"We must speed up, Thor!"
In the Sea of Sin in the Dark World, inside the Skid Pratney, the God of Desire, Lorde, was also disappointed. "The King of Gluttony, Belok, is infamous. In his heyday, he destroyed at least seven worlds for the Lord of Khorne. But he is still no match for the Lord of Fate. The God of Fate and Time has become even more powerful — "
"Then speed up!"
Thor's face was cold and solemn, without much expression. However, there was a tinge of fear in his eyes.
He thought that now, after five years, he would have the strength to fight the Lord of Fate head-on. But the battle that took place in the Outer Domain's Void told him that he was still far from being able to rival his enemy, who had destroyed the Aesir Divine Branch.
Although the King of Gluttony was in a difficult situation, Thor knew that in the entire World of Light, there was probably no one who could fight him head-on.
Thor even suspected that after completely leaving the boundary, Belok, in his heyday, could even fight against the gods who had not yet mastered the Law of Creation.
But now, Andrew Lee Wildenstein only used one of his Dual Elemental Bodies to suppress Bellek.
According to his judgment, Belok would be killed by the Lord of Fate in half an hour at most.
"In three minutes, I need our church to prepare for the return of the Aesir Pantheon to the World of Light!"
As he spoke, Thor's will turned into an oracle and was passed down to all the high priests of the Aesir Pantheon.
"Three minutes?" Willy, the God of Forging, said, "Then the church will suffer a great loss."
The Aesir Pantheon did not prepare too many sacrifices. If they wanted to descend early, they would have to sacrifice the lives of some low-level priests. But in the World of Light, the Aesir Pantheon did not have many devout priests.
Although the scale of the Aesir Pantheon had recently expanded, the new believers and priests were mostly followers of evil gods. Even their minds were not normal.
"Thor's decision is right, Willy."
Lorde, the God of Desire, smiled bitterly. "Haven't you noticed that the pressure on the Destiny Pantheon is weakening? If we miss this opportunity, we might have to pay ten times the price to descend upon the world of light. "
He then changed his tone. "Of course, we will do our best to screen them. Those who truly believe in Asa, our pious lambs, will receive extra protection."
Willy was skeptical. He thought that with Lord and Thor's current state, they might not care about the interests of the Asgard Divine Race.
"There is nothing wrong with necessary sacrifices, my dear uncle. Believe me, we will not always be like this."
Thor's face was gloomy as he looked at Willy with bloodshot eyes. "They need flesh and blood, and a clean soul that can carry wisdom. This is the only way to help them reconstruct their souls and bodies. "
Willie turned his head and glanced at the group of Aesir gods in front of Thor, who had black gas on their faces, as well as the dozen or so huge Abominations outside the 'Skid Platney'.
"The Asgard Divine Race will rise again, and our master's glory will shine upon millions of realms in this era. Under Master's wings, whether it's a God King or a Paramount God, it's all within our reach. "
Willy wondered if Asa would still be Asa after this. But in the end, he remained silent.
He knew that at this time, their will no longer mattered.
※ ※ ※
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, in the suburbs of Manhattan in the United States of America, Georgia Anisen led his family into the basement of his house with a cold expression on his face.
Georgia was not surprised at all by the activation of the magic tower array and the evacuation alarm today.
The Manhattan municipal government issued the highest level of warning to all citizens a week ago, and two days ago, the entire city was under martial law. Schools were suspended throughout the city, and a large number of people from the suburbs were pouring into the city. All the shelters in the city were also in a state of readiness for war. They also hired a lot of extra police officers and strengthened the security level in each district.
This showed that the government of America had long predicted this day and attached great importance to it. At the same time, it also meant that the current situation could be very serious.
And as a quasi-rich man with an annual salary and dividend income of more than 30 million gold duns in Manhattan, as well as the CEO of a chemical group, Georgia had long known that the Manhattan municipal government had passed a secret budget of up to 220 billion gold duns in the past three years for the transformation and strengthening of the magic tower array, shelters, and all high-rise buildings; and hoarded a large number of living supplies in various underground warehouses, enough to ensure that after Manhattan was cut off from the outside world, 42 million people in the city and 19 million people in the surrounding suburbs who had retreated into the city could live for two years.
"George, can you tell me what happened?"
