Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 330 Is sacrifice inevitable?
The energy reaction of the conceptual god Yuanrang Dazun did disappear, but two new energy reactions were differentiated from his remains, which were initially determined to be Quanling Difu and Earth Mother Titan. This was the first time Fei Er encountered such a situation. Even when she faced Alexander, the steam engine god created by the wishes of hundreds of millions of people, and watched him resurrect several times in eternal time and space, she was not as surprised as she was now.

In the final analysis, it was the difference in the source. The power of faith that made up the existence of the Steam Engine God Alexander was vast and majestic, both in quantity and quality. The greatest miracles would be born from the prayers of countless people, so it was not surprising that He possessed any magical authority.

On the contrary, these two gods, the conceptual spring spirit - Tifo, only condenses the faith power of more than a hundred people, and it is so mixed that it is difficult to be called truly pious; the conceptual mother earth - Titan is completely supported by Rochelle's faith and the spirituality he collected. Without these things, it is just an empty shell.

Can such a weak god replicate the miracle of the resurrection of Alexander the Machine God?
"I have a simple guess about this."

Melquiades analyzed carefully in the communicator: "You know, although these animists believe in different spirits, they all acknowledge that the original Holy Spirit is the source of all spirituality, and the thousands of spirits in the world - whether it is the spring spirits of the Holy Spring Monastery and the Earth Mother of the Fertile Soil Sect, or the ancestral spirits of the Ancestral Spirit Religion and the elders of the Druid Religion, are just the incarnations of the Holy Spirit during its slumber. Only by gathering all these spirits can they be reunited and return to their eternal state. That is the essence of the 'Holy Spirit Return Day' they desire. In this way, perhaps, aggregation and separation are originally the unique properties of these spirits, just like the machine god Alexander possesses the power beyond time and space."

Although this guess was simple, it made sense. Fei Er nodded slightly to show his approval. At the same time, he didn't know what he remembered. A moment of absent-mindedness flashed across his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Holy Spirit..."

She suddenly asked, "What do you think of him?"

Melquíades didn’t respond: “Him?”

"That's the Holy Spirit. Aren't you Fei's student? In other words, he is your teacher's teacher. Don't you have any opinion about him?"

Melquiades was slightly moved when his teacher was mentioned, but his expression quickly returned to calm. He shook his head and said, "I really don't have any opinion. My teacher didn't often tell me about the story of this Holy Spirit, so my understanding of him is based only on paper materials. Besides, this is a topic irrelevant to the current situation. Master Fei Er, we'd better focus on the more critical point - the two new energy reactions have begun to take shape."

The imagined god, Yuanrang Dazun, merged the characteristics of the two spirit gods into an evil and blasphemous existence, and the cannon of judgment of the Feiyemente separated them again and returned them to their original form.

Because the two conceived gods were not very content, after experiencing death and returning to the material world, they made completely opposite choices: the spring spirit Tifu, locked in the cold ice crystal, gently flapped the six ice wings on his side, rolled up the roaring frost storm, flew towards the direction of Nimsher City, and instantly disappeared in the misty wind and snow. There was a familiar breath in that direction, and countless people were calling and longing for his coming in their hearts. Then, as a god, Tifu would also respond to the wishes of these believers and come to shape the kingdom of God they longed for.

"Before this, there has never been a precedent for the fusion and separation of imagined gods. Today's incident proves that the 'Holy Spirit Return Day' of animism may not be groundless. It is necessary to retain detailed data and submit it to the association headquarters to hold a relevant meeting for discussion." Melquiades in the command center looked at the two gods who returned to the material world and frowned slightly. He said: "If the believers of animism are allowed to summon their gods and merge them, the harm caused may be more serious than the ordinary imagined gods."

Fei Er replied: "But now is not the time."

