Chapter 56 The God of Steam (seeking a monthly pass)
The light became brighter and brighter, the darkness became thicker and thicker, and the figures inside the "altar" became clearer and clearer, but the ripples like water waves still covered the face and the upper body.
At this time, the figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a white and sacred transparent light shield on the altar that continued to illuminate the hall.
The prostrate elder, Harold, Quiggins and other dwarves could not see this change, but Tess, Galata, Wells, and Edith witnessed the whole process.
"Haha, haha, their gods have disappeared and abandoned them!" Wells was full of the joy and ecstasy of "surviving the disaster".
When the altar was lit up just now, he almost fainted from fright. Was there really a god "coming"?
Being illiterate and having heard about Count Vlad being injured by the Cult of Truth and the legend of the ancestor of the blood race, "Goddess of the Silver Moon" Etna, Wells believed in the existence of gods in his heart, so he
He will be scared out of his mind. Although he is a noble blood servant, and there is an even more noble and powerful blood master beside him, but facing the god, he must still be as weak as an ant, allowing him to crush him.
Moreover, he is a traitor to the dwarves. This "God of Steam" and "Lord of Life and Death" seems to be the patron saint of the dwarves. If he falls into his hands, one can imagine his fate.
Edith also laughed like crazy and said: "Look, the gods will no longer protect you, and our vampire race is the noble race that is favored!"
When the altar took effect, the pressure and panic in her heart was no less than that of Wells.
When the Great Elder, Harold, Myrna and other dwarves heard the venting voices of the two blood servants, they raised their heads in panic and saw the empty altar.
"Where is the Lord?"
"Have the Steam Gods abandoned us?"
“Have we done something that makes God reject us?”
The emotions of panic, despair, and confusion spread among the surviving dwarves. After finally receiving the blessing and arrival of the gods, why did such a change occur?
"Advanced invisibility, he is a magician!" Galata, the well-informed vampire butler, came to his senses, "That is the teleportation array that passes through the space barrier, and there are space nodes here!"
"Galata, kill him, I'll go back to the castle and inform the count!" Tess's expression changed continuously, black bat wings sprouted from her back, and she turned around and fled without hesitation.
Space nodes are the gates to the "castle" of the alien space. In order to prevent foreign enemies from invading or sneaking in, all nodes must be in our own hands. Otherwise, one day the Cult of Truth and the Magic Council may send a few strong men to secretly
Come in and take down the entire alien space. In some alien spaces, several forces are fighting repeatedly, fighting for the space nodes.
In the Night Plateau, all the discovered space nodes are occupied by powerful vampires. At this time, facing the newly emerged nodes, the two orthodox vampires, Tess and Galata, naturally attach great importance to it and must control this place as soon as possible!
At the same time, because she did not know the level of the magicians who entered through the space node, Tess, who was more cautious, did not dare to take risks, and decided to let Galata temporarily withstand it, and returned to the castle to ask the count for help.
Although he has been tortured by divine magic for a long time and often falls into deep sleep, Count Vlad is still a high-level vampire and the most powerful vampire in the vicinity.
Normally, the strength of a vampire is closely related to the title awarded to them by the Vampire Council of Elders. For example, baron represents the level of a formal knight or dark mage, viscount represents the middle level, earl, and marquis are equivalent to high-level, and duke is equivalent to the archmage or golden knight.
The prince belongs to the realm of legend.
However, many vampires live in isolation or mix with human society. Even if their strength increases, they are too lazy to report it to the Vampire Council of Elders. Therefore, it is easy to make mistakes when judging the strength of vampires based solely on their titles. As for the guys from Rhine who are tens of thousands of years old or even longer, because
He liked the title of Count but did not accept the honor of Vampire Prince.
Galata hesitated for a moment, but rushed to the altar without hesitation. As a low-level descendant transformed by Count Vlad's first embrace, he was completely loyal to the Count and was unwilling to resist the orders of Lady Tess, who represented the Count's will.
Through the breath that appeared briefly just now, he relied on his keen life sensing ability to confirm that the magician was still on the altar and had not left yet!
As soon as Lucien teleported over, he saw a group of dwarves crying and looking like lunatics lying on the ground chanting Godly words to him. He was shocked and thought that there was an error in the teleportation array he had arranged.
Get involved in the turbulent flow of space and "travel" again!
Therefore, Lucien cast the fourth-ring magic "Advanced Invisibility" like a conditioned reflex, wanting to hide and observe the situation before deciding on subsequent actions.
"Can I still use magic?" It seems that he has not "traveled through again".
After turning invisible, Lucien gradually regained his composure. As a "language expert", he could easily tell that the language used by the dwarves belonged to the ancient language family and was in the same vein as modern dwarven language, and he could barely understand it.
"Lord? God of Steam? What on earth are they doing?"
Countless questions flooded Lucien's mind, and before he could clear his mind, he heard Galata's words, "Space node?"
