The Four Gods of Chaos were born from emotions. Theoretically, as long as there are any intelligent creatures with independent self-thinking ability and many emotions in the world, they can continuously obtain power.
Regarding how to cut off their source of power, Asuyan and other ancient gods once put forward three ideas.
The first is to kill all mortal creatures and turn them into undead creatures.
And for the sake of safety, it cannot be high-level undead creatures such as lichs or vampires. It is best to be the lowest-level skeletons and zombies that have no self-awareness at all.
The second method is to kill all mortal creatures and then transform them into constructs such as Death Guards.
Both of these ideas are aimed at removing fuel from the cauldron, cutting off the energy source of the Four Gods of Chaos, and then finding ways to seal or kill them.
After killing the four gods of chaos, the gods can create a new race and start the reincarnation again.
To a certain extent, the Lizardmen are also an attempt in this regard, but they are still not extreme enough.
This is because senior leaders, such as Demon Toads or Kuja, still have relatively rich emotions. Ordinary Skinks, because of their relatively high intelligence, will also have many emotions such as anger and grief after their companions die in battle.
However, both of these possibilities were rejected, even the gods related to death did not agree.
All in all, the secret merchants were indeed well prepared this time, and Li Wei was quite satisfied with the products, so he was also generous.
These little guys, no longer than fingers, are only level 0. They look like mechanical hummingbirds. Apart from being able to fly, their other attributes are terrible.
As the name suggests, they are constructs made of a special kind of magical mercury.
Secondly, it is said that they were first created by the ancient fire demon Surtur and the evil fire giant lords, so they are inevitably contaminated with some evil characteristics.
If they can't fly, they won't be able to take the initiative in combat. Moreover, once they use a crossbow or throw a spear, and launch part of the magic mercury that makes up their bodies, their defense and other aspects will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
Clockwork dragons and other gadgets were also manufactured in large quantities by Levi and handed over to the colony, Lahmia City, the Underdark, Thorn Town, and part of the Red Brotherhood.
While most other places were engulfed in war, Dread Rock maintained rare peace and security, and they could not waste this opportunity.
Anyway, he already owed Khalida so much, so there was nothing more he needed.
This was also due to the deal with Illidan. Levi gave Illidan all the extra demon hunter job transfer tokens he had on hand, and Illidan provided some soul fragments.
Normally, constructs are mostly neutral, and their actions will depend on the master who drives them.
The next time we encounter enemies such as Bone Dragon and Ghost Dragon, they won't be as helpless as the Sphinx to fight back.
However, it is still very difficult to rely on them to defeat them.
The specific manifestation is that they like to kill their opponents on the battlefield instead of solving them all at once, which is likely to create opportunities for the enemy to counterattack.
But Levi no longer plans to get involved in this matter in the future. He will leave it all to the tomb technician Harpuros and some of the tomb apprentices he recently recruited. After all, this is not difficult in the first place.
Of course, Illidan does not have the Nine Volumes of Nagash, but with his strength and wisdom, it is not difficult for the demon hunters under his command to obtain similar abilities, so this will become a long-term deal in the future.
Unless the gods actively embrace the four gods of chaos, the four gods of chaos cannot corrupt the gods.
But the secret magic merchants also came up with a solution, which is to let the mercury giants stay in places with strong fire elements for a period of time, such as volcanoes, to purify their bodies.
The combination of the two makes their combat effectiveness even more powerful.
The environment there was the most suitable for practicing fire magic. They also gained the divinity of fire, and Li Wei gave them the Book of Thousand Laws, so even if it didn't take long, they all gained something.
Compared with ordinary war horses, they are not feared by monsters, are not easily injured, and their charging power is also higher.
But for Levi, this is not a big problem. The remaining power of Gru, the Lord of Fire, can continue to support the existence of the small fire plane for a few years.
While he was busy, others were also busy.
It can even be said that these two moves alone are destined to ensure that the growth rate of the Shadow Messengers will not be too slow. All that remains is to learn to save their lives on the battlefield.
