"In the Age of Discovery, all ocean-going merchant ships would carry some vegetable oil on board. It was usually used for ballast and food. When storms came, sailors would dump it on the surface of the sea to weaken the waves and make the sea as smooth as possible. This was the so-called wave suppression oil. When whaling ships passed through deep waters, they would also hang whale blubber on their ships to grease the surface of the sea in this way. In modern times, the governments of various countries stipulated that search and rescue ships must carry oil cans with wave suppression oil when carrying out rescue missions. This was only abolished after World War II. If you are interested, Hila, you can do an experiment. Pour ordinary cooking oil into a pond, and then the entire pond will become a mirror. Even if there is a strong wind or a violent shock, there will be no more ups and downs. "
At the southern end of the Pacific Ocean, Li Mochen was standing on the bow of a ship. At this moment, standing next to him were the Sea Goddess Thetis, the Magic Goddess Diana, and the newly minted Winter Goddess Hila.
The first two were very knowledgeable, and Thetis was the goddess who sheltered many medieval merchant ships, so she was no stranger to wave suppression oil.
Therefore, the only person Li Mochen was explaining to at this moment was Winter Goddess Hila. The latter also showed a look of relief in her eyes. "So, this oil can reduce the shock force, right?"
"That's roughly what it means, but the specific operation is much more troublesome. This time, I also used high-quality damping oil, and the effect is much better than vegetable oil and whale oil. In the next few days, nearly nine million tons of damping oil will be poured here, which is the stock that the Light and Magic Industry has been desperately producing this year. And before the shock occurs, I will first use divine power and forbidden spells to combine the water and oil here, forming a total of 99 layers of giant water shields, 50 kilometers wide and five kilometers high, to absorb the shock wave layer by layer. I named this' supreme technique '' Oil and Water Divine Shield. '"
Because it was a spell that was only suitable for this kind of occasion and would be useless after one use, Li Mochen's name was very casual.
"Oil and Water Divine Shield?"
Hearing this name, Hila almost laughed out loud, but then she asked solemnly, "I guess the three God Kings are likely to add fuel to the fire. I'm not sure about Zeus and Ahura, but Odin will definitely do it. There are too many humans in this world, so many that they can affect who the God of Gods will belong to in the future. Therefore, it is best to reduce a portion of the population first before dividing your faith with the God of Light. "
"I knew it. That World Zero Three has been accelerating all along. Odin clearly has no mercy for his believers in the World of Beasts."
Li Mochen sneered with ridicule in his eyes. "But you don't have to worry. My preparations have always taken the strength of the three Godkings into consideration. Besides, no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible for them to push the shockwave to level 15 and above, right? They are God Kings, not gods above gods. "
He looked into the distance and said, "According to Angela's calculations, these 99 layers of shields can absorb at least 166 million tons of TNT. As for the rest, I will try my best to direct it towards the southern end of the world. "
After removing 166 million tons of TNT equivalent, the remaining impact force was still equivalent to a magnitude 13 earthquake wave. However, this was already enough to change the fate of most people in this world.
"Of all the spells I have seen, your so-called 'Oil and Water Shield' can be said to be the dumbest. The only commendable thing is that it cleverly uses physics and adapts to the local conditions, making the best use of the environment. "
Diana, the Goddess of Magic, commented emotionlessly, "But it still has three irreparable flaws, and I can only fix one."
"Afraid of fire, afraid of ice!"
Li Mochen sighed. "So this time, it must depend on luck and gamble that those few won't —"
As he said that, his expression suddenly changed slightly. "It seems that I don't have to worry about this anymore!"
In the next instant, an Angel King with three pairs of purplish-gold wings, armor condensed from Holy Light, a golden crown on his head, and a scepter in his hand appeared before him.
It was Gabriel, the divine sheriff of the God of Light and the former Goddess of Justice, Themis.
This one was not interested in talking to Li Mochen. She held a small conch in her hand and then gently sucked, and a large amount of white air in this area surged into it.
Hila and Thetis couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. She knew that this was the power of the God of Light. She temporarily removed the concept of "ice" from this place.
Li Mochen also smiled slightly. "It seems that we have common interests, don't we?"
"Then, there is one last flaw left."
