It's better to engage in technology than love [quick wear]

Probably because of getting used to it or something else.

Shen Hui is making robots faster and faster.

A lot of chips have also been prepared.The little robot also recorded Shen Hui's way of assembling the robot in its brain, and then did its part.

In short, everyone in the park is working hard, and those local people in the village who are related to black felt hats are also trying their best to work hard.

Only those outsiders looked very ridiculous one by one, so ridiculous that people felt really incomprehensible.

Looking at the serious look on Shen Hui's face, he couldn't help but say, "My lord, you don't need to make yourself unhappy because of other people, no matter what kind of enemy you face, They are our enemies, not yours, and you don't have to be unhappy because of us or because of them."

"I'm not happy, but I'm really impatient. I like a saying called, God helps those who help themselves, and others help those who help others. If they try hard to turn around, then this battle does not necessarily have to face the result of failure, and if They just want to live in a daze, but there is no possibility of turning over at all, and the knife of death has always been hanging above their heads."

"Now I have decided not to help them anymore, I only help you, because you believe in me, and I also because you want to save the world, and also because you don't want to see those monsters hurt your compatriots, so I will do this made."

The dark circles under Shen Hui's eyes are already very obvious, and he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

Now I really urgently need to sleep. When I think of the barriers of the world that have gradually become as thin as cicada's wings, I can't help worrying whether these people wearing black felt hats will be in front of those monsters. Under one attack, it was completely annihilated into ashes.

Just as he occasionally thinks that coming to this world actually has some concept of fate in it, although it feels a bit abnormal for him to think about this obvious idealism while he is making robots.

"Thank you very much." He knelt down again, and it only took two or three days for Shen Hui to change his habits from the initial obstruction to the subsequent change.

The pious performance of these people not only respects the existence they regard as gods, but also respects Shen Hui himself.

As he said, God helps those who help themselves, and others help those who help others.

They wanted to help humans who were attacked by monsters, and they didn't want their compatriots to be harmed, so they started the call.

And the summoned people also agreed with their ideas and wanted to save the world.

No matter how the future changes, this is something to be happy about.

Quan Feng is older than young people. After suffering for so long, his head is getting dizzy, but he is still trying to assemble the robot with his eyes wide open. In the end, he just fell to the ground with the parts, and hurriedly When I rushed over, I found that he was just asleep, so I let out a sigh of relief.

"My lord priest is too tired." Let him rest for a while, "I will try my best to finish the workload of two people." He said very seriously.

Shen Hui said, "Go and rest, too. There are more than 600 different versions of robots, but there is still not enough material, so there is no way to make a robot with higher lethality. The parts next to it are at most enough. Build three or five robots, I will do it myself, and you can go to sleep too."

He nodded movedly, walked to Quan Feng's side, his eyes were red again, although he had seen it several times, but every time he saw it, he felt very strange, the red power soon lingered in Quan Feng's body physically.

Quan Feng's body was floating beside him, and together with her, he returned to the bed where he could rest. The big soft bed made people relax and had a good sleep.

He just woke up, and when he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a huge change between the world and the earth.

Everyone's ears heard a very obvious clicking sound, but Shen Hui murmured, and quickly rushed out of the resting room and began to prepare.

The speed of those monsters is not particularly fast.

Still within an acceptable range.

Shen Hui has already made all the preparations. The little robot flew over the heads of all the robots sitting in rows in the park, and unlocked all the robots standing behind Shen Hui.

Although I didn't want to make those robots look like humans, they were still made into the looks of humans in the latter batch, because the skin has a strong defensive effect on humans, and correspondingly, the epidermis also has a role for robots. High defense.

The robots behind them opened their eyes one by one, and their eyes seemed to be glowing red.

The things on the body that look no different from human clothes are actually made of various metals, and the inspiration for manufacturing comes from hand-made.

Shen Huidan stood in front of all the robots, holding the Yuehua Sword in his hand, and shouted from a distance, "Chong."

He installed all the robots with flying hangers, Shen Hui himself was carried by the little robot and flew in mid-air, while the robots on the ground, in the eyes of those wearing black felt hats, all flew up one by one, just like Standing in mid-air like this, it looks so incredible.

The person in the front with fluttering clothes may really be a god, but he has never discovered it himself.

