Chapter 228: The Battle and Alliance of Two Gods
(No time to split into sections today, each chapter is 6k long)
Abes's thoughts and arrangements happened in a flash.
Just as he had imagined, he "sacrificed" the vacant space of his newly acquired blessing of the path, used the characteristics of a priest, and called upon Sass, the god of the human race and the god of perfection. Sure enough, the orc in front of him, who had only one intact eye, revealed an unnatural expression.
The reason why it is called a sacrifice is that this career choice was forced to be made in a time of crisis.
However, the expected battle did not happen.
Gruumsh, who was imperfect in every way with one eye missing, actually smiled when facing the god of the human race.
[How does it feel like time is finally flowing? You won't continue to fight with me here, right? ]
Faced with the other party's request, the tall and golden God of Perfection showed some embarrassment.
[We've had enough of the void and iron on the battlefield of Acheron. Logically, I can agree to your request, but I just can't refuse the wishes of my people.]
Abes became impatient with the riddles of both sides. He showed a pious look, bowed to the golden figure of Sass and said, "Please, Lord God, make a quick decision and strive for greater benefits for mankind."
However, Sass just shook his head and said, "Now that you've come this far, stop hiding your thoughts. You clearly think other races are very important to you."
His finger, which was as ethereal as a golden light particle, pointed at the space where he was, and at this time, Abes also understood that the other party was telling him that it was useless to lie in the space of consciousness.
However, as a relatively lawful god, Sass does not force the priests to have the same alignment and ideas as him.
[I won't blame you. In fact, I can't force you to do anything.]
Generally speaking, in the nine-square grid of camps, if you draw a cross with the god's camp as the center, the camps within its coverage area are all possible camps where priests may exist.
However, the farther it deviates, the more distant the relationship with the gods should be; if it moves to a centrally symmetrical position, then they will become enemies to the death.
And Abes Grande is the favorite valued by the gods.
What Abes didn't know was that due to certain reasons, let alone Sass who had some similarities with him, even if he found a god who was completely opposed to him, the other party would have no choice but to accept it.
Because, when Zhenbao took the initiative to choose to become a priest, the rank closest to you in all the paths;
When the treasure rolls towards your hand;
No one will say that they don’t want to!
[It looks like...very much like...although it is still far from complete...but as expected, I still feel quite lucky. 】
Sass stared at Abes for a while. There seemed to be stars spinning in his eyes, deep and mysterious.
But Abes did not understand what Sass said. He only cared about whether he could get rid of the madness that Gruumsh had injected into him.
He was only thinking about how he should regain control of his body next.
And since the purpose of calling out Sass is to plot against Geumsh, Abes will not easily allow himself to be used and plotted against by Sass.
[Oh, well, a deep sense of vigilance and isolation...]
The tall shadow of golden light seemed to sigh softly.
The next moment, after knowing the thoughts of his "believers" through the feedback of the consciousness space, Sass finally began to act.
That's fighting!
First, he raised his hand and stretched it out towards Abes's consciousness space.
The consciousness space, which was originally empty, like a gray concrete rough house, instantly changed its picture.
It was an evening that seemed so long that it would swallow everyone up, and the sky seemed to be dyed red with blood.
And in such a scene, a battle between gods is about to begin.
The God of Perfection and God of Humanity, Sass, shuddered.
There was no armor on his body, but instead he was wearing a battle suit that looked like it was woven from pure white wings.
This reminded Abes of the wreaths and feathers that winners received in sports competitions.
Sure enough, this god of perfection greatly appreciates sports competitions as a form of displaying perfect bodies and perfect spirits.
Wearing a battle suit as light as a feather, Sass stood on the broken earth. His eyes were like the brightest stars, shining with the light of indomitable spirit and conquest.
【Come! 】
The space around his palm distorted instantly, and the next moment, a giant sword appeared in his hand.
However, the magical light of the infused weapon flowing on the sword and the extremely familiar shape made Abes realize that this giant sword seemed to have scaled and stretched the half-sword in his hand to a certain extent?
"My God, are you unable to summon your own divine weapon?"
As a racial god who fought his way from a weak divine power to a powerful divine power, Sass certainly had his own weapons according to relevant records.
And it should be a giant sword emitting a sacred and dazzling light.
Different from traditional weapons that are formed from the glory, justice or hope of gods, Sass's weapons all come from pride, perfection and dignity.
Therefore, Abes's half-hand sword was obviously designed for fast-paced combat. Even if it was enlarged to the proportions of a giant sword, after gesturing in his hand for a while, Sass clearly showed some dissatisfaction.
