Chapter 91: The Threat of Yamata No Orochi
After everyone left Yamata no Orochi's sight, everyone on our side immediately boarded the spacecraft, then turned on the mirage system and rose to an altitude of 10,000 meters in one breath and soared back at the fastest speed. The current situation is called a strategic shift at best, or an escape at worst, so the speed must be fast, and you have to run as fast as you want.
Before, everyone was busy escaping for their lives below, but nothing happened. But after boarding the spacecraft, everyone visibly shrank when they had time to relax. Since the founding of the Frost Rose Alliance, this was the first time that they had to rely on bluff to scare the enemy and then escape in such a mess. Precisely because a similar incident has never happened, and the group of people who followed me are all the top people in our guild, the elite among the elite, they will suffer less setbacks. Because I have never experienced setbacks, it was difficult to accept it for a while, and I always felt very depressed. In fact, from the perspective of ordinary players, our situation is not called an escape at all, and it is not even considered a failure. After all, we were hardly harmed by Yamata no Orochi. It can be said that we withdrew from the battle without any damage. Such results are already quite good in the eyes of ordinary players, but the elites in our guild cannot accept it.
In fact, the managers in our guild are not the only ones who cannot accept the facts. Qinglong and Suzaku are also in a similar situation. Looking at Qinglong sitting alone on the bow of the spaceship blowing the cold wind, I decided to do something. After walking to him and sitting down, I reached out and handed Qinglong a bottle of fairy dew sent back from Heaven. Then he took a bottle and took a sip. After seeing Qinglong take a sip, I said, "I feel aggrieved, don't you?"
Qinglong nodded unabashedly, and then said with a sense of vicissitudes: "After being a holy beast for so many years, I can be considered one of the top ones among the sacred beasts in the country. This nine-headed bird was ours back then. There was no one there who was even qualified to carry our shoes, but now, we are so frightened by him that we run away, I feel so worried!"
"Is that why you can't figure it out?" I looked at Qinglong in surprise.
Qinglong asked doubtfully: "Isn't this frustrating enough?"
I smiled and said, "It's really embarrassing and frustrating to be scared off by the humble fish." When I said this, Qinglong's expression obviously dimmed again, but I didn't finish my words. Instead, he continued: "But...were we really scared away by that bastard Yamata no Orochi? It seems not, right? Are we afraid of Yamata no Orochi? That guy was the predecessor of Suzaku who lost Nanmingli Fire Pearl. You can't even defeat them. What do you think there is to be afraid of such a miscellaneous fish? The reason why we really retreat is not that we are afraid of Yamata no Orochi, but because we are afraid of the divine core! As a high-level being who understands how powerful the divine core is, Is it so strange to be afraid of the core of divine power? People who are not afraid of the core of divine power are not because they are brave, but because they don’t know the horror of the core of divine power at all. We just have more knowledge than them, what is there to feel aggrieved about?”
Qinglong, who was a bit over the top, was stunned when I said it. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case. Yamata no Orochi is not scary at all. The scary thing is the core of divine power.
After figuring out the key points, Qinglong obviously regained his energy and took another sip of the fairy dew. The same thing. But his movements were full of freedom and ease, and the lifeless feeling before was completely gone.
"Thank you for your enlightenment. I was the one who got into trouble before. As for your summoning us to come for reinforcements this time, I made the decision for Suzaku. You have used these two opportunities, but each of us will give you one more summons." opportunity, so next time you have difficulties, you can still call us to help."
I have no false rejection of Qinglong's promise. Instead, he nodded directly and said: "I won't be polite to you anymore. I will accept this promise."
Qinglong also smiled and said: "I should have compensated you. After all, we couldn't help you when you called us this time. In the end, we were scared away by Yamata no Orochi, so this help cannot be counted. But Zi Japan, have you ever thought about what to do in the future? Yamata no Orochi is the guardian beast of Japan. Aren't your Frost Rose Alliance and Japan always in a state of hostility? Now that the other side has such a powerful presence, you will want to attack Japan again in the future. I’m afraid it’s not that easy, right?”
