#239 - Section 239
Roger gently helped Angelina onto the bed, covered her with a blanket, and looked at her sweet sleeping face, whispering:
"You are the real hero who has been protecting those ordinary people, I am just a clever porter."
Roger knew very well that he could accomplish many things because of the system's help, the era's dividends, the advantages of being a transmigrator, and a lot of luck.
If he hadn't stood up, Angelina would have used every means to maintain the living standards of ordinary people in the empire, which was truly admirable kindness and wisdom.
The best at war have no outstanding achievements. When people mention the empire, they always talk about the unparalleled bravery of the Eternal Night Empress.
But few remember that it was Angelina who managed the logistics, allowing the Eternal Night Empress to gallop肆无忌惮 on the battlefield.
So, if he did more, would his sister be more relaxed?
Thinking like this, he felt that what he was doing was indeed meaningful.
"So, I have also been changed by this world... Is it really chasing what I want, or is it that I can't give up the sunk cost?"
Roger smiled self-deprecatingly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.
He liked his current life and the career he was currently engaged in.
Even if he was a small character, he could choose his own life, and if he didn't take longevity as the only goal...
What if he fought with the gods?
......
......
In the void, Conqueror's Canyon.
Nine golden dragons pulled a majestic chariot soaring in the sky, and Tybera lazily reclined on the chariot's wide seat, smiling as she watched countless burly men fighting passionately below.
Because the God of Hope worked so hard, the Four Gods Alliance had recently achieved good results, successively occupying multiple planes.
According to the instructions of the God of Knowledge, some were turned into farms for supplying faith, and some were kneaded into void planes.
As one of the main forces in the battle, Tybera also gained a lot of power of faith.
War losses of believers, capturing new powerhouses, would all become prayer soldiers and holy spirits in the kingdom of God.
The number of fighting burly men was increasing, and the area of the kingdom of God was also expanding by 30% under their bloody battles.
With such a smooth career, Tybera was of course happy.
"Good! The task of investigating the Green Vine Empire is suddenly completed!"
Suddenly, the little bitch sensed that another sum of faith power had arrived in the void, and couldn't help but reveal an incomparably gratified smile.
Nalinael felt that the Green Vine Empire was suspicious, so she arranged for other gods to take the blame, and finally the Goddess of War and the Sea God jointly took on the task of investigating the Eternal Night World.
The Goddess of War didn't spend too much thought, arranging for Tasika to meet Nicole, believing that with their piety, there would be a good result.
As a result, they really completed the task themselves, satisfying Nalinael's long list!
"Well, the orcs fought a battle with the Green Vine, and the Green Vine supported the ocean, and had a fight with the Naga... Although they lost the war, they also obtained the information that satisfied that vampire angel!"
Tybera couldn't help but reveal a complacent smile when she saw the process of completing the task, "It seems that my believers are more capable, and they easily did what those Naga couldn't do!"
Gaining a large sum of faith power for nothing, Tybera was very satisfied with Tasika's performance.
She raised her hand and extracted 1% from Nalinael's reward, returning it to her War God Temple in the Terra Kingdom as a reward.
In the future, all professionals who prayed in the War God Temple and received blessings would gain a "Military Weapon Mastery" specialty.
The level of proficiency also varied according to the amount of contribution.
This was based on divine power, directly instilling the combat experience of these burly men in Conqueror's Canyon, with the highest level of proficiency reaching the legendary level.
It could be said to be quite practical.
The Sea God also had rewards for Nicole.
As the rewards descended, the status of the two saintesses became more stable.
Correspondingly, after receiving the information, Nalinael turned her gaze to the Eternal Night World again.
Chapter 215 Another Year of the Empress Award Ceremony
To be honest, Nalinael was a little disappointed.
She originally wanted to fool a god into sending a projection or incarnation to test whether the Green Vine Empire was really an iron plate.
After all, when her projection went down, she originally wanted to receive the benefits of the bet.
As a result, she didn't even know what happened, and the projection disappeared without a trace. Nalinael still felt very uneasy.
Although she could afford that little faith power with financial means, the vampire angel still cared about the loss without any feedback, okay?
As a result, the Sea God and the Goddess of War took on the task, and their believers were too capable. They completed the harsh conditions she deliberately set without the two gods personally taking action.
But being able to gain information was still a great help to her judgment.
After all, this information was jointly compiled by Nicole and Tasika, and everything was true when it was sent out.
It's just that because the empire's development was changing with each passing day, Nalinael used it to judge the strength of the Green Vine Empire. When it really descended, there would definitely be many wonderful deviations.
It was precisely because it was real enough that even someone as smart as Nalinael didn't see any problems from the information itself.
Determining that the investigation task was completed, she distributed all the rewards.
This was originally Roger's arrangement.
Nicole's new analysis of Nalinael made Roger interested in conducting a small test.
This test was of course risky, but compared to the ending of this world being destined to be destroyed by the Seven Gods, the risk was completely within an acceptable range.
This was why Nalinael received detailed information of perfect quality.
Although Nicole was kicked out of the anti-Green Vine Alliance, she also became an important undercover agent for the empire's layout in the Eternal Night World, so she could talk to Tasika again.
Because Tasika pulled her into the Charles' fan group.
Before, the two believed in different gods. Even if they were good besties with compatible personalities, there was a huge gap due to their identities.
But now, everyone was a running dog under Lord Charles.
As long as you also like giegie, we are best sisters for life!
The relationship instantly narrowed to an intimate level.
As the naval battle ended, the empire also participated in the war, which was a suitable opportunity to complete the empire's intelligence gathering task.
So Roger gave them the information they needed and checked all the boxes on that long task list.
