Chapter 1188 Divine Sacrifice 【Subscription】
But Zong Shen is more concerned about after the projection of the Calamity Raven God descends.
What does that high god want to convey to him?
From the previous insight into the situation, it is not difficult to see that the God of Calamity Raven has spied some tricks on the edge of the rules.
This made him change his mind and decide to contact himself.
So what is it that makes a god interested in him?
This is what made Zong Shen most curious.
In other words, he is concerned with what the Calamity Raven God sees at the border of rules.
It is also the real focus of the next step!
And after this incident, Zong Shen changed his view of the gods.
In fact, the idea of the gods may not be as complicated as he thought.
Compared with the sentient beings in the endless continent, the gods are existences in another latitude.
It's like high-dimensional overlooking low-dimensional.
Their appeal to the main material world like the Endless Continent is the power of faith.
In addition, there are many restrictions for the gods to interfere with the main material world.
Even without the cover of the lord system, it is difficult for the gods to enter the lower realm.
The difficulty is comparable to the collapse of high dimensions into low dimensions.
This is a kind of self-protection of the will of the world, and it is also a natural isolation barrier.
Leaving aside the level of power, the essence of the gods alone seems to be the embodiment of the ultimate mastery of a certain world rule, which can be understood as the source of a certain rule.
In other words, the combat power of the gods must not be roughly measured by the standards of the endless continent.
The so-called legends, epics, and legends cannot describe the power of God.
Maybe the demigod level is barely enough, but at most it can only touch the fur.
For the gods who master the power of rules, they naturally have the ability to suppress most of the forces in the main material world, and the point of all this is——
— Divine power!
Whether it is weak divine power, weak divine power, medium divine power, strong divine power, or supernatural power, none of them can be resisted by the power in the main material world.
That seemed like new territory.
In addition, the extreme use of rules and the suppression of personality are also important manifestations of the strength of gods.
Thinking about the gods made him longing.
It was like seeing a corner of the new world faintly in the vast night sky.
"call!"
After taking a long breath of relief, Zong Shen shook off the blood on the sword.
Little Heizi who was standing beside him also saw this scene and was stunned.
"This...so big!"
"This must be a powerful ancestor true dragon!"
Little Heizi was so shocked that he almost paid homage on the spot.
This is derived from the ancestor worship in the bones of the real dragon.
In fact, the concept of ancestor true dragon is quite broad.
It broadly refers to the first dragon of each Material Plane.
They come from the star realm, have the most powerful true dragon blood, and are basically the relative descendants of dragon gods.
Born with weak divine power, the beginning is the strength of demigod level.
The ancestral dragons reproduced after mating.
After that, after a long period of changes, it became a stable branch of the dragon vein.
In fact, whether it is a five-color dragon or a metal dragon, or other types of real dragons.
If you trace back to the source, you can all end up on the Nine-headed Dragon God.
So when Xiao Heizi saw the dragon skeleton, he would inevitably be shocked.
After all, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as its ancestors and elders.
Without responding to Xiao Heizi's shock, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and his expression became extraordinarily serious.
Because he knew very well that the next step was the real highlight!
...
"Come on! Come on!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Millions of followers of the Calamity Raven Church cheered.
Those church elders stood in front, watching the dragon's skeleton slowly fall.
The soldiers of the apostles had already cleared a large area below.
Houses that were originally rickety during the shock became extremely easy to be demolished.
They just lead the keel in such a grandiose manner.
When the heavy bones fell to the ground, the cheers reached a climax.
It was followed by various large-scale equipment and materials, which meant that the church made it clear that it would openly attack the giant city of Lentax.
At this time, the Jucheng garrison is more embarrassing.
Although Marquis Henry only took away 60,000 to 70,000 confidants trained by the family.
But the remaining garrison is still caught in a dilemma.
Because most of the middle and high-level officers are also in the arena.
This has led to the lack of clear action instructions for the garrison left outside, and the officers at the bottom cannot shoulder this important task.
At least it is difficult to react in a short time.
Because this involves a reintegration of command power.
So the current garrison can only surround the thirteen node areas and try to form a group as much as possible.
