaver will appear.
Therefore, Leo thinks that the reason why the unknown existence of the Black Forest mentioned this evacuation team half a year ago is not because they knew the existence of this evacuation team in advance, but because they were preparing to artificially create such a evacuation team, which means that the current evacuation team is likely to be formed under the drive of the Black Forest.
When doubts arise, it is not difficult to find some suspicious things when you look back and think carefully about the composition of this fleeing team.
For example, even Leo accidentally discovered that there are several mountain villages in the depths of the Dibia Mountains, and those residents of Miria City, who live in the city of Dibia all the year round and only know some outlying villages at most, can successfully find this village without a guide, and not one or two, but in groups, which is very abnormal.
There is also a question about the composition of the people who joined the evacuation team.
If only scavengers with rich hiding experience and young and strong people such as gangsters and mercenaries who have the ability to forcibly break through the blockade of the imperial army come to the mountains, but among the refugees who come to the mountains are ordinary people who have no spiritual power to survive in the wild, such as the elderly, weak, women and children.
These ordinary people of Miria City not only passed through the blockade of the Imperial Army, which even the spies and warriors of the United Kingdom could not necessarily penetrate, but even walked a long way in the primeval forest on the outskirts of the Dibia Mountains, without losing their way or being attacked by the beasts in the primeval forest, and successfully came to the Orion Village deep in the mountains.
This can no longer be described as an anomaly, it is simply a clear telling to any doubter that someone is secretly protecting these evacuees to come to the mountain village and form the current fleeing party over the Dibia Mountains.
Thinking of this, Leo also discovered the abnormality in himself, because such an obvious anomaly appeared in front of him, it stands to reason that Leo should be able to easily detect it, but he didn't have any doubts about this situation until just now.
In this regard, Leo does not think that this is because the paracerebral system is integrated into the brain and the analysis loophole caused by the loss of an absolutely rational auxiliary system, let alone the thinking defect caused by the change of body, mind and soul, it can only be that he has been affected by some unknown force at that time.
It reminded him of the people who had disappeared silently in the camp, and it was clear that it was not impossible for the unknown Black Forest Beings who had done this to influence Leo's thinking without any fear.
Thinking of this, Leo felt as if he had inadvertently been involved in something terrible, and he had no way to deal with it for the time being, but to take one step at a time, and until he left the Dibia Mountains, he needed to be careful of the Black Forest's plots.
In the Netweaver Information Fragment, Leo not only learned about the current situation of the fleeing team and solved some questions, but also obtained some other useful information, such as information about the family.
The main enemies of the Webweavers are the Clans, as the Webweavers are not the Grim Reaper, and the Webweavers' ability to harvest souls is much weaker, and is only useful to ordinary people and most religious believers. Like the high clergy of religions that are still favored by the gods, such as the Church of the Lord of the Sky, who have a devout faith, they are also not capable of harvesting.
It's just that there aren't many of such pious senior clergy in every church, and they can't harvest their souls, and they don't have any impact on the web weaver's mission of existence.
The real impact on the weavers is those dependents, because the clans themselves are mutated by the erosion of divine power, and they have more or less a trace of divine power in their bodies, and this trace of divine power will have a great impact on the harvesting of souls of the weavers. What's more, some family members who have begun to master the divine power of the gods in their bodies will become divine agents, they create some underground churches and cults, and then gather believers to make soul sacrifices, and directly use that trace of divine power to sacrifice their souls to some gods who don't know if they still exist, and after the sacrifice, these souls will disappear from the world of Vilun forever.
What's even more interesting is that the Night's Watch, an organization that is completely against the clans, was also secretly established by the webweavers, and most of the information about the clans in the various organizations in the underworld came from them.
At present, the vast majority of the decipherable content of the web weaver's information fragments is the information about the dependents of the Velonon world, and these materials are more detailed than the data of the dependents in the hands of various forces in the dark world, from the distribution of the clans, to the living habits and abilities and weaknesses of the clans, and there are even data on the decomposition and reuse of the organs that can be used by the clans specially prepared for the night watch.
It can be said that these fragments of information make up a compendium of the Velon's world, and when Leo has thoroughly integrated these materials, he is definitely the most knowledgeable person among the humans in the Velon's world, and the organs of the children of the swamp that he stored in the storage space are no longer the sundries that occupy the space, and he is completely able to make these organs into some useful potions.
However, this family information is not the most useful thing that Leo has obtained from the decipherable fragments of information, and the really useful thing is that Leo knows what the spider tattoo on the back of his hand is for and how to use it.
This spider tattoo is the soul imprint given by the webweaver to some soul-friendly people, and this mark can be used in conventional methods, such as psionic energy injection, to activate the original power of the webweaver in the imprint, so as to obtain a part of the webweaver's abilities, such as seeing the essence of the soul, such as seeing the breath of death, etc.
For ordinary psionics such as wizards and night watchmen, the abilities they can obtain from the mark are very limited, and they use the connection between the mark and the soul web to obtain a long-distance communication ability that is close to the interdimensional communication of the Earth Federation.
Through this ability, all the soul friendly people have established an underground organization Soul Society that is even more secret than the Dark World Organization with the help of the Web Weaver, and judging from some of the members of the Soul Society that are now revealed in the information fragments, the power of this underground organization has infiltrated all the underground forces in the Dark World.
Now that Leo has this mark, he is already a natural member of the Soul Society, so he can also use the resources in the Soul Society.
However, what Leo values most is not the soul club attached to the spider mark, but the spider mark itself, or more accurately, the origin power of the webweaver in the spider mark.
Through the images of the webweavers using their abilities in the fragments of information, Leo can be said to have a complete grasp of the webweavers' abilities and the process of wielding them. This also allows him to use his nightmare power, combined with the webweaver's origin power in the spider mark, to imitate himself as a webweaver. As long as he successfully imitates the Netweaver, he will not only be able to use the soul web that envelops the entire Velen world, but also use the various abilities possessed by the Webweaver, and these abilities naturally include the ability that the witch group Su dreamed of and couldn't ask for-death.
