Chapter 2044? The arrival of the evil god
Ten days passed in a flash.
The Meteor God Fortress was moved to the core of the Kingdom of the Gods.
Of course, that was also the original site of the Temple of the Gods.
Now the Tianwu Dynasty has occupied half of the upper area.
As for the lower-level areas, there is no need to occupy them, as they are filled with ordinary people.
Moreover, more than one-third of them are fanatical believers in the Kingdom of Gods, so there is no value in saving them.
If it was pure faith, it would be nothing.
But if it is a belief that has been brainwashed, then ordinary people simply cannot bear the exhaustion day after day.
Willing power cannot be born purely by imagination.
Although Xiao Tianyang didn't know much about its structure, he was certain of one thing.
That is, the average life expectancy of ordinary people in Xiacheng District is less than 30 years old!
The key is that even if they enjoy a life free from disease and disaster, and have no worries about food and clothing, the life span of ordinary people will not exceed the 40 mark.
If the above is a normal phenomenon, then Xiao Tianyang would write his name upside down.
Of course, it is also the current view that there is no rescue value.
Because Xiao Tianyang and others need to prove one thing when attacking.
For example, if you kill the gods that ordinary people believe in, will their minds be liberated?
After all, the way the Temple of the Gods controls ordinary people is a bit clumsy.
It's just that most people are their believers, and that's not very weird.
But if no one has the thought of resisting, there must be something wrong.
Xiao Tianyang and others doubted whether there was any secret influence.
If they can find the 'key', then they might be able to win over the ordinary people in the lower areas.
From the outskirts of the Meteor God Fortress, fast horses came galloping, bringing up white smoke along the way.
"Urgent report from the front, a large number of evil god legions have been discovered on the Dusk Plateau!"
The news seemed to be given wings and conveyed to the central loft with great speed.
Sun Wu had already received the battle report from the messenger and was walking in from the door.
Xiao Tianyang asked directly: "How is the situation?"
Sun Wu replied: "The No. 13 Army has already fought against the Black Goat's army."
"Now the two sides are evenly matched, and each has its own victory or defeat after three confrontations."
"However, Guan Yu killed Black Goat's second-ranking general, Munro, in front of the battle."
"Our morale is now high and we can win if we fight again."
Xiao Tianyang took the battle report and glanced at it, then handed it to Jia Xu next to him.
Zhang Liang had already escaped from the mission in Douluo Continent and arrived at Meteor God Fortress three days ago.
The two read the battle report as quickly as possible and fell into deep thought at the same time.
Xiao Tianyang did not bother to question them, but looked at Sun Wu.
"Does Shangzhuguo have any ideas?"
Sun Wu muttered: "In front of the first army is the Evil Thought Army."
"That's a legion based on Azathoth's personal guard as a template."
"Its combat power is still unknown."
"The only one who has taken action now is Azathoth's second-largest general, Kunta."
"The person who fought against him was Yang Jiye, and the result was a tie."
Xiao Tianyang frowned slightly and said, "Has the Lieutenant visited the front line?"
"I just glanced at it and didn't gain much."
Sun Wu has multiple teleportation gates refined by Xiao Tianyang, which can be teleported at any coordinate point.
He said solemnly: "However, the quality of its soldiers is far beyond what we thought before."
"If we want to secure victory, we must adopt a second battle plan."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "But once time is delayed, Douluo Continent may not be able to withstand the pressure of the void."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "However, facing the evil god, we don't have much choice."
"The greatest threat to the evil god comes from spiritual pollution."
"If we hadn't prepared in advance, at least half of the soldiers would not be able to go to the battlefield now."
Evil gods and gods develop followers in different ways.
The former relies on distortion to gain strength, while the latter makes it powerful through granting or feedback.
In other words, the way orthodox gods make believers stronger is by giving them seeds of divine power.
That cannot be relied upon by believers to become gods, but it has the possibility of becoming followers of gods.
What they have to do is pure faith and loyalty, and other risks are not high.
If there is, it is also a threat from the outside world and is not caused by the seeds of divine power.
As for the evil god's methods, they are very simple and crude.
It can be summed up in eight simple words.
The fittest become stronger, the losers die.
As long as you can withstand the power increase brought by distortion, there will be no bottleneck in the powerful way.
However, the above benefits do not come without a price.
First of all, most Ye Shen fanatics are crazy.
Secondly, even if they become stronger, they actually won't live for more than a few years.
Otherwise, evil gods have already overrun the territory of Heaven, so how could they need to huddle together for warmth.
As for the power of distortion, it comes from the evil god.
The 'spiritual pollution' Zhang Liang talks about is actually a term for distortion.
The Tianwu Dynasty had dealt with evil gods during its attack on the God Realm, so it had done a lot of research on spiritual pollution.
But now the intensity displayed by the other party is higher than that shown in the God Realm.
Zhang Liang wondered whether the evil god had taken some foreign objects to increase the mental pollution.
Otherwise, why would our own soldiers be unable to adapt?
And his statement was quickly recognized by Sun Wu.
"Actually, before coming here, I had a bird's-eye view of the layout of the evil god's camp from above."
"Although most of the area is shrouded in spiritual black fog, there is one building that was discovered by the veteran."
He took out a sketch from his storage soul guide, and the above content was the scene he saw.
Xiao Tianyang, Zhang Liang, and Jia Xu turned their attention to the sketch on the table.
It was an extremely dark black tower.
It seems to be made up of bones of different sizes.
Jia Xu suddenly pointed to the black bead at the top of the tower and wondered: "Could that bead be the key?"
Before Xiao Tianyang could answer, Sun Wu said: "The black tower should be a magic weapon, and the black beads should be the key."
Immediately, he recounted his experience.
The Evil God camp was well prepared, so it was naturally impossible for outsiders to easily spy on it.
Sun Wu was able to provide the above information because he had a fight with the evil god.
The one he fought with was the Lord of the Netherworld.
Although the other party is not his opponent, his weird and unpredictable methods make him hard to guard against.
However, when Zhang Jiao arrived, the situation was reversed.
Tiangang Thunder is the nemesis of evil things.
Every time the thunder strikes, the Lord of the Netherworld can scream miserably.
But even if Sun Wu used his soul power to form a spear and pierce it, the Lord of the Netherworld would still show a sick smile.
When comparing the two, the degree of restraint is obvious.
The process of the battle does not need to be described in detail.
After all, neither side has gained much, so there is no need to explain.
The purpose of Sun Wu mentioning this matter is to let Xiao Tianyang know about the black beads.
Xiao Tianyang didn’t understand a lot of them before.
But the metaphor made him understand the previous content.
If the black tower is the transmitter, then the black beads are the source of pollution.
If they can solve the black beads, the pressure on the soldiers can slip back to normal levels.
Xiao Tianyang touched his chin and asked: "How many evil god legions are there that have not appeared yet?"
"Eleven."
Sun Wu replied: "The old minister guessed that there should be some agreement between the evil gods."
"At least so far, I have not discovered any strange regiments on the front line."
Xiao Tianyang frowned slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"That means that the Soul Collector and others will not easily intervene before Azathoth and others are exposed?"
Now that there is one less enemy on the battlefield, that may not be a good thing for their situation.
