MTL - Overturned Tower-Chapter 40 The secret to ensure mutual destruction (thanks to the leader of the law of heaven)

It is still very difficult to select those qualified to carry the divine will and become "angels"...but they can be mass-produced after all.

The legion composed of a thousand mechanical angels easily broke through the defense line set up by the mages.

The previous battle situation was instantly reversed—

Although the upper limit of mages is still much higher than that of the Holy See, powerful mages need hundreds of years of continuous training, but the Angel Legion can copy them with one click as long as they find qualified ones.

It's almost like a craftsman's fine workshop, struggling against the cold and ruthless factory assembly line.

The mages lost their resistance in an instant...but the war was not over.

As the war becomes more anxious, as the hearts of the people are filled with more and more despair, pain, resentment, and fear, the spells used by the mages who gain power from the subconscious of the group become more and more vicious . The mages whose links are too deep have gradually changed their personalities—like one after another resentful souls who only exist for war and revenge.

In order to completely defeat the resistance of the mages, the Holy See began to use a forbidden weapon.

【That is a death-level weapon that can instantly burn a city-state... I also suffered a fatal injury at that time】

The head portrait of the deer describes it like this.

The more Russell listened, the more something was wrong: I always feel that the Holy See is probably starting to grow mushrooms...

[At that time, the land was cracked, the vegetation was dry, resources were exhausted, and even clean water became a luxury... The old trade routes were completely cut off, the country and city-states were completely disintegrated, and those civilians who did not participate in the war at all, only in the hands of mages and the Holy See In the aftermath of the war, more than half of them were killed or injured]

【It can be said that the world has already been destroyed once at that time】

The earth is full of deadly curses, which can turn people into wolf-like monsters within seven days.

Almost all of the original landforms have been turned into deserts and wastelands—the destructive hot winds and extremely cold ice fields span the world from south to north, and almost all land spaces are no longer inhabitable.

—However, even so, the mage towers that lined the desert were still unable to be captured.

The mages, who have been impregnated by the curse in the group's subconscious, are still unwilling to surrender...or in other words, they are all crazy.

[Because the dawn of complete victory has not been seen for a long time, the only group of mages who maintain their sobriety, I don’t know what kind of negotiations they have reached... Maybe it is the pressure from the dragon, in short, they suddenly rebelled collectively]

【They are those elf mages】

The head of the deer said a fact that did not surprise Russell.

It was almost the same as Russell's guess—the undead dragon was not interested in these things at all, but when the scale of the war escalated to the doomsday war, they finally couldn't sit still and took action to forcefully mediate the war.

And elves, as the only immortal species that are keen on power and wealth, naturally have to hedge their bets. Half of them support the Holy See, and half support the Master.

After the mage's victory dawn could not be seen at all, the elves subordinate to the mage immediately jumped back.

Although the mage's tower standing above the desert was still not captured, the war ended carelessly like this.

Although the Holy See won, it only declared victory unilaterally.

In the long tug-of-war, the high-level members of the Holy See were constantly changing, and in the end more than two-thirds were elves, plus the high-level mages who defected... It can be said that 80% of the high-level people on the winning side are elves.

[There are eight sky fortresses occupied by the Holy See, seven of which are handed over to those elves]

[With the technical support of the giant dragon, the seven sky fortresses used for war were disarmed and transformed into air cities, the living area was enlarged by a hundred times, and a complex ecological environment was obtained. It has become a large floating island that can accommodate tens of millions of residents]

[Those surviving civilians are less than one-tenth of the population compared to the peak period. They all migrated to the floating island and became the first residents of the empty island]

And the remaining sky fortress has not been rebuilt and expanded, and still retains its armed forces. That is the only Sky Fortress held by the Holy See.

[They named it "Holy Temple" and placed the "Scripture Server" in it]

After that, there was the corporate era...that is, the sky era.

Those cursed and polluted lands are not completely destroyed, and are still undergoing long-term self-repair.

The dragon did not grant the elves the power to establish a country, so the elves did not dare to directly claim the king; naturally, the elves were not allowed to establish laws and form an army. The previous weapons had to be destroyed, the army disbanded, and production resumed.

Although there is no "king", the new life still needs order.

So after the dragon left, the elves created the "company system", occupied seven empty islands, and established seven companies.

"...This is the Big Seven."

Russell suddenly realized.

【Yes】

The deer head figure affirmed.

"Why did the elves benefit the most in the war between the Holy See and the mages?"

New doubts appeared in Russell's mind: "What about the dragon and the Holy See?"

[The dragons are repairing the damaged land. Except for the giant dragon named "Hudson", who has enough enthusiasm for the "company" system, so he personally manages the company as the chairman of the board, and the rest of the dragons do not live on the empty island that nominally belongs to them]

[As for the Holy See... because of the order of "destroying weapons" and "disbanding the army", the angelic mechanical legions were all frozen and refrigerated]

[The act of modifying the will of others is undoubtedly "evil". Once this secret is known and acknowledged by all, the consciousness of the human group will also change accordingly. The power of the Holy Order obtained by the Holy See through modifying the will will be reduced to nothing...so in order to cover up this secret, and also to increase people's acceptance of the act of modifying the will, the Holy See changed its name to "Cyber ​​Church", bluntly stating that their The power comes from God - the collective subconscious mind. Therefore, they will not be able to devote themselves to "gods" throughout their lives]

[Unless everyone's will is entered into the "Holy Code", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, then the scripture server itself is a collection of the consciousness of all human beings—that is, God manifested in the world. Everyone can use everyone's knowledge and will, and everyone's will is both free and collective. If it is interpreted in this way, then "Mechanical Angel" is nothing more than a forerunner]

[Today, the Angel Legion does exist, and the scripture server that can mass-produce angels is still running... and the company knows that the Holy See used to modify the will of believers, artificial angels, use forbidden weapons and many other crimes, so they are in a state of ensuring mutual destruction, but they are safe nothing】

…does this count as a nuclear deterrent?

Russell's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Then, chief... why are you telling me these secrets?"

He had no doubts that once he knew so many secrets, he would surely die without a place to bury him.

unless…

[This is also to ensure mutual destruction]

[Just knowing these top-level secrets, no matter where you are an agent, is enough to be sentenced to exile—unless you are willing to completely format your personality, but that is no different from death]

— This is to ensure that you will not betray us.

The deer head said bluntly.

【And on the other hand... it is also a foreshadowing for you to understand what I'm going to say next】

These... are just foreshadowing?

"What words?"

Russell asked.

【The chip behind your head】

[Its real meaning is actually to cut off the possibility of becoming a mage—and this is to completely cut off the connection with the mage]
