Chapter 801 The truth about the disappearance of the sun (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Maslow said that human needs are hierarchical. The more primitive, lower-level, and closer to instinctive needs, the higher the priority.
When a person cannot even meet the food and water needed to maintain basic survival, it is difficult to consider complex things such as dignity, ideals, self-worth, and a sense of belonging.
But for a piece of bread and a glass of water, you will abandon all dignity and morality and be willing to pay any price for it, even death.
Only when the lower physiological needs are satisfied, can it be possible to pursue further order, fairness and security.
This is why after entering the age of nuclear weapons, there have been almost no direct conflicts between military powers.
Although nuclear weapons are far from capable of destroying mankind, they can seriously damage existing productivity, causing difficulties in the supply of various basic living materials, electricity, water, etc., and even completely disappearing in some areas.
What’s even more terrible is that with the plummeting quality of life and existential crisis, law and order will also collapse, and then there will be an inevitable decline of civilization.
It doesn’t take much, it only takes two or three generations. When all the old people who originally mastered advanced knowledge, technology, and ideas are dead, the quality of the population will drop to an unbearable level, or even Under the darkness and greed of human nature, it degenerates into dictatorship and slavery.
If this situation continues for a while, everyone will gradually adapt and take everything for granted. This is how the world is originally.
When it degrades to this level, it will be extremely difficult to develop again and restore its past prosperity, just like turning on the Hell difficulty.
After all, social progress cannot be achieved by simply stacking up technology. The most critical thing is a change in thinking.
The most typical example is that before the rapid rise of modern Europe, the Renaissance took the lead in breaking the shackles of religion and liberating the mind, followed by the rapid era of geographical discovery, the colonial era, and the rise of the industrial revolution.
Just imagine, if a group of people don’t have enough to eat every day and their average life expectancy is only about thirty years old, how will they have the energy to think about the future and use their brains to constantly try to transform existing production tools to improve labor efficiency?
I guess from morning to night every day I think about what to eat and how to get food.
Even if you can have a few full meals occasionally, you won't think about these things. Instead, you will find someone of the opposite sex to vent your suppressed reproductive instinct, and at the same time, let your genes continue to be passed on.
In fact, it is never the people at the bottom who really promote the development of history and society.
Because most of the time, they can’t even fill their stomachs, so how can they master knowledge, research technology, and think about a system more suitable for current productivity.
What really drives all this are the "off-the-job workers", that is, those very small groups who do not need to work and have fully satisfied their low-level needs and are beginning to pursue the realization of self-worth.
They are not necessarily the ruling class, but they must be the elite.
Cultivating and maintaining such an elite requires a large amount of social resources.
Unfortunately, the world that the Dark Prince Graia is currently targeting no longer has enough remaining resources to cultivate a large number of unemployed people to promote social progress.
So since entering the underground world, their social form has been continuously regressing.
Coupled with the limited underground space, it is impossible to have a vast plain suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry production on a large scale like the surface. A large gathering place can feed tens of thousands of people, which is already quite an achievement. .
Finally, there are DBUFFs such as communication and transportation closure, which makes even external expansion, mergers, and trade a thankless task.
In addition, without much genetic exchange for thousands of years, there will be huge differences in appearance and even body size in gathering places that are far apart.
Some cases of reproductive isolation have simply occurred.
And this further led to the division of the entire race.
If the core of the earth had not cooled down, in another tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, two completely different subspecies might actually evolve.
Of course, these complex issues are not issues that members of the expedition team need to consider.
After a hearty meal, they were quickly taken into the splendid bathhouse, where they soaked in the slightly scalding hot water and applied a little smooth and foaming shower gel to themselves from time to time.
There is no doubt that this building is an out-and-out paradise in the eyes of the residents of the underground world.
Looking at the gorgeous lights above her head and feeling the warmth brought by the water temperature, a young woman couldn't help but sigh: "If this is a dream, I would rather never wake up."
< br>“A dream?
This is not a dream, but a gift from the gods.