"Vampire! It is indeed the Night Plateau!" The dwarf vampire with two black bat wings made Lucien confirm where he was, and then he saw another human-looking vampire rushing towards him.
Lucien narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand. He must not let the fact that there is a space node here be leaked!
I have to use the Night Plateau to jump a few times, and it will be dangerous if a vampire of the prince level finds out the clues.
Since Rhine didn't tell himself which vampire was trustworthy, then "treat them all equally"!
Harold stared blankly at the empty altar and the white transparent light shield that slowly disappeared. He felt that he, the dwarves, had been abandoned by the world. Why did the gods leave without doing anything after they came?
Could it be that the dwarves are not religious enough?
Could it be that the cruel vampire received the favor of the gods?
Has our fate been completely sealed?
His teeth were biting his lips tightly, and blood seeped out. His despair, confusion, and depression made him extremely exhausted, and he wished he could die.
Only death is the end of all suffering!
Only death can bring eternal peace!
Such emotions filled the hearts of every dwarf. Even the Great Elder Augustus was not immune. The last trace of faith that supported him had disappeared, and his "world" collapsed.
An afterimage flashed across their eyes and rushed towards the altar.
"Galata..." They were numb and confused and could only think of this name, unable to react to what happened.
Suddenly, the great elder's cloudy pupils reflected the brilliant light that erupted in front of the altar!
Galata's entire body turned into a colorful ball of light!
Red, black, green, and countless light points shot out from the light group. Some quickly turned into gas, some exuded a strong smell of sulfur, and some changed color quickly and made a "dang" sound when they fell to the ground.
Sound softly.
In less than a second, Galata completely disappeared, leaving behind all kinds of "weird" things.
"What kind of magic is this?" Tess thought in horror. Before her bat wings even started to flap, Galata was killed? And "decomposed" into many substances?
She has never seen such weird and terrifying magic!
Could it be a legendary magician? In the legend, "Elemental Dominator" Hathaway's "Elemental Decomposition" has a similar description!
Great fear came to her mind, she must run away! Run away immediately! If you wait any longer, you will be dead!
A black mist rose up, and countless tiny bats flew out from it, fleeing in all directions.
Wells and Edith didn't even react.
Seeing Galata transformed into various "weird" things, Harold suddenly felt extremely happy.
The Lord has not abandoned us yet!
The God of Steam is still watching over us!
Two lines of tears burst out again. At this time, he felt a warm and soft force passing through his body, just like the touch of his parents in childhood.
"Is this the power of God?"
In a daze, he heard the shrill screams, and subconsciously looked back, only to see thick white smoke rising from the body of the hateful overseer Wells, and pieces of rotten flesh and blood kept falling to the ground. His whole body was trembling, and he even ran away.
He had no strength at all. Soon, with a crash, Wells' skeleton fell apart and fell to the ground, as did the maid Edith beside him.
At the entrance of the passage, small black bats fell to the ground like rain, with black energy rolling around their bodies, dissipating continuously, and then being shrouded in a faint holy light, quickly melting and disappearing.
Immortality returns to death!
A few seconds later, an invisible female scream echoed near the passage.
"Tess is dead? Galata is dead?"
The two "terrible" vampires who just seemed like everyone's nightmare died like this?
"Is this the power of God?"
Same question, different meaning, the surviving dwarves looked at all this in disbelief.
Quiggins was very close to the altar, and some of the things Galata "dropped" were right in front of him. He subconsciously picked up one of the metal scrap-like things and a small piece of black solid matter.
His eyes suddenly opened wide, his hands couldn't help trembling, and his expression was extremely excited: "This is iron, this is coal, he is really the God of Steam!"
Putting down the things in his hands, Quiggins stretched his hands forward, knelt on the ground, and prayed loudly:
"Great Lord of life and death, you love us as if you have supreme authority."
"Under your glory, we will be free from all suffering and evil."
The Great Elder, Harold, Myrna and other dwarves looked at the altar, then turned to look at the bat corpses, bones, and carrion remaining at the entrance of the passage. They thought of the horror of Tess's magic just now, and how she had no resistance.
The power is purified and there is no longer any doubt.
"Mortal eyes cannot see the gods. Ordinary paintbrushes cannot depict the perfection. The true master will never be revealed to others!" Suddenly, the great elder thought of the reason to "explain" the phenomenon of the empty altar, and became more and more excited.
Announce it loudly, and then bow down and pray devoutly.
"You dominate everything, control the boundaries between life and death, you are the king of kings, the God above gods."
After hearing the Great Elder's "explanation", the other dwarves followed him to the altar in excitement and ecstasy, leaving Lucien stunned for a moment.
"Our glory, our lives, and our authority belong to you, the great God of Steam!"
All the dwarves thanked each other in unison. During the ups and downs, they glanced at the altar. They suddenly thought of Galata's terrible fate and suddenly became more pious.
God’s grace is like the sea, and God’s power is like the mountains! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
