Chapter 612 Eight Warlords Attack the God of the Mortal World
Chapter 612 The Eighteen Lords Punish the God of the Mortal World
Robert and the others left, but Bai Ze's operation was not over yet.
The winged dragonmen crossed the boundary and stormed into the base below to purge the remaining enemy personnel.
Organized troops marched toward Columbia City, aiming to seize the heart of the Western Union's First District.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, folded his dragon wings, and his massive body slowly transformed, returning to human form once more.
Clad in dark red armor and sporting Hoddle's face, he landed where Rhine and the others had been, looking at the Nine Gods who were still standing there.
The two looked at each other, and Quetzalcoatl suddenly clapped his hands lightly and said, "The God of War of Dongxia has been confronting Neos for more than 20 years without letting him suffer any losses. I didn't expect you to do it."
"Isn't the betrayal that's unseen the most terrifying?"
Bai Ze smiled slightly, his expression calm as still water, and said, "He was too confident, believing that the offspring he chose were absolutely loyal. But in reality, we are all just clones of him."
Bai Ze knew what the Feathered Serpent God wanted to test.
This leader of the psychic machines has broken through the invisible barriers of mechanical intelligence and possesses human thought.
Even though all the data told him that this was Hoddle's long-suppressed betrayal, Quetzalcoatl still suspected that there were other people behind Hoddle's betrayal.
The talk of the standoff between the God of War and Neos suggests that the mastermind behind it all is from Dongxia.
The world can be vast at times, especially after it becomes connected to other worlds.
Sometimes they are so small that the number of beings capable of scheming against the gods of the human world is extremely limited.
And among these, the most likely candidate now is Dongxia.
Bai Ze's answer was also reasonable and well-founded—the god of the mortal realm was too confident.
Confident people often overlook some trivial details and people they trust.
The Western Alliance's War Marshal, the top military figure, whose status within the Western Alliance is second only to his two archenemies. Do you really believe he has no ambition?
Aside from Hoddle and the gods among men, no one would believe in such loyalty.
Sometimes, a person's darker side makes them more trustworthy.
Even Quetzalcoatl himself admitted that it was possible that Hodr had indeed betrayed the gods of the mortal realm.
Therefore, Quetzalcoatl remained noncommittal in response to Bai Ze's answer, but continued, "Even if you can defeat Neos's avatar, it won't change the outcome. When his true form returns, everything you have will be easily destroyed."
"But if there is another divine enemy supporting you, then it's a different story, isn't it?" Bai Ze countered.
His gaze was fixed on Quetzalcoatl, and it was self-evident who the so-called "enemy of the gods" was.
Quetzalcoatl laughed too. "Why should I support you?"
"Of course, it's because I can give you more."
Bai Ze immediately offered a grand promise: "I am different from the gods of the mortal realm. I do not need faith, so all faith belongs to you. How much you receive from the gods of the mortal realm depends on how much they give you."
"How much you get from me depends on how much effort you put in."
The more effort you put in, the more you can take from the gods on earth.
While the two may seem unequal, as neither requires any effort, the latter is undoubtedly more attractive when compared.
The former is easy to obtain, but it depends entirely on the whims of the gods on earth.
The latter, as long as enough effort is put in, can have virtually unlimited benefits.
If you have the ability to destroy the gods of the human world, the faith of the Western Union will all belong to you.
As he spoke, a phantom image of a dragon's head appeared behind Bai Ze. The overwhelming aura of evil proved the credibility of Bai Ze's words.
Artificial evil gods born from desires do not need positive faith; the needs of "Hodr" and the Nine Gods have no overlap.
Those who travel with you are all enemies; only someone like Bai Ze can be called a benefactor.
The exchange of benefits was simple, direct, and incredibly enticing. The extremely tempting conditions swayed many members of the Nine Alliances.
However, none of them expressed their opinions, but waited quietly for Quetzalcoatl to make a decision.
The hierarchy of spirit machines is clearly defined, with Quetzalcoatl being the strongest and possessing the highest authority.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ze secretly drew a conclusion in his heart, while calmly waiting for the response from the Feathered Serpent God.
The fact that Quetzalcoatl stayed instead of leaving immediately shows that he had his own ideas.
The minds of spirit machines are generally more rational, and rational beings seem more difficult to deal with than emotional ones, but it is also easier to understand their thoughts than to understand those of emotional beings.
