Chapter 677 Seal
"Just three hours ago, the twelfth and thirteenth regiments of the Divine Winged Knights under the Church of Destiny had settled in Santa Maria City. β
In Asgard, the temple belonging to Odin, the gods of the Aesir clan were also worried and restless about the war in Southern America.
Loki, the 'God of Fire and Deception', sat on his throne and calmly said his newly acquired information: "In addition, in the direction of Encarnacion, they are likely to hide an armored mechanical corps of more than 300,000 people, which is currently being further confirmed. I expect it to be the new defense force that the Brazilian government has set up with funding from America. Clearly, they had insight into our evacuation plans. β
He noticed that Odin's face became more somber, which made Loki feel pleasant, and slightly raised the corners of his lips as he spoke.
"Do you think they're going to launch an all-out offensive on this, Your Highness Loki?"
The one who questioned was Frigga, the queen of Asa, who knew that she had no loyalty to the Aesir gods. But limited to the contract, the words spoken by Odin and the public are still partially credible.
"It depends on what we choose, just two months ago, we had a three-day ceasefire on the front line. Then their navy attacked the port of Catoroundi on the Antolian mainland, sinking all the 1,400 transports we had gathered there, and then forced a breakthrough to capture Formosa, an important transportation hub. I think now, their attitude is the same. If we were to stop this war in Southern America, the Manifest Destiny Alliance would not hesitate to launch a decisive battle to drive us out to sea or even on land. β
Loki smiled slightly mockingly, "I know you don't want to admit it, but the thirty-two million warriors of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire in Southern America have indeed become hostages of the other party to some extent. β
Loki knew that all of this was actually the result of the aftermath of the Battle of Grandon. After losing the advantage of the gods and the sea power, the situation of the Aesir gods in Southern America is destined to deteriorate.
At first, the gods of Asa were deceived by appearances, confident that they would be able to hold Argentina, and even counterattacked Brazil again after increasing their troops. But now, everyone is aware of the cold malice hidden behind that front of the Lord of Destiny.
In Loki's view, Odin himself and Tyr also need to bear a lot of responsibility, and neither of them can afford to fail as gods of war. And the front-line commanders of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire did not dare to convey their worries to the gods even when they encountered major resistance, which also caused all the gods of the Aesir God System to misjudge and fail to accurately recognize the changes in the situation on the front line.
"Arrogance!"
'Goddess of Harvest and Harvest' Sif snorted coldly, "That's an army of up to 32 million people, the most elite warriors of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire!
"The problem is that not only do we have confidence in the Master of Destiny across from us, but the vast majority of people here probably think so too. You know, half a year ago, their army broke through our defense line head-on. Am I right?
Seeing that the faces of several gods, including Sif who still did not understand the situation, changed their faces slightly, Loki changed his voice again: "There is even worse news, the Lord of Fate met with Isis not long ago, and the two are said to have reached a certain agreement, the content of which is unknown to outsiders. His Majesty is advised to write to inquire and seek an explanation. β
Here, Odin interjected expressionlessly: "I have already asked, His Highness Isis said she has no comment. β
"Wow, no comment. β
Loki laughed, "I guess it has something to do with the Radiant Lord's anomaly, that person's divine level is likely to be in trouble again, and the Lord of Destiny needs to seek help." But this is just my personal speculation, and we have no way of knowing what the situation will be. β
This sentence suddenly caused many gods present to be buzzing, and almost all of them were whispering with different expressions.
"The Lord of Radiance remains a strong ally of ours, there is no doubt about that, and you need not care. β
Odin paused with the sword he held in his hand, and with his unrivaled majesty suppressed all the voices in the temple.
"I have summoned you here for the sake of the situation in Southern America. What we need is a solution to the current crisis, not a question of our allies over the hunt. Do you have anything to say?
"We have only two choices, Your Majesty!"
Tyre replied with a pale face: "First, we will withdraw our soldiers at any cost, but there will definitely be great casualties in doing so, and our high command thinks that it is very lucky to be able to withdraw 10 million people, and the first is to increase the number of troops by 15 million to stabilize our current front." But as a result, our logistics will be under great pressure, and Argentina's resources alone will not be able to afford our nearly 50 million soldiers to fight on that continent. And this will be a bottomless pit. Once we lose the sea dominance, those warriors of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire will have no return. β
"Tyr, can't you evacuate, can't you increase your troops?"