Mrs. Anisen looked worried, "The TV said that it might be an alien invasion from other realms, and that it's an evil god. It's the Asgard Divine Race and the Church of Desire who are teaming up to take revenge on America. Nothing will happen this time, right? George? You're the CEO of Awarna Chemical Group, haven't you heard anything? "
"I don't know, my dear Jenny. Awarna Chemical Group is nothing in Manhattan. It's just a group with a market value of 120 billion gold duns, and most of our factories have left America. Our relationship with the government is limited. But I suggest you don't listen to the nonsense of those so-called sources. They don't know anything and are just making groundless accusations. "
George Anisen shrugged, at the same time watching his three bodyguards and magic consultant seal the entrance of the basement step by step and activate the magic array.
The skyscrapers and shelters in Manhattan were equipped with the highest level of steel and concrete fortifications, as well as the best magic defense arrays. There were also a large number of city guards and armed forces of the Church guarding the place, so it was relatively safer.
But George knew that places with many people were often the main targets of the enemy, so like most rich people, he chose to take refuge in his own basement.
Although the magic tower array in this basement was relatively small, George had invested a lot of money to build it. In terms of defense level per unit area, it was far superior to those shelters.
Apart from that, he and his four children were all powerhouses outside the law, and he himself had a magic level of more than level-15. In addition, he hired three level-12 bodyguards and a level-14 magic consultant, it was enough to ensure the safety of this small shelter.
The reason was simple. It was impossible for the danger from inside the city to break through his basement. If the danger came from outside, then when the magic tower array of the city collapsed, no matter how strong the defense inside the city was, it would be useless.
George also believed that in this basement, including his servants, bodyguards, and their families, there were less than 120 people, and it was not enough to attract the attention of the evil believers.
"Is the reason important? No matter what kind of threat it is, the situation is very dangerous. Even the Alaskan War five years ago didn't have such a citywide martial law. "
This was George's eldest son, Dabbs Anisen. He was drinking coffee on the sofa. "Outlanders, the underworld, evil gods, these are all possible."
Mrs. Anisen immediately became even more nervous. George Anisen glared at his son, then comforted his wife gently. "Don't listen to him, Jenny. This time, the government's defense is very perfect. Our magic tower array in Manhattan is no longer the same as before. The government invests hundreds of billions of gold shields every year to strengthen it, so it can be guaranteed that nothing will go wrong. Also, even if you don't believe in the government of America and the president, you should believe in the Church of Destiny. Didn't the spokesman of the Destiny Alliance say it on television before? The Destiny Alliance will do its best to ensure the safety of all people in the world. He told us not to panic. As the master of fate, he is the protector of the world's civilization and all humans. There is no doubt that he is powerful. Those evil gods are no match for him. They can forget about stirring up trouble. "
"But the spokesman also said that this is a long-term struggle for humanity. This is a disaster that everyone needs to face together." This time, it was Anisen's second son. He was tidying up his magic armor and was eager to try it out.
"Then you should have heard the three warnings from the spokesman. Don't spread panic!"
George Anisen became even angrier. "What are you going to do? Go out and fight? Stay here and don't cause trouble for the government and the church! "
"They said that those with the means should try to help those around them and provide support to those who need help." The young man finally calmed down under the stern gaze of his parents.
"Stupid André, are you sure you're helping others? And not asking others to help you? "
While scolding, George Anisen used a stern gaze to order his two daughters, who were also tidying up their equipment, to obediently put down their weapons.
Both of them, along with Georgia's second son, attended the newly built Manhattan School of Destiny. It was a school with a strong teaching force, especially when it came to nurturing magical professions. Although it had only been established for less than 13 years, all the students that graduated were at the level of Outsider, and the requirements for talent were not very strict. So not long after the school was established, it was already famous throughout the five lakes.
Although it was not a noble school, it surpassed the 'Star Vein' noble school and became the first choice of many rich children. This was because everyone knew that for a long period of time in the future, it would be the era of magic ability professionals.
George was also very satisfied with this school. The only thing he didn't like was that the school's ideology was too leftist, and they worshiped martial arts.
After suppressing his three children, George brought his bodyguards and began to arrange accommodation for the families of his servants.
