Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 342 God’s Shadow
"But what to do under the Arc de Triomphe? If evil pollution really breaks out there, people in the entire urban area will be threatened."

Amanda couldn't let go of those ordinary people. If it were a war between humans and they surrendered before Paris was occupied, perhaps there wouldn't be too many casualties.

But no matter what monsters are born from the pollution, even if they look exactly like humans, those monsters are definitely not satisfied with ruling humans, they will only destroy humans.

Louis' eyes were serious, "Leave it to us. Let the Giant of Light do everything. Wouldn't it make us useless? In fact, before you appeared, our combat team had to risk our lives. Preventing pollution incidents and various disasters from happening. This is our duty, so don’t worry.”

"Omega, do you know what is under the Arc de Triomphe?"

Amanda can only look for help from Omega, and it would be great if the problem combat troops there can be solved.

Omega replied: "I don't know yet, we are too far away from Paris now. Moreover, when I investigated in Paris before, I didn't find anything unusual under the Arc de Triomphe. The Bastille can be considered as the branches of the World Tree Influence, but there is no shelter under the Arc de Triomphe. I think I can agree with Louis’s idea that this is a bait, a bait aimed at you.”

"But we can't do nothing." Amanda calmed down, and the report documenting the anomalies under the Arc de Triomphe was taken away by him.

At the same time, combat troops began to assemble.

Because there is no port in Paris, all combatants can only take vehicles to the city.

They also had to first confirm what was under the Arc de Triomphe.

Nuoda's combat base entered a state of emergency. Everyone walking inside seemed to have been wound up, tense mentally and physically.

Amanda was protected by special guards at the heart of the operational base.

At least, Louis can guarantee that no one inside the combat base will be eroded, and all combat team members will be tested regularly. As long as Amanda does not leave here, they will be safe.

As for whether it is a bait under the Arc de Triomphe, let them deal with it.

Amanda read the documents. Unlike the pollution under the Bastille, which came from the branches of the World Tree brought by the invasion of the Nordics, the pollution under the Arc de Triomphe was determined to be the accumulation of corpses of the dead who died due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. Exploited by cultists.

When cultists were flourishing, including the witch-hunting movements before and after the Middle Ages, those evil believers used mass graves and large cemeteries across Europe as places for flesh and blood sacrifices. However, many of them only completed early preparations and were returned by the secular world. There is a Church Templar fight.

Among them, in the largest cemetery in Paris under the Arc de Triomphe, preliminary preparations have been completed, and even the required spells and formations have been set up.

But the target god was converted in advance, and the church was going on a killing spree at that time, driving out almost all the gods that were different from their beliefs.

Even many heretics who could not be called cultists were sent to the stake.

This has also led to the fact that in current European culture, creatures such as elves, goblins, and halflings have become the material of fantasy literature, rather than the real descendants of gods.

Over time, this place was forgotten.

After the Arc de Triomphe was built, no one knew what else was underneath.

The previous secretary also neglected this place when he was in office and hastily judged it to be a safe place.

Now during the review process, the data provided by the Paris Academy branch shows that those underground sacrificial rituals have not weakened for a long time, and the power of sacrificial rituals accumulated for hundreds of years is likely to be used by those converted gods in Europe. of fragments come to feed.

Perhaps one day, those gods who long for resurrection will come to fight for the last piece of flesh and blood. Even if they are destined to die, they will still exist for a while.

A similar situation occurs in the pyramid tombs in Egypt. The gods there, including the secular ruler Pharaoh, have made considerable preparations for death. Even the mortals have blind mummy worship, but the black cat It is said that most of the gods there were picked up by Naia, so it is not a big problem.

"That is to say, because the sacrifices were completed there, but for some reason, no gods received them, so there was no sign of pollution for a long time. But after being opened, those completed sacrifices have died or been returned When the righteous gods come to eat, those guys will inevitably start to act as demons. Compared with it, it may evolve into a group of tombs of walking dead, but it is not a serious problem."

Amanda murmured to herself what he had speculated.

But what on earth were those gods doing when the sacrifices were completed?

Why is it that now that everyone is dead, there is another chance to retrieve their sacrifices.

Omega said: "Don't worry about this, Amanda. In many myths, there are explanations for the arrival of a new era after the end of the world. Perhaps those gods must die once to ensure that they will be resurrected when they return. But they have reached the rule of man. Human beings in this era will not accept the return of the gods. Moreover, on the scale of the universe, the so-called gods are just a manifestation of the laws of all things, and there is no need to be in awe of them."

Amanda nodded, and said: "I understand. I'm just wondering whether the world's reformation can be successfully completed. The predecessors of the church and the academy basically killed most of the gods of major civilizations around the year A.D., along with human beings. Civilization has entered the feudal era. But the more I search now, the more I discover that the shadows of the dead gods still hang over human beings. These earth gods are so lingering, let alone those who are dominated by the old days. That’s it.”

The combat team has already set off, and the complete convoy has driven out of the base.

Now, only the logistics personnel and the special guards who protect Amanda are left in the base.

Louis has sent an application to the headquarters in America, and a black ship team of three will be dispatched.

There was time enough for them to find the purpose of the division of the Academy in Paris, and it would be a great disaster if all Paris, nay, all the Academy of Europe were corrupted.

The port base gate is closing, and the last logistics vehicle drives in and passes all inspections.

These logistics vehicles are used to assist large combat machinery out of the warehouse, and will not participate in the battlefield.

Harlan skillfully controlled the vehicle and followed the convoy into the warehouse.

Even Omega did not notice His arrival.

While the two were thinking about the question of gods, a real god Kyriarod came quietly.

The so-called trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain is very practical no matter how simple it is.

Harun thought this way. Under the cover of the clothes, the heart of the god was beating fiercely, and a sequence rune was engraved on it. Its name was: sequence silence, effect, prohibiting the activation of all sequences.

The source of this rune was naturally provided by Ptolemy, the prophet of the academy.
