Boom!
A thick dark cloud floated from the sky and quickly enveloped the entire city of New Ross. Thick and violent thunder condensed in the clouds. The sky suddenly became dark, the air pressure became low, and a biting cold wind blew on the streets, mixed with dust. Torn newspapers were flying.
Not only the city of New Ross, but the entire county of Wexford was covered by dark clouds. If you look down from the stratosphere, you can see a black cyclone hovering on the island, slowly rotating, and still expanding. In the center of the cyclone, there is a crystal coffin covered with black feathers. , lying inside was a naked young man. He stood up holding the edge of the coffin, a trace of confusion flashed across his handsome face.
He staggered out of the crystal coffin, still feeling a little unable to adapt to walking, but he kept pace with each step, his slightly bowed back straightened, his steps became steady, and his speed became faster and faster.
Pushing aside the boulder blocking the way forward, he arrived at the top of the castle, looking at the ruins around him with a confused expression, as if he had lost his memory and was at a loss.
He didn't know why he appeared here, and why he was lying in the ruins. The hunger in his belly interrupted his brain-racking memory search. He began to look for food, but there were only wet moss and crows in the ruins. corpses, not a single living creature.
He bent down to pick up the carcass of a crow, opened his mouth, tore off a piece of sour raw meat, chewed it twice, frowned suddenly, and spat it out without hesitation.
The flesh was pale and not a drop of blood could be squeezed out. He hated the taste.
Rocks, soil, dead trees... There seemed to be nothing around the castle that could be used to fill his stomach. After sleeping for two thousand years, he became increasingly hungry as his chaotic consciousness awakened, and every cell in his body , all moaning in need.
The sound of the waves attracted his attention, and he looked towards the rough sea. There, at some point, shoals of fish appeared. Lampreys with slender bodies and no scales were rolling under the sea. They cheered. , the soft body kept twisting, causing large waves to hit the cliff, trying to attract the attention of the handsome man.
The man stared at them for a long time, as if he felt something. He turned back to the cellar, picked up the crystal coffin, returned to the shore, started running... and jumped high!
Plop!
The slender and strong body is like a swimming dragon, comparable to the swimming posture of a professional athlete, without any splashing. The handsome man was walking under the sea. Wherever he passed, swarms of lampreys shunned and lifted up the crystal coffin with their bodies. They followed him and swam quickly to the distant port.
There...
It smells like food!
..................................................
The Sunshine Cirque's motorcade slowly left, and Ma Wei stood at the door of the church, looking up at the violent dark clouds above his head, his face solemn.
The moment the dark clouds appeared, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and the hairs on his body stood on end. At first, he thought it was a sequelae of long-term sailing at sea and that he was too sensitive, but the swirling dark clouds reminded him of the sea of death shrouded in storms and dark clouds all day long.
The storm three years ago was also such a devastating scene...
"dad."
Yunia tugged on Mavey's sleeve, pointed to the eastern sky and said, "There is a very powerful power fluctuation there."
"What? Are other gods using magic?"
"I don't know, but something has awakened." Yunia blinked and said, "Can I have curry tonight?"
The sudden jump from strange power to food made Ma Wei's brain barely turn around. He picked up Yunia, pinched his daughter's little nose, and said: "You can eat whatever you want, but you tell dad first that you What did you feel?"
"Um..."
Yunia looked at the east steadily, felt it carefully, and replied: "The other party has just woken up and cannot fully control the powerful power. The crazy spread of magic has caused strange phenomena in the sky. If you want to kill it, It must be done quickly, otherwise... I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Is it an enemy?" the source asked.
Ma Wei glared at him: "Even if an existence that can cause such environmental fluctuations is not an enemy, it is difficult to become a friend."
"Then what should we do? Take advantage of the other party's weakness..."
With his palms facing down, Lai Wen made a fierce expression: "Do it?"
If the opponent is an enemy, taking advantage of the situation is indeed a good choice, but the problem is...
"Can you beat it?" Ma Wei looked at Yunia.
"Okay now."
Without saying anything, Ma Wei immediately gave up the idea of taking action.
Yes now, means no in the future.
By the time they rush over and find each other, it might be too late.
Combined with what Yunia just said, if you want to kill the opponent, you must be fast, Ma Wei realized that the extraordinary existence that awakened this time was far more powerful than the God of the Rat Swarm.
What changes are happening in this world?
Why do strange beings resurrect one after another?
Is there any order in it?
In the past half month since the arrival of the gods, first a curse appeared in Wexford County, and then there was a supernatural being that could cause visions in the world...
