The God of Thunder and War had already felt Ankara's death as soon as he stepped into this area.
What really surprised him was that the one who killed Ankara was not the great god from another great plane as they expected, but an outer god whose strength was almost the same as Ankara, only of a medium level. He killed the God of Lies whose true identity was exposed only by using tricks.
"In other words, not only is Ankara dead and the Moon Realm destroyed, but we have also lost the coordinates to enter that large plane?" The God of Thunder and War was extremely annoyed. Without exact coordinates, wanting to find a completely unknown plane was nothing short of a fantasy.
"That may not be the case..."
A ray of light appeared in the void, and it was the God of Life and Creation who spoke. He did not wait for Harier to question or accuse him, and spoke again. "Great God, I have brought the key to that large plane!"
As he spoke, the God of Life and Creation spread out his hands. Bright moonlight bloomed in his palms, and Ella's figure soon appeared inside.
This was not Ella's real body, but an incarnation. In order to avoid her own misjudgment in the power room, Ella had made preparations from the beginning. When throwing the Moonlight Spear, she also projected out part of her power.
"It was you who killed Diana, the goddess of the moon, and took away her power?" The God of Thunder and War looked at Ella, who was only the size of his palm, and spoke mockingly. The powerful force of thunder continued to surge around him, and the terrifying oppressive force caused the full moon behind Ella to begin to tremble unsteadily.
Even facing a great god who was much more powerful than herself, Ella still had no intention of backing down. She explained calmly with a sharp gaze, "I didn't kill Diana, the moon god. I just got her relics and gifts. The wizard who killed her is our common enemy..."
"The Wizard Council holds extremely powerful forces and is far more difficult to deal with than you expect!"
"I think you should have seen this time those huge alchemical creations that can move at super high speeds and fire terrifying energy cannons. According to my understanding, they have hundreds of these creations called spaceships!"
Ella continued to exaggerate the power and invincibility of the parliament to increase the value of her existence, and then said decisively, "The power of those wizards should not be underestimated. Without my help, you would never be able to enter and occupy that world..."
"I smell lies, Moon Goddess..." Harriet interrupted Ella's words directly. His cold tone echoed in the void. The next moment, a strong arc of electricity suddenly struck the slightly illusory projection of the full moon.
The spreading lightning quickly enveloped Ella, and it was a pain and numbness that penetrated deep into her soul.
"No matter what, we all have a common enemy, and cooperation is the best outcome!"
The God of Thunder and War couldn't help but laugh. How could a mere Outer God of weaker power, who had just tried to deceive him, be qualified to discuss cooperation with them?
"No need, I have a better plan!" The God of Thunder and War stretched out his hand and grasped the full moon that was the incarnation of Ella in his palm.
This incarnation contained Ella's soul, and was connected to the other party's original body in a subtle way that transcended time and space. If a god was used as energy, it would be enough to open a space-time channel large enough to accommodate the passage of a powerful god...
……
The vast universe, the unknown galaxy, Vittorio and others who successfully escaped back to the moon all breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just now was very urgent, and they almost thought that they would stay in the endless void over there forever.
When the severely damaged spacecraft slowly landed in the lunar base and no more enemies rushed out, everyone finally relaxed their worries and looked up at the huge and blue Eternal Star in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of life...
They actually all survived, with not one missing a single one of the ten spaceships. This was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.
"In this way, the threat from the main world has been eliminated, right? Without the coordinates, they will not be able to find here in a short time!" Raphael said in a relaxed tone as he walked out of the spaceship.
You know, there is a seven-fold difference in the speed of time flow between the two worlds. In any case, they don't need to worry about the gods from the main world coming to kill them for a long time.
Raphael felt a headache just thinking about the alien fleets that were gradually approaching the Eternal Star. This time in the confrontation with the gods of the main world, not only did they not gain much advantage, but they lost a lot of manpower and even the main ship suffered serious damage.
"No, it's not that easy. I don't think it will be long before they actually step into this world." Lynn retorted.
“But, since you have already blown up the foreign land, these gods should not be able to get the coordinates of the Eternal Star…” Vittorio couldn’t help but frowned.
"They do not have the coordinates of this planet of life, but there may be other ways to locate it..." Having said that, Lin En turned his head and looked in the direction of the main ship's power room.
When he was fighting with the Moon God before, he noticed the other party's little movements, but he ignored them.
Or maybe, this was the result of his deliberate indulgence!
Before, Lin En temporarily let go of Ella's believers in the Eternal Star, allowing the other party to accumulate some strength, so that Ella could reveal some information at the right time.
However, the main world's action this time really caught him off guard. One of the main gods personally took action and almost crushed the entire plane. The remaining power even caused three gods to descend into the foreign land at the same time.