In addition to armor and weapons, warriors only have some potions at most.
In addition to being able to learn conventional magic like normal mages, as well as several life-saving shadow magics, Shadowbringers initially possess two types of enchanting Shadow Razors, which can enchant a single target and multiple targets respectively.
The first is a five- to six-meter-tall, level 7 mercury giant.
Because multiple clockwork repairmen can repair one structure at the same time.
And probably to save face, they really got some high-end goods this time.
With continuous recuperation, in addition to towns and ports, we already have enough strength to open up more areas.
Even if there are people with evil intentions such as Faun Paine and Dracula who cooperate with the Four Gods of Chaos, from a macro perspective, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, if these two paths are chosen, the believers and petitioners in their Kingdom of God will also be wiped out. This price is too high.
The first is the common problem of most constructs - speed and flexibility, which is difficult to solve.
Without these two advantages, even if there are differences in some other aspects, the God's Chosen Heroes can be completely replaced, and even the Sons of God may do better.
According to the current progress, it may not be long before she can truly recall the power belonging to Master Yufeng, and by then she will definitely be able to add another strong support to her side.
Because even an evil god like Cyric would not want to see the Four Gods of Chaos destroy the world.
Moreover, Li Wei also put a little effort into creating two major types of clockwork dragons.
Zhou Miyin and Kyle are trying to return to the colony by land. They have already fought more than a dozen battles with aborigines from various races and the God-chosen heroes.
One is to train troops, and the other is to collect soul fragments for Li Wei. At the same time, it is also to help Li Wei inspect and see if those elegans are lazy.
So Levi just borrowed some money from Khalida, and then asked Michaela to start planning to build a magic tower on Fear Rock to serve more and more mage units in the future.
Looking at it now, the frequent appearance of demons under the Four Gods of Chaos has indeed brought certain disasters to the main world.
The second item is sacrificial repair, which repairs 20 points of the target's health at the cost of complete damage to itself.
From the current point of view, the little guy not only has high potential, but also works very hard. The future is worth looking forward to.
The other one is much cheaper and adopts the path of small profits but quick turnover, which can be regarded as creating a way of making money for Fear Rock.
The former is used for learning, and the latter is used for experiments, not only to experiment with magic, but also to make magic potions and magic props, etc., which all cost money.
All in all, compared with sphinxes, their health points are slightly weaker, but their defense and magic resistance are stronger, and their weapon types are more flexible. They will definitely have a certain effect the next time they have a chessboard battle.
Therefore, many ancient gods knew about the existence of the Four Gods of Chaos, but they never really made up their minds to deal with it.
But she doesn't have any dissatisfaction, because following Malus, she will always be just a first officer, and she will always have to be careful of the various conspiracies of other dark elves who want to take his place. But now she is the unshakable admiral!
The resources consumed were not worth mentioning in his opinion, but the results obtained were very good.
So Li Wei bought all 7 mercury giants at once, and told the arcane merchants that he could buy these mercury giants in unlimited quantities, but he wanted the manufacturing book of the mercury giants even more.
After using up 3 times, they need to go into deep sleep for 12 hours to restore the 3 usage times, or directly wait until 0 o'clock every day for automatic recovery.
Sonia has recently been working on recruiting and training volunteers, hoping to expand the number of vampire slayers and demon slayers.
The third option is even more unreliable, and that is for all members to ascend to the gods.
Levi gave one of the Titans captured from Manfred to Khalida, and gave the other two to Harpulos for him to try to study.
Lilith didn't know the specific details. She only learned from the few words left by Asuryan that the ancient gods did not simply seal the four gods of chaos, but "reduced their dimensions".
If he wants to truly fight against the Bone Dragon, Levi still needs to find more flying units.
Their armor, or shell, may not seem abnormal, but in fact it is flowing inside almost all the time, so it is extremely resistant to both magical and physical attacks.
Regardless of the initial attributes or bonuses brought by divinity, they are far better than ordinary God-chosen heroes.
In comparison, the cost of changing jobs is nothing.
