Invincible Chapter 709
The remodeling of the temple can actually be regarded as the manufacture of a large magic weapon. It can even be said that building the core of the Kingdom of God is just such a step, but the manufacturing process is more complicated due to more functions.
When the first stage is completed, from the outside, the temple has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Rohan still respects Gonk, and he didn't forget to frame this god skin. In many places, there are lifelike designs of velociraptors. And the style and characteristics of the troll creation are very prominent.
The new Temple of Nature still has the pyramids on the inner side and the temple park on the outer side. The thick city walls are towering, with planetary characters etched on the walls, and there is energy flowing inside, which looks full of magic.
However, the current park has only completed land leveling and no plants have been planted. The energy harvesting equipment of the core pyramid is still being debugged. On the square in front of the pyramid, the energy harvesting system of five station wagons is still working.
In the pyramid, all the locals, whether priests or believers, were organized to participate in prayer, but they were divided into groups. Those who were detected by Rohan as having problems gathered in the inner hall, where the priesthood was originally The area dedicated to personnel has now become a temporary cage, but they have not torn their faces, allowing them to pray to the abandoned statue of Gonk.
Rohan has no time to deal with them now. He is racing against time to build the core of the temple including energy-absorbing equipment, which is the key to the arkization of the temple.
Outside the temple, the number of ritual petitioners has already exceeded a thousand, and there are still more petitioners coming from all over the city.
The unified feature of these petitioners is holding a French stick. This black lacquered stick looks dense and heavy, and the material seems to be some kind of stone. The petitioners hold them with both hands, lifting them like pounding rice, The falling one hit the ground. Every time it hits, there will be an 'empty' sound, and there will be a black-purple light centered on the hit point, radiating in all directions.
For those petitioners who have entered the state, every time they hit, the magic stick and body will also light up with the same color light, and once one is wiped out, the rhythm is full.
Their positions seem to be very random, in groups of three or four, forming a circle, with their backs facing outwards, facing each other, just smashing together, some are farther away from the natural temple, some are closer, and generally form a loose The ring belt wraps the natural temple in it.
When Passanya, Zhalan, Tamara and other members of the Punishment Alliance arrived at the scene, they saw such a scene, and they all looked dignified.
There is no need for Passanya to continue to defend, they can all see that these people are indeed performing the Dark Pit ritual, but the techniques they use seem to be inconsistent with what they have mastered. In other words, these spellcasters are not their people at all.
"There is a hidden sect of this size lurking among us,
We didn't realize anything, and I think we should ask clearly. "Pasanya said that he was going to let the temple warriors go up and arrest people.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was that Zemlan, the chief priest of his family, was involved in it. He was eager to find out what role Zemlan played in this secret organization and what secrets he had leaked.
However, Zalan stopped him with words: "Wait, just go up and arrest people like this, doesn't it mean getting angry?"
Tamara, the high priest of the Yazma Temple, also sided with Zalan this time: "I think it is appropriate to attack Kagwa, Jibur and other temples now."
Passanya said to Tamara: "Now you are not worried that the Spider Cave has been severely damaged?"
Tamara pointed to the natural temple bathed in strong sunlight: "They won't just sit back and watch their temples sink."
Well, Passanya can't say anything now.
The contradiction between the Besek Temple and the Gonk Temple is the contradiction between the old and the new generations of the gods of nature (wildness). The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The contradiction between the Sambundi Temple and the Gonk Temple is the opposition between death and life. Especially after Rohan took charge of the Temple of Nature, its divine power characteristics would make Sangbondi feel uncomfortable and rebellious instinctively.
But this kind of disgust and hatred is still no match for the balance of interests, so the Punishment Alliance chose to temporarily bypass the third party who started the war and continue to trouble the old opponent.
However, Posanya proposed to set up a monitoring point to monitor the progress of the war, and this time both Zaran and Tamara agreed. In fact, they are not stupid either, whether it is Rohan, or this seemingly insidious secret organization that has just popped up, they all attach great importance to it, and it can even be said that they just realized that the other party is not easy to mess with. , They are not willing to fill in themselves, to fight for that unpredictable result. They are more willing to see others as cannon fodder, so that they can at least collect more intelligence, so why not do it?
However, the new Xalatas believers, or Zemlan, the leader of the Twilight Sect, is not stupid. He even successfully deduced the thinking of Posanya and the others.
Seeing the main force of the Punishment Alliance come around and drive away, Zemlan smiled sullenly, and said in his heart: "You have so easily missed the only chance to reverse the victory. And I I am very happy to appreciate your regretful and desperate expressions in the near future."
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze back to the natural temple in front of him, his expression became solemn.
Even without Xal'atath's reminder, he was aware of the extraordinary nature of Rohan's power system. He is no better than those rubbish blasphemers who have enslaved the gods by relying on the skills passed down from their ancestors, and then only know how to intrigue and fight for power. He is very clear about the technology and strength behind the energy effect in front of him.
