The Goddess of Doom herself does not know what will happen to the Imasca Empire after releasing the curse of doom.
Because this god's curse of doom does not have an obvious and direct killing effect.
Objects haunted by the curse of bad luck will not be directly harmed by divine power, but everything they encounter will evolve in the worst direction, and a series of natural and man-made disasters will occur under the influence of the divine power of misfortune.
For example, a person who falls may only scratch some skin, but if he is cursed with bad luck, he may break his neck directly.
For another example, an empire in the main material world may have only incurred the dissatisfaction of a few gods because of its arrogance, but under the influence of the curse of doom, they gained the hostility of an entire pantheon of gods.
"Master, a plague has broken out in the empire."
"This plague is extremely contagious and has a long incubation period. It only broke out after almost half of the people in Imasca were infected."
With a tired look on his face, Thorin wore a hooded black robe and met Garen in the Dragon Jaw Mountains.
Plague..........The silver dragon narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Only the Imaskans are infected?"
Garen asked.
Thorin nodded and said: "Yes, this plague seems to only target our Imasca Empire. The empire's great artificers speculate that this is a method devised by some enemies of the empire."
After a pause, Thorin showed a look of numbness on his face and said: "In just two weeks, nearly one-tenth of the ordinary Imaskans have died, and some low-level magicians are also unable to resist the invasion of the plague.
Ran, only intermediate-level weapon masters and above can be safe and sound."
"The foundational system of the empire has collapsed."
"There are corpses everywhere in my Maple Leaf City. There are dead people in every house. There is a putrid smell of corpses floating in the sky over the whole city. What's worse is that some of the dead guys turned into undead creatures carrying the plague and started attacking.
Living people around."
Due to the sudden outbreak of this plague.
The troops sent by the Imasca Empire to conquer Faerûn have now returned to the empire, suppressing them everywhere, sealing off the infected areas, and dealing with the plague with a ruthless approach that prefers to kill the wrong ones before letting them go.
Garon looked towards the direction of the Imasca Empire.
Waves of resentment, unwillingness, despair, and angry negative forces formed a dark cloud of death, covering the airspace of the Imasca Empire like the wasteland of bones. It was clearly midsummer, but the dark clouds composed of death aura were overwhelming.
Blocking all the sunlight, leaving the entire Imasca Empire in a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere.
"This scene... More than a million people in the Imasca Empire must have died."
Garen's heart trembled.
It had just been three months since he saw the incarnation of the goddess of misfortune.
According to Thorin, the plague that swept through the entire Imasca Empire lurked for a long time before breaking out after it spread. Therefore, once it was discovered, it had already brewed to the point of a natural disaster. The Imasca Empire's
The response was extremely quick, but heavy losses were inevitable.
Moreover, the plague has just begun.
"Is the Goddess of Doom so powerful?"
"One incarnation put the entire Imasca Empire into such a difficult situation."
"It's better to have less contact with such a chaotic and evil guy."
Garen thought silently in his heart.
In fact, what Garen didn't know was that with just one incarnation, even though it had a lot of divine power, it would be extremely difficult for the Imasca Empire to encounter a plague on such a scale. The Goddess of Doom was just
A god of moderate power.
At this time, the situation faced by the Imasca Empire was more than just a curse of bad luck.
As the most powerful beings in the multiverse, gods have a certain impact on the world just by their own joy and hatred.
Gaining God's favor can gain God's favor.
Being disliked by a god, even if the god does not take the initiative, will still bring a curse-like effect.
The Imasca Empire was disliked by many gods and had become a land of god-hate. The people and things inside were invisibly burdened with the curses of the gods. In addition, the goddess of misfortune recklessly sacrificed her incarnation to cast bad luck.
Curse, these factors combined to create the current situation.
Gallon is located on the top of a mountain, with its platinum dragon eyes looking in the direction of the Imasca Empire.
Thorin has returned.
Garon asked him to report to him on the plague situation every once in a while.
Time passes quietly.
After being caught off guard and suffering a large number of casualties, the gadget lords of the Imasca Empire spent half a month to finally develop a potion that could curb the plague. The gadget airships flew back and forth in the empire's airspace with howling winds.
