According to the known information, in the special environment of the God of War's Kingdom of God, all kinds of magic items would not be able to replenish their energy from the surrounding environment, but the magic stored in the items would not be affected. The Explorer magic puppet could still rely on the magic crystal in its body to move around in the God of War's Kingdom, so Kamel could also carry a huge magic crystal array to prevent himself from being "damaged" after entering the God of War's Kingdom.
He looked down at the silver-white metal box next to him. There was a transparent crystal "skylight" at the top of the box. Through the skylight, he could see a neat row of light blue crystals inlaid on a grid plate engraved with runes. There were several layers of such crystal plates in the box. Under the condition that he did not cast any large-scale spells, they were enough to sustain Kamel's activities in this strange environment for a long time.
Although Kamel had a far greater magic reserve than ordinary mages and could survive here for a long time, as Windsor Mappel said, doing so would ultimately damage his "life foundation" and was too dangerous. So unless there was an emergency, Kamel did not intend to directly use his magic body to resist the dry environment here.
The mirror-like portal floated quietly in the square of the God of War's Kingdom. The White Knight began to set up a temporary forward base with the portal as the center. They set up the necessary equipment, the repair station, the medical station, and the supply point one after another. At the same time, two White Knights came to the portal and began to set up a special device.
The main body of the device was a metal pile with many rune interfaces. It was no more than half a meter tall and the structure was not complicated. From the bottom of the pile, there was a "drag chain" structure formed by sections of alloy plates. The alloy plates were engraved with precise conductive runes and inlaid with lines made of mithril, adamantine, and other magic conductive metals. They were connected to each other by precise and stable hinges. It looked expensive.
After fixing the metal pile on the ground, a White Knight carefully sent the alloy "drag chain" to the portal and put the front end of it through the "mirror".
A moment later, the rune drag chain shook slightly as if someone had connected and fixed it. Then Kamel saw a faint glow on the surface of the metal pile fixed next to the portal. The originally dim runes flashed a few times and quickly lit up.
"The theory is correct. The magic power is coming." One of the two White Knight in charge of the installation stood up. A muffled voice came from under the heavy helmet. "Master Kamel, the magic supply station has been activated."
Kamel nodded with satisfaction. A trembling voice came from inside his body. "Very good. At least when we are next to the portal, we can replenish the magic power at any time."
"What do we do next?" The other White Knight looked at Kamel, who was floating in the air with a big box behind him. "Do we go to the exit of the square as planned?"
"Wait a minute," Kamel said in a deep voice. "Our senior consultant will provide technical support here."
As soon as his voice trailed off, before the White Knight could ask for further details, everyone present suddenly felt an unusually powerful, solemn, and extremely oppressive aura descending on the square. The White Knight looked in the direction of the aura in astonishment, only to see that the newly installed metal pile, which was not connected to any magic power equipment at all, was glowing red at full power. At the same time, accompanied by a low humming sound, the rune drag chain, which theoretically could carry a large amount of power, emitted heat and energy sparks out of nowhere. The next second, they saw a cloud of lightning appear out of thin air above the metal pile!
The cyclone lasted for a while before it finally stabilized. An extremely tall figure emerged from the cloud. The figure was as huge as a bell tower, exuding an aura that made it difficult for people to look away against the hazy and chaotic sky of the divine kingdom. She had the outline of a woman, but her face was completely shrouded in a veil-like mist. She was wearing a long black dress that looked like a palace dress, and countless runes that looked like stars were shining in the depths of her 'skirt.' Her features were exactly the same as the 'provenance of all spells' and 'master of all mysteries' described by the sorcerers.
She walked out of the cyclone, and then, under the shocked gaze of the White Knight, the 'huge lady' suddenly began to shrink, and in just a few seconds, she turned from the height of a bell tower into a noblewoman who was' only 'about three meters tall. Her face became clear, and the mist in front of her face turned into a translucent black veil. Her lower body, which was like smoke and dust, also showed a solid texture. In the end, except for her height of three meters, she almost looked like a' mortal '.
"The method taught by Old Deer really works …" The lady stepped forward and looked down at her current body. She said in a satisfied tone, "This is the first time I have 'compressed' myself so small outside of the neural network. Unfortunately, this is just an incarnation."
Kamel felt that the flow of magic in his body changed the moment the lady arrived. Although they soon stabilized, it was enough to prove how powerful and 'dignified' the lady was. But he had long been used to it. It was not the first time they met. After the establishment of the Theocratic Council, they had become 'colleagues' in a sense. The 'provenance of all spells', who used to be a god, was now just a senior consultant in the unit.
He floated to the lady who was still three meters tall even after 'shrinking'. With a solemn attitude, he asked, "Ma 'am, is the situation on your side stable?"
"Not bad. Everything is as predicted. This incarnation is enough to handle the operation." Mirmina looked down at Kamel, then looked up again. Her eyes swept across the dead city and the silhouettes of the towering palaces in the distance. There was a hint of emotion in her voice. "The divine kingdom of the God of War … I really did not expect that one day I could really step into the realm of another god."
She looked back. The red light on the surface of the metal cylinder set up next to the portal was gradually fading, and the rune chains were steaming. In just one short incarnation, the magic mechanism, which used the most expensive materials, had been tested to the limit. But anyway, it had withstood the impact, just as she had calculated.
The Goddess of Magic had arrived in the divine kingdom of the God of War (x).
Mirmina crawled through the network cable into the ownerless mansion after the fall of the God of War (√).
"This place is really uncomfortable." Mirmina retracted her gaze and roughly felt the situation around her. Although the God of War had fallen, the corresponding divine throne had disappeared, and she herself had escaped the 'chain', the ownerless divine kingdom would no longer actively resist her, an 'invading god', but the unique magic depletion environment still made her feel uncomfortable. "Completely repelling magic … No wonder this is a place where a brute lives."
