Struggle in the Steam Age

Communication with these priests allowed them to obtain a lot of important information, the most important of which is that after the ceremony, the power of the Goddess of Agriculture accurately identified the source of these powers: a person who has fallen for nearly six centuries , and worships the evil god whose sect has basically been wiped out

"These powers come from the Zerg Prince Obox Obo, but the specifics are unknown." Lawrence read the materials of the Church of Agriculture. "Because this evil god has been active in the bottomless abyss before, so after his fall, his kingdom of God in the bottomless abyss is also missing. It is inferred that it was taken over by other demons."

"Owned by other demons?" Hearing this, Nora asked in a puzzled manner. "It means that his kingdom of God has been staying in the bottomless abyss before. If so, how did this evil god be wiped out, and his kingdom of God can be preserved."

"Because the one who killed him was also an existence from the bottomless abyss, so he can naturally obtain his kingdom of God as his spoils of war." Lawrence explained after flipping through two pages of information. "Evil gods who are eliminated may not all be righteous gods. To be precise, there are more evil gods who died at the hands of the same kind than those who were wiped out by righteous gods."

In this world, the path chosen by a god will basically not change. So right is right, and evil is evil. There is no such thing as the kind of god that Lawrence has read in many novels in his previous life, who can disguise himself as a righteous god for a long time but do evil things in private.

Even if some gods had some hypocritical or hidden ideas before they became gods, but once they became gods, they refused to take off the disguise and still told the believers according to the original announced settings. Then He will slowly be assimilated by the thoughts of believers over a long period of time.

This is the truth of the so-called poison of faith. In the early days, this problem caused the fall or collapse of many gods. It also caused almost all civilizations to experience in the early days that the gods became crazy because of the poison of belief, and then led to the occurrence of divine disasters. These events often caused extremely serious harm to the early civilized races, and even some The unlucky civilized race completely disappeared from the world because of this injury.

Fortunately, with the advancement of civilization, the gods gradually came up with ways to use the power of faith while avoiding the poison of faith. In this case, the number of gods going crazy was greatly reduced. But even so, the god will still be influenced by his followers, but different gods are affected to different degrees.

Even so, for the gods, there should not be too much difference between the power of faith and the actual situation of their bodies. Otherwise, the gods will either completely lose themselves in the confrontation and become part of the rules. Either it will still cause serious conflicts and become a mad god, or die unexpectedly.

So, in this world, the righteous gods are absolutely upholding the righteous way in morality as they advertise. Therefore, they can trust each other and cooperate to form a more united organization to gather their strength into one, and then, through this powerful strength, they can become the mainstream of the world.

And although those evil gods are stronger than the righteous gods on average, their evil and extremely self-interested characters make them unable to cooperate like the righteous gods. Even if they can collude for a short period of time for the benefit, such temporary interest groups often cannot last long, and will soon be completely split due to uneven distribution of spoils and internal strife.

It is very normal for evil gods to wantonly attack their own kind for profit, so that most of the enemies they need to face are evil gods of their own kind rather than righteous gods. So it is very normal for the unlucky Zerg prince Obox Obo to be killed by his kind.

But in this way, the biggest problem is that after the death of this evil god known as the prince of Zerg, everything related to him will be out of monitoring. Even if the power of the gods is still powerless in the face of the bottomless abyss, it is naturally impossible to figure out how the evil god's many powers and backhands are arranged after his fall.

Therefore, after the Goddess of Agriculture determined that the weird pest plague on the local cotton fields was related to Oberx Ober, she notified other churches of the gods soon. Just when Lawrence took Nora on a horse and was about to go to the scene to investigate the situation, he happened to see a carriage with the logo of the Church of the Mother Earth on the road leading to the city heading towards the manor. Behind the carriage followed a group of heavily armored paladins riding on the backs of bulls.

Obviously, as the mother of the Goddess of Agriculture, the Mother Earth has a very good relationship with her daughter, so her church naturally has a very good relationship with the Church of Agriculture. So after receiving the request from the Church of Agriculture, the Church of the Mother Earth immediately sent an elite team to support

But this has nothing to do with Lawrence for the time being. At this time, he has brought Nora to the Kama River, the main water source on the plain, and found a flat place to take out a lot of experimental materials from the space bag. After all, if both plants and insects are polluted by evil gods, Lawrence will naturally suspect that there may be problems with the water source used to irrigate this land.

So when Lawrence was setting up the temporary testing site, Nora took a lot of containers and started flying around to collect samples for the next inspection. At Lawrence's request, she took samples of cotton plants, pests, soil samples from multiple locations, and water samples from different parts of the river.

About half an hour later, a small laboratory in a tent was set up under the busyness of Lawrence. Just when Lawrence finished all the preparations and was about to take a break, Nora opened the curtain and flew in with a lot of bottles and jars collected from the samples.

"Thanks for your hard work." Seeing the little dolls flying in with a lot of bottles and cans, Lawrence nodded slightly in greeting to Nora, then put the samples on the table and began to take samples separately. There are probably hundreds of samples in this pile, and it may take a long time for Lawrence to solve them.

Considering the problem of lack of manpower, he summoned the book charm who had been busy in the astral plane before, and at the same time summoned several monster phantoms with hands and a large group of paper figurines to help him complete these tasks. Of course, Nora's work is also very important, because only her pure power of faith can amplify the residual power of the evil god on these samples and make accurate judgments. And this precise judgment is very important for the next step.

"The situation is a bit abnormal." When it started to get dark, Lawrence finally finished the analysis of thousands of samples. In addition to the samples that Nora brought at the beginning, he also had the dolls take samples from some designated places several times during the test to obtain more samples.

"What's abnormal?" Nora, who was carrying a beaker, looked at Lawrence, who was looking at it with a notebook, and asked curiously, "These samples all have the supernatural reaction of the evil god, which can prove that they are indeed contaminated. And according to these data, We can see that the closer to the river the pollution is worse, which means that the pollution is likely to come from the river water."

"What you said is partly true, but the problem is that although the divine power gradually decays as you get farther away from those irrigation channels, the degree of decay is obviously not normal." Lawrence said and handed the form to Na Pull to see. "You see, if this pollution comes entirely from the river water, then the sum of all the divine power scattered on the land and the land should be approximately equal to the divine power poured into the water source in this area, but this is not the case here."