The information was very huge, and Nalinael watched it for a full... five seconds.
Don't doubt the information processing capabilities of a six-winged angel.
She was the Time Shepherd, the chief executive who managed the revenue of faith power in countless worlds for the God of Knowledge, and had to deal with and decide on more affairs than an ordinary king in a lifetime.
With constant training, plus the abilities bestowed by the God of Knowledge, she naturally had super information processing capabilities.
"There are really interesting changes happening..."
Nalinael revealed a thoughtful look after reading the Green Vine Empire's information.
Corresponding to the efficient information processing ability was the calculation ability. Seeing this information, she could simulate many "futures of the empire".
This was a transformation that had never appeared in the entire multiverse, a rapid transformation evolved spontaneously by those mortals.
Under the intervention of the gods, the power of professionals and bloodlines was shrouded, and the strong in this world with magic were always strong, and the world had been evolving at an extremely slow speed.
The relationship between the bottom and the top was almost constant, and the aristocratic game was maintained persistently.
But now, the power of the Green Vine Empire was in the hands of the Eternal Night Empress alone, the aristocratic game had become centralized, and the resources and technology of the entire country began to flow rapidly, and a completely new picture that Nalinael had never seen appeared.
Without needing to become a professional, even ordinary people without any talent, only needed to learn to drive magic crystal machinery, they could control the huge power that ordinary professionals could hardly have, and change, manipulate, and even greatly destroy the surrounding environment.
In the Green Vine Empire, this was called Neo-Arcana, which was powered by external magic crystals, and everyone could be regarded as craftsmen, spellcasters, and soldiers.
It seemed that it was just the decentralization of power, and professionals could gain more benefits in this process.
For example, more easily obtained magic equipment, alchemy props, and potions to assist the growth of strength, the personal combat power was greatly improved compared to ordinary people.
But Nalinael found through deduction that in the end, the benefits of professionals were not as good as ordinary people.
Because the order of magnitude was completely different.
Talent was a bloodline mutation that could not be stably inherited. Even the children of two strong people might not have the talent to become strong.
So the number of powerful professionals in the universe was definitely increasing with the accumulation of time, but because of consumption such as battles and adventures, the overall number did not fluctuate too much.
But the magic crystal machinery that the Green Vine Empire was producing was a stable, mass-produced method that could be copied as long as there were resources, allowing ordinary people to have the destructive power of professionals.
The newly emerging Neo-Arcana had not yet reached the height of magical civilization.
But as time went on, this technology had the potential to change the existing pattern of this universe.
To some extent, this would be a more meaningful transformation than killing gods ten thousand times.
Even if all the existing gods were killed, it would only be a reshuffle, and new powerhouses would soon ignite the divine fire and embark on the old path again.
Just like what the Seven Gods had done, the gods they killed were far more than mortals.
But Neo-Arcana was something that would change the multiverse, and mortals who were once like ants also had the possibility of sitting at the gambling table.
Nalinael seemed to see a magnificent picture, a spark of fire becoming a prairie fire, gradually sweeping the entire universe, bringing new changes to this universe.
But she could also see the possibility of this flame being extinguished.
Even if mortals grasped the possibility of the future, the Seven Gods were already carrying out a plane purge and had too strong first-mover advantages.
As long as Nalinael reported her deductions to the God of Knowledge, this fire would be easily extinguished.
The Seven Gods' camp was determined to exterminate the Green Vine Empire, and no matter where they escaped in the universe, they would be hunted to death.
No, there was no need to hunt them to death, as long as this fire didn't have enough fuel - ordinary people, it would be impossible to burn the Seven Gods.
"Little Ao, you really know how to surprise me, but this surprise came too late... There's not much I can do for you."
Nalinael sighed helplessly.
She extracted the memories of the information she obtained and the related deductions, and then pushed them to Universe No. 25.
This way, she would forget this information, and even if the God of Knowledge asked, she would be ignorant.
And this flame that could ignite hope would bring immeasurable changes to Universe No. 25.
Just as Nicole said, Nalinael was not a pure believer.
In the long process of shepherding, she had too much contact with mortals, understood their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, experienced their emotions, and sympathized with their encounters...
In other words, Nalinael had fallen, and no longer regarded executing God's orders as her only and lofty pursuit.
But as the most perfect and most beloved creation of the God of Knowledge, there was no possibility for her to get rid of the God of Knowledge.
As long as she took that step, the God of Knowledge would sense it and then completely destroy her.
These little actions of hers were all secretly completed with the idea of "possessing stronger strength to assist my Lord".
As long as it harmed the interests of other gods, rather than the interests of the God of Knowledge himself, it was tacitly allowed.
Nalinael liked this universe, and had no pursuit for the scenery outside the universe, or for the so-called "truth".
She felt that the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of those mortals were real enough. As long as they themselves agreed that this was someone's crazy delusion or virtual world, then what?
Enjoy the joys and sorrows in it, have your own life, and create your own value, so why live so tired?
So sometimes, she envied the recklessness of the God of Hope.
She would pit him until his kingdom of God was torn down, not without deliberate revenge under jealousy.
At this moment, she also had some guesses about her projection that was lost in the Green Vine Empire, but she didn't think about it.
If that projection still existed, possessing Xiatidi's body, she would have more possibilities than her, right?
If possible, she hoped that she could taste the taste of freedom in her place...
In the void, the Time Shepherd, who held the power of life and death of countless planes, ended her thoughts of ups and downs.
A huge ball of light lit up in her palm, this was the power closest to the source in the world:
The power of faith was constantly generated from countless worlds.
Her harvest from shepherding was her devotion to the God of Knowledge.