Tyr looked at where the voice came from, it was Thor, the god of thunder.
"Your Highness Thor, if we evacuate, they will not sit idly by. But if we choose to increase our troops, they will be happy to see it. β
"It's all very stupid. β
The dark god Hoddle frowned deeply: "On the side of Southern America, it can only take on 35 million people to fight?"
"If we continue to increase the squeeze of resources and taxes, 42 million people will be able to do so at the limit. But in doing so, it will also accelerate their purpose of increasing their faith. In addition, the Church of Light has expressed its displeasure with us on many occasions, which could lead to a complete breakdown of the alliance. β
Loki responded with a smile: "Our enemies are terrible, think about it, when the all-out war began, why would they go to any cost to counterattack and recapture the Brazilian Triangle industrial area centered on Rio de Janeiro?"
"Shouldn't that be your responsibility?
Thor stared at the God of Deception with annoyance, "It was because of your intelligence that we made the wrong decision. β
"Sharp accusations!" Loki didn't care, "However, I can't possibly know all about the interior of America, and His Highness Lord hasn't done it either, has it? This makes me deeply doubt the sincerity and ability of the Church of Light and the Olympian Divine Lineage, who are supposed to be responsible for containing the kingdom of America. β
"The most important miscalculation came from the level of the gods, we were unable to destroy their mining and magic breeding bases as we wanted, and we were unable to exert enough pressure on them on the frontal front. Also, five months ago I warned everyone that the information we had gathered was likely to be far from the facts, that we might be in a quagmire in Southern America, and that abandoning that side for the time being was the best strategic option, do you care?
Thor's breath was sluggish, obviously forced by Loki's words to say nothing, he could only turn his head sideways: "What about the 'unrestricted warfare method'? I heard that several special combat groups that we smuggled into the mainland of America have very good results?"
The so-called unrestricted warfare, also known as "asymmetric warfare", refers to battles or wars that transcend 'boundaries (and limits)', and are forms of warfare that jump out of the battlefield, including "ecological warfare", "trade warfare", "financial warfare", "terrorist warfare", etc., to attack the opponent's war confidence and war potential by unscrupulous means.
"Unfortunately, we are at a disadvantage in the current asymmetric war. Your Highness Thor, you don't know how many rebels there are in our occupied territory, do you?"
Loki sighed, as if he was distressed: "We did deal a major blow to the Americans, but their heavy industry and materials industry were not affected in any way, and then the many newspapers and television stations portrayed our Aesir gods as terrorists and demons, which made their faith even stronger. I suspect that Providence is in the realm of America, and there are now at least four billion devout believers. The power of their faith in their daily prayers is like a pillar of heaven!"
"I've heard that we already have a stockpile of 3,000 nuclear bombs of various types?
Hoddle, the god of darkness, asked thoughtfully, "If the purpose is to destroy each otherβ"
"You must be joking, aren't you? Hoddle? We have 3,000 nuclear bombs, but how about 10 times the other side? According to the numbers I investigated, it could be between 50,000 and 70,000. We can inflict heavy damage on their troops on the front line, but they can destroy all our fighters. β
Loki shook his head without waiting for Hoddle to finish, and projected a map into the hall.
"Do you know what a 'particle beam defense system' is? The Battle of Grandon Island, the particle beam cannon arrays on those warships, you should have seen Hoddle? And now, the particle beam weapon technology of that ancient eastern country is very mature, and they don't need magic energy arrays, nor do they need expensive magic energy materials, they can create more powerful, smaller in size, and cheaper particle beam weapons. β
"Light-Magic Industries bought their technology and embedded particle beam anti-navigation matrices in all the arrays of city towers under their control around the world. It may be hard for you to imagine that in the city of Sydney alone, they have now arranged a total of 17 particle beam defense and guidance matrices, with a total of 3,400 particle beam cannons. This can not only defend against missiles within a radius of 13,000 kilometers, but also effectively kill the gods within 3,000 kilometers. β
"Then all their latest models of magic armor, tanks, combat vehicles, were strengthened to cope with radiation. As long as it is not the center of the nuclear bomb explosion, then all of their soldiers wearing magic armor have a certain survivability. This has greatly increased their ability to deal with nuclear war - believe me, once the Pandora door of nuclear war is opened, it will be us who will regret it. This is my advice to you!"
