Chapter 628: Dandy
During the Age of Discovery, all ocean-going merchant ships carried some vegetable oil on board. It is usually used for ballast and food, and when the wind and waves come, sailors will dump them on the surface of the sea to weaken the wind and waves and make the sea as smooth as possible, which is the so-called wave oil. Whaling ships also anoint the surface of the sea by hanging blubber on their ships as they cross deep waters. In modern times, governments around the world required search and rescue ships to carry oil cans with oil for the rescue mission, which was not abolished until after World War II. If Hela, if you're interested, you can do an experiment by pouring ordinary cooking oil into the pond, and then the whole pond will be mirrored, even in the face of strong winds and violent shocks, there will be no more ups and downs. β
At the southern end of the Pacific Ocean, Li Mochen was standing on the bow of a ship, and standing next to him at this time were the goddess of the sea, Thetis, the goddess of magic, Diana, the goddess of magic, and Hela, the goddess of freshly baked winter.
The first two are well-informed, and Thetis is the goddess who sheltered many medieval merchant ships, and is no stranger to Zhenlang oil.
Therefore, the object of Li Mochen's explanation at the moment is only Hela, the goddess of winter. The latter also looked relieved: "So, these oils can reduce the impact of the shock, right?"
"That's probably what it means, but it's much more troublesome to operate, and the one I used this time is also a high-quality damping oil, which is much better than vegetable oil and whale oil. In the next few days, nearly nine million tons of damping oil will be dumped here, which is the stock that Light & Magic Industries has been desperately producing for the past year. Before the impact happens, I will first use divine power and forbidden spells to combine the water and oil here to form a giant water shield with a total of ninety-nine layers, a width of fifty kilometers and a height of five kilometers, absorbing shock waves layer by layer. I named this self-created 'Supreme Method' 'Oil and Water Aegis'. β
Since it is a spell that is only suitable for this kind of occasion and is useless if used once, Li Mochen's name is very arbitrary.
"Oil and Water Aegis?"
Hela almost laughed out loud when she heard the name, but then she asked solemnly, "I guess those three god kings are likely to add fuel to the fire." Zeus or Ahura I'm not sure, but Odin will do it. There are so many humans in this world that they can influence the future 'God of God', so it's best to reduce some of them first, and then split your faith with the Lord of Radiance. β
"Guessed, that world three has been accelerating, and it is obvious that Odin has no mercy for his believers in the world of beasts. β
Li Mochen sneered mockingly: "But you can rest assured, my preparations have always taken into account the power of the three god kings. Besides, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't push the shockwave above fifteen, right? They were god kings, not gods. β
He looked ahead from afar: "According to Angela's calculations, these ninety-nine layers of shields can absorb at least 166 million tons of TNT. For the rest of the world, I'm going to go as far as I can. β
After removing 166 million tonnes of TNT equivalent, the remaining impact force is still equivalent to a magnitude 13 seismic wave. But this can already change the fate of most people in this world.
"Of all the magic I've seen, this so-called 'Oil and Water Aegis' of yours can be said to be stupid. The only thing to be commended for is the clever use of physics and the adaptation of local conditions to the extreme use of the environment. β
Diana, the goddess of magic, commented without emotion: "But it still has three irreparable flaws, and I can only make up for one." β
"Fear of fire, fear of ice!"
Li Mochen sighed: "So this time you have to depend on luck, bet on those people won't-"
As he was saying this, his expression suddenly moved slightly: "It seems that I don't have to worry about this!"
In the next moment, a king of angels with three pairs of purple-gold wings, armor condensed by holy light, a golden crown on his head, and a scepter in his hand, appeared in front of him.
It was Gabriel, the sheriff of the god of the Lord of Light, and the former goddess of justice, 'Themis'.
This person had no interest in talking to Li Mochen, she held a small magic conch in her hand, and then inhaled it gently, and a large amount of white qi poured into this area.
Hela and Thetis couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, she knew that this was the authority of the Lord of Light, and she had temporarily withdrawn the concept of 'ice' from here.
Li Mochen also smiled slightly: "It seems that we have common interests, don't we?"
