There is only one, one god, one——

God King!

The young man in white robes turned a blind eye to everything around him. He focused his attention on

Chapter 474

After looking at the statue curiously for a while, he shook his head and turned around. Without any movement, the statue made of gold and jade and adorned with hundreds of precious stones trembled and twisted in an awe-inspiring way, and turned into a statue very similar to the young man in white robe.

The most incongruous androgynous feature was eliminated.

The believers who witnessed this scene were all 100% convinced that the true identity of the young man in front of them was their most holy and supreme ruler.

For a moment, all kinds of cheers and salutes were heard.

Al lowered his head and squatted down, looking at the leader of the generals, "his" most capable general, with the same curious eyes as he looked at the statue.

"I thought you'd be smarter, Xiaode."

Al sighed, but to Themistocles, who was kneeling on the ground, these words sounded like a death knell for himself. He wanted to defend himself, but then he thought, what could he do at this time?

The more he argued, the more guilty he seemed.

"What makes you so ambitious?" Al asked, but he didn't wait for the terrified and guilty general to answer. He shook his head and said to himself:

"Is it anger at being fooled, or is it your true ambition? After all, according to the original history, you should have been expelled. Now it seems that the Athenians were not rejecting their meritorious officials. This is not groundless."

"Or maybe..." Al clapped his hands and summoned the scepter from the general who lowered his head, said nothing, and dared not breathe. The extra decorations floated and disintegrated in the air, leaving only the original AR15 rifle. Al held it, played with it for a while, and then fired a few shots into the sky.

"Did you give him the courage?"

How dare you come back, you shameless robber, you despicable thief!

123: Gods

Above the sky, layer upon layer of dark clouds had been covering it without anyone noticing, with thunderstorms and flashes of fire appearing from time to time.

All this was clearly visible to Al, but from the perspective of mortals on the ground, it was still a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds above their heads.

Compared to Ai'er's original Earth world, the "Spartan" world, in addition to being earlier in timeline, has another very special feature:

This is a world where supernatural forces exist.

But it is not just that most of what the time traveler Al saw was not much different from magic or illusion. Only a very few of them had magical qualities, but they were "supernatural" and difficult to replicate in other people. Therefore, Al judged this world as "low magic".

But this is also where the world's weirdness lies.

There is very little at the bottom level, nothing in the middle level, but the "superstructure" is unexpectedly "rich".

There really are "gods" in this world.

And it is consistent with those in myths and legends.

For example, in Greece, Mount Olympus does exist—it is not a real mountain on earth, but above the mountain, between the clouds, there is a floating country that is invisible to mortals, where live the native gods of the Spartan world, the "Greek gods."

Zeus is a middle-aged man with white hair and beard, Hera is a plump and elegant woman, and Athena is a heroic woman wearing a battle skirt...

They are indeed the "gods" that ordinary people pass down from mouth to mouth and worship.

Although in Al's opinion, their strength is far from worthy of the title that he has not even claimed, the power they possess is... no exaggeration to say that it is god-like for mortals. At least it is much more powerful than his other part of the telekinesis and physical enhancement.

It is estimated that if the time traveler Al does not rely on external things and only relies on his own strength, the black-haired, handsome and bad-tempered "God of War" Ares will come down and defeat him.

But Ai'er stirred up trouble in the mortal world, pretending to be a god and using his extraordinary powers to stir up trouble—he even claimed to be the fourth generation of God King, the same body of Athena. He basically turned the Eastern Mediterranean upside down, yet he never felt the slightest pressure from this world's top extraordinary people. Naturally, it was because...

He is not alone.

In a sense, [Traveler Ai'er] is the vanguard of the horde, but he is only a part of the horde's dominant will.

All the worlds he traveled through were explored thoroughly by the white-robed El in the El world. When El had enough fun and completed his "space mission" and returned, this world would naturally not be able to get rid of the shadow of foreign invasion.

Because this Al left, but another Al came.

From the moment it captured this world, there was no way "Sparta" could escape.

When his other self just crossed over and started to stir up trouble, his arrival was actually already known to the Olympian gods. After all, he slaughtered the priests of the sun god in front of Apollo's statue. The gods of this world are a bit like the gods in mythological movies, with divine power and characteristics, but in many ways they are similar to mortals.