"Does the environment here have a big impact on you?" Kamel could not help but look at the incarnation of the god who had arrived here. When she spoke, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be many rune chains around her. Those vague phantoms shrouded the 'Magical Provenance' like layers of seals, and also blocked all possible spiritual pollution that could leak out.
Hearing Kamel's words, Mirmina obviously did not think much of it. "You don't have to worry about me. The environment here is not good, but at this rate of depletion, it will take at least ten years to exhaust the power of my incarnation …"
Kamel heard that and looked up at the 'god', and saw a faint mist rising behind her. The dark purple mist was mixed with fine arcane flames. He could not help but say, "But you have been smoking since just now."
"…" Myrmina looked up silently. After a long time, she lowered her head again. Her tone was no longer as confident as before. "Well, it may be two years … This is not important. Explorers, it's time for us to act. The area of this space is not small, and the edges are constantly collapsing. We have to make good use of this place before that."
"Knight Solider, take the first squad and continue to set up a stronghold here. We'll meet up with the rest of the technicians. Knight Quinn, take the second squad with you. We'll head to the gate that the Explorer Golem discovered last time!" Carmel took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Knight Solider, take the first squad and continue to set up the stronghold. Knight Quinn, take the second squad with you. We'll head to the gate that the Explorer Golem discovered last time!
After that, he immediately lowered the brightness of his body, and the two flames where his eyes should be shrunk. The capacity of the charger was limited, and he had to use it sparingly to prolong his stay here …
…
In the dark and chaotic courtyard of the Courtyard of Disobedience, the holy white giant deer stood quietly in the middle of a large number of arcanotech devices operating at full power. Its pair of crystal-like eyes silently looked at a platform in front of it.
On the platform, there was a huge chair carved from a nearby boulder. A woman in a black regal dress, her lower body as illusory as a cloud, and as tall as a bell tower sat quietly on the chair. Around the chair, there were dozens of arcanotech devices buzzing. On top of the devices floated artificial crystals that emitted soft blue and white light. The crystals released a special force field that shrouded the entire courtyard, and as the focus of the force field, the woman on the chair was shrouded in layers of runic halos, forming layers of seals … but also layers of protective barriers.
Suddenly, Mirmina, who was sitting on the chair, opened her eyes. Her eyes reflected the scene of another space, and her voice was low and calm. "We have left the square … and entered the inner part of the wall."
"What's the situation over there?" Amoun looked at the 'Goddess of Magic' who was projecting part of her power along the route and asked with concern, "Is there any danger?"
"We saw many giant stone statues and hollow armor guarding the gate … but the stone statues are just stone statues, and the armor has long been immobile. There are no guards in the entire city that can still move," Mirmina said softly. Suddenly, a bright light burst out from one of her eyes. The light formed a clear and three-dimensional hologram in front of Amoun, showing the scene that the divine kingdom's expedition team saw. "The God of War is really and completely dead … dead as can be."
Amoun lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "But the kingdom he left behind will still drift in the deep sea for many, many years, even until the end of our civilization …"
"About this … I found something interesting," Mirmina said faintly. "This kingdom probably won't drift in the 'deep sea' for hundreds of thousands of years like the other divine kingdoms we know … I can feel that it is dissipating faster than we thought, and faster than what Madam Enya described. Maybe it will only take a few decades, or even a decade, for it to completely disappear. "
"… It's dissipating so fast!?" Amoun's eyes widened. "How could this be?"
"I guess this is because it began to disintegrate after the mortals broke free from the chains," Mirmina said. "The act of the mortals breaking free of the chains set off a huge wave in the thoughts, and it was enough to affect the deep sea. The God's Lingering Sound, which can slowly disintegrate for decades in a calm environment, will disintegrate faster in the face of this kind of ripple."
"… The impact of that battle has such an effect?" Amoun said slowly. "It seems that the mortals don't have much time to study it …"
"No, it's enough," Mirmina said softly. The shadow of the rune chain circulated around her like a stream. Her voice also softened. "For these diligent mortals, this is enough …"
…
Carmel led the exploration team past the city wall at the edge of the square. They ventured deeper into the City of the Gods that was built from the thoughts of many mortal believers as they continued their exploration.
The Goddess of Magic, who came here to provide help in the form of a clone, walked next to the team. When the explorers found something, she would often stop to help with the analysis and provide some ancient knowledge for reference.
A three-meter-tall lady in the team gave them a strange feeling. Most of the White Knight were tall, especially after wearing the special power armor. The two-meter-tall figure was almost the standard for these armed priests. Kamel, who had been floating in the air for a long time, also had a good height, but all of this was meaningless in front of the three-meter-tall Lady of the Tower.
The tallest White Knight also looked like a "child" when he walked with Milmina at this moment.
But this strange feeling was just in everyone's mind. No one would say it out loud. After all, this team was well-trained. They were here for business.
"The area we are passing through should be the 'Cheers Trail' described in the canon of the God of War." Kamel recalled the information he had learned before and said while observing the surroundings. "It is said that this is the area where the servants of the God of War live. It is connected to the Glory Square and the Eternal Arena for the brave warriors. It also leads to the palace for the warriors to rest. When the warriors who are favored by the God of War die bravely, they will pass through the Glory Square and enter this street to receive the cheers of the servants of the God of War. Step by step, they will shed their mortal bodies and become the eternal spirits of the God of War's kingdom … "
A white knight raised his head and glanced at the buildings with iron gray roofs that had no doors or windows, as well as the wide, empty streets. After a long time, a low voice came from his heavy helmet. "There is no cheer."
The clone of Lady of the Tower lowered her head. "Yes, there is no cheering … The glorious myth has been ended by the mortals with their own hands."