As for this, the god in front of him did not want to explain too much to Abes, [It's just some reasons, you will see later, he is not much better anyway. ]
Unlike Sass, who uses you, me, and him as pronouns, Gruumsh's tone is more traditional, using classical words such as uru.
I don't know whether it's because the two have different speaking habits, or if this god of theirs wants to get closer to Abes.
[I come, I fight, and you will lose! ]
Facing Sass was the one-eyed god, Gruumsh, the god of orcs.
Although in the space of consciousness, the two are of similar size.
However, from the aura he exudes, this one-eyed god can still convey pressure as heavy as a mountain.
His skin was covered with some broken armor scales as hard as rock, and a crude body armor made of cloth, leather and metal plates.
Not perfect. But very orcish.
The one remaining eye hung on his face, flashing a fierce and greedy light.
Not perfect. But very orcish.
Weapons also began to appear in Gruumsh's hands.
After the darkness dissipated, what appeared in Geumsh's hand, tightly grasping was a "ferocious-looking" giant axe.
There were gaps and notches of unknown meaning, and strips of cloth and rattan ropes wrapped around them to secure the axe head and handle.
And the one-eyed god obviously didn't expect that he would call out such a weapon.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Abes, [You...what did you do with the batch of sacrifices that I refined? ]
At this point, how could Abes not guess that the sacrifice that Geumsh was talking about was the soldiers of Crowhold who were killed by him?
"Are you talking about the group of people who were tortured into madness by the battle royale you set up, and who gained stronger fighting power through the evil advancement method of [Crazy Soldiers] by devouring the flesh and blood of their own kind?"
Abeth's eyes flashed with suppressed anger, "I granted them a painless death."
And after saying this, Abes said to Sass with some genuine emotion, "They are all human beings."
After hearing this, Sass's fighting spirit became even stronger.
As for this, Geumsh could only blame himself for his bad luck.
If the sacrifices were still there, perhaps he would be able to come up with some better axes.
Looking at the tattered things he has in his hands, does that mean that the "believers" who are still praying for him can only take out these things?
Fortunately, I made some deals with the bright green guy, which allowed me to gain some advantages before time resumed.
There is no need to worry about a slight waste of energy.
zizi——
Unable to fall behind in the lethality of his weapon, Gruumsh mobilized his strength and wrapped the axe with the power of darkness and resentment, as if it could devour all light and hope.
【Kill! ! 】
【war!】
----------
As the first rumble of thunder rang through the sky, the two gods rushed towards each other, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of lightning.
Sass wielded the giant sword with the force of thunder. Every swing was accompanied by an earth-shaking roar. The sword energy was like a dragon, like an arrow breaking through the air, pointing directly at Gruumsh.
And Gruumsh was not to be outdone. The huge axe in his hand was like a gust of wind and rain, tearing the air in front of him apart.
Every slash seemed to be accompanied by a wild beast roar, as if it was going to tear the world apart.
Abes wanted to describe it with words like "the great road was wiped out", but unfortunately, the place where they fought was within Abes's consciousness.
Even if the intensity of the battle doubled, it would not be possible to distort the surrounding space, because consciousness does not exist in space.
All that consciousness can provide is some intuition.
Therefore, following the attacks of the two gods, the only change that could be seen was that the dusk in the sky was torn apart, revealing cracks.
While the battle was going on, Sass, the perfect god, was acting according to what Abes had expected before - he used his strength to protect the venue, that is, to protect Abes' consciousness from collapsing in the fight between the two of them.
And such actions have brought some unexpected benefits.
Have you ever chosen some sports elective courses such as Changquan, Tai Chi or aerobics?
The process of learning these movements is a process of creating something from nothing and engraving the image in your mind.
By the time people have learned the tricks, they can actually do it. Even without the reference of video cases, without the teacher's step-by-step instruction, and without the movements of other companions in the queue, they can still perform the movements completely based on the images in their minds.
After that, even if you don't study or train for many years, just by closing your eyes, you can make a little person "dance" for you in your mind.
But now, Abesi does not need to study hard for many years to get a clear enough picture.
Because, at this moment, aren’t there two “little men” gesturing in his mind?
Their gestures are more than just a picture.
Instead, it includes almost infinite details.
Just as software relies on hardware to be used, so when they fight in Abes's mind, they first need to call upon a part of Abes's "thinking" to execute their actions.
And this is the hands-on teaching that is clearer and more insightful than any teacher’s instruction.