The basement he built was very spacious. It had a total of three floors. Each floor was 3000 square meters, enough to accommodate more than a hundred people. At the very least, the conditions here were much better than those crowded sanctuaries.
George was a devout believer of the Church of Destiny and faithfully followed the teachings of the God of Destiny. One of the more important things in the Church of Destiny was the unity, love, and help between believers. He agreed with the God of Destiny's view that humans needed to work together to deal with disasters, especially the demonic disaster caused by the gods. If humans looked on coldly at their own kind in the disaster, how could they ask the gods to help them? They also needed to learn to rely on their own strength to solve problems and not blindly rely on the gods.
But just as George settled everyone down and checked the magic protection array in the basement, he heard a scream from the direction of the hall.
George was taken aback. He hurried over and found that the people in the basement had gathered here. The large TV screen that was used for watching movies was turned on, and it was playing an extremely evil scene.
George didn't take a closer look and looked directly at his personal security captain. "Rhode, what's going on? I remember that the limited TV fiber has been cut off. "
This was a request from the government and the church. They ordered all shelters and private shelters to not watch any limited or wireless TV for today and tomorrow.
"Yes, Mr. Anisen. I removed the connection myself. In fact, they're not connected now. "
The private security captain named Rhode said with a solemn expression. "This is the power of magic. Someone directly projected the video in —"
Boom!
Before Rhode finished speaking, the large 90-inch TV was smashed into pieces by a teacup. The person who did it was George's eldest son, Dabbs Anisen.
But in the next instant, an image was directly projected onto the side wall.
At this time, George's expression was already extremely ugly. He instinctively suspected that there was a problem with the magic tower's defense array.
But his expression changed slightly at this moment. He looked at his police security phone. This person was in charge of the Anisen family's security and was also a volunteer police officer.
Then he looked slightly relieved. "The government issued an announcement saying that this is the power of a certain evil god. It's a theocracy called 'projection'. His Holiness called us to wait and see and not panic. It's best to pray to the Lord. The evil god can't directly pollute our minds, and the magic tower's array itself is also fine. If you're worried, you can activate the holy rune array and borrow the power of the Lord. "
The 'holy rune array' was promoted by the Church of Fate and the Association of Mages in recent years and was forcibly installed in all sanctuaries. It could use the power of the Lord of Fate to purify the mind and suppress evil thoughts.
George also received the news. His mobile phone was also a special model. Even in this basement, he could receive signals. The 'Church of Fate' had already sent a group text message explaining the current situation.
— — As everyone knew, all electronic products that were connected to the wireless network were currently safe.
George asked a few servants to organize people to pray to the Lord of Fate and sing hymns. At the same time, he was distracted and looked at the projection on the wall.
It was an altar. Streams of bright red blood could be seen flowing from the top of the altar, but there were no corpses. And standing on the altar was a figure holding a microphone, dressed like a reporter but wearing a clown mask.
"— — People under the protection of the Lord of Fate, you're undoubtedly lucky. You have a benevolent Lord. His divinity is noble, and he has always kept his promises. He made an agreement with the world to provide protection for civilization and intelligent life. "
A look of confusion appeared in George's eyes. He thought, Is this preaching for the Lord of Fate?
But then, he saw the clown reporter smiling evilly. "But at the same time, you're also tragic and unfortunate. His divinity, his strength, and his growth have brought him and his believers many enemies. And we're one of them. Do you know where this is? Everyone? "
Then the image on the projection screen was suddenly pulled away. Then, at least 13,000 corpses suddenly appeared in front of George. They were lying in disorder on a huge square, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
This sudden change in scene also brought a huge visual impact to everyone, shaking their souls. Some of the women in the hall who had yet to close their eyes to pray could not help but cry out in surprise, while the men, after recovering from the shock, began to whisper among themselves.
"Oh my god, I recognize this place. That's the Lexington Avenue's Fallout Shelter 9. Is everyone dead? "
"How could this be? Lexington Avenue is a heavily guarded area, right? There are more than 20 Templars there. "
"Is there no response from the government?"
"It's hard to be sure if this is true. I heard from the priests that these evil gods are good at deception."
At the same time, the clown's voice suddenly lowered.
