Chapter 1185: Divine Sacrifice
But Zong Shen was more concerned about the arrival of the projection of the Raven God of Disaster.
What on earth did that superior god want to convey to him?
From the previous insights, it is not difficult to see that the Raven God of Disaster has peeked into some tricks on the edge of the rules.
This made Him change his mind and decide to contact Him.
So what is the reason that makes a god become interested in him?
This is what makes Zong Shen most curious.
In other words, he was focused on what the Raven God of Disaster saw at the border of the rules.
This is also the real focus next!
And after this incident, Zong Shen changed his view on gods.
In fact, the gods' thoughts may not be as complicated as he thought.
Compared with the sentient beings in the endless continent, the gods are existences in another latitude.
It's like a higher dimension overlooking a lower dimension.
Their appeal to the main material world like the Endless Continent is the power of faith.
In addition, there are many restrictions for gods to interfere with the main material world.
Even without the cover of the lord system, it is difficult for gods to truly enter the lower world.
The difficulty is comparable to the collapse of high dimensions into low dimensions.
This is a kind of self-protection of the world's will, and it is also a natural isolation barrier.
Leaving aside the level of power, just talking about the essence of gods seems to be the embodiment of the ultimate mastery of certain world rules, and can be understood as the source of certain rules.
In other words, the combat power of the gods cannot be roughly measured by the standards of the Endless Continent.
The so-called legends, epics, and legends cannot describe the power of God.
Maybe the demigod level can barely do it, but at most it can only touch the surface.
For gods who master the power of rules, they naturally have the ability to suppress most forces in the main material world, and the point of all this is-
——Divine power!
No matter whether it is weak divine power, weak divine power, medium divine power, strong divine power, or divine divine power, it cannot be resisted by the power in the main material world.
That seemed like a whole new territory.
In addition, the extreme application of rules and the suppression of personality are also important manifestations of the power of gods.
Thoughts about the gods fascinated him.
It was like seeing a corner of a new world in the vast night sky.
"call!"
After taking a long breath, Zong Shen shook off the blood on his sword.
Xiao Heizi standing next to him also saw this scene and was stunned.
"This...is so big!"
"This must be a powerful ancestral true dragon!"
Xiao Heizi's face was full of shock, and he almost worshiped him on the spot.
This is derived from the ancestral worship in the bones of the true dragon.
In fact, the concept of ancestral true dragon is still relatively broad.
It broadly refers to the first dragon of each material plane.
They come from the star realm, have the most powerful true dragon bloodline, and are basically the biological descendants of dragon gods.
He was born with weak divine power, and he had the strength of a semi-god from the beginning.
The ancestral dragons reproduced and produced offspring after mating.
After a long period of changes, it became a stable branch of the dragon vein.
In fact, whether it is a five-color dragon, a metal dragon, or other types of real dragons.
If we trace it back to its origin, it all ends up in the Nine-Headed Dragon God.
So when Xiao Heizi saw the dragon skeleton, he couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, strictly speaking, that can be regarded as its ancestor.
Without responding to Xiao Heizi's shock, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and his expression became extremely serious.
Because he knows very well that what comes next is the real highlight!
…
"Come down! Come down!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Millions of followers of the Calamity Raven Church cheered.
The church elders stood in front, watching the dragon bones slowly fall.
The soldiers of the Apostles had already cleared a large open space below.
Houses that were already swaying during the shock became particularly vulnerable to demolition.
They just received the keel in such a grand manner.
When the heavy bones fell to the ground, the cheers reached a climax.
Followed closely by various large-scale equipment and supplies, this means that the church has made it clear that it will openly attack the giant city of Lentax.
At this time, the giant city garrison was in a rather awkward situation.
Although Marquis Henry only took away 60,000 to 70,000 confidants cultivated by the family.
But the remaining garrison was still in a dilemma.
Because most of the mid-level and high-level officers are also in the arena.
This resulted in the lack of clear operational instructions for the garrison outside, and the low-level officers alone were unable to shoulder this important task.
At the very least, it is difficult to react in a short period of time.
Because this involves the issue of reintegration of command power.
