Chapter 438 Astral Shock Exploration
Astral Plane.
The fluctuations belonging to the Swamp God have been extinguished, and the rules it controlled have lost their master, beginning to dissipate in a disorderly manner.
The fall of a deity has caused a great upheaval in the long-peaceful divine court.
The followers of the Swamp God were horrified to discover that the anchor of their faith was breaking bit by bit, and panic spread like a plague.
In some remote corners, in front of simple altars dedicated to minor gods related to swamps and wetlands, stone or wooden statues of gods crack and collapse without warning, turning into ordinary rubble and rotten wood.
Many people clutched their heads and screamed in agony, blood flowing from their seven orifices. The divine power within them dissipated instantly, and some went mad on the spot due to the collapse of their faith.
The even greater tremors were transmitted to the deeper and more magnificent parts of the astral plane.
Within a majestic divine realm, the Earth Mother Goddess awakens from her slumber, wearing a crown woven from grains and flowers, her eyes deep and profound.
The gentle and vast divine power swept across the divine realm, instantly sensing that a tiny "tributary" had completely dried up.
"Zeltas has fallen." The Mother Goddess's voice was low and somber, like the sigh of the earth's crust.
Zeltas is the god of swamps. In the vast pantheon of the Mother Goddess, secondary divine roles such as swamp and corruption are merely insignificant peripheral branches.
A weak deity like Zeltas has long resided in a remote, undeveloped corner of the pantheon.
But no matter how marginal or weak it may be, it is still a member of the Earth pantheon. Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner.
To slay a god and destroy his divine kingdom is not only a stripping of Zeltas's divine authority, but also a direct offense to the authority of the Earth Mother Goddess.
If left unchecked, what will the other subordinate gods within the pantheon think? How will the chief gods of other pantheons view this?
"Unfamiliar gods, chaotic and tyrannical, yet possessing a certain order, unlike any pantheon I know."
The Mother Goddess's will penetrated the barriers of the divine realm, capturing the faint aftershocks of the divine war.
There was some confusion in His eyes. His enormous divine body resembled the hive of the Void Zerg, yet it also exhibited obvious fluctuations of divine power.
The Zerg cannot wield the power of faith because the rules differ in each world colony.
Just as the Void Zerg possess super-powered crystals, the Starsea Divine Court's rules of faith are extremely developed, while the Abyss's rules are distorted and chaotic.
These vastly different rules have shaped distinct forms of civilization.
He had just tried to investigate the specific details further, but was obscured by an unfamiliar force.
"A newly born 'wild god,' yet he acts so violently?" A hint of displeasure appeared in the mother goddess's eyes.
Wars between gods are not uncommon, but to be so swift and decisive, erasing both the divine kingdom and the true form, is something that ordinary, weak or even medium-level gods could not accomplish.
The other party either possesses a powerful artifact, or their true nature may not be simply one of faith in a god.
"Summon the Council of All Gods." The decree transformed into a thick, earth-yellow divine light, piercing through the endless void.
In the name of the chief god, He extended a formal invitation to the other chief gods.
At almost the same time, several sovereign beings also received reports from their subordinates from the gods.
In the Kingdom of Light, the God of Light indifferently swept his gaze across the star map.
The fall of a minor deity necessitates a pantheon? Things may not be so simple.
Within the realm of the god of war, the resounding clang of forging never ceases.
Upon sensing the fall of a deity, the chief god who controlled war and slaughter smirked with interest.
In the void, the river of destiny flows silently across the entire astral plane, reflecting countless possibilities of the past and future.
The goddess of fate sat quietly by the riverbank, her fingertips lightly stroking the water's surface, where a hideous dark gold outline faintly flashed.
But many more details are unclear, as if shrouded in a thick fog.
"The fickle nature of fate..." He sighed softly.
Within the Temple of Wisdom, the light of knowledge and mystery shines eternally.