"Winning against Neos won't be that easy," Quetzalcoatl said calmly.
He seemed completely unmoved, maintaining a cold and rational mindset throughout.
But Bai Ze knew that everything was settled.
"Whether we can win or not, we'll find out soon enough."
Bai Ze said, "You may all observe for now. I will show you our strength and the ability to defeat that false god."
It would be best to have the support of the Nine Alliance Gods.
If that fails, the Nine Alliance Gods must remain neutral.
Judging from the current trend, Quetzalcoatl is clearly tempted, but he still needs to observe Bai Ze's strength before making a real bet.
Bai Ze didn't care about this; he was there to cause trouble for the Western Alliance, not to dominate it.
Being able to bring the Nine Gods to the neutral side is already considered a victory.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Quetzalcoatl used an Eastern Xia idiom, smiled meaningfully, and then waved his hand gently.
The Heavenly Wisdom and Judgment Ship timely cast a beam of guiding light, and the Nine-Linked Gods guided them there.
As soon as they entered the Skyship, the white-bearded old man came to greet them.
The true form of the Celestial God has been observing the overall situation from inside the Skyship and is quite familiar with the current situation.
The white-bearded elder stretched out a light screen and said, "Leader, besides the Black Dragon Legion, the forces advancing towards Columbia City also include Aldoron's Blind Legion. Additionally, we can see the Midnight Hunter Legion's aircraft. Most of the bases in the wasteland world should have already been integrated by Hoddle."
"The result was as expected." Quetzalcoatl remained expressionless.
Compared to the general, Hoddle had far more followers among his brothers. Even if most of these people supported him because of the earthly god, there would still be at least one or two loyalists.
"His support won't be limited to just two legions; he'll likely garner support from many other hesitant forces, especially given our current inaction..."
Maintaining neutrality is itself a form of bias.
Not to mention that before this, the Nine-Linked God had even supported the General to go up and fight in the arena.
Now that the general has stepped down, a new one has immediately taken over. Anyone who sees this can't help but guess that the Nine Alliances still harbor ambitions.
Some might even praise the Nine-Fold God's superb methods, managing to win over even Hoddle. If the general hadn't sacrificed his life, the Western Alliance might already be under a different leader.
"Leader, we still cannot rule out the possibility that there is someone pulling the strings behind Hodr," the Celestial said.
"It's okay."
Quetzalcoatl said, "It's good to have someone pushing things along; it can prolong the chaos in the Western Alliance. Neos was wrong after all. Our goal is no longer to fight for faith, but to bring me into this world and take me to other worlds."
"Understood," the god replied in a completely emotionless voice.
On the other side, Bai Ze watched as the Wisdom Light Judgment slowly rose into the air and then left, his eyes flashing with light, faintly revealing two other different spiritual powers.
"The defenses of Columbia City are not easy to break. Without the help of the Nine Gods, three legions alone probably won't be able to take the city in a short time."
Ekaterina's voice echoed in his mind, "Not to mention that the Midnight Hunter Legion has only sent out reconnaissance troops and may not even actually join the battle."
As the Western Alliance's arch-enemy, no one understands this country better than Ursus.
Of the millions of informants in the Ursus security services, at least a third are active in the western continent.
"If you were to invade Colombia in a short period of time, you would be committing a great act of rebellion. If you fail to take it, you might face a counterattack from the forces of the gods on earth," Mu Yaoguang said.
Colombia is the heart of the Western Union; taking it would mean crossing a crucial turning point.
Although modern states differ from ancient feudal societies, the capital of a country remains of great significance.
.....
.....
Taking Colombia would further shatter the indestructible image of the earthly god, break others' awe and fear of the earthly god, and incite ambition and greed.
By then, perhaps even the God of the Human World will be able to experience the Western Union's signature "kill line".
"How can you say it's acting in accordance with the will of Heaven to quell the rebellion?"
Bai Ze laughed and said, "We are clearly now engaged in a coalition of eighteen warlords against Dong Zhuo."
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, sending a nanoparticle flying.
【Polaris is at your service.】
A deep voice suddenly rang out, speaking respectfully.
While Hoder was fighting the general, Bai Ze was dealing with the main body of the North Star God that he had taken away, and he was doing a great job.
