An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

Of course, she was not the only one who was taken away, but also other Sky Islanders...

In the end, they were brought in front of a very beautiful boy, who actually asked them, do you want to really fly?

All the jumps that happened were too great, and Konis really couldn't turn her head around.

"Sky Island people, you are actually very clear that you don't believe in the so-called 'god', it's just a 'leader' who changes every time a certain period of time comes."

Yun Juan didn't rush to do anything, but started a long talk with them very friendly.

"Instead of being gods, it would be more appropriate to call them popes. You don't actually have a definite belief, don't you? You have wings, but you don't know how to fly. You long for the blue sky, and you can't find the wind that drives you to soar. "

Yun Juan's gentle words were not very offensive, but they directly revealed the essence of the theocracy that the people of Sky Island had disguised with faith.

"You, you must be condemned by God..."

The sky islander who yelled before was pale and trembling, but he was not out of the anger of a believer after his god was insulted, but out of pure fear.

They honor the so-called gods simply for their strength and authority.The more powerful the 'God', the more fearful and prostrate they are. The so-called faith is nothing more than obedience born of fear.

And the "god" Enel of this generation is undoubtedly the strongest one in the past 400 years, and for the Sky Islanders who have been isolated from the world for too long, they don't know the existence of Devil Fruits so that they will really use Enel's ability. As a kind of 'divine power'.

To put it bluntly, this belief is nothing more than the delusion brought about by the asymmetry of information and information.

But isn't that what faith is?A group of people who don't know the so-called imagine a perfect idol under the appearance of packaging and false stories, and then give everything for it, and attack other people who do not want to believe in this idol.

In modern society this is called rice circle, in ancient times it was called religion.They are all in urgent need of a spiritual sustenance because of their own emptiness. It is a story of fools and liars.

"Poor children, you have no chance to witness the real gods, and the shielded ignorance prevents you from discovering your true strength."

With a compassionate face, Yun Juan took off the blue bird pendant on his chest, and put it on Conis's neck affectionately.

"Then, witness the existence of the gods with your own eyes."

Accompanied by his words, an invisible wind gathered in the sky, and a blue bird was born under the gathered wind, and then descended here in the form of Janna!

Yun Juan didn't speak, he looked at these staring sky islanders and didn't do much, just left here with ZERO and Guli Chali.

The next thing is Janna's job, and Yunjuan believes that she will do a good job, better than any liar in the world.

After all, she is a real 'God'.

"I don't understand, Boss, if we want to control Sky Island and make them believe in Lord Janna, why don't we directly..."

Guli Chali couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, everyone on the empty island is not worth mentioning, and even that god is nothing but an arrogant idiot.

"Because defeating a god must be the god itself." Yunjuan said easily

"Do you know what the favorite topic of discussion is when believers of one religion and believers of another religion meet? Of course it is a discussion, whose god is more powerful."

"A told B that my god can create the world in seven days, B told A that my god could destroy the world in three days, and A told B that it only took one day for my god to destroy the world, and B said to A, My god can kill your god with a backhand."

Having said that, Yunjuan looked at Guli Chali with a half-smile and asked

"Did you read comics and novels when you were young? I remember that you were also from Beihai. You should have done similar things."

Guli Chali's expression was a little dazed, but after a moment of silence, he still nodded and said in a low voice

"I used to discuss this with my neighbor's friend when I was young. I like Invisible Black, and he likes Sparkle Red. We often discuss who is better, and after discussing, we fight."

"Look, this is a religious war." Yunjuan spread his hands and said

"Discussing whose belief is more powerful is a topic that human beings love, because it is the sustenance of the soul. Everyone hopes that the object they entrust is invincible and perfect, so everyone likes to compare, and the end of this comparison must be It's going to be a big fight."

"Religious wars are nothing more than this, competing for the interpretation of teachings and the orthodoxy of the gods. The winner is the orthodox belief, and the loser is the devil and evil god. The one who wins in the end is not the best, but the most able to fight."

"I understand what you mean, you want Her Majesty Janna to come forward, and then let you create a few real 'angels' to defeat that idiot named Enilo." ZERO suddenly said

"Yes, that's it." Yunjuan said with a smile

"Jana is a character who doesn't like to do anything, and I don't expect her to show any kind of 'God's Wrath', and as a god, she either doesn't do anything, or at least burns cities to ashes or causes a big flood or something, When it is inconvenient for the gods to do it, it should be the time for the 'angels' to do it for them."

He snapped his fingers lightly, smiling jokingly and happily

"As long as the people of Sky Island see their false gods being defeated by the messengers of the true gods, their fragile beliefs will easily collapse, and then they will bet on us with the most fanatical beliefs."

"Especially after the fact that they find out that those 'angels' who are one of them get promoted, they quickly develop a desire to be one of the 'angels,' just like believers who desire to go to heaven after death."

"The ultimate goal of every believer's longing and hard work is to get close to their gods." Yunjuan said with a smile

"Even if they don't know what they believe in, it doesn't matter. The believers' pursuit of excellence is aimed at such a simple and straightforward goal, and what we want to show to every Sky Islander is just It's just a possibility."

