Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The moment their fingers touched the smooth "egg" surface, Ye He and Catalina both felt a strong pulling force.

"Whoosh..."

The next second, the two of them quickly shrank in size and were absorbed into the "world in the egg".

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of light black energy cannons exploded in the air, blasting the remaining Anti's clones into pieces and turning them into mud and sand.

Aurora herself also discovered the true nature of Anti. This giant beast did not possess the ability to regenerate and differentiate infinitely, but had the ability to differentiate and split itself.

From half a minute ago, this giant beast seemed to have reached the limit of its ability, and the clones that were blown to pieces by itself no longer split into more.

The long-lost sunshine has fallen on Aurora, making her even more excited.

But just as Ye He and Katarina stood firm in this devastated world... all the remaining Anti's clones stiffened at the same time, and at the same time disintegrated into mud and sand and fell to the ground.

"It's over...you guys..."

In the midst of the wind and sand, Aurora saw Yehe and Katarina standing in the egg-shaped dust-proof barrier.

Both of them can achieve this "barrier effect". Ye He is a little faster than Catalina, so this barrier was made by Ye He using Camelot and is silver in color.

Facing Aurora's frowning gaze, Ye He smiled at her and asked:
"Have you figured out how to apologize to me?"

Ok?
Catalina, who was standing next to Ye He, immediately raised her eyebrows. She didn't want to see Ye He and Aurora stop fighting.

Ye He might not have as many "methods" as himself, but his "methods" were several levels higher than his own. At least he could not hire the Mashims Circus.

Catalina knew very well that this was not something that could be accomplished with money.

And Evelya... and the Holy Spirit beside him... and even himself!
In Catalina's eyes, Ye He and his people are the symbol of "breaking all laws with one force", simple and brutal to the extreme.

Ye He himself called it efficient, and Catalina didn't mind having such a partner to fight the enemy together.

But now Ye He said this to Aurora? Did he see some of Aurora's strengths and was ready to forgive her?
"Lululu! Of course not! You let the bugs bite me! I'll remember this grudge!"

Fortunately, Aurora just stuck out her tongue at Ye He and politely declined Ye He's "kindness".

"it's a pity……"

Ye He also smiled and shook his head, then made a "please" gesture to Katarina.

Has Catalina expressed her opinion?

No, it’s time for Catalina to show her strength and sincerity!
Aurora's target from the beginning to the end was only Catalina's life. All her attacks on Ye He were because Catalina and Ye He were close, that's all.

After all, Catalina had already widely publicized the story of her and Ye He's "knowing each other and falling in love", just to grasp the power of "Ye He" in her own hands.

Strictly speaking, the current hostility between Yehe and Aurora was also secretly facilitated by Catalina.

But Ye He is not stupid, and Aurora is not stupid either.

They had met in the Witch City and knew each other's partial background and strength. They had long formed a tacit understanding of mutual deterrence in strategy and almost non-interference in other aspects.

Even if Catalina had painstakingly broken this tacit understanding, there was no need for them to fight to the death before Catalina, the "culprit", paid the price.

That's why Ye He deliberately asked those monster cadres who would definitely be caught by Aurora to go out to "manpower" monitor Sedawell.

So apart from the first two arrows, Aurora did not let the dragon hunter continue shooting Ye He or the lover beside Ye He.

Even though they had never sat down and communicated formally before, nor exchanged opinions with each other.

Their designs for each other are enough to convey their ideas to each other.

And now, there is such a good environment. Ye He and Aurora both want to hear Catalina's ideas and see Catalina's confidence!
Yes, in this matter, it was never Aurora who "took the initiative" to start a war against Catalina or Yehe, but Catalina attacked Aurora first!

Ye He did not ask Jennifer, the head of the Continental Hotel in Sigvig, but was able to guess this fact just by Ekaterina's attitude.

Katarina took the initiative to go to the Imperial Research Institute with the intention of destroying the body parts of the Monster King that Ekaterina left for Ye He to "play with". This behavior itself is problematic.

The returning Ekaterina did not say anything to Katerina, nor did she have any intention of protecting Katerina. This action also informed Ye He of her intentions.

Why do we adults get involved when children fight? Whoever gave birth to the child should be the one to take care of it!
If Catalina doesn't give an answer that satisfies Ye He now, Ye He doesn't mind meeting William IV tonight.

Catalina also realized what Ye He meant. She first showed a somewhat aggrieved expression to Ye He. Seeing that Ye He was still smiling and his eyes were sharp, she could only sigh in her heart.

After adjusting her expression, Catalina suddenly asked Ye He a question instead of a reply:

"Did you make the blueprints for the new steam engine for Auntie?"

"Yes."

Ye He almost showed a surprised expression. He couldn't help but feel confused in his heart. Catalina mentioned the new steam engine at this time...what's the point?
You know, Ekaterina is tinkering with electricity!

No matter how "new" the new steam engine is, as long as Catherine produces results, the world's industry will usher in a revolution.

“The Federation uses a new type of steam engine. Auntie’s current research project…was studied by the Federation many years ago, but they turned their attention back to the new type of steam engine.

Do you want to know why? "

As soon as Catalina opened her mouth, she captured Ye He's "interest".

She actually told Ye He that the Federation's scientific research on "electricity" started countless years earlier than the Empire?

Ye He, who had just returned from the Federation, knew very well that the Federation was still using steam power and had not developed any decent way to use "electricity".

Facing Katarina's smile, and the purple lightning flickering between her brows...

Ye He suddenly asked Catalina in surprise:

"You mean... the technology lock has not been opened? It still exists in the most basic rules of this world?"

Yes! Ye He should have figured this out long ago!
There is something that limits the technological development of this world!

