arcane emperor

The evil god's clone did not take action, and the Gulf Lord's previous battle record was enough to explain many problems.

Once they are discovered, Yaya and Matthew, who are decisive in taking action, might swoop down from the sky.

If it were in the past, the consumption of just one clone would only take several months to recover easily.

If some information could be obtained through the clone, it would be very worthwhile in the eyes of many gods in the past.

But the situation is different now.

Because they have not appeared in the world and performed miracles for a long time, the church they control and lead has been "suppressed" by the rulers of the developed kingdoms, various forces and organizations.

Although these things were not made public, they were indeed what happened.

This has also led to a significant decline in the "quality" of the gods' believers.

From another perspective, the development of civilization and the progress of social systems will bring various challenges to people's beliefs.

As the number of intelligent creatures increased, the total number of believers of the gods not only did not decrease, but instead increased.

However, these believers are no longer as "ignorant" and "blind" as before, and the quality of their prayers has declined dramatically.

If it were in the past, they would have already used various means and held various rituals or sacrifices to restore their divine power.

However, this method does not work on the material plane.

Defeating the Goblin Empire and bringing down the Eastern Empire has exhausted all their strength.

Many gods have died, and it is still unknown whether they can be reborn or awakened in the future.

Under such circumstances, they encountered resistance and suppression from the material plane.

In order to avoid a desperate situation, they decided to use a gentler way to infiltrate and exert influence, and naturally they would not get involved personally.

Therefore, they founded the church, preparing to use this very skilled means, borrowing this tool that has been successful countless times, to increase the number of believers and accelerate the recovery of divine power.

However, this process is quite difficult.

It is not known whether it is because the consciousness of the material plane has awakened, or because the major kingdoms and organizations have developed rapidly because of the demise of the Goblin Empire.

The strength of secular kingdoms and organizations has been greatly improved in a very short period of time.

In front of them who had control over power and resources, the major churches with gods as their backers did seize the opportunity and developed rapidly.

However, as miracles appeared less and less frequently, the intervals between the gods exerting their power became longer and longer, and the church grew, taking away a considerable amount of benefits.

The conflict between the major churches and local forces broke out in just two or three decades.

The major kingdoms and organizations that once received support from the gods and have gradually been able to confront the forces of the Goblin Empire's branches will naturally not allow their interests to be snatched away.

As a result, a battle between the two sides was inevitable.

The struggle for interests and the desire for power have made many kingdoms and forces dare to take action against the church.

There is no way. The church asks for too much and gives too little, and there is a great possibility that it has lost the support from the backend.

In this case, no secular kingdom or organization would tolerate the existence of an aggressive and greedy church.

The war between the two sides was extremely brutal and lasted for hundreds of years.

Several powerful kingdoms fell and many organizations were destroyed.

However, they, who had a more complete talent cultivation and social system, still won the victory after paying a heavy price in casualties.

After all, what war competes for is still talent and resources, which account for a considerable proportion!

The surviving kingdoms and organizations can be traced back to many kingdoms in the northern continent today, and several kingdoms even continue to this day.

As the losing party, many churches are in a miserable situation.

Although they did not dare to kill them all due to the existence of gods, it was natural to restrict their development and expansion.

In order to ensure that even if the gods returned, they would not cause trouble for them, the ruling class at that time also came up with a very interesting idea.

"You are believers of the gods, and we can be believers too!"

"It's just that we don't have to listen to you."

"Everyone is a believer, and you are only a minority. Who will the gods pay attention to when you return?"

This method is quite interesting. Allowing everyone to find their own beliefs is undoubtedly a good way to solve future problems.

If the gods appeared in the world, or many gods had just arrived in the material plane, they would definitely be very happy.

They can respond at any time, demonstrate miracles and power, and naturally can quickly transform these shallow believers into loyal believers.

Their basic purpose is just this!

If they had been treated like this when they first arrived in the material plane, there would have been no need for them to go to war with the Goblin Empire and the Eastern Empire in the material plane.

But now the situation is completely different!

As they were slow to respond, naturally the number of true believers who were converted was even smaller, and the increase in the total number of believers did not bring them much benefit.

Because of several brutal battles, the souls of believers accumulated in their kingdom of God suffered heavy losses, and the recovery speed was frighteningly slow.

Some gods had too few believers to sustain the consumption of their kingdom, which led to the collapse of their kingdom and they themselves fell into hibernation.

Even so, the gods can gradually recover over time as the number of true believers increases and their strength grows, and then descend to the material plane again.

As a result, the material plane seemed to have "calculated" this point and simply chose another path.

The material plane began to suppress the strength of all living things and limit the concentration of energy.

This will force all intelligent creatures to gradually change from the crude use of energy at will to one that places more emphasis on skills and techniques.

More importantly, the material plane has put most of the "power" it has saved into strengthening the protection of the material plane.

It was precisely because of this action that we were able to withstand the "invasion" of other ancient evil creatures and even abominations, led by the Scarlet Moon.

Intelligent creatures whose strength limits were suppressed began to trust in experience and technology rather than gods.

Therefore, the stronger the professional, the less he believes in gods.

Instead, they become more "ambitious"!
The birth of the Grand Arcanist is one of the representatives of this kind of thinking!

The more difficult the environment, the more it can hone and cultivate one's will.

The "income" did not meet expectations, and the powerful gods could barely maintain the basic situation.

Gods who are weaker and have relatively fewer believers even need to consume their "origin".

