Chapter 235·The culprit (two in one)
Godzilla.
In the world view of the legendary monster universe. Modern civilization is based on the geocentric civilization of the distant past. In the distant past, humans and the Titans living in the center of the earth were both allies and enemies - they worshiped the Titans as gods when they were weak. When it is strong, it tries to defeat the giant beast and become the sole overlord within the planet. And all their ambitions came to an end with Ghidorah falling from the sky and the continuous catastrophes.
Not all of them died - the survivors followed the Titans and escaped from the vast fertile soil of the underground world. They lost all past civilization, technology, and will to fight. After witnessing the battle of Ghidorah's seal in the ancient era, they also lost their remaining blood warriors - they worshiped the Titan beasts as gods until the surface of the earth. The environment gradually changed, and most of the Titan beasts fell asleep.
The remnants of the past have become modern humans. The history between humans and giant beasts is gradually blurred and erased in the flow of time.
But no matter what, the traces of the giant beasts' past existence will not disappear easily. And those ancient beliefs will not remain at all due to the changes of the times.
The fact that there is a pagan religion that believes in Godzilla in America's rural town is not a strange thing - it is inevitable and not a coincidence.
As for the coincidence, the reincarnators actually encountered it in the first place after escaping from the predicament.
An idea emerged in Jiang Yu's mind.
A thought that he has because he knows far more than other people.
——It is no coincidence that we will arrive in this village.
——The escape route we determined ourselves was neither driven nor lured. Therefore, this coincidence should not come from the hands of the destined enemy we encountered this time, the three golden dragons.
It can't be Ghidorah, because it can't do that. If it could be done, the reincarnators would not be able to escape from the battlefield at all.
So...two possibilities.
First, this ‘coincidence’ comes from the guidance of the planet’s pan-consciousness. It is the soul of the planet, Gaia. Because in the setting of the Monster Universe. The Titans are not simple animals but ancient gods who survived the Hadean Eon. Among them, Godzilla is the guardian of the planet itself and the king of the gods. Even if it fails and dies, it will be reborn again under the nurturing of the planet itself, and the reason why the reincarnators are lured here is due to the pan-conscious will of the planet itself.
Maybe it's looking for help. It took a fancy to the reincarnators who had "identity" and wanted to use them to deal with this foreign dragon from the other side of the starry sky. As long as the reincarnations follow its guidance, they can unearth the secret treasures of the Titans... and even cure or even resurrect Godzilla, who does not know where he is but is likely to be in bad condition.
This possibility exists, and the probability is not low. It can coexist with possibility two, but it's just not convenient to say directly.
After all, the legendary monster universe is a new setting that only appeared seven or eight years later. There is too much information involved, and it is not very convenient to tell it directly to your companions.
Fortunately... the other possibility can be discussed directly for the time being.
The operation of thinking only consumes a moment of time under the high-frequency thinking provided by the third-level gene lock.
After Zhan Lan said those uncertain words, Jiang Yu nodded confidently after contemplating for a few seconds.
"It was the Lord God who did it." The second possibility is the Lord God.
"Lord God?" Zhan Lan's eyes flashed. With confusion, surprise, and confusion.
"Our start this time is abnormal." Jiang Yu nodded and said: "The difficulty and rewards do not match. We should not face such a powerful opponent in such a short period of time after the opening - there is no reason for us to The moment after, we immediately left Los Angeles and did not participate in any battle with the opponent. In fact, even if we did this, it would be difficult to escape the opponent's long-range curse spell."
He glanced at Mou Gang, who smiled bitterly and nodded - indeed, the initial ultra-long-range curse cannot be protected unless there is a genuine spell caster to counterspell and mark, so that Jiang Yu can withstand the unchanging force. The skill of the shield blocks the path of the opponent's curse. As long as this condition is not met, it will be impossible for Mou Gang to successfully carry the reincarnators to escape from the surface of the atmosphere. And the opponent may not only have a flying behemoth like Xiong Mutuo in their hands - the battlefield may be in the sky, and the reincarnations may be even more uncomfortable.
If you can't run away, it will be even more difficult to resist a chain of nuclear explosions in the air. Therefore, the first battle should be inevitable.
"But this shouldn't have happened." Jiang Yu said, and then explained his thoughts during the previous battle. There is speculation that this enhanced version of Ghidorah may be weaker than the original version, and at the end, a supplement was added that the opponent may have explosive means.
"...That's probably the case." He said, and the setting of 'King of Monsters' was fooled by his guess of the Beast King. His most powerful evidence is that "Ghidora can't hide his head and show his tail." And this alone is actually enough to convince the companions.
"...That's really the truth." Zheng Zha nodded, and the corner of his eye subconsciously turned to where Zhang Jie was. "No matter which version of Ghidorah it is, it has the word pride written on its face. It will not run away from battle, let alone use its own men as consumables, and it will not distinguish between friend and foe when it explodes with nuclear weapons."