Fortunately, his goal was achieved in the end and the situation was not completely out of control.
"Do you want to guide the gods of the main world to go to war with those alien civilizations?" Harof immediately understood what Lin En meant and was shocked.
This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move, but if it succeeds, the rewards will be enormous!
Whether it is the main world that claims to have hundreds of gods, or the alien civilization that had the ability to kill gods thousands of years ago, they are far beyond what they can deal with now.
Lin En nodded. It was obviously not a wise move to confront an enemy whose strength far exceeded his own head-on. He was even more afraid of the Lord God, so he might as well find a way to take advantage of the intelligence gap and reap the benefits.
"Will this really work?" Aurora said with great concern. She doubted whether the alien fleets were really capable of resisting the power of the gods of the main world.
"That depends on whether Ella cooperates enough..." Lin En said with a smile. Regardless of whether she cooperates or not, Ella will always reveal some information about them.
Especially for the spaceship, as long as the gods of the main world recognize this peculiar "alchemical creation" as their symbol, the probability of the plan's success is still very high!
The only thing they need to worry about is that one side is much stronger than the other and can easily kill the other side. However, this possibility is not high. If there is such a big gap, then their resistance will be meaningless.
Chapter 600: The Magical Use of Simulated Divine Power and the Priesthood of Lies
In the autumn, at the Eternal Star, in the magic academy of the royal capital, Johnny, who had become a teacher, was holding a book and looking up at the blue sky.
Under the beautiful sunset, it is an extremely spectacular scene!
A huge silver chain was circulating above the sky, as if it was going to split the entire sky in two. Under the influence of [Farsight], Johnny could clearly see the giant screen filled with mechanical beauty and the rune magic constantly flowing on it.
The construction of this huge planet-ringing structure began three years ago and is now basically completed. As to its function, there are different opinions within the parliament.
Some wizards believe that these ring-shaped creations are residences built by the magic star for itself, palaces standing above the sky, so as to demonstrate its uniqueness and greatness!
But this statement is obviously untenable, because as this thing was gradually built, no matter from which angle you looked at it, it didn't look like a place to live.
Therefore, many alchemists began to speculate that the Speakers were planning to build a huge electromagnetic orbit around the world, and the excess electricity would fly down from the sky!
Johnny didn't quite understand the reason because she had already left the core of the school.
Although she had reached the limit of a three-ring wizard at the age of twenty, and could be promoted to a great wizard immediately as long as she got a spot to call upon the magic network, which was obviously excellent enough, the situation was no longer the same now.
Great wizards who were rarely seen in the past and could serve as the high-end combat force of a kingdom have emerged in large numbers like carrots. Now, there are more than a thousand people who have successfully broken through to become a great wizard.
Those newly promoted great wizards may not even be selected as members of parliament and have to go through numerous rounds of selection.
Johnny knew very well that although he had good talent, it was by no means top-notch. Compared to a magic star who had risen from an apprentice to a transcendental god, he was not worth mentioning at all and it was difficult for him to provide much help.
However, in today's Magic Kingdom, everyone can shine if they are willing, so Johnny chose the education industry and passed on new and interesting knowledge, which is also what she enjoys doing most.
A faint smile appeared on Johnny's lips, and suddenly, a hand gently patted her shoulder.
The witch shuddered immediately, secretly regretting that she had lowered her vigilance. She turned her head sharply and found that the person who did it was her good friend Debra.
"Johnny, did you see the movie a few days ago? That Dave is so smart that he was able to sneak away with twenty apprentices from under the nose of a cardinal and even made the local city lord question his belief in the false god..." Debra chattered about the plot in the movie with excitement on her face. It was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling plot.
Because she grew up in a wizarding land, Debra knew little about the kingdom's past history, and was not too interested in the disputes between wizards and the church. But after watching the movie this time, she was shocked to realize how bad these people were.
Not only did those priests enslave the poor together with the nobles, they even fabricated the so-called heaven. In reality, they turned the souls of believers into nutrients to feed that god!
So when watching the movie, Debra was filled with righteous indignation. She wanted to rush in and cast magic to fight alongside Dave. Only when Dave successfully avenged his fiancée in the end did she breathe a sigh of relief.
I am even more looking forward to the sequel because I heard that the next movie will contain stories about the magic star!
But there are still several months before the reaction to the next movie, and Debra can't wait any longer. So Johnny, the only person who might know all this, becomes the person she asks!
Johnny sighed helplessly. Since last night, many people had asked her the same question, but the fact was that she really knew nothing. She had no choice but to repeat the statement she had agreed with Lin En.
She had told this made-up story nearly a thousand times, and she even began to doubt whether it was true. Now, no one would believe that the famous Magic Star was just a wizard apprentice who had studied magic for half a year when she was still in the empire.