I think that His Highness the Prince is most likely the great god who came to save us.
Because apart from God, I can’t think of anyone who can build this fairyland-like place on the surface world.
Look at these green plants and flowers, they are exactly like those depicted in "The Divine Revelation". "
Another slightly older woman glanced at the potted plant placed on the windowsill as a decoration in the distance, picked up the silver amulet hanging around her neck, put it to her mouth and kissed it, her eyes revealing Showing unparalleled piety
“You are actually a believer in the church? ! ”
Rebecca, the youngest girl in the team, looked surprised.
Like all primitive and ignorant areas, the human beings in this world have naturally derived these products in order to meet the spiritual needs of the people after entering the underground world for thousands of years. All kinds of religions.
After all, the origin of religious belief is suffering.
Only when you have endured great pain and cannot see any hope, will you pray to a god who is superior to mortals to save you.
Without a false hope as a support, people simply cannot persevere in that harsh and difficult environment.
But the problem is that for expedition teams that often go to the surface world, because they often come into contact with things from the prosperous era, see tall buildings with their own eyes, and exquisite tools that no blacksmith can make, they rarely believe those magicians. nonsense.
In particular, "The Divine Revelation" depicts that the end of the world is coming because God punished people in the prosperous era for their arrogance and extravagance. Only those who work hard and endure the current suffering will have the opportunity to ascend to heaven and enjoy a good life after death.
Anyone who has gone to the surface world and seen the things left by the "ancestors", such as the suicide notes frozen on the table, or those that have not been frozen by ultra-low temperatures and can still be used after being taken back to the underground and thawed. From the video and audio records played, it can be understood that the culprit causing all this is the sudden disappearance of the sun.
No one knows exactly what happened at that time, but it is certain that it has nothing to do with gods. Instead, it is more like the people at that time made some big move, and then accidentally killed themselves by playing tricks. .
You must know that as members of the expedition team, they have all learned those ancient texts and languages so that they can identify where high-value materials may be hidden at the first time, so it is not like they have been enslaved long ago. The people at the bottom are so ignorant of the truth of the world.
The woman wearing a silver amulet around her neck smiled and replied: "No, I don't believe in what those guys preach. I just simply believe that there should be a god in this world, and he will one day lead us out of the sea of suffering."
"So you think the prince mentioned by those weird creatures is the god you expected?"
Rebecca stood up from the huge bath, revealing enough to make most modern women feel envious and A perfect figure without a trace of fat.
Of course, it is not easy to grow fat in this food-poor world, and it is even a privilege only enjoyed by a very small number of the upper ruling class.
Especially those well-proportioned but not exaggerated muscles can never be obtained by doing some exercise in the gym.
If I had to find a flaw on her body, it would probably be the thick thighs and calves that have been molded by walking for a long time. She looks like Chun-Li in Street Fighter.
"Otherwise? How do you explain the warm environment here and the fresh fruits and vegetables on the table?"
The older woman also stood up from the bath and started wiping. Afterwards, I put on the clothes on the shelf, stood in front of the mirror and stared at my radiant self, my whole body and mind became extremely relaxed.
Although she didn't understand why the Prince of Darkness entertained her so warmly, she knew very well that her value was far less than the sumptuous feast before.
And the other party lives in the surface world and has as many supplies as he wants. It is impossible for him to appreciate the junk found by the expedition team.
Since the payment is far greater than the possible benefits, it means that what the other party wants is not a vulgar thing like "property", but something that mortals cannot understand, such as faith.
"Perhaps... it's some kind of technology left over from the prosperous era? Don't forget, we have recycled some similar things before. Even those scholars don't know what they are called, but they can survive without soil. "Grow food under the circumstances."
Rebecca, who was also neatly dressed, expressed her guess.
The older woman smiled and shook her head: "Come on. I admit that there were many incredible technologies in the prosperous era, but it would never be possible to do this. Otherwise, why would our ancestors go underground? Why not rely on it to continue to live on the surface? "
While the two were talking, the leader's slightly helpless voice suddenly came from outside.