Hoddle's face was gloomy, the naval battle of Grandon Island, they had tried to solve the Allied fleet group with the help of tactical nuclear missiles, but they were all intercepted without exception.
On their side, many sea beasts were killed and injured by the missiles on the other side - in terms of nuclear war capabilities alone, the Providence Alliance's power was indeed far superior to them.
"Hoddle, although you are not a god of war, if you have time, you should still learn about the enemy's latest weapons and equipment!"
Odin rubbed his forehead with a headache: "So in this state, we are powerless to solve it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, unlessβ"
Tyr's eyes flickered, "Unless we can put pressure on the Providential Alliance in other directions, or another divine battle, a war that will allow us to regain our advantage." If we can deal a heavy blow to the Divine Mandate System, then all the problems we are facing now can be solved. β
Odin snorted softly, and his eyes overflowed with blood-colored streamers: "But Tyr, in the past half a year, we have been looking for opportunities to fight, haven't we?"
Tyr couldn't help but be dumbfounded again, less than half a month after the Battle of Grandon Island, the four major god systems had been seeking a second god war. They never found the right momentβan opportunity to free the gods of Destiny from their tortoiseshell-like system of protections and have to confront them head-on.
But now, it is more likely that they will be forced to fight another decisive battle with the Providence God in Southern America.
There, the magic towers on the enemy front were as high as two thousand, and the magic energy array was also following from time to time. Those permanent fortresses can provide effective support for the gods of the Mandate of Heaven within 3,000 kilometers around. They also created a number of special models of artillery - small in caliber, but with an incredible rate of fire, they could pose an effective threat to the gods.
Even if Tyre thought on his heels, he could know the outcome of this war, and it would never be much better than Granddon Island.
"Let's suspend the retreat plan, first send the Demon Axe Legion and the 342nd Legion under the command of Duke Cobb to Southern America, and stabilize the Lord of Destiny first. However, the defense in the direction of 'Montevideo' must be strengthened! The current front is still too close, and the port capacity of the Uruguayan capital is crucial if it is to be evacuated. β
This is Lord the God of Temptation, who has clearly thought deeply: "Your Majesty, I think it's time for you to talk to them now. If we suffer another crushing defeat over there, it could shake up the whole world. In addition, I feel that time is getting tighter. β
Odin knew that the 'they' he was referring to were the allies of the Aesir gods.
"You're right, Lord that the pressure on the Destiny Alliance cannot be borne by our side alone. The Lord of Destiny is getting stronger, and we can't afford to expect a battlefield that is absolutely favorable to usβ"
At this moment, Odin's expression was slightly condensed, his eyes looked in a certain direction, and then his face became even more gloomy. There was an incomparably violent aura that radiated outside Odin's body, silencing many of the gods here.
β»β»β»β»
Earlier, over the Arctic ice cap.
"I'm not wrong, am I? What did you get by joining forces with Odin and Zeus? The faith in light is fading in the New World, and Olympus is eating away at your power from Greece in the Old World. β
"In the territories they occupy, you exhort your believers to be patient. But how do they do it? As for the oppression of the Radiant Believers day by day, you probably don't know how many believers I have now, on the surface it is 11 billion, but the real number has long exceeded 15 billion. If the Church of Truth is removed, then the world's first faith has changed hands by two, and this is what you got from the Alliance?"
"And Ahura, whose usurpation of the faith in truth has become even more blatant since the alliance. Has he worked for this alliance? Possibly, but now he is more focused on usurping your faith, and maybe in another year, two years, his foundation in Shinrikyo will be truly solid. As for you, you have to compromise and can't do anything. β
"The two of you should believe in my credibility, as long as you are willing to help me, then if there is a second god in this world in the future, it will definitely be His Highness Horus. You've all put that World Core in my hands, so what other options do you have than to cooperate with me?"
By Isis's side, Li Mochen was using his three-inch tongue to tirelessly try to persuade Isis, as well as the 'sun' beside her.
The Holy Mother of Light and the Lord of Light were unmoved, but Gaia, Zeus, and Rhea not far away were all cold-faced.