Yun Juan stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked back in front of those captured Sky Islanders, Janna's figure was floating in the sky silently, but these Sky Islanders who called themselves angels had already changed their beliefs!

"Get ready, then, my lovely angels."

Yunjuan smiled and stretched out his hand to Conis, and said softly

"Let me help you get a pair of wings that can soar in the sky..."

33. Battle of Faith

Apadoa, the Island of the Gods

Although the rich cumulus clouds in the White Sea gave birth to this endless sea of ​​clouds and gave people whose souls are bound by gravity the qualification to live on the clouds, but only the clouds are still unable to breed the various species needed for life. natural environment.

Therefore, Sky Island is a precious product in the White Sea.

Those islands that were washed up to an altitude of [-] meters by water or other reasons stagnated in the sky with the help of dense Cumulus clouds, and these thick lands were the only ones that could be seen on the White Sea. A place where trees and life are planted, although the white clouds on Sky Island are magical and beautiful, they are not places where life can be bred.

Every sky island is regarded as life by the people of Sky Island, and every inch of land is regarded as a gift from the gods, and this is especially true for Apadoya, which owns the golden capital of Shambhala.

People who live on the earth yearn for the sky, thinking that gods live on the clouds, but people who live on the clouds yearn for the earth, thinking that gods should live on the earth.

In the end, the essence of belief and longing is that the rare is the most precious.

Apadoya has the most comprehensive ecological environment of Sky Island. As a large part of Gaya Island, it undoubtedly has the most prosperous output and natural environment of Sky Island, and even after rising to an altitude of [-] meters, here Not only has the natural environment not declined, but it has become more prosperous strangely.

It's like returning to your proper environment from an uncomfortable environment.

But it is a pity that any angels from Angel Island are strictly forbidden to set foot here.

This damned rule undoubtedly comes from this year's god Enel, who destroyed his own homeland 'Gabi' with his own hands, and ruled this land of gods with a cruel and ruthless attitude, only allowing a very small number of people to be chosen by him people live here.

Here is only Enil, with his four priests and a small number of divine soldiers. As a god, Enil lives on the top of the huge vine, which is higher than the highest point of the White Sea. Top of the world near the atmosphere.

It is much higher than Mary Joya, and it can be said to be the closest place to 'space' known in the world.The infinite land, the secret leading to the outside of this world, seems to be at your fingertips in the eyes of Enilo.

Everything he did was to obtain the secret that was at his fingertips, and for this reason, he actually didn't care about anything.

"Really? Another outsider from Qinghai?"

In the temple at the top of the vines, Enilu, with a circle of golden decorations like drums inserted behind his back, lay lazily on the bed, watching the priest Nirvana who came to return and lazily said

"So you can't deal with them?"

"They didn't set foot on Apadoa, God." Another chubby priest Dawu whispered

"They are only active on Angel Island and several nearby empty islands. It is inconvenient for the Divine Soldiers to leave the Island of Gods to judge them, but according to our information, they...are preaching teachings?"

"Oh? Propagate the teachings? Do you want to promote the god?" Enilo smiled as if interested

"No..." Nirvana said in a cold sweat

"They preach that you are just a false god who stole divine power, a counterfeit, and the goddess Janna they believe in is the orthodox belief, the true god of this sea of ​​clouds..."

"Hahahaha, that's very interesting." Enilu laughed, but he was not annoyed by such a thing

Precisely because Enilo calls himself 'God', he knows better than anyone else that people are not afraid of God, and fear itself is God.

His majesty, the faith he received, and the respect those people prostrated to him were not because of his noble birth, or because he was born with the heavy responsibility of saving the world.

They worship him only because he has the power to make everyone fear that's all.Their kneeling was not because of their high morals, but because of the thunder cast from his hands.

In the myths of any country, or the legends of any world, the gods often punish the mortal world mercilessly.Because only in this way can their power be demonstrated, only in this way can all beings believe in and worship them, only in this way can they get the ultimate fear.

Fearing authority but not morality is an animal instinct rooted in the depths of human beings.Apart from intelligence, there is not much difference between humans and beasts.

"Tell me about the goddess Janna they believe in. What is she capable of?" Enilu laughed.

"Those Qinghai people claim to be the emissaries of Janna's Sound Nest. What they brought to the Sky Island people is the belief of the girl of the wind and the sea, and those who believe in them... will be given a pair of wings." Nirvana whispered softly. road

"Give me a pair of wings that can really soar in the sky."

"It sounds interesting, but it's just nonsense and it's not worth paying attention to." Enilu waved his hand and said lazily

"Let Shura and Ohm take the Divine Soldiers to deal with them, and all the disobedient ones will be wiped out."

God's grace does not have to be as generous as the sea, but the majesty of God must be as terrifying as hell!

......

Sky Islanders are not purely human.

In other words, when Yun Juan checked their samples, he could confirm that the Sky Islanders, like the sub-human races on the sea with long hands and feet, were all within the category of 'human', but It is a rare species.