"Dear madam, you have been washing for a full hour and a half. Aren't you finished yet? You must know that the owner here is still waiting to see us. I don't want to piss him off and be kicked out, and then be outside in the cold environment. Stay the night.”
“Damn it! Don’t rush us, we’re getting dressed.”
Rebecca rolled her eyes angrily.
In about three to five minutes, the women in the team got up, dried themselves, put on clothes and walked out.
As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you think about lust.
When the men who were waiting impatiently outside saw the woman who had taken off her heavy warm clothes and wore a pair of cool clothes to reveal a large area of white and rosy skin, almost every one of them subconsciously widened their eyes and swallowed subconsciously. The action of salivating.
In addition, there is a faint fragrance from the shower just now. It would be strange if there is no physiological reaction.
Even the guy who was whispering that women are troublesome one second was staring at the chest of a young girl the next second.
Regarding the change in the men's attitudes, the older women immediately showed disdain, while the young girls felt uncomfortable, and some even blushed with embarrassment.
But fortunately, this embarrassing situation did not last long. A New Phyrexia creation said to everyone: "Come with me, His Highness the Prince has been waiting for a long time."
In this way, a group of thirty or forty people crowded into the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
When the elevator door opened, all members of the expedition team immediately saw a sight that they would never forget.
In huge petri dishes, there are densely packed various strange creatures that are either soaked in the solution, or taking the shape of eggs or cocoons.
Some of them they had seen in the underground world, but most of them had never heard of them.
There are even some that have no form at all, just like huge twisted black shadow monsters.
One of the eggs had obviously begun to hatch. Two pink hands tore open the hard inner wall and shell, and struggled to crawl out.
From the appearance, it looks like a wrinkled human baby girl.
But in fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the cuticle like sharp flakes can be vaguely seen on the surface of the delicate skin.
Not only that, you can also see sharp horns on the forehead, a pair of small unopened wings and a tail on the back.
“Beep boop!!”
When the baby was born, he did not cry like an ordinary child, but crawled out tremblingly.
When she climbed to the feet of the handsome young man standing in front of the petri dish, she suddenly raised her arms and gently waved her two little hands, as if begging the latter to hug her.
Obviously, this little baby is Artoria who has just been rebuilt.
Nowadays, she has completely said goodbye to the past, and is completely a pure and flawless piece of white paper.
“Is this a newly born life? It’s really fragile.”
Grea's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she obviously didn't want to bend down and pick up the little guy.
After all, Artoria is still a divine creature no matter how she is reborn. Even if she is just born, she is many times more powerful than a mortal. Even if she is thrown outside in an environment of more than 200 degrees below zero, she will starve for hundreds of years. He can still be alive and kicking.
But the baby girl did not give up because of this. Instead, she opened her mouth and continued to make babbling sounds, trying to attract the attention of the prince of darkness.
After trying several times, Grea reached out and lifted it up by its neck like a puppy, and directly cast a cleaning spell to clean up all the mucus on the little guy, and then Then he sighed helplessly: "Oh - it's really troublesome. Is this the only way to realize what growth is? Forget it, since my father said this is the only way, I'll give it a try first."< br>
“Eaaah!”
Arturia, who was in her baby state, suddenly smiled happily and kicked her two little feet to make a happy sound.
Since a large part of her power comes from the Prince of Darkness, she naturally has an inexplicable closeness to the latter, just like a father and daughter connected by blood.
In contrast, Greya's reaction was relatively indifferent. She just used divine power to create a piece of cloth out of thin air to wrap up this little naked thing to prevent her from crawling restlessly.
"Your Highness, the noble prince, these mortals have been brought here. If there are no other instructions, I will leave first."
The creation of New Phyrexia broke this short-term relationship. Warm picture.
"Well, okay."
Greya nodded towards the Shimoyou servant.
In his eyes, this kind of thing without a soul can only be regarded as an intelligent tool, and there is no need to waste too much breath.