The Griffin and Dragon Eagle Knights also took off, hovering vigilantly near the portal.
The Dragonborn Knights are even more prepared for battle, divided into multiple combat squadrons, guarding different streets.
There are even more than one-third of the garrison moving towards the first and second circles.
The large mana shields in different circles rose one after another, forming a new isolation area.
This time the situation is more embarrassing, the enemy does not come from the outside world.
Instead, a portal was opened directly in the third circle.
Moreover, the coverage of this portal is extremely large, basically covering most of the urban area of the third circle.
The intensity and efficiency of delivery are also unprecedented.
This allowed the apostles of the Calamity Raven Church to quickly gain a foothold.
Coupled with the weird enchantment of the evil church ceremony, it caught the guards by surprise.
He could only watch helplessly as the group of apostles quickly assembled and received war supplies at the same time.
...
At the main node, Bishop Byron suddenly opened his closed eyes.
In the past ten minutes just now, his appearance has aged by more than ten years.
This is also one of the costs of the sacrificial ceremony.
With the bones of the ancestral ancient dragon falling to the ground, the projection of God can be received at any time!
I saw a fanatical expression on his face, as if he had changed into a different person.
There is one final step left.
I saw Archbishop Byron throwing the string of beads in his hand into the ritual circle.
And with a strange happy smile behind him, he shouted loudly.
"For the honor of God!"
"Everyone, please follow me and judge yourself!"
"We will all become a part of God, and welcome the coming of God in person!"
His voice spread throughout every node in an instant.
The tone is fanatical, but also reveals a pious feeling.
As soon as the words fell, Archbishop Byron drew out a silver-white dagger.
He held the handle of the knife with both hands, and mercilessly inserted it into his chest.
The location is very precise, exactly where the heart is.
That's not all, after inserting the short knife, Archbishop Byron twisted the handle of the knife, and then pulled it out decisively.
During this period, he didn't show any expression of pain, and all he could see on his face was satisfaction.
Yes, that is contentment.
It is extremely strange to self-declare with such an expression.
This is fanatical belief twisted to the extreme.
It is also the reason why the major kingdoms and forces in the Endless Continent treat the church like a scourge.
If the church is allowed to spread faith wantonly, the number of fanatics will also increase sharply after the number of believers increases.
All the spiritual sustenance of these fanatics will be placed on the gods.
They are willing to give up the body, give up the soul, and give up everything for the gods.
In the end, it will be crazy enough to go against human nature and do all kinds of crazy things.
Because for these fanatics, they don't have to abide by the rules that mortals care about.
"Puff!"
Warm blood spurted from the knife edge.
It fell on the ritual circle that had already been stained with blood.
Death is undoubtedly evil to ordinary people.
But its essence represents a return to basics.
All living beings will die, and flesh and blood will become the nourishment of the earth.
The bones were slowly deposited and eventually turned into fossils, and everything returned to the world.
The power dedicated by this kind of returning to the basics can be sensed and transformed by the gods.
Archbishop Byron committed suicide without hesitation.
He was accompanied by more than a dozen church elders.
With a smile on his face, his body was stiff and crooked on the ground, and there seemed to be an inexplicable brilliance in his opened eyes.
It's just that this brilliance is fleeting and will soon disappear.
What disappeared together was the entire vitality of Archbishop Byron.
The energy possessed by their flesh and blood souls is even more surging, as if fuel has been poured into the fire.
All the ceremonial nodes shine brightly, and each beam of light becomes brighter and stronger!
"Buzz!"
The buzzing sound reappeared, this time it seemed that even the void was trembling.
Countless particles of light came from nowhere and converged into the skeleton of the ancient dragon.
The power of the frost is being released, with the bones as the boundary, the area within hundreds of meters begins to be frozen.
Then the power of disaster was released.
It sweeps around with evil forces such as accidents, illnesses, and luck.
The deacons of the church who had no time to escape fell to the ground with livid faces and twitched, howling in pain.
Frost belongs to the power of the element system, while calamity is more evil.
It is biased towards the curse system, and has the power to interfere with fate.
