Chapter 381 "The God of Steam" (Asking for a monthly pass)
The light became brighter and darker, and the figures in the "altar" became clearer and clearer, but the ripples like water waves still covered the face and covered the upper body.
At this time, the figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the white and sacred transparent light shield on the altar to continue to illuminate the hall.
The prostrate Elder, Harold, Quenkins and other dwarves failed to see the change, but Tess, Galata, Wells, and Edith witnessed the whole process.
"Haha, haha, their gods have disappeared and abandoned them!" Wells was full of joy and ecstasy of "the rest of his life".
When the altar was lit up just now, he almost fainted from being frightened, but there would really be a god "coming"?
Illiterate, and having heard about Count Vlad's injuries by the Church of Truth and the legend of the ancestor of the blood race, "Etna" of the Silver Moon, Wells believes in the existence of gods in his heart, so he is so frightened that he is not possessed. Although he was a noble blood servant, and there were even more noble and powerful blood clan masters around him, he was definitely as weak as an ant in the face of the gods, allowing him to crush him.
Moreover, he is a traitor to the dwarf clan, and this "God of Steam" and "Lord of Life and Death" seems to be the guardian deity of the dwarves.
Edith also laughed madly and said, "Look, the gods no longer protect you, we vampires are the noble race that is favored!"
When the altar worked, the pressure and fear in her heart were no less than that of Wells.
The Great Elder, Harold, Mirna, and other dwarves heard the cathartic voices of the two blood servants, raised their heads in panic, and saw the empty altar.
"Where is the Lord?"
"Has the god of steam abandoned us?"
"Have we done something that God has rejected?"
Fear, despair, and bewilderment spread among the surviving dwarves, and they finally received the favor and arrival of the gods.
"High invisibility, he is a magician!" The well-informed vampire butler Galata woke up, "That's a teleportation array through the space barrier, and there is a space node here!"
"Galata, kill him, I will go back to the castle to inform the count!" Tess's face changed continuously, and black bat wings grew out of her back, and she turned around and ran away without hesitation.
In order to prevent foreign enemies from invading or infiltrating, all nodes must be in their own hands, otherwise maybe one day the Truth Cult and the Magic Council will send a few strong people to sneak in and take down the entire Xeno space, and in some xeno spaces, several forces have repeatedly fought and fought for space nodes.
At this time, in the face of the newly appeared nodes, Tess and Galata, the two orthodox vampires naturally attach great importance to it, and they must control this place as soon as possible!
At the same time, because she didn't know what level of magicians entered through the space node, Tess, who was cautious, did not dare to take any risks, so she decided to let Galata hold on temporarily and go back to the castle to ask the Count to take action.
Although he has been tortured by divine magic for a long time and often falls into a deep sleep, Count Vlad is also a high-level vampire and the most powerful vampire in the vicinity.
Normally, the strength of vampires is closely related to the titles they are granted by the Elders of the Vampire Society, such as barons representing official knights or dark mages level, viscounts meaning intermediate, earls and marquises equivalent to high ranks, dukes are equivalent to archmages and golden knights, and princes belong to the legendary realm.
However, many vampires live in isolation or mixed in human society, and even if their strength increases, they are too lazy to report to the Vampire Elders' Association, so it is easy to make mistakes in judging the strength of vampires simply by their titles.
Galata hesitated for a moment, but still rushed to the altar without hesitation, as a low-ranking descendant transformed by Count Vlad, he was completely loyal to the count and was unwilling to resist the orders of Lady Tess, who represented the count's will.
Through the aura that appeared briefly just now, he relied on his keen life sensing ability to determine that the magician was still on the altar and had not left yet!
As soon as Lucian teleported, he saw a group of dwarves crying bitterly, like madmen, crawling on the ground, chanting nagging words to himself, and he was shocked, thinking that there was a mistake in the teleportation array he had arranged, and he was caught in the turbulence of space, and he "crossed" again!
Therefore, Lucian reflexively used the four-ring magic "Advanced Invisibility", wanting to hide and observe the situation before deciding on the next move.
"Can you still use magic?" It seems that there is no "crossing again".
As a "language expert", he could easily tell that the language used by the dwarves belonged to the ancient language family, which was in line with the modern dwarven language, and could barely understand it.
"Lord? The god of steam? What the hell are they doing?"
Countless questions flooded Lucian's mind, and before he could clear his mind, he heard Galata's words, "Space nodes?"
"Vampire! It is indeed a dark night plateau!" The dwarf vampire with two black bat wings made Lucian affirm where he was, and then saw another human-like vampire pounce on him.
Lucian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand and pointed, he must not let the matter of the space node here leak out!