They do have some special abilities that Al has not yet fully analyzed, such as the dark clouds and thunder in the sky, but their actual power is far inferior to his.

One of these special abilities is being able to perceive situations through sacrifices and statues.

Apollo sensed the sudden appearance of outsiders who slaughtered his own sacrifices. His will sensed the situation in the mortal world and informed the king of gods Zeus, the head of the Olympian family. But just when they decided to send the god of war to investigate the situation of this unknown invader,

Chapter 475

, White Robe Al was gone.

He cut the bloody and brutal Ares into pieces, and placed the body parts in the wine vessels and utensils used for the gods' banquet. When the gods found the pieces and noticed that Ares was "missing", fear filled the hearts of these so-called "gods" but were still just mortals in Al's eyes.

This was done out of El's bad taste. Of course, Ares was a bloodthirsty war maniac. He kept many wild beasts and gladiators in the palace of Sky Olympus for his entertainment. Whenever he felt bored or in the mood for killing, the warriors who fought with him would inevitably be torn to pieces. El used his favorite behavior as the ending of this "God of War" to warn the gods.

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (15)

When the gods were in panic, a wisp of El's spirit came down and warned the gods not to interfere with the travelers from the mortal world, otherwise they would bear the consequences. They were too indulged in pleasure to dare to go down to the mortal world. Ares's tragic death frightened them. As the head of the family, the "King of Gods", Zeus used his authority to appease the gods not to act rashly, and privately went to see the three goddesses of fate who had the ability to predict the future.

However, the prophetic power of the three goddesses seemed so shallow to El. They were actually a special kind of existence that was "born with knowledge" and could know what would happen under the "established trajectory" of this world. Whether they said it or not, things would develop in that direction, and it would not have any effect on people outside his world.

When the three goddesses tried their best but to no avail, Ailu appeared again and kidnapped three prophets who were crucial to the Olympian gods. This made the gods deaf and blind, and their understanding and control of the world was greatly reduced.

After El interrogated them and combined his own inferences, he learned that the extraordinary power in this world was accidental, perhaps a coincidence caused by the rules, making the world before the Common Era a pseudo "Age of Gods". The gods existed but were rarely active because various prophecies and signs indicated that their excessive interference in the mortal world would threaten their own existence.

The three goddesses have a most important prophecy that has not been revealed to the outside world, which is that within the next five hundred years, the "Age of Gods" will end, and the gods will either fall or become mortals, and will no longer have extraordinary powers. This is also caused by the rules of the world.

It was around the beginning of the Christian era that the rise of monotheism began.

The fate of "God" is already determined. They are a group of prisoners who have a mountain of treasure but can only wait for death in silence.

They are unable to even open their mouths to correct the believers' misunderstandings about them.

Even if Ai'er didn't come, they would only have less than four hundred or five hundred years of good days left, which is long enough for the average mortal today, who is probably only thirty or forty years old.

However, Al's arrival will obviously speed up this process.

The rules of this world are quite special, and he is determined to win.

Coincidentally, he is also the only supreme being to whom glory belongs, which coincidentally fits the "big trend" of the world's future.

"One God" will defeat "many gods".

After the time traveler left, the gods were uneasy because they didn't know where that "El" had gone, but they were also secretly happy because at least he didn't come to Olympus, and some signs showed that he and the terrifying existence behind him had indeed left.

This made the Olympian gods, who were called gods but were actually just a group of mortals with extraordinary powers, put aside their fear temporarily. With a soothing heart, they held a banquet to calm their nerves. Of course, they also did not forget to observe the movements of the mortal world.

They don't have the ability to monitor the universe, but they can focus on certain regions, people and things. For example, Themistocles, the general under the invader whose name they dare not mention, is one of the candidates who was secretly influenced and supported by the Greek gods to subvert the traces of the invaders.

When El arrived, he made no secret of his presence and tried his best to maximize the commotion caused by his entry into this world. He wanted to see how many beings hiding in the dark like the Greek gods would react to him. This would allow him to better assess their strength and catch them all in one fell swoop.

