Chapter 1343: Leverage (Long chapter, please vote/Happy New Year's Eve)
Relics·Space
The diffuse red light was scattered in the empty universe, and whispers like dense mosquitoes echoed in He Ao's mind.
At the bottom of the world, between the scattered lines, He Ao's arm had already touched the gradually dissipating red light.
The distorted pollution, accompanied by dim whispers, was transmitted to his mind.
He raised his head and looked at the red light that had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible in the void.
These 'lights' came from the extraordinary items he had touched before, and the 'Seal 001 fragments' that were once used as the core of the seal array that sealed '009-1' and '009-2' in the 'Underground Palace'.
Sealed Item 001, this is the name of the former Federation, or the relic civilization. They seem to have sorted the powerful sealed items and numbered them in turn.
For example, 009-1 and 009-2, which He Ao had contacted, were given the same number. These two extraordinary items, one is suspected to be the remnant of an angel, and the other is suspected to be the remnant of an angel.
Now the angel status of He Ao's maid doll evolved from the remnant of 009-1.
And these two items, combined together, got a number of 009.
And the "rule" of this number seems to be that the smaller the number, the more terrifying the power.
For example, the "spinning wheel of fate" that has tampered with the memories of a large number of people in the main world is only 005.
In the information of 005, 005 was suppressed by 003, and part of the "seal" that constructed 005 came from the power of 003.
He Ao didn't know if the Relic Civilization had a seal number 0. If not, 001 should be the smallest numbered 'seal'.
In the Newland City-State incident, He Ao only used the 'fragment' of 001 to briefly obtain a status far beyond the angel and killed the 'angel' transformed by 009-1.
And the 'fragment' of 001 is not a real 'fragment' in essence, but a 'derivative' produced by 001 at a fixed time, which is a simple 'consumable'.
When He Ao first came into contact with the information about 001, he felt that 001 might be related to a certain god.
And after he briefly 'controlled' the fragment of 001 through the magic circle left by the Relic Civilization, his invisible guess became more specific.
001 is very likely to come from a god, but not a living god, but a god who has long been dead.
And that god is the 'God of War' buried in the Invitel Grand Canyon.
Of course, at that time, He Ao could only guess blindly based on his own experience, and he could not be sure that his guess was correct.
After going through so many copies, especially after borrowing power from the God of War through ‘Nell’ many times, he already felt that 001 was most likely from the ‘God of War’.
It is even possible that it was the original ‘part’ of that god.
Only things that come directly from the gods can have such a high status and power as just ‘derivatives’.
Of course, even so, He Ao could not be sure that his guess must be correct.
However, they still became part of the ‘knowledge’ in He Ao’s mind, as an accumulation, existing in He Ao’s mind.
And now, these ‘accumulations’ have worked.
He is trying to use these accumulations to gain ‘partial advantages’ that can change the situation.
In terms of absolute strength, no matter how many tricks he uses and how many beautiful ‘strategies’ he plays, the gap between him and the Starlight Figure is still too big, so big that he is actually not sure that he can survive a moment in front of the Starlight Figure.
The Starlight Figure can make countless mistakes, but he cannot make a mistake once.
Although he can now briefly "control" the Wheel of Stars, as a mortal, he can only control this extraordinary item for a very short time, and can only temporarily cover up a certain fate and existence, and this summoning requires "time".
Just like a child swinging a giant hammer, it also requires a preparation process.
Last time, it was the negligence of the Starlight Figure and the sacrifice of the King Killer Angel Evil Spirit to buy time for He Ao.
The Starlight Figure is not a fool, and He Ao does not think that the Starlight Figure will give him time to summon the Wheel of Stars this time.
Of course, if the Starlight Figure is arrogant again, He Ao will have a glimmer of hope, but He Ao cannot put all his fate on the negligence of the enemy.
So any "mistake" may directly lead to his being killed by the Starlight Figure.
He Ao knows very well that he is now stepping on a steel wire, and it is a steel wire that is burning red and hot and may melt at any time.
If he is given enough time, he will take his time to make plans, using the "hiddenness" of the main world to help Li Cheng become an angel first, gain enough experience and knowledge, and after making sufficient preparations, let Li Cheng and him work together to find a way to control 005 and seek his own promotion.