After the Shimmering Oil Creation left, the members of the expedition team began to have some commotion.
Because the scene in this laboratory is really scary.
Moreover, the dark prince's handsome face, two deep and dark eyes, and the aura exuded by divine power all made them involuntarily have the urge to kneel down and worship.
Especially the "superpowers" of this team began to gradually feel the existence of the Shadow Magic Network.
Nervous!
Uneasy!
Fear!
Even Rebecca, who had always objected to approaching this place, realized that the young man standing in front of her was anything but ordinary.
Because that otherworldly temperament and the invisible but vaguely perceptible energy field surrounding him all prove that the other person is special.
After a long silence, the older woman with the silver amulet hanging around her neck was the first to stand up, put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply: "Hello, Your Highness the Prince of Darkness, We are an expedition team from Stalagmite City. Thank you and your servants for the sumptuous meal and bathroom provided before."
"You're welcome, it's just a small effort."
Graia. He nodded with a smile in response.
He once led the army to regain the land of the Kingdom of Cormyr as the crown prince, so he knew how to respond to greetings from the bottom of society.
“Maybe it’s a piece of cake for you, but it’s a paradise-like experience for us. If you don’t mind, can you tell me who you are? I mean... what exactly are you? Is it a human or a god? "
The woman continued to test carefully, her eyes shining with expectation and desire.
After all, in this dark and desperate world, God is almost the only hope that can save mankind from suffering.
Graia responded with a smile: "Haha, it depends on what your definition of God is."
"Definition?"
A look of confusion appeared on the woman's face.
“Yes, definition.
If you think God is some kind of spiritual thing, abstract and untouchable, then I have no doubt not.
But If you think that gods only have powerful power and eternal life that are superior to mortals, then I can barely be considered a god
Because as long as I want, I can destroy a world at any time. ”
Speaking, Greia suddenly released his destructive power of darkness and nothingness, completely wrapping the entire planet under his feet.
In an instant, everyone living on this planet People in the underground world of the planet couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear and trembling, as if they were being held by an invisible big hand, and their life and death depended on the other person's thoughts.
That kind of strong uneasiness was like weeds.
Especially the members of the expedition team who were closest seemed to see the huge shadow that swallowed everything in the dark prince's body.
But fortunately, this situation only lasted less than a minute before it returned to its original state.
Plop! thump! thump!
Several people with slightly weaker willpower began to beat wildly after the feeling of suffocation disappeared. They knelt on the ground and gasped for air. Sweat dripped down their foreheads and cheeks to the ground.
The team leader raised his head and looked at Greya with an extremely complicated expression. After half a minute, he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Were you the one who extinguished the sun and plunged the world into darkness? You Is it the god who destroyed the prosperous era?”
“Pfft—hahahaha!”
The Prince of Darkness suddenly burst into laughter. He shook his head while laughing and explained: "No, no, no, that has nothing to do with me. It was all caused by your ancestors committing suicide. I only recently discovered and came to Come here.”
“Seek death?” Rebecca’s eyes revealed a strong desire for knowledge.
Because all humans living in the underground world don’t want to know what happened back then.
“That’s right.
Through continuous development of magic and technology, your ancestors gave themselves the technology to leave their home planet and enter the vast space.
They are eager to obtain unlimited energy and to create a society where everyone can enjoy free food, medical care, pension, entertainment and other high welfare societies even if they do not work.
In the end, the top lawbreakers, the group you now call superpowers, and the most powerful scientists at the time jointly proposed a plan.
That is to make full use of the sun as energy.
To this end, they built a super Dyson sphere, preparing to wrap the sun directly inside it so that every part of the emitted light and heat can be fully utilized instead of being spread meaninglessly in the universe.
As a result, errors in calculation and operation caused violent flares and fluctuations inside the star during the closed-loop process, eventually leading to a supernova explosion.
In order to prevent this explosion from destroying your home star, the lawbreakers can only sacrifice themselves and teleport the entire star to a certain corner of the universe.