I have to jump a few times with the help of the night plateau, and it will be dangerous to be discovered by a prince-level vampire.
Since Rhein didn't tell himself which vampire was trustworthy, then "treat everyone equally"!
Harold stared blankly at the empty altar, looking at the white transparent light shield that was slowly disappearing, and felt that he and the dwarves had been abandoned by the world.
Could it be that the dwarves' beliefs are not religious enough?
Could it be that the cruel vampire has been favored by the gods?
Is our fate completely predetermined?
His teeth bit his lip tightly, blood seeped out, and his despair, confusion, and despondency made him extremely tired, and he wanted to die.
Only death is the end of all suffering!
Only death can bring eternal peace!
Such emotions filled the hearts of every dwarf, even the Great Elder Augustus was not spared, the last trace of faith that supported him had disappeared, and his "world" collapsed.
An afterimage passed in front of their eyes and rushed towards the altar.
"Galata ......" Numb and dazed, they only remembered the name and had difficulty reacting to what had happened.
Suddenly, the Great Elder's cloudy pupils reflected the brilliant light that erupted in front of the altar!
Galata's whole body turned into a colorful mass of light!
Red, black, and green, countless points of light were sprayed out of the light cluster, some quickly turned into gas, some emitted a strong smell of sulfur, and some changed color quickly and fell to the ground with a soft sound.
In less than a second, Galata completely disappeared, leaving behind all kinds of "weird" things.
"What kind of magic is this?" Tess thought in horror. Before her bat wings even started flapping, Galata was killed? And "decomposed" into many substances?
She had never seen such eerie and terrifying magic!
Could it be a legendary magician? In legend, Hathaway's "elemental decomposition" has a similar description!
Great fear surged into her mind, and she had to escape! Run away! If you slow down, you will die!
A black mist rose, and countless tiny bats flew out of it, fleeing in all directions.
Wells and Edith haven't even reacted yet.
Seeing Galata turn into all kinds of "weird" things, Harold suddenly felt extreme joy in his heart.
The Lord has not abandoned us yet!
The god of steam is still watching over us!
Two lines of tears welled up again, and at this time, he felt a warm and soft force passing through his body, like the touch of his parents in childhood.
"Is this the power of God?"
In a trance, he heard a terrible scream, and subconsciously looked back, only to see the hateful overseer Wells emitting thick white smoke, pieces of rotten flesh and blood kept falling to the ground, and his whole body trembled and trembled, and he didn't even have the strength to escape. Soon, with a bang, Wells scattered his skeleton and fell to the ground, as did Edith, the maid beside him.
At the entrance of the passage, small black bats fell to the ground like rain, the black air on their bodies rolled and dissipated, and then they were shrouded in a faint holy light, quickly melting and disappearing.
Don't die and die!
A few seconds later, an invisible female scream of resentment echoed near the passage.
"Tess is dead? Galata is dead?"
The two "terrifying" vampires who were like everyone's nightmare just now died like this?
"Is this the power of God?"
The same question, different meaning, the surviving dwarves looked at it in disbelief.
Quikins was very close to the altar, and the part of Galata's "drop" was in front of him, and he subconsciously picked up one of the metal chips and a small piece of black solid.
His eyes suddenly widened greatly, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his expression was extremely excited: "This is iron, this is coal, it is really the god of steam!"
Leaving behind what was in his hand, Quinns stretched out his hands, fell to the ground, and prayed loudly:
"Great Lord of life and death, You love us as You hold the sovereign authority."
"Under Your glory, we will be free from all suffering and evil."
The Great Elder, Harold, Myrna and other dwarves looked at the altar, and then turned to look at the bat corpses, bones, and carrion left at the entrance of the passage, thinking of the horror of Tess performing magic just now, thinking that she had been purified without any resistance, and no longer had any doubts.
"The eyes of the mortal world cannot see the gods, ordinary brushes are difficult to depict the ultimate, and the true master will never appear in front of people!" Suddenly, the elder thought of the reason for "explaining" the emptiness of the altar, and became more and more excited, announced it loudly, and then bowed down and prayed reverently.
"You rule over everything, control the boundaries between life and death, are the King of kings, the God of God."
After hearing the Great Elder's "explanation", the rest of the dwarves followed him excitedly and ecstatically to worship the altar, making Lucian stunned.
"Our glory, our lives, our authority, belong to you, the great god of steam!"
All the dwarves were grateful in unison, and during the ups and downs, their eyes glanced at the altar, and their hearts suddenly remembered the terrible fate of Galata just now, and they suddenly became more and more religious.
Divine grace is like the sea, divine power is like a mountain!
Please ask for a monthly pass, it's about to fall out of the top ten~