Once he is promoted to an angel, his control over the Wheel of Stars will be greatly strengthened, and then he may have the power to fight against the Starlight Figure for a short time.
If he makes enough preparations, he may not be able to completely repel or even defeat the Starlight Figure.
But the problem is that he knows this, and the Starlight Figure also knows this.
The Starlight Figure does not seem to be "willing" to give him time to develop and prepare.
So there was this incident of 005 modifying memory, and high voltage electricity was directly connected to the red-hot steel wire rope under He Ao's feet.
The Starlight Figure should have reached some kind of "cooperation" with 005 before, so there was the City of Glory.
But at that time, their "cooperation" did not seem to be "deep" enough, so in the entire City of Glory incident, only the "President" of the Glory Society, Ruoken, had his memory modified by 005.
And now, I don't know what kind of "agreement" was reached, and their cooperation has "deepened".
Under the influence of 005, the main world is actually on the verge of being exposed at any time.
And if the coordinates of the main world are exposed, He Ao believes that the Starlight Figure will not let him "escape".
In public and private, He Ao was forced into a corner, and he had to come to the ruins to seek a glimmer of life.
Did the Starlight Figure expect this? He should have expected it a long time ago.
He may even be at ease, just waiting for He Ao to come.
It's just that the 'development' of the story did not go completely according to his 'expectations'.
He asked 005 to push Li Cheng to find the egg of analysis and seek promotion. It is very likely that he wanted to kill Li Cheng directly with the help of the 'king'.
When He Ao came to the ruins before, he could feel that the 'king' angel was not close to the tower and was not staying in the 195th institute near the tower.
Even if the 195th institute is a 'nest' of the king angel, he does not necessarily have to stay in the nest all the time.
So the Starlight Figure or 005 is likely to use some method to keep the king angel in the 195th institute these days to ensure that Li Cheng can meet the king angel and then be killed by the king angel.
And later, because the 'king' is extremely sensitive to the Velora, the king's existence can 'block' the Velora to a certain extent, greatly limiting He Ao's ability to move.
In this way, if He Ao is forced to come to the ruins alone, he will only become a turtle in the jar of the Starlight Figure after losing his teammates.
Everything was planned perfectly, but then the first step went wrong.
The King Angel did not kill Li Cheng, but was "scared away", and did not have the "energy" to trouble the Velora in a short time.
This not only allowed He Ao to master the Egg of Analysis to a certain extent, allowing Li Cheng to have the possibility of promotion, but also freed up He Ao's mobility in the ruins, allowing him more time to make more arrangements.
He Ao himself did not expect that this incident would have such an "effect" and allow him to gain such an "advantage".
After all, he had not yet determined the specific situation of the main world at that time.
Although he was somewhat skeptical about the "role" that the King Angel, or the "rational part" of the King Angel, really played in this incident, overall, this "early advantage" helped him a lot.
This greatly increased the possibility of him revitalizing the current situation.
In fact, there was an "information gap" between him and the Starlight Shadow.
The Starlight Shadow thought that everything was developing normally and He Ao was still in the dark, but in fact He Ao had figured out the situation and started to make arrangements as soon as possible.
When the Starlight Figure discovered that the King Angel had failed to complete the task, He Ao had lost the initiative briefly when he was "letting go" in the ruins.
So He Ao immediately asked Hao Yi's clone to take the pages of the Book of the Past to the ruins to let go and attract the attention of the Starlight Figure.
And the short time he was "led" by He Ao, He Ao turned the "information gap" into a "time gap".
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!
And this "time gap" is the "opportunity" that He Ao fought for himself.
He Ao is here to influence these red lights, not without any chance. If the Starlight Figure has been on alert, it will be easy to find something wrong here, and it will be over before He Ao starts.
And after the attention of the Starlight Figure was attracted, He Ao had the opportunity to "operate" in other places.
He Ao stared at the red light in front of him.
Since 001 is connected with the "God of War", then he may be able to reversely use 001 to establish a connection with the God of War.
But He Ao had already used up the 001 fragment, and he didn't know where else there was a 001 fragment.