, splashing potion like a rainstorm.
The red potion was like blood, covering every city in the Imasca Empire.
As far away as Garon in the Dragonjaw Mountains, you can smell the bad smell of potions and rotting corpses in the air.
Finally, after raging for a month and killing nearly ten million people, the plague that severely damaged the basic system of the Imasca Empire disappeared.
The Imaskan Empire defeated the plague.
Dawn breaks, dispersing the clouds.
But what they didn't know was that this plague was just the beginning.
Since the casualties were mainly ordinary people, most of the low-level artificers were seriously ill, and not many died in the plague. The high-level power of the Imasca Empire was still relatively intact. The empire still had extremely strong influence at this time.
Strong combat effectiveness, but dealing with the aftermath of the damage caused by the plague is destined to require a lot of time and energy.
The reduction of half of the population also brought waves of trouble to the Imasca Empire.
"Master, I can no longer come to the Dragon Jaw Mountains recently."
"The imperial royal family is going to summon all the gadget lords to the capital to discuss ways to solve the population problem, and I am one of them."
One day, Thorin reported the news to Garen.
After hearing Thorin's words, the silver dragon's eyes became sharp and bright.
Garen recalled the scene of Shadow of Time in his mind.
He remembered that the Imasca Empire was destroyed because of slaves.
The reason why the Imasca Empire began to enslave slaves was precisely because of the sharp decline in population.
After thinking for a few seconds, Garen showed a meaningful smile to Thorin and said: "Thorin, you proposed to the imperial royal family to plunder a large number of slaves to make up for the lack of labor force at the bottom of the empire."
"Use all your efforts to get the imperial royal family to adopt this opinion as soon as possible."
Thorin was slightly startled.
He thought for a while and didn't understand what Gallon's intention was.
But Thorin didn't ask stupidly, he just had to do what he was told.
"As you wish."
Thorin left.
"Soon."
"Imasca Empire, I will witness your glory and end."
With a whisper, the silver dragon retreated into the darkness and continued to wait patiently.
at the same time.
Thorin has arrived at the imperial capital.
Perhaps because of the bonus of his appearance, this guy has a good talent for making friends. Thorin maintains relatively good trade relations with many gadget lords. After going to the capital of the Imasca Empire, before officially starting to discuss the parliament
, Thorin found the gadget lords he knew well and lobbied them for Garen's idea.
To Thorin's surprise, the effect was remarkable.
As soon as the idea of plundering slaves was put forward, it was approved by many gadget lords. Some gadget lords who originally had their own ideas quickly turned to support Thorin after hearing about Thorin's method.
In the end, the method of plundering slaves and replacing the grassroots Imaskar people with slaves of other races won with an overwhelming advantage, and gained the approval of the imperial royal family in a very short period of time.
Lin received a great commendation from the empire, and his influence in the Imasca Empire increased a lot.
Thorin couldn't believe how everything went smoothly.
God knows why the gadget lords with different personalities have extremely unified ideas on this matter.
Thorin accepted the imperial award with a flattered expression on his face, but in his heart he thought of the meaningful smile on the silver dragon's face.
Under the warm sunshine, he suddenly felt chilled all over.
"Slave, under the suppression of the artificer, how did the slave destroy a magic empire?"
Garen looked at the shadow of time in the Imaskar Ring again.
When the Imasca Empire was finally reduced to ruins, the shadow of time was disturbed, leaving Garen unable to figure out what happened to the Imasca Empire in the end, but he already had a vague guess in his mind.
"Gods are not easy to mess with. The Imasca Empire is bringing this upon itself."
Garen shook his head slightly.
Not long after, Thorin returned from the capital of the Imasca Empire.
"Master, the imperial family has adopted your suggestion."
After a trip to the capital of the empire, Thorin was even more in awe of Garen after experiencing what happened.
His body trembled slightly, he crawled in the shadow left by the dragon, lowered his head and said.
Garen looked down at the almost legendary lord of gadgets with a dull gaze.
"Thorin, you seem to be about to become a legend."
The silver dragon said in a low voice.