Diana looked at Li Mochen. "Even though it is weakened by this oil-mixed water shield, it is still a level-13 earthquake wave, also close to the level of a god above gods. Except for the true divine kings who have reached the level of truth, no one can resist such an impact, and it is impossible to continue casting spells in that environment. In the end, you will be torn apart by the shock wave. "
She thought for a while and said, "I experienced the same thing once thousands of years ago. It was the combination of another world and the world of light, and it is also the source of the world of darkness. Although there was no earthquake, it caused the so-called prehistoric flood, which is also the source of the legend of Noah's Ark. "
Li Mochen knew about the prehistoric flood, which was a flood that almost covered the entire world. It happened between 10,000 and 16,000 years ago, and it was recorded in various places.
For example, in the East — "Huainan Zi, Reading the Underworld": In ancient times, the four poles were destroyed, the nine states were split, the sky could not be covered, and the earth could not be contained. The fire burned but did not extinguish, and the water was vast but did not stop. The beasts ate the people, and the birds seized the old and the weak. Therefore, Nuwa refined the five-colored stone to repair the sky.
For example, in ancient Babylon — "The Epic of Gilgamesh": The flood was accompanied by a storm, and almost all the mountains on the continent were submerged overnight. Only those who lived on the mountains and those who escaped to the mountains survived.
In ancient Mexico — "Chimalpopoca Pictorial Text Book": The sky was close to the earth, and within one day, all the people died, and the mountains were hidden in the flood.
And in ancient Greek records, it was said that Atlantis was destroyed by the prehistoric flood in 10,000 BC.
There were more than 600 legends about the flood in this world, and many ancient books of occultism recorded in detail everything that happened when the world of darkness and the world of light merged.
In addition, according to the legend, before the world of darkness, this world experienced a huge impact, which caused the dragon race, the overlord of the sky and the earth, to almost go extinct. That was also the source of the three foggy continents.
"It is because I have personally experienced it that I know that no one can stop this disaster, André."
Diana exhorted sincerely, "You will be smashed into pieces by this impact!"
"It is very dangerous, but I have a countermeasure."
This time, Li Mochen did not explain. "You will know when the time comes. Let me keep the specific method a secret for now. Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, I have to try. "
This was almost like the merit of repairing the sky, he would not miss this opportunity no matter what.
Just as he said to Kang Xiuli and the others, even if it was only for himself, even if it was only for his own benefit, he had to resolve this disaster, or even prevent it.
…
In a small Church of Destiny in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, Dandy Galanz looked hesitant as he received a divine amulet from the white-robed priest opposite him.
The amulet was priced at 1,500 gold duns, and it was said that it would only charge the cost. On the top was an astrolabe, which was one of the symbols of the God of Destiny, and below it was the image of a girl holding a giant shield. That was the Church of Destiny's recently conferred title of Earth Angel Kristin, which meant follower of God. It was said that she also had a Chinese name, Moon Goddess Rabbit, and was an angel who assisted the God of Destiny in ruling the earth and protecting all living beings.
On both sides of the Earth Angel Kristin were the Battle Angel Robert and the Calamity Dragon Angel Hazel.
Dandy Galanz still had some doubts about the so-called "only charge the cost" that the Church of Destiny announced to its believers. But when he held the amulet in his hand, he realized that the material of the amulet was really good.
Although Dandy used to be just an ordinary company employee, ever since the chaos that affected Australia half a year ago, he had been thinking day and night of wanting to obtain a protective artifact that belonged to him. He had also put some effort into this aspect.
The divine amulet in his hand had a magical wave that was close to that of a level-nine artifact. In this era where the price of magical materials had skyrocketed, the cost of this amulet was probably more than 1,500 gold duns.
"Actually, it's fine if you don't buy this amulet. The Lord is the protector of all believers. He won't take back his protection just because you didn't buy this amulet. "
The white-robed priest smiled and said, "This amulet is actually used to deal with the aftermath of the Cataclysm. It is expected that some very troublesome dark creatures will escape, and there may be a certain degree of disorder in society. Also, I must remind you that this amulet can be used five times to protect 20 people during the Cataclysm. My Lord hopes that his believers will help each other. He hopes that rich believers like you will do your best to help the poor and those who can't defend themselves. "
"Of course, I will."
Dandy's expression was slightly solemn, and he solemnly promised, but there was still some hesitation in his eyes. "Lord Carlo, I've heard a lot of bad things recently, and they're all about my Lord."
