I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

A Lord who would abandon his followers at a critical moment. Devout followers are the most difficult threshold for all her followers to cross. She will not have any new true followers. Although the Goddess of Light may not want this either, she only wants fanatics~

The classification of believers is actually very simple

The first type is the pan-believer. This type of believer only has a superficial belief in a certain god, but does not act or live strictly according to the god's creed. In the face of different problems, they will even flexibly change their favorite gods to believe in.

This is the choice of most creatures on the mainland. They don't mind believing in several gods at the same time. They can believe in hundreds of them. They just believe in them when they remember.

The second type is devout believers, who are mostly found within the church. They strictly follow the creed set by the gods as the basis of their life and behavior. They will not disobey the gods in their hearts in the slightest. If they do something wrong, they will feel a strong sense of guilt.

The third group is the fanatics, who can do anything for their beliefs without any reason, do not accept the constraints of secular regulatory frameworks such as morality and law, and are willing to use the most despicable and brutal means to achieve their goals.

The biggest difference between a devout believer and a fanatic is that a devout believer will follow the principles of the gods while also taking into account the social norms of reality, while a fanatic will ignore everything except his faith, including himself.

The fourth is the true believer, who is fundamentally different from the first three.

Many churches do not even acknowledge the existence of true believers.

The first three types ultimately believe in something in order to get something, while true believers believe in nothing in order to get anything. This is very scary for many gods who want to do shady things.

Rather than saying that they believe in gods, it might be more appropriate to say that they believe in you because the theories you advocate are close to their thoughts or have changed their views on the world.

The first three will just believe what you say, but true believers will ask you why.

To him, the gods are spiritual mentors, perhaps fathers, mothers, teachers, and friends, but they are not a high and mighty god. Such belief is the purest, because in a sense, what he believes in is actually the way that he understands, and gods are only the leaders on this path.

Believers may betray their gods, but they cannot betray their understanding of the world.

To give the most common example, the first three types of believers follow the route you have opened up and dare not go beyond the limit. Whatever you say is what it is, even if it is wrong, it is right.

A true believer is a fellow traveler. He will think about whether your ideas are correct and reasonable, and will improve or question them. If wrong, it is wrong, and if right, it is right. He will not blindly follow you.

They are exploring more possibilities with you, expanding this path together, and making it easier for those who come after them.

Mi Wei is the most typical orthodox believer. She broke away from the shackles of Vatican dogma and fundamentally questioned the significance of the existence of the Church of Light.

Why is it that a force that should bring more welfare, more light, hope and warmth to the world, when it falls into the hands of the Orthodox Church of Light, instead results in rounds of killing without any bottom line?

So when she preached, she disproved the Goddess of Light. After all, the only thing that could explain the problem was the source. If the source was not clean, everything would be in vain. So she simply left the Vatican and started her own business with the help of Medea.

The Goddess of Light has never had a good way to deal with Medea. In addition to the witch's own turtle shell talent, it is also directly related to the composition of her believers.

The biggest difference between Medea and local gods is that although they all follow the same route of worshipping the gods of incense, the focus of their choices is different.

The number of her true believers is even greater than that of her fanatics. In terms of total amount, Medea does not have as deep a reserve as the Goddess of Light, but her quality completely surpasses that of the Goddess of Light.

What the local gods want is the final right of interpretation. They are the only ones who have power over everything. They do not need or accept a second opinion with a different voice. It would be best if they had the unconditional trust of fanatics and helped solve all their problems. They would do whatever they were told and would remain loyal until death.

Although Medea also obtained the final right of interpretation, she relied on the generally recognized basic concepts summarized by predecessors' explorations, and she was very clear that this was not something she could make up.

This itself is a half-road to heaven that was concluded by a large number of people who have explored and sacrificed one after another, and she just reproduced this half-road for successors to continue to walk on. She also needs more people to explore and practice, to supplement and make up for the shortcomings.

Different starting points lead to different results

Chapter 270 I don’t care, I just want big breasts!

The local gods hold the final right to interpret the elements and the world. The good thing is that for those who believe in them, they will know that they are the source of all power and they are powerful themselves.