"Yes, the empire has rewarded me with many good things. It won't be long before I can become a legendary weapon master."
Thorin raised his head, looked up at the majestic and unfathomable silver dragon, and said: "After I become a legendary weapon master, I can do better things for you, master."
"At this time, I have gained the favor of the imperial royal family. If it were not for my lack of strength and the fact that I have not yet become the lord of gadgets, the empire might give me the right to use a secret weapon of Imaskar."
The strength of Thorin's senior weapon master is not worth mentioning among the lords of weapons.
In the Imasca Empire, there are even several magical creations whose combat capabilities are comparable to those of demigods.
This is also the reason why Garen does not want to show his face.
He is self-aware that without the use of Time Dragon Countercurrent, he cannot deal with demigod-level enemies.
Demigods are the lowest level gods.
But the lowest god is also a god.
Possessing demigod-level power in the main material world is a very scary concept. Even if the magical creations are not as rich in means as gods, they simply possess the destructive power of demigods, and they are still powerful weapons that can sweep across Faerûn.
"Where does the Imasca Empire plan to plunder slaves?"
Garen asked.
When watching Shadow of Time before, there was something that puzzled Garen.
Due to the inhumane oppression and ruthless exploitation of slaves by the gadget lords, the slaves in the Imasca Empire suffered heavy casualties, but the number of slaves did not decrease at all. Magic ships continued to transport large quantities of goods to the empire.
Lots of slaves.
After hearing Garen's words, Thorin gave an answer that surprised Garen.
"The imperial royal family decided to send a magic fleet to capture slaves in other main material worlds."
I see.
Garen nodded. After finally understanding the doubts in his heart, it seemed as if a stone had been removed from his heart, and he let out a comfortable breath.
"Why not capture slaves in Faerûn?"
With the strength of the Imasca Empire, although it has been traumatized by the plague, it is still relatively simple to obtain some biological races as slaves in Faerûn.
Thorin whispered: "The empire believes that the gods are behind the outbreak of the plague."
"In order not to arouse the hostility of the local gods, the imperial royal family decided to go to other main material realms."
After a pause, Thorin said solemnly: "And in order to have the power to resist when encountering the gods' malice in the future, the legendary artificers of the empire are studying faith and studying extraordinary divine power."
Good guy......Studying supernatural powers.
Who will die if you don’t die?
Garen really didn't expect that the Imasca Empire would be so bold.
He had just been retaliated by the gods, so he just kept a low profile. Instead, he directly used the gods as imaginary enemies to study the power of the gods. Garen could guess it with his own toes. Now the angry eyes of the gods were all on his face.
Staring at the Imasca Empire.
This......Garen really doesn't know what to say about this Ordnance Empire.
The courage to consider gods as enemies is commendable.
But it is so foolish to despise the supreme being.
"Go back, use your power to promote the implementation of this matter, and support the actions of the magic fleet."
Garon issued an order to Thorin.
Garen knows the general trend of history, and if he follows the trend and intervenes to push the wheel of history, the day of destruction of the Imasca Empire will be greatly advanced.
At this point, three years have passed since Garen came to Faerûn.
The energy of the Gate of Time and Space is still several decades away from being fully charged.
"I want to see the end of the Imasca Empire before the gate of time and space is filled with energy."
The silver dragon closed its eyes.
Under his absorption, the River of Time reluctantly emitted strands of power of time, charging the gate of time and space bit by bit.
Galleon's time was mainly spent on the Gate of Time and Space.
If he wants to absorb the power of time, he must now concentrate all his energy and consume a lot of time.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
The Imaskar Empire locked onto several prime material worlds populated by many humans.
At the same time, the land of Imasca ushered in the first snow after the plague.
White fairy-like snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the earth with a light silver coating.
Facing the first snow, the magic shipyard of the Imasca Empire was activated. The plane portals were opened one after another. One after another, sophisticated magic ships set sail, leaving Faerun and heading to other main material worlds.
The powerful magic fleet gallops and wreaks havoc in the backward main material world.
Spring and summer turn around, and time flies by quietly.
Now every once in a while, a magic ship fleet carrying a large number of slaves returns. The population of the Imasca Empire gradually recovers due to the recruitment of these slaves, and it has a larger population than before.
