Chapter 437 God Is Dead

God's, the wreckage -

Russell's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly realized.

No wonder……

The various behaviors of the Cyber ​​Church cannot be called "righteous people" in any way. But they were able to master the power of Holy Order...

The purest artificial angels will even lose their power of Holy Order due to falling behind... But the elven directors, who do not look as holy and righteous as them anyway, are actually able to master a stronger power of Holy Order.

Perhaps even the most devout Cyber ​​Church believers would not have thought that the "god" they worshiped actually existed.

——Not only does it exist, it has even been artificially divided into more than ninety parts.

"The dragon symbolizes the day, and the named elf represents the night..."

Russell murmured: "There are seven empty islands in total...that is to say, each empty island symbolizes 'the day of creation'. Under the giant dragon symbolizing the day, there are commanders symbolizing the twelve hours. Twelve elven directors. Then it is understandable that elves are lower in status than dragons..."

Dragons are not completely superior to elves.

Rather, they are equal - it's just that the status of each dragon is equal to the sum of the twelve elven directors.

Malt Liquor on the side was even a little surprised to see Ultramarine accepting this fact so easily.

"You...believe my words so easily?"

"Because I can see that you didn't lie to me."

Ultramarine looked back at her, thought for a moment and added: "And, this is indeed very reasonable. But, what is the 'key' you are talking about?"

Ale pursed his lips and asked, "Why do you think the dragon and the elf divide their authority like this?"

Russell thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

He already had a rough idea of ​​the answer in his mind, but to avoid preconceptions, it was better not to say it out loud for now.

If nothing else happens...

Probably to prevent them from gathering again.

Among the elf directors of each sky island, only six are from the mainland, and the other six are from other sky islands. Previously, Russell simply thought that these directors were just "local leaders" and played the role of a foreign ministry.

But now that I think about it...it seems that something is wrong.

Even if the top person in charge of other empty islands needs directors to take charge and command, there is no need for them to be elf directors with a higher status. Not to mention, they almost never leave the island where they are, and if they leave for something, they will go back immediately... This is more like an exile than an expatriate.

But what if this is exile?

The purpose is to prevent every empty island from collecting the "twelve hours belonging to this day"!

The answer given by Malt Liquor was exactly as Russell expected: "Because there are two kinds of keys.

"One of them requires the authority of 'a whole day'... that is, including a giant dragon, plus the approval of all the elven directors of the giant company to which the dragon belongs; the other one requires the permission of 'a whole day'..." Collecting the permissions for 'the same hour within seven days'. In other words, it requires the simultaneous approval of all the elf directors or seven dragons who have jurisdiction over a certain time in seven different islands. In this way You can temporarily regroup the gods of 'one day' or 'one hour'."

"What is this key used to open? What are the uses of these two keys?"

"I don't know. I don't even know if you need just one key or two keys."

Ale shook his head helplessly: "You can't think that I know everything. I can only know what the teacher tells me.

"But I think... if it's not something like 'the power of gods', it should be something extremely dangerous and with huge benefits. Otherwise, power wouldn't be divided like this to ensure that no one or any organization can immediately piece together a complete key without being discovered by other authorized holders.

"It's like... when a group of people went out to sea, they discovered a gold mine at the same time. No one has the ability to take it all, but everyone is also afraid that others will kill them and take it all. So this group of people got together. , worked together to create a security system that stores its true location. Everyone must be present before it can be opened... The feeling they gave me was this feeling of fear and greed."

The corners of Ale Liquor's mouth raised slightly, revealing a silent sneer.

After knowing this secret, it would be difficult for her to be as fearful and reverent towards elves and dragons as others were.

But Russell frowned.

He has a different perspective on this…

Because Russell has a keener perception of the human heart. Then he vaguely realized that this attitude seemed less like greed for wealth... and more like fear.

No way, this is some kind of seal, right?

But it doesn't look like it's completely dangerous.

[I, ‘Marriage of Oppositions’ Kamalser. In the name of the forerunner, caretaker and guardian of mankind...]

The oath that Camarse made before his death suddenly echoed in Russell's mind.

Forerunners, caregivers and guardians...

However, Russell had another source of information.

"The information you gave is very valuable."

Russell temporarily suppressed his wandering thoughts and raised his head to look at the malt wine seriously: "I will repay you."

"Isn't it to get more from me?"

The corners of Ale Liquor's mouth raised slightly, revealing a charming smile.

Russell just chuckled: "Because I can see that you have said everything you can say.

"In order to immediately show your 'usefulness' in front of me, you are madly emphasizing your own value. You are just worried that I will leave you on the Sun Island tomorrow...

"Although I keep saying that I believe in the guidance of fate, deep down in my heart I still have doubts.

"No, to be more precise... I should say that you don't believe in anyone or anything from the bottom of your heart. Whether it's your godfather, me, your teacher, or the so-called fate."

Russell said, putting the empty wine glass back on the table, and stood up with a gentle smile: "I must have read it correctly."

Seeing the astonished Malt Liquor suddenly fall silent, Russell just put his left hand in his pocket, and touched Malt Liquor's ear with his right hand.

"Go back to sleep and wish you a good night."

Russell turned his back without warning and waved his hand: "I will pick you up tomorrow."

Ale just watched Russell leave quietly.

Although the appearance, height, psychic abilities, habits, and personalities are completely different...

But for some reason, she learned from the hero "Ultramarine"...

——I saw a hint of the "Godfather".

...Maybe it's because they all have a "sense of cleanliness" that doesn't belong to this era.
