But the price is also obvious: the soldiers operating the flying golems are completely powerless when transferring their consciousness, and the flying golems themselves cannot carry weapons... Of course, it may also be because I have overlooked something?"
The chief of the Ling tribe, who was lying on the table, was muttering, while Yang Hao and others were listening very carefully.
After a while, the three of them applauded Nalujia for her new achievement in shock.
What shocked Yang Hao was that Nalujia, a child from a genuine tribe, could discover in just less than ten years something that took who knows how many years to develop on Earth.
Theresa and Finn were simply surprised and satisfied with the prospects of flying golems: after all, according to Naluga's explanation, these golems can not only be used on the battlefield, but even many civilian jobs can get better results with the assistance of flying golems.
All in all, this is a good technology that is worth the United Nations' full investment. If you must say that this technology has any hidden dangers...
I guess the biggest hidden danger is that the Isgardians might secretly learn it and use it in their own country
But strictly speaking, this is not a problem - this is a good thing that consumes a lot of mana resources. If you really want to learn it, we can give it to you for free.
Where will the magic materials be imported from then on? You should understand what I mean, right
Yang Hao lowered his head in satisfaction. Nalujia not only brought about a revolution in military and civilian technology in the United Nations, but also gave him another chance to cheat Ishugard... Nalujia is really an indispensable good girl for us.
Thinking of this, he ruffled Naluga's hair again.
And it was at this moment that they received an urgent communication from the Elf Ranger.
It seems that when Isgard successfully broke into the central region of the Roman Empire, the God of Light in St. Petersburg took action—
According to the rangers, a large number of skeleton angels have begun to advance towards the central area of the Roman Empire. It seems that the God of Light is going to directly intervene in this war
"But I always feel that this is more like an action to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit... right?"
Theresa muttered.
And for the God of Light, this war does mean more benefits.
Chapter 8 6/6: God of Light-8K
For the God of Light Constantine, the only idea that the current war in the Roman Empire gave him was that he could find a way to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more believers among the residents of the Roman Empire.
After all, the desperate people in the war urgently need a psychological support, even if the other side is a dirty and despicable tyrant, as long as they can get temporary psychological comfort, they will surrender their beliefs during this special period.
And it is obvious that the Church of Light can provide a lot of psychological comfort - Constantine is not unaware of what his actions at the time meant to the country, but the question is, does he need the long-term faith of the Romans now
When the true light escaped, the Church of Light was divided into two sects and a civil war broke out, and there were suspected demons in the Roman Empire...
The only hope of the God of Light for the Roman Empire during the war was for it to temporarily place its faith in him.
"After all, to upgrade from a God of Faith to a God of Concept... With my body that was once a mortal becoming a saint, I still need a lot of faith power."
"Even if I have accumulated the power of faith for nearly a thousand years, I can only barely fill the vessel needed to become a conceptual god to the brim... The last bit left can only be contributed slightly by the exhausted Romans."
The God of Light sat in his own heaven and murmured. In front of him were the "skeleton demon" corpses made up of countless underground human skeletons and demon skeletons.
This structure, which is a fusion of a large number of ancient warriors and demon skeletons, is invincible on the front battlefield.
After all, in the human world, it is too difficult to destroy a monster that has extremely high physical resistance and divine resistance.
Even a wizard couldn't cast enough magic to destroy the Skeleton Demons. If there was any flaw, it was that there were too few of them.
After Constantine created about fifty skeleton demons, the skeletons on the bottom floor of St. Petersburg had been used up. He could no longer create more skeleton demons and corpse angels.
But at this stage, leaving aside the "not very obedient" Protestantism and Saint Cecilia whose body is about to be taken away by him, the God of Light has no need to use force at all.
After Light escaped, the God of Light only knew roughly where He was. But the United Nations? It was just a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon. Even if he ignored the other party, the God of Light was confident that he could watch that country perish on its own.
Isgard and Khutot Khanate? No need. The God of Light doesn't care about the life and death of the Roman Empire.
At the moment when he was about to become a conceptual god, as long as he was upgraded and no longer relied on believers, the Roman Empire would perish. Naturally, Isgard and Hutot Khan would not become his enemies.
So... "Demon"
The God of Light looked down at the faint purple light emanating from the vaguely visible remains of the demon on the skeleton demon in front of him.
None of his business.
You have to know that after becoming a "Concept God", even if this world is invaded by demons, he has the ability to travel to other worlds and live happily—
It's nothing more than the homeland that once gave rise to the devil has become a breeding ground. What's there to worry about? No, right
Who cares if the old shabby house was demolished or burned? Of course, if it can be made better, then of course you have to stand up and claim ownership...
