The first thousand and sixty-seventh chapter relief story
The commotion caused by the out-of-control mutants quickly subsided, and everyone quickly forgot about it and returned their attention to visiting the Poseidon Temple.
The reason why they adjusted their mentality so quickly was not only because the strength of the Eldar guards gave them a sense of security and they did not have to worry about their own safety after such things happened, but also because of the appearance of out-of-control mutants among the people who visited the Poseidon Temple.
This is not a rare thing. In the past, every group of people who went to the Poseidon Temple to worship would have one or two cases.
These out-of-control mutants not only appear in devout believers of other ethnic groups, but also in the clergy of the Sea Tribe, Spirit Tribe and Poseidon Church.
As for the cause of the emergence of out-of-control mutants, there is still no clear answer, but there are several theories that have been circulated among the people. Among them, the most widely spread and recognized as the most likely correct answer is that those out-of-control mutations
They are all false believers, and all their beliefs are disguised. In fact, they are all unbelievers or heretics.
The Sea Tribe, the Spirit Tribe and the Poseidon Church neither deny nor admit this statement, nor do they restrict the spread of this statement. Moreover, when similar mutants appear among their people, they will secretly investigate the out-of-control mutant.
I have had various close contacts with people, and their various behaviors seem to have acquiesced in this statement.
However, now Leo has discovered that the so-called mutants are false believers is actually wrong. The real answer should be the opposite. Not only are the out-of-control mutants not false believers or heretics, but they are the most devout Poseidon believers among all people, and even
Not even fanatical believers can compare, because the out-of-control mutation that just occurred is not a punishment in a sense, but a blessing, because that kind of mutation is called sanctification in the church of Velen's world.
In the church in the world of Velen, some extremely devout believers will receive blessings from the gods during a certain church ceremony. During the blessing, their bodies will undergo rapid transformation. If his body can withstand the transformation, then he will
He will eventually become a living saint of the church, and his status will rise rapidly. Even if he was just a beggar before, the moment he becomes a living saint, his status will almost rival that of the pope or archbishop of the church.
But if the body cannot survive the consecration, it will be completely purified, and the purified remains of the body will become the holy relics of the church.
When the out-of-control mutation appeared on that person just now, Leo's mental network had already probed the past. Although the effectiveness of the mental network was weakened a lot due to the influence of the surrounding environment, even if it was weakened, he could still clearly sense it.
to the physical condition of that mutant.
In other people's eyes, that person's mutation is out of control, but in Leo's perception, the mutation in that person's body is orderly, and every mutation is very stable, absolutely not out of control, and more importantly, the other person's body's mutation is very stable.
The life energy is also increasing steadily and rapidly. It is no exaggeration to say that if the mutant is not killed, his life will complete a phased evolution, and if he can survive the evolution, he will transform into a higher level.
Otherwise, the energy generated by the evolution of life will backfire and completely destroy it. This process of destruction is somewhat similar to uncontrolled mutation.
Not everyone has a strong sense of energy changes like Leo, and has a spiritual network that can check the status of other people's bodies. Therefore, it is also very difficult to distinguish between sanctified people and out-of-control mutants. The practices of various churches in the Velen world are very simple.
, that is, locking up the mutant until his mutation is over.
If it is an out-of-control mutant, deal with it directly, but if it is a saint, release it and then focus on cultivating it.
However, it is obvious that the churches and ethnic groups in Poseidon's world handle such situations more directly. Regardless of whether they are mutants or sanctified ones, they are all executed, saving the manpower and time required for identification.
At this time, Leo noticed that the shaman on the other boat seemed to be getting nervous, and his hands were subconsciously playing with the bone necklace around his neck from time to time. Obviously, the necklace around his neck was very important to the shaman. Leo guessed that maybe
This is what enables this pagan shaman to dare to come to the Poseidon Temple.