"I can't even use magic." Zhan Lan also agreed. "I felt strange when I was spying on the flying monster. The mental power held by the opponent was obviously more powerful than expected, but it did not have even a little bit of mental power to attack and defend. It just relied on its huge power to block me from attacking it. The hallucination and control-'The time-traveling monster Ghidorah is weaker than the original version' is indeed a very reasonable explanation. In this case, maybe we can take advantage of the enemy's visibility and our own secrets to attack Huanglong directly?"
She didn't go to see Zhang Jie, but she knew Zheng Zha was watching. But Zhang Jie just held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the village in the distance. He did not comment on the results of his companions' intelligence analysis and discussions.
And Jiang Yu just nodded slightly, and then shook it again.
"It is necessary to go straight to Huanglong, but not now. Obtaining more information is still our top priority. What's more, there is a high probability that the Lord God led us here."
He straightened the crooked building. Return the center of discussion to the Lord God.
"Remember our previous inference? The Lord God will not deliberately arrange overly complicated tasks for us. If so, then there must be more conspicuous task clues near us. Previously in Los Angeles, that group of weak soldiers should have been able to We quickly learned about the introduction of the basic intelligence of 'International Genetic Technologies Corporation'. However, it lost its original role, because the attack we encountered was inevitable, and we would soon be in contact with Ghidorah's army."
Since it is inevitable, it does not count as an introduction. If the contrast between strength and weakness is incorrect, it means that there is a fallacy beyond the plan of the Lord God. Chu Xuan proved this mistake with his own actions.
That primer didn't work - it wasn't the Zhongzhou team's fault that it didn't work.
Then, there will always be an artificially retarded main god in the right place. It may provide a new clue.
Maybe, maybe not.
But at least, this was a reason that allowed Jiang Yu to convince his companions - he knew that he was only a little smart at best. Most performance is based on foresight. Therefore, if the situation is not inappropriate, then he is quite willing to rely on the "common wisdom" of his companions.
"And I suspect that this is the second clue to guide us arranged by the Lord God." He said, looking at his companions.
His theory is logical, and this guess is obviously tenable.
And the reincarnations also looked at each other -
"Ahem." Finally, he broke the silence. It was Zhang Jie's cough.
"Is everyone finished discussing?" He seemed to have heard nothing.
"When are we going to rest in that town?"
But he has said enough.
Therefore, the reincarnators will no longer stay.
……………………
The town is just an ordinary town. It's more common than people expect.
At this point in time of Jurassic Park, where the twenty-first century begins. This small town is still living in the second half of the twentieth century. Hundreds of single-family buildings, schools, churches, police stations, a small market and fishing ports along the river are all the things in this town that can be called landmarks. At the upper end of the market, there are antennas with considerable specifications, which are the only information interface to the outside world.
The Samsaras shut down America's communication network, but did not cause too much harm to the town. Except for a few middle-aged and elderly people who need to watch TV and listen to the radio and curse there. The fragmentation of information technology has hardly any hindrance to this small town.
A closed town.
It is this kind of small town that is suitable for this group of uninvited guests, such as reincarnations, to settle down. It is this remote place that allows Godzilla's faith to still remain in this land that is already covered by Ghidorah's shadow.
A small town like this should be quite exclusive. Under normal circumstances, a sudden visit from a stranger would just become the beginning of a horror movie.
But reincarnators are different.
Zhan Lan's power can work very well here - after opening the second-level gene lock, her use of mental power has already improved by leaps and bounds. Just like how she had easily disturbed the dragon-born soldiers in the entire war zone through mental fluctuations on the battlefield. She only needs to project her will onto this small town, and she can carry out collective cognitive tampering on this group of people, who total about 1,300 people.
Strangers attract attention, so just switch to locals.
Before the Samsaras arrived in the town, her mind easily compiled the new setting of the Samsaras - as a staff member of the Church of the Ancient God, they were given the opportunity to live inside the church dedicated to Godzilla. qualifications, and group identity.
The reincarnations walked into the town.
The residents of the town were neither indifferent nor enthusiastic. They just nodded when meeting unfamiliar neighbors, or cast a confused look that soon turned into enlightenment. They passed through them just as Zhao Yingkong's invisible black knife assassins were all over the key nodes of the town. Zhan Lan's mental power control skills have also been slightly improved.
She only manipulated people's memories, but ignored the animals' cognition.
Both cats and dogs have detection skills that far exceed the limits of human perception - and when reincarnators pass by them, they will give out high-spirited warning barks.
A small episode, Zhan Lan only needs a glance. It easily modified the thinking and brains of these weak creatures.
but……
——I... seem to have thought of something.
Zhan Lan stared at the modified little animals. In his mind, the fragments of thoughts were spliced, reorganized, and constructed into corresponding shapes.
Animals can detect strangers because they have sharper senses than ordinary people. What's more, the aura of myself and others is completely different from the local people living here.
