The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although it seems that the web weavers have been swallowed and absorbed by the stomach of chaos, in fact, those web weavers can still be reborn on the world web, and it is even possible that the few web weavers who have been swallowed are only real weavers. It's just the avatar of the netizen.

From the information fragments, Leo discovered that the Web Weavers had their own language and characters, because nearly 70% of the information collected from the fragments was a type of text that Leo had never seen before. The language is somewhat similar, and it should be a new language evolved from the ancient Gamore language. To interpret these fragments, I am afraid that Leo needs to decipher the language of these web weavers first.

However, although Leo couldn't understand the meaning of those languages ​​and words, there was a lot of image information in these undecipherable information fragments, and from these image information, Leo could be sure that these web weavers were people who were attached to the world of Velen, It is also independent of the civilization of the gods outside the world of Velen.

From the image, it can be seen that there should be a subspace kingdom on the world web that Leo saw before, and the weavers are the only creatures in that kingdom, and they are also the exclusive family members created by Death God Gain. Their role is to assist The god of death harvests the soul of every dead person, so that the soul can return to the world of Velen.

Judging from the content that can be interpreted by Leo and some images with obvious meanings, Death Gain is a special existence beyond the meaning of ancient gods and outer gods. He cannot even be called a god, but more like A world intelligence system similar to the superbrain intelligence of the Earth Federation produced by the self-defense mechanism of Vinylon World.

In the information fragments of the image category, there is an image similar to a sacrificial ceremony. This ceremony was carried out in a temple. The image moved in the temple with the sight of a certain web weaver, and at the place where the web weaver's sight swept There is a group of murals, this group of murals does not have any text, but it is enough for Leo to understand how the Death God Gain, a special god that has not been recorded by the Orthodox Church and has not been written in any text, was born.

In the Vinylon world, there is no such thing as reincarnation in the religion of the Earth Federation in the old earth era. After all life dies, the soul will reintegrate into the Vinylon world like the body, so that the Vinylon world is in a balance of life transformation .

It wasn't until the appearance of the first god, whose divine power caused ordinary humans to mutate and become the family of the gods, that the balance of life transformation was broken. After the family member dies, the soul will not be integrated into the Velen world like ordinary people, but will be taken away by the gods to which they belong, and sent to the subspace opened by the gods, called the Kingdom of God, to become a part of the gods.

Originally, it was just that the souls of the family members did not integrate into the Vinylon world. After all, there are not many ordinary people who can be infected by divine power and finally complete the transformation of the family members. Compared with the huge life system of the Vinylon world, it can only be described as a drop in the ocean.

But as the gods discovered how powerful the soul is to the gods, the gods also began to covet the souls of the Velen world. For this reason, the gods began to expand the scope of soul harvesting, no longer limited to the family members, but gradually from Saints, then fanatics, then ordinary believers and general believers, and even ordinary people who are not believers but just call the name of God before death and make repentance are also included in the scope of soul harvesting.

In this way, the balance of life transformation in the world is completely broken, and it is in this situation that Death God Gain appears.

God of Death Gain has no wisdom, only a mission. Harvesting the souls of the dead is the only factor for his existence. Anything that prevents him from harvesting souls is his enemy, including gods.

From the moment of appearance, Gin, the god of death, is a god, that is, a natural god that researchers of gods believe cannot exist, and is also the most powerful god in the world of Velen. He created a net of souls that surrounded the entire world of Velen, and re-harvested all the souls that were taken away by other gods, including the souls of the family, back to the world of Velen, even the souls of the gods of death were also included in his harvest.

Until the end of the age of gods, all kinds of gods began to disappear from the world of Velen due to unknown reasons, and the god of death, Gain, who appeared to fight against the gods, also fell into an eternal sleep. His family is born from His breath.