But He cannot be disproven, no matter if it is through heresy trials or any other pretext; in short, no second voice will be allowed to appear.

It is like a tall building built out of thin air in a field. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Even if you know that the foundation is unstable, it is impossible to demolish it. You can only try your best to keep the building from collapsing.

Even if it is already shaky, it still speaks as solid as a rock. Once doubts arise, the information cocoon that was painstakingly constructed to conceal the truth will collapse, fundamentally shaking the legitimacy of His existence.

But Medea doesn't need to worry about this. Only liars need to use a thousand, ten thousand or countless lies to make up for the previous lie.

She doesn't need or fear being questioned, because she will eventually turn most of the doubts into benign ones.

When someone raises a question, you have to think of a solution instead of just arguing. She is only responsible for summarizing the solutions proposed by the public.

In other words, the more people work towards the same goal, the more stable her position will be and the more difficult it will be to overthrow. This is the result of concentrating the output of public thinking to feed back into herself. This has nothing to do with whether you believe in her or not. It is enough to believe in this path.

For others, the Tao came after they had gods, but for her, the Tao came first and then she had gods. Her position as a god was an accident.

Questioning her is not questioning her, but questioning a large group of pioneer explorers. These people are her true believers and the foundation for her safe existence.

The vast majority of people have complete faith in their own way of life and believe in it wholeheartedly, and the power of faith they can provide is purer and greater than that of other believers.

As long as this idea still exists in the world, she will not die. She is very resistant to beatings. At most, she can lie down for a few years and then jump around again. If they die once, it will be unknown when they will be resurrected again.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Goddess of Light became more and more annoyed with the fight, and later on she even didn't want to fight with her and just wanted to avoid her. She couldn't kill her by beating her, and even if she killed her at great cost, she wouldn't be able to hurt Medea seriously. So why fight her?

Even the other gods did not want to cause trouble for her head-on, and only took action through the army, the church and the nobles. As long as the alliance was still there, the ideology had not disintegrated, and there were still people who firmly believed in it, then she would be unable to stop her.

You can't deal with her without solving the Alliance. Solving the Alliance may trigger a special buff that makes you miss the past, which will make her even more difficult to solve.

This is the root of their scorched earth strategy for the subcontinent. If they don't completely exterminate the people of the subcontinent, then this war will be a waste of effort. Even now, exterminating the subcontinent is not enough. Surya, Ernesto, and even Demetria all have such thoughts.

It's like a towering tree. The tree is still there, but its roots have long extended to who knows where.

Therefore, Media tried her best to compress the alliance's capacity and resources to the limit, and the allied countries had to send troops on expeditions even if they were tens of thousands of miles away.

Because the feudal system cannot achieve absolute control over those under its rule, it is naturally unable to resist the invasion of ideas. At the current rate, it will not be long before ideas spread throughout the entire continent. They must slap this torrent in the face before it starts.

Both sides are very clear

Either they can take the picture and get rid of it once and for all, and continue to be their own noble lords and continue to enjoy themselves, or they will all die if they can't take the picture.

Medea naturally would not accept the outcome of being beaten to death, and she would hold on no matter what, as she had the greatest chance of winning.

Even after their allies sent a large number of elite troops and main forces of the regular army, she had already sentenced these countries to death in her heart.

She may not win this war, but she will definitely not lose. The biggest loser has been determined from the beginning.

The Allies thought the Union was their greatest rival, but it was not.

It is those capitalists who are now under the control of this group of nobles after the alliance's industrialization has been promoted to the entire continent. They are bowing and scraping, as humble as dogs.

Her opponent has never been the feudal monarchy. If it weren't for the existence of magic, she would have conquered the world eight hundred years ago. Her biggest opponent has always been capital with strong alienation abilities.

But capital itself is harmless, and even has many wonderful uses if controlled well.

As long as she holds back the main forces of the armies of these kingdoms and empires, it won't be long before the domestic capital of these countries will take advantage of this excellent opportunity to launch a revolution. By then, none of these countries with weak domestic military forces will be able to escape.

Which capitalist would give up such a good opportunity? Overthrowing some nobles would get rid of high taxes, and they could grow and develop without restraint, and no longer have to worry about the nobles' faces.

magic?

