Chapter 1008: God Annihilation
"That's it. It's a shame. Someone said regretfully. But the real mood is not too many regrets, so I just sigh with emotion.
Fen rarely explained: "This power of gathering the thoughts of many people, if you can not touch it, you will not touch it. Unless you want to become less like yourself. ”
After thinking about it, Lin said, "But the elemental spirit power you plan to obtain, doesn't it seem that it is similar now?" ”
Fen was stunned for a moment and said, "The two seem to be the same, but there are actually some differences. Although the elemental spirits also gather the minds of all the elves in the earth elemental plane, they are extensive. The Godhead, on the other hand, is formed around a concept that will eventually be swallowed up by that concept without ego. ”
"Is there a difference between Ayelai consciousness and obsession?" Lin said thoughtfully. Then I gave up thinking about too complicated religious and philosophical issues, which was ultimately the part I was not good at.
On the contrary, the machine people were more open than Lin imagined, and after the godhead was broken, they only showed regret, but no one scolded or anything like that. It means that they don't have a position to curse, and the only one who can get on top is Hyph Quinn, but she is the calmest of all the robots. Even when the Godhead was still intact, she did not reveal a trace of longing.
As if sensing someone's curiosity about herself, the mini-level mechanical girl sitting on Lin's shoulder turned her head to look at the magician from the enchanted land and asked, "What's wrong?" ’
'You don't seem to care about that broken thing?' ’
'Borrowing someone else's power and then becoming a slave to it, that's the kind of thing I don't care to do. Maybe if Wurkan had known earlier, he wouldn't have chosen it that way. ’
This is full of revelations and gossip. However, Lin didn't plan to talk about it in depth, because under the starry sky at night, there was no power and fluctuations related to that divine power. And the box cut also fell from the sky after destroying the godhead.
Halfway through the gravitational fall, Lin uses flashing to retrieve the short knife that makes all the robots look sideways. At the same time, the starry sky of the night was simply lifted, so that the people who were shrouded in it could resume communication with the outside world again.
The destruction of the godhead did not cause much turmoil among the robots. At least they're not greedy enough to be human, because 'I like that thing so much that it doesn't belong to me, but whoever destroys it has a deep hatred for me.' Because sooner or later it will be mine. This kind of nonsensical reason, and grudge with someone.
Of course, how many factors are in it, because they think they can't afford to offend the man who just participated in the slaughter of the gods, so they plan to calm things down, it is unknown.
But when he unlocked the starry sky at night, he saw a scene that was unbelievable. The glossy fortress city of Iron Wall, which was glossy before the battle, is now dilapidated after a hundred years of weather. Even the members of the Iron Wall Army, who were originally majestic and unified, seemed to have been drained of their spirits, and their bodies were rickety, and they looked extremely old.
"What's going on?" The surprised Lin didn't care about using the Elemental Elf language so that others could understand it.
Maybe there are still a lot of people who can understand the lingua franca of the fan, but the only one who can understand the question and answer the scene in front of him is Fen, the lich. She said, 'It seems that our Majesty has not established his kingdom in the void, but his power has corrupted the city and the elemental creatures that inhabit it. Heff, is that why you left in the first place? ’
The mini-level mechanical girl who was named to ask questions didn't dare to take it in front of the magician who could face the steel vuerkan. She replied frankly: 'Although I would love to say that I was so prescient, in fact I left the iron wall because I was unwilling to lose. But after leaving, I found myself entangled in a force that disgusted me. But it took a long time to banish that power and free it from its influence once and for all. ’
This can be regarded as a warning from Finn and Heff Quinn. Someone couldn't help but twist the handle of a knife with his index thumb, and his eyes widened in front of him, and he looked closely.
"What do you want, the rest. I'd be embarrassed to look at me with such fiery eyes. ”
"I want to see if you are 'polluted', or if you are bathed in 'divine grace'. If so, I think I should stay away from you. ”
He said proudly, "What are you talking about?" I don't kill people with cause and effect, that little broken god doesn't want to affect me. ”
Oh, killing people doesn't touch cause and effect!
However, before he was busy complaining about the short knife, Lin remembered another matter, and asked about the lich beside him with a little worry. "We just killed a god? Is He Really Dead? ”
Fen gave a definite answer: "Dead." He who dies cannot die anymore. Doubtful? You really killed a god, alive. ”
There is no such picture of blurred flesh and blood, and it is a strong sense of unreality for someone. But no matter how untrue it is, Lin still doesn't have an intuitive understanding of the influence of the fall of the gods. Therefore, he asked, "Then, will there be any impact on the side of the maze?" ”
"What kind of impact do you think it will have?" Fen asked rhetorically.
"Well, it's like the believers are feeling unwell. Even the divine power backfired, directly in the daylight of the fireless spontaneous combustion, lost a small life or something. I don't know what the symptoms might be, so why don't you tell me about them? ”
With an indisputable expression, Fen said angrily: "The situation you said may exist, but it will only appear to a very small number of people, and it will not happen on a large scale. After all, Wurkan's priesthood is only a subordinate god, and I have to doubt whether he has a direct subordinate priest in the Delirium. If you are just an ordinary believer, you will not feel any discomfort. The gods are such a dispensable existence for mortals. Do you think it's ironic. ”
The lich's remarks are not so much deviant as they are to break someone's perception of the real existence of this god, the barriers and connections between humans and gods. In fact, the two are not so close.
Looking at someone's look of shock and disbelief, Fen continued, "I've slaughtered a lot of old gods. They are all gods of the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, and the sea. Is it true that when they die, the sun is gone, the moon is gone, and the stars are no longer shining? I guess not. The old gods of the past were born from the thoughts of mortals. Today's new gods steal the fulfillment of mortals' thoughts. And whether they die or not, whether they exist or not, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, and the world still works. So with or without Them, is there a difference? Most people don't notice the difference. ”
This is the end of the discourse, but Finn is inexplicably depressed, and then says: "In fact, when most mortals do not know that a certain god has fallen, if they continue to praise their godhead, it will not be long before even if they lose their godhead, they will reunite and form a new god." Or others who steal the Godhead will be assimilated by this vast idea, and people will become like the god everyone imagines, inheriting the name. So it's a hell of a thing that can't be killed. ”
…… Well, it's actually pretty stupid to think about. It would be up to an atheist to ask an antitheist what the consequences of slaughtering a god would be. The former can't imagine any possibility, and the latter must be dead. Wasted emotions.
Lin decided that he no longer cared about the life and death of that god. At most, it's just to return to the maze and listen to the relevant developments. However, the iron wall that was left behind, and the elemental creatures that lived in it, did not need the care of human magicians. The robots already have a fairly mature process of co-optation, and they can handle the remaining elemental creatures well.
