Chapter 541·Jiang Yu’s opportunity
The eighth locust plague.
The locust plague emerges from the wilderness, a large black swarm of insects. They are the magic effects of Moses, but they are also undoubtedly creations of the black water. While maintaining their small size and clustered ecological structure, they also retain the wisdom, cunning, and ferocity of the aliens.
One of them can easily kill and eat a cow.
If they appear in ordinary modern society, they will inevitably cause a disaster of world destruction - even in some science fiction worlds with a slightly lower difficulty level, they will bring substantial terror.
But it does not include Egypt, whose supernatural lock has been lifted to the eighth level.
No matter how strong they were, they could not pass through the divine light released by the Egyptian priests while chanting loudly. And even if they could, the Egyptian warriors, who had been fully strengthened after the multiple supernatural locks were broken, could easily handle them by the hundreds.
Chu Xuan's harmless script is still in operation.
The locust plague was explained as a derivative of temperature changes caused by a series of previous extreme celestial phenomena - the seventh hailstorm also operated in the same way, and the bursts of wars set off by the reincarnations in Canaan and Memphis served as evidence.
After all, mortals are too easy to fool - they cannot accept too much information, so they can only let the cocoon control their thoughts. The Hebrews in Egypt could only see various natural disasters and the changes in celestial phenomena caused by wars in the far distance. Therefore, they could only believe that the ten plagues were the evolutionary power of nature.
——Hebrews.
Jiang Yu stared at the huge swarm of locusts besieging the city of Pell. The black clouds were being driven away by the golden light, and the shape of the giant beast could be vaguely seen. That was the giant sphinx summoned by the Pharaoh - he had already mastered the ability to summon them during the third plague, but it was not until the fifth plague that he used this ability after confirming that the reincarnations had gone away. strength.
This cautiousness made Jiang Yu feel familiar.
And if the anxiety and concern he showed for his family at the beginning had a higher sincerity, then Jiang Yu could be sure of what was hidden under that skin. But even if we can't confirm it 100% now, it doesn't matter.
The locust plague is dispersing. These crop-eating pests are escaping from Egypt's fields—the Egyptians are holding on to their land, but the Hebrews' farmland is not fully protected.
——You are the subjects of the Horus ritual.
Jiang Yu had no intention of interfering, because he already knew the nature of these Hebrews - Horus set the rule that the Hebrews could not be harmed at will, expecting them to complete the ceremony as the main body. The flow of Exodus. Because after so many cases, Jiang Yu has been able to determine the method of determining the sequence of the ten disasters.
When is the beginning of a disaster, and when is the end of a disaster? What determines this matter is not the feelings of the Egyptians who were the subject of the disaster, nor the objective natural order or the judgment of reincarnations - their beginning and end depend entirely on the common cognition of the 'Hebrews' group. and personal experience, because in the end, only they were able to reach the foot of Mount Sinai.
The Hebrews believed that the disaster did not begin until it began.
The disaster is not over until they experience or witness it personally.
And if the reincarnations of the Central Continent Team did not adopt the current script of "theocratic harmlessness", they would instead encourage other ethnic groups of humans to kill the Hebrews. The pain of war will be embedded in the ten disasters, emphasizing the efficacy of the ritual from another direction.
After all, Yahweh was before he was the Supreme God. The most glorious title is Lord of Hosts. To emphasize this aspect of it is to weaken the aspect of it as the only God.
This was Horus's original script, except that the Middle-earth team didn't use it. Facing a war lord who has lost all his power is certainly a superior option, but if it can be done, wouldn't it be better to weaken all aspects of divinity?
The locusts are gone.
The eighth plague also came to an end. Billions of swarms from the wilderness were defeated by the Egyptians. Their final result was to roughly gnaw away one-third of the Hebrew farmland - they were summoned by Moses with the rod of Yahweh. come out, but cannot be completely controlled by the rod. Because the sanctity of God has been weakened by Chu Xuan's layout, its strength and power have been reduced, and the unsatisfied locust swarms will naturally find ways to fill their bellies.
The Hebrews would be unhappy about this, and if only Moses and Aaron could remain secure in their posts.
——No, they will definitely be able to stay there firmly.
——After all, they are the core of the ceremony, the core of the core. Even if they die, a replacement will appear, so I can consider them to be in a stable position at all times.
Jiang Yu left the observatory.
He followed the dispersing locust swarms and followed them into the sea - there are countless habitable and rich islands in the vast Mediterranean. Although these locusts were driven into the sea by the Egyptians, as creatures of black water, they must be able to find a place to rest before exhaustion.
They can indeed be found.
From Egypt to the north, you only need to find a large, deserted island a few hundred miles away - there are many people living on this island, and their level of civilization is not bad.
Crete.
What lived here was indeed a Bronze Age civilization. They were called Minos and were the source of the Minotaur legend. The archers of Crete were quite famous in the era of Greek city-states. They were good at rafting and used to fight to defend their hometown.
But they don't have a good way to deal with the locusts derived from the black water - among them there are indeed sharpshooters who master witchcraft, and they gradually become stronger as the supernatural power is unsealed. But after all, they were not the Egyptians who were favored by the gods. When the black locust clouds came over, they could only scream and be immersed in despair.
——The locust plague is over.
——Whatever happened on the island of Crete, the Hebrews who were the subjects of the ceremony would not know it.
——So... let me help you and deal with the disaster caused by the black water.
Thunderclouds suddenly formed from the sky, and turbulent waves rose from the calm Mediterranean Sea. And when blazing lightning struck from the sky and the light of destruction covered the ocean, the entire swarm of locusts flying hard on the Mediterranean ushered in death.
The thunderstorm lasted for a full fifteen minutes, and all the locusts died in the thunder field. A large number of charred, dry and yellow insect carcass fragments floated on the sea surface, accompanied by the scorching smell of a huge amount of protein structural chains being destroyed.
The aftermath of the locust plague has been eliminated.
Then, Jiang Yu heard the prayer.
He saw the Minoans kneeling on the seashore in worship. He saw them worshiping the ocean and the dissipating thunderstorm. What they worship is an ancient god of thunder and storms, and the name of this god should not theoretically appear in this place.
【Zeus. 】
The moment he heard the name, Jiang Yu felt some waves of the thunder power in his body - although he started with electromagnetic energy, the foundation of his power was the thunder power. Although the Thor he resonates with is nameless, the nature of his power and his own subsequent development are undoubtedly similar to Zeus, the most powerful of the Thors.
[Thrower of lightning. 】
Jiang Yu's best fighting method is shield and hammer, but his best method of using divine power is throwing spears. Whether it's the Ancient Dragon Thunder Spear skill he masters, or the Spear of Judgment he often throws.
——My opportunity has arrived.
Jiang Yu thought.
Minos was the origin of the Minotaur, and the symbol of Zeus happened to be the strong bull. And if what he expected was true, then there must be something waiting for him in the depths of this ancient island that would allow him to end his own cause and effect.
So……
Put on the long-lost golden armor, and pick up the thunder-wrapped divine spear. The majesty and aura immediately disappeared, and Jiang Yu showed his demeanor and glory as the true Lord of Thunder in an instant - he descended on the beach of Crete. The next moment, all the Minoans were worshiping fervently and cheering for his descent.
They called him Zeus.
They revered him as Zeus.
But he didn't respond, just turned his gaze to the center of the island - on the top of the highest mountain on the island, in the center of the temple. A giant sacred tree, struck by thunder but still alive, was standing and waiting for him.