Qinglong didn't know about Matsumoto Masa, so he didn't know that Japan is actually under our remote control. Of course, Qinglong's words cannot be taken completely seriously. After all, Yamata no Orochi is indeed a big trouble.
Unlike Amaterasu, Yamata no Orochi is a mythical beast, not a god, and the system's restrictions on mythical beasts are usually not as strong as on gods, so Yamata no Orochi can do a lot of things that Amaterasu can't do, and Yamata no Orochi can Contacting more players and directly participating in their activities is something Amaterasu cannot do.
Originally, it would be okay if there was just one more helper among the Japanese players. The most troublesome thing is that Yamata no Orochi still has a divine power core in his hand. If this thing is used properly, it will definitely be more terrifying than any weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, if Yamata no Orochi thoroughly understands how to use the core of divine power, he can even change his profession to become a guild god like Vina.
If the local gods are compared to the national army, then the guild gods are the mercenary troops of large companies. The regular army is ordered by the country and needs to be restricted by various regulations. Even if it goes abroad to fight, it needs to always pay attention to things like international influence and public opinion. The reason why the local protoss in various countries are so powerful but have minimal impact on players is because these restrictions and constraints severely restrict the combat effectiveness of the protoss, so this phenomenon occurs. However, unlike the local gods who are the same as the regular army, the guild gods are a group of mercenaries. They are only responsible to their employers, and the employer of the guild gods is the guild to which they belong.
If you look at mercenaries in reality, you will find that compared to the local gods, the guild gods lack many restrictions, and they can exert their combat effectiveness at will. Not limited by almost anything. Regardless of public opinion or the attitudes of other countries, these things are meaningless to mercenaries because they are not bound by these things at all.
The current Yamata no Orochi is still a member of the local God Clan. He belongs to the Takamagahara God Clan. Although he is not an original member, as a member who joined later, he is recognized by the system as an important member of the Takamagahara God Clan, so he is also restricted by the system. . There is no way to go abroad to fight. Precisely because he is restricted, Yamata no Orochi cannot pose much of a deterrent to our guild. Judging from the current situation in Japan we have arranged, the only thing Yamata no Orochi can possibly do is to help Japanese players bulldoze Fulcrum City. It can be said that this kind of loss will not hurt our muscles and bones. Although it will be very distressing and will indeed have a certain impact on us, it is basically not a big problem.
but. Once Yamata no Orochi becomes a guild god, it will be troublesome.
The guild gods can participate in external battles. Our guild doesn't often let the Chaos and Order Gods play in battles because we are the only force that currently has the guild Gods. So we have always regarded the guild gods as a trump card, double insurance and mental deterrent. As long as our guild gods don't appear on the battlefield. That means we are not at the end of our rope yet, and at this time our enemies must always worry and beware of our sudden appearance of strong reinforcements. This is the reason why many guilds cannot even display half of their usual combat effectiveness after encountering us, because they will be afraid of our hidden strength.
However, the above situation is a special situation of our guild. It is very likely that... no, it will definitely not work against Yamata no Orochi.
Strictly speaking, the Guild God Clan is a guild. It should be an existence higher than the guild. When I first set up the guild gods, I clearly saw in the system settings menu that the number of guild gods enshrined by a guild cannot be higher than the number of guild members in the total number of digits. To put it simply. Depending on the number of people in your guild, you can worship several guild gods. It seems that the number of people in our guild exceeds 100,000. That is six digits, so our guild can have up to six guild gods that do not belong to each other. Of course, currently we only have the Chaos and Order Protoss. However, this is the setting of the guilds, and the setting of the Gods clearly states that one guild and the Gods can accept offerings from unlimited guilds, regardless of whether these guilds are in opposition to each other or their nationalities. question.
