"You shouldn't ask about foreign gods!"
After the meeting, Russell took Holmes to his room and said angrily: "When the time comes, you will come into contact with these secrets. If you take the initiative to ask, it will only arouse the suspicion of others!"
"Timing, what is timing?"
Holmes sat by the window, holding a pipe in his mouth and asked: "The connections between the Doomsday Party and the Outer Gods are all known to the Apocalypse God System. This is not a secret at all. In other words, if it were not for the contact with the Outer Gods, the Apocalypse God System would
I can’t find any excuse to massively destroy the Doomsday Party!”
"you...."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Russell still understood that Holmes was right.
The deal with the alien gods certainly brought greater power to the Doomsday Party, but it also brought them disaster.
In the past eras, the Doomsday Party was just a clown in the eyes of the God of Faith. It was difficult to have any substantial impact other than waving flags and making noise. Any smart person knows that you can’t overthrow the church with just words. You have to show your strength.
.
How could the Doomsday Party not know the risks of contact with alien gods?
Their opponent is Neleida, the God of Apocalypse!
A master god who can see the possible future!
The little moves of the doomsday party cannot be hidden from Him!
But then again, trading with foreign gods is a unanimous decision made by the Doomsday Party’s senior leaders. If the ruins of the Golden Age are not excavated, the church will not look at them seriously!
"Russell, I know you want to protect me. If you know me well, you should know that I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke and said faintly: "I am helping you. I want to know more about the outer gods."
"More? What more? Didn't the party leader tell you the content of the deal?"
Holmes smiled and said nothing. Russell and the party leader obviously had no idea what information he had collected.
As early as the reign of Lord IV, the Doomsday Party had established a connection with the Kingdom of Windsor. The conversation between Lord IV and James Morea at the Opera House was the key to solving the doubts.
Rhodes IV once said that the Doomsday Party discovered records of the old era in the treasure house of the Cult of Abundance in 6... It is now 7 years ago, including the ruins of the Golden Age.
Three years ago, after the arrival of the gods, the Doomsday Party released the ancient creature sealed under the Pantheon in Rome, which later became the black swan Jinna.
Relying on Jin Na and the psychic White Candle, the Doomsday Party contacted the Golden Gods, obtained a method to enter the core of the ruins, and officially began to excavate the ruins...
If the information about the existence of old era records in the Cult of Plenty's treasure house was provided by the Outer Gods, then it would be reasonable for the Doomsday Party to discover the ruins of the Golden Age. At least the Outer Gods did tell the Doomsday Party the location of the ruins in accordance with the transaction content.
But the problem is that the Doomsday Party not only has a deal with the outer gods, but also with the ancient gods!
According to the history that Ma Wei and others have investigated, decades ago, Minnie, the mirror demon sealed in the world of Avalon, used Merlin's magic to escape back to the real world and guided the doomsday party to dig out the Devil's Gate.
A group of demons were released in advance.
After that, the mirror demon Minnie used Merlin's magic to go to the kingdom of Arabi, the ancient god of wisdom, to find Mavi's soul and bring it back. This happened 6 or 7 years ago.
"When did the Doomsday Party reach a deal with the Outer Gods?" Holmes suddenly asked.
"Seven years ago, why did you ask this?" Russell asked confused.
"just asking."
Holmes made a perfunctory remark absentmindedly, holding a briar pipe in his mouth, his mind spinning rapidly.
Lister, the mentor who went to London to support the Doomsday Party, mentioned the contents of the contract signed with the ancient god.
The Doomsday Party released a few demons in exchange for the ancient god forces telling them the location of the Golden Age ruins, and at the same time gifted some high-level power, and asked the ancient god forces not to interfere and harm the Doomsday Party members.
This is very strange. The party leader clearly said that it was an external god who told the Doomsday Party the location of the Golden Age ruins. Why did Liszt say that the one who leaked the Golden Age ruins became an ancient god?
Could it be that Liszt couldn't tell the difference between ancient gods and foreign gods?
No...
Holmes believes that there is a high probability that only the senior leaders of the Doomsday Party know about the deal with the alien gods. For example, only the twenty-four elders of the Ten Gospels just know about it.
A mid-level mentor like Liszt is not qualified to know the existence of outer gods!