124: The Weakness of the White Tower

With obvious satisfaction on his face, Caesar handed his token to Camilla.

His sister's expression was as cold as ever, even colder than before.

She handed Caesar the huge ceremonial weapon that symbolized the glory of her father's guards, a half-sword, half-scepter guard's ceremonial weapon. Then, without saying a word, she turned and walked into the hall. Caesar stood outside the bronze door, humming a tune, his joy evident in his expression.

When he could no longer see Camilla's back, he turned around impatiently, inserted the ceremonial giant sword into the groove on the ground, placed his hands on the two ends of the hilt, held his head high and chest puffed out, looking at the towering palace complex below with majesty. The long road composed of tens of thousands of steps was like a long stairway to the heavenly kingdom.

This was originally the ancestral land of the King of Ashes, where he left a backup plan when he fled outside the domain in defeat, the forgotten land, the tomb city in the sand, Amen-La.

However, now, it has become the core hub of Four-Armed Rome, and Ai'er built a magnificent megastructure here - the Heart Fortress.

A psychic fortress that looks like a huge pyramid from a distance.

When Aisha, Caesar and other descendants led the Roman army, which was almost united in will under the psychic radiation and was as strong as one, from Ctesiphon all the way, chasing the enemy north, and returning to Canaan, they broke into pieces this massive guardian expedition that could never be resisted by a small corner of the mortal world.

Chapter 476

He decided to figure out when to personally take action so that he could take advantage of the situation.

What he didn't expect was that someone showed up at this time and drew fire from him.

The Witch-King, or the Remnant of the Old Ones.

The Nine-Ring White Tower was terrified by the fact that the "enemy" had quietly grasped the situation of the Alan Empire. They regarded Ai'er as the imaginary enemy of the White Tower order, and believed that there must be major problems within their ranks, otherwise such a situation would not have occurred. So they began an internal investigation and decided to stabilize the country before fighting the enemy. They abandoned the offensive plan after the disappearance of Chief Mage Celine and instead focused their targets on the internal affairs.

Without resolving the "dagger in the back" and "internal conspiracy forces", the mages are unwilling to take the risk of a fire in the backyard and being betrayed by traitors when attacking an unknown powerful enemy.

However, this investigation did reveal the problem. After all, the threat faced by the White Tower Order this time seemed to be the most powerful and comprehensive since the War of the Old Ones. For their own survival, they would also be extremely cautious and work hard.

You won’t know until you check. Once you check, you will be shocked. Just in the Nine-Ring White Tower, it was found that more than 30 people had more or less touched upon some areas of "betrayal" of the White Tower.

As the strongest individuals who have ever existed in the world of Il and the ancient rulers at the top of the pyramid, the influence left by the Witch King is still regarded as "gods" in some customs and traditions and has become a part of cultural heritage. It has considerable appeal to both the middle and upper classes who blindly pursue power and knowledge, and the middle and lower classes who feel that they cannot reach the seventh ring in their lifetime and are trapped by the limitation of lifespan.

But the results of the initial investigation do not mean that all these people are colluding with old traitors. They are involved in the "area of ​​betrayal of the White Tower", but not all of them are colluding with the exiles. Some of them are also engaged in forbidden research, secretly funded by the mortal kingdom, and are suspected of destroying the most critical aspect of the order of the White Tower, which is the law that cannot be revealed to outsiders.

Even so, the situation remains critical.

A casual search would reveal over thirty people, ranging from high-ranking officials to middle-ranking officials. So what about those who haven't been found? Are they hiding more secretly and causing greater harm?

This is a dark abyss with no bottom, and also a trap that one has dug for oneself.

Because no matter how they screen or purge, they cannot make all the "non-traitors" fully believe one thing, that is, their internal situation is safe and all the traitors have been found.

Find the traitors—there are more traitors hiding—intensify the efforts;

The traitor cannot be found—the traitor is hiding too deeply—so we should increase our efforts;

Most mages, or the vast majority of mages, especially those at higher levels, can be said to have spent far more time dealing with books and words that can only make mistakes and cannot lie than they have spent dealing with human hearts.