"Very surprised, right? Everyone in front of the screen? This is the Lexington Avenue's Fallout Shelter 9. It's a pity that your Lord couldn't protect them. And from now on, all of you will become sacrifices for the ancient gods. This is their revenge against the Lord of Fate — "
These words, like ravings, entered George's ears. People couldn't help but want to hear it clearly. But when he concentrated and listened carefully, he suddenly felt that he couldn't control himself, and all kinds of messy thoughts rose from his heart.
"Pacificae (Tranquility)!"
That was the mage consultant hired by George. Not only did he open the 'Holy Rune Array' in time, but he also cast the Church of Destiny's divine spell 'Serenity'. This mage was also a Level Six Priest of Fate.
Due to the fact that the God of Destiny had mastered numerous Forbidden Spells and extremely profound magical attainments, the Mages of this world would usually worship both Diana and the God of Destiny at the same time. Being a Priest of Destiny was the choice of many Mages.
George Anisen's face paled. "I have to thank you, my Mr. Consultant, for saving me. This is too strange, too evil. "
"This is not a serious problem, my Mr. Consultant." The mage consultant laughed. "This is the ravings of an evil god. Only high-level magic professionals can understand it. Any power below this level will be blocked by the defensive array. And with your will, as long as you are not in a particularly weak state, you can easily get rid of it. Otherwise, the Church would have specially reminded you. But this evil god is really powerful. "
George glanced around and found that most people didn't notice it. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He was most worried that his family and servants would be infected by the evil god. They didn't have a powerful soul like him.
"— Look, the law enforcers of the government are late. Now let's change the location for the interview."
The image shook for a moment, showing the few Magic Armors rushing over to the scene. Then, the scene changed again, this time to another place.
This time, the image was a telescopic lens, showing over 20,000 corpses and the blood-colored altar that was filled with an evil aura.
"Which sanctuary is this?"
"It's one on Ninth Avenue. I don't know which one it is exactly. My god! These evil cultists, they are committing a crime against the entire society, against the entire human race. "
"Damn it! I can't believe I feel pity for them because the city council reinstated the death penalty. "
George Anisen asked the magic consultant with an ashen face. "Can you cut off these images? They should be collecting 'fear'. "
The Church of Fate did not hide the existence of the gods from its believers. In the ten years since its rise, it had spread all knowledge about the gods to the entire society.
So George Anisen knew that whether it was' respect ',' gratitude ',' anger 'or' fear ', these human emotions could give the gods power.
"There's nothing we can do. This should be a very powerful divine authority, possibly reaching the legendary level of truth. We can't stop it. But other than spreading information, tempting, or triggering people's emotions, it seems to have limited uses. "
The magic consultant shrugged. "The only way is to not watch it and focus on praying to the Lord of Fate."
While they were talking, the scene kept changing. It had changed to at least four shelters, and all of them were tragic cases where everyone had died. This made everyone's mood sink.
Although many of them were already praying with their eyes closed, fear was still spreading among the people.
"Something's wrong!"
George's eldest son, Dabbs Anisen, suddenly became excited. "Did you notice, Father? I just saw someone's phone show 11: 20, and it's already 2 in the afternoon. And the clock in Sanctuary Nine showed 10: 20. This is a lie. These murders didn't happen at the same time. Obviously, their power in the city is limited, and they can't do whatever they want. "
George's face was blank. He didn't notice the abnormality on the phone and the clock. But since Dabbs said so, it was very likely to be true. His eldest son was a believer of the God of Truth and Justice, Constantine, and had the divine spell 'Eye of Truth.'
"The Church and the government have clarified that these murders didn't happen at the same time. They're trying to stop the cultists, calling everyone to believe in the government and the Church, and to be wary of suspicious people among us. "
Rod, the captain of the private security team, was flipping through his phone. "They also pointed out many suspicious points in the images. This is an obvious fraud. These images have been tampered with."
George Anisen's expression was still serious, and the image in front of him changed again.
This time, it was outside, and the clown reporter's figure was floating in the air.
"I believe your pastor and your Lord must be clarifying that it's fraud and a lie, right? I won't argue. This is because what happens next can be seen when you walk out of the sanctuary and out of the basement. "
The clown laughed heartily, his voice fluctuating between high and low, incomparably strange.
"Let's make a prophecy. What kind of disaster will this city face next?"