If Neleida hadn't revealed the Outer God, I'm afraid even Holmes wouldn't be qualified to have access to these secrets!
The relics of the Golden Age are simply information revealed by the Outer Gods, and the Ancient Gods are just lies from the top leaders of the Doomsday Party!
Thinking of this, Holmes took a puff of his pipe.
If the content of the contract mentioned by Liszt is false, then what contract was signed between the Doomsday Party and the Ancient God?
How did the Doomsday Party get the method to enter the core of the ruins from the Golden Gods?
Countless doubts and all kinds of unexplainable confusions make the Doomsday Party full of mystery.
Able to move between ancient gods, alien gods, and religious gods at the same time, the Doomsday Party is by no means as vulnerable as it appears!
Holmes even felt that Russell was hiding something from him and not telling the truth.
Likewise, just listen to what the party leader says.
Holmes always felt that he had missed some important clues, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"It's late at night, you should go to bed early."
Russell initially came to ask questions, but he really couldn't get angry with Holmes. He was very loyal, asked questions that were very precise and pointed to the core, and what he said was reasonable. Where should he vent his anger?
There is no reason to get angry at all.
After Russell left, Holmes checked the latch, made sure it was locked, and sat in front of the window to smoke. After finishing his pipe, he knocked off the ashes, closed the window, drew the curtains, and quietly came to the door, holding his breath and listening...
There was dead silence in the darkness, and there was no sound of breathing outside the door. Holmes, who was sure there were no eavesdroppers, dug out a wooden statue of Junia from the suitcase and told Mavey the information he had obtained.
.............................
"News has come back from Holmes."
"How is the situation? Has he found evidence that the Doomsday Party colluded with the Outer Gods?" Levine asked impatiently.
"The Doomsday Party has indeed colluded with external gods. This has been admitted personally by the leader of the Doomsday Party. There is no doubt about its authenticity."
Mawei said: "The problem is that the answer given to him by the party leader conflicts with the information we have collected. The authenticity of it needs further exploration."
If you want to solve doubts and find the truth among countless mysteries, you can only start from three directions.
Either ask the outer gods, ask the ancient gods, or...
Just go find the golden gods.
Only those who have had close contact with the Doomsday Party can know the true content of the contract.
Both the Outer Gods and the Ancient Gods are unreliable. The Outer Gods cannot be contacted at all. Ma Wei doesn't know the method. The Ancient Gods can only use backup plans. After all, it is basic ethics not to reveal the contents of the contract. He wants the Ancient Gods to break this.
Rules must come at a heavy price.
For this reason, the Golden Gods are the best breakthrough point, which is why Holmes sent back clues overnight.
Only when Ma Wei makes a breakthrough can he follow the clues and find the right direction for investigation. This is very important.
When he heard that Ma Wei was going to Atlantis, Levin immediately came up to him and expressed that he wanted to go with him.
Ma Wei did not refuse. He had already visited Atlantis. Although that famous ancient city was full of weirdness, at least the golden gods were kind, sane and did not show any aggression.
Atlantis.
Looking at this huge city that had faded away and turned gray, Levin shuddered.
Atlantis was completely different from what he had imagined, and completely different from other divine kingdoms he had been to. It was lifeless and lifeless.
Everywhere you looked, there was metal flowing with mercury, the streets were filled with thick gray fog, and the air was cold and damp.
Only the Temple of the Sun in the center of the city remains as glorious as ever, exuding waves of warmth and maintaining the operation of the entire Kingdom of God.
"Dad, there are many...monsters here."
Looking around, her eyes penetrated the fog and saw many strange figures. Yunia wrinkled her nose: "They seem to be people..."
"They were once humans." Ma Wei said: "Now they don't know what they have become."
"Is there no danger?"
Levin cheered up, but for some reason, he felt creepy and uncomfortable as soon as he came here.
In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes secretly staring at him.
"Probably not. At least when I came, they didn't attack me... Well, it didn't happen."
"Brother, you seem to have an explanation for your failed attempt..."
"It will be fine once you reach the temple."
Ma Wei raised his head, and an elevator leading to the top of the temple was descending from the flesh. The folding door creaked, as if it would fall apart at any time.
Behind him, the monsters, both human and ghost, were already following him. Levin swallowed and chased Mavey into the elevator. It was not until the folding door closed that the monsters stopped approaching.
