Chapter 925

Gawain never thought that the reason for the first problem with the God of War belief system would eventually point to the "economic war" between Cecil and Typhon, and on this basis, many things exceeded his expectations——

He did not expect that different gods would have different "tendencies", let alone how to predict the inclinations of gods from the direction of "ideological trends"; he did not expect that certain changes in human society would have such a direct influence on the corresponding gods , I didn't expect that some gods with "weak tolerance" would have such a big reaction...

At this moment, he had some doubts about whether his development plans were too advanced, or whether they had stepped into areas that should not have been involved.

But there is another voice in his heart making a sober judgment: the desire of mortals to pursue a better life is definitely not an original sin, and the fact that gods will gradually fall into madness due to the development of mortal civilization has been a long time ago. I know, now it's just that the influence has finally begun to appear in front of his eyes.

Looking back and carefully combing through everything Cecil has experienced along the way, he realized that those development plans have no choice at all - if there is no such thing, then Cecil will have been completely destroyed before the rise, and the southern border will be in the grandeur. When the wall leaked for the first time, there were heavy casualties, and the weak Anzu Kingdom was unable to repair the loopholes at the edge of the wasteland of Gondor. The civil war and the subsequent divine disaster would completely destroy Anzu, followed by Typhon's annexation war...

At that time, the killing efficiency of people may even be far better than a disaster.

But he still shook his head and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect our unconscious behavior to cause the God of War to go crazy..."

The next second, he heard Amoen's voice resounding in his mind, with a gentle chuckle: "Ah... Although all of this is indeed related to you, you may also overestimate the fact that you are in this short period of time. The effect of something done in a few years on a god.

"The rapid deterioration of God of War's situation should indeed be a recent thing, but he is not just driven mad by the kind of 'war' you just mentioned - at best, you just pushed a little on the edge of the cliff and carried out an overall It seems to be a trivial acceleration. As far as I understand... or guess, the madness of the God of War overwhelming the reason should have started a long time ago."

Gawain's expression changed in an instant. He heard that the old god in front of him seemed to have some inside information, and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I said that the inclination of the God of War determines that he is one of the most prone to madness, and you mortals... you mortals are too good at change, especially too good at changing their bottom line in the face of war. From You started throwing stones at each other, and you asked the God of War to witness more 'agreements' than any other gods have witnessed. However, through various excuses and tricks, you have torn up countless agreements without even looking for an excuse... …”

Amoen spoke unhurriedly, as if an indifferent bystander was judging the script on the stage of the world. There was no disgust in his tone, but there was no protection and explanation——

"Businessmen still need to be honest in the face of interests, but kings and lords can try their best to break the contract - yes, they asked the god of war to witness those contracts, but they thought of a suitable way to break the contract long before they prayed, so that everything can be broken. It seems fair and reasonable, and it can even deceive and move myself...

"So, mortals are almost 'schizophrenic' in the matter of war - then, the God of War is also schizophrenic, and even if it is not at first, he will quickly slide into this abyss."

Gawain couldn't help but glanced at Veronica,

From each other's eyes, they both saw complicated expressions.

"As a mortal, I don't seem to have anything to defend," Veronica said softly. "The mortal race...is indeed mostly full of contradictions and flaws."

"Yes, so the civilization of mortals is also full of contradictions and defects, and the gods that mortals believe in are also full of contradictions and defects. This is a closed ring, and all of us and gods are in this ring," said Ammon calmly. , "But I can still see where it shines - at least in any era, under any circumstance, there are 'people' trying to break the ring, sometimes mortals, sometimes gods, which shows that at least we don't have Accept it all."

Gawain stared at Amoen with a thoughtful expression. At this moment, he suddenly realized that this "God of Nature" was closer to a person than the last time he saw him, which made him inexplicably emerge. One thought: the growth of human nature.

Perhaps, after the long three thousand years of suspended animation and the recent "change", the wait of the former god is finally coming to fruition, he is shedding the last shackles of his divinity, his humanity is growing, and this is no longer the case. It is the humanity endowed by countless mortal thoughts gathered to him, but the "humanity" that truly belongs to Amoen himself...

Did Amoen notice this change?

There were some guesses in Gawain's mind, but he didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head slightly: "Let's go back to the goddess of magic... Amoen, do you know him... where is she now? "

"Unfortunately, I can't help you with this," said Ammon. "The Shadow Realm is a more complex place than you think. It has no continuous space in the conventional sense. It is a little deeper than here. It would appear disorganized and chaotic, and each mind that goes to the deepest will take a different path, so that no one but the Goddess of Magic herself will know where she has gone, and it will be impossible to track her."

"So the Shadow Realm still has such a nature?" Gawain said in surprise, and then he frowned, "So, we can give up the idea of ​​finding the Goddess of Magic..."

"Why are you so obsessed with finding her?" Ammon asked rhetorically, "Has her escape caused a lot of damage to you or your kingdom? Or do you want something from a god who has left the throne? "

Having said that, the god of the past paused for a while, and suddenly laughed lightly: "Ah, you seem to have been in touch with things related to gods, and also hold a lot of heritage and even remains related to gods... Could it be that you are here? What hobbies do you have in collecting?"

"No...of course not," Gawain was suddenly embarrassed, he had seen the "sense of humour" that Amoen occasionally showed up last time, but he wasn't quite used to it until this time, "it's just that It is a god who has done such a big thing under his own eyes, and I will inevitably be a little concerned."

