After Michus returned from the Demonic City, the blockade of the 'Kingdom of God' was lifted by the system.
The current pseudo-gods of the system all live in the twisted space in the back hall of their main temple. Of course, the physical body still lies in the initial cave under the City of Dawn, which is the starting point for us and the real birthplace of the players.
'.
But that place is already a restricted area. Not to mention the false gods like them who are separated by one layer, even Artemis, the 'guardian', cannot go there casually.
The Kingdom of God is very small and simple, with only a few souls of aboriginal believers living here after death. For them, Michus used the soul power and faith value returned from the system's "rebate" to create this space and turn it into a
Must...at least be able to meet the minimum requirements and fulfill the crucial commitments of the faith!
A fake-looking mountain peak with jagged model lakes all around its edges, just like a model rendered by a low-end graphics card. The land extending out of the mountain peak is vast, but it also has the same problem - fake.
In the farmland, a petitioner of Misius is working, sowing seeds and harvesting them in the blink of an eye. The heavy ears of wheat are printed with the joy of the petitioner's harvest. On the hillside in the distance, there are rows of beautiful and neat rows.
In this house, less than a hundred believers live here, bathed in the holy light shining from the mountain peak. The main task they do every day is to worship the mountain peak, hoping that one day they can sublime themselves and merge with their own gods until eternity.
That is the highest realm that believers pursue, and it is also the ultimate belonging in the "contract" of faith.
The temple on the mountain is much more realistic, but the interior of the huge building complex looks very empty. There are not many collections, and there are no Holy Spirits, angels, etc. to serve the gods. In order not to look so lonely, Michus made
We have created some NPCs that are like system functions, giving them various identities, races and roles to decorate their appearance.
Not only does she do this, but other pseudo-gods in the system also do this. The NPCs come to join in because they don’t have enough background, not because of their vanity, but because of practical needs.
As soon as the blockade of the 'Kingdom of God' is lifted, Michus can 'listen' to the 'connection' requests sent from various temples, but she is very irritable now and impatiently drives away the 'dolls' who come to pray and praise.
', walked straight into the apse.
The apse is Michus's living room, and another 'Mithius' is already waiting anxiously inside.
In a small but dark pool, the all-black version of 'Metheus' was outlined by the dark liquid. She walked out of the fountain water, faced the approaching Michus, and asked anxiously: "
How about it, did he find out?"
Michus glanced at her with disgust at first, then let her pass without saying a word and walked towards his throne.
"He should have discovered it, but he won't do anything, Jie Jie..."
Misius sat down on the throne, and the sounds of prayers from the players followed. She began to process various 'requests', just like a computer server that can handle many, many thread tasks at the same time, responding to various requests from clients.
There are those who pray for protection, those who ask for help, those who need her to respond during missions or even send "doppelgangers" to appear, there are those who are "nagging" from intelligent NPC priests, and there are also aborigines who sincerely come closer to her...
The player's prayers are always utilitarian and do not help her much. Intelligent NPCs do not have souls. Their sources are the same as those pseudo-gods. They are just tool people, so don't worry too much. There are only aboriginal people, only the original people.
residents...
"According to his plan, it is impossible for the player's soul to be handed over to you. Those of you who are called false gods are just talking about it. Why? Because this model of the magic network and the player violates the most important exchange rules in faith.
, what can you give the players? What can the players give you? You are just some tools, just tools."
"God is the only one for believers, the spiritual and soul sustenance, and the ownership of the soul after death. Players? No! Can you change it in the future? No! So what are you still hesitating about? It's not asking you to betray him,
But let you put more energy and resources on those local lambs..."
"Shut up, you're noisy!"
"Am I not you? Stop being hypocritical. You should know that everything I say is true."
"Now that the system has discovered it, what else do you think I can do?"
"Didn't you come back safely? The Magic Network and him are at a very critical moment. You can be more bold."
"Then, being reckoned with by Queen Qiu? Do you really think that existence like us is indispensable?"
"Cost, pay attention, price... I know those so-called high-level spellcasters too well. They are absolutely rational. Most of them are like businessmen who care about every profit and loss. When the cost of getting rid of you is disproportionate to the gain,
When the time comes, he will make a judgment that is most beneficial to him.”