"Then there's one last flaw. β
Diana looked at Li Mochen: "Even if it is weakened by these oil-mixed water shields, it is still a thirteenth-level shock wave, which is also close to the rank of a god." Except for the God King who has truly reached the Truth level, no one can resist such an impact, and it is impossible for them to continue casting spells in that environment, and you will eventually be torn apart by the shockwave. β
She pondered again, "I experienced the same thing once thousands of years ago. That is the fit of the other world with the light world, and the source of the dark world. Although there was no earthquake, it caused the so-called prehistoric flood and is the source of the legend of Noah's Ark. β
Li Mochen knew about the prehistoric flood, which was a flood that covered almost the entire world, which occurred between 10,000 and 16,000 years ago, and left records in various places.
For example, the East - "Huainanzi Lan Shen Xun": In ancient times, the four poles were wasted, Kyushu was divided, the sky was not covered, and the earth was not circumferential. The fire is not extinguished, and the water is vast and unstoppable. Beasts eat the people, and birds grab the old and weak. So Nuwa refined the five-colored stone to make up for the sky,
For example, ancient Babylon β The Epic of Gilgamesh: The flood was accompanied by a storm that flooded almost all the mountains on the continent overnight, and only those who lived and fled to the mountains survived.
In Ancient Mexico β Chimar Popoca's Graphic Textbook 'The heavens drew near to the earth, and in one day all men were wiped out, and the mountains were hidden in the flood.
There is also Atlantis, which is said to have been destroyed by a prehistoric flood in 10,000 BC, recorded in Greek texts.
There are more than 600 known legends about the Great Flood in this world, and many ancient occult texts record in detail everything that happened when the dark world and the light world merged.
In addition, legend has it that before the Dark World, this world also experienced a huge impact, which led to the almost extinction of the Dragon Race, the overlord of the sky and the ground, which was also the source of the three misty continents.
"Because I've been through it myself, I know that no one can stop this catastrophe, Andre. β
Diana issued a sincere exhortation: "You will be crushed to pieces under this impact!"
"It's dangerous, but I have a solution. β
Li Mochen didn't explain again this time: "When the time comes, you will know when you look at it, and let me keep the specific method secret." Whether it works out or not, I always have to give it a try. β
This is a merit that is almost like making up for the heavens, and he will not miss this opportunity no matter what.
As he said to Kang Xiuli and others, even if it is only for himself, even if it is only for profit, he must defuse or even prevent this disaster.
β»β»β»β»
In a small Church of Destiny on the outskirts of East Town, Melbourne, Australia, Dandy Galanz hesitated and took a divine power talisman from the white-clothed priest opposite.
The talisman costs 1,500 gold guilders, and it is claimed that it is only a cost. Above is a astrolabe, one of the symbols of the Lord of Destiny, and below is the image of a young girl holding a giant shield, which is Kristin, the Earth Angel recently canonized by the Church of Fate, meaning a follower of God. It is said that this person, also known as the Moon God Rabbit in Chinese, is an angel who assists the Lord of Destiny in ruling the earth and protecting all beings.
On either side of the Earth Angel Christine are the Battle Angel Robert and the Calamity Dragon Angel Hazel.
Dandy Galanz is still a little skeptical of the so-called "only the cost" that the Church of Destiny announces to believers. But when he got his hands on this talisman, he found that the material of this thing was really good.
Although Dandy used to be just an ordinary company employee, since the chaos that spread to Australia half a year ago, he has been thinking day and night about wanting to get a talisman of his own, and he has also put some effort into researching in this regard.
And this magic talisman in his hand has almost the magic power fluctuation of a ninth-level magic weapon, in today's era when the price of magic energy materials has risen sharply, the cost of this talisman is only more than 1,500 gold shields.
"Actually, it's okay not to buy this amulet, the Lord is the protector of all believers. He will not take back His protection for you just because you did not buy it. β
The white-clothed priest smiled and said, "This talisman is actually to deal with the cataclysm, it is expected that some very troublesome dark creatures will come out, and there may be a certain disorder in the social order." You must also be reminded that this thing can be used five times, sheltering twenty people in a high-level outlaw-level catastrophe. My Lord wants his followers to help each other, and I hope that wealthier believers like you will do what you can to help those who are poor, to those who are unable to defend themselves. β
"Of course, I will. β
Dandy's expression was slightly condensed, and he solemnly promised, but there was still a little hesitation in his eyes: "Lord Carol, I have heard many bad things about my lord recently. β
"Someone is preaching to you, right?"
