The Origin of Arcane

The other is to deliberately create a difference between reality and the second world.

After all, there is still a distinction between the two.

The real world is the basis for the existence of the second world. If the real world ceases to exist, the second world will naturally cease to exist.

The meaning of the existence of the second world is to better build and develop the real world, and at the same time serve as a buffer battlefield between reality and the shadow plane.

Rather than a safe haven for escapism.

In many places in the Second World, what Sean created looks like a game, but it is actually much more cruel than a game.

The real world now has the second world as a buffer, and death does not necessarily mean death.

If you die in the second world, then you really die completely.

As the war with the shadow plane continues to escalate, the enemies they face become more and more powerful, and the security rules of the second world are no longer absolute security.

Not to mention the shadow mistresses, even some shadow monsters who have touched the law level may directly wipe out the heroic warriors before the second world security law takes effect.

The escalating war with the shadow plane is mainly caused by two aspects.

One is that the energy transmitted from the Abigail plane to the Arshan plane is not pure. This place has been eroded by shadow energy for many years. Even the goddess Abigail cannot completely purify and separate it. Coerced over.

Moreover, it is difficult to achieve a complete connection between the two planes in the true sense.

Energy that leaves the plane of Abigail and enters the plane of Arshan must flow through the Plane of Shadow.

No matter how short the distance is, it must flow through.

This is determined by the relationship between planes.

Countless shadow creatures are surrounding the plane of Arshan, and there is no way to get in!

Now suddenly a direct internal energy flow appeared in front of them. For them, this was no longer a window, but a fast lane, inviting them to enter the Arshan plane as guests.

Even if this fast lane is full of unknown dangers, if you are not careful, some weak shadow monsters will be completely torn apart by the energy flow and become a member of the energy flow.

Those shadow monsters still drilled in with a single brain.

If they had the ability to judge the situation, they would not be shadow monsters.

It has been said before.

The Arshan World Tree has a very strong ability to fuse and absorb negative energy, but it is not as good in terms of digestion ability.

After those negative energies are absorbed, they are all stored in your body.

In a short period of time, a small amount of negative energy will not have a particularly large impact on it. Over time, problems will definitely occur.

In this regard, Sean has already accumulated enough combat experience in the Abigail plane.

Building a second world on the Arshan World Tree is not a matter of unilateral demand, but mutual benefit.

The soldiers of the heroic spirits of the second world are scraping bones and healing wounds for the Arshan World Tree every day, removing the cancerous energy from the shadow plane and hell plane.

Another channel for the power of the Shadow Plane to invade the Arshann Plane is the Shadow Mistress Hull, whom Xiao En and the others have been dealing with all the time.

Sean joined hands with Goddess Abigail to seal the space crack planned by it, and cut off the arm that the demons just tried to reach in.

The shadow mistress Hull clearly sensed that the situation was extremely unfavorable to her.

I have been completely exposed to the eyes of Goddess Sean and Abigail, and they will definitely try to get rid of themselves to avoid future troubles.

He chose to make himself strong, the seesaw that was able to invade the Arshan plane before other shadow mistresses, and now it has become his biggest shackle, and he can't escape even if he wants to let go.

The only thing the shadow mistress Hel can do is to speed up the erosion of the Arshann plane.

The shadow mistress Hull had to give up her selfish idea of ​​monopolizing the Arshan plane, and opened the floating city, a shortcut channel to the Arshan plane, to other shadow mistresses.

Now there is no longer one shadow mistress occupying Brisan Floating Void City, but five.

This made Sean and the others have to press the pause button in their revenge plan to eliminate future troubles.

A Matriarch of Shadows.

With their full preparations and the assistance of Goddess Abigail, they still have an over 80% chance of winning.

Even if there is an out-of-control situation, it will be within the range they can bear.

Five shadow mistresses gathered together.

It is far beyond the scope of Xiao En's ability. There are too many uncontrollable factors in it, and if you are a little careless, you will get out of it.

At that time, instead of closing the door and beating dogs, it will lead wolves into the house, and once released, they will form a group.

The leader of the Yongye army has studied carefully for many years, and prepared to use the traction magic circle to draw the floating city into the plane of Arshan. They reversed it and transformed it into a plane-strengthening magic circle, which is specially used to lock the floating city of Brisan and seal it. The space around it tried to prevent the shadow mistresses from extending their tentacles into the Arshan plane as much as possible.

However, the combined power of five shadow mistresses cannot be matched by one shadow mistress.

Nightmare invasion.

It is no longer a secret.

It is a series of events across the continent, and even the whole world.

In this series of events, the intractability of the shadows is vividly displayed.

Those twisted nightmares that were sent to the plane of Arshan by the shadow mistress, no matter how strong or weak they were, all showed a strong stealthiness.

Sleeping day and night, in the dreams of countless creatures, entering and exiting freely.

With their intervention, even a dream can turn into a nightmare.

Not to mention, those dreams that are nightmares in themselves have become a paradise for these twisted nightmares.

Those nightmares tend to become weirder and more vivid. Even if the intelligent life is awake, those weird nightmares and dreams will not be forgotten, lingering in their minds, and even overlapping with reality.

Until they were tortured madly, unable to distinguish the difference between reality and nightmares, they became toys and puppets in the hands of twisted nightmares.

That's what twisted nightmares do best.

Not to mention that in the early days, it is difficult for ordinary people to find them. Even if they are found, they are often helpless against such invisible enemies and just wait to die.

If it is discovered late, there will often be a situation where a manor, or even a village, is forcibly manipulated by a twisted nightmare and played with into a ghost.

No matter how weak the twisted nightmare sent in by the shadow mistress was, after absorbing so much negative energy and distorting so many souls, the strength usually becomes very powerful, and the twisted servants are in groups, which is very difficult to deal with.

