Chapter 39: Factions
When Fox first reported to him that a consurate was missing, Mephistopheles took a hit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoSo, before the guards of the Morte Territory could fully define this matter, Mephistopheles's body had already figured out the reason - several blind idiots were preparing for a blood sacrifice in his territory, intending to summon the Abyss Demon.
Mephistopheles' body didn't act rashly, in fact, since the incarnation of Cheno's body was refined, Mephistopheles's body rarely went out. He lived back in the cramped statue, feeling the essence of the law of desire.
Perhaps it is the peculiarity of the devil race, the ontology and the incarnation share the same consciousness, which is equivalent to distraction, no matter what happens, the other can perceive it instantly.
In addition, the power of the avatar and the ontology are shared with each other, so Mephistopheles sometimes ignores whether she is the ontology or the incarnation.
If we have to say the difference between the two, it is that if the incarnation dies, as long as the body is still there, a new incarnation can still be born, but if the body dies, then although his consciousness can be perfectly reborn on the incarnation, the nature of his power will not change, but it is impossible to produce a new incarnation, and the possibility of one step closer is lost.
It is precisely because of this difference that after refining the incarnation, Mephistopheles no longer easily uses the ontology, because there is no need, but instead it spreads a risk.
In fact, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the incarnation of Cheno, Mephistopheles would not have used the ontology even for such a risk-free trivial matter as message exploration.
After discovering the plans of this group of guys, Mephistopheles not only did not directly send troops to encircle them, but covered them up in some suspicious places.
Like the devil, the devil is also the existence of the chaos camp. But Mephistopheles allowed the Blood Ritual to succeed not for the affection of any allies, but because he needed a demonic soul to complete his subsequent plans.
Although demons were also enemies of the gods, Mephistopheles never thought of uniting them.
Low-level demons have no use value, and high-level demons can even compete with gods, so it is best to exclude them from allies from the beginning rather than trying to unite with each other and putting yourself in it.
Even many nobles have doubts about the division of camps, and even many people openly classify orcs into the chaotic and evil camp. But in fact, this division is wrong.
The true faction division only distinguishes between order and chaos, and there is no distinction between evil, good, and neutrality. Because the so-called evil and good are both relative, and for different species or different lives, the standards of each other are very different.
People call the act of not favoring the two as neutrality, but from another point of view, isn't ignoring the occurrence of evil also a kind of evil?
The storm has devastated several cities, but as far as nature is concerned, it is just an evolution and catharsis of air pressure.
Only mortals would make a distinction between good and evil in the actions of the gods, and for the material world itself, such a division was meaningless.
When it comes to faction divisions, we have to mention the division of creatures first. There are two types of creatures in the material world, those who are orderly (or orderly) beings and those who are chaotic.
Most people think that demons are a type of chaotic creatures, and this is not true. If anything, demons are also creatures of order.
Hard to understand?
No, as long as you understand what the criteria for dividing these two creatures are.
All creatures that exist according to order are creatures of order, and vice versa are creatures of chaos.
Even if it is a demon, they eat with their mouths and walk with their feet, and they do not say that the demon eats with wings and excretes with eyes.
Moreover, demons also pass through the juvenile stage first, then the youth stage, and then the adult stage. No one has ever seen that demon be an adult at birth, and become a young child when he becomes an adult.
Moreover, even if they are as chaotic as demons, their forms are basically unchanged. Of course, the change in form when life evolves does not count.
At the very least, they didn't do it for the last second, the next second the claws became tentacles, and the next second the eyes were under the nose......
In fact, there is only one creature in the entire physical world that belongs to the chaos of beings, and that is the Abyss Monsters.
The abyss is called the Endless Abyss, and the so-called "endless" refers to the fact that the abyss has countless planes, and new planes are created or disappeared every moment.
At the "end" of the endless abyss, there is real chaos, that thing like a cosmic black hole originally did not belong to the material world, but I don't know when it began to erode the material world.
The current calendar is a divine calendar, but the divine calendar of more than 7,000 years is just a drop in the ocean for the history of the material world.
In that era that was too old to be recorded in the "History of the Creation of the World", Io was only an inconspicuous member of the old gods, and at that time the material plane was the material world, and there were no restrictions and shackles of power.
The gods soar in the sky, and mortals chase in the wilderness.
However, the advent of chaos destroyed these, and the material world collapsed into countless planes, among which the plane where the material continent is located is called the main plane.
The Old Gods, led by Ksoyh, the god of time and space, resisted the erosion of chaos, and in the end, they sealed it in a corner of the material world at the cost of power and lives.