As long as the profit is enough, even the magic goddess cannot suppress human nature!

Do you think they would dare to sell the goddess’ original panties if we gave them 800% profit?

I guess they will sell the whole set as long as there is a 300% profit. No matter whether it is true or not, they dare to sell it under the threat of divine punishment, for fear that you dare not buy it.

Zhu Baba has proved a truth, he will kill people until his hands tremble and he can't stop killing. They only want money, not lives.

Capitalists are afraid of death. What they are afraid of is that people die without spending all their money or earning enough, not death itself, because capitalists who fear death will be replaced by other capitalists who are not afraid of death.

No one can hold capital. As long as it cannot continue to proliferate and increase in value more efficiently, the capitalist owner will be replaced by a new capitalist owner.

If there is anything that can make them surrender without resistance and dance according to the other party's rules, it is the larger capital entity.

The state-owned capitalism adopted by Media is to maintain an overwhelming advantage through the large total amount of capital, and to indirectly control the development direction of the total amount of capital in the alliance by using capital to clamp down on capital.

Capital can alienate anyone except her.

This has nothing to do with ideals, or perhaps ideals alone are not a sound reason, because capital does not do her much good.

In other words, capital cannot satisfy her with the benefits she wants, and this fundamental conflict has cut off the possibility of capital continuing to rise through her.

After all, if she wants her life to continue forever without a cycle, and if she wants the people she cares about to accompany her for a longer time, she must put the interests of the large base of people first, and use the large base as water to carry her to cultivate more talents and strengthen her abilities, so that she can do what she wants.

And these are precisely the priceless things that cannot be satisfied even if capital expands infinitely.

Under the threat of her life, she did not lose her mind or become alienated. Even from a human perspective, this deal was a loss for her.

The first and most basic element of capital alienation must be profitable, otherwise how can we induce the desires in human nature?

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat~"

Anna knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, she walked in with the twins pushing a dining cart.

The smiling face on his mature and bright face showed none of the villainous temperament that the empire butcher was rumored to have.

But the person who spread the rumor was thoughtful, as he was both the empire and the butcher.

Mitia stepped forward and hugged Anna, then put her hand on her back to feel it: "It seems to be useful, the effect is quite good."

This is the unique way of extending life in the magical world

It’s not really a method. To put it simply, when people of different levels of life get along with each other for a long time, those at the lower level will be attracted to those at the higher level and will passively optimize themselves.

If one wants to actively strengthen and accelerate this special effect, the person being strengthened needs to have complete trust in the object being strengthened in order to have a chance of achieving it.

After all, they are two independent living beings. The body itself will generally resist and reject things outside of itself, no matter whether they are good or bad. So it is a probability but not a certainty.

But Anna was a fanatic and had no such concerns.

If there is any disagreement between the two, it is that Anna wants to optimize her body to be able to serve as a bodyguard, while Mitiaju simply wants to make her breasts bigger.

Chapter 271: Older Women Are Better

"That's right...it's better for women to be older~"

Anna's cheeks turned red when she heard Medea teasing her.

Although Anna felt that for a melee magic warrior who had received special training and was fully specialized, having a big heart was not a good thing, because the center of gravity would often shift and was not conducive to close combat.

But since it was Medea who said it, I had no choice but to agree.

The two maids following behind him were filled with excitement at seeing their idol, but also with confusion as they were disillusioned by his astonishing speech. They could not help but stand there in a daze for a moment.

Medea glanced at the two of them, thinking that they were hurt by her comment that big means good, and quickly smiled and comforted them, "I'm not talking about you. Small ones are actually very cute too."

The maids couldn't help but look down at themselves.

"..."

After a few casual greetings, the two sat at the dining table and enjoyed lunch. Anna reported some front-line battle reports to Medea in a concise manner to determine which part Medea was more interested in before the afternoon work began, and then screened out that part to make detailed documents.

Hearing about the heavy casualties caused by the bombing on the people of the Vatican, Medea calmly swallowed the vegetables in his mouth:

"I was wondering why I was suddenly treated like a rabbit today. I don't have to do this in the future. This is just an appetizer~"

Medea's reaction was very flat, or even indifferent.