Based on the comparison of the above settings, it can be seen that by default in the system, the guild gods should be higher than the guilds, because no matter how many members a guild has, it should not exceed 100 million, and even if you have a billion members, it will only be less than 100 million. There can be only ten guilds of gods, but a guild of gods can easily obtain dozens or hundreds of guilds to support itself without any conditions. This is obviously an asymmetrical state.
In addition to this comparison of affiliation relationships, clues can also be found in the system description. In the system introduction, the word "consecration" is used when talking about the guild owning the guild gods. Everyone understands the meaning of enshrinement, so, in other words, the guild gods are not subordinates of the guild, they are a group of high-end military forces enshrined by the guild. You can ask them to do something for you, but whether they are willing to help or not is their business and you have no right to decide.
Our guild is a completely special situation in this regard, because I rescued Vina, the God King of the Chaos and Order God Clan, and our personal relationship is too good. Besides, in reality, Vina is actually my subordinate, and she has to listen to me on many things, so the Chaos and Order God Clan is like a subsidiary organization of the Frost Rose Alliance, and can be commanded according to our needs. However, this is limited to our guild. I don’t think it is possible for other guilds to do this, and it is even less possible for Japan.
Yamata no Orochi had one of his heads cut off and was deported to Japan. Now that he has gained power, the first thing he thinks of is to come back for revenge. The so-called "returning home in fine clothes" means that after a person becomes prosperous, he will want to return to the place where he came from. Whether it is to go back to show off or to take revenge, basically everyone will want to go back to have fun. Yamata no Orochi is obviously not the kind of being who can avoid vulgarity, so he definitely wants to return to China to have a good time.
The current Yamata no Orochi is restrained by the system and cannot come back, but once he understands that he can become a guild god, it will be troublesome. When he becomes a guild protoss, the system will no longer restrict him from leaving Japanese territory. As long as a Japanese guild launches a war against China, he can follow him out. We can't restrict him at all in this matter. After all, although Japan is generally controlled by us through Masa Matsumoto, this kind of remote control is not omnipotent. At least we can't let Masamoto Matsumoto shout publicly: "I just won't go to war with the Chinese." If Masamoto Matsumoto really shouted this, he would be kicked off the altar immediately.
Moreover. Matsumoto Masaga's family is not the only one powerful in Japan now. Although Matsumoto Masaga is now dominant, the ghost-handed Nobunaga has not been completely overthrown, right? Moreover, Yamata no Orochi was originally hiding under Nobunaga's warehouse city. Can you guarantee that there won't be any stories between them that have to be told?
In view of the above situation, it can be concluded that once Yamata no Orochi knows how to use the core of divine power, he is likely to become a guild god. After that, he has two situations, one is to become the guild god of one of Matsumoto Masaga or Onishou Nobunaga, and the other is to directly become the guild god of both. Ghost Hand Nobunaga will definitely not refuse this matter, and Masamoto Matsumoto cannot refuse even if he wants to, because the Japanese players under him really want Yamata no Orochi to become their guild god. If Masamoto Matsumoto refuses, There is simply no reason to appease those players. Besides, in order to get more information about Yamata no Orochi, we also need Masamoto Matsumoto to get closer to Yamata no Orochi, so we can't refuse.
Once Yamata no Orochi becomes the guild god of the two guilds, then he can ask Matsumoto Masaru or Ghost Hand Nobunaga, or maybe both together, to launch an attack on China. This way he can come to China to fight. For this kind of request, Onishou Nobunaga must be in favor with both hands, while Matsumoto Masaga wants to refuse but cannot. Otherwise, he will still be questioned by his subordinates just like he refused Yamato no Orochi to become their guild god. Besides, as long as Nobunaga agrees, it doesn't really matter whether Masamoto Matsumoto agrees or not.
In this way, as long as Yamato no Orochi becomes a guild god, it is inevitable that he will go to China to attack the city arrows of our guild. Even if we can remotely control Matsumoto Masaga, we cannot change this. At most It is to slightly delay the start of the war.
"Looks like we're in big trouble!" rq
