Chapter 384 Bad News and "Good News"
"It's Lady Anastasia helping us!"
Upon seeing the images transmitted from the front lines, Deborah showed no fear of the distorted deity. Instead, she pointed directly at the vines entwined around the still deity and said, "It must be Lady Anastasia and her colleagues in the Tower fighting against the pollution deep within their sea of consciousness!"
"Deborah, calm down! There are more important issues right now."
Saint Seraphim of the Lantern Dream shook her head; the researchers in these towers were indeed being a bit too excited.
As Seraphim said, there are now more important questions. Lind asked Lucanos beside him, "Has the descending deity taken samples? What is the situation of the frontline troops?"
"The samples are already on their way back. Many frontline troops have been affected and have developed mental abnormalities. Fortunately, the situation is still under control, and the clergy of the Lantern Dream are already healing these soldiers."
Besides Lind and a group of people researching the Sea of Consciousness, the Grey Robe was also present at the scene.
After all, he was a high-level spellcaster and possessed knowledge of another continent, so Linde wanted to see if the grey-robed man could be of any help.
But when the grey-robed man learned what was happening at the front, his brain had already shut down.
The gray-robed man couldn't understand anything the people around him were saying about the ocean of consciousness, but he did understand the news that a true god had seemingly descended from the front lines.
A true god? Descending? The gray-robed man's first instinct was to flee back to the continent of Solon with Rosalind.
Instead of running away, this group of madmen sat together and scraped some samples from the true god for research.
To be honest, just seeing that huge and distorted deity through the images made the gray-robed man feel his spirit being washed away by something. Didn't these people feel anything at all?
Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?
Linde didn't notice the fear in the gray-robed man's eyes, but nodded and ordered, "These affected soldiers should not go to the front lines for now. Before we figure out what this thing that has descended is, try to keep the soldiers who can connect to the public dream and are unaffected stationed there."
Then, Lind asked Deborah, "So what exactly is going on? Does the Tower have any guesses?"
Deborah sat up straight and said, "My lady, as we discussed before, Lady Anastasia and our Tower colleagues sealed off the Tower, entered the bio-pod, and sank into the sea of consciousness to cleanse themselves of the contamination."
"This deity, which resembles the God of War in appearance, should be a projection of the God of War. We have recently observed that the barrier deep within the sea of consciousness is gradually thinning. It is very likely that the God of War, who has been corrupted, created a projection through the rituals of his followers and descended into the real world, intending to use this projection to draw more power."
"The true god of war should still be deep in the sea of consciousness, and the current situation of the projection of the god of war is a reflection of the situation of the true god of war in the sea of consciousness. Those vines are undoubtedly the power of Lady Anastasia."
Linde understood somewhat: "So, the people in the tower are still in the sea of consciousness preventing the God of War from being corrupted?"
“That’s right, my lady. We have successfully put into practice the bio-pod manufacturing method that you learned from the goddess. It can enter the sea of consciousness at any time to help Lady Anastasia. Now is the time to use it!”
Previously, Linde had obtained the construction method for the same bio-pod as the Tower through the 550C, but it was more like a "bio-pool" than a bio-pod.
After all, the current technological approach is different from that of the post-Golden Age, so it is impossible to make it exactly the same. Fortunately, the core of the bio-pod is the liquid that soaks the human body, so Deborah, who was eager to achieve quick results, simply replicated the liquid and poured it into a specially made pool. As long as one steps into the pool and enters a sleep state, one can connect to the deep sea of consciousness.
Of course, this technology is still very immature. There is neither a large amount of experimental support nor the ability to conduct experiments. After all, going to the deep ocean of consciousness is a war with no return.
But it was clear that Deborah couldn't care less about that now. According to intelligence from the front lines, the God of War was gradually breaking free from the vines that had appeared out of nowhere.
Just then, Lucanos suddenly paused, as if receiving a message. Then, Lucanos said to everyone, "Bad news, the God of War has resumed his actions."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lucanos shrugged and said, "Don't be so sad, there's some good news. That giant war god is moving towards Anjou, and our opponent is probably going to self-destruct."
"Lucanus..."
Lind shook his head: "It's not funny."
"Okay, I just wanted to lighten the mood."
Lucanus shrugged.
......
"It's my fault."
Alberto covered his face, his expression constantly showing pain.
“I knew perfectly well that something was wrong with the Church of War, but I was trapped by the situation and continued to let the Church of War operate on the front lines, even allowing its followers to gather together and act.”
"Your Majesty, this is not your fault."
At this moment, the master and servant were in the study, learning about the latest developments at the front through the mental network. Because the God of War had a huge impact on the mental network, Alberto was somewhat delayed in receiving the news.
Cassius comforted him, saying, "It's all my fault. My skill level is too low; I didn't notice that these followers of the Church of War were using the mental network I created for communication and rituals. Besides, Your Majesty, you sent the Church of War to the front lines to quickly deplete their strength."
"No one expected that the Church of the God of War would directly summon a twisted deity."
Alberto looked at his friend, who had been with him from childhood to the bloody coup and now, and said nothing more. The governor of the North was right; he had been too greedy, always wanting this and that. Since he had sensed something was wrong with the Church of War, yet still wanted to let the Church of War lead the charge, then this outcome was already predetermined.
Alberto's ambitions have become so vast that they are becoming increasingly difficult to control.
After taking all the blame upon himself, Cassius said, "Fortunately, that twisted god can no longer act, and Capet has no intention of taking any further steps, otherwise the situation at the front would be dangerous."
"The situation is now very dangerous; the front lines have been completely devastated by this incident."
Alberto retorted.
"And who exactly stopped that twisted god's actions? Was it the governor of Capet?"
If it really was that governor who did it, it basically proves that Capet possesses power beyond that of a god, so what's the point of fighting?
"No, it can't be the other party."
Cassius said, "If it really is the other side, they wouldn't be completely inactive right now."
Before Cassius could continue speaking, a sudden surge of information turbulence appeared in the mental network that had just been repaired.
"what happened?"
Seeing Cassius's stunned expression, Alberto knew there was more news.
"His Majesty..."
Cassius said with some despair, "That war god has broken free of his restraints and is moving towards Anjou."