But how can animals sense my own breath?
It's very simple, it's through the air, through the medium. No matter what went wrong with him and others, they were discovered by the mutated Ghidorah, a barely local dragon. The vulnerabilities of oneself and others need to be communicated through the medium.
On this basis, she, Miss Zhan Lan, should be the one who can easily get through.
——The sustenance of the Holy Spirit.
Zhan Lan's body has long been semi-spiritual. It has a physical body and a pure energy form at the same time, and can switch between them freely. And the shadow that was created not long before this scene started was undoubtedly the most perfect and pure 'isolation coat' formulated by the Lord God. However, in the previous trial that relied on the power of Zhu Wen's prophecy, there was still a possibility that the self hidden in the shadow body would be exposed as long as it left the shielding area.
He can't do it, but Zhao Yingkong's black knife assassin can.
The Black Knife Assassin is Zhao Yingkong's magic creation, so... isn't Ying a miraculous creation created by himself based on the Lord God?
——If... only Ying leaves the shielding zone, will she also be exposed to the other party's prying eyes?
——And...will Miss Xia herself receive the same treatment?
Corresponding thoughts came to her mind. And she felt that she should verify it immediately. Her thoughts were immediately conveyed to Jiang Yu, and after receiving a 'permission' feedback, she pulled Zhu Wen to promote her experiment.
……………………
The information provided by Zhan Lan echoed in Jiang Yu's mind. And it didn't take long for him to get a definite answer.
The shadow... is not perceived by the other party. When Zhan Lan released the state of the Holy Spirit and asked Ying to try. In Zhu Wen's premonition of calamity, she did not catch the change in the concentration of black energy on Ying's body.
Shadow can.
But not Kasumi.
After temporarily transferring the ownership of the Golden Sutra of the Sun, when Xia was near the edge of the shielding zone, the concentration of calamity energy on her body significantly changed.
The difference between the two of them shouldn't be big. They are all configured with T Fusion + Black Water, and Xia is just equipped with two more bloodlines of different specifications. But it was basically from the hands of the Lord God who should not have such flaws.
In addition to this, there is another thing that has been verified. That is, if Zhu Wen herself tries to get out of the shielding zone, the concentration of calamity energy in her body will not change significantly!
It's dark under the light...
Jiang Yu screened all his companions, but missed Zhu Wen, who was a detector, and Ying, a creature whose existence was too special. And when Zhan Lan conducted further verification - he randomly controlled a local person and used it as a container for the Holy Spirit to investigate, and found that he would still be exposed. A relatively vague answer appeared in Jiang Yu's mind.
The reason why reincarnations are exposed is because they have something in common.
What is common among reincarnators does not apply to newcomers and shadows born after the return journey of gods and ghosts.
And then consider what happened to the reincarnators on their journey back to the gods and ghosts. as well as……
——After I defeated Xiong Muto, I felt that inexplicable feeling of improvement that I couldn’t find the corresponding entity. And when cleaning up those Raptor fighter jets, the effectiveness of driving natural thunder increases...
He entered the church.
He saw the Godzilla statue placed in the center of the church, worshiped by the villagers in place of the cross.
His vibrating power swept across the target in an instant, detecting it from head to toe without finding any abnormalities. Zhan Lan's subsequent in-depth scan also confirmed that this was an ordinary and ordinary wooden statue.
but……
--thunder.
From the bottom of her heart, Jiang Yu made a small call to the thunder in nature.
And soon, from the sky, among the ordinary dark clouds, there was a light and muffled sound that was not heavy.
The guess was confirmed.
The unknown things Jiang Yu obtained after killing Mu Tuo. Relating to divinity or divine power. The latter is more likely, because the moment Jiang Yu called for thunder, a strange resonance appeared on the Godzilla statue that had been worshiped by ignorant villagers for who knows how many years.
It's divine power.
The Samsaras and the Titans have something in common, that is, both of them have a certain degree of divine power. And this divine power obviously comes from the temple tour on the way back to the gods and ghosts.
Nine pillars of God, nine blessings.
Among these nine blessings, eight were eliminated along with the escape of the reincarnators. And even if it is not eliminated, when the reincarnations call for full body repair. They are also considered impurities and are removed by the Lord God.
If the divine power is not removed by the Lord God, there is only one possibility - that is, they become part of the reincarnations. If it becomes the power controlled by the reincarnators, it will not be eliminated by the Lord God. And under normal circumstances, this touch of divine power will not have any impact on the reincarnations. After all, in the exchange of the Lord God, there is also the power of God. Even Zhao Yingkong's destined death and the Death Bracelet are considered a category of divine power and divine props, and one of them comes from the God of Death and the other comes from Anubis, but they have no negative impact.
And this proves the alien power that evenly resides in the reincarnators and becomes their power. It also has some special effects.
For example... passively taunting, or intimidating, targets with powerful divine power!
"Set!"
