Chapter 794: Human Footprints
The intensity of this divine war is not as fierce as the divine warfare that has happened in the past.
But the intensity is no less.
Although Zeus is gone, the gods will not give up their rights so easily.
The struggle for theocracy was equally fierce.
Later in the war, even the Egyptian gods joined in.
Ramses II's war with Seth lasted three years.
He integrated the Egyptian god system, and then joined the god war.
However, his purpose was not to fight for divine power, but to end the war as soon as possible.
After that, the gods from the rest of the realm awakened joined in, and an epic melee began.
This scuffle lasted a whole decade.
Countless gods fell to the earth, many continents cracked and reorganized, and tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions occurred one after another.
However, the fall of the gods and the passing of living beings have also made the world more magical.
Divine warfare itself is a process of regulating the world.
Eventually, the surviving gods finally came to an agreement.
They will not interfere in the human world, and it will be up to humanity to choose its own faith.
Together, they will create a world that belongs to the gods on the earth, exercising their respective powers, sorting out the rules of this world, and protecting this world together.
The gods gradually hid in this world.
"Boom."
The entrance to the Britannia dungeon trembled slightly, and began to slowly open in both directions.
Behind the door are the humans who had taken refuge in the dungeon.
For those immortals, ten years is fleeting.
But for humans in the past, ten years was almost one-tenth of their lifespan.
Of course, the reason why it is the past is because the magic of the world has gradually become abundant because of the fall of the gods.
These humans have also been affected to increase their lifespan.
Now they live twice to three times as long as they used to.
Those old people who entered the dungeon in their seventies and eighties are not only alive now, but even in good spirits, just like dozens of years old.
At the forefront were McCroft and Britannia's President Aaron.
Ten years have passed, and this year also happens to be the last year of his presidency.
In the past decade, countries have not actually broken ties with each other.
With the technology of the Egyptian Empire, connections were re-established in the first year after the catastrophe, and they were later connected through teleportation circles.
Together, they established a human wartime coalition government, with the presidents of several permanent members of the United Nations taking turns in power, helping each other, pooling resources and technology to build dungeons together.
Mycroft's appearance has not changed much from before, perhaps because he has not seen the sun for too long, so his skin is a little sickly pale.
After the gate was opened, sunlight shone in through the gentle slope.
The sun was soft, but it was harsh to Mycroft.
It took him a while to get used to the sun.
Feeling the warm sunlight on his skin, Mycroft took a deep breath and walked out of the ground with the humans behind him.
They went out into the street.
The main battlefield of the god war is mainly on another continent, so although many buildings in the city have collapsed, a large part of it has also been retained.
What unfolded before McCroft's eyes was a silent and poignant picture.
The streets were covered with moss and grass, wet and slippery. The buildings on both sides, once a symbol of prosperity, are now covered with verdant vines that grow tenaciously, softening and vivid the otherwise cold and hard masonry. Some vines still entwined with branches, poking their heads out of the cracks in the buildings, as if peeking into the city's past.
Sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and dappled the streets, adding warmth to the deserted city. The air is filled with the smell of moist earth, mixed with a faint scent of grass, which makes people feel refreshed.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows, bringing up dust and fallen leaves from the streets, making a rustling sound. The voice is particularly clear in this empty city, as if the years are gently telling its story.
These green grasses are intertwined with vines as well as the city to form a unique picture.
"In just one year, the city will be thriving again."
Mycroft turned his head, and a thin old man was holding a lady with the same gray hair.
"Mr. Tesla." McCroft bowed to Tesla.
Over the years, the old man in front of him has played a key role in the construction of the dungeon.
This made the dungeon a large and livable city, and even rebuilt the industrial system.
Otherwise, such a large number of humans would never have been able to survive in the dungeon for so long.
Standing at Tesla's side was his wife, Nauda, the former queen of Serbia.
Before the war began, Tesla thought that if humanity was going to be destroyed, it would not be safe to stay anywhere.
Even if he died, he would die with his family, so he took Nauda over.
Fortunately, after the land changed, it was easier to find land countries, but the small island where Tesla used to stay, if you find it now, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And even if it is found, it is estimated that Nauda will have to die in the aftermath of the divine war.
"What are you going to do next?" Mycroft asked.
"What I have left behind is enough for human civilization to recover quickly in a short period of time.
Here, I am no longer needed. ”
Tesla looked at Nauda beside him, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"My wife and I have always had adventurous souls.
We are eager to sail the airship to every unknown place.
But as we grew older and our bodies couldn't support our adventures, we found a small island and lived in seclusion.
But now it's different. ”
Tesla's face was ruddy, and he said, "Those magic powers have transformed our bodies and made us feel stronger than ever." And there is a lot more land in this world, and there are many places worth exploring. ”
Mycroft nodded, "I see, I respect your choice. ”
On one side, Aryan walked over and came to Mycroft's side.
"Mycrof, the coalition government has told us to come over and have a meeting to discuss the post-disaster reconstruction."
He looked around and sighed.
"There's a lot of work after that."
McCroft looked around as well, and he smiled.
"It's all in the past, though, isn't it?"
Aryan smiled as well, and he patted Mycroft on the shoulder.
"yes, it's all gone"
He whispered in a deep gaze.
"Humanity is back on land.
And human beings will inevitably once again cover every corner of the world." (End of chapter)
