Struggle in the Steam Age

"Who—" Hearing an old, aria-like voice from the empty Ding hall, Lawrence and Nora, who were originally in a relaxed state, suddenly became nervous.

However, after looking around the palace, the two of them soon discovered an old man in a black robe appeared in the hall of the palace, and was standing not far away holding a piece of parchment and a quill pen .

"You are?" Although Lawrence and Nora relaxed a little because of the end of the battle, they couldn't be found at such a close distance, so the appearance of such a person made them nervous.

"I am the master of this place." The old man in a black robe showed a slightly gloomy but still kind smile on his face.

"Just now I watched the whole battle of you, but I can't say that your performance is indeed very good, even compared to most of the gods, your performance is also very good."

"Excuse me, what's the reason you are here now?" After looking at Lawrence, the little puppet asked cautiously. Because at this time, both Lawrence and Safir realized that this person who looked like an ordinary roadside old man should be the mysterious ancient god of death.

"This is destiny, and the reason why I came here is because I want to witness the fulfillment of a destiny and the complete disappearance of an ancient god system." After hearing Lawrence's question, the ancient god of death said to Lawrence and the others with a smile arrive.

Lawrence and Nora immediately believed the old god of death. A mysterious and ancient Grim Reaper, especially in a home court like Styx, naturally has a strong enough advantage, so there is no need to deceive Lawrence and the others.

Sure enough, as the ancient god of death said. Whether it was Lawrence and the others adjusting their status or collecting loot, the god of death did not make any moves, and even disappeared again without the two of them noticing.

"What happened to that existence just now?" After realizing that the other party had left, the little puppet's tense nerves relaxed all of a sudden.

Even if they knew that the god had no malice towards them, just being in contact with such an existence was enough for Lawrence and the others to make them so nervous that their hairs stood on end.

"I think it might be like what he said, just to witness the occurrence of an important historical event." Lawrence thought for a while, and then felt that what the god of death said just now should be true.

After all, other than this kind of explanation, he really has no way to reasonably explain how the God of Death just came to look at it and then left directly.

"It's not just that." After the little puppet got rid of the tension after the appearance of the god of death just now, it quickly thought of another possibility that can be said to be very important. "I suspect it has something to do with his priesthood."

"Priest—you mean...fatalism?" Lawrence immediately realized what the puppet said.

"It is indeed possible. If, as he said, the complete fall of God Seth is equivalent to the final demise of the ancient Nile pantheon, then experiencing this scene can indeed benefit such a priesthood as fatalism."

"I think so too. After all, the reason why fate is called fate is that it contains some unbreakable meaning, so the other party can only watch on at this time, and at the same time minimize the existence and the impact of this existence on things." interference."

As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, Nora continued to follow the content of the topic he said. In this regard, her point of view is consistent with Lawrence, that is, the ancient god of death will not cause any harm to herself.

Also because of this judgment, after the adjustment was almost done, Lawrence and Nora began to check in this very magnificent palace, preparing to collect spoils.

The most important loot came from Nora's soul. After the defeat in the soul battle just now, seven fragments of different sizes burst out from the completely destroyed Seth's soul.

At first glance, the fragments would appear to be in a state of chaos, but upon closer inspection, the puppet found that the chaos of the fragments was only an appearance, and the real core had not suffered much damage.

"You said these things are the shards of the Kingdom of God, and they can be used in the future?" Looking at the seven gray crystal shards of different sizes floating on Nora's chest, Lawrence asked curiously.

To be honest, he had never seen what the so-called fragments of the Kingdom of God looked like before, so he naturally became very interested after hearing that the fragments scattered by the puppet were the fragments of the Kingdom of God.

According to the contents of the books I read in the Church of Knowledge before, the fragments of the Kingdom of God may look like crystal fragments, but in fact they give people a strong pressure.

But the seven shards that appeared in front of Lawrence now looked like ordinary broken crystals, or even glass shards. Because there is no pressure on the seven fragments at all.

"Of course this is a fragment of the Kingdom of God, but because of the invasion of alien divine power and the infiltration of the Styx, the original power was neutralized and hidden."

As Nora spoke, she stretched out her hand slightly to let the fragments of the Kingdom of God float in front of Lawrence, and motioned him to reach out and touch them.

After confirming Nora's thoughts, Lawrence immediately stretched out his hand and tried to touch these fragments of the Kingdom of God. But when he let his hand touch those fragments, he found that he didn't touch anything with his hand.

"It's a bit strange." After several attempts, Lawrence withdrew his hand and said to Nora. "I can feel the weak energy response here, and my five senses also tell me that there is indeed something in this place, but I can't touch it."

"That's right, this is a special point of the fragments of godhood." The little puppet laughed. "Different from the complete kingdom of God, fragments of the kingdom of God can only be accessed through a series of special means, such as this—"

Having said that, Nora snapped her fingers quite handsomely. A silver-green light immediately wrapped around Lawrence's hands, and then turned into a pair of gloves. And with the help of this glove, Lawrence touched those godhead fragments at once.

"What's inside these fragments?" Lawrence, who found nothing, asked Nora after picking up the fragments and looking carefully. "I can only vaguely feel like some buildings."

"It seems that my elder brother's natural perception is not low-no, it is very compatible with my divine power." Nora was stunned when Lawrence could perceive some of these fragments of the kingdom of God, and then thought of the reason.

"That means my perception is not wrong." Hearing what Nora said, Lawrence immediately realized that what he had just perceived was true. "But if I want to be more specific, I can't feel it. I feel that the situation inside is probably my limit."

"Naturally, the fog in the fragments of the Kingdom of God also comes from the power of the gods. As a mortal, you are already very good at doing this." After comforting Lawrence, Nora began to talk about the contents of these fragments.

According to the inspection just now, the little puppet can already confirm that these fragments are the most precious wealth preserved after the large-scale fall of the ancient Nile pantheon: the fragments of the kingdom of God of the core gods of the ancient Nile pantheon.

Only items of this level are worth sending core personnel from the various churches of the ancient Nile gods, which have become precarious after the fall of the gods, to go deep into the enemy's rear to retrieve them, and then send them all the way to such a dangerous place regardless of the church headquarters that is about to fall.

Even in order to keep this secret, that elite team chose to sacrifice their lives.

At least according to the results of Lawrence's inspection, those beings committed suicide and destroyed their souls by some special means after sending these things back then.
