In fact, when Murphy heard the harsh content of the Frontier Pact, he had a premonition of unease.

Quetzalcoatl's subsequent warning also confirms Murphy's suspicions, and the Sentinel's contract with these new gods is more of a deal than mutual assistance.

The Sentinels used the power of the Creator to help the Astral Djinn enter the realm of the gods, at the cost that the new gods would have to fight until their death on the battlefield of the subspace, and they would not be able to retreat as long as the contract remained.

Although the new gods who came into contact with Murphy before did not say it explicitly, the story of Avalon and Lady Spider and the birth of Vam show that this war was very cruel even to the gods, and this situation of either fighting and dying lasted for more than a thousand years, and it was normal for some djinns to want to regret it.

After all, they are not innate gods.

They are only powerful beings born in the astral plane, and they cannot be expected to be born with some kind of "divinity".

This is the God who is shaped, and as we all know, no matter what the reason is found, there will eventually come a day when rebellion comes.

To put it nicely, freedom cannot be restrained, and the harder the pressure, the stronger the resistance.

To put it mildly, it is the instinct or bad root nature that exists in the heart of every life.

Creatures are all interested in the good and avoid the bad, even if they don't have intelligence, they will do it instinctively.

However, Murphy has seen the world along the way, he did not panic, but looked at the projection of Quetzalcoatl in front of him in the form of the sun's fire, and he said in a subtle tone:

"So, do you have a place among the vile gods who try to break the covenant? Ms. Kulkan, who is in a bad situation but doesn't know who to turn to for help. ”

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Quetzalcoatl immediately gave a negative answer, but Murphy also got the answer he wanted, well, it seems that there are still a lot of individuals among the gods who want to "take a step back".

probably felt that it was pointless for him to disguise these things in front of Alpha, so Kurkan simply changed the subject.

She said:

"Let's talk about us.

As you can see, those subspace doglegs have polluted me in my kingdom with very bad methods, and a dark manic consciousness has been born in my divinity, and I must banish it before He can completely transform me. ”

"Avalon did something similar, why don't you go to Him?"

Murphy asked rhetorically.

Kurkan was silent for a moment, sighed and said:

"For in His sight I am a cowardly traitor, and I am the first God who dares to discuss these things openly"

"Ha, I see, you're that 'Judas.'"

Murphy smiled and said:

"So, Avalon is a faithful fulfiller of the Frontier Pact, and I guess the gods of the Old World are loyal, because they are now fighting the invasion of subspace in their respective kingdoms, and they don't even have time to heed the calls of the believers.

But there was a split among you, and so they watched your situation get worse day by day, and you could not reach them on the battlefields of the subspace, so they sent your priests across the oceans.

How?

Is the great sun god intending to confess to his companions in this way, so that they can pull you in on the past? ”

"Shut up, malevolent alpha!"

Kurkan was very annoyed and said:

"We are not traitors, nor do we want to take refuge in the subspace, it has been proven that those of us who have ascended to the gods by the power of the Creator will be transformed into something quite terrifying by the subspace even if we surrender.

It's a life-and-death war!

There is no turning back when we accept the power of creation, but even the bravest warriors cannot stay on the battlefield forever!

You know what I mean?

We need a rear so that the wounded and weakened of us can have time and space to recover, but the Frontier Pact dictates that we can't do that. Do you know when our differences were born and intensified?

Even when the war djinn Sulguk was besieged to death by the minions of the subspace, he was the bravest of us, and he did not bow his head until his death, and he still called us to continue fighting.

But the result?

His mountain-like divine body was torn apart, most of it was snatched away by the shadows of the subspace, and only a small part fell into the material world with the shattered kingdom of God

Well, I said that you may not understand Him, but I said another name and you will know.

Vam!

Vam was born from the shattered body of Thigouk.

That can be seen as another kind of resurrection, and it is the resurrection of Vam that gives us a glimmer of opportunity.

Vam never missed a battle with the subspace, and he was wounded many times, but he was much happier than us poor gods.

He has a choice!

Do you understand?

In the most critical moments, Vam can retreat from subspace and return to the physical world to recuperate, but we can't do it, and the tragedy of Sulfurguk is enough for once.

We're not trying to tear up the Frontier Pact, Alpha.

We just wanted to modify it!

You know, if Avalon could have returned to the astral plane to heal himself when he was polluted, he wouldn't have had to do that kind of strong man's wrist breaking and digging out a part of himself to form Spider Lady.

Ah, hell!

I'm in the same predicament now.

What's even more terrifying is that I am just a victim, and the subspace has found a way to corrupt us from the material world.

Haven't you noticed yet?

Gaia had just escaped, Avalon had to abandon his faith among the human race to avoid a recurrence of the calamity, and far east from you, Ao's human servants did their best to cleanse them of the Polluter.

And Leviathan.

Shark followers of the god of the sea fight enemies who try to pollute him in every part of the Misty Sea.

But all the gods have similar hidden dangers, the rear is already unstable, and the frontier contract that fulfills us has become a shackle that binds us.