The situation becomes increasingly chaotic and bizarre.
Ma Wei put up the sign, closed the church door, and ended today's 'business' early. He needed to think carefully and sort out the clues he had obtained so far.
"Boss, I'm afraid your previous guess was correct." Lai Wen came over and said: "First it was the God of the Rat Pack, and then there was the ghost thing that suddenly appeared today. I also feel that these extraordinary beings were awakened by others."
Ma Wei nodded: "It is definitely not easy to awaken the power of this extraordinary existence. As of now, the only ones we know that have the strength and qualifications to do these things are the big churches."
"Do you suspect that the Church of the Three Destinies did it?"
"It's just a suspicion, not a conclusion. The Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny has the strength to do this, but they may not necessarily do it, because every emergence of extraordinary existence will cause a large number of civilian casualties. What good will this do to them? The Three Goddess of Destiny We also need believers!”
"What about the God of Wisdom? Is it possible that they deliberately awakened these extraordinary beings to weaken the strength of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny before withdrawing from the Kingdom of Windsor?"
"impossible."
Ma Wei rejected his conjecture without hesitation: "Whether it is the God of Rats or the extraordinary beings who just woke up, they can't even defeat Yunia, how can they be the opponent of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny? Once these extraordinary beings Their existence has caused huge casualties to civilians, and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny can take the opportunity to eliminate them, create a tall and majestic image of itself in front of the people, and attract more believers. In this case, wouldn't it be like shooting itself in the foot?"
"Then... According to what you said, the Church of the Three Destinies is also suspected! Can't they direct and act on their own?"
"Of course you can direct and act by yourself, but is it necessary? The Kingdom of Windsor is already in their possession, and a few small churches are not enough to shake their status. As long as they work slowly, they will definitely be able to clear away the internal hidden dangers and slowly recruit people. Believer, isn't it too stupid to use this method of cutting flesh with a sharp knife?" Ma Wei said: "What's more, the Kingdom of Windsor is about to launch a war. If you do these small tricks on the eve of the war, cerebral thrombosis will not be possible in ten years. "
"What if the news of the war leaks? Other large churches take the opportunity to cause trouble and plan to set the backyard of the Kingdom of Windsor on fire. They will be overwhelmed..."
"If you want to cause trouble, you should also make trouble on the East Island where the royal capital is located. Why are you doing this on the West Island where there are no military mobilizations and 200,000 troops are stationed? Will the bishops of various dioceses just sit back and do nothing? Unless..." Narrowing his eyes, Ma Wei thought of a possibility: "There is more than one extraordinary existence they want to awaken. If it blooms everywhere, the Kingdom of Windsor will really have a headache, and it will even affect the subsequent war plan."
With the emergence of extraordinary beings, the situation gradually escaped Ma Wei's prediction and control. Not to mention him, even the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny probably did not expect this!
If extraordinary beings appear not only in the Kingdom of Windsor, then the situation will be even more serious. The worst case scenario...
The whole world will be in chaos!
Chaos means there is no order or rules at all. This kind of chaos is the last thing Ma Wei wants to see!
"We have too few clues..."
Ma Wei took out the secret text on the stone tablet from his arms and said in a deep voice: "Now I am sure that there was a very important purpose behind the ship sent by the God of Wisdom to the Sea of Death three years ago... I’m afraid they are not after the gold and silver treasures, but the stone tablet of doom!”
"Boss."
The letter suddenly frowned and said with a strange expression: "There seems to be a small problem with the main premise of our thinking."
"what is the problem?"
"Did gods really come to those big churches?"
Ma Wei was stunned when he heard this, and the letter hurriedly added: "Think about it, until now, we have been reasoning based on the idea that gods are coming in the same way in big churches, but no one has seen them. God!"
"Gilbert Wilkin received the oracle." Ma Wei shook his head: "He can indeed use the power given by Dambala, the god of Voodoo, so there must be a god in the big church."
"The oracle does not mean that the gods have really arrived." The message with clear thinking said: "According to the clues we obtained, the earthquake more than half a month ago was directly related to the arrival of the gods. But the God of Wisdom three years ago The sect went to the Sea of Death and brought out a stone tablet of doom related to extraordinary power. This proves that they have long known that extraordinary power exists in the world. In this case..."
"Why didn't the Wisdom Cult, which had the ability to lay plans as early as three years ago, launch a war immediately? Instead, the Kingdom of Windsor, which had not obtained the Stone of Doom, came from behind and declared war on the Kingdom of Romanov first?"
