Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 13 Am I a God?
Anyone who is not in awe of Stonehenge has no intelligence.

The huge stone structure standing on the ice field and floating in the sky has such terrifying power.

The wails of the eleven dead demons created a huge and terrifying wound in the real world, and those symbolic marks shone brightly on the boulder.

These demons locked in the boulders will be tortured for eternity. The gleaming boulders in the air will guide the demons' howlings after being tortured into the cracks. The huge cracks will then feedback pure energy, baptizing everything around them.

The affected areas will be filled with magical energy. This cruel and terrifying ritual site recreates the situation of the first hunt of intelligent life.

The most primitive energy and cracks ran rampant across the chaotic wasteland and were intercepted in this area of ​​200 kilometers. The huge energy, as an extension of Leon's consciousness, changed the nature of the magic snowfield.

The excess magic power almost shook the entire Stonehenge. One could almost see the energy accumulated in the cracks of the chaotic space being guided to the tower in the test area where the landing site was, creating a bright, star-like spectacle in the sky.

Standing at the foot of Stonehenge, looking at the great building in front of him, Leon sighed at the building in front of him and patted the Norseman's shoulder in appreciation.

"You guys did a great job, very good. This is exactly what I needed."

'Your wonder, Stonehenge (magic) has been built!'

'Now you can freely control all magic flows within a radius of 200 kilometers!'

'Optional: Change and rebuild all magic areas such as magic snowfields, magic ice surfaces, magic icebergs, etc. according to your own ideas in a short period of time.'

'Each large-scale magic operation will take anywhere from one day to a month, depending on the operation required. This effect will take effect immediately.'

'Manipulating the direction of the winds of twisting magic may bring unexpected results. Please be careful.'

'You have created a new wonder! Your civilization's progress has increased!'

'Your civilization's wonder progress has accumulated to 100%. After the civilization is created, this trait will become part of your civilization.'

'Your civilization is currently lacking population, cognitive turning points, a second city, or sprawling regions.'

'Please work harder!'

A wonder, the beginning of a great civilization.

The shitty terrain like the magic snowfield will no longer restrict the development of civilization.

However, Leon stood here not just to see this spectacle.

He called everyone out. Under the shaking Stonehenge, Leon looked at the southerner with some wonder. He was bound but still held his head high with a burning gaze.

After Li Ang left, this southerner did not explain everything completely as he had requested. Instead, he exaggerated the process, saying that Li Ang was the side of the goddess and called on everyone to believe in the goddess.

So it just so happened that Li Ang looked at the southerner in front of him and touched his chin with some playfulness.

"Because I lifted the seal of the Holy Grail and happened to call you, you think I am the incarnation of the goddess?"

"Yes."

The bearded southerner stood on the snowy plain. Although he was tied up, he still held his head high and said with full vigor:

"You may not realize it yourself, but there is no doubt that the goddess has a close relationship with you. If it weren't for the goddess' blessing, you would not have been able to obtain the Holy Grail."

"But he's here, for whatever reason. Sooner or later it's going to fall into my hands, isn't it?"

"You are wrong. The Holy Grail has its own spirituality."

Looking at Li Ang's subtle expression, the southerner shook his head with a stern expression.

"The great Holy Grail cannot be polluted by anyone. Even if the most terrible necromancer takes it away, there is no way to break the Holy Grail's imprisonment. Only the Saint of the Lake, or the incarnation of the Goddess, can open the seal of the Holy Grail and unleash its power."

"Oh? Then what power does he have?" "Because I was inspired to become a chivalrous knight, this is the best proof."

Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the Norsemen, the southerner easily broke the thumb-thick rope, walked in front of Leon, knelt on one knee on the snowy field, and bowed his head deeply.

"I will offer my loyalty, my lord. You are undoubtedly the incarnation of the goddess, her walking will, and I will follow you forever until the end of the world."

"..."

How the hell can you explain it like that?

If it weren't for the mess of abominable options marked above, I would have believed it.

Looking at the devout man half-kneeling on the ground, Leon played with the holy grail in his hand that was filled with emerald green breath, and had some thoughts in his mind.

He could certainly go with the flow and say that he had the power of a goddess and completely conquer these people, but Leon felt that he had a better choice.

Because he can decide everything by himself.

"I don't care about your myths and gods, everyone. But I think I can give you an explanation. An explanation for why I can influence the Holy Grail."

Looking at the man half-kneeling in the snow, Leon sighed, threw the Holy Grail in his hand into the air, and let it float back to him.

"Perhaps it is only because of my oath and the mark of my arrival in this world that I am considered a god among gods. I can manipulate the miracles of all your gods, because to me, they are all understandable traces. Your gods are too insignificant to me."

"Just like the Stonehenge before you, you should understand that this miracle is the only wonder in the world. I can do this wonder in the wasteland of chaos, under the gaze of the dark gods, but I can do even greater things."

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I can. For example, you have been troubled by this snowfield for a long time, right? But I can change all that. Like this."

Looking at the confused eyes of many Norscans and Southerners, Leon stood under the Stonehenge, smiled and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the cold wind whistling across the chaotic snowfield stopped.

The falling snow gradually turned into a fine and soft drizzle, and the snow on the ground instantly lost its terrifying and deadly coldness, dissolving and seeping into the ground like an avalanche.

Under everyone's almost horrified gaze, under the roar of magic emitted by the Stonehenge, the snow-white color in everyone's sight quietly retreated, and the scenery that had been suppressed by the magical snowfield for countless years, the most primitive appearance of the world appeared in front of everyone.

The violent and terrifying storms from the Chaos Wasteland were blocked by the ritual of Stonehenge. The huge magical ice field turned into fertile soil and mountains.

There was even a hint of green.

Those plants that had been buried for who knows how many years actually sprouted new seedlings under the control of the magic wind, and they flourished in the fine and moist drizzle.

In this terrifying scene of silently changing the world, Leon looked at the people in front of him, smiled and opened his hands. The huge magical energy even rushed into the sky in an instant according to his will, dispelling the eternal coldness.

The sacred light shone on the young man, making his figure look extremely majestic.

"I don't care what your beliefs are, but you can only respect me and no other gods."

He said.

"Maybe your faith is in gods, but I am not. I am not a god. But I am far greater than them."

The huge magic ritual slowly came to a halt, and the huge flow of magic power even left an indelible mark on Leon's body.

The spiral shining with starlight was imprinted in Leon's pupils, and looking at those spiral eyes full of bright starlight, everyone lowered their heads in awe, knelt on their knees to this thin man, and instinctively expressed their loyalty.

"…Your will, my lord."

The sparse sounds accompanied by the drizzle made Leon smile with satisfaction.
