The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The turmoil caused by the out-of-control mutants quickly subsided, and everyone quickly put this matter behind them and returned their attention to the matter of visiting the Sea God Temple.

The reason why they adjusted their mentality so quickly was not only because the strength of the spirit guards gave them a sense of security, and they didn't have to worry about their own safety after such things happened, but also because there were out-of-control mutants among the people who visited the Sea God Temple. This incident is not uncommon. In the past, every group of people who visited the Sea God Temple would have one or two cases.

These out-of-control mutants don't just appear in the pious believers of other ethnic groups, even the priests of the Sea Race, the Spirit Race, and the Sea God Church have seen such out-of-control mutants.

As for the cause of the out-of-control mutants, there is still no clear answer, but there are several theories that have been circulated among the people, and the one that is the most widely spread and recognized as the most likely correct answer is those out-of-control mutations. They are all false believers, all their beliefs are pretended, when in fact they are all unbelievers or heretics.

The Sea Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the Sea God Church neither denied nor acknowledged this statement, nor did they restrict the spread of this statement, and after a similar mutant appeared among their people, they would also secretly investigate the relationship with this out-of-control mutant People who have had various close contacts, and their various behaviors seem to have acquiesced to this statement.

However, now Leo discovered that the so-called mutants are false believers is actually wrong. The real answer should be the opposite. Not only are out-of-control mutants not false believers or heretics, but they are the most devout Sea God believers among all people, even Even fanatics can't compare, because the out-of-control mutation that happened just now is not a punishment in a sense, but a blessing, because that kind of mutation is called sanctification in the church of Velen World.

In the church in the world of Velen, some extremely devout believers will receive the blessing of the gods during a certain church ceremony. During the blessing, his body will undergo rapid transformation. If his body can withstand the transformation, then he He will eventually become a living saint of the church, and his status will increase rapidly. Even though he was just a beggar before, the moment he becomes a living saint, his status can almost rival that of the pope or archbishop of the church.

But if the body fails to survive sanctification, then it will be completely purified, and the purified remains of the body will become holy relics of the church.

When the out-of-control mutation appeared on that person just now, Leo's mental net had already detected it. Although the effectiveness of the mental net was weakened a lot due to the influence of the surrounding environment, even if it was weakened, he could clearly perceive it. To the physical condition of that mutant.

In other people's eyes, that person's mutation is out of control, but in Leo's perception, the mutation in that person's body is orderly, and every mutation is very stable, absolutely not out of control, and more importantly, the body of the other party Life energy is also increasing steadily and rapidly. It is no exaggeration to say that if the mutant is not killed, his life will complete a staged evolution, and if he can survive the evolution, he will transform into a higher Otherwise, the energy generated by the evolution of life will backfire and completely destroy it, and the process of this destruction is somewhat similar to out-of-control mutation.

Not everyone has a super perception of energy changes like Leo, and has a spiritual network that can check the state of other people's bodies, so it is very difficult to distinguish between sanctified and out-of-control mutants. The practice of various churches in the world of Velen is very simple , is to lock up the mutant until the end of his mutation.

If it is an out-of-control mutant, just get rid of it directly, but if it is a sanctified person, release it and focus on cultivating it.

However, it is obvious that the church and ethnic groups in Seagod's World deal with this kind of situation more directly, regardless of whether it is a mutant or a sanctified person, they will all be executed, saving the manpower and time required for identification.

At this time, Leo noticed that the shaman on the other boat seemed to become nervous, and subconsciously played with the bone necklace on his neck from time to time. Obviously, the necklace on the neck was very important in the shaman's mind. Leo guessed maybe It was the reason why this pagan shaman dared to come to the Sea God Temple.

Although Leo didn't know how strong the natural shaman's reliance was, at least his mental network couldn't perceive the energy fluctuations of the bone necklace, but he could sense the other party's emotional changes after the appearance of the so-called out-of-control mutant. A lot of nervousness, such a state of mind will be very passive in front of the power of the gods that can most affect the spirit and soul. Even if the disguise on the nature shaman can deceive the power of the sea god, the loopholes in his state of mind may become his Achilles' heel.

However, there is no way for Leo to help him now. Although he is very curious about the inheritance of this natural shaman, his curiosity is not strong enough to make him take risks, so he can only be a bystander back then. Let's see if this natural shaman's next exposure is lucky enough to pass the level.

There is obviously an effect of superimposed space in Yinyue Lake. The ship sailed at almost full speed on the water for several hours and still did not reach the island in the lake where the Sea God Temple is located. According to the Lingzu people, it will take at least half a tidal day to sail. , to reach the Sea God Temple on the island in the lake.

During this period of time, several people mutated out of control one after another. Among these people were not only those who visited the Sea God Temple this time, but also people from the Spirit Race. Under the observation of Leo's spiritual network, these few people were regarded as out-of-control mutants. Among the people, only one is a sanctification phenomenon, and the others are true out-of-control mutants. The genetic cells in their bodies are changing rapidly and disorderly due to the stimulation of the surrounding sea god's divine power, which eventually leads to the complete collapse of their bodies.

Among these mutants, one person's body mutated so quickly that within a few breaths, before the spirit clansman shot to death, he collapsed into a puddle of mud.

And Leo found that the mutation of this person was not due to his own reasons, but was known by someone secretly, and the person who did it secretly was the natural shaman that Leo paid attention to.

I don't know if that person has a grudge against the nature shaman, or if the nature shaman wants to test something. When the person was not paying attention, the nature shaman used some kind of shaman spell to inject some kind of energy into the person's body. It didn't take long for the person's body to mutate extremely rapidly and out of control.