The attitude of the Artifact Lords towards their slaves is completely different from that towards the people of Imaskar.
The Imasca Empire does not need to consider the satisfaction of slaves, nor does it need to provide them with medical care, education and other benefits. After obtaining a sufficient slave base, the number of magic ship sailings begins to decrease, and the gadget lords separate
He seduced some people and forced slaves to breed like pigs and dogs.
The living environment of slaves in the Imasca Empire is like hell.
Based on the blood and bones of slaves, in just five years, the Imasca Empire restored its former glory. Because slaves could be summoned even after death, the empire even surpassed the national power before it was swept by the plague.
At this time, with a large enough slave base, the Imasca Empire no longer needs too many slaves.
They closed the magic dock, and the magic ship that could travel across planes was parked.
Just like the shadow of time seen by Garen.
After possessing a massive labor force, the Imasca Empire began to indulge in the construction of super giant wonders like giant structures. One after another, extremely majestic giant wonders with different shapes and functions appeared one after another on the land of the Imasca Empire.
above.
Through Thorin's report, Garen knew that the creation of giant contraptions actually had a deeper meaning to the empire.
They want to create a mechanical god!
While creating giant wonders, with the deliberate promotion of the imperial royal family, a trend of praying to these giant wonders emerged in the Imasca Empire. The imperial royal family planned to use machines as containers of the power of faith to build imperial machines.
god.
It is unclear whether it will be successful, but this crazy idea of the Imasca Empire made Garen feel shocked and admired.
They may be overestimating their capabilities.
But this courage deserves respect.
"A human empire that is arrogant, crazy, and arrogant...but at the same time makes people look at it."
After learning about the Imasca Empire's mechanical god creation, Garen thought silently.
If the Imaskar Empire succeeds, it will directly change the pattern of the multiverse and greatly threaten the dominance of the gods.
Therefore, this gadget empire cannot succeed.
at the same time.
The oppressed slaves, whose lives were worse than death, prayed to their gods.
Suffering and suffering made their faith more pious.
However, the Imasca Empire had anticipated this situation, and while they were capturing slaves on a large scale, they were building a pyramid-like spectacle.
Imasca is truly an empire of wonders. Nine wonders pyramids hundreds of meters high are located around the empire, forming an extremely powerful dimensional barrier that blocks the slaves from praying and calling to their gods.
, and at the same time cut off all connections between the continent of Faerûn and the world they had visited.
More than ten years later, the Imasca Empire reached unprecedented glory and prosperity.
But at this time, the imperial royal family no longer had any interest in dominating Faerûn. They used a lot of manpower and material resources to create huge structures and wonders that could be called miracles.
According to Thorin, the idea of creating a mechanical god has the possibility of success.
Because one of the most popular humanoid giant structures in the imperial capital successfully gained a trace of faith a year ago.
This means that only if the dimension of time is long enough, this giant wonder has a chance to become a mechanical god.
With the ability of an artificer, they can create a mechanical god, which means that if they have enough material resources, they can create an army composed of mechanical gods. If they can succeed, in the future, Imaskar
The name of the Empire will ring throughout the multiverse.
but.
The Imasca Empire has no future.
On an afternoon with dark clouds and lightning and thunder.
The silver dragon walked out of the dragon's nest, braved the wind and rain, and climbed up the mountain.
Garen looked at the splendid Empire of Strange Weapons, and the outlines of some super giant strange weapons could be vaguely seen in his field of vision.
When he learned that the Wonderful Pyramid was built, Garen understood how the glorious empire of Imasca would come to an end.
Slaves who have been oppressed for nearly twenty years, what will happen if their miserable wails and calls reach the ears of their gods?
"It's time to take action."
"Welcome to the grand finale."
The hunter who had been dormant for a long time showed his claws here.
call!
In the continuous rain, a 48-meter-long silver dragon spread its wings.
Immediately, the huge silver dragon left the Dragon Jaw Mountains, tearing apart the heavy rain and strong winds in the sky, and flew towards the nearest strange weapon pyramid under the dim sky.