Li Wei's current requirements are not high. He just needs to establish some warning posts at multiple key locations.
The God-chosen heroes grow extremely fast, but if they were replaced by some divine sons and goddesses, it would definitely be even faster.
In fact, more is not impossible, but mages need different resources than ordinary warriors.
As level 0 constructs, their weekly recruitment limit is 100.
Especially Sefa, her progress is particularly exaggerated. She has comprehended multiple high-level magics one after another, and recalled a lot of knowledge about demons and devils.
Mikaela, Sefa and Sally, as well as some blood elf mages, all went to the previous fire elemental plane.
Elegy, Donna, Cindy and others have traveled to the Kingdom of Two Moons many times.
While Alyssa was busy with government affairs, she also brought along her little follower Alice to teach by words and deeds through practical actions.
But Li Wei may still be the only exception, because he is a celestial mystic and is expected to become a god.
But supporting hundreds of gods in so many planes is already very hard. Now almost every time a new god is born, the domain of the old gods is weakened, and the world is no longer able to support more gods.
For ordinary cavalry, this may help them launch a unified group charge.
It wasn't until the being from another world arrived that they had a fourth solution.
But this is not absolute. Golems may also have alignment tendencies.
So Li Wei thought about it and allowed her to go to Bitao Village freely to contact the half-elves and humans in the colony.
It's just that she was on the aggressive side before, but now she prefers to be passive defensive.
Although the initial damage is not high, the growth rate is not low, and because it is activated quickly and affects a wide range, it is also a good magic that helps gain experience points.
If it takes a long time, this is likely to have a certain impact on the mercury golem.
This was not a big deal to her. When she originally followed Malus, she often had fights with him.
Once used, Levi can create a perfectly tame, never-tiring mount made of metal - a clockwork war horse.
The Four Gods of Chaos may still have greater potential than all the other gods, but they can be killed just like the other gods.
Although it didn't last long, the sales volume also confirmed his previous speculation, and few people could refuse this gadget.
Heroes chosen by the gods can be resurrected quickly, but as long as the gods are willing to spend a little power, mortals protected by them can also be resurrected.
The threshold for job transfer was not high, so Levi arranged fifty job transfers in one go and assigned them to various teams.
Finally, as they continue to fight, their weapons will inevitably come into contact with the energy and blood of many enemies and bring them back to their bodies.
But now everyone can feel the turmoil in the entire main world very intuitively, so everyone is working hard to become stronger, not only to deal with future threats, but also to not hold back Li Wei.
But if it were Penthesilea, even if this number was enlarged 10 times, it would still not be a big deal to her.
As long as Levi is given a little time and recruits tens of thousands of Clockwork Repairmen, theoretically, even if the Sphinx has only 1 point of health left, it can be restored to its peak condition instantly.
But similarly, this also made other gods aware of the threat posed by the Four Gods of Chaos, and then took corresponding actions.
Since they are made of magical mercury, they can exert very powerful combat power against most evil and incorporeal enemies such as ghosts.
The disadvantage is that they need to use elemental crystals to drive, have poor jumping ability, and their movement speed always only has two fixed gears, one is small steps and the other is full charge.
Although the process is not smooth, I believe that after they successfully return, their strength and experience will be improved to varying degrees.
But for some units that have special requirements for mounts or hero-level units, this will appear to be more fatal.
After spending a few days, he enriched his structure. In addition to the ordinary death guards, Snake Girl and Sphinx also made corresponding additions.
For example, in the previous battle at Bafeng Mountain, Levi lasted for dozens of hours, and his body in the outside world could not bear it.
Similarly, part of their bodies can also be shaped into weapons, battle axes, swords, shields, spears, and even bows and crossbows, all of which can be transformed.
This ensures that they can flexibly transform into weapons and carry out targeted attacks when targeting different types of enemies.
For others, this may be a bit of a problem, because the places with the most volcanoes in the overworld are basically dark places where the Chaos Dwarves live.
Then they immediately took out a book on how to make a clockwork war horse.