That’s why there is a strange situation where stars in the entire galaxy disappear, but other planets remain intact.
In addition, there are a hundred super tunnels on the planet that you can use to enter the surface, and each one corresponds to a large city cluster on the surface.
It was excavated after the sun disappeared and the local government launched an emergency plan.
Therefore, all of this has nothing to do with God. It is simply the inevitable result of people losing awe in their hearts and gradually becoming more and more arrogant when technology develops to a certain extent.
Those people think they can tame stars and harvest energy through the most natural super fusion reactor in the universe.
But in fact, the technology at the time was simply not enough to tame the very unstable and violent sun of this star system.
How about this? Are you surprised by this answer? ”
Graia did not hide anything, and openly told everyone present the truth that the world had fallen into darkness and coldness.
The reason why he knew it so clearly was because the remains of the damaged Dyson sphere could still be seen where the star was.
To be honest, he really didn’t understand how the other party, with such crude technology, dared to play such a big game before even leaving the star system to develop outer space colonies.
Even if you want to play, at least open a branch base to verify your technology.
But the people on this planet are good, they just put all their money into playing such a trick in their hometown.
Will all civilizations inevitably lead to self-destruction after their cognitive abilities and technologies reach a certain level?
The Prince of Darkness has undoubtedly heard about how the once glorious ancient civilizations on the continent of Faerûn played themselves to death one by one, and feels that the situation in this world is similar.
Otherwise, with the technology they mastered at the time, they could easily continue civilization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years even if they stopped carrying out any development and rested on their laurels.
“Was it...did our ancestors destroy themselves?!”
The truth undoubtedly deeply stimulated Rebecca, as well as the entire expedition team including the leader.
They did not suspect that the Prince of Darkness was lying or deceiving.
Because with the strength shown by the other party, there is no need to play such little tricks.
Graia nodded slightly: "Yes, they destroyed themselves. This is not a special case, but a common fate of many civilizations that think they are strong. It is also an inevitable result of the arrogance in the bones of mortals. "
"What about you? What are your plans for coming to our world?"
The older woman asked enthusiastically after a brief shock.
“For faith. I am looking for a group of believers to be my followers and build a dark empire of my own.”
Greia stated her intentions straightforwardly.
"Faith? What do you mean...let us believe in you and establish a church, and then obtain a certain degree of salvation?"
Rebecca's face changed slightly.
Due to her special experiences as a child, she has always been full of disgust and even hatred for institutions that amass money and enslave the poor in the name of religion.
Graia obviously noticed this and asked meaningfully: "You seem to have a strong rejection of religion and belief, don't you?
But please don't confuse me with those dirty and ugly guys.
In my opinion, faith should not be a unilateral request, but a contract between man and God.
Mortals are responsible for providing faith, while gods are responsible for providing help, including divine magic, so that their believers can survive better.
This is what a healthy religion should look like.
So as long as you are willing to believe in and serve me, I will give you the power called divine magic, and a special physique that allows you to move freely on the surface world regardless of the cold. ”
Divine magic?
A physique that allows you to move freely on the surface world despite the cold?
Hearing these two conditions, everyone in the expedition team couldn't help but get excited.
Although they don’t understand what magic is, they are very clear about the great convenience it will bring if they can ignore the cold. They can even explore remote areas that no one has ever been to and dig out priceless power generation. equipment.
Just as the members of the expedition team exchanged glances with each other, the older woman was the first to kneel down on the ground, kissing the Dark Prince's leather boots affectionately, raising her head and chanting piously: " Your Highness, the great Prince of Darkness, from now on you are my faith and my only one, and I am willing to dedicate everything to you, even my own life.”
"I accept your faith and promise to protect your soul. While you are alive, you are my pastor and apostle. When you die, I will protect your soul and go to another world to enjoy eternal peace."< br>
Graia stretched out her fingers and gently pressed on the other person's forehead.
In a blink of an eye!
A black circular mark is imprinted in the middle of the eyebrows.
