Panlong: Science Comes to the Magical Universe

Chapter 16: Althorp versus Adkins?

"What a pity. You are a faithful believer, but you choose to believe in Augusta, the Lord of Light."

Huo Si sighed, not knowing how to comment on the Pope's choice for a moment. He felt a mixture of admiration and regret.

Naturally, he would not have any good feelings towards the character of Augusta.

Although Augusta and Auf are essentially the same person, their personalities are completely different.

Auf is a true seeker. He has been pursuing the goal of breaking through this world all his life, and his original intention has never changed.

And Augusta is a domineering and arrogant guy who only cares about power.

It is not wrong for the Pope of Light to believe in the Lord of Light. In a sense, what he believes in is not the real Lord of Light.

What he believed in was the Lord of Light in his heart, a great, kind, and protective Lord who would protect his people. He was a fictitious illusion.

Most ordinary people have fantasized that there is a God in this world and that as long as they believe in him, they can get protection.

However, in reality, there is no God who listens to your beliefs. In the magical universe, the so-called Gods are essentially the same as humans.

There is no difference in human needs, human joys and sorrows. It’s just that God’s power is strong, and the levels of pursuit of God and humans are different.

The so-called gods, after all, are just gods with special powers, with a slightly different name, and the same goes for the main gods.

With the fall of a light-attributed divine power, this war of gods finally came to an end.

At this point, the Interstellar Federation's unification of the continent has become unstoppable, and Huo Si is about to become the true ruler of the Qingya continent.

"Lord Huosi, can you tell us how you became so powerful?"

After the battle, Althorp was the first one who couldn't hold back and was the first to humble himself and call him "Sir".

At least, he didn't think it was shameful. How much was face worth? The strength in hand was the foundation.

If calling "sir" can make them stronger, naturally countless people will do it, just like countless holy realms will refine it without hesitation even though they know that their cultivation will hardly improve after refining the godhood.

"Of course, my strength comes from the power of science."

Huo Si did not hide and answered directly.

As for these people, Huo Si hopes that they can help him with research in the future, whether it is obtaining resources or fighting.

Although Huo Si was not a manager in his previous life, he knew the most basic principle of using both kindness and severity.

The Panlong Universe decides everything by force, but if force is used alone to force them to surrender, it will inevitably lay a lot of hidden dangers for the future.

Pusiluo and Aliquin are a very typical example, they are master and servant who should support and help each other, and partners in life and death.

In the end, they were turned into mortal enemies, which was far different from the mortal brothers like Beibei and Lin Lei.

Lin Lei and Bei Bei, on the surface, are master and pet, but in fact, Lin Lei always treats Bei Bei as his younger brother, otherwise Beirut would not allow it.

When Beibei was blown away by the Thornback Armored Dragon in order to protect Linley, Linley went crazy and no matter how Derin called out to him, it was useless.

When Linley was on the verge of death in the plane battlefield, Beibei directly threatened Magnus and always protected Linley.

If Linley really died there, Beibei might have turned evil and practiced hard until one day he could fight against Magnus.

This feeling was pure and lasting. Compared to Delia, Beibei was sometimes more like Linley's partner.

Although, Huo Si did not dare to expect such a sincere relationship and emotion.

However, Huos hoped that these guys in front of him would not become alienated from him like Pusiluo.

To this end, the best way is to make people truly recognize science and truly hope to conduct scientific research together.

Only in this way can we achieve a win-win situation with half the effort.

Moreover, once they join the Academy of Sciences, it will definitely be a great help to Huo Si now.

After all, the biggest advantage of a god-level powerhouse is not anything else, but lifespan.

In the magical universe, as long as one reaches the god level, not only will one have an infinite lifespan and be able to conduct research for tens of thousands of years without stopping, but one can also extract divine power from the elemental ocean.

These are all ready-made sources of energy, talent reserves for scientific research, and important trump cards for future development.

Now he only has researchers at the Sanctuary level under his command. Although the lifespan of a Sanctuary strongman is not limited, he cannot use divine power. So there is still a gap between them.

In the future, some more difficult research will still require stronger talents. If we leave these to god-level strongmen, the results will definitely be more powerful.

"Science? What's that?"

Sarana asked in confusion, and the others also looked confused.

"Everyone, follow me."

Huo Si thought about it and spoke to a few people. He didn't explain too much, but asked everyone to accompany him.

Afterwards, Huo Si led them towards the Academy of Sciences amid everyone's puzzled looks.

"This is the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences. It is the headquarters for studying various scientific projects and also the foundation for improving my strength."

Huo Si introduced the people behind him, then shrugged and walked in first.

"Hmm? This gate?"

After everyone stopped at the door, they all looked at the metal door in front of them with a little surprise.

The structure of the entire door does not look complicated, it is just ordinary metal, and it is clearly written on the door that this is a restricted laboratory area and no entry for unauthorized persons.

If they saw this kind of door somewhere else, they probably wouldn't even give it a second look.

Of course, what surprised them was not what was written on the door, but the fact that their spiritual consciousness could not pass through this door.

This is strange. Divine sense detection is a unique ability of god-level strongmen. They can clearly feel everything within the range. At least in their cognition, only higher-level gods can avoid detection.

And now, a door can actually block the detection of god-level strongmen. For a moment, their faces became a little solemn.

"This is the entrance to the laboratory. The gate uses the latest technology, the Anti-God Domain System, which can effectively prevent the invasion of the God Domain. It is a system specifically designed for the God Domain."

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Huo Si could naturally guess what they were thinking, so he slowly began to explain.

[Identity confirmed, Supreme Chancellor, Huo Si.]

When Huo Si stood in front of the door, a small hole on it seemed to check something and then made a sound.