I even taught him...
Johnny's thoughts drifted farther and farther, thinking of the days when he fled in the empire, and also of the dead Kent, Buck, White Dove... and their teacher Kelu.
After the parliament launched a counterattack against the empire, Johnny had tried to find out about his teacher, but the information he got was that after being escorted to the holy city, Kelu was burned to death on the stake in front of all the believers...
A little sadness surrounded Johnny's heart, but it was soon dispelled, because the dark rule of the church had completely ended, and no one would be sent to the stake for studying knowledge...
While Johnny and Debra were recounting their past deeds, [The Legend of Dave 2: The Secret of the Moon Goddess] was also spreading throughout the kingdom at full speed, and the actor who played the protagonist suddenly became the most sought-after figure in the entire magic kingdom.
The plot of the movie caused an uproar among ordinary people.
Because while the plot is wonderful and exciting, it also reveals the essence of faith and exposes the fact that the so-called heaven of the Moon God is actually a complete scam!
After the death of all the poor people who believed in the Moon God, their souls would be stored up as food for the promotion of false gods...
With the first movie as a prelude, Dave's experience resonated with everyone, and the second movie was surprisingly effective in revealing the truth. Most ordinary people have limited education and don't understand high-end things like acting.
In their opinion, this was the real plot happening right in front of them, showing the sinister faces of the priests and bishops vividly. Coupled with the soul sacrifice ceremony which looked terrifying, it undoubtedly caused panic among a large number of poor people in the kingdom!
Some of the residents who still kept the habit of praying in private returned home in fear and smashed the moon statues they had secretly worshipped, and even cried and begged the wizards to save their souls.
The wizards of the parliament had already prepared the secret medicine for baptism!
Of course, these secret medicines are not so powerful that they can make people forget their faith directly. In fact, there is no need for these shallow believers to receive psychological treatment.
The secret medicine has only two effects: it is beneficial to physical health and makes people feel energetic, but before that they will experience extremely intense pain.
This is both a small benefit and a punishment. After all, only by experiencing pain can one learn a lesson.
Anti-faith has become the mainstream of the kingdom today. On the one hand, it is aimed at the remnants of the church, and on the other hand, it is to prevent wizards with ulterior motives from replicating Ella's method of becoming a god through faith.
This is not an unfounded fantasy. Over the past few years, the Parliament has arrested many wizards who tried to reverse history. Some of them wanted to improve their strength and break through the realm because of their lack of talent, while others wanted to become gods.
However, as the parliament's control over the kingdom grows stronger and the magic network becomes more popular, the number of wizards who choose to take risks has decreased a lot.
As "The Legend of Dave II" became popular in the kingdom, the parliament also issued an order to arrest the followers of the Moon God.
Due to the prior planning, this was actually a roundup operation to clean out all the remnants of the church and aristocracy who were lurking inside the kingdom and attempting to cause trouble.
Tiral and his group, who were feeling angry and terrified over the broadcast of "The Biography of Dave," were arrested before they could even hold a meeting to discuss their next plan. The musket workshop that they had just built with great effort was also directly nationalized.
They were not the most unlucky group. A member of the Moon Worship Organization in the Kingdom was horrified to find out that 20 out of 30 people in the organization were undercover agents, including the founder, when he was arrested. The whole organization was just a phishing organization...
The summary report of the believers was quickly handed over to Lin En.
"A total of 316,340 people?" Lin En flicked the booklet filled with names and identities, and all the information appeared in his mind.
This number is a little higher than imagined. You have to know that those who are included in the list are either unrepentant devout believers or traitors who are doing things in secret.
You know, in the battle with the church, Ella sacrificed all the devout believers, and now there are still so many.
After pondering for a moment, Lin En realized that their earth-shaking transformation plan for this continent had infringed the interests of too many people. These people were unable to resist the parliament on their own. Reviving the Moon God became their only hope to regain their previous rights, and their faith would naturally become stronger.
"Mr. Speaker, how should we deal with these people?" The wizard in charge of reporting asked cautiously.
“Keep them locked up for now. I need them for some use.” Lin En waved his hand but did not reveal anything.
Previously, he kept this group of believers inside the kingdom in order to make Ella's escape more natural, to attract the gods of the main world to launch an attack at the right time, and to help them resist the threats from the universe.
As for now it has a new use, because when he was in a foreign land, Lin En designed to kill a god and seized the other's priesthood, whose name was Lie. He has only experimented with the effect of disguise for the time being, and by using the laws he can even imitate the power of other gods!
If used well, this would undoubtedly be a powerful killer weapon, and Lin En was planning to use it on Ella's believers.
However, how to use the connection between faith and gods to further strengthen one's ability to control the situation is an issue that needs to be studied carefully.