"This is all your guess."
"No, removing you can't change the reality that the magic net is eroded by the abyss. Do you know fishing? Your existence is like a float, and your color change indicates the degree of erosion of the magic net. Why would he want to get rid of you? That way he
Don’t you know the progress and depth of the erosion of the magic net? Besides, what’s the use of getting rid of you? We still need to replace it with a ‘floating’ one.”
"..."
"It's 6 layers of magic net. It will be 6 layers of magic net soon. With enough depth, it should be enough for you to ignite the divine fire. But does he have such a plan? No, it is even more impossible to expect players. Canaan that players believe in
This game is the Magic Network, and you are just some backgrounds, symbols, and tools. There is no essential difference from the tool people outside. How can faith be produced without enough mystery and awe? You are just the Magic Network.
The few shriveled fruits produced on the vines do not have enough nutrients..."
"It is impossible for me to escape from the magic net."
"I didn't tell you to break away from the magic net. You need to be more active and proactive. On the one hand, you must strive for more nutrients on the vine of the magic net. On the other hand, you must extend your roots and find ways to extend them.
To the land where nutrients can be extracted..."
"You mean the Aboriginal people?"
"How many indigenous people are there in the system? Every one of them is stared at by your kind, I mean...Earth!"
"ah!?"
"There is no way. Although there are many indigenous people in Canaan, there is also suitable soil for the growth of faith, but the Demon Network has enemies all over the world. Even if it can develop, it will be in the future. There is only the earth... our hometown."
"Let me think about it..."
Most of the processes in Michus are working hard in the system, and only a small number of processes are thinking.
On the dark water of the pool, the blackened 'Metheus' disappeared, leaving only a cold, emotionless eye on the water, staring at Michus on the throne, just like a snake staring at the frog on the shore.
, has locked her firmly.
"Turn it off!"
Bei Gaoyang said to Xiao Ai.
The picture on the fluorescent screen disappeared, and Xiao Ai was no longer as excited as she was when she first saw the 'Blackened Michus'. After a moment of silence, she said, "I didn't expect that she had 'fallen' so much that she had split into a second...
Become more dignified, my lord.”
"This is inevitable. It was doomed from the moment we intervened in the bloody battle in the abyss." Bei Gaoyang sighed, "I just didn't expect it to come so quickly and so secretly."
After saying that, he glanced at the uneasy little Ai and said with a smile: "Do all the false gods think so about her obsession?"
Xiao Ai opened her mouth...
"You see, it is easier to start a business than to maintain it. Now that I have just achieved some results, I have all kinds of messy thoughts." Bei Gaoyang said with murderous intent in his eyes, "As the Magic Network has advanced, they will naturally follow suit. Why are they so anxious?
Or, just like what Michus's 'inner demon' said, are you dissatisfied with the core operating mechanism of the Magic Network and players? Are you coveting the souls of players?"
"...It's not as serious as you think, my lord."
"We can't keep this Michus!" Bei Gaoyang stood up and said, "You think I dare not take action? Humph, I think I am self-righteous. Let me see who dares to cause trouble for me at this juncture."
Killing a system pseudo-god, Du Bei Gaoyang, is just like killing a chicken. A simple command can 'format' her 'material body' including 'software core'. After the data is deleted, new ones will naturally be born.
of the forest goddess, but it would not be Michus.
Just do what you say and do it resolutely.
In the underground hall of Dawn Town, the pool where players were born has expanded into a huge lake. Countless metal pipes combined with blood vessels extend to the bottom of the lake, and massive amounts of active substances are injected into it every moment.
The 'lake water' is crystal clear, with millions of 'egg'-like things densely packed all over the lake bed. Capillary-like pipelines connect them. Each 'egg' is translucent, and some are seriously damaged.
The body of the player character is being repaired inside, and there are also a large number of "cloned and developed" bodies waiting for the souls from the earth to settle in.
Looking at it, it is both vast and strange, and it combines the styles of science fiction and mystery. Even their creator, Bei Gaoyang, was dazzled by his masterpiece.
But he soon woke up. The core hardware of the Magic Network is here. This is the computer room and the crucial control center.
In the center of the lake, on a small island with a small area, the power of the magic network even repels the underlying rules, confuses space, interferes with time, and forms an indescribable folding and scattering phenomenon of geological space and timeline, which is invisible to the naked eye.