Zemlan knew that even the Pit of Darkness might not be able to destroy the Temple of Nature as he wished. And if it fails, then the situation will enter a very tragic stage of consumption. I am afraid that all the strength accumulated by the Twilight Sect in this city for many years will have to be thrown into it.
Of course, he was not unhappy. From a long time ago, he knew that for a powerful existence like Xalatas, its opponents were often extremely powerful. It's nothing more than a chicken and a dog without a meal.
"Go, pass my order, so that the twilight priests don't have to save seeds, and awaken as many spirits of destruction as possible."
"Yes, Dean, your will is our will." The herald said as he soared into the air, and the wings made of blue-purple smoke-like light faintly fluttered from time to time on the back, which made it move like a vertical leap and glide The pheasant moves efficiently in urban areas through roofs and ridges.
And as the herald conveyed the order, the backbone of the Twilight Sect, that is, the Twilight Priests, worked harder and harder to cast spells. They have uniform uniforms, robes with deep hoods, and a dark blue and purple color. This color is called the color of twilight, and it is difficult to imitate with the mortal technology of this era.
The most impressive thing is the masks they wear and the silk sash around their waists. The abstract-style skull masks are divided into green, blue and purple magic lights, representing their status in the sect. The silk thread is light and elegant, and often brings afterimages and phantoms. It is a magical object, a constant fascination spell, if you are attracted by it and stare at it for a long time, you will be hit.
The equipment used by these twilight priests is also much better than that of the ritual petitioners. For example, the staffs in their hands are the same at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that they are very different. Just the complicated etchings, you know they are It is exquisitely crafted, not to mention that when it hits the ground, it will glow like an electrified neon light.
Unlike the purpose of the ritual petitioner's casting, the twilight priests are responsible for awakening the spirit of destruction.
Actually, it would be more appropriate to call it cohesion.
The so-called spirit of destruction is the aggregation of negative emotions mainly resentment and hatred.
In this distorted society where blood sacrifices are popular, this kind of special energy is really abundant.
Usually, they are all suppressed by the divine power of the major temples, and the twilight priest uses special techniques to gather them and let them form an independent existence that can affect the material plane.
The powerful negative spiritual force dominates the dark and filthy power, which makes them look like dirty silk flying around.
They are full of hatred for all living creatures, and even the twilight priest who summoned them has to go through the back door left during creation, so as not to be backlashed by them.
What's even more frightening is that, like a banshee, they can take possession of their bodies, pollute the minds of intelligent beings, and multiply the dark side of their temperaments exponentially, and then distort and transform their bodies, turning them into villains who only know destruction and killing. things.
Zemlan asked the twilight priests to create evil things without leaving room, naturally preparing for the second stage of exhaustion. After all, the more evil things kill, the more excited they become, and the more evil energy they can control, the more powerful they become.
It can be said that this kind of gameplay is tantamount to sacrificing the entire city in exchange for the power of destruction.
This is a point that is enough to make Zalan, Tamara and others regret it. It is tantamount to swallowing the rich fruit that belongs to the victor in the shuffle war.
It's a pity that the operations of the twilight priests are mainly concentrated in the middle city where blood sacrifices are often held, and the lower city where misery is common, while Posanya and the others are leading people to storm the upper city, and some of the remaining monitors are being captured by the Temple of Nature. Attracted by the evil large-scale rituals of nearby ritual petitioners, the real point has not been discovered for a long time.
Rohan also failed to discover this abnormality. After all, he is not like Kane, who has the left hand of God. Although he has the ability to operate at a god-like level with the help of Gonk, after all, there is still a layer of skin behind him, and there are many restrictions and inconvenience.
In the process of building the core of the ark, he sent temple warriors to test the water outside to see if he could kill those petitioners.
It has to be said that when those guys gradually entered the state, the rhythm of the tapping became more and more orderly, and the effect became stronger and stronger, the scene was still quite scary for those who watched it.
Looking down from a high place, the entire periphery of the Temple of Nature has turned into a purple-red halo, like half-dried blood flickering from the inside, which will make people feel like the earth is being cut, and the crust will be cut at any time. Through the natural temple in the center and the sense of coercion that the coefficient of that piece of land has fallen.
Rohan has also known for a long time that this is not a simple mental coercion, but a possibility that will happen in the near future if he is allowed to operate. And guess, it is not easy to interrupt and destroy this kind of ceremony.
Facts have also proved that this is true. The puppet warriors he sent out are very difficult to eliminate these petitioners.
An invisible force field protected them, and the effect of the attack was as if they were hitting through jelly-like amber, and most of the attack force was taken away. And although a small part also worked, those petitioners were very fanatical and didn't care at all. Even injury can inspire its enthusiasm, a role played by Cyril in ritual.
In desperation, Rohan can only enter the state of racing against time, wait until the core is completed, empower the puppet warriors, and then carry out the crusade.
So time slipped away in this weird competition where the situation was getting more and more tense, watching the sun go down, dusk came, and the outbreak began...