There are wings behind them, or they used to exist.There is a pair of incompletely degenerated bones near their shoulder blades, and a considerable part of their bones is a hollow structure similar to birds, with a part of incompletely degenerated air sacs connected to the lungs, and the characteristics of these parts are still preserved. , but their performance has already been degraded to the point where they are no different from ordinary people except for these parts that are no longer useful or even drag down the body.

But since there are traces of existence, it proves that the former Sky Islanders, those Sky Islanders who came to the White Sea from the infinite land, did indeed have wings.

The undegenerated body structure is the proof that they were able to fly, but considering the aerodynamics of the human body structure, their wingspan must be large enough, even if the bones are hollow, their wings are definitely not less than 12mm in diameter. meters or more.

In other words, their body structure before degeneration was even more different than that of humans today.

This is not surprising. There are countless strange and strange sub-human races in this sea. If you go to Totland and observe the descendants of BIG MOM, you can almost see all the sub-human races that are more exaggerated than in fairy tales. exist.

Even balloon people are not uncommon in this world, let alone a kind of 'bird man'.

But what makes Yunjuan interesting is that the degeneration of the Sky Islanders obviously did not happen naturally - because the environment they live in and the time they came to the White Sea are obviously not enough for such an exaggerated 'degeneration'.

Yes, this is undoubtedly a kind of degeneration. For the sky islanders living at an altitude of 7000 meters where the air is thin, their original hollow bone structure is undoubtedly more suitable for them to survive here, and the wings are more suitable for living at an average altitude of [-] meters. For organisms above [-] meters, it is a body structure that should not disappear.

The essence of evolution lies in adaptation rather than strength. Even if the bones and flesh of the sky islanders who have changed to humans become stronger and thicker, the wrong change that does not adapt to the environment is undoubtedly a kind of degeneration.

Even if this is half a fantasy world, it is impossible to complete the degeneration of species in 800 years in 1 years, so Yunjuan boldly speculates that the genes of these Sky Islanders may have ushered in a comprehensive artificial transformation... ...

Reminiscent of the golden city of Shambhala, where the Sky Islanders who lived in Qinghai lived, the bottom of the clock recorded Neptune's message. This place was probably visited by that 'Joey Boy' 800 years ago.

Maybe... the artificial transformation and degradation here is the result of a certain super weapon being used here.

Yunjuan didn't take such inferences to heart, after all, he was not a historian, and he preferred to focus on the work in front of him rather than exploring the lost history.

The final inference of the transformation plan for the Sky Islanders is not to help them return to their original posture, not to mention that doing so is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if they succeed, they can fly, and their combat effectiveness is probably not as good as before the transformation Woolen cloth.

An angel must not only have gorgeous wings, but more importantly, must have a powerful strength that can overwhelm all pagans.

Gabriel carried the wrath of God to destroy the tall Tower of Babel. The biggest reason why people fear the Angel of Death is not that he can fly, but that he can destroy the Tower of Babel.

The transformation plan for the Sky Islanders should revolve around the three directions of wings, holiness and strength, and the final selection goal is——

"Almighty Angel."

Yunjuan looked at the blue ball shining in his hand, smiled happily and said,

This is a biological transformation plan from a harem animation "Things That Fell from the Sky". In that not-so-rigorous and cruel world, there are super-civilized Synapses and the almighty angels they created.

Strictly speaking, those omnipotent angels are "bionic humans" created by combining biological and mechanical technologies. Their physical structure is still the posture of carbon-based creatures, but their inner core is a kind of "variable wing core". super technology.

That is a super technology core that integrates super AI, space conversion technology, material invasion technology, and molecular manipulation technology. Such a powerful thing-of course, the cloud volume cannot be produced.

The ball in his hand is not a high-end product like the variable wing core at all, but just some modified version of the Hex core.

After combining and replacing the neural structure and organ parts of the sky islanders, turning them into mechanical structures, plus some powerful hex weapons that can connect to their cores for energy transmission, the transformation is complete!

Yes, he couldn't create a real omnipotent angel, so he could simply use those beautiful girl angels as samples to create some mechanical copycat versions.

This transformation process is not difficult. In fact, the biggest trouble is to remove part of their brain tissue structure and replace it with an electronic chip, and then... implant some AI assistance.

Yunjuan is really not good at code programming and smashing chips with a hammer. After all, the only 'machine' that can replace the function of a lithography machine here is his own hands.

The transformation process took three days, and finally four different finished products were born. Yunjuan also helped them do a full set of plastic surgery.

As the spokesperson of the gods, one must not only be strong, but also beautiful enough.

Otherwise, why did the images of angels change from grotesque things to beautiful birdmen with wings after the Renaissance?Image engineering is also very important!

"Speaking of which, I used to really fantasize about a girl who could fall from the sky."

Yunjuan looked at Konis, who was quietly lying in the culture tank for final adjustment and integration, with her pink hair and enlarged breasts, and smiled maliciously.

"I couldn't wait for my Icarus, but I made a knockoff of my own, um... so how do you feel now, Red Queen?"

'Icarus' in the culture tank slowly opened his eyes, mechanical and accurate English came out through the culture fluid

"It's really good to have a physical feeling...Master."
