Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 682 Is the war over?

"It turns out that the Constructed Mecha is a weapon developed by the cult to fight against the Steam Machine God Alexander." Ling Ge recalled the thunder and lightning that roared in the snowstorm in the Salia Plain. He is still impressed by it. He murmured as if talking to himself: "The Earth Witch, the Scarlet Night Gate..."

No wonder the Great Lord Yuanrang, who was formed by the fusion of the imagined earth god Titan and the imagined spring god Tifo, was vulnerable in front of it. Even the original and strongest imagined god, the steam machine god Alexander who could restart infinitely in stagnant time and space, was no match for the constructed mecha, let alone them?
Anyone who has witnessed the power of the Judgment Cannon would not have the slightest doubt, but the three Photon Elf sisters seemed to be different. They had only heard of the so-called Constructed Mecha from other aliens, but had no idea how powerful it was. Therefore, the eldest sister Best couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is it really that powerful? Can the Earth Witch Fei Ye Mente really fight against such a powerful Ashan Dali?"

It's obviously Alexander, but you can't even pronounce his name correctly, and you're still pretending to be a fighter?

Alice couldn't stand this kind of behavior, and immediately slammed the table and said, "The Feiyemente will definitely defeat Alexander in one second!"

Best was not convinced: "Seconds!"

"A must-second!"

"Second Hair!"

You two sound like elementary school students quarreling.

Lingge complained in his heart, and then hinted to Saint Shallia with his eyes. The shepherdess understood and stretched out a hand, gently strangled Alice's neck, and pushed her back to her seat. On the other side, Bester also gave up this meaningless quarrel under the persuasion of her sister Belphie, but she was still a little angry and glared at Alice fiercely, as if ready to rekindle the war at any time.

"hehe."

Old man Pancras didn't take the children's nonsense to heart. He smiled gently and brought the topic back to the topic that had gone off track: "The Constructed Mecha was indeed a weapon developed by the Cult to fight against the Machine God Alexander, but it is not the Earth Witch-Flamemonte as you think. In fact, it should be a new machine developed later and did not appear in the Steam Holy War."

what! ?

This information was something no one had expected. Linger subconsciously leaned forward and showed a look of surprise, which was rare: "You mean, the Earth Witch is not the only Construct Mecha?"

"There is no doubt that if there is only one Construct Mech, it will never be able to completely eliminate Alexander's existence. Only the combined power of multiple Construct Mechs can create a dilemma that even the Mechanical God who dominates time and space cannot escape."

Elder Pancras stroked his red beard and said slowly, "It is said that the first constructed mecha was developed by the cult union based on the power of the Steam Mecha God Alexander. In order to obtain accurate research data, they even single-handedly led the destruction of the Steam Mecha Cult, and dug out the top-secret magic technology that had not been made public at the time from its wreckage. After countless failures, they finally obtained the machine they called the Prototype Mecha God. Afterwards, they developed two more machines based on the Prototype Mecha God. The names and specific information of these constructed mechas are the highest level of secrets within the cult union, and few people know about them. Most people only know that they have a common code name: Creation Machine."

"Creation Saint Machine?" Linger chewed on these three words. Although he could not understand their meaning for the time being, he could feel that the namer must be full of confidence in his work, so he proudly gave it the name "Creation Saint". Just like Xie Liya, she was always confident when naming her masterpiece.

"So, the full name of the Scarlet Night Gate should be [Creation of Holy Machine] Earth Witch- Scarlet Night Gate?" Alice pondered carefully, and finally said, "This is too long."

Others may have thought so too, but did not say it out loud.

The young man was in no mood to joke. He had a feeling that the road ahead for his group might be even more difficult because of this information, so his tone was a little heavy: "If the Order Union had three Constructed Mechas during the Steam Crusade, then the number now must be even more astonishing, right?"

"I think so." Elder Pancras nodded and said, "If you say that they have only added one Earth Witch, the Scarlet Night Gate, over the years, I'm afraid no one will believe it; but if you ask for the specific number, no one can tell you clearly. The Church Union has always been good at scheming in this regard. For example, after they developed a constructed mecha that was capable of fighting the Steam Mecha God Alexander, they did not immediately join the Steam Holy War, but remained out of it and watched coldly. Until the war situation was completely corrupted, the Prime Minister of the White City Republic's exiled government personally went to the United Church Williard in Sumia City and accepted the baptism of the then Archbishop Messiah. After that, in the name of the believers of the Crimson Dragon God, they asked the Church Union to send troops to support the frontline war. Only then did they join the war as saviors and directly let the general Richard they nominated take over the position of commander-in-chief of the United Army."

It turns out that General Richard, who led the Allied Forces to counterattack the Alpha Knights and eventually planted the Allied Forces' flag on the Depesion Cathedral, was also a member of the Allied Order? No wonder he had no previous record of war, but was able to rise to the top in one step. This decisive battle alone was engraved in history books, and he was as famous as famous generals such as Napoleon, Clausewitz and Helmut.

Alice noticed another detail: the Archbishop, the Messiah?

Is this the Messiah I understand? He shouldn't be a real person, right? Is he a philosopher of the Witch Society? When the cult was first established, the Witch Society had already infiltrated? Also, how confident is that guy with this name? Is he really not afraid of being punished by God? Or does the God of Earth no longer have any control over your other world?

Forget it, don’t think too much. If you keep thinking about it, you will be censored.

Old Man Pancras didn't know what his guests were thinking, and continued, "It was precisely because the United Church deliberately portrayed itself as the savior during the Steam Holy War that the people once believed that they were the only heroes in the entire war. Therefore, after the war, the seven major orthodox sects developed so rapidly and suppressed other religions."

Linger nodded silently. This was one factor, but on the other hand, the funds invested by the religious groups in post-war reconstruction were also huge, and there were no restrictions on nationality or class. The lower-class people who suffered the most in the war also received the maximum assistance after the war. Therefore, they had a good impression of the seven major orthodox religious groups and were willing to listen to their teachings.

Historical issues are all about standpoints. Different conclusions will be drawn from different standpoints. Mr. Pancras is close to the Spiritual Prayer Society, so he will naturally look at the issue from the standpoint of the Spiritual Prayer Society. It is impossible to expect a person to be always fair. Even historians can only be fair to a limited extent.

"At the end of that holy war, when the machine god Alexander was destroyed, his kingdom of God was not destroyed together with him. Instead, it turned into fragments of the power of faith and scattered. Due to its ability to solidify time and space, most people lost their memories of the war. Only a few people still remember the truth of the war."

Elder Pancras's conclusion explained why the scale of the holy war was so large, involving extraordinary factors such as refinement, the conception of gods, and magic technology, and even the appearance of several constructed mechas, but the post-war was handled so calmly without any ripples. The power of the machine god Alexander exceeded everyone's imagination. Even if he fell, he could still erase most people's memories with the power of time and space under his control. It is hard to imagine how great his power would be if he evolved to a perfect form.

I'm afraid this is not a problem that can be solved by the three Creation Saint Mechas, right?