As the metal door made a series of noises, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and a corridor leading to the underground slowly emerged.

"Come in, everyone."

Huo Si glanced at the confused crowd and walked in first.

"There's actually such a large space underground?"

Althorp, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but speak. They had been walking for several minutes, but they hadn't reached the end.

Although they did not move forward at full speed, they were god-level powerful beings after all. Even if they were walking, their speed was unmatched by ordinary people.

"Of course, this underground base was gradually built a hundred years ago. It is now two thousand meters underground and can accommodate three hundred thousand people."

As Huo Si spoke, he pointed to the glass window and began to introduce:

"The first building on the left is the Micro-Particle Magnetic Field Research Department. Their research mainly includes the God's Domain and Soul Defense Artifacts. There will probably be others in the future. Currently, they can already make Soul Defense Artifacts."

"A soul defense artifact? Can it be made? I once asked Lord Kaido, the Plane Defender, for advice."

Alrock was startled and spoke immediately:
"He told me that in the face of the enemy's soul attack, in addition to using one's own soul power to resist, one can also use soul defense artifacts. However, soul defense artifacts can only be refined by extremely powerful upper gods, and we cannot touch them."

The Plane Defender did not give a detailed explanation, but he could more or less guess that the soul defense artifact must be extremely precious even in the God Plane.

Maybe even the higher gods are not qualified to possess it.

And now, in their material plane, there is a lower-level god who can create soul defense artifacts.

Alrock's first reaction was that he might be crazy, but then, if this person was Huo Si, he seemed to understand.

"You are right, but here, I and my subordinates can use science to create soul defense artifacts! Moreover, we can mass-produce them!"

Huo Si looked up and answered as a matter of course.

"hiss!"

"Mass production?"

For a moment, several people looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

For a moment, everyone fell silent and no one spoke.

The soul is the foundation of God. Even though no one present is good at the soul, it does not prevent them from attaching importance to the soul itself.

"Well, Lord Huosi, if I join your army and make contributions, will there be a chance for me to obtain the soul defense artifact?"

Elroc's eyes exuded desire, and he was the first to change his words, calling him "Sir" directly.

This look was completely different from his previous rebellious appearance, which made Huo Si feel a little embarrassed.

"Lord Huo Si, if you have any mission, you can just assign it to me. I won't hesitate!"

Allsopp had a "righteous" look on his face and gave Alroch a look.

It was as if to say, get out of here, I was the first one to call you Lord Huosi.

"Look at how useless you are."

Huo Si glanced at the others. Most of their eyes were filled with desire, and he couldn't help but be speechless.

He had no doubt that this soul defense artifact would be enough to make them all call him Lord Huosi.

I still like your rebellious look back then!

"Look, why are you in such a hurry? This is just a part of it."

Huo Si did not rush to express his attitude. Instead, he looked to the other side while speaking and continued to introduce:

"That's the Nuclear Power Research Institute. They study the use of nuclear weapons."

"You may not quite understand it, but you just need to know that it is a technology that can store divine power and apply it in various ways."

Huo Si took out a can of Coke from his space ring and continued slowly:
"You probably don't have any idea about nuclear weapons, so it's better to let you experience them in person, Althorp!"

"Yes, Lord Huosi, as you command."

When Althorp heard this, he immediately patted his chest and answered, with an attitude of "leave it to me".

"Go to the training area in the southwest. Adkins is waiting for you there. You can spar with him directly later."

As Huo Si spoke, he pressed a button to open a passage leading directly to the exercise area.

"Ah? Let me spar with Adkins?"

Althorp asked in confusion, he almost doubted if he had heard it wrongly.

It’s not that this task is difficult, on the contrary, it is too simple.

However, Adkins seems to be in the Holy Domain at present. What is the purpose of the Holy Domain competing with the lower gods?
Allsopp was a little confused. Could such a task really be called a task?
"Don't worry, you can't hurt him, just use all your strength."

Hoth saw through Allsopp's thoughts and spoke directly, full of confidence in Adkins.

"I understand, my lord."

Although he was somewhat confused, Allsopp responded and headed towards the exercise area.

"Do you think that the Sanctuary can defeat the lower gods?"

After Allsopp left, Hoth spoke first, glancing at everyone.

"This is impossible. There is an essential gap between the Holy Domain and the Divine Level."

Sarana was the first to shake her head. She didn't think that the Sanctuary had any chance of defeating God.

"You are right. The Holy Land and God are two different concepts. So, in your opinion, what are the specific differences between them?"

Huo Si did not refute directly, but continued to speak.

"It's mainly in three aspects. The first is the divine domain, which can make the Holy Land unable to move. The second is divine power. The divine body transformed by divine power cannot be compared even to the Holy Land with the Source of Life Pearl.

"The third is the comprehension of the laws. Of course, this is not as important as the first two points. After all, there is not much difference in the laws between the lower gods and the holy realm. The most critical one is the first one..."

Alrock answered and quickly sorted out his thoughts. However, at this point, he suddenly realized something:
"Lord Huosi, do you mean that you can eliminate these three advantages?"

"Didn't you just see it? The system that eliminates the realm of God."

Huo Si smiled calmly, his tone full of pride.

"This……"

Elroc was speechless for a moment, he had never thought about what it would be like if the lower gods did not have the divine domain and fought against the holy domain limit, because it was simply impossible.

The realm of God is God's inherent ability, and no sanctuary can break the realm of God, so this assumption is not valid and has no meaning.

But today, they have seen with their own eyes something that can offset the realm of God.

Alrock couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. Althorp, you won't really lose to a sanctuary today, right?

If this kind of thing really happened, it would be a lot of fun, and it would be a huge shock to their previous worldview.