White and purple light particles emerged from the field, and then quickly sank into the ancestral dragon skeleton.
With the giant city of Lentax as the midpoint, mutations occurred in an area of nearly a thousand kilometers.
The sky is covered by dark clouds, and the noisy thunder is hidden in the clouds.
"Boom!"
Restless thunder and lightning roared on the clouds.
It seems to be protesting the coming of a power that does not belong to this world.
From time to time, thunder and lightning fell to the ground, and violent arcs ignited farmland and pastures.
The sky darkened almost instantly.
The ancestral dragon skeleton in the city slowly floated up after absorbing the light particles.
It hangs in the air about a hundred meters above the ground, becoming more and more solid under the infusion of power.
This large-scale projection of the gods involves a lot of things, and the preparation time required is naturally not something that can be solved in a short while.
But the anomalies are getting worse over time.
Bounded by the area where the keel is located, the surrounding temperature is slowly dropping.
The fear of disaster is inexplicably shrouded in everyone's heart.
It seems that something unfortunate is coming together.
After Archbishop Byron committed suicide, the two red-robed bishops took on the heavy responsibility.
They command believers and believers to move supplies.
At the same time, carry out more detailed war deployments for the Jackdaw Apostles, Calamity Apostles, Juli Apostles and Fanatic Army, and officially launch an offensive to the surrounding streets and urban areas!
Caught off guard, the large magic energy generating device on the third circle was too late to activate.
After all, the Calamity Raven Church is a direct "airborne" into the city.
The second and first circle reacted in time and opened the large area shield.
Therefore, the church is going to give priority to occupying the almost undefended third circle.
When this step is completed, the projection of the gods will also come to this world.
...
In the arena, Marquis Henry told Penny the situation outside in a hurried tone.
"It's the Calamity Raven Church!"
"Damn Carter Pendragon!"
"That's the abandoned son of him and Grand Duke Jonathan!"
Affected by the [Rose Mark], Marquis Henry appeared dull and biased in many decision-making aspects.
But he is still well aware of the situation in the city.
He has also paid attention to the Calamity Raven Church.
Especially before, the church's activities in the city were more frequent.
On the contrary, during the period of Prince Carter's arrival, the church's actions became much more subtle and low-key.
To be honest, no one would have thought that the Calamity Raven Church would put all their eggs in one basket.
In the eyes of most people, this second- and third-rate church does not have much sense of existence.
At best, it is nothing to sacrifice a village and plunder some transport teams dispatched from giant cities.
What they do is similar to that of bandits.
The territory of the church is in the Valley of the Jackdaws, and the territory of the Kingdom of Avalon is just where they come to play the autumn wind.
Originally slumped here, the most logical thing for the church to do is to retreat to Jackdaw Valley to rest and recuperate.
It's definitely not worth it to die.
But it happened that such an event with extremely low possibility broke out like this.
The hidden secrets in it are unknown.
But what can make the church work so hard must have motives that others cannot understand.
Hearing her father's words, Penny Lancaster, who was wearing a hunting suit, was expressionless.
Her demeanor at this time was completely different from usual.
His expression was cold and indifferent, like a frosted rose.
"The Calamity Raven Church..."
"Is that all they want for the city?"
Penny asked softly.
Things developed unexpectedly.
The dispute itself has changed from the three parties of the Lancaster family, Princess Anna and Grand Duke Jonathan to a heresy invasion.
The most important thing is that Penny's appeal is not consistent with everyone.
She has her own ideas.
And the black hand behind the scenes who faintly manipulated the trend has not yet surfaced.
So far, Penny only knows that the guys who previously pretended to be the Sorensen brothers are all related to the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just like when the arena was launched just now, that Bridger Sorensen who suddenly turned into a black dragon.
"Father, open the shield of the arena."
"Mobilize the garrison to garrison the defense lines and battle forts in the second and first circles."
"At the same time, a request for help was sent to all cities in the kingdom to clarify the situation of the church invasion."
"In addition, I also need you to contact Grand Duke Jonathan and Grand Duke Chloe respectively."
"As for Prince Carter..."
"Soon, I will be able to firmly control him!"
