Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 484: Is this the end of the ancient era?

Human power is losing ground in front of the real gods, and the choice that will change the world in destiny is coming. Facing the devastated land, the believers of order bow their heads and offer devout prayers, eager for the glory of God to comfort the world and erase the trauma in people's hearts; recalling the years of displacement in the past, the believers of chaos shout unwillingly in the abyss, praying for the wrath of God to descend on the earth and punish this race that only knows how to kill each other and pursue desires with the punishment of heavenly fire... All these voices are heard by the girls through some special connection, because they are the gods who are believed in, and they are the great will that has given the power of the kingship to mankind and guided them out of weakness. In this case, human evil, human greed, human original sin, and all the disasters caused by them should also be listened to, judged, and judged by God.

Faced with these two completely different paths, the young queens who govern the positive and negative laws of the universe, like the scales that have been kept balanced for thousands of years, stand on opposite trays. The expectations and prayers placed on them are the weights on the trays, which are about to cause the scales to lose balance for the first time.

The crossroads of fate stretched out before their eyes, and the girls had different opinions.

The chaotic girls believed that Saint Tumi's betrayal and the human's blasphemy of the power of the kingship were unforgivable sins. Instead of creating a better world, they made it uglier, filled with sad cries and painful wails. If the mother woke up and saw such a world, would she really be happy? The origin of all this can be traced back to the endless pursuit of power by humans. They clearly have enough power to make their own race survive in the world, but they still greedily demand more, even crossing the limit. It turned out that the mother was right not to grant humans the qualification to use magic power, because they are such a race. In this case, they should also follow the mother's example, take back the holy vessel of the kingship, and deprive humans of the qualification to continue to use this power. They will be what they were before, and no one needs to be responsible for their weakness.

However, the girls of order believed that whether it was breaking a promise or pursuing power through evil and blasphemous means, it was the personal behavior of Saint Tumi and his disciples, and had nothing to do with other humans. In this disaster that affected the entire continent, many people were innocent victims. If they were angry at everyone for the mistakes of some people, their mother would never agree with such behavior. Moreover, humans had just won the previous joint war and the dark dragon tide, subverting the rule of the ancient elves and establishing their own hegemony. The power of the kingship is the cornerstone of their survival. If this power is taken back, the elves who were defeated and expelled by them will surely come back and retaliate against these weak ants that they did not take seriously before. With the previous failure as a lesson, their methods will be very cruel, and they may even directly exterminate humans. Will such an ending really make people feel satisfied?
Each side had its own insistence. One side thought the other side was too weak, while the other side thought the other side was too extreme. For the first time in their lives, they had a conflict and began to quarrel. In the end, the difference in ideas evolved into... a fight.

……

"That's why I said that humans are such an interesting race, or rather, this is an interesting world." Fei'er opened her arms, looked around, and said with emotion: "When we lived in the Holy Temple of Heaven before, our relationship was so good. Although we would occasionally quarrel, we would make up quickly and no one would take it to heart. However, from the moment that man entered the Holy Temple of Heaven and made his promise, from the moment we realized that the planet under our feet was not far away from us, from the moment we came to the human world and knew for the first time that there were so many complicated emotions in the world... our hearts also changed."

She took back her hand and gently pressed it on her chest. Her eyes seemed so bright in the dark world. "This is the impact of emotion on life. In the past, we didn't know its power because we were in a closed environment. Once we break out of the eggshell and enter the world, we will be at a loss like a newborn chick. After all, people are not static. Mother was worried that our pure souls would be polluted by the malice of the world, so she asked us to stay in the Holy Temple of Heaven and not leave. But doesn't He know that curiosity and expectation will always lead people to an unknown world? Because only in this way can they be alive."

In this regard, the goddess who created the world did not think it through, because she loved her children deeply. So we can say that even true gods will be affected by emotions, let alone the royal power of these young girls which is easily shaken.

Saint Xia Liya lowered her head, looked at her hands, and remained silent. It was hard for her to imagine that she, who was so obsessed with being a "good sister", had actually stood on the opposite side of her sisters and fought with them in the past. She could neither comfort their pain nor understand their feelings, so, at that time, Ling Ge might have been wrong? She had never been a good sister. Not in the past, not now, and probably not in the future.

Fei Er did not notice Saint Xia Liya's reaction, or rather, she deliberately ignored it. She said, "When the girls were arguing, it was still the saint you humans revere who intervened in the fight. It can only be said that he really loves humans and is willing to be the guardian of this race, so he decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to completely eliminate the girl kingships and help humans truly obtain the power of the law. In this way, not only will humans become stronger, but even his good students who have gone crazy may return to normal. The confidence that supports him in making this crazy decision is the thirteen holy artifacts formed by part of the power of the kingship."

Amid Linger's complicated look and Nevi'er's cold laughter, Fei'er whispered the ending of the story: "Saint Tomi detonated the thirteen holy artifacts sealed by the Spiritual Prayer Society. Except for the Crimson Sword that had merged with Mecantheus, all the holy artifacts were shattered. Under the violent impact of the explosion, the broken laws overflowed uncontrollably and began to wreak havoc throughout the sky and the earth."...

With a deafening roar, the world shook violently, the planets trembled, the stars in the sky slowly fell, the abyss under the ground rose rapidly, the lightless darkness rolled in with thick dust, and a huge force quickly expanded and expanded, sweeping across the entire continent, unable to resist. The horrific catastrophe swept the world, the earth cracked, the sea surged, and the originally integrated continent was gradually torn apart. The people were panicked and thought they had seen the end of the world.

The broken laws of the kingship are undoubtedly destroying the original appearance of this planet and tearing it apart. At this moment, the girls who were originally in disagreement, whether they were girls of order or girls of chaos, all stopped fighting and began to maintain the stability of the sky, the firmness of the earth and the tranquility of the ocean. Although they deeply hated and despised the various deceptions and betrayals of humans, they had no complaints about this world. After all, it was their mother's creation and a treasure they had always wanted to protect. Naturally, they could not bear to see it destroyed.

However, at this moment, the man ignored the wailing sky, the crumbling earth and the roaring ocean, and joined forces with his few remaining disciples to attack the girl kingship. The decisive and fierce momentum undoubtedly wanted to make these girls who controlled the laws of creation perish here completely.

This was another shameful betrayal, but perhaps because they were used to it, the girls found that they were not as angry as they thought, but just sad. Based on some unspoken tacit understanding, they did not choose to resist, but still tried to maintain the stability of the world and repair the broken laws. However, the blow from the back of humans eventually exhausted their strength and fell into a deep sleep - in the words of ordinary life, it was death.

Saint Tumi did what he wanted to do. He thought he helped humans protect this hard-won power, and from then on he no longer had to worry about the gods' moods affecting the fate of the race. However, his interference with the process of the young royal powers repairing the broken laws also led to extremely serious consequences: in this terrible catastrophe, the earth collapsed, the sea surged back, and the originally integrated continent was broken into two major plates and countless archipelagos, namely the later East and West Continents, the Eshod Islands and the Sonia Islands, as well as the chaotic sea that separated the two continents. In the violent plate movement, the Yahe Empire and the Losonov Dynasty, as well as most of the tribes blessed by the ancient elves were divided into the East Continent, while the White Griffin Empire and the Wollumv Dynasty were still located on the original continent.

The ancient times that were not recorded in history books ended here, and from here on, history entered the ancient century familiar to mankind.

……

"This is the third breakpoint that announces the end of the ancient era after the catastrophe and the miracle—"

Fei'er's voice echoed lightly in the realm of chaos and nothingness, but it made people feel that it had a heavy weight: "The era of heavenly change."
