Chapter 627: The World
"Is there such a thing? Is it serious?"
Robespierre was the only one of the people present who had not been made a god. Due to the recent doubling down on the forbidden spell and teaching Jennifer, the news is also the most closed. He looked up in astonishment and looked at the crowd.
"Sort of, my pastor and church haven't recruited many believers for me in the past few months, and even some pastors have quit the church, and those religious speculators are not very optimistic about me. β
Angela spread her hands and expressed helplessness: "There are indeed many people who are using this method to intimidate my followers. At present, in the major media and electronic networks, the prophecies of the end times are also in vogue. Although there are various versions, they all have the same idea, and they all believe that the next major earthquake that will affect the whole world is only the beginning of the extinction of mankind. Their purpose is the same, to deceive the crowd into believing that only a conversion to a certain god can lead to salvation from the great tribulation. I can't stop them with the cyber priesthood I have. β
Fortunately, she is a law god and does not rely on the faith of all beings. Otherwise, the current situation will be extremely embarrassing.
"Robespierre, do you know why Odin backed down in the Coral Sea War? That's because they decided that the god system established by AndrΓ© would have a hard time surviving this shock. β
Conshury sneered and took Angela's words: "Some of the gods who are close to Andre are indeed because they see hope from Andre, but most of the rest are for survival, such as Morgan and Rockefeller, on the one hand, because they need Andre's protection, and on the other hand, after the disaster, only Andre and Lady Liberty can provide them with divine support and save them from death." But everyone knows that Lady Liberty is stingy, and the chances of them getting help from Eris are slim. Otherwise, why should those supreme families fall to Andre. β
He has already passed the excitement period of Li Mochen's response to all calls and successfully built a god system, and he has seen through the truth behind this.
"It's also slowly passing by on my side, more than three million less than the peak five months ago. β
Li Mochen said lightly, as if he didn't care much.
But in fact, the situation is far more serious than he said, and the reason why the current high-level leaders in Australia and America are still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards him and are unwilling to continue to move closer to him is because of the next major earthquake.
Li Mochen, as a believer of 1.9 billion ancient gods and law gods, will definitely be able to survive it, but his followers may not. This will definitely deal a major blow to the Destiny Divine System, and it is difficult to say where this Divine System will go in the future.
As time goes on, this trend is becoming more and more apparent, and Lady Liberty is regaining the hearts and minds of the American people by giving security assurances.
Therefore, many people regretted it after joining the camp of the Church of Destiny, and the reason why they did not quit at this time was because of the deterrent power of the Coral Sea Naval Battle, which also gave ordinary believers some confidence in him.
But as the second largest faith in the world after the Lord of Radiance, and a god whose church organization is not yet perfect, Li Mochen's followers will inevitably become fat in the eyes of the gods.
Now the three major god systems in the Outlands are exhausting all kinds of means to compete for believers from him.
End-time prophecy is one of the most effective methods, and once the prophecy is fulfilled, one can imagine the consequences of his faith. It would be a toppled domino, as fragile as a city made of sand.
Luckily, he foresaw this a year ago and was well prepared.
And now facing the same situation, there is also the Lord of Light. This one is in a worse situation than he is. The 11.2 billion believers, presumably, it will be difficult for this person to take care of everything.
"So even if it's just for our own sake, try to defuse this disaster. In the next few days, you have to go all out to help me complete this forbidden spell-level 'supreme method'!"
Li Mochen's expression was condensed, and his eyes were cold: "Every step we take now determines the success or failure of the future, and this step now is especially important." β
β»β»β»β»
Just when Li Mochen and the others were discussing how to resolve this disaster, Ares, who had just experienced a war, returned to Mount Olympus, suspended in the astral plane.
At this time, he was much stronger than he was during the Battle of the Coral Sea five months ago. The ever-expanding scale of wars has made the source of war in this world flourish one after another. It also made Ares's divine power grow to the peak of Godhead 18, and he was about to open the door of false truth.
This is a realm that he has not been able to reach in helping Zeus conquer several worlds, none of which can support the rank above the main god. Only the world in which he was born can provide him with the possibility of moving upward.
Recently, Ares has been thinking that if his believers in the mortal world have not been lost and not taken by Li Mochen, it is likely that he has reached the rank of godhead nineteenth and deputy god king.
