Chapter 35: God Is Dead

God's, wreckage—

Russell's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly realized.

No wonder......

The actions of the cyber church cannot be called "righteous" in any way. But they were able to grasp the power of the Holy Order......

Even those artificial angels in their purest form will continue to decline due to their obsolescence...... But in any case, the elven directors who did not seem to be as holy and righteous as them were able to wield a stronger power of the Holy Rank.

I'm afraid that even the most devout Cyber believers would not have thought that the "gods" they worship are real.

- Not only does it exist, but it has even been artificially split into more than ninety parts.

"The dragon symbolizes the day, and the name of the elf is the night......

Russell muttered, "There are seven empty islands...... In other words, each empty island symbolizes the 'day of creation'. Beneath the dragon, which symbolizes the day, commands the twelve elven directors who symbolize the twelve moments. Then it is understandable that the elves are lower than the dragons......"

Dragons are not completely superior to elves.

Rather, it was equal—except that the status of each dragon was equal to that of the twelve elven directors combined.

The ale on the side was even a little surprised to see Ultramarine accept this fact so easily.

"You...... Do you believe my word so easily? ”

"Because I can see that you're not lying to me."

Ultramarine glanced back at her, thought for a moment, and added, "Moreover, this is indeed very reasonable. But what do you mean by 'key'? ”

Ale pursed his lips and asked rhetorically, "Why do you think dragons and elves divide authority like this?" ”

Russell thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

He already had an answer in his mind, but it was better not to say it for the time being.

If nothing else......

I guess it's to prevent re-aggregation.

Of the elven directors of each of the Sky Islands, only six are from the mainland, and the other six are from other Sky Islands. Previously, Russell simply thought that these directors were merely "local heads" who played the role of a foreign minister.

But now that I think about it...... It does seem that something is wrong.

The top leaders of the other Sky Islands, even if they need directors to be in charge and commanders, they don't need to be elven directors with higher status. Not to mention, they rarely leave the sky island where they are located, and if they leave, they will go back immediately...... It's more like banishment than an expatriate.

But what if this is banishment?

The purpose is to make it impossible for each of the empty islands to make up the "twelve hours that belong to this day"!

And the answer given by the malt wine is indeed as Russell expected: "Because there are two kinds of keys."

"One of them requires the permission to collect 'all day'...... That is, the approval of all the elven directors of the giant corporation to which the dragon belongs, including a dragon; On the other hand, you need to collect the same hour in seven days. In other words, it requires the simultaneous approval of all the elven directors or seven dragons who rule over a given moment in seven different empty islands. In this way, it is possible to temporarily reassemble the gods of 'one day' or 'one time'. ”

"What is this key used to open for? What are these two keys for? ”

"I don't know. I don't even know if I only need one key or if I need two. ”

Ale shook his head helplessly: "You can't think I know everything. I can only know what the teacher told me.

"But I want to...... If it wasn't something like 'the power of the gods,' it should be something extremely dangerous and hugely profitable. Otherwise, there will be no such division of power, ensuring that no one or any organization can piece together a complete key at once without being discovered by others who hold it.

"It's like...... When a group of people went out to sea, they discovered a gold mine at the same time. No one has the ability to do it alone, but everyone is afraid that others will kill them and take it for themselves. So the group got together and worked together to create a security system that stored its real location. All must be present to open the ...... The feeling they gave me was this feeling of jealousy and greed. ”

The corners of the ale's mouth rose slightly, revealing a silent sneer.

With this kind of secret, it is difficult for her to be like everyone else...... I have a sense of fear and awe for elves and dragons.

But Russell frowned.

He had a different view on it......

Because Russell had a sharper perception of the human heart. So he vaguely realized that this attitude did not seem to be much like greed for wealth...... It's more like fear.

Not really, it's some kind of seal, right?

But it doesn't look like a complete danger either.

[I, 'Marriage of Opposites' Kamalse.] Swear in the name of the forerunners, caretakers, and guardians of humanity......]

The oath that Kamalser had made before his death suddenly echoed in Russell's mind.

Precursors, Caretakers, and Guardians......

However, Russell has another source of information.

"The information you gave is very valuable."

Russell temporarily suppressed his thoughtless thoughts, raised his head and looked at the ale seriously: "I'll give you something back." ”

"Isn't it to get more from me?"

The corners of the ale's mouth rose slightly, revealing a seductive smile.

Russell only chuckled: "Because I can see that you have finished everything you can say."

"In order to be able to show your 'usefulness' in front of me immediately, you are frantic about emphasizing your worth. I'm just worried that I'll be left on Sun Island tomorrow......

Although he has always said that he believes in the guidance of fate, he still has doubts in the deepest part of his heart.

"No, more precisely...... It should be said that you don't actually believe in anyone or anything from the bottom of your heart. Whether it's Godfather, me, your teacher, or the so-called fate. ”

Russell said, putting the empty glass back on the table and standing up with a gentle smile: "I should be right. ”

Seeing the stunned ale suddenly fall silent, Russell just put his left hand in his pocket and touched the ale's ear with his right hand.

"Go back to sleep and have a good night."

Russell turned his back unguardedly and waved his hand: "I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”

The ale quietly watched Russell leave.

Although the appearance, height, psionic abilities, habits, and personality are completely different......

But for some reason, she was ...... from the hero "Ultramarine"

- I saw a shadow that belonged to the "godfather".

…… Maybe it's because they all have a sense of cleanliness that doesn't belong to this era.