The purpose of the appearance of the Web Weaver is to maintain the soul web, and when there is an abnormal situation in the soul harvesting, it descends from the soul web to the world of Velen, and assists the soul web to harvest souls. Just like now, the monsters in the Black Forest and the family members harvesting the souls of ordinary people have touched the vigilance mechanism of the Weaver of the Web, prompting the Weaver of the Web to come to the world of Velen.

In addition, Leo also knew from the information fragments why the Weavers paid special attention to this fleeing team, because this fleeing team was very special.

As for what is special, the weaver of the web is not clear. Just knowing that some special beings in the Black Forest were talking about this team, and the content of these discussions was overheard by the Web Weaver.

However, the most interesting thing is that the time to talk about this fleeing team was before the French Empire crossed the Black Forest and launched a raid, that is, after Louis X signed a contract with the Black Forest. That is to say, half a year ago, the Black Forest already knew that such a fleeing team was going to cross the Dibia Mountains.

When reading this piece of information, Leo couldn't help but think that some beings in the Black Forest had the ability to see through the future and predicted the emergence of this fleeing team.

But after that, Leo thought again that those unknown beings in the Black Forest could not really see what happened in the future.

Because those who have taken a fancy to the current fleeing team and know the process of their generation, they can use the imperial army to capture them before the fleeing team is formed. After all, those who control the northern end of the Dibia Mountains are related to them. The imperial side of the contractual relationship.

At that time, after catching these people, they only need to send them directly to the Black Forest, and there is no need to make extra troubles like now, because if they can really see the future, they will naturally know about Leo, Su and the Web Weaver. These blockers will appear.

Therefore, Leo felt that the reason why those unknown beings in the Black Forest mentioned this fleeing team half a year ago was not because they knew the existence of this fleeing team in advance, but because they were preparing to artificially create such a fleeing team. This fleeing team was probably formed under the impetus of the Black Forest.

When you have doubts, go back and think about the composition of this fleeing team, and it is not difficult to find some suspicious things.

For example, even Leo accidentally discovered that there are several mountain villages in the depths of the Dibia Mountains, and those who have lived in the city of Dibia all the year round only know the city of Miria in some remote villages. It is very abnormal that the residents were able to successfully find this village without a guide, and not just one or two, but in groups.

In addition, there are also problems with the composition of the personnel who joined the fleeing team.

If only young and strong people such as scavengers with rich hiding experience and the ability to forcibly break through the blockade of the imperial army, mercenaries, etc. came to the deep mountains, that would be fine, but there are also old and weak among the refugees who came to the deep mountains Ordinary people like women and children do not have the spiritual power to survive in the wild.

These ordinary people in Miria City not only crossed the imperial army blockade that even the spies and soldiers of the United Kingdom may not be able to penetrate, they even walked a long way in the virgin forest on the outskirts of the Dibia Mountains. He lost his way and was not attacked by wild beasts in the primeval forest, so he came to the Orion Village in the deep mountains smoothly.

This can no longer be described as abnormal. It is simply telling any doubters that someone is secretly protecting these refugees to come to the mountain village and form the current escape team that has crossed the Dibia Mountains.

Leo, who thought of this, also discovered the abnormal situation on his body, because such an obvious abnormal situation appeared in front of him, it is reasonable to say that Leo should be able to find it easily, but he did not have any doubts about this situation at all, until So far.

In this regard, Leo does not think that this is an analysis loophole caused by the integration of the auxiliary brain system into the brain and the loss of an absolutely rational auxiliary system, nor is it a thinking defect caused by changes in body, mind and soul. Under the influence of some unknown force.

This reminded him of those people who disappeared silently in the camp. Obviously, the unknown existence in the Black Forest who did this wanted to influence Leo's thinking silently when he was unprepared. It is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Leo felt that he seemed to be accidentally involved in something extraordinary, and he had no way to deal with it for the time being, he could only take one step at a time, until he left the Dibia Mountains, he needed to be careful The plot of the black forest.

