Chapter 25 God-making Plan
When the first snowflake in the sky began to fall, Leo finally heard the news of the devil's appearance. They waited so long that almost all of them thought that the other party would not come again, that all the things he led were superfluous, and that he was uneasy and kind. He is under too much pressure. But there was nothing wrong with the prophecy, and they came. And in a way they didn't expect.
At the very center of the war, the army of Suffaraz's army, under the temptation of the black morning, tirelessly marched towards the battlefield of the invasion of neighboring countries. The sky fire came with meteors, and the dark red flame swept the battlefield, devouring the lives of countless people and turning them into bones and ashes. The meteor fell to the ground and smashed countless bottomless deep pits. Magma emerged from the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. Clegg's demons came out of those pits. They rushed to the panicked crowd, causing greater chaos and panic, and... killing.
Li Ou looked at the information in his hand. Although it was full of cold and emotionless words, through it, Leo could still feel the terrible appearance, like the end.
"The black morning must have panicked." Evela said.
"Who knows." Leo shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe they will still be happy. Take this as a gift from Clegg to them and think it is a great encouragement. I thought it was Clegg who also joined their carnival.
Rosie curled her lips and said, "They won't be so stupid..., right?"
"The mage of Lozva has done this." Leo said.
These days, after he has read a large number of ancient books and became the eye of insight, he has the right to check the books in the steeple of wisdom and truth, as well as the classics of the mage's tower... Some of the books have recorded a few words. It is obscure, as if it is written in secret words with great taboos. It's like an opponent from Mage Lozva. They described the scene when the devil came in timid and frightened language. As Leo said, they had fantasies about it and thought it was Clegg's favor, but the truth was that the killing of demons among them was the most satisfying thing for Clegg.
"They will understand." Evela thought for a moment and said, "I just hope it won't be too late."
"Do your best to follow your fate." Leo sighed.
Each of them knows that they have no chance of winning. Countless civilizations are destroyed before them, and countless intelligent creatures are extinct in the fire. What else is left of their human beings besides a little desire to survive?
For a moment, the room was silent, and a powerless wry smile appeared on everyone's face.
Li Ou turned around and looked at the world map on the wall, which had circled the place where the demon appeared with a red pen. In addition to the burning battlefield, there is also the area occupied by the octopus on the other side of the narrow sea they have been to.
"Where do you think the next location is?" Li Ou asked.
They hesitated, and no one could give an accurate answer. Because every day, more demons emerge from everywhere without warning, and then spread like an incurable plague.
Leo sighed. On the table, seven alchemy scrolls spread out, and the golden words were shining, and the prophecies on them pierced their eyes. No one knows how long they have been circulating, but everyone who has them may regret not paying attention to the above prophecies. The same is true of Leo. They have wasted too much time, and now they can only hope that there is a solution. However, demons can kill. What about demons? What are they going to do?
"I think," Lu Yuewu suddenly said, "the next place where the devil appears is here."
Li Ou raised his head, "Why?"
Relics, alchemy. Leo." She said, "The chief bachelor said that alchemy is Clegg's 'reward'..."
"...I think it's better to say it's his conspiracy." Rosie snorted coldly, "Alchemy killed the gods who resisted him, but this time..."
"...We have no chance of winning this time." Leo said, "The essence of alchemy is not to kill, but to pursue truth, but obviously, we have been deceived... At the end of truth, it will perish. I'm not sure that we can succeed." He said dejectedly, "What the gods can't do is difficult for us to accomplish unless..."
"...unless what?"
Li Ou suddenly had a whim in his mind. He remembered that in the record, the root cause of the failure of the gods was their civil war. Their faith collapsed too quickly, and their power was so weak that even the demon lord could not be matched. If no one held them back, if Black Chenxi was willing to help. Leo thinks they may still have a strong fight.
"Liou? Leo?" Evela shouted at him, "What on earth did you think of?"
"A crazy plan."
"What do you say?"
"Since Clegg won't show up, we'll go to him."
Evela's eyes widened and covered her mouth with surprise, "Look for him? How to find it? None of us knows where he is hiding.