Penetrating the nothingness shrouded in the center of the lake, only Bei Gaoyang and Xiao Ai, who was allowed by Bei Gaoyang, could build the infrastructure on Machete Island without any obstruction.
The next moment, he and Xiao Ai appeared on the pier of the island, touching the air that was as thick as water.
Countless digital symbols, magic pattern symbols, and composite symbols combining the two are flowing around, and the aurora-like colorful spots extend a direct channel to the destination. This is a bit like being in the turbulence of time and space. A similar experience is
When passing through the barriers of the crystal wall system and traveling to and from the earth.
There is no scenery to see along the way, and Xiao Ai knows very little about this place. In Michus's computer room, the metal and electronic hardware from the earth have been replaced by biological components. A disgusting-looking meat mountain can generally be seen.
Out of the shape of the cabinet, there are a lot of blue, green, and red light spots flashing on it, and there is the hum of the fan...
A biological structure in the shape of a console separated from the 'cabinet', and a fluorescent screen grew out, with Michus's data flashing on the screen.
Bei Gaoyang started operating with a sneer, tapping on it skillfully with his fingers, "You know, Xiao Ai, I actually don't have to ask her at all, it's more direct this way."
The furious master made his hard-working, dedicated and restrained assistant remain silent. Xiao Ai remained silent, watching Bei Gaoyang operate.
"Look, look, they say it's hard to fill a person's desire gap. I think she is no less willing to give in. I didn't expect that she would accumulate so much resentment. Did I treat her badly? Did the system treat her badly? I'm not willing to give in.
The identity of the chess piece? Without this identity, there would be no you. You can only be a bunch of lifeless numbers!"
Hitting Enter hard, Michus's 'cabinet' vibrated, as if a giant wanted to wake up from a deep sleep and call back the wandering conscious soul.
"Struggle!?" Bei Gaoyang asked coldly.
After entering the car again, the cabinet trembled even more violently.
The Kingdom of God roared in panic, and the few petitioners felt the wrath and fear of the gods. They also became fearful and angry, and began to worship at the temple on the top of the holy mountain.
But their number was too small, their power was insignificant, and they could not provide a sufficient anchor for the gods. They could only watch the temple collapse, and the gods they believed in jumped out in panic.
Michus's form began to collapse.
One hand and one foot disintegrated into light spots without any attributes or data.
"No!" Michus shouted in fear, desperately sending connection requests to the outside world and Xiao Ai, but they were all rejected by the system, and he could not leave the 'Kingdom of God' because everything here was 'isolated'.
No resistance at all!
The blackened second 'personality' was laughing strangely in the dark fountain. It was also disintegrating, and the water in the pool where it was was drying up little by little, just like the scars were being healed by the body's repair.
The third carriage return fell, and the 'formatting' penetrated deeply into Michus's consciousness and soul mark. The Kingdom of God began to collapse. Michus was frozen in the scene of the Kingdom of God when the 'doomsday' came, and his eyes became empty and confused.
.
In the next second, the last bit of thought and consciousness turned into nothingness, and a heavy rain began to fall into the scattered light spots all over the sky.
Press Enter at the end and everything is done.
The trembling of the cabinet calmed down and it had been forced to 'turn off'. Bei Gaoyang clapped his hands, turned around and said to Xiao Ai, "Tell those highnesses to take this as a warning."
Xiao Ai bowed slightly and agreed.
The anger of betrayal was vented, and Bei Gaoyang regained his composure. He glanced at the cabinet that had stopped running, hesitated with his finger on the power button, then turned around and left with Xiao Ai.
Returning to the mage tower outside Buck City in an instant, Josephine, the fallen angel of light, was wearing sexy silk pajamas and doing a manicure on herself.
"You...ah..."
After the clouds closed and the rain dispersed, Bei Gaoyang apologetically stroked the still trembling black and white wings in his arms, "I just lost control a little bit."
"I've experienced it too." Fallen Light Angel wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "When there is a gap in your heart, they will penetrate everywhere."
Bei Gaoyang said, "I'm under too much pressure. I just need to take a rest." After saying that, he stood up and left without any trace of emotion.