Li Mochen didn't do anything to cover up, and they could hear what Li Mochen was saying. But at present, the strange relationship between the two parties makes them suspicious.
The point is that the situation that this person said is exactly what they are most worried about right now. Once the two biggest forces join forces, the battle for God may be closed.
Isis was full of helplessness, she could probably guess Li Mochen's intentions, but she was helpless. The result of asking Li Mochen was that she couldn't forcefully reprimand this person thousands of miles away, and it was impossible for her to expose the situation of the Lord of Radiance to more people.
And even though he knew that the other party was provoking, Isis still irrepressibly resentful, the current alliance did harm to the interests of the Church of Light, and it was indeed too big for her to ignore. This made Isis's Yihai also have the idea of simply cooperating with Li Mochen from time to time, and he couldn't help himself at all.
"Don't be provoked by him, Horus. β
Isis's face was indifferent, and he communicated with the Lord of Radiance without any expression fluctuations.
"This Lord of Fate is our worst enemy, and he cannot be trusted!"
"But now it's you, my mother, who are being provoked. β
Horus's voice was not as hot and furious as his favorite image, but as cold as ice: "And you have to admit that what he said is the truth. This alliance, which I have never been optimistic about, has caused my followers to suffer that they should not have suffered. β
Isis sighed secretly, "Even if we want to cooperate with him, we must wait until your problem is solved. Until then, Horus, we must hold him back no matter what. β
"If you want to contain him, you shouldn't give him that World Protocore, it will make his advantage even more obvious. β
Horus disagreed: "In this battle of hearts, I may not lose to me, to the Shadow Moon Wolf. β
"Of course I believe you, Horus. β
Isis's eyes flickered: "But we have a safer, more secure way, why don't we use it?"
Li Mochen didn't know the conversation between their mother and son at all, and he still had a lotus tongue: "Do you know? Isis? I even predict where our next war will break out, it's not far from here, Alaska in the Federation, right?"
It was this sentence that made Isis tremble slightly, and stared coldly at Li Mochen.
"If you don't ask me for help this time, then I'll have to stay out of the war for the time being. But now, I have the idea of fighting you again, so guess who will win, Isis, who do you think will win between the two of us?"
But just as they were talking about this, the centaur Kajon flew up from inside the ice cap: "It's already all right, everyone, and then you just need to pour divine power into it." β
The seven god-kings present at this timeβLord of Radiance, Isis, Lord of Fate, Ishtar, Gaia, Zeus, and Rheaβlooked at each other before descending to the Pivot that Caron had prepared for them.
And Zeus, who was located on the easternmost side, asked with a twinkle in his eyes: "I want to know, how long can this seal him, Your Highness Charon?"
"Three to fifty years, it depends on your will, and whether the final divine power seal is strong. It was too late, and the time to seal him permanently had passed seven months ago. β
Caron replied with a wry smile: "And now, even if it is one more day to delay the time for him to wake up, it will allow us to give this world one more day of spare." β
"So the key is whether our will is firm and whether our divine power is coordinated?"
Li Mochen had already poured divine power into the sealing array arranged by Karon, causing beams of light to burst into the surrounding ice caps.
"I advise you to do your best, the Kaos variable is not a good thing for all of us. Especially you, Your Majesty Zeus!"
Li Mochen actually didn't understand why Gaia had to call this king of Olympus with him, originally this person was not among Li Mochen's invitations.
To temporarily seal Kaos, their six god-kings were actually enough.
And Zeus is the person Li Mochen is the most worried. When Gaia and her three children went all over the world to slaughter the descendants of Kaos, Zeus had not yet entered the world.
After becoming a god-king, he used the power of Nyx to balance Gaia with the heirs of Kaos. He sheltered a considerable number of the children of Kaos, making them faithful pillars of the Olympian Court.
Zeus didn't answer, only smiled coldly, and Gaia replied with a cold face: "I said, I can vouch for him! His power can help us, and I can also guarantee that he will not have any disadvantage to our actions and this sealing array." Ahura and Odin can also be attested. β
What she meant was that until this moment, the two god-kings were unaware.
"I hope so!"
The corners of Li Mochen's lips twitched, and there was still doubt in his eyes. But then he still kept his mouth shut, and silently continued to pour divine power into the sealing array.