The solution that various forces can think of is to gather professionals in the territory and set up a special department to be responsible for such related affairs.

The real difficulty in dealing with such enemies is how to find them and identify ordinary people whose souls have been manipulated by them.

Overall, the Nightmare Invasion was a disastrous invasion time.

However, the development of religious belief in the Ashan continent has played an unexpected role in promoting, especially the leader of Yongye.

Compared with those without faith, when the souls of people with faith are manipulated and invaded, they will be transmitted to the existence they believe in through the thread of faith as soon as possible.

According to their situation, Sean can respond immediately, or strengthen their soul protection through the soul thread, or notify the relevant departments, and send professionals to help them deal with these things that they cannot solve.

When belief is no longer illusory, but substantive, visible, tangible, and closely related to their lives, the speed of belief spread will be further accelerated.

This also means that the enemy of the Holy See of Ether has become more and more difficult to deal with.

Just as Xiao En predicted at the beginning, the war mode of the Arshan continent has changed unconsciously.

It is no longer just a matter of territory and resources, but the battle of faith has become the top priority.

Even if a piece of land is forcibly occupied by force, the people on this land are all devout believers of the other party, and they are full of huge and unforgettable hatred for the invaders.

No matter how arrogant the commander is, he has no face to say that he has conquered this land. On the contrary, what they need to be careful of is the ubiquitous suicide terrorist attacks.

If it is one's own belief, unconsciously, it has already occupied a dominant position among the citizens of this territory. Even if this territory is still under the control of the enemy, it will be a matter of time before this becomes one's own territory.

In the five years since the catastrophe, although the leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Holy See Empire have never had a direct confrontation, the battle of faith between the two sides has already begun vigorously.

The purpose of the battle between the two sides is naturally to compete for believers, and they use disaster and hunger.

In this battle of faith.

The Eternal Night Army Leader is the one that takes the initiative to attack, and the Holy See Empire spends most of its time on passive defense.

The three major disaster relief policies of the Yongye Army were indeed only open to the citizens of the Yongye Army in the early days.

But at the end of the period, when the battle of faith between the two sides is fierce, it is no longer limited to the leader of the Eternal Night Army. At the same time, it is also open to the people who cannot survive the Holy See Empire. There is only one premise, that is, to cut off the line of faith with the Holy See. .

The thread of faith is both strong and fragile.

Toughness refers to the fact that in the face of external forces, even Sean, who has stepped into the realm of God, can easily kill followers of the Holy See, but there is no way to cut the line of faith between him and his object of worship.

Because it's a belief, a soul connection, that doesn't exist physically.

Vulnerability means that when facing oneself, believers can cut off the thread of their belief in a single thought. It is easier to cooperate with the corresponding blasphemy ceremony, but if they want to re-establish it, it is basically a This is an impossible thing, at least it is impossible for ordinary believers to rely on their own abilities, because it involves things at the level of laws.

As for those followers of the Holy See who were displaced and forced to accept the policy of diverting victims from the Yongye Army, even if the Yongye Army hadn't made this request, most of their lines of faith would have been broken long ago.

This is the sequelae of Pope St. George's rapid recruitment of believers with his holy miracles.

These believers joined the ranks of believers because of the miracles shown by Pope St. George and various good promises.

This belief itself is full of utilitarianism.

They joined the Holy See in exchange for the better life they wanted.

When the Holy See was unable to fulfill its promise, these beliefs collapsed as quickly as they came.

Managing a parish and governing a territory are two completely different concepts.

To manage the parish, you only need to pay attention to the spiritual needs of the people, and the material needs are only used to serve the former.

The material needs of governing the territory will be greatly improved, especially in the year of catastrophe, the requirements for management will be greatly improved.

Because the ability of ordinary people and ordinary families to resist disasters is too poor, they must rely on the strength of the group to survive the most difficult time.

This is definitely a big challenge in territorial governance.

For many well-managed territories, it is difficult to say whether they can survive this kind of shock.

Not to mention, the transition of power has not yet been completed, and the Holy See has chaotic internal management.

The Holy See pinned the hope of maintaining local law and order and leading the people through the disaster on the local lords who entrusted them with important tasks.

The local lords and nobles shifted the responsibility to the Holy See, thinking that it was the responsibility of the entire Holy See, because they had already paid the taxes they needed to pay to the Holy See.

Even some responsible local lords and nobles are unable to manage it if they want to.

Because they are also in a state of sitting and eating, they don't have so many supplies to allocate to those ordinary citizens. To continue their lives, they can only delay the arrival of desperation.

If it is a disaster that comes and goes, hold on, maybe you will get through it.

But this kind of catastrophe that has lasted for several years and there is no hope at all, often they themselves will be dragged into a desperate situation.

I am afraid of comparing anything.

Under the comparison of the Holy See, the performance of the ruling class of the Yongye Army in the face of this catastrophe can be regarded as qualified. .

But in such a time, it is already a very lucky thing to barely make a fool of filling one's stomach and continue to live.

However, in the battle of faith, the real weapon of the leader of Yongye to gain the upper hand is the second world and the soul stone.

The Eternal Night Commander may not be so powerful. In the disaster year, even the victims of the Holy See were rescued, but they can save their souls, bring their souls secretly to the second world, and give them the second world. second chance.

Of course, all of this was done in secret. Many victims of the Holy See Empire did not know about their souls before they entered the Second World.

How could Pope St. George and the phantom angel behind him allow the Eternal Night Army to steal their souls from them?

For this reason, the Holy See adapted and expanded the Sword of the Holy Ether, and renamed it the Inquisition. The main responsibility is to arrest the soul stealer from the leader of the Eternal Night Army.

This secret war is also known as the five-year soul battle.