All gods are tired!

This is not an exaggeration, we have been fighting on the front lines for more than a thousand years, and even the bravest Su is already overwhelmed, and the evil cultists of the subspace only need a chance to inflict heavy damage on him. ”

Quetzalcoatl Kurkan is now like a misguided branch manager trying to justify her actions in the face of the inspectors sent down by the head office, but this does not change the suspicion that she once tried to be a "deserter".

But there's no point in dwelling on that now.

Murphy is not a full-fledged administrator, he has not yet inherited the gifts left to him by his Creator, and he only has a deterrent effect over these gods but no real jurisdiction.

So, the vampire lord asked directly:

"Let's talk about these things later, the object you want to repent of is not me, tell me, how can I help you?"

"It's best if you can break the Frontier Pact."

Kurkan said stupidly:

"But I know you can't do it now, you don't even know where the Sentinels are, and they won't obey an administrator who doesn't even have access to creation.

So, I had to go the old way of Avalon, splitting out a dark face to keep myself pure.

The Astral Dragon can help purify me, but Ao that character

He is more extreme than Avalon, He is the one who desires the birth of true divinity in the most of us, He makes it his mission and duty to be the power given by the Creator, He desires to be the embodiment of some kind of rule, so it is not necessary to talk to Him about human feelings.

If a 'deserter' like me dares to appear before Him, He will kill me with His own hands.

So find the Primordial Shrine of Lady Spider, and I'm going to learn a little bit about splitting myself from her, so that I don't get too weak after this 'surgery'."

Also, if possible, I would like you to intervene in the deteriorating situation in the Aztec kingdom, my mortal minions are very loyal, and they are still rebelling against the evil cults of the subspace, but I dare not give them much power.

Because I'm getting filthy and filthy.

Ah, shit!

Faith is a cool thing to use, and how deadly it is when something goes wrong.

When we receive help from the material world, we are tied to the death of believers.

I really envy Su and Ao now, they have never used the power of faith too much, so they don't have such terrible hidden dangers and problems. ”

"Well, exactly, this aligns with my goal, and I can help."

Murphy agreed, but then he reached out and touched the bright sparks of the sun that surrounded him, and then changed his words and said:

"But I can't do it for nothing, can I?

Considering that I will become the only spokesman of the Creator in this world, at that time, even if we have a good personal relationship, I will have to consider the opinions of the other gods and punish those like you who try to evade responsibility.

It's not good if it really gets to that point.

So I mean, since you have repented, why don't you start correcting your mistakes seriously from now on? Let other gods who are still in their duty see your way of atonement. ”

"I'm already doing my duty again, and I'm fighting against those filthy minions in subspace, otherwise would my corruption be so bad?"

Sister Kurkan was very dissatisfied and said:

"I admit that my behavior for hundreds of years is very wrong, but now that I have rejoined the battlefield, strictly speaking, I can be regarded as lost, and mortals don't always say that mistakes can be corrected"

"Your explanation is like saying that I killed someone on the road because I was in a bad mood, and then I decided to change my mind and become a good person again, so I can get away with it?"

Murphy said quietly:

Although this metaphor is not appropriate, I think you can understand what I mean, and you should make up for it by knowing that you have done something wrong to express your remorse, rather than bowing and apologizing to treat the world as peaceful, nothing has happened.

That's trying to deceive the world, and most sadly, it's still trying to deceive itself.

A god like you can't say something stupid in front of me, 'I've apologized, what else do you want?' ”

Kurkan was stunned and had nothing to say.

It seems that this powerful big sister is not a good debater, she hummed and moved the fire of the sun into various divine forms, and after a few seconds, she sighed and said:

"So what? What are you going me to do? Are you directly involved in your Plague?

I wouldn't mind sending down the fire of the sun to burn your enemies, but the question is, in my current state, do you really dare me to descend an incarnation on earth? Not to mention, if you want the gods to descend from the three planes of subspace, the astral plane, and the material world, you have to prepare a powerful enough 'human body' for me.

In the past thousand years, only the Sharks have accomplished such a feat with the help of the Ancient Kingdom of Callum, and the human body of the Leviathan is still cruising the Sea of Mist.

It's too much trouble to make. ”

"It's not that complicated, I have always believed in the concept that there is a battlefield of gods and gods, and there is a war between people and people, and it is better for the two sides not to interfere with each other, so as not to make the tragedy of Avalon and Gaia."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"But not long ago, there was a wave called 'Holy Light' in the subspace, I think you also felt it, right?"

"Well, I do feel it, a very peculiar seed has been planted, and of course the filth of the subspace will not let it go, they tried to corrupt that thing in the first place, but it was strange."

Quetzalcoatl said in a strange tone:

"The idea it carries is too pure to be corrupted by subspace, and the entity that carries its beliefs is so alien to other believers that it doesn't even have a place to start. It was the most discussed topic among the gods at the moment, and many of the gods were speculating about where this strange thing came from. ”

"Don't guess, it was an attempt of mine, and it seems to be working well so far."