He didn't really care much about the plans of these people.
If this seal can last for more than three years, Li Mochen has already got what he wants and is satisfied. As for the next situation, no matter how it develops, he is confident that he will be able to deal with it.
After about thirty minutes, the entire ice cap centered on this sealing array was shaking violently. The ice on the surface is constantly cracking, making a continuous 'click' sound, and the surrounding ice fog is also constantly slightly shaking, and one by one is shattered into a state of particles, which makes people's scalp tingle.
If it weren't for the power of the seven god-kings here, the explosion caused by nuclear fission would surely have spread throughout the Arctic ice cap.
Inspired by the Sealing Array, Kaos's consciousness is rapidly awakening, and his power is leaking out. On the one hand, the endless chaos is devouring their power, and on the other hand, it is constantly sending out vibrations.
Li Mochen's expression gradually calmed down. Although this Lord of Chaos has been asleep for thousands of years, his strength is not weak at all.
Is there a truth-level 'chaos', or a truth-level 'shock'? He didn't know if this person had any other powers, but these two alone were enough for him to stand firm in the position of the first-line god king, and to keep up with them. 'Chaos' and 'shock', one attack and one defense, can be said to complement each other!
As time passed, the resistance became more and more intense, and the third powerful truth-level theocracy of Kaos began to appear, and that was - the rift!
Including Li Mochen and Caron, there were more or less cracks in the bodies of the eight people. On the one hand, they have to suppress the cracking in their own bodies, and they also have to ensure that the surrounding matter does not 'crack' at the particle level.
Once the nuclear explosions continue to occur, then the sealing array of Charon will be a failure. Not only will it not be able to seal Kaos, but it will also cause this to awaken early.
But the power of the seven powerful god kings on the scene still prevented this possibility. Li Mochen's ultimate 'unity', 'law' and 'coordination' and so on can all play a certain role, but his divine power of fate is the main force against the rift.
At the same time, Li Mochen also felt that there were several lines of sight in the void, and he was looking over here.
There's Nix, the goddess of the night, Odin, the Norse god-king, and Ahula, the current lord of truthβbut none of them have any intention of interfering for the time being.
In addition to this sealing array, Caron also used his storage in the Mythological Age to arrange a large-scale defensive array to guard against external interference. And the seven god kings present at this time all have spare strength.
After about half an hour, the cracks and shocks in the ice sheet finally began to ease, and Kaos's resistance gradually weakened under the suppression of the sealing array.
But at the same time, a black mist rose from the deep sea under the ice sheet and rushed out of the ice sheet. Appear in front of them. The black mist quickly condensed, manifesting a three-inch figure.
It is an existence similar to the image of a succubus, a perfect combination of beauty, seduction and hideousness. And it was obviously a villain, but it showed overwhelming divine power and momentum, so that the seven god kings present instinctively restrained their divine thoughts, and gathered in their bodies to fight against the strong and horizontal pressure of thoughts, as well as the 'dyeing' that made them creepy.
Li Mochen felt that he was extremely happy right now, and that was a feeling that could make him addicted. is similar to drug use, but it is far more powerful than those drugs that are popular in the bright world, and a little contact is enough to make a person with a mind like Li Mochen sink for it.
That 'happiness' can be said to be pervasive, and this creation-level law power makes Li Mochen's body, even if it is just normal body fluids swimming, or simple thinking, it is like ascending to bliss.
And the ultimate pleasure made him can't help but have desires, wanting more of this kind of pleasure.
"What is this?"
Ishtar's eyes were suspicious, but then he realized the identity of this person, and then further strengthened his mental defenses.
She knew that among the people present, she was more likely to be polluted by the other party as the Lord of Hell.
"Interesting, who's stopping my partner in this world?"
The succubus-shaped girl looked at everyone with a smile, and then her gaze finally fixed on Li Mochen's body: "It should be you, right? I saw a lot of threads of cause and effect in you." I know you, Lord of the Destiny of this world, a powerful deity that has risen in just 30 years. Are you trying to stop me, Lord of the Destiny of this world?"
Li Mochen's eyes were fixed, the son of Kaos in the past, the oldest god king 'Fanas', was the god of both sexes.