At the same time, the woman's pale skin became darker, as if blending with the shadows formed by the surrounding light.
Most importantly, countless amounts of knowledge are implanted into the brain in just a few seconds.
When she came back to her senses, she was already a mage and priest who could cast first-level divine spells and first-level arcane spells at the same time.
"This...is this?!!"
The woman obviously realized what was happening, and her already very excited mood became even more enthusiastic.
Before anyone else could react to what was happening, she completed a spell and instantly shot a stream of hot flames from her fingertips.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the [Burning Hand] most commonly used by low-level mages among the first-level magic.
Although it is much weaker because it draws energy from the Shadow Magic Network and releases it, it is enough to shock and disbelief everyone in the expedition team.
Especially Rebecca, as a person with supernatural powers, her whole face looked like she had seen a ghost.
As the person in the team responsible for maintaining the barrier, she simply couldn't believe that this kind of supernatural power could be obtained by ordinary people.
"Great Prince of Darkness! Praise you! Your generosity and kindness are the last salvation in this desperate world! Everyone should pray to you and offer their faith!"
After realizing what kind of power she had gained, the older woman once again knelt on the ground and worshiped.
Since she originally believed in the existence of God in this world, there was no mental obstacle in the process of establishing her faith.
“Can you really give power to believers?”
Rebecca swallowed and started to feel hot and sweaty from head to toe.
Graia responded with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself.
Of course, not everyone can do this, but there are two prerequisites.
One is that the object of faith must be pious enough to establish a connection with faith;
The second is that one must have sufficient perception, otherwise it is unlikely to perceive divine power or divine-like power. exist.
As a person with powers, your perception level must be sufficient.
But the question is, based on your childhood experience, can you really become a devout believer? ”
As the last word blurted out, Rebecca immediately looked panicked, and her voice suddenly rose an octave and asked sternly: "How do you know about my childhood experience? I have never told anyone!"
< br>"Who do you think I am?
Those false religious sticks who pretend to be gods and play tricks on power and faith?
No, I killed and devoured the incarnation of a god when I was just born. The Prince of Darkness is a quasi-divine power that is superior to most weak gods.
In my eyes, there are no secrets in each of your experiences, memories, and thoughts and ideas in your mind at this moment. Words.
It's like there are books in front of me. I can open them and read the contents whenever I want.
Make your choice now.
Should I accept the gift as my Lord to spread the faith and save those who live in pain and despair, or should I choose to give up on all this and continue to be a numb walking zombie living in confusion.
I think this shouldn’t be a difficult decision. ”
Graia expressed his intentions straightforwardly.
He is not Zuo Si. He will guide slowly with interest, and even use psychological tricks to make the other party succumb to his will. In the end, he will have no choice but to become part of the plan.
In his opinion, these mortals are not worth his time and energy.
If one batch doesn’t work, the worst case scenario is another batch.
Anyway, there are at least a thousand active expedition teams in this world.
“I am willing to become your believer! Accept your gift!”
The leader, who was already quite old, knelt down for the second time. Although his eyes were not as wild as the previous woman's, they were very firm.
Because he knew very well that he would not be able to work in this industry for long.
Especially because the physical fitness is declining every year, it may not be long before someone is exhausted, fell to death, froze to death, or died of diarrhea or gastrointestinal diseases during a long journey.
But if he can obtain those supernatural powers, he can transform into preaching, and then establish a church to enjoy a comfortable life and longer life like the priests in the city through donations from believers.
“Very good.”
Greia showed a satisfied look and gave this middle-aged man his own mark and shadow physique.
In this way, under the "Head Sheep Effect", the members of the entire expedition knelt down and worshiped the Prince of Darkness one after another, establishing a connection of faith with different levels of piety.
In order to facilitate the spread of faith, he gave the mage a minimum level of LV1, regardless of whether the perception attribute passed the test.
After all, the mystery and supernatural power of magic is always the most awe-inspiring thing in this primitive and ignorant world.
When these "miracles" appear in various gathering places, those deceptive and false religions will soon be eliminated.