The material form shaped by the energy fluctuations that matched the spring spirit Tifo was still the goddess trapped in the cold ice crystals, with six diamond-shaped transparent ice wings flapping gently on her sides, whistling gray-white snowflakes, making the wind and snow that had already died down gradually become bleak again, covering the entire city of Nimsher; and the material form shaped by the energy fluctuations that matched the earth mother Titan was like a poisonous scorpion crawling out of a filthy swamp, with collapsed building ruins, rock fragments and sandy debris constituting its body, and large areas of algae, rotten aquatic plants, rust-red thorns and huge mushroom colonies growing between its eight sharp walking legs. Its upper body stood up, waving a dozen pairs of thick rock arms, roaring and shouting like a wild giant, shaking out circles of sound waves visible to the naked eye.

Fei'er whispered quietly, "I didn't know you would say so much," but Melquiades pretended not to hear and ignored it, projecting the energy reaction diagram captured by the command center onto the lens of Fei'er's dark red windshield. It can be seen that these two invisible energies are shaping corresponding material forms through some mysterious reaction. And the various characteristics they possess undoubtedly meet the basic definition of the conceived gods.

At the same time, the Earth Mother Titan raised her huge, hard rock legs and plunged deeply into the shattered ground with deafening roars. The poisonous scorpions in the swamp rolled over the earth and rumbled towards the direction of the Salia Plains, raising terrifying dust and haze in the astonishing movement. In this direction was the enemy that He longed for, the goal that He had devoted all His life to and believed in, which was stronger than pure desire or noble faith.

"This is trouble." Fei Er raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

These two guys are not impossible to deal with. At least the Judgment Cannon can kill them one by one, which is no different from when it shot through the Great Venerable Yuanrang just now. The problem is that the Judgment Cannon cannot be fired continuously. The high-energy magic power it releases is a huge burden for both the Feiyemente and the gun barrel. It requires the joint operation of multiple magic devices to alleviate this effect. So usually, each firing of the Judgment Cannon requires at least ten minutes. In theory, the ten-minute cooling interval will pass quickly if the Death Birds in the sky and the magic troops on the ground delay for a while, but at this moment, the Quanling Tifu and the Earth Mother Titan are heading in opposite directions, one is heading towards the urban area of ​​Nimcher City, and the other is heading towards the Salia Wilderness. The Judgment Cannon cannot be split, so there is no way to destroy them at the same time.

Therefore, a trade-off must be made.

Fei Er thought about it and quickly made a decision: "Let the cult troops in Nimsher City contain the Spring Spirit Tifo to buy time for the launch of the Judgment Cannon. As for the Earth Mother Titan, let Langning lead the mobile corps to delay it for a while. If conditions permit, we can try to destroy it by force. Durahal's orbital corps will be responsible for evacuating the people. Since that guy's target is the Scarlet Night Gate, I guess he won't attack the surrounding towns."

The Balance of Order is an armed force that can kill gods, and this is not just due to the terrifying power of the Judgment Cannon. In fact, the armed forces on the Scarlet Night Gate can also do this, destroying gods with lower powers such as the Spring Spirit or the Earth Mother Titan. The only problem is that it cannot be as clean and neat as the Judgment Cannon, and it can be finished in one shot. If the battle is dragged on too long, the damage to the surrounding area will be a devastating disaster. Therefore, after comprehensively considering the casualties and disaster relief work, Fei Er just asked the mobile corps led by Lang Ning to delay time, and did not force him to destroy the Titan.

At this time, Melquiades said: "However, there is a small town on the Titan's path, which is relatively close. I am afraid we will not be able to evacuate in time."

"Which city?"

"The City of Winds, Avion."

Fei Er was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Pass on my previous instructions."

Melquiades in the command center nodded slightly: "I understand, Master Fei Er."

Neither of them mentioned what to do about the Windy City of Avion.

Because everyone knows it.

Although they always regard maintaining social order and people's safety as their top priority, they are also aware that sacrifice is inevitable in certain circumstances.

If giving up the minority can save the majority.

no doubt.

They will do it.