And the one in front of him, the 'Slaanesh' of the five gods of chaos, is also a two-sex god, he is born in the power of pleasure, indulgence, pleasure, and even love. These four emotions originate from all life and are the source of his strength.
In addition, Eros, the wife of Kaos in Greek mythology, was also the first goddess of love, who was born out of chaos and participated in all that the world creates.
She is the most beautiful among the living gods, the basic driving force for the creation of all things at the beginning of the world, the original driving force for the birth of new life in the universe and the embodiment of the original source of natural creation, and the symbol of all love and lust.
- How similar is this to the 'Slaanesh' in the Five Gods of Chaos?
It is said that in the hell and the abyss, there are also more than a dozen demon kings and kings with similar powers. But in front of this one, their strength is as weak as ants.
"The spread of chaos is the enemy of all intelligent races. β
Li Mochen didn't flinch or retreat, he just looked directly at this 'Lord of Slaanesh', the Demon God of Chaos.
"From the moment I became the gods of this world, we were doomed to be enemies!"
"There is another possibility, serve me!"
Slaanesh looked at him with a smile: "I like you very much, you can get the most favor from me, and you can get the most gift from me." Are you fighting for the opportunity to become a god? I can give you what you want right now, and make your prestige cover the heavens and all the worlds. β
Li Mochen didn't have any emotion on his face, and seemed unmoved. But in fact, in his thoughts, he is resisting the waves of happiness and endless desires. Let him never be satisfied, let him unforgettable longing.
The image of Slaanesh in front of him has also overlapped with Angela, and has become more beautiful and seductive.
Fortunately, at this time, the sealing array of Caron was almost complete. It was expected that in three minutes at most, he would be able to get rid of the power of this Chaos Demon God.
"Tenacious will! You've intrigued me, and you're qualified to let me play a game with you. But before you can do that, you'll have to deal with two of your biggest troubles. β
Slaanesh smiled gloatingly, "Those two masters of the last era, they will never let you get out easily. You've also provoked the Sadomasochism now, causing the toy it unleashed to degenerate. And now, I'll add a little spice to your wonderful life, I hope it will satisfy you. β
At this moment, her body turned into black mist again, and at the same time, it was divided into seven parts, and they were thrown at the seven god kings present. Li Mochen instinctively resisted with his mana, but it was completely useless, those black mist still drilled in, and at his right arm, a strange mark like a flame was formed.
Li Mochen's heart was slightly tight, but then he couldn't take care of it. Just because of Gaia, Rhea and Zeus on the opposite side changed almost at the same time, and they pierced three dark green, mythical-level magic tools like spears, into the sealing array located in the deep sea one after another. Their power also deviated from the established cycle, distorting the magic pattern of the sealing array, forming a unique magic pattern structure inside.
At the same time, the tips of the three spears also stretched out countless roots, extending deep into the earth.
"Nature's Spear?"
Li Mochen carefully identified it, and then looked at Gaia coldly: "Is this your guarantee?
It was the artifact that accompanied Gaia, one of the most powerful mythical weapons in the hands of the Mother Goddess of Roots.
Isis's face was also cold: "Gaia, you betrayed our agreement. β
This time the seal, Li Mochen persuaded her, but it was Isis who was responsible for inviting Gaia. This made her feel angry in her heart, and she felt betrayed by the other party's teasing.
"My promise was to do everything in my power to help you seal him, and I did it, didn't I?"
Gaia smiled: "This sealing array has not been destroyed, we just left a little backhand. Far from weakening, this seal is stronger, and we have paid more than you think. β
"But what you do will make it easier for Kaos's power to penetrate into the outside world. β
Charon had already recognized the changes within the Sealing Array and realized what they had done. This did help to strengthen the seal, but the purpose of these three people was to use the sealing array to extract the power belonging to Kaos.
That is one of the abilities of the Spear of Nature's Bounty, which can extract and purify power from the body of any living being.
In addition, this will also be the biggest hidden danger of the sealing array. In the future, with just one thought from Gaia, this 'Chaos' Kaos can be liberated from the seal at any time.
"I know what you're worried about, but as a last resort, there's almost no chance I'll release it. β
Gaia, visibly impatient to entangle them, waved her hand nonchalantly, "That's it! β