Meet the enemy, solve the enemy, the reason is that simple.

While Shen Hui rushed over with the robot, he was also silently calculating whether other countries were ready to fight.

It was as if a big hole had been broken in the sky, the darkness and obscurity over there and the air rushing desperately towards this peaceful world were so terrifying.

Humans can only watch all this helplessly.

However, the various countries that are constantly using various technological products to pay attention to the battlefield suddenly discovered that many people appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, no, to be precise, there was only one person, and many robots.

And that person is the one who solved all the black mud in their country before.

Do you see yourself as a savior?

madness!

Many people thought so in their hearts, but they called immediately, "Hurry up and bring someone to support, whether it is a helicopter or various things, to support, understand?"

Their subconscious mind told them that Shen Hui must not go wrong. Once something goes wrong, maybe some things are not acceptable to them humans.

Robots have many attack methods, and Shen Hui also equips them with weapons equal to the metal on the surface of their bodies. Each robot has different weapons, because it is always necessary to test eighteen kinds of weapons, which one will be the most effective for those Monsters do the most damage.

In addition, what is installed in their eyes is actually a flame that compresses various flames taken from the system.

When Shen Huizhen did the experiment, it was much faster than expected.

It is really difficult to compress all those flames into the stone, but when it is successful, those robots can rely on their own sensitivity to data to extract the flames from the eyes, use the traces of flames as weapons, and aim at the stone. Those monsters attacked.

There was a sound of screams. To the high-level monsters, the low-level monsters are nothing at all, but those high-level monsters did not guess those robots, and each of them would produce flames, and after the flames stained the upper body, But there is no way to extinguish it.

He watched helplessly as his body was burned to a pile of ashes.

This line of defense composed of one person and a bunch of robots is like a miracle, blocking everything to the end of the sky.

After all, they still did not bring them to the interior of the planet.

Once the power of demons enters that planet, no one knows what kind of changes will be caused to that planet, and similarly, they also don't know whether it will cause changes to the humans there.

The Yuehua sword in Shen Hui's hand pointed directly at the big demon standing behind all the monsters, and he rushed over immediately, leaving behind afterimages at the speed of running on the ground. Even high-tech products could no longer detect his movements, and the robots behind him rushed over one by one without moving.

The luster of the metal glistens in the sun.

Their various attack methods are as perfect as textbooks.

Shen Hui immediately let the little robot carry him and flew towards the big devil.

Because that thing directly blocked the entrance of the broken barrier at the end of the sky, and only when it was solved could all kinds of things that were already ready to be aimed at and launched be sent out.

But this time it was far easier to deal with the Zerg Queen than before.

The power of chaos is very domineering, even though he doesn't know how to use it, and he doesn't know all kinds of spells, but he just looks around his body and on the Yuehua Sword with that power, and he can cause damage to those monsters. major blow.

On the way forward, other robots covered him. All the monsters who wanted to attack him were almost eliminated by Shen Hui with a sword. Not only the power of chaos, but also the merits were very overbearing.

For those monsters living in the darkness, they exist like heaven and earth, completely irresistible.

The information learned during the battle also made Shen Hui understand what the human counterattack method should be.

Since these things are afraid of things that are as strong as the sun, it is simple, just prepare a lot of lightning rods all over here, and then, artificial rainfall.

Technology can always change many things.

When attacking the monster blocking the entrance with all his strength, Shen Hui was already ready, and quickly gave the little robot a new command, and after a while, people all over the world had received it. After receiving a message, he began to throw hot weapons at the huge monster.

Those people didn't know why such a series of words suddenly appeared on the display screen they had been staring at, and they were cleverly translated into their native language.

When they used various devices to zoom in on the camera, they saw Shen Huibi make an OK gesture, a gesture that all countries understand, and they all understood it.

In the next moment, a gray-golden light flashed directly across the Yuehua Sword, cutting the monster in half, and then another flame rushed up, completely preventing it from trying to fuse its body together. The possibility of continuing to live.

The speed of the flame burning was very fast. Under the attention of people all over the world, a hole was soon left there. It was as black as ink and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. However, they had already positioned their target there. .

Simply the gap is getting bigger and bigger, otherwise some high-intensity martial arts might not be able to pass through.

Sensing something rushing towards this side at an extremely fast speed, Shen Hui ran away with the robot immediately.