George could already see it. It was a sky full of black clouds, gathering from all directions and pressing down on the city, as if the world was about to be destroyed.
Amidst these dark clouds, countless strangely-shaped black tentacles of flesh and blood extended down into the downtown area of Manhattan. They all had incomparably huge bodies, and the city of Manhattan, which was 20,000 square kilometers in size, seemed insignificant in front of them.
George only felt a buzz in his mind, and his entire spiritual consciousness seemed to explode into countless pieces. This was the mental impact that the images gave him. It was because the tentacles contained too powerful the power of laws, which exceeded George's understanding and attacked his soul.
Just like before, the higher the level of the Mana profession, the stronger the impact on the soul.
But this time, George was prepared and quickly recovered.
"This is …"
"It's an evil god! It's probably a so-called Abomination. "
The wizard consultant's face was ashen. "They're powerful, very powerful. At least two of them have a Godhood of 20! "
At this moment, everyone, including George, felt as if their hearts had stopped beating. Fear and panic were rapidly growing in their hearts. And George's pupils suddenly shrank. His judgment was similar to the wizard consultant's.
"No! Our Lord will definitely stop these evil gods! "
"Our Lord doesn't have that many powerful subsidiary gods and angel kings."
"No one has ever been able to harm the Lord's people in Manhattan, never!"
It was also at this moment that the clown reporter took off his mask. It was a face without any facial features, only a huge eye.
"You're pinning your hopes on your Lord, right? What a pity! He and his subsidiary gods can't appear here. Your Lord abides by the contract he made with you, and is fighting against foreign evil gods in the Outer Realm. He is very brave, very good at fighting, and his warriors and subsidiary gods are also indestructible. But he can't protect you. Come to meet despair, and walk towards your fate. The end has come, poor lambs … "
The one-eyed reporter's voice stopped abruptly. This was because there were other changes in the scene. The magic tower array in Manhattan had already formed a huge magic shield. The layer of magic shield that was so transparent that it was almost invisible seemed fragile under the claws of those tentacles.
But when the two began to touch, the layer of magic shield didn't instantly break as everyone expected. It stubbornly resisted the pressure and impact of those tentacles, and persisted for a full three seconds without any signs of collapse. At the same time, the 64 magic towers in the sky all shot out dozens of blazing white beams of light. These powerful particle beam cannons actually burned a small half of those hundreds of tentacles in an instant.
These Abominations obviously couldn't be easily killed. They quickly multiplied and quickly returned to their original state, but the magic shield outside the city still stubbornly resisted their attacks. All hostile existences were firmly kept out of the city.
Georgia Anisen was stunned. The little bit of anxiety and despair that had just arisen instantly disappeared. At the same time, he felt puzzled. "Our city's magic tower array is actually so powerful?"
For the first time, he felt that it was worth it to pay up to 62% of the heavy tax he paid to the government. The federal government and the city government didn't waste his tax money.
"That's not all, Mr. Anisen."
The magic consultant shook his head. "Our magic tower array is indeed powerful, but that's because we have enough energy. It's really incredible that we actually have so much energy. To maintain a magic shield of this strength, we need at least a thousand nuclear fusion power plants. "
The private security captain Rhodes also put away his phone at this moment. "This is a gift from the gods! The text message from the church says that the gods of destiny have been fighting for the well-being of all humans and believers, and they have racked their brains. They had anticipated the disaster and had made ample preparations for it. They also said that we can now connect the cable to the TV, and the Manhattan TV station will provide a real-time broadcast of the outside situation. "
"So!"
Georgia's eldest son spread out his hands. "They've made such a scene, but they still can't do anything to our Manhattan and our gods, right?"
※ ※ ※
"We can still hold on for three minutes."
Inside the Kingdom of Destiny, Athena was smiling. "They've divided their power too widely and are too confident. But I think they'll react in three minutes at most and concentrate these Abominations at one point. "
No matter how powerful the magic tower array in cities like Manhattan and Los Angeles was, it was impossible to resist the joint attack of more than a dozen Abominations with a Godhood of 20.
"But they have no chance!"
Anthony had already left the artificial sun. He clapped his hands. "The inspection is complete. I guarantee that there's no major problem. There's only a one in a million chance that the fusion will stop. A one in a million chance. That's foolproof, right? "
Li Mochen's main body no longer hesitated. "I believe our luck will not decline to this point. I'm a god of fate after all."