The loss of two legions in the Coral Sea also made him feel pain in his heart and lungs. Although the fourteen worlds they controlled in the outer regions were constantly replenishing his forces, the establishment of the Chosen Warriors of the Temple of War was restored to twenty-one legions again. But the vast majority of them are unable to exert their full strength in the Bright World.
Their god system was originally in the Norse god system, in the Celtic god system, and in the Slavic god system, and they escaped from the light world in embarrassment under the attack of the Radiant God Cult.
At that time, they had already suffered heavy casualties, and they had not brought out many chosen warriors who belonged to this world. And now, the accumulation of his churches in the past thousands of years has almost been buried by him in one fell swoop.
Andre Lee Wildenstein!
- Whenever he thinks of the name, Ares can't help but grit his teeth and get upset. But when he stepped into the supreme temple of Zeus, his eyes showed a slight fierceness, and his eyes were as sharp as knives to look at a woman beside him, and he was no longer flawless about the master of fate.
"Athena!"
There was hatred and jealousy in Ares's voice.
The maiden, dressed in a toga dress (in Greek dress), smiled and replied, "Long time no see, brother Ares." β
"You still have the face to come back? you've betrayed the Olympian godsβ"
Ares blushed, but he was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zeus on the throne: "You can't say that about your sister. Ares. Athena is on my orders to stay in this world, which is also Gaia's will, and she needs Athena's help. And now, for the cause of our Titan gods, Athena's power is indispensable. β
"Father!"
Ares snorted angrily, but then held back: "I don't like her, I can even say hate, but if you want it, father, I can turn a blind eye to her." However, if Athena is to return to the gods, she must make a contribution that will convince everyone. Your commands have not been disobeyed, but they cannot convince the gods who stand by your side. β
Ares was certainly irritable and irritable, but since the Trojan War, he has been trying to overcome his character flaws.
In the time of Sparta and Rome, he received many servants who had made great achievements in the mortal era, and received a wise staff team that could always give advice in his ear.
At this time, Ares had already heard the point of all Zeus's words, which was the last sentence - Athena's power was indispensable.
It was apparently a year-long war that upset his father. The Norse Aesir gods, the Radiant Cult, Ahura Mazda, and even the god line that ruled the fate of the gods all put a lot of pressure on them.
And as a vice-god king who has accumulated huge power in the main material realm, if Athena returns, it will indeed be a great benefit to the Olympian god system.
"Of course, Athena has been of great help to us right now, and she and Prometheus have promised to fight alongside us again. β
Zeus smiled and looked at Athena again: "So Cynthia (Artemis, the goddess of nature), is she still unwilling to return?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
Athena shook her head: "But you don't need to be angry, I guess it's the forces of this world that prevent her from doing this, and the natural priesthood is more susceptible to the will of the world." β
"I contacted her, Your Majesty. β
Apollo next to him looked a little helpless, he was Artemis's younger brother, so he couldn't get out of this matter.
"She told me that what we were doing thousands of years ago, and what we are doing now, has angered nature and put her very conditioned. But she loves you, and she is your favorite daughter, and I think if the Olympians need her, then she will be there for you. Even under the influence of the will of the world, she will find ways to reduce the pressure on us. β
"That's enough, I know what she's struggling with. β
Zeus was already satisfied, and he returned his gaze to his eyes, ten meters below his throne, where there was a huge map of the world of light.
"Ares, you don't know what kind of good news your sister has brought us, after the impact of the beast world, we will have a hundred Chosen Legions from the Outlands recognized by this world. β
"A hundred Chosen Legions?"
Ares's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and Olympus's legion was similar to that of the Aesir gods, equivalent to the two and a half storm companies of the previous Rising Sun Group.
A hundred legions of Chosen Warriors, that is, close to the strength of five angelic legions.
His staff team also quickly analyzed the reason for him.
"It's Gaia, isn't it?"
At this time, Ares couldn't help but admire his father again.
This must have been a compromise that Gaia had to make under pressure from the Lord of Light and all parties, which showed that Zeus's strategy against Gaia had taken effect.
Ever since his father returned to this world, he had been indifferent to the war with all sides. Even he didn't care much about his defeat in the mortal world, and he also intentionally or unintentionally reduced the power consumed in the main material realm.
Ares was once worried about this, and both the Aesir and the Cult of Radiance were extremely powerful forces. And the impact of the beast world on the light world will also change the balance of power between the two sides.
