"...Anyway, you should know by now. Whether it is Holy Orders, spells, or psychic powers, they all actually come from the same source, right?"
Lycaon's pale cheeks were so thin that they were even somewhat sunken, and there was a complex expression mixed with self-deprecation and sneer, like a frozen corpse: "Yes... they all come from dusk.
"The white original spiritual energy was polluted into a dim yellow thousands of years ago. The God served by the church, the so-called... aggregate of the 'human group subconscious', has been corrupted thousands of years ago.
"Psychic demons are transformed by psykers polluted by Dusk. The power of the Holy Order comes directly from the sealed dream. Even the spells are also impure - the mages are looking for powerful ones in the 'Second Psionic Network'
There are many 'First Psionics Network', also
They are those "twilight-colored primitive psychic powers" that have been polluted. This uncontrolled power is spells. The difference between them and psykers is that the devil resides in their bodies and the abandoned "first psychic power"
The Internet' is a dream within a dream.
"What does this mean... Susu, you should understand."
Lycaon's voice gradually became less stuttering.
His words became clearer and his eyes became calm.
"Ah, I understand."
Russell nodded: "All the power we have in this era comes from a certain side of dusk.
"——But what does this have to do with the Slaughter of Angels?"
"It has a lot to do with it. We launched the war of teachings and created mechanical angels in order to completely destroy the mage's inheritance. But the mage's resistance was very strong... The big reason is that among those damn name-bearing elves,
A large number of people are mages, and some are in high-level positions in the church.
"Just because of this stupid political reason, we can't do it all at once. As a result, the disaster is left now. Let the legacy of the mage still exist."
"So what?" Russell asked, his tone gradually becoming rude.
He realized that he didn't know where to start...this man no longer seemed to be the "Lycaon" he was familiar with.
——Lycaon would not speak to people with such clear logic.
If he could do that, he wouldn't be so anxious all the time.
And "Lycaon" continued: "The battle of teachings was intervened by the giant dragon. The reason why the dragon judged our victory was simply because they believed that the mage was the more dangerous party.
"The power of the dream world is not unlimited, nor is it free. There is no perpetual motion machine in this world, and even the 'psionic engine' from prehistoric times is just a pseudo-perpetual motion machine.
"Every bit of power the mages dig out of the dream world means the drilling of an oil well. This kind of drilling will undoubtedly destroy the geology - every time the mages dig a hole, it means the 'first psychic network'
The barrier between us has been weakened. This means that the protection of the 'spiritual relatives' towards us has begun to weaken."
...So, the protection of our spiritual relatives was pretty good in the past, but it has gradually become weaker over the years.
Russell understood something.
It's not that after the religious war, the number of psykers suddenly increased - it was because the number of psykers began to increase. The foreboding truth behind this incident made the church decide to start a religious war!
"Knowing these things...don't you still think that we are showing favor to those selfish and arrogant fools by giving them the 'Source of Holy Orders'?"
"Lycaon" sneered: "It can eliminate the corrosion of shadows and improve the resistance to shadows - how could such a good thing appear for no reason?
"You must have studied the source of holy order. Otherwise, you would not know that it is made of angels.
"So, have you ever thought about - why is it gold?
"Or...if it doesn't glow, what color should it be?"
The answer is self-evident.
Russell already understood the truth——
The power of Holy Order is the power of dusk that has been partially purified, so the concentrated original liquid of Holy Order power can only be liquid dusk fragments.
"Those who have used the Source of Holy Order can gain tranquility in a short period of time. Their blue shift will suddenly increase in a short period of time... but that is just a lie.
"When the effect of the drug is over, stronger desires will come to mind. This usually means an increase in 'red shift', and the increase in red shift is greater than that of blue shift - look, after blue shift is raised, red shift is raised,
Isn't this just 'drinking makes you stronger'?
"But you should know it now. The essence of 'red shift' is the degree of pollution by dreams... and 'blue shift' is the limit of withstanding the power of dreams. The power of a psyker is filtered by the devil.
The power of dreams...but the mages do not have the protection of demons.
"Since they want more power of 'Dream', then I will give it to them. After using the Source of Holy Order once, I feel the pure power that can only be obtained by wandering in the dream world for decades, and feel the power in my body.
The tranquility created by the complete removal of the shadows destroyed their endurance and vigilance. Maybe they could endure the loneliness for a long time and feel stronger bit by bit... But if they accumulate strength, in an instant, they can
The time will be easily surpassed, and then they will never be able to calm down again.”
Just like a player who works hard to move bricks.
Spending a lot of time to earn in-game resources and then selling them in exchange for higher-level resources - this feeling is very satisfying.
But if one day, he suddenly finds that he can buy the resources he obtained after moving bricks from X treasure or X fish at extremely low prices, they will no longer be able to enjoy the game.