Although Leo didn't know how strong the natural shaman's reliance was, at least his mental network couldn't sense the energy fluctuations of the bone necklace, but he could detect the other person's mood after the appearance of the so-called out-of-control mutant.
He was a lot more nervous. Such a mentality would be very passive in front of the power of the gods that can most affect the spirit and soul. Even if the disguise on the nature shaman can deceive the power of the sea god, the loopholes in his mentality may also become his
Achilles' heel.
However, Leo has no way to help him now. Although he is very curious about the inheritance of this natural shaman, his curiosity is not strong enough for him to take risks, so he can only be a bystander.
Let’s see if this natural shaman is lucky enough to pass the test next time.
There is obviously also the effect of superimposed space in Silver Moon Lake. The ship has been sailing on the water at almost full speed for several hours and still has not reached the island in the lake where the Poseidon Temple is located. According to the Eldar people, it will take at least half a tidal day of sailing.
, to reach the Poseidon Temple on the island in the lake.
During this period, several more people mutated out of control one after another. Among these people were not only those who visited the Poseidon Temple this time, but also people from the Spirit Tribe. Under the observation of Leo's mental network, these few people were regarded as out-of-control mutants.
Among the people, only one is a saint phenomenon, and the others are true out-of-control mutants. The genetic cells in their bodies change rapidly and disorderly due to the stimulation of the surrounding Poseidon power, eventually leading to the complete collapse of the body.
Among these mutants, one person's body mutated so quickly that in just a few breaths, he had already collapsed into a puddle of mud before the Spirit Tribe people could execute him.
And Leo discovered that this man's mutation was not due to his own fault, but because he was known to be causing trouble in secret, and the person who secretly did it was the natural shaman that Leo was paying attention to.
I don’t know if that person had a grudge against the natural shaman, or if the natural shaman was trying something. When the person wasn’t paying attention, the natural shaman used some kind of shamanic magic to inject some kind of energy into the person’s body.
It didn't take long for the man's body to mutate rapidly and out of control.
The rapid collapse of that man's body seemed to frighten the natural shaman, so that his mood fluctuated greatly afterwards. If possible, he might have quit. Now he is afraid that he regrets this visit to the shrine.
Poseidon Temple’s move.
Leo already had a vague feeling that this natural shaman might be in danger. If it had been a few hours ago, when the ship had just left the port, he might have been able to help this natural shaman, but now he can't
I was a little overwhelmed, because as I got closer and closer to the Poseidon Temple, the Poseidon's divine power in the surrounding air became stronger and stronger, and this divine power was also accompanied by a kind of murmur that went straight into the soul.
This kind of mumbling sound is very special and not everyone can hear it. Only a few people with special perception can hear these sounds, and the sound that everyone hears seems to be different. For example, what Leo heard was a
The elderly woman's voice spoke a completely unfamiliar language, while some people heard singing, noise, and even the sound of the ocean tide.
For those Poseidon believers, these murmurs are more like a blessing from Poseidon. They accepted this blessing with disdain and listened carefully, hoping to hear the revelation given to them by the gods.
However, for Leo, a believer, this sound is completely a spiritual attack. He can feel that as this sound is injected into his ears, his spirit also appears under the influence of this sound.
Some changes, for which he had to focus on resisting this kind of mumbling, and the method he used to resist the mumbling was very simple, that is, to use other mumbling to dilute the mumbling.
The effect of this approach is naturally significant. Leo can easily eliminate the adverse effects of this kind of gibbering, but to maintain the balance of this kind of gibbering confrontation requires Leo to invest a lot of energy, so Leo will
The attention of others around him was withdrawn, and he concentrated on controlling the balance of the babble.
When a person is concentrating on one thing, time passes very quickly. As the island where the Poseidon Temple is located enlarges at a speed visible to the naked eye, half a tidal day also passes, and the strange thing is that the murmurs also
At this time it gradually weakens and eventually disappears.