But now that the demons are destined to invade and occupy this world, why should I be so foolish as to maintain this broken place
not to mention-
"That is the responsibility of the Light. What does it have to do with me?"
The God of Light does not consider fighting against demons to be "his responsibility" at all.
He never considered the Roman Empire to be "his responsibility".
To him, everything is food - he may be very picky about food, but he will never let his pickyness about food affect his survival concept.
In this regard, the God of Light Constantine has never changed since thousands of years ago.
And he is still extremely satisfied with himself until now.
Now, the most important thing for the God of Light Constantine is to calculate the total amount of faith he can gain during this period of war.
According to the estimation of the God of Light himself, the faith of the Old Church is counted as one batch... Then the faith that the desperate believers in various parts of the Roman Empire can temporarily provide is counted as one batch...
The only one who can still provide faith is Saint Cecilia, whose body is about to be taken away by him.
He could forcibly extract Cecilia's faith and use it for his own benefit, but now was not the time.
"Just like dough needs to ferment before it can expand... Cecilia, my next body still needs some time to ferment."
"Considering that the Old Church's military action against the New Church is only a few days away, and considering the amazing magic power that came from the direction of the royal capital... let's set the date on May 23rd?"
The God of Light muttered to himself, preparing to seize Cecilia's faith and her body at the same time.
On the other hand, after learning about the movements of the God of Light, the top leaders of the United Nations immediately held a small meeting.
They asked the Eden people, who were best at secret reconnaissance, to remain highly vigilant against the angels of the God of Light and to observe them closely. Elena, who was well prepared for this, said that they had already done this evil a long time ago.
According to the observations of the Kingdom of Eden, the angels flying out of St. Petersburg moved in roughly three directions.
The ones closest to the west were flying towards the location of the Roman Empire's military zone. They sang hymns all the way, but were shot down by the ascetic nuns of the Protestant Church not long after they flew. Now they were in chaos with the Protestant Church - and it seemed that the possibility of the angels' failure was very high.
The angels in the center flew towards the capital of the Roman Empire. However, Elena didn't know what the angels could do, because the capital of the Roman Empire was in chaos, and even in the slums, there was a "tower" made of piles of broken bodies and lunatics...
There is not a single normal person in the entire capital except in the palace area. In this case, can these angels really achieve the goal of the God of Light
I don’t think so…
The one closest to the east, if nothing unexpected happens, is flying towards the mines in the east of the Roman Empire...
The eastern region is currently the most normal region in the Roman Empire. Under the leadership of the mine owners and nobles, the people in the mines are fighting tenaciously against the invading Alessians while also doing their best to avoid being affected by the "Doomsday Prophecy".
Should we say that they are worthy of being born in a wealthy region? The Eastern Region is the light of Roman, but unfortunately they not only have to face the Alessians, but also the invasion of the more technologically advanced Isgardians in the middle and late stages...
Elena judged that the eastern region should be the area most likely to be affected by the God of Light, simply because the probability of the first two places was 0%, and the 1% probability was also the best choice.
"Considering that even the Ascetic Sisters could intercept those weak angels, we can boldly conclude that these angels are not used in military operations."
Yang Hao said it firmly, and the noble queens and gods all nodded in agreement. Beside him, the dizzy Nalujia still didn't understand what was going on, and could only helplessly lie in Natalia's arms to take the place that originally belonged to little Anna.
"They may be trying to gain faith... After all, if a god of faith wants to be upgraded to a conceptual god, "faith" is essential."
This is how Lord Lalumia, the only one who has a full understanding of the gods, expressed his views.
"And if nothing unexpected happens, the God of Light may only need "temporary faith"... The problem is that he dares to send his own angels in and out of the diocese border, which in a sense also means that he has a substitute for the angels...
We don't know what's going on in St. Petersburg, but at least we can be sure that the God of Light has his own unique power... Little Elena, can your scouts enter St. Petersburg for observation?"
"Helpless: There seems to be a natural taboo deep in St. Petersburg... Our magic technology cannot penetrate it."
The small synthetic doll sat on a chair, its eyes fixed on the scene across the table, where Theresa and Fen each occupied one leg in Yang Hao's originally empty arms.
"Doubt: Our only possible observation of the interior of St. Petersburg is through direct human invasion... But the risk is too great. I can't gamble with the lives of the magic puppets."
The magic puppets can only upload their consciousness in areas covered by the magic network. In a sense, the Kingdom of Eden is a country that specializes in defensive operations.
With existing technical means of investigation completely ineffective, Elena would never gamble with the lives of her own people on a possibility.