In the process of merging the two worlds, Odin, as the supreme god of the beast world, is likely to have the authority to grasp part of the world's roots. The warriors under his command who originated from the world of beasts will eventually be recognized by this world.
It would be an overwhelming force that could only be matched by the Lord of Radiance, who had been cultivating this world for thousands of years.
Now, however, Zeus easily got what he wanted.
Ares even speculated that their 'defeat' thousands of years ago may have been in Zeus's scheme. Otherwise, Zeus would have had to watch Gaia become the supreme god.
Ares knew that his father, who had come from an outland, had relied on Gaia thousands of years ago to finally gain a foothold in the Light World. But this will never be the opportunity to become the 'supreme god' and be taken into Gaia's pocket.
"That's right! Taking advantage of the turmoil of the world and the instability of the roots, she will help our warriors gain recognition. β
Zeus laughed, "But can't you have more? Athena, you have to go and talk to the Mother Goddess." To thwart Odin and Horus's coveting of the roots, this warrior is not enough. Now I have 200 Chosen Legions under my command. Also, Horus is also waiting for this day, he has also achieved great things in the Outlands in the past thousand years, and with the help of Isis, he has also conquered five worlds. This one was able to pull out at least six legions of angels in the Outlands. He and Isis are equally capable of influencing the Roots, and in just five days, he can bring his legion into the main material realm. β
"Perhaps, right? But the power of the Lord of Radiance at the root is far inferior to Gaia, and the two angelic legions are the limit of what he can do. β
Athena replied with a smile: "Father, a hundred Chosen Legions, there can't be more. This is not thousands of years ago, and Gaia now holds only a small portion of the Root Authority. Besides, she doesn't have no other choice, Ahura, or the Lord of Destiny?"
"Are you serious? Can she trust Ahura? As for the Lord of Destiny, are you sure he has enough strength to help her? Forget it, if the Mother Goddess insists on it, then let's do it first. But please tell her that I can't guarantee 100% fulfillment of her trust. β
At this time, Zeus's expression moved slightly: "Speaking of the master of fate, how is the situation in the mortal world?
The god Hermes, the son of Mea, the daughter of Zeus and Atlas, was named Mercury as the god in Rome.
It was also a powerful god β Hermes was the messenger of Zeus, conveying the will of the god-king. In addition, he is also a god in charge of commerce, travel, theft, deception, shadows, eloquence, animal husbandry, sports, athletics, and the guidance of the underworld, as well as a patron of magic.
During Roman times, all merchants, thieves, and assassins believed in him. In modern times, he is still believed by many Shadow Magicians.
"He tried to cope with the shock a few days later, and he did a lot of things. β
Hermes knew what Zeus was trying to ask: "He has prepared a lot of ships, and there are very complex arrays of magic energy burned on them, but I don't understand them. β
Although he was the protector of magic, his own knowledge of magic was limited, and the modern system of magic was completely different from that of the Hellenistic era.
"In addition to this, the Lord of Fate has given a large number of amulets to his followers, and has sent his followers out of their homes and camped in designated placesβ"
"It sounds very organized, it sounds, so do you think he can withstand the onslaught? Hermes?"
It was Apollo, the sun god, who asked this sentence, and his face was full of sunny smiles: "These actions of Him make me a little worried. β
Hermes spread his hands: "I can't be sure, Apollo. Maybe he had something else in store? I can't find out more, he is the master of fate after all, and even I can't find out what he's really like. What's more, there is a man named Reinhardt Heydrich under his current command, who has strong intelligence capabilities, and he even surpasses me in some aspects. However, I myself am not very optimistic, a world impact of this magnitude, even Rhea in his heyday, and even Gaia, can't stop it from subsided. And then there were not only earthquakes and tsunamis, but also a large number of meteors falling, all of which were fragments of the outer world that were shaken down. In addition, the dark world will also intersect with this side, and a large number of cracks will appear in the originally strong spatial barriers, which can tear people apart and release a large number of dark creatures. I guess he doesn't have the power to take care of his lamb, Athena, what do you think? I don't think anyone here knows him better than you?"
"Me?"
