The evil god's clone did not take action. The previous record of the Gulf Territory was enough to explain many problems.
Once discovered by them, Yaya and Matthew, who are decisive, might fall from the sky.
If it were in the past, it would only take a few months to recover easily from the consumption of just one clone.
If you can get some information through the clone, this is very worthwhile in the eyes of many gods in the past.
But now the situation is different.
Because they have not appeared in the world and performed miracles for a long time, the churches they control and guide have been "suppressed" by the developed kingdom rulers, major forces and organizations.
Although these are not stated openly, they are indeed things that happened.
This has also led to a significant decline in the "quality" of believers in the gods.
From another direction, the development of civilization and the progress of social systems will subject people's beliefs to various challenges.
As the number of intelligent creatures increases, the total number of followers of the gods not only does not decrease, but also increases.
However, these believers are no longer as "ignorant" and "blind" as before, and the quality of their prayers has dropped dramatically.
If it were in the past, they would have used various means to hold various rituals or sacrifices to restore their divine power.
However, this method does not work on the material plane.
Defeating the Goblin Empire and bringing down the Eastern Empire had already consumed all their strength.
Many gods have perished, and it is still unknown whether they can be reborn and awaken in the future.
In this case, they encountered resistance and suppression from the material plane.
In order not to break the net, they decided to use gentler methods to infiltrate and exert influence, and naturally they would not end up personally.
Therefore, they founded the church and prepared to use this very skilled method and borrow these tools that had been successful countless times to increase the number of believers and accelerate the recovery of divine power.
However, this process is quite difficult.
I don't know if it's because the consciousness of the material plane has awakened, or if the major kingdoms and organizations have developed rapidly because of the demise of the Goblin Empire.
The strength of secular kingdoms and organizations has been greatly improved in a very short period of time.
In front of them, who have mastered the power and resources, the major churches with gods as the backend have indeed seized the opportunity and developed rapidly.
However, as miracles appeared less and less, the intervals between gods exerting their power became longer and longer, and due to the development of the church, considerable benefits were taken away.
Conflicts between major churches and local forces broke out in just twenty or thirty years.
The major kingdoms and organizations that have received support from the gods and have gradually been able to compete with the goblin empire branches will naturally not let their interests be robbed.
As a result, the two sides inevitably fought.
The struggle for interests and the desire for power have made many kingdoms and forces dare to attack the church.
There is no way, because the church asks for too much and gives too little, and there is a great possibility that it has lost the support from the background.
In this case, no secular kingdom or organization would tolerate the existence of an aggressive and greedy church.
The war between the two sides was very brutal and lasted for hundreds of years.
Several powerful kingdoms fell and many organizations were destroyed.
However, with better talent training and better social systems, they still won the victory after paying huge casualties.
After all, talents and resources account for a large proportion of war competitions!
The surviving kingdoms and organizations can find traces from many kingdoms in the northern continent, and even several kingdoms continue to this day.
As the loser, many churches are in a worse situation.
Although due to the existence of the gods, they dare not kill them all, it is natural to restrict their development and expansion.
In order to ensure that even if the gods return, they will not come to trouble them, the ruling class at that time also thought of a very interesting method.
"You are believers in gods, so can we!"
"It's just that we don't have to listen to you at all."
"Everyone is a believer, and you are only a handful. Who will the gods pay attention to when they return?"
This method is quite interesting, allowing everyone to find their own beliefs, which is undoubtedly a good way to solve future problems.
If the gods appear in the world, or if many gods have just arrived on the material plane, then they will definitely be very happy.
They can respond at any time, show miracles and power, and naturally turn these shallow believers into loyal believers quickly.
Their basic purpose is just this!
When they first arrived in the material plane, if they could have been treated like this, there would really be no need to start a war with the Goblin Empire and the Eastern Empire in the material plane.
But now the situation is completely different!
They were slow to respond, and naturally fewer true believers were converted. The increase in the total number of believers did not bring them much benefit.
Because of several fierce battles, the souls of believers accumulated in their god's country also suffered heavy losses, and their recovery speed was frighteningly slow.
Some gods had too few believers and could not sustain the consumption of the Kingdom of God, causing the Kingdom of God to collapse and themselves to fall into deep sleep.
Even so, the gods can gradually recover over time, as the number of true believers increases and their strength increases, and then descend to the material plane again.
As a result, the material plane seemed to have "calculated" this point and simply chose another path.
The material plane began to suppress the strength of all living things, limiting the concentration of energy.
In this way, all intelligent creatures are forced to gradually change from the rough use of energy to one that values skills and technology more.
The more important point is that the material plane puts most of the "power" saved into strengthening the protection of the material plane.
It was precisely because of this move that it was able to withstand the "invasion" of other ancient evil beings, led by Scarlet Moon, and even abominations.
Intelligent creatures whose upper limit of strength was suppressed began to believe in experience and technology instead of gods.
Therefore, the stronger the professional, the less he believes in gods.
Instead, they become more "ambitious"!
The birth of the Great Arcanist is one of the representatives of this kind of thinking!
The more difficult the environment, the more one can hone and cultivate one's will.
"Income" did not meet expectations, and the powerful gods could barely maintain their basic base.
Gods who are weaker and have relatively fewer believers even need to consume their "origin".
This also led to the fact that it took the surviving gods thousands of years to accumulate enough divine power.