Murphy waved his hand in a Versailles gesture and said:

"But it's too hard to create a god, I need your help, Ms. Kulkan, you have a 'purification' in your priesthood, right?"

"Yes, yes, but my purifying power is derived from the combination of the symbols of the 'sun' and 'fire', it is not my main priesthood, and the fire of purification is more of a collateral effect of the fire burning away the filth, so I can't purify my body."

Kuhl said very depressedly:

"I'm not like Ao, who makes 'purification' the main priesthood, damn it! When I signed the Frontier Pact, I laughed at Ao for picking the most useless perk from the Creator's treasury, but more than a thousand years later, it turned out that I was the idiot.

The Astral Dragon has fought valiantly against the subspace for more than a thousand years, and he is the most troublesome enemy of the subspace shadows, and he fights bravely in every battle but is still the purest of us. The shadows of the subspace are all at the mercy of his pervasive purifying power. ”

"Since it's an incidental ability, you can't use it well, so it's better to strip it out."

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said:

"Give your 'Fire Purification' power to the Light Seed without even giving it to Him, just give Him that 'symbolism', I learned from my girlfriend that the conceptual power between the gods can be 'gifted', right?"

"Yes, yes, but why would I do that?"

Kurkan snapped:

"It's going to cost me some of my power! I'm already in a bad situation. ”

"If you don't give it, I can still go to the brilliant sun! People are not personality gods like you, people are conceptual gods! Don't think I don't know about your grievances with the Creator, who calls you 'little animals'.

That's not entirely a compliment!

How cute the animals are when they are well-behaved, how annoying they are when they make trouble."

Murphy didn't pretend either, and he threatened:

"The concepts of the Moon of Death and the Brilliant Sun are probably some kind of 'iterative renewal' of the Creator after being annoyed by you stubborn creatures, a symbol of death and new life that He has given to him.

They exist in a very different form from yours and are higher than you!

As long as the sun and moon remain, these two conceptual gods will not die.

I think it's much easier for me to borrow strength from Him than from you, so please recognize your current situation, Kurkan, I can actually not help you.

You can also refuse me!

But one day in the future, when you sit in the Court of Creation, which I preside, may your eloquence be a little better and persuade me and the 'jury' to ignore your 'deserter' guilt.

Maybe a little more extreme!

You could go straight to the subspace and pinch me to death before I grow up, but I don't think the Sentinels will sit idly by.

Since they can create new gods, it shouldn't be difficult for them to slaughter one or two stupid gods.

To sum up, I can tell you plainly that I am not asking you! ”

"Let's do it another way."

Because the situation is so bad, Kurkan, who has no confidence to speak, is very tired and said:

"I help that seed to grow in the subspace, to nurture it with the fire of my sun, and at the same time to give power in His name to His believers in the physical world, which is also a symbolic process of giving."

"Don't promise Him! Murphy. ”

Hentai Mannis suddenly whispered in Murphy's ear:

"My rude-looking, cunning kind, tricks you into not understanding the mysteries of these gods, and in this way he tries to bind himself to the Light, so that when the Light is born, He can proudly call himself the 'Mother of Light'!

And He's been polluted.

Allowing Him to nurture the Light may cause the subspace to take advantage of it.

This one of my kind is so cunning, no wonder he can do such a thing as a deserter, let him strip him of the power of divinity, oh yes, by the way, help me get a 'flying' power, I suddenly feel like it's cool to grow wings. ”

"Shut up! Mannis, do you think I can't hear me? ”

Kurkan scolded:

"You don't want to mess with me after you mess with Ao, do you?"

"Okay, don't worry about my collaborators."

Murphy spread his hands and said to Kuhl about the showdown:

"Strip away your fire-purifying power and bestow it on the seed of light. And I promise you that I will help you to complete your own purification as soon as possible, and you don't even need to completely strip away the dark part of you, but only need to expel it with the help of some moment.

I'll help you convince Ao to help, I think I have this face. ”

“？”

Kurkan looked at Murphy with a suspicious attitude, and she said:

"You're so cute when you're so confident. Well, I believe you, but you have to remember that Alpha, you are the administrator, and every oath you utter comes with a symbolic one.

You promised, and you must do it.

So I suggest you don't swear in the future, lest you get into trouble that you can't handle. Also, I don't know what you're trying to do in shaping the Light, but you're doing something dangerous.

You can make the Light, which means you can also make something even crazier, and it's not just that you're going to use faith, it's a double-edged sword.

That's all there is to it.

Thanks for your help, by the way help me to say nice things in front of those guys, I won't let you do it for nothing, Alpha.

Remember!

Be sure to help the Aztecs, because the heart of the world is in the forest they guard! And the kingdom I protect is the gatekeeper of the heart of the world in the material world.

That's why dusk must pollute me.

Avalon owes me a favor.

His damned servant killed so many of my followers, and it was only because of my kindness that I was able to return to the Old World alive, and I give you this favor now, Alpha.

You took something from me, so why don't you take some from Him as well. ”