In the crystal ball floating before the God of Wisdom, all the records of the God of Swamp, the distribution of his faith, the record of his last divine power activity, and the abruptly interrupted faith curve flashed by.
Data was flowing rapidly in an attempt to build a model of the attacker, but key parameters were severely lacking.
The five main gods turned their attention to this unusual event on the edge of their pantheon.
Deep within the void, the Pantheon.
This is not a physical entity, but a special area woven together by the rules of the five main gods.
It remains eternally silent, only being activated by the will of the Supreme God when it involves major events affecting the entire Star Sea Divine Court.
As the Earth Mother Goddess infused the area with her divine power, the previously empty space began to solidify.
A magnificent and boundless palace slowly emerged. The palace had no roof, but above it was a dazzling galaxy, and the floor was as smooth as a mirror.
One after another, divine projections, some solid and some illusory, appeared in the Pantheon in response to the summons.
The first to descend were the projections of the wills of the five main gods.
The projection of the God of Light was an intense, blinding light; the Earth Mother was a dignified and full-figured female figure; and the God of War was a towering, black-armored giant, carrying a giant sword and exuding a menacing aura.
The goddess of fate is depicted as a hazy figure, while the god of wisdom is portrayed as an old man shrouded in arcane light.
Following them were the important subordinate gods and representatives of intermediate divine power from various pantheons who had been summoned.
God of forests and wandering knights, goddess of the sea, goddess of fire and forging, goddess of love and beauty, goddess of intrigue and theft...
They took their places in the temple according to their proximity in the pantheon and their divine office.
Of course, what came was only a wisp of will; their true forms still guarded their respective divine kingdoms.
Countless thoughts intertwined silently within the hall, forming a complex flow of information.
"The fall of a minor deity has alarmed the great Mother Goddess?"
The god of fire and forging was somewhat puzzled.
"Zeltas's priesthood was confined to the swamp cycle, his faith was in a remote territory, and he had few enemies. His complete fall is extraordinary."
The god of forests and wandering knights had a cold and aloof mind, and a solemn expression.
"According to my report from the god 'Lord of the Deep Pool,' the enemy's divine kingdom is extremely fierce."
The thoughts of the ocean goddess, like the currents of the deep sea, provide clues.
When all the gods had gathered, the Earth Mother Goddess slowly spoke:
"This is no ordinary battle between gods. The attackers' divine bodies are peculiar in form, their power is mixed in nature, they have the characteristics of devouring and plundering, and they can interfere with my tracing of origins. Their power far exceeds that of weak gods."
Upon hearing this, the mental fluctuations within the hall noticeably intensified.
The enormous size of the divine body implies either a massive accumulation of divine power or a unique life form.
The ability to interfere with the tracing of the main god's origins is even more troublesome. This is usually an ability possessed only by certain gods who are proficient in secret and shadowy divine duties, or beings who possess special artifacts.
"Could this be the work of an alien civilization?" The God of Light asked directly, voicing the core suspicion.
The Star Sea Divine Court borders multiple civilization territories, and friction is brewing—a fact known to all its high-ranking officials.
Before the projection of the god of wisdom, the crystal ball shimmered with light.
"Based on preliminary analysis of the remaining information, the degree of consistency with the known abyssal aura is less than 7%. The degree of consistency with the characteristics of the rule power of the wizard civilization is less than 15%, but the 'orderliness' of its power core is far lower than that of our divine magic system."
"The resemblance to the Void Mother's shape exceeds 80%!"
"This is impossible! How could those insectoids, who can't even control their own desires, possibly wield the power of faith?"
"That's impossible. There haven't been any abnormalities in the dimensional barrier recently."
The Void Zerg have difficulty controlling their instinct to expand, and the behavior of this Wild God is completely different from the Zerg's style of leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.
Therefore, this is very likely an extremely lucky, otherworldly deity.
An unknown deity with a massive divine body, ferocious power, and the ability to interfere with tracking, suspected of possessing the divine authority or characteristic of "devouring".