Those monsters who were beaten up and felt that they were not far from death, the remaining monsters watched them run away in awe.

Then he seemed to see a black spot appearing on the horizon.

what is that?

Wait, it seems that it is not one black spot, but many black spots...

Shen Hui was extremely thankful that he ran fast. Although the diameter of those weapons could pass through the hole, they would still have some impact on the surroundings as they moved forward.

In addition, Shen Hui believes that the people who control the aiming of these weapons should have already determined what is happening on the other side of the world. Before those hot weapons explode. There will be a camera device on it, and it will faithfully capture the All the pictures that came down were passed on to the humans in the rear.

The dark environment, the dead trees, the crows, and the rivers made up of blood and sludge could occasionally see some bones. It was like hell in some literary works.

but.

The hot weapon they dropped there exploded.

Shen Hui could even hear the loud noise.

Concentrate [-]% of the power on the eyes, and when you look at it, you can see the reaction of those hot weapons when they explode.

Something that can fly, and a weapon that flies over at such a fast speed, for the monsters, they don't even know what it is.

In the end, it directly returned to the dust amidst the powerful explosion.

I have no idea how I died.

Shen Hui blew a whistle, this is called plane war!

A picture like that of unilateral human beings being tortured and killed by demons is not called war, it is called killing pigs.

This kind of evenness is called fighting!

Shen Hui touched the little robot again, and soon more Rewu was thrown into the place where the hole was.

One by one, the monsters who discovered the light thought they had hope, had the hope of living, but they didn't expect to face complete despair.

Shen Hui doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, they cannibalize those things, and this is something he can never accept!

【Well... let me tell you something. 】

The system popped up out of nowhere.

Shen Hui blinked, a little curious about what he was doing out of the blue.

【Say. 】

[Just now, the slag attack born under the influence of my system in the world of demons on the opposite side was directly bombarded by the bomb...]

Shen Hui laughed out loud when he heard the news, [Hahahahaha yes yes! 】

He also thought that if the scumbags in this world were those wearing black felt hats, they might be a little embarrassed to deal with them, but he didn't expect it to be a monster!

That's easy, just keep blasting in, and that's it!

[…] The system fell silent.

How should I put it, the son of his family seems to be extremely eager to kill all the scumbags.

Even though they didn't see each other at all.

The battle was still going on, and the lowly monsters were directly wiped out by all kinds of hot weapons that rushed into their world.

Although advanced ones can avoid damage, but when some lock-on attacks appear and specifically pick that kind of big monster to charge upwards, it feels too stupid.

One by one, they were chased after each other by all kinds of hot fighters.

Inhumane!

Shen Hui laughed out loud as he watched.

It's this effect.

There have been wars, it's not about life and death, and of course he will not be merciful.

Taking advantage of those demons, who were battered by the continuous heat, and endured the pressure to attack the world, he once again led a team of robots lined up and charged towards the demons.

Not only monsters will be hurt, when the powerful attack reaches the robot's body, they will also be damaged, but they will keep attacking until the energy is not exhausted.

So say it.

I don't want to make them look like humans at all.

It is easy to cause a critical blow to him as a manufacturer. Every robot is made by him with his painstaking efforts. The process of assembling bit by bit is actually a very beautiful thing.

Although he didn't put any more emotion into those robots, and planned to mass-produce combat robots from the beginning, Shen Hui was still angry when they were damaged.

It feels like my baby, only I can bully, only I can dislike, you scumbags, dare to cause harm to them, die to die!

When Shen Hui really fights, he looks like a fighting lunatic. He doesn't care about so many tricks, and the moves in the martial arts world that he has learned before are also used here. Without hesitation, he hit one monster after another.

When the batch of monsters that rushed up were dealt with, those robots that were not made of corrosion-resistant metals were damaged as he imagined, and the damage was difficult to repair.

"No. a64 has been fatally injured, it cannot be repaired, it cannot be repaired, please ask number a398 to accept the energy, please ask number a368 to accept the energy."

"Request a64 to activate energy reception via a398."

Similar mechanical sounds on the battlefield have been repeated.

Robots that have been fatally injured can feel that their bodies have no way to support their chips to continue to operate, so they will directly transfer all the energy in their bodies to robots that have not suffered major injuries, allowing them to continue fighting.