Pastor Carroll's gaze was gentle and clear as water: "They preach that this world is about to be destroyed, and that the cataclysm in a few days is just the beginning. Only by returning to the old faith of this world can we be saved? There have been many such things lately. β
"There was Apollo, the god of the sun, and there were the priests of Heimdall, the lord of the dawn and the guardian god of Northern Europe, who organized several missions in my community. β
Dandy realized that there was no need to hide this matter, so he opened up and said: "There are also some experts on TV who say this, and they even say that our lord and the lord of light are just stealing the honor and authority of the old gods, saying that sooner or later my lord will be destroyed. And we, foolish who believe in Him, will be with our Lordβ"
"Blasphemy!"
Pastor Carol interrupted Dandy with a cold snort. There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes, but then he calmed down: "What do you think of yourself?Mr. Galanz? I remember that you used to believe in Frey, the Norse god of peace, right? I guess people like you can better recognize the mercy of my lord." β
Dandy Galanz couldn't help but be silent for a while, as Carol said. The importance and protection of the Lord of Destiny to believers can be felt by them as long as they are not blind.
He has always believed that the Lord of Fate is a benevolent god, and there is no doubt about that. What he doubted was only the power of fate.
This made Dandy very ashamed, but he had to doubt and understand. If it is really because of one's own beliefs that one's family is torn apart in the disaster, or even never recovered, then there is no way to regret it.
"I was so angry that I wanted to tear their mouths apart, but I didn't have the power. β
Dandy Galanz's face was complicated: "They say that this cataclysm is the revenge of the old gods on this world, making mortals rediscover their supreme majesty. It is also said that this is the punishment of Lady Liberty, and that the people of this kingdom have betrayed her, forgetting who created this kingdom. Therefore, the people here will be destroyed, and only those who are pious and repentant will survive. β
"Then do you still trust the Lord?"
Pastor Carroll asked rhetorically, and then he saw Dandy's expression struggling, and after ten breaths, the man's eyes were still not calm.
Carol couldn't help but shake her head: "You have to be clear, faith is not an exchange, and my lord does not need believers. Dandy, you should know, he is the only ancient god since the new century, and he is still a great law god. There is no mention of this in the sacred scriptures, but you must have understood, right? Our Lord's reward and protection to the believers is not an exchange for the believers' faith in Him. Rather, it is because as a human being, as a god, he thinks that he has a responsibility to the race and to the world. So He will fairly apply the divine power that he has received from you to every believer. β
He didn't let Dandy Galanz continue, but pointed to the astrolabe-shaped emblem on his chest.
If you still have doubts, give up His emblem. And if you still believe in your God, take it, take it, your family, and go to the place where the church is revealed. There your God and the Church will provide you with safe shelter. But Dandy, the glory and authority of the gods also need to be defended by the believersβ"
β»β»β»β»
After hesitating, Dandy Galanz decided to drive his family and food for ten days to the gathering place released by the Church of Destiny.
According to his understanding. It was a large farm on the south side of Melbourne, about 30 square kilometres in size, surrounded by endless plains and high ground.
It is said that the entire surrounding land has been purchased by the Church of Destiny as a shelter and hiding place for believers.
- If you take refuge here, you don't really have to worry about building collapses or flash floods.
When Dandy Galanz arrived here, he found that around this gathering place, there were three walls 25 meters high and 50 meters thick, which surrounded and guarded the land inside them like ancient city fortresses.
There were also a large number of fortresses, cannons and magic armor on top of those high walls, and teams of elite warriors were patrolling them.
This scene also made Galanz's several nervous family members settle down in an instant.
"It's like a fortress, when was it built? It looks so powerful, it feels like it can withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake. β
This is Dandy Galanz's wife, Uni Galanz, and then she is worried: "Speaking of earthquakes, our family will not be okay, right? β
Dandy frowned as well, something he was worried about, but staying home now would only be more dangerous.