After reaching level 3, they can learn the magic known as the miscellaneous killer - the hazy pendulum, which can move across the battlefield like a pendulum, easily injuring dozens of people.
The secret merchants naturally responded one after another. As a race of merchants, they will do their best to meet the requirements of their guests.
Lunala commanded the Black Ark and fleet, and fought several battles with snakemen, vampire pirates, etc.
One uses precious materials, is familiar, durable, and has a very gorgeous appearance, and can even serve as a work of art. It mainly takes the high-end route.
In fact, at this point, the God's Chosen Heroes are actually of little use, because everything about them can be replaced.
Of course, they are not perfect.
In addition, Li Wei also received the mysterious merchants who came as promised at Fear Rock.
For example, those created in places such as Paradise Mountain and Elysium may be of the good camp, while those from the Abyss and Nine Hells may be inherently evil.
Because if there are no mortal things, what fun would they have? Can they command the skeleton soldiers to perform pantomime?
Even if life can be created, it will take many years to restore it to its current state.
The ancient gods paid such a high price, so where did all the believers in their kingdom go? Did they really disappear with them?
Or are they reborn in a special way?
Every time the God-chosen heroes die, part of their soul consciousness is consumed. Is it possible that they can join this world wholeheartedly in some way?
The arrival of the God-chosen heroes was a special inducement created by them. Their emotions seemed to have awakened the Four Gods of Chaos in a weakened state in advance.
As for the last part of the information, or more precisely, Lilith's guess, it was about the God-given building, the many types of troops that could be recruited in it, and the God-chosen heroes.
Although it involves too much knowledge and is too high-end, it is almost impossible for him to achieve anything in a short period of time, but what if?
Then Levi used the power of the Dark Mentor to transfer some of his subordinates into special legal professions - Shadow Messengers.
However, if there is an order from the master, they will still give priority to the order, which is not a big problem.
But compared to these two professions, the elves on the island wanted to become legal units, so her progress was not smooth.
It sounds ridiculously weak, right? But it's not actually the case.
But they have two special skills. The first is the repairing touch. They come with it 3 times and can restore the construct's health by about 5-10 points each time.
Probably because they witnessed the many constructs sent by Li Wei last time and knew about Li Wei's love for them, the secret magic merchants specially helped Li Wei search for several related items.
Luna and Kerilian began to join forces with the wing elves. While guarding the railway, they also began to eliminate various enemies on the island.
Mercury giants also have a special absorption ability. If they are attacked by an enemy's magic weapon, they may absorb the magic effects above and attach them to their own weapons.
Since the blood elves gathered in large numbers towards Dread Rock under the call of Kyle and Sally, and the wing elves became more and more friendly towards Levi, it was easy for Levi to gather these people.
Most importantly, if you want to cultivate excellent mages, you usually need to prepare a magic library and magic laboratory.
It is entirely possible if these mercury golems turn into the evil camp, betray directly, or even swing a knife at Levi with their backhand.
This ensures that even level 1 Shadowbringers, even if they only serve as auxiliary mage on the battlefield, will definitely have no shortage of channels to gain experience points.
But mages need more. Consumables such as staffs, magic books, elemental crystals, magic scrolls and potions all cost money.
Even out of some consideration, Levi did not share all the information about Lilith with everyone, but selectively revealed an insignificant part.
Finally, there is the Clockwork Repairer Factory. As the name suggests, this is a special god-given building that can recruit clockwork repairmen.
After knowing so much information, Levi worked harder. This was a danger, but it was also an opportunity.
In addition to trading in the constructs he made, he also allowed arcane merchants to purchase some dinosaurs.
Mystical merchants also need guards and mounts, and these dinosaurs look quite majestic in appearance.
So after a transaction, both parties were happy, and the arcane merchants had finally made a decision to establish stable business relationships with Fear Rock in the future.
Just because of the characteristics of their race, it is impossible for them to visit frequently. It is estimated that they can come once every month or two. They will not only serve Li Wei.