This is why Shen Hui likes technology so much. Everything he makes will never betray him, even though there is no such word as betrayal in his world.

very angry.

He was very, very angry, and even blamed himself a little, why did he equip them with a voice pack before, and the robot that said those words caused a faint crit to his mind.

Obviously it's just a tool for fighting, but inexplicably, it has feelings, which are completely different from the feelings towards human beings.

ah ah ah ah...

Tangled to manic!

And he can't really analyze on the battlefield, the only thing he can do is to go all out to kill those monsters.

The blood splashed on his body quickly became cold, the robot would not bleed, and Shen Hui would not allow his body to be damaged.

In everyone's eyes, the battle is a one-sided trend, because no human beings were harmed at all, but when they looked at the damaged robots inexplicably, all the people all over the world who were paying attention to this battle felt a kind of It's a very uncomfortable feeling.

It's like knowing that the soldiers in front are protecting their world with their lives, but they can't help at all. Not only that, but they can only watch them die.

It's just a machine, bastard!

On a mountain peak in the distance, Quan Feng was saying to him beside him, "Look, that is our god, he is fighting ahead, he can stop all enemies by himself, and he can also tell the whole world How do people fight back, it will give us more motivation to live!"

Quan Feng's eyes were full of water vapor, and his tears were about to fall. He had lived for so many years, but it was the first time he realized that he could be so sentimental.

"Yes, he is." He nodded, her eyes were far away, and the red power formed two halos in her eyes, not only can she see the future sometimes, but also the existence of far away places.

"We are living by him, but we can't live by him alone. Man and God are not in the same world. He always returns to his own world. He can only provide part of the help. The rest of the battle still depends on We'll do it ourselves."

Quan Feng took a deep breath, stopped paying attention to the frontline battlefield, and took him back to the village immediately, and everyone in the village was ready to fight.

As for the people who stay here to linger and want to survive, they are simply not within their focus.

If these people have no intention of resisting, they will die sooner or later, because the picture brought before the explosion of Rewu clearly told human beings that there will always be several times more monsters in that world than human beings.

It is also impossible for them to throw all the hot weapons there, and the day of direct confrontation is not far away.

As for Shen Hui, it is impossible to resist all this for them all the time.

"Are you ready?" Quan Feng stood in front of the crowd, and he asked the people in black felt hats. As for the people in the village who don't have this outfit, the village chief will be responsible.

"We are ready!" Everyone said in unison, their eyes were full of enthusiasm, and being able to fight with their beliefs was something that could only appear in fantasy, but now, it has become a reality.

"Then let's go." Quan Feng exhaled, holding a scepter in his hand, is it a person with special power, who has escaped the world for a thousand years, and their pure blood makes their strength compared to a thousand years ago His ancestors were not much different, completely different from ordinary humans in the outside world.

What they hold in their hands are all magic wands, because their strength needs to be swayed by this kind of thing. It seems to have the feeling of a magician in a picture book, but it is completely different.

Magicians rely on the power of the heavens and the earth, but they rely on the power in the blood. Once they want to launch a large-scale attack, they will consume their own lives.

But everyone rushed to the front line without any hesitation.

Shen Hui didn't have much reaction to the black felt hat that suddenly appeared beside him. He had known for a long time that these people couldn't just watch him fight on the front line and fight alone.

Even though there are countless robots behind them, they still have no way to empathize with the robots without any human consciousness. They only have Shen Hui at the front in their eyes.

This belief and fanaticism always made Shen Hui feel inexplicable.

Later, I could only tell myself that there was no reason for the emergence of some feelings.

This also accepts reality.

And when the first wave of Rewu's attack was over, most of the time had passed.

And the monsters in another dark world finally had time to fight back.

They desperately rushed towards the glowing opening, they must kill the creature that dared to cause such severe damage to them, and do everything possible!

War is always cruel.

When the two fought, the black felt hats fell down one after another, and so did the demon on the opposite side.

Shen Hui originally didn't want them to come, and they would all have the strength to fight until his robot army was completely exhausted.

It was during the spare time of the battle that he heard Quan Feng's words, and suddenly understood why they were willing to come to die.

"This is a human battle. You and your subordinates do not belong to us. You belong to your own world."