This is not uncommon in the long history of the Divine Court.
"Perhaps it was some 'primordial god' or 'totem god' that grew up in the wilderness and evaded the monitoring of the divine court."
The God of War said with a hint of interest, "Such fellows often don't know the rules of the Divine Court and act recklessly."
"Regardless of their origins, assassinating a righteous god of the divine court and destroying the divine kingdom is a grave crime."
The Earth Mother's voice turned cold, "Its existence has posed a threat to the stability of the Divine Court. Its origins and strength must be investigated."
"Agreed," came the message from the God of Light.
"We can send the 'World Patrol Envoy' to the Swamp of Decay to investigate its true strength."
An investigation and assessment of the "unknown new gods" quickly set the tone within the Pantheon.
Although the gods did not personally intervene, an invisible net had already been cast over the swamp world.
The gods, while wary of this attacker who dared to blatantly break the rules and used bizarre methods, also harbored their own differing thoughts.
Observe, be wary, win over, or identify potential prey.
Ian, far away in the Gray Fog World, was naturally unaware of the Pantheon's commotion and decisions.
Kerrigan, through the disguise of an artificial deity and Ian's carefully arranged array of subconscious runes, temporarily veiled herself as a "wild deity."
This prevented the gods from seeing through the fog and discerning Kerrigan's true nature.
However, the shockwaves from the fall of the gods have already reached the lower levels of the Star Sea Divine Court, and have reached countless believers and clergy.
Light Continent, Erion Province, Holy Light Cathedral.
Anson is currently learning a new fourth-level divine spell, [Divine Barrier], from a high-ranking priest.
The church was solemn and dignified, with hundreds of monks, priests, and paladins praying or training in their respective areas.
The fall of the deity was quickly reflected in the church. The archbishop, with a solemn expression, swiftly summoned several bishops and the paladin commander to the secret chamber.
Although the fallen deity was not a god of the Light pantheon, the sudden fall of a true god was a major event within the divine court.
In the following days, the atmosphere was noticeably different, with messages from higher levels constantly being transmitted through divine magic arrays.
Churches across the country began to take action, issuing frequent instructions to be on the lookout for any unusual missionary activities or strange fluctuations of supernatural power.
Anson pieced together the information from fragmented pieces through his interactions with believers from different social strata.
The deities behind all sects have probably already issued divine pronouncements.
The previous fall of Morlock, coupled with the strange phenomenon of the God Kingdom falling, has put all the high-ranking officials of the Divine Court on high alert.
In taverns and adventurers' guilds, rumors, both true and false, began to circulate about the "fall of the Wild God" and the "descendance of calamity."
Some astute nobles and merchants quietly adjusted trade routes in certain remote areas.
"The move was a bit too aggressive," Anson assessed in his mind.
Kerrigan's first battle against the gods indeed triggered a chain reaction.
However, it seems that the Divine Court's attention is still focused on the "New Gods" and the "God Wars" themselves, and has not directly connected them to the Wizard Civilization or the Zerg.
A glint of light flashed deep in Anson's eyes. "It would be best to trace the clues back to the Zerg."
The gods' attention has been drawn; this may be his opportunity to use his status as a divine benefactor to obtain even more information in the core region of the Bright Continent.
Meanwhile, the original body and Kerrigan need to keep a low profile, digest the divine essence, consolidate their gains, and temporarily halt attacks on other divine realms.
We can try making contact first. If the attitude of the approaching deity is acceptable, then Kerrigan can express her willingness to be "recruited".
She wasn't afraid to go to the Pantheon, since it was just a projection of her will.
Unless the main god personally intervenes, there is no need to worry about her safety.
The biggest difference between Kerrigan and the gods of this world is that she doesn't need a divine kingdom, or rather, the Zerglings are her divine kingdom.
She can unleash her full power at any time, while other gods need the blessing of their divine kingdoms.