Because of the previous "information tactics," Polaris God was nearing a system crash. Bai Ze took this opportunity to modify Polaris God's underlying code, making him loyal to him.
Now, the Sky-Dwelling Eye Network, which once belonged to the North Star God, also belongs to Bai Ze, and Bai Ze's ears are now spread throughout most of the Western Union.
"Take pictures of everything that just happened, edit it, and send it out," Bai Ze said.
"But these alone can only shake the authority of the gods on earth," Ekaterina said.
After all, what appeared here was merely an incarnation of a god on earth, not the god himself.
Most importantly, even the information about these incarnations was provided by Zi Ze; no one else knew that Robert and Rhine were incarnations of the gods among men.
You've said all sorts of things, good and bad. Do you think you can trust what you say?
"This message isn't just for others to see," Mu Yaoguang said, "it's also for the gods of the mortal realm."
"That's right, I want the God of the Human World to know that his position has been shaken," Bai Ze said with a smile.
With the vision and cunning of a god among mortals, it was certainly not impossible for him not to see Bai Ze's purpose.
He might even be able to guess which side is most likely to switch sides first.
Bai Ze didn't believe that the gods of the mortal realm wouldn't know who was loyal to him and who wasn't.
The Shadow Legion is the most skilled legion for assassination, and its ability to gather intelligence is certainly not lacking either.
As the incarnation of a god among men, Robert will surely maximize the role of the Shadow Legion.
No matter how arrogant the gods of the mortal realm may be, they cannot possibly believe that no one would dare to rebel. After all, there will never be a shortage of fools in this world. Bai Ze smiled to himself.
The power of the divine enemy can only be resisted by the divine enemy. As long as the true form of the god on earth returns, the situation can be stabilized.
However, not everyone can recognize this.
If everyone in this world could discern the situation and know what to do and what not to do, there wouldn't be so many problems.
The saying "idiots beat experts" means that even the most skilled person can't predict whether a fool will suddenly have a flash of inspiration and do something unpredictable.
The gods on earth are aware of this and will certainly take precautions.
What Bai Ze wanted was for him to take precautions.
"The preventative measures are nothing more than making an example of someone to deter others, letting people know the price of betrayal. And if anyone still dares to respond to me under these circumstances... that would be interesting," Bai Ze said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the two women inside the body knew what methods Bai Ze would use.
It's very simple, just have all parties send people over.
It doesn't require the leader's approval; just getting a high-ranking member of the team to agree is enough.
And this is precisely what Bai Ze excels at.
If you can't control the warriors at the Heavenly Gate, surely you can control Karami, who is below the Heavenly Gate?
All your trusted confidants have come over. You, as the boss, should know what you're thinking.
"Let's begin."
At this point, Bai Ze personally began to write the "Proclamation Against Neos".
Colombia, the official residence of the head of state.
Rhine easily took over the mansion, and the staff there smoothly pledged their loyalty to the next Western Union leader.
Therefore, when the "Declaration Against Neos" and the video of "The Great Red Dragon Defeating the God of Man" appeared, the staff of the official residence immediately reported the information to Rhine.
Rhein and Robert watched the video in the Führer's office, appreciating the captivating moments of journalism and Hoddle's literary talent.
"A little trick," Robert said.
Rhine nodded slightly.
.....
.....
They are both incarnations of the same person, connected in spirit and sharing the same opinion, both despising this kind of trickery.
Such tricks can only fool fools; true wise men will not fall for them.
Go back and kill one idiot as a sacrifice, and you can easily intimidate the other idiots.
We are all seasoned capitalist warriors, and we will definitely avoid dangerous things at all costs. Even if we have to go, we will be the last to go.
No one understands Western Union better than the gods on earth!
But before the two could reach a conclusion, bad news followed one after another.
The Ninth District Garrison has stated that it will immediately dispatch troops to subdue the "false god".
[Thirteen major corporations in the region jointly support Zhan Shuai's righteous act]
The Fourth District Veterans Association petitions for re-enlistment, willing to fight against the false god as a war commander.
The Conflict faction claims everything is within the Great God of War's prediction.
[The Seventh District's Black Knight Legion sends a secret message: They are willing to go to Columbia to protect the President's residence.]
Suddenly all sorts of monsters and demons appeared, including cult organizations.
One by one, seasoned capitalist fighters transformed into warm-hearted international humanitarian organizations.