The speed at which they recovered their divine power was far from what was expected, so they were unable to quickly restore the number of believers, which led to the current uncomfortable situation. As for the transformation into "evil gods", for these gods, it is just a change in behavior and a certain degree of thinking.
Transformations of gods are not uncommon, and the Spider Goddess and a series of dark evil gods close to her are typical examples.
It's just that such a large-scale transformation just shows the determination of the gods to gain strength and restore combat capabilities.
As for the series of disasters they have caused now, they actually don't take it too seriously.
Judging from the previous cases, as long as they can achieve the final victory, they can easily erase this period of history and pretend that nothing has happened.
If the church could be more powerful, it could impose these terrible disasters and experiences on the enemies of the evil god.
As a result, the god who has become clean again can once again enjoy the love and prayers of believers with a glorious and majestic image.
However, the pressure brought by the Gulf Territory this time far exceeded their imagination.
The covering fire of various long-range weapons and the bombardment of various aerial weapons made these aberrant monsters lose their temper at all.
In this case, if they continue to advance, they will suffer greater losses.
Even if the evil god masters all kinds of weird abilities and technologies, it is impossible to ignore the loss of combat units and resources.
As a result, they began to produce and develop more powerful and terrifying war weapons based on the Gulf Territory's combat methods.
One after another, twisted and weird photos, one after another, horrific and bloody images, fell into the hands of the Gulf Territory through various detection channels.
After simple analysis and discussion, researchers from the Gulf Territory have calculated it.
"This is an altar similar to the lair of aberrant creatures!"
"The evil gods are creating large combat units!"
"They are far away from the Gulf Territory's largest long-range attack weapon. If you just send out the Iron Dragon troops to carry out bombing missions, you will encounter unexpected dangers."
"Judging from the total number of energy reactions, at least legendary level combat units will be born. If the subsequent intensity continues to increase, it should break through to the demigod level."
"The corresponding manufacturing technology is very advanced. It has excellent and twisted manufacturing skills. It should be a very mature combat unit."
"In this case, we need to respond and prepare early and arrange for large-scale enemy combat drills."
"..."
Looking at the distorted and uncomfortable pictures, all combat commanders put aside other thoughts and focused on how to defeat the enemy.
After hearing the news, Matthew subconsciously raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that the influence of the Gulf Territory on the material plane had reached a very great extent.
The "giant monsters" created by the evil gods were originally the most important part of the "monster disasters".
But what happened was 7 years later. The evil gods plundered a large amount of territory and controlled a large population. In order to capture large cities and fortresses, they specially developed and created war monsters!
But now, facing the endless variety of weapons emerging from the Gulf Territory.
The evil gods could no longer tolerate the rapid growth of the Gulf Territory, and felt that they had to increase their strength first, so they made an early appearance of creating giant monsters.
Matthew was quite happy about this change.
This shows that the development speed of the Gulf Territory is very good and can bring greater pressure to the enemy.
Next, the Gulf Territory will continue to speed up and force out more cards from the evil gods as soon as possible,
As for these more special "monsters", Matthew believes that if they appear when the time is not right, various problems and troubles will inevitably arise.
Not to mention that manufacturing is very difficult, and the consumption and investment will also be very huge.
The accumulation of various problems will inevitably lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
Facing these stunted "monsters", Matthew felt that he could better test the Gulf Territory's combat capabilities.
Now that the intensity of the battle is not high enough, it’s time for everyone to exercise.
Stronger enemies and more special monsters can also enhance the growth of Gulf Territory combat troops and researchers.
In addition to these monsters, which are called Titans by the Gulf Territory Research Department, investigators with very rich exploration experience have sent back a lot of new information.
In some canyons among the mountains, horrific slaughtering and sacrificial rituals are taking place.
The strange passage connecting the unknown plane is continuously emitting twisted blood light.
Just watching those images and pictures brings a lot of distortion and pollution to people's psychology and thinking.
This obviously dangerous situation naturally attracted the attention of relevant departments in the Gulf Territory.
Based on long-distance exploration and detection by professional forces, and at the expense of some drones, they finally found out the specific situation.
"Is this artificially creating something evil?"
"It shouldn't be possible to be an evil thing, but it may be an evil being controlled by it..."
"Abomination? Aren't they the descendants of the gods?"
"That's not the case. It's just that I can't completely digest and master the divine power and divinity, and I completely fell into a crazy life form..."
"These guys are very tenacious and have special abilities that cannot be detected. They need to formulate individual combat plans."
"The evil gods all like to play this trick, creating dangerous monsters, all kinds of disasters, and all kinds of destruction..."
"Both the bad guys and the good guys were fooled by them together..."
"It turns out that the gods rely on this to conquer the world..."
"I now very much doubt whether the Scarlet Moon was also created..."
"..."
In addition to these technologies that the evil god is very familiar with and good at, the Gulf Territory's investigation department also discovered that the evil god has learned quite a lot of the "programs" of the Gulf Territory.
Classify various combat units.
Make a distinction between combat units and producers.
Large-scale concentration to "cultivate" more believers.
Use various propaganda channels and distorted information to brainwash believers in all aspects.
There are also many attempts to imitate the production of Gulf Territory. Even the Gulf Territory being imitated felt a little weird when they saw it.
Some researchers in the Gulf Territory have even been inspired by this and developed many valuable technologies and projects.
In the process of colliding and learning from each other, both parties continue to confirm each other and grow together. (End of chapter)