"Someone is preaching to you, right?"
Pastor Carlo's eyes were gentle and as clear as water. "They say that this world is about to be destroyed, and the Cataclysm in a few days is just the beginning. Only by returning to the old beliefs of this world can there be salvation? There have been a lot of such things recently. "
"There's Apollo, the Sun God, the Lord of Dawn in Northern Europe, and the priests of Heimdallr, the God of Protection. They have organized a few preachings in my community."
Dandy realized that there was no need to hide this matter, so he spoke openly. "There are also some experts on TV who say this. They even say that my Lord and the God of Light have only stolen the honor and power of the old gods, and that my Lord will sooner or later usher in destruction. And we, the foolish people who believe in him, will also be with my Lord — "
"Blasphemy!"
Pastor Carlo snorted, interrupting Dandy's words. There was a hint of sternness in his eyes, but then he calmed down. "What do you think? Mr. Galans? I remember that you used to believe in Frey, the Norse God of Peace, right? I guess someone like you is more able to recognize the mercy of my Lord. "
Dandy Galans could not help but be silent. It was indeed as Carlo said. As long as they were not blind, they could feel the importance and protection of the Master of Fate toward his believers.
He had always believed that the Master of Fate was a benevolent god. There was no doubt about this. What he doubted was the power of the Master of Fate.
This made Dandy very ashamed, but he had to doubt and understand. If it was really because of his own beliefs that caused his family to be torn apart in the Cataclysm, or even beyond redemption, then it would be too late for regrets.
"I was very angry at that time, and I wanted to tear their mouths apart, but I didn't have the power to do so."
Dandy Galans' expression was complicated. "They said that this Cataclysm is the revenge of the old gods on this world, to let the mortals re-recognize their supreme majesty. They also said that this is the punishment of the Statue of Liberty. The people of this country betrayed her and forgot who created this country. So the people here will face destruction. Only the pious and repentant will have a chance to survive. "
"Then do you still believe in the Lord?"
Carlo asked in return. Then he saw Dandy's expression struggle. After a full ten breaths, this man's eyes still could not calm down.
Carlo could not help but shake his head. "You have to understand that faith is not an exchange. My Lord does not need believers. You should know that Dandy is the only ancient god since the beginning of the New Era, and a great god of laws. This matter is not recorded in the Bible, but I think you know about it, right? My Lord's reward and protection of his believers is not in exchange for the believers' faith in him. It is because as a human who has become a god, he believes that he has a responsibility to his race and to the world. So he will fairly use the divine power he received from you on every believer. "
He did not let Dandy Galans continue. Instead, he pointed at the star disk emblem on his chest.
"If you still doubt him, you can give up his emblem. And if you still believe in your god, then bring it and your family to the place that the Church has announced to the public. There, your god and the Church will provide you with safe shelter. But Dandy, the glory and authority of God also need the protection of believers — "
…
After hesitating for a while, Dandy Galans decided to drive his family and enough food for them to eat for ten days to the gathering place announced by the Church of Destiny.
According to his understanding. It was a large farm located on the south side of Melbourne. It had an area of about 30 square kilometers. It was surrounded by endless plains, and the terrain was relatively high.
It was said that the entire land around it had been purchased by the Church of Destiny as a shelter and hiding place for believers.
— — If they were to take refuge here, they would not have to worry about buildings collapsing or mountain torrents.
When Dandy Galanz hurried over, he discovered that the surroundings of this gathering place were shockingly constructed with three layers of walls that were 25 metres tall and 50 metres thick. It was like an ancient city wall fortress that encircled and protected the land within.
There were also a large number of fortresses, giant cannons, and magic armors on top of the high walls. Teams of well-equipped warriors were patrolling on top of them.
This scene made Galanz's uneasy family members calm down in an instant.
"This is simply a fortress. When was it built? It looks so powerful. It looks like it can even withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake. "
This was Dandy Galans' wife, Youni Galans. She then worriedly said, "Speaking of earthquakes, will our family be alright? We don't have any more savings, Dandy. "
Dandy also frowned. This was also what he was worried about. But staying at home now would only be more dangerous.
"Don't worry too much, both of you."