The confused eyes made Shen Hui suddenly understand the true thoughts of these people.

We can't keep you, and we won't keep you.

We only hope to help you in the course of the battle, even at the cost of our lives.

What's more, this itself is fighting for ourselves, isn't it?

Long-distance support troops from various countries have also arrived one after another.

When the two worlds collide, there will be places of contact. The country closest to the end of the sky has sent countless soldiers here. Whether it is helicopters or tanks, all kinds of armed forces are fully online at the first time, and even let the world Everyone was a little shocked. It turned out that the country had been hiding so many weapons, but thinking about it, they were actually the same. The weapons they usually displayed were actually a little worse than the actual progress.

That is to hide the clumsiness, and at the same time, I hope that the people will not feel intimidated by the overly powerful weapons.

Wearing the top-notch equipment and weapons, they rushed towards the monsters without hesitation. Blood soon flowed all over the ground, and it was unknown whether it was the monsters or the humans.

Shen Hui continued to stand at the forefront and charge. He hated and even said that he hated seeing human beings die. They shouldn't die!They should live on!

Everyone's life is an extremely wonderful story. He can't empathize with it, but he can fully recognize it.

Every human being is a natural luminous body. After they die, they will turn into a completely gray color, and will never shine again.

This feeling disgusted Shen Hui very much.

The lack of time also prevented him from having the opportunity to create some weapons that were more powerful than the technology of this world.

The battle to drive ducks to the shelves annoyed him.

At the same time, he also thought that if there is a more peaceful world in the future, but there are plenty of resources, he must create a lot of things and put them in the world embryo.

The embryo is growing slowly and is bound to Shen Hui's soul. As Shen Hui becomes stronger and stronger, that world will gradually become stronger and grow into a real world, and the various things he created are also It can be used for reclamation, which is very good.

But those thoughts are for later.

The only thing he can do now is to kill those monsters.

Human beings who simply have preparations, although they are also damaged a lot, are not too friendly compared to the future in which Shen Hui does not appear in this world.

More than half of the people in the black felt hats have died. Although they are more sad than the loss of their companions, they still firmly believe that this battle will definitely end, and that they humans will win.

Combat is far scarier than imagined.

But it doesn't matter.

They were not easy.

Knowing the cruel reality of the future, everything now is acceptable, and they will do their best to fight.

The robots fell one by one.

Originally, Shen Hui thought that he might be able to find a chance to take the damaged robot out to repair and put it on the battlefield again, but the reality did not give him a chance at all. Without him, even with all kinds of tanks and cannons, ordinary human beings would not be able to hide from the pervasive robot. demon.

The black mud that messed up the world is the lowest existence among monsters.

Terrible!

【What the hell is there in this world that doesn't want to protect human beings?What about heaven?What about the law?Looking at humans like this, must they be exterminated by those monsters? 】

【...Then we didn't come from official channels, so there is no way to contact us. 】

【It’s not from official channels, if you can’t contact them, then can’t you contact them by force? 】

[I... I will try my best. 】

The system is also very tragic. At this time, it is hard to say whether there is still the way of heaven and the law. The gray wall of the so-called plane war is itself formed by the way of heaven and the law. They have already broken their defenses, so how can they protect human beings?

Who made this world simply not match the world next door.

[We have enough power now, we can leave this world at any time, right? 】

Shen Hui felt the power in those monsters' bodies, squinted his eyes, and had an idea in his mind.

【Yes. 】The system is sure.

"Then rush over!" After Shen Hui finished saying this, the little robot that had been assisting him immediately carried him and rushed towards the passage facing the wall, under everyone's attention.

Unbelievable, what is he doing?

After all, he still cares about those black felt hats.

Before Shen Hui was about to rush to the Demon Realm, he turned to them and said, "Don't worry about me, just live well."

Then he rushed into the world of monsters without looking back.

The various stones he tossed out in the world of cultivating immortals can absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and even create an existence similar to a charging treasure. Now he can use various stones to absorb the power of the demon world and detonate it Those stones, mmp, don't believe that destroying them from the inside is not enough!

[…Did you fucking forget that you have already told those humans to drop all kinds of hot weapons here at 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, and now it is less than 12 hours before 24 o'clock tomorrow morning, are you sure you can do compression A magic energy that is completely different from spiritual power? 】

[Why can't it be done? 】

Shen Hui does not believe in evil.