The elevator started, and as flesh and blood squirmed, they reached the top of the temple. Heavy breathing came one after another. Before Ma Wei had time to speak, he heard a roar coming from the left:
"Asis! Ahis is here!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"We can't let him leave Atlantis!"
Levin was startled and realized that these golden gods with tubes inserted under their bodies were coming for him. He shouted anxiously: "I am not Asis! Don't wrongly accuse good people!"
"You are Asis! Your smell...your soul...is exactly the same as Asis!"
"He is not Asis."
The main god Clara suddenly opened her eyes: "He is the key left by Asis."
"Then we should kill him! Make sure Asis cannot return!"
"Killing him will only delay the date of Asis's return. Asis will come back sooner or later." Clara looked at Ma Wei: "You didn't come alone, why?"
"I want to ask you about the Doomsday Party."
"The Doomsday Party...."
Chewing on this name, one of the golden gods laughed strangely: "Are they satisfied with the alchemy technology?"
"You tell them how to enter the core of the ruins. Isn't this a blasphemy against your own era?"
"Blasphemy! Ha! You should ask those humans how they behave when they blaspheme us! We don't care about blasphemy at all!"
Ma Wei frowned: "What I want to ask is, what benefits did the Doomsday Party give you to make you willing to open the ruins?"
"You seem to have encountered difficulties." Clara looked at Ma Wei: "I seem to underestimate you. You have already investigated and found out that the Doomsday Party has seen us... and came here specifically to investigate."
"It's not an attack on the enemy, it's just a question." Ma Wei said calmly: "I need to know the truth back then. As the masters of the golden age, why are you willing to help the Doomsday Party? They were once your enemies!"
"Because they can give us the...opportunity we need."
"Chance?"
Ma Wei narrowed his eyes: "What you call an opportunity, I think it has something to do with return."
Clara smiled and said: "You are very smart."
"Do you want to take revenge on humans?"
The smile on her face disappeared little by little, and Clara said in a deep voice: "It's not about revenge on humans, but... unwillingness to do so."
"We were only one step away from success. If we could do it again, we would definitely not fail!"
"Isn't it the Siren's Tears that led to your failure?" Levin said: "If you had obtained the Siren's Tears, would you have been able to complete the breakthrough?"
Clara looked at her companion on the side, "I just said that he is not Asis. It is impossible for Asis to ask such a common sense question."
"You are right, he is not Asis."
The Golden Gods nodded slowly, becoming less hostile to Levin.
"If we can get the Siren's Tears, we can complete the breakthrough, yes."
Clara answered Levin's doubts: "But when we searched the world, we couldn't find the Siren's Tears. It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
Hearing this, Ma Wei and the other two looked at each other and said, "We have the White Candle, and if you are willing to answer our questions and meet our requirements, maybe we are willing to recall you."
She looked at Mavi calmly, and after a long time, Clara said slowly: "I answer you, not because of the conditions you set, but because you have the opportunity to achieve what we failed to accomplish. Is the Tears of the Siren there?"
In your hands?"
"Yes."
Clara showed a relieved smile, but soon the smile turned into self-deprecation: "It's really a trick of fate... the treasure we were looking for so hard was obtained by you so easily."
Ma Wei, who did not want to get too entangled on this issue, asked: "Do you know the contents of the contract signed between the Doomsday Party and the Outer Gods?"
"The Doomsday Party signed a contract with the outer gods?" Clara asked puzzledly: "Why do you think the Doomsday Party signed a contract with the outer gods?"
"I was also shocked at first. How could the Doomsday Party, which wants to continue the destiny of mankind, betray mankind? But that's what happened." Ma Wei sighed.
"No, no, no..."
Clara denied continuously: "I'm asking you, why do you think it is necessary for the Doomsday Party to sign a contract with the outer gods?"
Ma Wei was stunned when asked: "Because of the deal, the Doomsday Party signed a contract with the Outer Gods, and they can get the location of the relics of the Golden Age and the power gifted by the Outer Gods, right?"
"Besides the Doomsday Party, have you ever seen anyone else get the power of an alien god?"
Clara said meaningfully:
"Those Aztecs, can they provide your god with the power of faith?"
"Can your god provide them with magic?"
"If not, why can the Doomsday Party get power from the outer gods?"