"Don't worry too much, you two. β
A young girl in a white burqa came to their car: "Our lord has had an oracle a long time ago, as long as it is a building that can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher, and has been strengthened and repaired recently, there is no need to worry. The Church allows you to take refuge in a shelter just to prevent accidents. The cataclysm will happen, but our Lord will do his best to quell and stop it, and He will do everything in his power not to let His people suffer. β
Dandy was silent, and he recognized that the girl was not a priest, but a volunteer recruited by the Church of Destiny.
But he had reservations about the girl's words. The oracle of the Lord of Destiny, he had known about it twenty days ago.
But recently, experts in related fields have popularized science on TV, and it will be a 14-magnitude earthquake. In ancient times, it was seismic waves of this level that caused the death of countless dragons. It's just that because the bright world is wider today, it can withstand more power.
By the time the epicenter of the two worlds collided was transmitted to Australia, the magnitude of the earthquake was still as high as 10.4, which was enough to destroy all the buildings in the country.
They also uncovered the truth of the prehistoric Flood, which was not the Lord of Radiance, who saw that the earth was full of corruption, violence, and lawlessness, so he planned to use the flood to destroy the wicked, but only the catastrophe caused by the union of the two worlds.
"I know that many of the parishioners are worried, but what if we understand it in a different way: the gods have abandoned the country, and only our Lord is still trying to save it. β
The girl next to the car window has already entered the work mode: "Please show your driver's license and god emblem? Is there a believer who is not a believer in our church, is he a believer in the god of song and dance MJ? There is another one who has been in the church for less than a month! Then please pay 1,300 patips, 100 gold dong a day per person here, and new believers are 20 percent discount, and those who believe in His Majesty from God, if they are senior believers for more than three years, they can get a 50 percent discount." As you can see, our church has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this refuge. Although the government also has grants, most of the funds are raised by our church itself. There are only 100,000 camping sites designed here, and your arrival may take over the places of other believers. Well, your camp is in East 12, please follow the signs, someone will arrange it for you when you get there. β
Dandy Galanz had been prepared for the charges here, and he did not hesitate to pay 1,300 Australian guilders to the girl by the window.
According to the exchange rate, this is about 900 gold dong, which is equivalent to half a month's salary of their husband and wife. But Dandy Galanz knows that the church has indeed invested heavily in this. Just looking at this fortress-style camp, you can see that the cost is no less than a billion gold guilders, plus those armed forces and equipment, it may cost even more.
Although the believers of the Church of Destiny will donate to the church as long as they are able, several wealthy people in Australia have also donated billions of funds to the Church of Destiny in recent years.
But like this camp, the Church of Destiny has established no less than 100 in Australia.
"Damn it, you two of you, let us spend more than a thousand gold guilders!"
Mrs. Galanz had a headache: "What MJ to believe, can he save your life, or can he make you money?"
"I just like Jackson!"
Loya was the eldest son of the two, and he replied unruly in the back seat: "Do you believe in the gods just to get benefits from the gods? β
His sister Clemi said weakly: "It was your parents who made me slow down my conversion, I actually like the Lord of Fate very much, I wanted to convert a long time ago." β
"You are dead, can you still dance and sing?"
Mrs. Galanz continued to reprimand her child, and then she exclaimed, "Wow! Are there already so many believers in the Lord of Destiny?"
This was because the pickup truck they were in had already driven into the city gates, and then they saw countless tents appear in front of them.
Mrs. Galanz could not make out the number, and at a glance it was endless. They were all two-person tall tents, standing in an orderly manner on both sides of the road.
Then she was pleasantly surprised to find that the ground here seemed to have been preliminarily hardened, and it seemed to be connected to water and electricity. This made several people in the car feel a little uplifted, knowing that the next few days may not be as hard as they imagined.
However, at this time, Mrs. Galanz found that her husband, although he was driving the car, looked a little stunned and couldn't give up.
"Look at the road, dear, we seem to have walked through, East 12, we should turn left from the previous intersection. β
While she was reminding, her eyes showed confusion: "Do you have something on your mind, Dandy?"
"I'm thinking about that girl, what she just said. β
After Dandy Galanz came back to his senses, he sighed: "I think she is right, if you look at the current situation in Australia from a different angle." Isn't it the gods who are watching from the sidelines, and only our Lord is trying to save this country?"