Doesn't it mean that his power of chaos is the essence of all power?So is magic energy not a kind of power?

After Shen Hui rushed in, he wrapped his strength around his body immediately, and started to practice at the same time. Even if he couldn't use his own strength to attack, he could still practice.

The devouring power of chaos and the density of its power essence far exceeds that of magic energy.

When Shen Hui sat down to practice cross-legged, countless monsters were attacking him, but it was useless at all. The power of the attack disappeared immediately when it hit him, and the power turned into demon energy and poured into his body Inside, it was swallowed by the power of chaos.

A black vortex visible to the naked eye gradually rose in the sky, and countless demonic energy was rushing in this direction.

The high-density demonic energy was even unbearable to the monsters here, but Shen Hui still sat where he was.

The essence of power is different, and the devilish energy that looks particularly terrifying to others is nothing to Shen Hui.

In a word, eat and be done.

Originally, he wanted to transform and compress those powers into stones through his body, and create a little magic bomb.As a result, he couldn't even absorb enough. When the power of chaos saw the demonic energy pouring into his body, he was like a wolf that had been starving for days. Seeing a piece of fat, he opened his mouth and began to swallow it crazily.

But he couldn't eat enough all the time, so that the black vortex above his head was getting bigger and bigger. Before 12 o'clock the next day, the whole demon world even looked a little brighter, which means that the black magic energy here is less A lot, and the density drops drastically.

The monster who had been attacking for a day without any eggs looked at this picture in horror.

How strong should Shen Hui be after absorbing so much power?

Fear, suspicion and fear filled his heart in an instant.

But it didn't work.

Shen Hui doesn't know how to use it.

After he opened his eyes, he looked at the monsters of various classes that surrounded his body, just like a mouse seeing a cat, it ran away and disappeared in an instant.

Shen Hui scratched his head, a little troubled, should he fight now or not?

At that time, there were still a few minutes before the release of Rewu.

If you don't take advantage of this time to escape, you will not only have to resist the power from the demon, but also resist the power of Rewu.

[If you think so much about what to do, just run! 】

[Our original goal was not this world! 】The system shouted excitedly.

If Shen Hui was hit by the Yuan Zi bomb, and got angry, he might directly destroy the two planes that are at war, and it would be over if he ran away. He must not be allowed to stay here!

The system took him away neatly, and if he continued to stay in this world, no one knew what terrible things would happen.

On the other side before, the black felt hat standing on the edge of the end of the human world watched Shen Hui rush towards the passage.

Then, it was discovered almost at a speed visible to the naked eye that fewer monsters stepped into this world.

His lips trembled a little, "What...how?"

Quan Feng was also terrified, but he withstood the pressure in his heart and sternly reprimanded him, "My lord is willing to sacrifice himself to kill demons by himself, so what right do we have to fear them! It's just a group of lords! It’s just a plaything, it can be easily dealt with by the adults, and we who are determined to follow the adults should not be afraid, let alone be afraid, follow me!”

When the power of Rewu and human beings gradually became stronger and the monsters in this world were eliminated, the war gradually slowed down, because those monsters suddenly discovered that the new world had no power at all, and it was completely in the end of the age. Human beings who don't have it have frequently researched all kinds of powerful weapons, almost blowing up their lair.

When I looked back, I found that the concentration of power in their old lair had dropped significantly. I was so angry that I wanted to jump, but I thought about the human beings staring at them with various weapons in that bright world. I don't dare to show my head anymore...

fuck.

What kind of human tragedy did they go through?

───Monster

Some things that they regard as food are extremely powerful, and if they disagree with each other, they will kill them. If you dare to hurt our god, I will let you die without a place to bury you. Ordinary people without power People also want to destroy their world and blow up their stronghold.

What's the point of living?

───Monster

However, after the war gradually slowed down, Quan Feng and Yu and the others conducted another sacrifice.

It is the last sacrifice before the power of the former is about to be exhausted.

But it was precisely because this sacrifice proved that Shen Hui was still alive. Although he didn't know where he was, it was enough to be alive.

After Quan Feng and Yi, who took over his sacrificial position, finished the handover, he held a wooden statue of Shen Hui carved by himself in his hand, worshiped devoutly, and prayed