In the end, only Rebecca stood motionless, with a look of great struggle on her face.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to kneel down to gain more power, but that her inner rejection of religion makes it impossible to establish a connection with faith.
“Don’t force yourself. Faith is belief from the heart, and it is an understanding and practice of the teachings of the gods you serve. If you can’t let go of the baggage of the past, you might as well try to practice it first. "The teachings."
Greya spoke directly to interrupt the other party's mental internal friction.
After all, he is still very interested in the rare superpowers in this world, and does not intend to drive this young girl crazy.
"Doctrine? What is that?"
Sweating Rebecca raised her head and stared into the deep eyes of the Prince of Darkness.
"It's my ideal, my wish, what kind of world I plan to create. I believe you have seen the changes that have happened to them, right?"
Greya pointed. Others, including the tour leader.
Rebecca nodded slightly: "Well, yes, their body structure seems to have undergone some changes."
"This is actually a manifestation of gaining the shadow physique.
In other words, their life forms have been transformed, they are no longer afraid of the cold, and their demand for food and water will also be greatly reduced.< br>
This means that they are even more adaptable to this cruel world
Even if one day the heat from the earth's core disappears, the entire planet will be covered by temperatures of more than two hundred degrees Celsius from the inside out. Shrouded in low temperatures, you can still survive
And I plan to transform everyone in this world into this.
In this way, there will no longer be hunger and cold, and people can be freed from despair and re-establish a glorious civilization.
I will turn you into my dependents and give you knowledge and strength.
What you have to do is to serve me as Lord and dedicate your faith and spiritual world.
Well, this plan isn't that hard to accept, is it? ”
While saying these words, Grea had an approachable smile on her face, looking like a kind god who saved people from fire and water.
But in reality?
He directly concealed the terrible side effects of transforming into half-shadow creatures and shadow creatures.
Especially relying on negative energy to survive corrodes the soul and consciousness, which is basically changing the personality while retaining the memory.
Looking at those who have obtained the shadow physique, you will know that from this moment on, they have been firmly bound to the Prince of Darkness, and there is no possibility of betrayal or giving up their faith.
Unfortunately, Rebecca did not notice this. Instead, she felt that this should be a good thing for all mankind. After thinking about it for a while, she quickly nodded vigorously: "Yes, this Perhaps it is the only way to save the world and mankind. I am willing to try to practice your teachings and gradually develop faith from them.”
"Very good. I have just prepared a batch of potions here that can allow people to obtain shadow physique, as well as books on how to learn and use magic. Now you can take them and other supplies back to the underground world."
< br>Graia waved her hand and directly showed what she had ordered the New Phyrexia creations to prepare.
Those are more than twenty oil trucks that have been modified to travel through the complex terrain of the underground world. Each one is loaded with more than one hundred tons of cargo. In the past, it could only be transported on human backs and sleds. For the expedition team, this kind of transportation efficiency is definitely a miracle that cannot even be imagined.
If it is successfully transported back, the entire underground city will completely boil.
Even those high-ranking nobles will cheer for it, and even allow them to enter the inner city and become part of the ruling class.
"Please rest assured that we will never let down your trust and expectations, and will definitely spread your name to every settlement in the entire underground world."
The team leader slapped his chest hard and vowed to give the assurance.
Because he had just obtained the Shadow Physique, the desires in some aspects of his heart did not disappear immediately, so he had already imagined in his mind how much wealth and power he could get by bringing so many supplies back.
“I hope so.
Now go to the guest room prepared for you and have a good sleep. When you wake up, let’s set off on the return journey.
Remember, I am not a stingy host.
Whoever makes a performance will be rewarded, whether it is strength, power, status, or wealth including money.
But if anyone only wants to use my name to make his life better, then he will lose grace and be severely punished. ”
After saying this, Grea waved to indicate that the expedition team could leave. She picked up the little Arturia in her arms and considered how to educate this little guy to prevent her from becoming like her sister. So naughty and rebellious