After Leo's murmur disappeared, he shifted his attention to the outside world again, and soon paid attention to the island of the Poseidon Temple, which was gradually approaching.
For others, the island of Poseidon Temple is very magical. The entire island is made up of countless hexagonal stone pillars of different sizes and lengths. There are mountains composed of hexagonal stone pillars, and cliffs composed of six hexagonal stone pillars.
The coast is composed of angular stone pillars, etc., so that the entire island does not look like a natural one at all, but more like an artificial one. Therefore, some people say that only the power of Poseidon can create this regular island.
However, this kind of magical terrain in the eyes of others seems very ordinary in the eyes of the well-informed Leo. He has seen even more magical terrain in the universe, and this kind of terrain looks like it is artificially made.
In his opinion, the hexagonal stone pillar island can also be created through natural evolution.
Compared to the magical shape of the island, Leo paid more attention to the towering temples built with spiral buildings and boulders on the island.
Because we have seen giant buildings on Yam Island in the past, although the current Poseidon Temple is majestic and huge, Leo does not take it too seriously. The only thing in the temple that is really worthy of Leo's investment is the temple.
The reliefs on the outer wall are gone.
Before the ship even docked, Leo had already used his spiritual vision to view the relief pattern on the top of the Poseidon Temple from a super long distance.
Just like the temples or altars of all churches, the temple where Poseidon sleeps also uses reliefs and other methods to depict some of Poseidon's past achievements that can be called great achievements.
When Leo saw those reliefs, he was attracted by the painting above at first sight, because a large number of interstellar battleships were depicted in that painting, including many Veiya motherships, and there were even clear images on it.
The emblem of the Waya people tribe was engraved on it.
It can be seen from the picture that Poseidon was confronting the Weiya spacecraft at that time, and on the side of Poseidon, many civilian spaceships could be seen retreating.
From these patterns, it is easy to see that the situation at that time was that the Waya people were attacking some cosmic civilizations, and Poseidon was protecting the evacuation of these cosmic civilizations and blocking the Waya people's attack.
The content expressed by this group of reliefs is extremely clear. Even people who do not know anything about cosmic civilization and war can easily understand the meaning after looking at this group of reliefs.
But after Leo saw this set of reliefs, he had a lot of doubts, because according to his understanding of cosmic civilization, that set of reliefs contained a lot of contradictory content that could not be explained.
First of all, the biggest contradiction is who carved this set of reliefs, because the spaceships in the reliefs are extremely finely carved, and even tiny parts like the energy beam deflectors on both sides of the spaceship are carved out, and
There are also a large number of fleet number codes and so on engraved on them. Unless one knows these spaceships very well, it is absolutely impossible to carve them in such detail.
In addition, there are too many unreasonable contradictions in the content. For example, among the escaping cosmic civilizations, at least three of them are advanced cosmic civilizations, which are only stronger or not weaker than the civilization of the Waya people. The Waya people have to deal with one of them.
The cosmic civilizations are powerful enough, but now they have a crushing advantage over three advanced cosmic civilizations and dozens of intermediate cosmic civilizations, forcing these civilizations to flee their homes. Among the cosmic civilizations he knows, this is even the most absurd delusion.
No one dared to think so.
In addition, Poseidon is an omega-level advanced life form. Regardless of whether he is the mother of water or not, he has extremely powerful combat power in the universe. With the level of civilization of the Weiya people, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the strength of a branch tribe alone.
Competing with a real Omega-level advanced life form.
Judging from the relief screen, Poseidon seems to be on the weaker side. The opponent's interstellar battleship suppresses Poseidon very seriously and may defeat Poseidon at any time. Even Leo can see that the figure in the screen uses symbols instead of images.
Poseidon cannot hold out for long.
The biggest doubt about the entire relief is the location of the battlefield. The person who carved this set of reliefs was very meticulous. He even used the star map marking the location of the battlefield as the background to carve it on the relief. And the star map above is the most important place in the universe in the universe.