All he could find was the red light in front of him at the moment.
Even if a high-level item is broken, it will not completely disappear.
For example, the two items of 009 are essentially the "remains" of two high-level existences, and the three archangels of the ruins also have corpses and evil spirits left.
Although the 001 fragment is a kind of "derivative", after it is broken, it still retains some "breath", which has a certain influence on the surrounding world.
But this breath is already very, very weak.
He Ao can vaguely feel the existence of the "God of War" through these breaths through his powerful soul.
But it is impossible to directly use this breath to contact the "God of War", and it is also impossible to let the body of the God of War rely on this weak connection to perform "blessings".
As a "prayer", He Ao can hardly make the gods react in any way, and even his own thoughts cannot be transmitted.
However, He Ao does not have to operate with himself as the main body.
Since He Ao can sense the existence of the God of War and receive the contamination from the God of War through this weak "connection".
Then conversely, the God of War should also be able to sense his existence.
Since it is impossible to gain power as a ‘prayer’, how about letting the gods take the initiative to ‘bless’?
As a mortal, interfere with the will of the gods and manipulate the power of the gods.
If it is a living god, then He Ao’s current behavior is like an old man eating arsenic, which is no different from seeking death.
If it is some kind of abnormal god, it may even be difficult to want to die, facing endless torture.
But the God of War has long been dead.
The biggest ‘obstacle’ to this ‘plan’, that is, the gods themselves, is no longer an obstacle.
Then the next question is how to ‘manipulate’ the gods?
It is impossible to directly control the gods, even if the god is only a shell.
However, it may be possible to interfere with the gods in the opposite direction through the mystical ‘connection’ with the gods.
This is the ‘possibility’ that He Ao gradually realized after establishing a certain degree of ‘K’ belief through the City of Glory.
The current belief in ‘K’, the sacrifices and gifts for ‘K’, are actually essentially directed to the City of Glory and the ‘maid doll’ in the City of Glory.
But ‘K’ itself is directed to He Ao.
Although most of the time, because the maid doll and He Ao are ‘one’ in a sense, the entire pointing process can be simply summarized as the sacrifice is directed to the maid doll and He Ao, He Ao obtains the sacrifice information, and then asks the maid doll to give ‘feedback’.
But in fact, the entire operation involves very complex mystical connections.
This mystical connection allows He Ao to not only affect the maid doll and the City of Glory, but also be affected by the unconscious pollution of the two.
However, most of these pollutions were resisted by He Ao, so he was basically not disturbed.
But this also made him realize that this strong mystical connection is essentially similar to a kind of ‘communication’, and there is an influence between each other.
It’s just that the one with a strong will has become the absolute leader of the mystical connection, and it seems that the weak one has been affected.
But as long as the timing is right, the ‘weak’ one may not be unable to influence the strong one, for example, the strong one has already ‘died’.
And He Ao happens to have some ‘special’ strong mystical connection with the God of War.
That is the copy world, Nel, who has become the ‘sub-body of the God of War’ in a sense.
In most of the previous times, Nel was the middle station between He Ao and the ‘God of War’, borrowing power from the God of War and then passing it to a copy character of He Ao.
But that was in the copy world, when the distance was not far.
In the main world, or even in the ruins, He Ao couldn’t even let Nel descend on the power, and couldn’t even ‘pass’ his will across time and space by pointing to the emblem to establish communication with ‘Nel’.
He could only vaguely feel the existence of ‘Nel’.
This is because he has experienced these copies, and his strength and soul have been greatly increased. Before, he couldn’t even feel the specific existence of ‘Nel’.
Therefore, it is not feasible to ask Nell to send down his power. The power that comes down will be completely consumed halfway before it has finished its journey.
Therefore, he can only look at the God of War to see if he can make some kind of "blessing" directly through the God of War.
At this time, the problem comes back again. If He Ao wants to communicate with the God of War, he must communicate with Nell first.
However, communicating with Nell is easier than asking Nell to send down power like in the copy world.
Happy New Year's Eve. There may be a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I will take half a day off. I will update at noon on the first day of the new year. Everyone should rest early. Happy New Year.