Therefore, the current garrison can only form around the thirteen node areas and form a group as much as possible.
The Griffins and Dragon Eagle Knights also took off one after another, hovering vigilantly near the portal.
The Dragonborn Knights were even more prepared and divided into multiple combat squadrons, each guarding different streets.
Even more than one-third of the garrison is moving towards the first and second circles.
Large magic energy shields in different circles were raised one after another, forming new isolation areas.
This time the situation is more embarrassing, the enemy does not come from the outside world.
Instead, a portal was opened directly in the third circle.
Moreover, the coverage area of this portal is extremely large, basically covering most of the city in the third circle.
The intensity and efficiency of investment are also unprecedented.
This allows the apostles of the Calamity Raven Church to quickly establish a foothold.
Coupled with the strange enchantment that comes with the evil church ceremony, the garrison was even more caught off guard.
They could only watch helplessly as the apostle group quickly gathered and received war supplies at the same time.
…
Within the main node, Bishop Byron suddenly opened his closed eyes.
In the past ten minutes, he looked more than ten years older.
This is also one of the costs of sacrificial rituals.
As the bones of the ancient ancient dragon fall to the ground, you can receive the projection of God at any time!
I saw a fanatical look on his face, as if he had become a different person.
There is one final step left.
I saw Archbishop Byron throwing the string of beads in his hand into the ritual circle.
Then there was a weird happy smile on the back, and he shouted loudly.
"To honor God!"
"Please follow me and commit suicide!"
"We will all become part of God and welcome God's coming in person!"
His voice spread to every node in an instant.
The tone was both fanatical and pious.
As soon as he finished speaking, Archbishop Byron pulled out a silver-white short knife.
He held the handle of the knife with both hands and inserted it into his chest without mercy.
The location is very precise, exactly where the heart is.
That's not all. After inserting the short knife, Archbishop Byron also twisted the handle of the knife and then decisively pulled it out.
During this period, he did not show any pain, and all he could see on his face was satisfaction.
Yes, it is contentment.
It looks extremely weird to tailor oneself with such an expression.
This is fanatical belief that is twisted to the extreme.
This is also the reason why the major kingdoms and forces in the Endless Continent regard the Church as a scourge.
If the church is allowed to spread its faith wantonly, the number of fanatical believers will increase sharply as the number of believers increases.
All the spiritual sustenance of these fanatical believers will be placed on the gods.
They are willing to give up their bodies, souls, and everything for the sake of gods.
In the end, they will become so crazy that they defy human nature and do all kinds of crazy things.
Because for these fanatical believers, they don't have to follow the rules that mortals care about.
"Pfft!"
Warm blood spurted out from the knife edge.
It fell on the ritual circle that was already stained with blood.
Death is undoubtedly evil to ordinary people.
But its essence also represents returning to nature.
All living things will die, and flesh and blood will become the nourishment of the earth.
The bones slowly deposited and eventually turned into fossils, and everything returned to the world.
This power of returning to nature can be felt and transformed by the gods.
Archbishop Byron committed suicide without hesitation.
With him were more than a dozen church elders.
With a smile on his face, he leaned stiffly on the ground, and his eyes seemed to be shining with inexplicable brilliance.
It's just that this brilliance is fleeting and disappears soon.
Also disappearing was Archbishop Byron's entire vitality.
Their flesh and blood souls have more energy, like accelerants poured into a fire.
All the ritual nodes shine brightly, and every light beam becomes brighter and stronger!
"Buzz!"
The buzzer sounded again, this time as if even the void was trembling.
Countless light particles came from nowhere and converged into the ancient dragon's bones.
The power of the frost is being released, and a radius of hundreds of meters around the bones is beginning to be frozen.
What was then released was the power of disaster.
It sweeps around with evil forces such as accidents, illnesses, luck, etc.
The church deacons who had no time to escape fell to the ground and twitched with livid faces, wailing in pain.
Frost is an elemental force, while disaster is more evil.
It favors the curse system and has the power to interfere with destiny.
White and purple light particles emerged from the field, and then quickly disappeared into the ancestral dragon skeleton.