Athena hesitated slightly, but still spoke in the expectant gaze of Zeus and others: "According to my calculations, this will be a fourteen-magnitude earthquake shock, equivalent to 160 million to 180 million tons of TNT equivalent. β
When she found that Hermes and several people had a blank look on their faces, Athena couldn't help but shake her head again, and wisely dispelled the idea of continuing to explain: "You can understand that this is an attack of the Supreme God Rank, and a single blow can destroy a small world. If the Lord of Radiance and the Lady of Liberty do not intervene, then I expect that at least one-third of the population will die, and only the vast majority of the people in the northern hemisphere, the Old and New Worlds and the East, will survive. But everyone, since the world entered the modern era, there have been too many new things, all kinds of novel magic, all kinds of disciplines that analyze the nature of the world, and I can't be 100% sure, he must not be able to do it. β
"There's no 100% certainty, so you don't think he's likely to succeed, do you?"
Apollo heard the meaning of this man's words, and the expression on his face was slightly relaxed: "Then I can look forward to it now, and I should be able to take some believers from him and the Lord of Light afterwards." β
"But I suggest that you, father, help the Bright World survive this crisis. β
Athena exhorted with a very sincere expression: "This is conducive to your further integration into this world, and it can also allow my brother and sister to be recognized by this world." β
"The recognition of this world?" Zeus raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes deep in thought.
"Yes, the recognition of this world. The bright world now is different from thousands of years ago, and at that time, the root was the will of the world. It doesn't even have a will, it just naturally excludes everything that is bad for the world. But now, the collective subconscious of human beings has a power almost equal to that of the will of the root. I guess you've felt it, father, right? This is probably the difference between heaven and humanity in the East. β
Athena looked at Zeus: "If we can gain the approval of the collective subconscious of mankind, then even if the root continues to reject us, we don't have to care too much." And if you are rejected by it, then even Gaia will be of limited help to you. β
Areston, the god of war, sneered: "According to Athena, isn't that just for me to submit to humanity? There is no need to be so troublesome! If humans have a collective will, then why not crush their will, or weaken it to the point that it can't affect us? I think this is the best opportunity." β
"How can you say that you give in? andβ"
Athena frowned disapprovingly, but just as she wanted to explain. Zeus waved his hand indifferently: "Ares is right. The root is the root, and human beings are just weeds that grow on this world, and we can't abandon the root and care about the ideas of those weeds. β
"It's rare for me to approve of your and Ares' ideas, my brother. β
At this time, another majestic voice came from outside the temple, it was Poseidon, the god of the sea, who was walking in from outside the temple, he looked at Athena's indifferent gaze, full of disdain: "I think that if there is really a collective subconscious of human beings in this world, it should also be the Lord of Light and the Goddess of Liberty, right? Their followers account for half of the world's population." β
Seeing that Athena was speechless, Poseidon shook his head: "Do you still call yourself the patron of mankind? β
Zeus looked at him with a puzzled look: "What are you doing here, Poseidon? β
"Of course, I'm watching them. However, as far as I know now, it is unlikely that they will intervene to stop this world shock. At this time, all of you are afraid of getting hurt. And now, they don't have much interest in Australia. I think the only obstacle we have now is the Lord of Light and the Lord of Destiny. β
Poseidon said with a cold expression: "Thetis and her sisters and uncles have all moved, and she has even gathered many djinn on the southern sea. I guess she wants to help her god. β
Zeus's expression froze slightly, and Hermes, the god envoy standing in front of His Majesty, unleashed his divine power without waiting for his command. A picture appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which was the millions of 10,000-ton transport ships surrounded by a pentagram of star arrays.
And at this time, the people on the ship were dumping a large amount of black oil into the sea.
And there are three huge ships next to it, which are also pouring black oil into the sea.
"Is this the so-called oil? What is this doing?"
Ares's expression was puzzled: "It can't be a plan, right?"
The gods here also looked blank. Only Athena's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration.
She recognized the oils, which were supposed to be so-called 'damping oils'. Also known as resistance oil, anti-vibration oil. And the quality is extremely high, which should be from the own brand and factory of Light & Magic Industries.
However, when she thought of the attitude of Ares and the others before, she did not hesitate to press the idea of explaining the truth to them.
"Whatever he wants to do? Anyway, he just stopped it, can he burn the oil?" Hermes frowned.
"I'm afraid it's hard to do. β
At this time, Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, said with an indifferent face: "They have extracted the concept of burning within this range. Hekat (Diana, the goddess of magic) and Hela, the goddess of winter, are helping him. β