In the information fragments of the Web Weaver, in addition to understanding the current situation of the fleeing team and solving some questions, Leo also obtained some other useful information, such as the information of the family members.

The main enemy of the Weaver of the Web is the Familia, because the Weaver of the Web is not Gain, the god of death, and the ability of the Weaver of the Web to harvest souls is much weaker, which is only useful to ordinary people and most religious believers. Religions that still have the favor of the gods, such as the Church of the Lord of the Sky, have pious senior clergy, and they are not able to harvest.

It's just that there are not many such pious senior clergymen in every church, and their souls cannot be harvested, and it will not have any impact on the existential mission of the Web Weaver.

It is those family members that really affect the web weavers, because the family members themselves are mutations formed by the erosion of divine power, and they have more or less a trace of divine power in their bodies. This trace of divine power will have a great impact on the web weavers' harvesting of souls. What's more, some family members who have begun to master the power of the gods in their bodies will become gods' representatives. They create some underground churches and cults, and then gather believers to sacrifice their souls, and directly use that trace of gods and powers to sacrifice their souls to people who don't know who they are. Not some gods that still exist, and after the sacrifice, these souls will disappear from the world of Velen forever.

Therefore, the Weavers of the Web will often cooperate with dark world organizations like the Orthodox Church to fight against cults. What's more interesting is that the Night Watch, an organization that is completely opposed to the Familia, is also secretly established by the Weavers, and the relevant Families in various organizations in the Dark World Most of the information is from their hands.

At present, most of the information that can be deciphered in the information fragments of the Webweaver is about the family members of the Vinylon world, and these materials are more detailed than the family members in the hands of various forces in the dark world, from the distribution of the family members, to The living habits and abilities and weaknesses of the family members are recorded in great detail, and there are even decomposed and reused materials of the family members' usable organs specially prepared for the night watchmen.

It can be said that these fragments of information constitute an encyclopedia of family members in the Vinylon world. When Leo thoroughly integrated these materials, he is definitely the person who knows the family members best among the humans in the Vinylon world, and he stored them in the storage space. The various organs of the Swamp Son in the middle are no longer space-occupied sundries, and he is fully capable of making some useful potions from these organs.

It's just that these family members' information is not the most useful thing Leo has obtained from the decipherable information fragments. The really useful thing is that Leo knows what the spider tattoo on the back of his hand is and how to use it.

This spider tattoo is the soul imprint given by the web weaver to some soul-friendly people. This imprint can use conventional methods, such as psionic injection, to activate the original power of the web weaver in the imprint, so as to obtain part of the ability of the web weaver, such as seeing To the essence of the soul, such as seeing the breath of death and so on.

For ordinary psykers such as wizards and night watchmen, the ability they can obtain from imprints is very limited. They use the connection between imprints and the web of souls to obtain a long-distance communication that is close to the interplanetary communication of the Earth Federation. ability.

Through this ability, with the help of the web weavers, all soul-friends have established an underground organization, the Soul Society, which is even more secret than the Dark World Organization. Judging from some members of the Soul Society shown in the current information fragments, this underground organization The power of the organization has penetrated into all the underground forces in the dark world.

Now that Leo has this imprint, he is considered a natural member of the Soul Society, so he can also use the resources in the Soul Society.

However, what Leo valued the most was not the soul association attached to the spider mark, but the spider mark itself, or more correctly, the original power of the web weaver in the spider mark.

Through the images of those web weavers using their abilities in the information fragments, it can be said that Leo has fully grasped the abilities of the web weavers and the process of displaying various abilities. This also allows him to use his nightmare power, combined with the original power of the web weaver in the spider mark, to imitate himself as a web weaver. As long as he successfully imitates as a web weaver, he can not only use the soul web covering the entire Vinylon world, but also use various abilities possessed by the web weaver, and these abilities naturally include the ones dreamed of by the witch group Su Meng, and The coveted ability - death.
