Chapter 2609 Difference
Now there are branches of light in the sky, which can be seen not only at night but also in broad daylight. This is the trace left after the Tree of Terror was killed, and it is also the evidence of the connection between the two worlds.
This huge branch is the branch of the World Tree. Although it is called the World Tree, it is not a real tree, but it just looks like a tree. This is actually a crack, a huge tree-shaped crack that spreads to the whole world.
And the Eagle Kingdom is located at the source of the crack, which is the root of the World Tree.
The World Tree has always existed, but since the chaos, the energy of the World Tree has been absorbed by the spirit trees all over the world, so the energy of the World Tree is not enough to directly connect the two worlds. These spirit trees usually grow in dense forests, so people often disappear in the forest. In fact, they pass through the spirit tree to the netherworld.
After the witches discovered the secrets around the spirit tree, they began to live on the tree and practice with the energy of the spirit tree. Through this energy consumption, the huge crack of the World Tree has been hidden.
However, with the expansion of human beings and the deforestation of forests, the spirit trees continue to disappear. Then the spread of the Fawang Court's faith led to fewer and fewer witches who consumed energy. Griffith also burned spirit trees everywhere to hunt witches. In the end, the collision between the Emperor of Terror and the Skull Knight directly activated the World Tree. The cracks spread all over the world, triggering the Netherworld tsunami, which led to the connection between the Netherworld and the human world.
The Eagle Kingdom is at the root of the tree, where the energy is the largest. It is the place where the creatures of the Netherworld do not want to get close. In other words, this is the only paradise in the human world, which is part of Griffith's perfect plan. He could have called himself the only savior of mankind and established the only kingdom, because other places are full of Netherworld creatures and are no longer suitable for human survival. The Eagle Kingdom will accommodate all surviving humans.
Unfortunately, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes. The Princess Territory quickly gained a foothold on the land where the Netherworld creatures were rampant, and even the huge legendary creatures could not do anything.
You must know that those huge Netherworld creatures are existences that even the apostles find difficult to deal with. Each one is more than ten meters high and dozens of meters high, just like a monster. But the Princess Territory uses all kinds of imaginary weapons to fight and protect the human world.
Griffith was furious, but he was even more angry at the wavering people in Eagle Country, so he organized an army of 30,000 people, ready to leave the city and go to the area occupied by the Netherworld creatures to launch a war to recover. The purpose was naturally not to recover the lost land, but to let humans see the horror of the Netherworld creatures and let them continue to unite around him.
The war was naturally a disastrous defeat. How could mortal soldiers be the opponents of the Netherworld creatures? In addition, the apostles did not take action, so only a few hundred of the 30,000 people fled back to Eagle City, and continued to spread the horror of the Netherworld creatures to everyone, and thanked Griffith for his life-saving grace of coming to support in the end.
The Netherworld creatures are not only terrible, but also numerous, so the books in the Princess Territory are all lies, and it is impossible for humans to coexist with the Netherworld creatures.
Griffith was very satisfied. Yes, that's right, it is to use fear to control these survivors so that they will no longer dare to disobey the words of the savior.
At this time, a young man stood up and said, "It's not like that. I've been to the Princess's Territory. It's really more prosperous than the Eagle Kingdom."
So the young man was assassinated and disappeared soon.
Gradually, people in the Eagle Kingdom stopped talking about the Princess's Territory. Although they didn't talk about it openly, they would still talk about it secretly. It's just that they were on the road. Obviously, they gradually discovered that there were taboos that could not be mentioned in this glorious city, such as not mentioning the Princess's Territory openly. Anyone who dared to mention it might disappear.
But I'm really curious. Unfortunately, the road from the city to the Princess's Territory is full of dangers. Even the army can't pass through, let alone a person passing through the chassis of the creatures in the underworld. Over time, they don't think about leaving the city.
If such a rule lasts for a hundred years, will it become a magical version of Attack on Titan? For example, they think that the entire world except the Eagle Kingdom has been occupied by monsters, until one day a huge monster pushes open the wall and makes them recall the memory of being dominated by monsters.
People who are kept in captivity are like livestock. Griffith does not need them to have abilities or ideas, but only needs them to worship him.
On the other side, Guts is distressed because Casca has been cured. But Guts's wish is not Casca's wish. To be honest, after Casca recovered her memory, she was not very stable.
Guts naturally did not mind whether Casca had given birth to someone else's child. Anyway, he was not a pure person. His moral integrity had been taken away when he was ten years old. So he was very open-minded.
However, Casca needed time, so she kept her distance from Guts and kept avoiding Guts.
Guts was very sad, but he also sympathized with Casca. After all, who could recover immediately after experiencing such a thing? In the final analysis, it was all caused by Griffith. Now he has turned the world into this again. What is Griffith's purpose?
Guts believes that Griffith's goal is not just to establish a country, but to continue to develop with the country as a springboard, but Guts does not know what he wants to do. Because Griffith is such a person, always hiding little secrets.
But now Griffith's wish to establish the only empire on earth has been shattered. The Princess Territory not only exists, but is more magnificent, more open and inclusive than Eagle City. There are not only people but also creatures from the underworld living together. The technology of the Princess Territory is constantly developing and has begun to go to the sky, the ground and the sea.
In addition to fighter jets, there are also airships and hot air balloons all over the sky. Various cars and trains have also appeared on the ground. The city is peaceful and everyone is in order.
Everyone who comes here can't help but want to settle down. This is the paradise on earth. Moreover, the magical version of constitutional monarchy is adopted here, which means that although the princess is the nominal supreme leader, the things are done by the civilians below. The operation of the entire city has nothing to do with the nobles. Every citizen can participate in it, and everyone is equal to the greatest extent.
Even the underworld elves will govern the country with the people. Of course, the reason why these underworld elves are so enthusiastic and passionate is that they have undergone red transformation when they were in the underworld.
Duran, Slan and the old witch established the underworld branch to spread Marxism-Leninism in the underworld. Most of the intelligent underworld creatures have joined them. So when the human world and the netherworld were connected, the netherworld fairies were quite rational and restrained, helping the princess's territory to get familiar with the netherworld creatures as quickly as possible, and they played an indispensable role.
Of course, it is difficult to turn the netherworld creatures into materialism, especially since there are God's Hand, a higher will, and the abyss in the netherworld.
But Duran told the fairies that the entire netherworld is actually an open complex giant system, and the numerous, complex, and multi-level sub-elements in it can be analyzed to study the true face of the netherworld. The netherworld is not science, but it can be analyzed with scientific methodology, rather than superstitious about it, fearing it, and submitting to it.
So in the fairy kingdom, a netherworld conquering research institute was established to specialize in the study of the netherworld.