In fact, he could not wait any longer.
"Senior Brother!" Li Mochen looked at Zhuanxu. "Please make a trip to the North Pole. I think Angie's side is still a little strained. It's better to leave that Prince Chaos to you, Senior Brother. The power over there belongs to the Abominations. I think there's nothing either side can say. "
Originally, he had left Zhuanxu here to prevent the sun's plan from failing. But now, there was no need for him to conserve his strength.
After the clone that Angela had conjured was replaced, it was more than enough to deal with Gaia and her daughter, or Zeus.
"Sure."
Zhuanxu's gaze was stern. "I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he crossed the void and arrived above the North Pole's ice sheet.
Coincidentally, the 'Li Mochen' conjured by Angela was already on the verge of being defeated. Zhuanxu glanced coldly at 'Chaos' Chaos Chaos Chaos, who was standing on top of the ice sheet. Then, he waved his long sleeve and a huge seal instantly flew into the air. It transformed into a huge mountain and pressed down on the ice sheet.
At this moment, if Li Mochen were here, he would recognize that this seal was extremely similar to the Kongtong Seal that he had once used, but it was even more powerful. The nomological spirit runes on it were even more exquisite, and they could communicate with heaven and earth.
At the same time, Chaos let out a furious roar. His body began to swell rapidly. It directly rose to a height of 17,000 meters, firmly supporting the huge mountain.
'Suppression' and 'Chaos' were fighting, 'Rift' and 'Ice' Divine Authority were fighting, 'Thunder' was punishing 'Nothingness', 'Death' was suppressing 'Life'.
The two of them were almost evenly matched in terms of strength. However, a green sword appeared in Zhuanxu's hand, and Chaos' body was being sealed in ice. He used most of his strength to resist the dangerous sword that Zhuanxu had yet to slash out. As a result, he could no longer resist the power of the ice seal.
At the same time, the resurrecting primordial gods and giants under the north pole's ice sheet gradually fell silent. The power of the ice sealed their wills.
"Your Majesty of the East!"
Apollo came to Zhuanxu's side, his eyes filled with admiration. "Your strength is truly unparalleled."
"It was your king who lent a portion of his origin power to me. Outside this world, I'm at most on par with this Chaos."
Zhuanxu smiled and glanced at him. "Go to the Outer Realm, Your Highness Apollo. The battlefield over there needs your strength."
The moment he descended, the numerous particle beam cannons of the three fortresses had already stopped firing. As the King of Dawn who wielded light, Apollo was no longer of use here. Instead, the void in the Outer Realm and the battlefield with the Bloodfeasting Demon Insects was more suitable for Apollo to unleash his strength.
Apollo did not hesitate. After bowing, he simply leaped into the air and left.
Not long after he left, an enchanting figure appeared in front of Zhuanxu. At this moment, his gaze was extremely cold.
"Little tortoise of the Eastern world, are you planning to stop me again?"
"I've already lost to you twice, but that doesn't mean I've lost the courage to fight against you, Your Majesty Perverted Sin Ruler."
Zhuanxu corrected him seriously. "Also, the Black Tortoise is not a tortoise. Moreover, that's already my past."
"The Black Tortoise is not a tortoise? What's the difference? "
Perverted Sin crossed his arms and frowned. "You wouldn't have told me this in the past. Are you stalling for time?"
"You guessed correctly!"
Zhuanxu replied expressionlessly. "But I'm guessing that you're already beyond redemption. Based on the outcome this time, Your Majesty Ruler, you've undoubtedly failed. You've lost to my junior brother."
"Oh?"
Perverted Sin Ruler did not appear too surprised. "I know that you're a cautious person. That shouldn't be a lie. In that case, what has he prepared for the new toy that I'm interested in? "
He did not receive an answer from Zhuanxu, nor did he need an answer from the latter. This was because at this moment, two suns suddenly appeared in this world. And the moment one of them appeared, it disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, almost the entire Dark World was shrouded in 'light'. For a moment, almost all the dark creatures wailed in pain. Their skin and hair were quickly being burned under the sunlight, and some were even directly burning.
The huge Dark Sea of Sin was also exposed to the sunlight for the first time.