Because their game time has a "price" from that moment on. An hour, or even an afternoon of struggle, can be bought by others for only a few dollars... and his income for an hour is just a few dollars.
Ten times or even a hundred times, then his real afternoon gaming experience would become so stupid.
——Why don’t I buy more resources?
And this is just a game. Some people can restrain themselves and allow themselves to experience the game wholeheartedly.
But what the mages got was real power.
Under the temptation of the Source of Holy Order, no one can calm down again.
"Whether they are mages or psykers, their abilities are inevitably accompanied by the same side effects - the higher the red shift, the faster the growth. Their rationality craves higher blue shift to control this dangerous power, so they
Soon they become restless again, hungry for new sources of Holy Orders.
"Their strength has increased too fast... and compared to undergoing a long period of self-training and going to the unknown area of the dream world full of dangers for a long adventure of several years, all they need is a bottle of the source of holy order.
Solve all problems.
"Then, will they still calm down and hone themselves?"
This is a conspiracy, an aboveboard conspiracy - just like when intending to maliciously destroy a player's gaming experience, the church did not choose any aggressive strategy, but instead continued to stuff money, stuff, and help the other player.
, acting training.
When the game process continues to accelerate to a certain extent, the game will lose its fun.
The church realized the tenacity and determination of the mages. It could not be defeated in a head-on conflict... so they chose another method to let the mages destroy themselves.
"Those mages don't realize at all, and will never believe that their path is wrong from the root. The more powerful they are, the closer they are to the 'dream'. It probably won't be long before...those mages who continue to use the source of holy order
Their power will continue to expand. After reaching about ten levels of red shift, they will lose their reason and personality and become a new 'demon'.
"——The fate of those psychics thousands of years ago is exactly the same."
There is no turning back on the path of a mage.
The further you go, the stronger you become, but at the same time, you get closer to destruction.
Just like a greedy snake...the bigger it is, the more powerful it is, the easier it is to destroy others, but the easier it is to destroy itself.
As long as the church keeps "feeding experience" to the mages, it will blow them up!
...But what about me?
I also used the Source of Holy Order, but why didn’t anything happen to me?
Russell suddenly paused.
--wrong.
Something happened to him indeed.
The first time Russell awakened to his twilight essence was after "Zhongxiang" used the Source of Holy Order on himself! And his red shift was also stuck at the time... Suddenly the barrier was lifted, and he began to advance rapidly, also starting from using
It begins with the source of Holy Orders!
That's it, that's it...
Everything is right——
The church has never given up the idea of completely destroying the mage inheritance.
Therefore, the Pope clearly knows that he is an angel...but he will use angels to make the source of Holy Orders and sell them to mages.
Therefore, the church obviously does not need any form of cooperation with the mages, and the mages have no interests that can interest the church, but they will make transactions.
Even if the mages realize that something is wrong, the source of holy order can indeed make them stronger, and there is no problem with its source and function - then who can refuse this pie falling from the sky without any price?
Woolen cloth?
Now, there is only one problem.
Russell frowned slightly and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
In an instant, a strange, old face appeared on Lycaon's face.
"I am indeed the Lycaon you know well. But we 'ascended ones' are not alone. In addition to 'Lycaon', there is another consciousness among 'us'..."
"It belongs to [promotion]."
Russell was moved.
Because he remembered this name clearly. It should belong to this generation of popes.
"...promoted to the twelfth generation?"
"No, it's just promotion. Just promotion."
The Pope stood up from his seat.
At that moment, Lycaon's shabby clothes were transformed into a glorious and sacred pontifical dress.
"There has never been any 'promotion to the twelfth generation'. From the very beginning, I have only been 'promoted'.
"Before this, I had another unknown name.
"Back then, people called me 'Father Andrew.' The mages called me...Andrew the God-Deceiver.
"——Yes, I am the inventor of the 'divine descending device'. The first angel."
[Promotion] said calmly: "This is the first time we meet... Sheath's son."
Someone asked me a few days ago if this volume is almost over.
I can only say that although this volume has sixty-five chapters, it is far from the end... Because this volume has a dual perspective and a single theme. In a sense, it is two volumes sewn together, and the volume is about the same.
Double...
I took a look at the outline. This book has about 110 chapters left before it is finished. Counting ten chapters of leave allowance, it should be finished in mid-February.
In other words, there are still two months of updates, but the length of the last volume is only about a month. So this volume will probably take at least two months to write, probably by the end of the month...
But don’t raise a cute brother, you’ll raise a cat to death (shock sound)
...but I said at the end of the updated chapter not to keep books. Doesn’t it feel a bit like asking if you have bought a ticket on the Spring Festival travel train (meditation)