Katarina possesses some kind of dragon bloodline that can control lightning. To be more specific, the "dragon" she belongs to is a special kind of dragon that tends to control "electricity" and "electromagnetic waves" at the microscopic level.

If "electricity" could be born in this world... Catalina must be the originator of all "electricity" applications. She should have come up with an "Electrical Engineering" long ago! But she didn't! Or... couldn't? !

"Technology lock? I can probably understand the meaning of this term...

That's right, just as you said, it is because of the existence of the technology lock that we have to continue using the steam engine and continue to use the steam melted by the power of monsters as energy.

But the problem is, Yehe, you have been in this world for a long time, and your experience is no less than any great and strong man in this world.

I ask you... do you understand the power of monsters?"

An extremely deep and dark energy began to surge in Catalina's body, and then changed into black thunder, which complemented Catalina's original purple thunder.

If Aurora's power gives people the feeling of "chaos" and "evil", then Catalina at this moment is becoming full of "vitality" and... "decrepitude"?
No...it was a feeling of "vitality" coming from the purple thunder combined with the "corruption" and "decay" coming from the black thunder.

Opposing, yet unexpectedly very "harmonious"!
Just like using electric lights and kerosene lamps at the same time, everyone understands that they are both lighting fixtures.

But no one can ignore the difference between electric lights and kerosene lamps, or the difference between "advanced" and "backward".

Ye He's eyes gradually brightened, he had already guessed what Catalina's "confidence" was.

"Thank you for providing me with the blueprints, Ye He. The new steam engine is useful and is exactly the same as the one in the Federation."

Catalina, who was surrounded by two-colored thunder, leaned slightly towards Ye He and nodded, expressing her sincere gratitude.

"in addition……"

When Catalina raised her head, one of her eyes had turned completely black, and more and more black thunders representing "backwardness" and "decay" began to linger over her.

"In accordance with the will of the Lord of Corruption, its only apostle, Katharina Williamette, expresses her gratitude to you."

"You're welcome."

Ye He stroked his chest with one hand and swept the other hand behind him. He and Catalina nodded and bowed to each other.

He accepted Katarina's identity as an "apostle" and expressed his gratitude to him on behalf of the "Lord of Corruption" behind her.

As for what exactly is the Lord of Corruption...

Ye He straightened his back again and looked at the name that appeared above Katarina's head:
[Katerina Williamite] (Pure-blooded Dragon of Progress, the only apostle of the deceased True God's Corruption, the Responder who links the present "backwardness" with the past "progress")
The existing "backwardness"... is that the steam engine?
Past "progress"...

Ye He remembered a "future relic" that Ekaterina had shown him, which was a rusty magnetic coil!
In other words, at some time in the past, perhaps in this era... the technology of this world has actually developed to the level of using "electricity"?
In other words... based on the "relics" that are gradually being discovered by humans on the continent... did this world actually once possess technology that was no less powerful than the world before Ye He traveled through time?

The East... This Continent... The Northern Barbarians... The Endless Sea...

A bold idea gradually emerged in Ye He's mind, but since Ye He did not have enough factual basis to support this idea, he quickly buried it deep in his heart.

"My goal is to... change this world, which cannot use the technology of the 'past'!"

As soon as Catalina opened her mouth, she almost completely confirmed Ye He's thoughts.

That makes sense.

Because the steam engines used now are just like what Catalina just mentioned!

The steam transmitted inside is not the simplest high-temperature water vapor, but a special steam "melted by the power of monsters"!

To put it more simply, the "steam engine" currently used by the Federation and the Empire is not the steam engine that Ye He understands!
They are not the same technology! No matter how similar their structures are, no matter how similar the physical principles and rules they use are...

They are not the same thing!

It was the emergence and existence of the power of demons that changed everything...

This world once experienced a situation where all existing technologies were obsolete, the world was nearly destroyed, and humans were nearly extinct.

It was not until human civilization degenerated back into a slave society that the remaining humans rebuilt civilization by gradually mastering the use of monster power and excavating "ruins".

Until now, humans have obtained... a new "steam engine" energy technology related to the power of monsters!
[…You…can…understand…me…]

A voice came from Catalina and went straight into Ye He's heart.

You... you were born out of humanity's worship of energy...

Ye He couldn't help but feel excited, this guy was a "true god", totally different from those "true gods" like Goddess Yingyue who were only in name only!

Even if He died!

「Yes... ahhhh... I miss my old name so much...」

"Ahhhh!!! Great [True God of Steam and Electricity]! Why did you abandon us!!!"

"Electricity is gone...steam engines are no longer useful...it's over! Our world is over!"

"No!!!!!"

A feeling of grief and sorrow emerged in the voice of this "true God". In an instant, Ye He seemed to see that the faith of tens of millions of believers had collapsed because of the shutdown of energy machines, and they cried out extremely mournfully to this god.

"Forehead……"

The negative emotions contained in these voices were so strong that not even a billionth of their power remained after crossing time and space. The impact also gave Ye He a splitting headache, and he couldn't help but hold his head.

But his divine eye quickly lit up, and his headache was quickly relieved.

"This... this is... is this the eye you gave me?"

[…Yes…at that time…I only had time to do this little…sigh…]

The former [True God of Steam and Electricity], now "resurrected from the dead", the lingering [Lord of Corruption] sighed helplessly to Ye He.

What happened then?
The true god suddenly died? And the rules of the world changed dramatically?

Ye He had a hunch that, including the "true God" before him, they were all mere "conceptual gods" in their time, existing only as a belief.

The appearance of the true God today...is still due to the use of the power of monsters in a new energy technology called "steam engine".

The power of these monsters seemed to be poured into the transformed corpse of the true god, allowing the corrupt true god to regain a trace of divine power, which enabled him to "appear"!