"The Kingdom of Romanov, which has lost the protection of the Apocalypse Cult, is the tenderest piece of fat. The Wisdom Cult can take advantage of it, prepare for war in advance, and grab the biggest piece of cake!"
"Who said that?" Ma Wei raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Before the gods come, the royal power crushes the divine power. Even if the Wisdom God Religion learns about the existence of extraordinary power in advance, it may not be able to persuade King Yin of the Popang Kingdom. Fan Fourteen is preparing for war! You know, decades ago, the Popang Kingdom just experienced a huge defeat, and it still hasn’t recovered yet!”
"Oh yes...how could I forget this..."
Lai Wen grinned and stopped talking.
There was a dead silence in the church, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Ma Wei thought about what the message said, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and his eyes flickered.
If the gods of the Great Church did not come, but merely delivered oracles, then...
Isn’t this an excellent time for the development of the Church of Truth?
Junia was sitting next to her father. She was not interested in these things. She was holding a notebook and scribbling. Instead, Fat Orange squatting next to her broke the silence.
"I think the statement in the communication is possible." Fat Orange said: "Although I don't know what the senior officials of the Church of the Three Destinies are thinking about, but if it were me, I would definitely eradicate the instability within the kingdom first. factors to start a war again.”
"Don't look at the "New Religious Law" promulgated by the Kingdom of Windsor. It seems to be menacing, but in fact it is a gentle method. A god with millions of believers must be many times more powerful than the god of a small church. Why not use thunderous methods? How about a direct dimensionality reduction attack to eradicate us?"
"You don't need to attack the believers. You only need to kill the gods of the small churches. The faith will naturally collapse. Everything will be back on track. Wouldn't it be better if the entire kingdom's faith is unified?"
"They have been reluctant to use force because they are probably not sure of killing the gods. In other words, even if they can kill the gods of the small church, their own strength will be greatly damaged."
"The basis of all this is based on the fact that their gods have not come. If the three goddesses of destiny come, they are so powerful that they don't have to be afraid of the gods of the small church, right?"
After listening to Fat Orange's reasoning, Yunia, who was doodling, stopped her pencil and leaned into her father's arms, shrinking her neck and trembling.
In the five sentences of Fat Orange, he mentioned the god who killed the small church three times. As the person involved, Yunia...
Thank you very much for it.
"Goddess, I don't mean anything against you."
Fat Orange, who noticed her strange expression, hurriedly ran over and nuzzled in Yunia's arms, showing no indifference to others.
Encouraged by the letter, he wanted to come up and touch Fat Orange's head to express his friendship, but he received a paw and a threatening breath from the other party.
Ma Wei stood up and walked under the statue. While looking up at the statue with a kind and gentle expression, he sighed: "If your guess is correct, the consequences will be too terrible..."
"What do you mean?" the source asked in confusion: "The gods of the big church have not come. Isn't this a good thing for us?"
"I never feel that I am special. Now that the goddess of truth, Junia, has arrived, it is only a matter of time before the gods of other churches arrive, or there are certain conditions."
Ma Wei said softly: "If you think about it carefully, in addition to digging out the roots of other churches, the New Religious Law probably has another purpose, which is to continuously exert pressure and force other churches with gods to leave."
"The Cult of Wisdom, the Cult of Judgment, the Cult of Abundance... they all have their own kingdoms as backgrounds, so they won't be homeless."
"Today, after the Age of Discovery, all the land in the world has been discovered. They have either become colonies or have their own culture, beliefs and countries. In the true sense, there is no 'promised land' where the church exists, only The Romanov Kingdom, but they implement a policy of non-religion. According to common sense, a small church that is not strong would not dare to set foot on that land, but what if a war breaks out? The Romanov Kingdom without the support of gods will definitely The policy will be changed and then..."
"Small churches must be flocking here, scrambling to grab the last opportunity for development."
"I've been thinking, why does the Kingdom of Windsor dare to use all its strength to launch a full-scale war? Aren't they afraid of being backstabbed by other kingdoms?"
"Now it seems that these kingdoms have already reached a consensus, using the "New Religious Law" or other similar laws to peacefully force away the small churches in their own countries, and drive them to the Romanov Kingdom without shedding a drop of blood, and then ...Catch them all in one fell swoop.”
"How clever..." Ma Wei laughed at himself: "The bait was in New Ross City, but the hook was set in the Romanov Kingdom thousands of miles away."
"Such an insidious and sinister plan really fits the style of those old immortals hiding in the dark."
"This is the real bottom line..."