"Then control your curiosity - I suggest you stop paying attention to this matter for the time being," Amoen restrained the smile in his tone and advised quite seriously, "You can't find her Yes, she will not have any contact with mortals in the short term. I know your disobedience plan, from the results, making a god 'harmless' should also meet your expectations, then you should let Miermi Na properly completes her isolation and self-purification... that's the safest thing to do."

"Actually, I thought so too...I accept your suggestion," Gawain thought for a while, then nodded, "But how long does she have to isolate and purify like this? Does it take at least three thousand years like you?"

He knows the time concept of these gods - basically the same as when he was a satellite spirit, so he should inquire in advance to see if this matter needs to be followed and paid attention, if the goddess of magic really intends to talk to Ah Like Morn, find a place to sleep for three thousand years before talking... Then when he goes back, he can almost forget about this matter. At most, he can find a sturdy stone or something like a Mithril plate and write a message on it. Then put it on the mountain, hoping that some hero or archaeologist will see it thousands of years later, and then look for the coffin board of the goddess of magic to see if she is alive...

Of course, there is a second plan, that is, he works hard and strives to remain in power after 3,000 years, and then waits for the goddess of magic to get out of a gap in the shadow world, and says to her in the past: Madam, guess the era has not changed...

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that the mortal civilization has survived the magic tide and the black trap, otherwise everything is an illusion.

"I can't give you an answer, but I guess it won't take long, maybe even in the eyes of you mortals," Amoen's voice suddenly came, interrupting Gawain's thinking, "She ...Although she seems to have followed a similar path as me, her break free action was obviously more successful and thorough than mine. The breath I sensed in her has almost completely washed away the divinity, and I don't know how she did it Yes, but she obviously paid a great price..."

Listening to the information revealed by Amoen, Gawain suddenly thought of the "escape route" of the goddess of magic this time——

She entered the lewd and then risked being captured by Naritel to infiltrate the deeper neural network, and, according to Duvalt's later report, also wandered specifically for a while in the chaotic region at the boundary of the neural network. It was precisely because of this last "wandering" that she fell into Naritel's cobwebs and almost failed to escape...

As a god who wants to break out of the cycle and has been planning for it for a long time, she can't do useless things while executing her plan.

That is to say, the magic net and the neural network, especially the "unconscious zone" at the edge of the neural network... are very important to the goddess of magic, and some of their properties are the key to her success in breaking free of the chains!

Veronica on the side obviously thought about the same thing as Gawain, she was also thoughtful, and the changes in her and Gawain's expressions did not escape Amone's keen eyes.

"It looks like you guys have some ideas?" Amoen was a little curious, "Can you tell me?"

Gawain looked at Amoen, and nodded after a brief hesitation.

"We built something called a 'neural network,'" he said. "It's made up of a lot of active human brain nodes that run on human thinking, and at the boundary of this network is a layer called …”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard Amoen's voice resounding in his mind: "Non-tentative thoughts?!"

Gawain looked at Amoun unexpectedly, his eyes widened slightly.

"So it is... So it is... Thrilling and subtle ideas... First restore yourself to the posture at the beginning of birth, and then wash off those restraints..." Amoen seemed to be greatly stimulated, and he actually muttered to himself , "As expected of a god in the field of magic, so reckless... but so lucky..."

The giant deer god was so excited that the originally constant glimmers of light on his body suddenly accelerated and flowed, and a slight tremor appeared at the end of his limbs. There was a trace of this body that had been static for three thousand years. A sign of activity, but in the next second, all the tremors stopped abruptly: the layers of restraints were still firmly trapping him.

Gawain was surprised that Amoen thought of the characteristics of the boundary area of ​​the neural network in an instant, and even the summary of "unbiased thought" was far more accurate than the "unconscious area" proposed by Cecil's technicians. , but also to fit its role in the previous "Howling Incident".

He instantly understood a lot of things, and said subconsciously: "You mean that the goddess of magic washed her divinity and cut off the 'chain' by 'immersing' herself in the chaotic human thoughts?"

"It should be like this... It is very likely that this is the case," Amoen responded from his own words, "This is an effective idea..."

Veronica couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a hasty tone: "Then use this method on other gods..."

"The premise is that it can be used on other gods," Ammon seemed to have calmed down from his excitement, and his tone made Gawain and Veronica quickly calm down, "Not every god can enter the magic net. ——There is only one god based on magic, Mirmina. And even if you think of a way to put the 'non-orientation trend' into practice...it shouldn't have any effect on other gods."

Gawain understood the first half of Amoen's words and agreed with them, but he was a little puzzled by the second paragraph: "Why doesn't it work?"

"I want to ask first, how large is the 'neural network' you're talking about? How many consciousnesses are there supporting it?"

Gao Wen thought for a while, and told him frankly: "It's actually still in its infancy... Although we are working hard to promote it, it currently has only tens of thousands of peak operating nodes..."

"This is the key point - any god, the mortal thoughts behind him, the scale is not comparable to tens of thousands of nodes."

Veronica frowned: "Why can the goddess of magic?"

"I guess she must have been 'starving' herself for a long time..." Amoen said leisurely.

Gao Wen: "..."

He thought of the special features of the goddess of magic, Mirmina, and the "habit" of this god never answering the prayers of believers, never performing miracles, and only responding to the prayers of believers to a minimum.

As far as he knew, the goddess was like this thousands of years ago.

He shook his head and muttered to himself: "Well, it seems that she has been 'hungry' for a long time..."