The gentle god expressed his approval and snorted in a tone that was colder than anyone had ever seen:
"Taboo? Humph... Friendly reminder - in the divine power system that the God of Light snatched from me, there are very few divine arts involving "sealing"... Rather than being called a "taboo" divine art, it is more like a barrier that comes with heaven.
My original paradise is in St. Petersburg. Normally I would not block it from the surrounding areas...
But even so, the "manifestation" of heaven will spontaneously interfere with the local flow of magic power and make long-distance observation methods ineffective.
The "manifestation" of the Kingdom of Heaven is either used to accept the mortals we like and upgrade them to "demigods". Or it is used to achieve a certain purpose, such as "ascension".
But the God of Light obviously has no mortal who can be upgraded at this moment, and the only one who can be upgraded is himself.
In other words, the God of Light has revealed the Kingdom of Heaven... If nothing unexpected happens, he is already on the verge of ascending to the level of a Concept God... But this final push may be related to the final power of faith."
Watching Lalumia inadvertently walk behind Yang Hao, and then like a little girl holding a doll to vent her anger, she puffed up her face and gently put her arms around Yang Hao's neck, letting him rest his head on her lower chest and feel dazed -
Whether it was Elena or Natalia who had been stroking the head of the dizzy Naluga... there was an inexplicable look of fatigue in their eyes.
Why are gods always so shameless as to attack in front of everyone
They were whispering... And at this moment, Yang Hao, who was surrounded by three women, spoke thoughtfully:
"If the kingdom of heaven appears, can our army enter there with your help, Lalumia?"
His words startled everyone, but the little nun who knew Yang Hao best and the elf who had accompanied Yang Hao for many years suddenly realized and said together:
"Are you saying... the body of the God of Light is likely hidden in Heaven?"
"Well. After all, after so many days of research and Lalumia's explanation, I have come to understand the character of the God of Light...
Since he is a lunatic who will do anything to achieve a higher position and who values his own life the most...
Then his means of hiding his weakness are nothing more than two places: hiding in the most dangerous place, or keeping it in the safest place.
We have asked our allies to search like looking for a needle in a haystack, but all they can find at this stage is Cecilia, who we have poisoned.
In a sense, the only safe body of the God of Light in the outside world has been contaminated, but he must have considered this possibility...
If he had confirmed long ago that Cecilia would be his next substitute, he would definitely have placed his body "outside of reality" to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.
A simple analogy is like a man's small treasury, a little hidden in his boots, a little hidden in his books, a little in his wallet -
The God of Light can only go to two places: "reality" and "heaven". Naturally, his real body is probably located inside heaven..."
Yang Hao's statement makes sense.
What kind of person is Constantine, the God of Light
A person who has three burrows in order to gain status.
Is it really possible for a man like this to put all his eggs in one basket
Just like the poor married men on Earth always have to find ways to save their own little treasury in many places, the God of Light will naturally give more consideration when dealing with the big matter of his own "weaknesses".
Cecilia is his next body, and is located in the real parish.
Then naturally, the original body of the God of Light must be hidden in the safest "Heaven".
In this way, even if Cecilia's body was destroyed, he still had his original body to use - conversely, if Tianguo's body was destroyed, he still had a body in reality to replace it...
In a sense, the God of Light is not a character who will die if one of his bodies is killed.
He is a cunning bastard, and because of this... Yang Hao decided to do two things at once. On the one hand, they would use the "poison" in Cecilia's body to trap the God of Light, and on the other hand, they would take advantage of the God of Light's rage and weakness to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and destroy his real body.
"In this way, we should be able to completely kill the God of Light and return the power to Lalumia... But there are still risks...
The biggest risk is that we cannot guarantee that the God of Light will become furious and leave his kingdom of heaven after absorbing Cecilia's faith."
This is indeed a big thing that no one can guarantee - take reality for example, you never know whether an honest person will continue to endure to the end or will have a wonderful outburst.
Either it will perish in forbearance, or it will explode in forbearance - Yang Hao was somewhat suspicious that based on the character of the God of Light, the other party would be more likely to "escape"... But when he thought about the importance of "Heaven" to the gods, he relaxed again.
When the God of Light escapes, he will not take the "Kingdom of Heaven" with him - and according to Lalumia, the current Kingdom of Heaven is something that depends on the existence of St. Petersburg... At least even if the God of Light wants to run, he can't run far.
They can continue to make more plans to fight this abomination.
…
After the meeting, the United Nations continued to carry out its own development at its own pace.
Naruga's "mold" needs time and actual operation to verify, her flying golems also need to find a cheaper and faster way to improve production, and more importantly, the soldiers also need to be trained in flying golems. All of this takes time, but fortunately the United Nations has a stable period of time to develop.
On the other hand, the domestic network system that Japaria is building has also gradually advanced towards Bayerjans.