A girl in a white robe came to the side of their car. "Our Lord has given us an oracle a long time ago. As long as it is a building that can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7 and above, and has been reinforced and repaired recently, there is no need to worry. The Church asked you to take refuge in the shelter just to prevent accidents. The Great Cataclysm will indeed happen, but our Lord will also do his best to quell and stop it. He will do his best to not let his people suffer. "
Dandy was silent. He could tell that this girl was not a priest, but a volunteer recruited by the Church of Destiny.
But towards the girl's words, he had his reservations. He had already received the oracle of the God of Destiny 20 days ago.
But recently, there were relevant experts on the television who popularized that it would be a magnitude 14 earthquake. In ancient times, it was earthquake waves of this magnitude that caused the death of countless dragons. It was only because the World of Light was wider now that it could withstand more power.
Not long after, when the epicenter of the collision of the two worlds reached Australia, the earthquake's magnitude was still as high as 10.4. That was a power that was enough to destroy all the buildings in this country.
They also revealed the truth of the prehistoric flood. It was not because the God of Light saw that the world was full of corruption, violence, and illegal evil, so he planned to use the flood to destroy the evil people. Instead, it was a disaster caused by the merging of the two worlds.
"I know that many members of the church are worried, but what if we look at it in another way? The gods have all given up on this country, and only our Lord is still trying to save it. "
The girl by the window had already entered into work mode. "Please show me your driver's license and emblem, okay? One of you is not a believer of our church, is he a believer of the God of Song and Dance, MJ? There is another who has been in the church for less than a month! Then please pay 1,300 Australian rupiah, 100 gold rupiah per person per day. New members can get a 20% discount, and those who believe in His Majesty's follower god, if they are senior believers for more than three years, can get a 50% discount. As you can see, our church has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this refuge. Although the government has also allocated funds, most of the funds are raised by our church ourselves. There are only 100,000 campsites designed here, and your arrival may take over the positions of other believers. Well, your campsite is in the east 12th district. Please follow the signs, and someone will arrange for you when you get there. "
Dandy Galanz was already prepared for the fees here. He did not hesitate to pay 1,300 Australian rupiah to the girl by the window.
According to the exchange rate, this was about 900 gold rupiah, equivalent to half a month's salary for the couple. But Dandy Galanz knew that the church had indeed invested a lot into this. Just by looking at this stronghold, he knew that the cost was no less than one billion gold rupiah. Including the armed forces and equipment, the cost might be even more.
Although the believers of the Church of Destiny would donate to the church if they could afford it, a few wealthy Australians had donated billions to the Church of Destiny in recent years.
But the Church of Destiny had built more than 100 such campsites all over Australia.
"Damn it! Loa, you two made us spend more than a thousand gold rupiah! "
Mrs. Galanz felt a headache coming on. "What MJ? Can he save your life, or can he make money?"
"I like Jackson!"
Luo Ya was their eldest son. He replied arrogantly from the backseat, "Do you believe in God just to get benefits from God, AH? Besides, MJ is also a follower god of the Lord of Destiny. "
His sister, Clemmy, said weakly, "Mom, Dad, you guys asked me to slow down my conversion. I actually like the Lord of Destiny, and I wanted to convert a long time ago."
"You can still dance and sing when you're dead?"
Mrs. Galanz continued to reprimand her child. Then, she exclaimed, "Wow! So many people. There are already so many believers of the Lord of Destiny? "
This was because the pickup truck they were in had driven into the city gate. Then, they saw countless tents appearing in front of them.
Mrs. Galanz could not tell how many there were. At first glance, she could only see an endless number of tents. They were all large tents that were as tall as two people. They were neatly set up on both sides of the road.
Then, she was surprised to find that the ground here seemed to have undergone a preliminary hardening process. It seemed like there was also water and electricity. This made the few people in the car feel a little excited. They knew that the next few days might not be as tough as they had imagined.
But at this time, Mrs. Galanz realized that although her husband was driving, he seemed to be in a trance, as if his soul had left his body.
"Dear, look at the road. We seem to have passed the East 12th District. We should turn left from the previous crossroad."
As she reminded him, her eyes were filled with confusion. "Is there something on your mind, Dandy?"
"I'm thinking about that girl. What she said just now."
After Dandy Galanz came back to his senses, he sighed. "I think what she said is right. If we look at Australia's current situation from another angle, isn't it just the Gods watching coldly from the sidelines? Isn't it because the gods are watching coldly from the sidelines? Isn't it our Lord who is working hard to save this country? "