This also resulted in the surviving gods taking thousands of years to accumulate enough divine power.

The speed at which they recovered their divine power was far from what they had expected, so they were unable to quickly restore the number of believers, leading to the current uncomfortable situation. As for the transformation into "evil gods", for these gods, it was only a change in behavior and a certain degree of thinking.

The transformation of gods is not uncommon. The Spider Goddess and a series of dark evil gods close to her are typical examples.

However, such a large-scale transformation just shows the gods' determination to gain strength and restore combat capabilities.

As for the series of disasters they have caused now, I actually don't take them too seriously.

Judging from previous cases, as long as they can achieve the final victory, they can easily erase this history and pretend that nothing had happened.

If the church could be a little more powerful, it could also impose these terrible disasters and experiences on the enemies of the evil god.

Thus, the gods, who have become clean again, can once again enjoy the love and prayers of believers with their bright and majestic image.

However, the pressure brought by the Gulf Territory this time was far beyond their imagination.

The covering fire from various long-range weapons and the bombing from various sky weapons made these deformed monsters lose all their temper.

In this case, if they continue to move forward, they will suffer greater losses.

Even if the evil god possesses all kinds of strange abilities and technologies, he cannot ignore the loss of combat units and resources.

So, they began to produce and develop more powerful and terrifying weapons of war based on the Gulf Territory's combat methods.

One after another, distorted and strange photos, one after another, horrific and bloody video, fell into the hands of the Gulf Leader through various detection channels.

After a simple analysis and discussion, researchers from the Gulf have calculated it.

"This is an altar similar to the nest of deformed creatures!"

"The evil gods are creating large combat units!"

"They are far away from the Gulf Territory's largest long-range attack weapons. If we only send the Iron Dragon Force to carry out the bombing mission, we will encounter unexpected dangers."

"Judging from the total number of energy reactions, at least a legendary combat unit will be born. If the subsequent strength continues to increase, it should break through to the demigod level."

"The corresponding manufacturing technology is very advanced. It possesses very outstanding and twisted manufacturing skills. It should be a very mature combat unit."

"In this case, we need to respond and prepare early and arrange for large-scale enemy combat drills."

"..."

Looking at the distorted and uncomfortable images, all combat commanders put aside other thoughts and focused on how to defeat the enemy.

Upon hearing the news, Matthew subconsciously raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that the Gulf Territory's influence on the material plane had reached a very large level.

The "giant monsters" created by the evil gods were originally the most important part of the "monster disaster".

But it happened seven years later. The evil gods plundered a large amount of territory and controlled a large population. In order to capture large cities and fortresses, they specially developed and created war monsters!

But now, facing the endless variety of weapons emerging in the Gulf Territory.

The evil gods could no longer tolerate the rapid growth of the Gulf Territory and felt that they had to strengthen them first, so they created giant monsters in advance.

Matthew was quite happy about this change.

This shows that the Gulf Territory is developing very well and can bring greater pressure to the enemy.

Next, the speed of the Gulf Territory must continue to increase, and force the evil gods to reveal more cards as soon as possible.

As for these more special "monsters", Matthew believes that they will appear at an untimely time and will inevitably cause all kinds of problems and troubles.

Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to manufacture, the consumption and investment will also be huge.

The accumulation of various problems will inevitably lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

Faced with these underdeveloped "monsters", Matthew felt that it would be a better test of the Gulf Territory's combat capabilities.

Since the intensity of the battle is not high enough now, it is a good opportunity for everyone to exercise.

Stronger enemies and more special monsters can also strengthen the growth of the Gulf Territory's combat forces and researchers.

In addition to these monsters called Titans by the Gulf Territory Research Department, investigators with extensive exploration experience have sent back a lot of new information.

In certain valleys among the mountains, horrific rituals of slaughter and sacrifice were taking place.

The strange passage connecting to an unknown dimension is continuously emitting distorted blood light.

Just watching those images and pictures can cause considerable distortion and pollution to people's psychology and thinking.

This obviously dangerous situation naturally attracted the attention of relevant departments in the Gulf Territory.

Based on the long-range exploration and detection of professional troops, at the cost of some drones, they finally found out the specific situation.

“Is this artificially creating evil things?”

"It's unlikely to be an evil creature, but it's possible that it's a demon controlled by it..."

"Divine evil? Aren't they the offspring of the gods?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the life form is unable to completely digest and master the divine power and divinity, and has completely fallen into madness..."

"These guys are very tenacious and have special abilities that cannot be detected. We need to formulate individual combat plans."

"It turns out that the evil gods like to play this game. They create dangerous monsters, various disasters, and all kinds of destruction..."

"They treated both the bad guys and the good guys as well..."

"It turns out that the gods all relied on this to conquer the world..."

"I now doubt very much whether the Scarlet Moon was also created..."

"..."

In addition to these technologies that the evil gods are very familiar with and adept at, the Gulf Territory's investigation department also discovered that the evil gods have learned quite a few of the Gulf Territory's "procedures."

Categorize various combat units.

A distinction is made between combat units and producers.

Large-scale and concentrated "cultivation" of more believers.

They use various propaganda channels and distorted information to brainwash believers in all aspects.

There are also many attempts to imitate the production of the Gulf Leader. Even the Gulf Leader that is being imitated feels a little unbelievable when seeing them.

Some researchers in the Gulf region have even been inspired by this and developed many valuable technologies and projects.

The two sides constantly verify each other and grow together through mutual collision and learning. (End of this chapter)