Everyone knows the truth that it is better to be sparse than blocked, and the will of the world in the material world is no exception, even if it is not self-conscious.
Driven by the will of the world and with the help of the Old Gods, various fragmented planes were thrown into chaos to neutralize its power.
I don't know how long it took, the seal, the chaos, and the various planes merged together, and became a strange plane that half belonged to the material world and half did not belong to—the abyss.
With the abyss as the battlefield, a fierce tug-of-war between the will of the world and the source of chaos, which symbolizes the origin of order. Every time the Will of the World gains the upper hand, a new plane will be born, and the abyss will have one more plane, and every time the Origin of Chaos will gain the upper hand, the abyss will have one less plane.
Moreover, the higher the plane, the more obvious the division of the plane, for example, there is a clear flow of time, a clear division of space and direction, etc., and the lower the world, the more chaotic, such as the fallen leaves of plants flying out of the soil and falling back to the branches, the sky is on fire and rain, but the temperature is hundreds of degrees below zero.
But fortunately, there are not many Origin of Chaos, at least not compared to the Origin of Order, which is backed by the entire world. Although the will of the world cannot completely destroy it, it can indefinitely restrain its growth, and even begin to weaken it in essence. At the very least, the creatures of the material world no longer have to worry about the world being reduced to a state of broken order.
So, unlike the abyssal monsters, who are like plasticine being toddled with at all times, the demons are creatures of order, albeit unfriendly.
The division of factions unfolds in the creatures of order, after all, the so-called division of factions is meaningless for the abyssal monsters.
Demons and demons are chaotic creatures by faction, as they can increase their power in ways that violate the order.
The so-called "promotion method that violates the order" refers to the way of plundering the foundation of others to directly improve oneself, and the superficial metaphor is to fight monsters and upgrade.
In the material world, whether it is an orc or a human, they all improve their strength by exercising their physical bodies or cultivating their spiritual power, even after stepping into the gate of legends, they are also improved by the rules of independent perception.
But both demons and demons are different from these creatures.
Take demons as an example, each demon can get a significant increase in strength as long as they devour life.
Moreover, whether the high-level demons accept the blood sacrifice to improve themselves, or improve themselves by devouring the divinity and rules of the gods, they also belong to this way.
Of course, they can also improve themselves through training and comprehension, but such a slow pace is not something that the demons can endure.
It is because of this that the Endless Abyss is so chaotic. After all, all beings, including their kindred, are their "experience" to improve themselves.
If there is a demon who exercises and improves like a human and does not use other means to improve himself, will he become a member of the camp of order?
Of course not!
Just like the difference between omnivores and carnivores, the criteria for dividing them are because carnivores cannot get the energy they need for life from herbaceous plants, whereas omnivores can. So if an omnivore eats only meat, then would it be defined as a carnivore?
A definition is a definition because it only looks at whether you can do it, not whether you can do it.
It is impossible for a creature from the Order faction to improve itself through that kind of predation, and those who have this ability must belong to the Chaos faction, regardless of their outward appearance.
Mephistopheles is the same, the reason why he doesn't devour a lot of fallen souls to improve himself now is to maintain the purity of his consciousness before his strength is reached, not that he can't improve in this way.
If he wasn't a self-aware devil ancestor, but a low-level devil, then he would definitely not be polite.
According to this division, most of the gods are in the camp of order, they only borrow the approval of the believers, and the power generated by the faith will be returned to the believers after diluting the divine power, which is called blessing.
In fact, even if they don't return, they won't be relegated to the chaos camp because they don't have the ability to absorb the power of those beliefs, so they can only use them elsewhere.
Again, a definition is a definition because it only looks at whether you can do it, not whether you can do it.
Besides, no god would do that. After all, a god who cannot bless believers, no matter how good his teachings are, may be difficult to gain the approval of believers.
But evil gods are different, they do not need the approval of believers, but improve themselves by absorbing their fears, despairs, and other emotions. This is the same as Mephistopheles' absorption of the fragments of desire produced by the lords, regardless of whether it is harmful to the host or not, it is defined by the will of the world as a "predatory ascension".
Actually, there is nothing wrong with the chaotic faction, the will of the world will only dislike chaotic creatures, and as for the different factions in the order creatures, it is like the chess pieces of different colors in checkers, just to distinguish them.
Moreover, the existence of different factions is not necessarily mortal enemies, at least there is not much enmity between the gods of order and the evil gods. In the same way, the people of the same camp may not all be friends, at least the incarnation of Mephistopheles is already planning to leave to "welcome" his guests......
