Chapter 58: God Descent
Seeing that the "Divine Covenant" began to decline, the archbishop, who had been standing in the central area of the Divine Descent, finally made a move.
He quickly ran towards the edge of the Divine Land.
Chen Fan looked at the pair of mechanical legs that almost struck out the afterimage under the firelight, and countless thoughts were born in his heart.
I didn't expect the archbishop to look so fanatical on the surface, but in fact his mind is still very clear.
The fireball descended quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it came from high above everyone's heads.
Directly below the fireball, there was a long, straight jet of dark blue.
From the outside, this dark blue jet resembles the tail flame at the bottom of a rocket.
But Chen Fan knows that the scientific and technological content of the two is obviously not of the same level.
Under the push back of this slender jet, the speed of the fireball began to slow down, and the ground of the Divine Landing Place, which had been sprayed with thick fireproof materials, began to crackle and melt.
Feeling the heat wave coming from above his head, Chen Fan subconsciously took half a step back.
Like Chen Fan, the priests and bishops around him retreated, but even so, their eyes were filled with a frenzied lightβa gaze that bordered on madness, unlike the archbishop.
Looking at the fanatical gaze in the eyes of everyone around him, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
He had no doubt that at the Archbishop's command, these priests and bishops would rush to this fireball!
He shook his head, leaving the image of the river crab easily in his mind behind.
Chen Fan took a deep breath of the scorching air, narrowed his eyes, and carefully studied the falling fireball.
It was an ellipsoid-shaped starship, with a height of about ten meters and a central axis radius of about five meters, and it looked like a slightly bloated egg.
Its surface is filled with a large number of mysterious hollow lines, and those hot and cool flames erupt from these hollow lines.
[Fancy designs with no practical value.] γ
[Also, this machine wants to correct your point of view, this thing is not a starship, it is a shuttle ship in the sky.] γ
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked Yi in the bottom of his heart: "What do you say?" β
[It's too small, it's as simple as that. γ
Chen Fan asked again: 'Is the scene of the sky collapsing and overturning also a work that can be made by a regular interstellar civilization?' β
One fell silent.
Long.
[This unit is not clear.] γ
Hearing this answer, Chen Fanton was surprised: "You don't know? β
'Isn't there any information on this in the database of the ninth-level civilization?' β
[This information is not available in the local database.] γ
Yi corrected: [According to the understanding of this machine, the anomaly in the sky can only be a super-large-scale hologram. γ
[But ......]
[Such a large-scale ultra-high fidelity holographic projection should also be matched with corresponding sensory effects, such as sound, smell, etc....... This is quite technically demanding. γ
[This is a clear difference from the strength shown by the other party.] γ
'You mean those techniques in the main church?' β
[No, it's the technology that this shuttle ship shows. γ
[The drive mode of this shuttle ship is the traditional working fluid drive, judging from the tail flame, the other party should use fusion energy. γ
[Generally, only low-level interstellar civilizations that have not yet mastered curvature navigation technology will use such a backward driving method.] γ
[And these low-level interstellar civilizations are absolutely unable to create holographic projections with such a large range and such a high degree of realism. γ
[It's contradictory. γ
The moment the sound fell, the egg-shaped starship not far away that looked like a fireball also landed steadily in the central area of the God's Land.
As the strange, chanting prayer sounded again, the flames lingering on the surface of the egg-shaped starship gradually converged into the starship's hollowed-out shell.
The archbishop stepped forward slowly against the heat wave that had not yet completely dissipated, and then knelt down on one knee in front of the starship: "Lord Divine Messenger, welcome to your arrival. β
The surrounding clergy and believers were no exception, and they all knelt on one knee.
Oracle?
What about the goddess who said that she was going to come into the world?
Under Chen Fan's bewildered gaze, the hatch on the side of the egg-shaped starship slowly opened.
A tall figure appeared inside the hatch.
The next moment, the figure was completely clear.
It was an unusually "tall" ...... Humanoid Machines - Conservatively estimated, it is more than four meters tall.
Compared to the archbishop's mechanical prosthesis, the humanoid machine was taller and more elaborate.
Its sleek metal body shimmered with a faint metallic sheen in the surrounding firelight, and its two electronic eyes shimmered slightly.
Chen Fan's heart suddenly felt a little confused: is this thing a mechanized human, or is it ......
[It's a robot.] γ
Yi quickly made a judgment and added: [Pure robot. γ
"That's an oracle."
Gao Yuan on the side was afraid that Chen Fan would make a mess, so he was explaining to him in a low voice: "Since the first year of Varela, the goddess has completely returned to the kingdom of God and has never really come to the world. β
"Every time the gods descend to the ceremony, it is actually the messenger sent by the goddess."
Chen Fan suddenly realized.
An angel is a god too, isn't it?
I have to say that the church understands gimmicks and gilding.
It's a pity.
Chen Fan felt a little regretful in his heart, originally he still wanted to be able to see the appearance of the goddess with his own eyes - after all, the portraits and statues depict the goddess so perfectly, it is not a light death, right?
β¦β¦
The oracle slowly descended the steps and stood steadily on the ground.
It walked up to the archbishop and looked up at the archbishop who was kneeling on the ground.
The stiff electronic synthesizer said, "You are doing a good job, the Lord is satisfied." β
"The 160th year of the Varela calendar is about to begin, and the Lord wants you to continue to do your job."
Without waiting for the archbishop to reply, the mechanical envoy slowly turned, and the electronic eyes swept over the five Chosen and the rest of the priests in turn.
"I have brought the oracle of the goddess to this world."
The mechanical envoy made a stiff synthesized electronic sound again.
At the same time, an intense, fan-shaped beam of light shot out of the egg-shaped starship and slowly sketched a vague figure in the air.
The portrait gradually becomes clearer.
The goddess of divine dignity and beauty also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In Chen Fan's view, who is accustomed to high-end holograms, this holographic goddess statue is almost indistinguishable from the holograms in the main church hall, and it also exudes a shoddy meaning - not to mention the stiffness of the movements, the blurring of its legs is almost like a mosaic.
But for the believers of Varela, this crudely made hologram is the perfect embodiment of the goddess's earth-shattering powers.
Around the place of the descent, believers knelt on the cold concrete floor and offered the highest rites to the so-called goddess.