"The gods live in the kingdom of gods, and the demons naturally stay in hell. The demon gods must also have their own planes." Leo said. He said while thinking about the feasibility of the plan. They can temporarily resist the devil's army for a year, two years, or even ten years, but what happens after that? What if Clegg's patience is exhausted? What should they do? At that time, they could do nothing but be helpless. It's better for them to take the initiative to attack. Although there is little hope of success, it's not enough to throw their fate to the other party. It's better to let go. Alchemy can create a transmission array across planes.
"Are you crazy?" Rosie whispered in surprise.
"This is the only way to win." Leo said, "The capital of everything is Cleg, not his men, the lawless demons. They will never end and will drag us down sooner or later. Instead, it is better to struggle like a trapped beast, at least with a glimmer of life."
"But this is too bold." Yvela frowned and thought carefully, "But it's a good idea. Just... will they agree? Spend all your human and material resources on it?"
"Time will tell them that we have no choice." Leo said with a wry smile, "Edsey will also find out what a mistake he made. Let's just do it."
There is no doubt that Leo's proposal has been rejected. Whether it is "wisdom" or "truth", or the pursuers on the Wind Rock Tower, they do not agree with Leo's radical approach.
"This is completely impossible to succeed." The wind chaser came to a conclusion without thinking about it. This is simply a fantasy."
"That's right." Wisdom nodded, "not to mention that we don't know where Clegg is, what if we find his residence? Don't forget that we are all ordinary people. How can we compete with demons and gods?
They all forgot a crucial thing.
"Andal Church is trying to revive their goddess."
"Of course I know..." "Truth" suddenly closed his mouth. He looked up at Li Ou, and couldn't help but look in surprise. "Don't you want to... let the goddess go..."
"...that's right!" Li Ou snapped his fingers. Who else can fight besides her? In our mortal bodies, the pressure of the demon god is enough to kill us. Of course, only the gods can resist the demon god.
"However, they are not resurrected by real gods. It's just a puppet, a puppet stronger than the secret silver guard, a willless puppet, and a dark banshee born in death. The pursuer said, "I'm afraid she's not even a holy warrior."
However, Leo suddenly laughed.
"What's so funny!" Wisdom still did not hide his dissatisfaction and asked loudly.
"Don't worry, adults, she will become stronger than any god before. As long as we want..."
They seemed to think of something and had a cold war together. Alchemist, shouldn't you... not want to..." The wind chaser trembled, and the old man couldn't even say a complete word.
"Yes, that's what I think." Leo affirmed their conjecture.
"It's hard to succeed."
"No, this can be said to be easy." Leo said confidently, "What do people usually do when human beings are helpless in the face of difficulties? There is no doubt that they will only kneel down and pray, no matter who the object is... This psychological comfort can help them overcome their fear, and it is enough to evoke memories that they have slept or even forgotten... For example, how to be willing to be the 'lambs' of the gods and how to dedicate their faith.
"This is cheating!"
"Deception or death? Which one I want to choose is self-evident.
"Truth" raised its hand to stop the unprovoked accusation of "wisdom". Wait, Leo, according to what you said, you want the pastors of Andal Church to vigorously develop their believers at this time to accumulate faith and reshape a goddess. However, have you ever thought that the gods are dead, and the goddess who woke up through magic is just a walking corpse.
Liou laughed and showed them the scroll of alchemy. You underestimate the power of faith. Will is enough to affect time. I'm sure that Clegg himself did not expect to make such a terrible thing. Otherwise, he could not have come up with a plan to destroy the gods and make people afraid of him and worship him through destruction. The belief of countless people comes together, which is enough to change the shape of things. Even a skeleton will become a god.
"It's simple, but what's the most important thing?" The pursuer said, "Why does the Andal Church agree with you?"
"They will agree, unless those magic sticks are willing to see the goddess they have worshipped for decades become female slaves under the devil." Leo said, "The name of a 'dessavior' is more beautiful than a bitch that everyone spits, isn't it?"
"Is this your plan?"
"Yes, this is my plan - the God-making plan."