In the world of mages, on the one hand, it depends on inheritance, and on the other hand, it depends on "learning ability", which is a combination of knowledge, strength, and all aspects.

People who are promoted to high positions do not necessarily have a good understanding of people's hearts and minds or administrative management capabilities. It may also be because they simply have high authority and voice in this field, but may not be as good as an ordinary bureaucrat in actual management and handling of affairs.

As a supernatural class, mages cannot actually be regarded as a complete country. They have various groups, societies, and associations. Even the Nine-Ring White Tower may not have enough power to mobilize them all, just like a secular kingdom recruiting its nobles and peasants to fight.

In essence, it is an extraordinary and distorted "elite or expert class". However, generally speaking, the "elite" as the backbone of society squeezes out the authority of the rulers because of their excessive strength. But they have no real governance capabilities and responsibilities, so they throw the power of "governing" to mortals, and enjoy the world's support as a high-ranking extraordinary class.

In a situation where one company dominates the market and the gap between the powers of the supernatural and mortals is huge, the mages have no motivation to put themselves under the shackles of the system to restrict themselves. Therefore, although there are a few pragmatists in the Nine-Ring White Tower who want to "standardize the system", in the eyes of normal free mages, there is no doubt that this is the ambition of the "academic cliques" and "magical bureaucrats" who have been infected with the bad habits of mortals to expand their power.

Naturally, the construction of the system will never be put on the agenda. For those who have the authority to push and lay the foundation for certain things, their long experience and almost endless life make them pay little attention to these "trivial matters". They may occasionally become interested and do something, but may turn their attention in other directions and throw these unfinished semi-finished products aside. As time goes by, things are just like that.

These are undoubtedly the shortcomings of the White Tower system, but in fact, for the various situations they will encounter under normal circumstances, these are not "weaknesses", because no matter how loose and unsystematic the mages are, they are still a dominant force that has dominated the world of Il for thousands of years. They are not lacking in foundation, cohesion, strategy, and execution. At least they are absolutely enough to face their main imaginary enemies, the remnants of the old times.

Once the call to arms is issued, no matter how homebound or lonely a wizard is, as long as he is still a member of the White Tower system, he must obey the authority of the White Tower order and join this war to protect this order and his own interests.

The floating city is heading over and the army is approaching. What's so difficult about that?

However, this time they faced two different enemies at the same time. Due to the researchers' usual bold assumptions and careful verification,

Chapter 477

and imagination, which put Bai Ta in a dilemma of fighting two people with one fist, turning their shortcomings into weaknesses.

125: Respecting Father's Guard

But the problem facing the White Tower is not just this.

This was a change that Al had not anticipated. He had already prepared for an all-out war, but he did not expect that the enemy's hands and feet would be tied up by him first, and... the real "imaginary enemies" of the White Tower ended up as a belated third party.

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (16)

However, this was also in his interest. The more muddy the water, the more conducive it was to the expansion of the Four-Armed tribe. With each passing day, the number of his descendants and slaves increased. Ai'er was happy to see this, so he ordered his descendants to temporarily suspend their overt external expansion and stop the front line east of the Antolia Mountains, giving the White Tower more energy to compete with their old rivals.

The existence of the psychic link makes the entire "Rome" country a black hole that can absorb all temptations and infiltrations to outsiders. All the information they can obtain is what the Four-Armed Man wants to "tell" them.

.......

Camilla retreated from the palace. After returning to Caesar's perception range, she obviously quickened her pace and looked somewhat indignant.

Caesar turned around and smiled at Camilla, which only irritated her even more. The 36th heir angrily walked away from the 3rd heir, not even wanting to greet or communicate politely.

Caesar, on the other hand, was quite pleased with himself. His sensibility and outward expression of emotions were more pronounced among his descendants, and Al liked this about him as well.

"I wish you all the best, sister." Caesar said sincerely on the steps behind Camilla. He had only sincere "blessings" in his heart for Camilla who was about to succeed him. There was no trace of the gap from the commander-in-chief to the gatekeeper. Instead, he felt incomparable and heartfelt joy.

He was even secretly delighted with Camilla, who replaced his "military power".

So Caesar's blessing is absolutely sincere.

But to Camilla, such a "blessing" was so ironic.