With the giant city of Lentax as the midpoint, changes occurred in an area of nearly a thousand kilometers.
The sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the noisy thunder was hidden in the clouds.
"Boom!"
Restless thunder and lightning roared on the clouds.
It seems to be a protest against the arrival of power that does not belong to this world.
From time to time, thunder and lightning would fall to the ground, and violent arcs would ignite farmland and pastures.
The sky turned dark almost instantly.
The ancestral dragon skeleton in the city slowly floated into the sky after absorbing the light particles.
It hangs high in the air about a hundred meters above the ground, becoming more and more solid under the infusion of power.
This large-scale projection of God involves a wide range of things, and the preparation time required is naturally not something that can be solved in a short time.
But the anomalies are getting worse as time goes by.
Taking the area where the keel is located as the boundary, the surrounding temperature is slowly decreasing.
The fear of disaster is inexplicably shrouded in everyone's heart.
It seemed as if something unfortunate was happening together.
After Archbishop Byron committed suicide, the two red-robed bishops took on important responsibilities.
They directed believers and believers to carry supplies.
At the same time, we will conduct more detailed war deployments for the Jackdaw Apostles, Disaster Apostles, Giant Power Apostles and the Fanatic Army, and officially launch an offensive on surrounding streets and cities!
Caught off guard, the large-scale magic energy generating device in the third circle had no time to activate.
After all, the Calamity Raven Church "airborne" directly into the city.
Second, the first circle reacted in time and opened the large area shield.
Therefore, the church is preparing to occupy the almost undefended third circle first.
When this step is completed, the projection of the gods will also come to this world.
…
In the arena, Marquis Henry told Penny the situation in the outside world in a hurried tone.
"It's the Calamity Raven Church!"
"Damn Carter Pendragon!"
"That's the abandoned son of him and Archduke Jonathan!"
Affected by the [Mark of the Rose], Marquis Henry appears to be dull and biased in many decision-making aspects.
But he still knew the situation in the city well.
He has also been paying attention to the Calamity Raven Church for a long time.
Especially before, the church’s activities in the city were even more frequent.
On the contrary, during the period of Prince Carter's arrival, the church's actions became much more subtle and low-key.
To be honest, no one would have thought that the Calamity Raven Church would put all their efforts into it.
In the eyes of most people, this second- and third-rate church does not have much sense of existence.
At best, they can sacrifice a village and plunder some heavy transport teams sent by huge cities.
What they do is similar to that of bandits.
The church's territory is in the Jackdaw Valley, and the Kingdom of Avalon is just the place where they come to fight the autumn wind.
Originally having suffered a defeat here, the most logical action for the church would have been to retreat to Jackdaw Valley to rest and recuperate.
It's definitely not worthwhile to fight to the death.
But this extremely unlikely thing happened just like that.
The secret behind it is unknown.
But what makes the church work so hard must have motives that others cannot understand.
Upon hearing her father's words, Penny Lancaster, who was wearing a hunting suit, had no expression on her face.
Her temperament at this time was completely different from usual.
His expression was cold and indifferent, like a frosty rose.
"Church of Calamity Raven..."
"Do they really want this city?"
Penny asked softly.
Things turned out unexpectedly.
The dispute itself changed from the Lancastrian family, Princess Anna and Archduke Jonathan to a heretic invasion.
The most important thing is that Penny's demands are not consistent with everyone else's.
She has her own ideas.
The man behind the scenes who is vaguely controlling the direction has not yet surfaced.
So far, Penny only knew that the guys who had pretended to be the Sorensen brothers were related to the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just like when the arena was activated just now, Bridger Sorenson suddenly turned into a black dragon.
"Father, open the shield of the arena."
"Mobilize the garrison to garrison the defense lines and battle forts in the second and first circles."
"At the same time, a request for help was sent to all cities in the kingdom to clarify the situation of the church's invasion."
"In addition, I also need you to contact Grand Duke Jonathan and Grand Duke Chloé respectively."
"As for Prince Carter..."
"Soon, I will be able to control him firmly!"
…