The rapid collapse of that person's body seems to have frightened the natural shaman, so that his emotions fluctuated greatly afterwards. If possible, he may have withdrawn, and now he may regret this visit in his heart The move of the Sea God Temple.

Leo already had a faint feeling that this nature shaman might be in danger. If it was a few hours ago, when the ship had just left the port, he might still have a way to help this nature shaman, but now he can't help it. He was a little overwhelmed, because as he got closer and closer to the Seagod Temple, the seagod's divine power in the surrounding air became stronger and stronger, and this divine power was accompanied by a whisper that went straight into the soul.

This kind of whispering sound is very special and not everyone can hear it. Only a few people with special perception can hear these sounds, and the sound that everyone hears seems to be different. For example, what Leo heard was a The voice of an elderly woman spoke a completely unfamiliar language, while some people heard singing, noise, and even the sound of sea tides.

For those Seagod believers, these whispers were more like a blessing from the Seagod. They accepted this blessing with reluctance, and listened carefully, hoping to hear the revelation from the gods.

However, this kind of sound is completely a kind of spiritual attack to Leo, a believer. He can feel that as this sound is poured into his ears, his spirit also appears under the influence of this sound. Some changes, for which he had to focus his energy on resisting this kind of raving, and the method he used to resist the raving was very simple, that is to dilute this raving with other ravings.

The effect of this approach is naturally significant. Leo can easily eliminate the adverse effects of this kind of babbling, but to maintain the balance of this kind of babbling confrontation, it requires Leo to invest a lot of energy, so Leo will be right The attention of other people around was withdrawn, and they concentrated on controlling the balance of the raving confrontation.

When a person concentrates on doing one thing, time passes quickly. As the island where the Sea God Temple is located enlarges at a speed visible to the naked eye, half a tidal day also passes by, and the strange thing is that the murmurs also At this time, it gradually weakens and finally disappears.

Leo's attention also shifted to the outside world after the murmurs disappeared, and soon he paid attention to the island of the Sea God Temple that was gradually approaching.

For others, the island of the Sea God Temple is very magical. The entire island is composed of countless hexagonal stone pillars of different sizes and lengths. The coast made up of horn-shaped stone pillars and so on, so that the entire island does not look like a natural one at all, but more like a man-made one, so some people say that only the mighty power of the Sea God can create this regular island.

However, this kind of miraculous landform in the eyes of others is very ordinary in the eyes of the well-informed Leo. He has seen even more miraculous landforms in the universe, and this kind of landform looks artificial In his view, the hexagonal stone pillar islands can also be manufactured through natural evolution.

Compared with the magical shape of the island, Leo pays more attention to the towering temples built with spiral building boulders on the island.

Because I have seen giant buildings on Yam Island in the past, although the current Poseidon Temple is magnificent and huge, it doesn't make Leo pay too much attention to it. The only thing in the temple that is really worthy of Leo's research is the temple. Those reliefs on the outer wall.

Before the boat docked, Leo had already used his spiritual vision ability to see the relief patterns on the top of the Sea God Temple from a very long distance.

Just like the holy halls or altars of all churches, the sleeping temple of the Sea God also uses reliefs and other means to depict some of the achievements of the Sea God that can be called great achievements in the past.

When Leo saw those reliefs, he was attracted by the painting above at first glance, because there were a large number of interstellar warships depicted in that painting, including many Via motherships, and there were even clear The Waiar clan crest is engraved on the other.

It can be seen from the screen that Poseidon was confronting the spaceship of the Via people at that time, and on the side of Poseidon, you can see many civilian spaceships that are retreating.

From these patterns, it is not difficult to see that the situation at that time should be that the Weiya people were attacking some cosmic civilizations, and the Sea God was protecting these cosmic civilizations from evacuating and preventing the Weiya people from attacking.

The content of this set of reliefs is extremely clear. Even people who don't know much about cosmic civilization and war can easily understand the meaning after seeing this set of reliefs.

But after Leo saw this set of reliefs, he had a lot of doubts, because according to his understanding of cosmic civilization, that set of reliefs contained a lot of contradictory content that could not be justified.

First of all, the biggest contradiction is who carved this group of reliefs, because the spaceships in the reliefs are carved extremely finely, even tiny parts like the energy beam deflectors on both sides of the spaceship are carved out, and There are also a large number of fleet number codes and so on engraved. Unless one knows these spaceships very well, it is absolutely impossible to engrave them so finely.

In addition, there are too many unreasonable contradictions in the content. For example, among the cosmic civilizations that escaped, at least three cosmic civilizations are advanced cosmic civilizations. Compared with the civilization of the Weiya people, they are only stronger than weaker. The cosmic civilizations are enough, and now they have a crushing advantage over the three high-level cosmic civilizations and dozens of intermediate cosmic civilizations, making these civilizations have to flee their homes. Among the cosmic civilizations he knows, even the most absurd delusion People don't dare to think so.

In addition, Sea God is an Omega-level advanced life form. Whether he is the mother of water or not, he has extremely powerful combat power in the universe. With the level of civilization of the Weiya people, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the strength of a branch tribe alone. Competing against a real Omega-level advanced life form.

From the relief screen, Poseidon seems to be on the weak side. The opponent's interstellar battleship suppresses Poseidon very severely, and may defeat Poseidon at any time. Even Leo can see the one in the picture that uses symbols instead of images Sea God couldn't last long.

One of the biggest doubts about the entire relief is the location of the battlefield. The people who sculpted this group of reliefs are very meticulous, and even engraved the star map marking the position of the battlefield on the relief as the background, and the star map above is the largest in the universe. Uniquely, almost any medium civilization has this star chart, because this is the star field where the supreme council of the universe is located.
