Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 493 "True Eternal Night"

"Almighty Lord, merciful Father, please forgive us for the sins we have committed..."

In the church of the True Creator, a girl in civilian clothes whispered to herself, tears in the corners of her eyes, and her body trembled slightly with fear.

The girl was sitting near the door, shivering. Beside her, many priests in white robes were walking back and forth. They held torches or oil lamps in their hands, escorting batches of civilians into the Church of the Creator.

The reason why they held torches and oil lamps was because darkness was descending from the sky, and only where the firelight illuminated would there be some light.

Even though the church had been prepared from the beginning, after the incident, many people did not appear in the place where the light was shining, and disappeared into the darkness. No one knew where they went, and no one could find them.

No matter if they were extraordinary or ordinary people, they had no way to contact anyone outside Backlund. The telegraph could not transmit extraordinary abilities and could not be used. Even the spirit world seemed to be sealed and could not be entered. This place was like an isolated island in the darkness, and danger was hidden at all times.

Anyone who has personally experienced darkness and seen someone suddenly disappear beside them will be swallowed up by the fear that seems to come from the bone marrow. This is like a test from the gods, and it is the real "midnight" experienced by everyone in Backlund.

"How is the evacuation of the people in the fourth district going?" The dark saint Xesma stood in the middle of the church, holding a miniature sun in his hand. The "sun" continuously emitted pure sunlight to the outside, and under the sunlight, wisps of black air continued to emerge from his body, as if his whole body was being purified.

——A genuine purification, because what he held in his hand was a copy of the Beyonder Characteristics of Sequence 2 of the "Sun" Pathway, which, after being slightly sealed, was used as a huge light source.

After the fall of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the True Creator stripped away the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence Two, which came in handy right now. Not only the Creator Church, but also the Church of Fools and the Church of Night now have a small "sun".

"Under our guidance, all the people in the fourth district have entered the shelter's 'underground city', but the underground city has not yet been fully opened. Archbishop Xesma, it is now overcrowded."

"It would be great if everyone can evacuate. We will arrange for the remaining personnel of our church to go there to maintain order and check whether there are any wild Beyonders or followers of the evil god." Kesma emphasized:
"Pass the order down. If you encounter a believer in the evil god at this time, kill him without mercy! If you encounter wild Beyonders, warn them once. If they don't want to be recruited by the authorities, you can kill them on the spot."

"Of course, even if they are willing to join the official team, they cannot be allowed to approach the ceremony hall now. They will be escorted to the cells first."

The fiery light in the missionary's eyes shone again after a long absence. He nodded excitedly, fully demonstrating the mental state of a Hanged Man Beyonder: "I understand, Archbishop!"

"A land abandoned by God..." After the missionary left, Kesma muttered to himself. The scene at this moment was almost the same as the land abandoned by God that he had seen before, with darkness swallowing up everything.

As a high-ranking member of the Creator Church, he naturally knew that this was the residual power of the Goddess of Night when she was fighting against some terrifying will.

Because their Lord, their father, the ancient sun god, now the real creator, is also experiencing the same situation as the goddess of night. Therefore, Kesma is praying for his own god and the gods of others at the same time.

When Kosma was praying, a soft and cold voice sounded in his ears: "Go and find the Lord's allies. The lost history will soon return, and He will lead you upward."

The message from the "Angel of Destiny"? Kesma was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "I understand, Angel of Destiny."

Looking at the figure of Kesma going away, Ouroboros, the "Angel of Destiny", looked towards the east calmly. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh.

"The Kingdom of Silver..."

"The Lord has made the final decision... I need to give the higher-dimensional beings an advance warning."

……

"Well, I'm glad to see you all here safe and sound." Gao Wei, still in the form of "Adolf", said to the people in front of him, "How is the situation in the dungeon?"

Earl Hall pinched his beard and said to the head of state in front of him:
"Now we have allowed all civilians to enter the underground city, but we have not yet fully carried out the corresponding construction and renovation outside Backlund. According to the speed at which darkness spreads, the entire territory of the Loen Republic will be covered by darkness in less than seven days. By then... I'm afraid there will be many casualties."

"You don't need to control the outside world for the time being. I have sent several special commissioners. They will send letters to the local old nobles and big businessmen, calling on them to make efforts in this regard."

Gao Wei looked calm. "The decrees of the church and the government will tell them what they need to do at this time. Although the laws of the empire stipulate that personal property is inviolable, there will always be some people who will be bewitched by the evil gods and fall into the trap of greed, right?"

Gao Wei said to Earl Hall with a half-smile on his face. Earl Hall, who was a little worried, stroked his chin and said, "You mean..."

"Everything has to give way to survival. If I remember correctly, churches and government organizations in every place have prepared enough supplies and 'light sources' for all civilians to survive for three months. Well, if there are really people who are greedy enough to collect most of the supplies for themselves and let those ordinary people suffer, then punishment and judgment will fall on them."

"Now is not the time to settle accounts with the other party after the disaster. You all should know the cause of this divine disaster. As 'humans', we naturally cannot let worldly affairs hold back the gods."

Gao Wei looked at the thin middle-aged man beside him and nodded slightly: "Mr. Nigan, where are you?"

The former prime minister of the kingdom, the brother of the assassinated Duke Negan, spoke slowly after a brief silence: "Mr. Prime Minister, I think the decision you made now is absolutely correct. Even if we don't talk about the end of the world many years later, even the affairs of our country cannot allow those people to act presumptuously."

"If it were in the old kingdom or the old empire, people who did these things would be executed by His Majesty the King."

"That's why we are not a kingdom or an empire. We need to be sensible and follow the law when doing things. Although we write the law, we should not be able to manipulate it." Gao Wei waved his hand.
"So this matter must not become a habit, nor can it be done openly, otherwise we will be no different from the former empire."

"Yes, I'm glad you think so now." Nigan performed an old-fashioned salute with impeccable aristocratic etiquette, and then retreated silently. He did not seem to abandon the glory of the old nobility, but changed a way to practice it.

It turns out that after serving as prime minister for such a long time, he possesses abilities that ordinary people cannot match, so that he has undoubtedly become one of the top leaders in the current government.

Today's so-called "old aristocrats" are nothing more than cowards or stubborn people who failed in the aristocratic competition and are unwilling to face the reality.

Gao Wei did not feel offended by what Duke Negan said just now. He chuckled and waited for the responses from the remaining few people.

"Führer," said Mori Macht, who, like Earl Hall, was one of the first members of parliament to support the new government.

During the period when George Tudor usurped power and established the Imperial dictatorship, the rights of the members of the House of Commons were greatly weakened, which also prompted them to support the new regime, after all, this was more in line with the interests of them as members of the House of Commons.

After a little consideration, Macht said:
"As for the opinions of the current officials, they are still divided into the same factions as before. There are relatively few people in Backlund who do not support civilians receiving education, and most of them are scattered outside. There should be no one in the underground city of Backlund who will incite."

"Moreover, I have now put those officials under surveillance in a gentle manner, and will not allow them to have any contact with people who might want to undermine the relationship between the people and the government."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then slowly gave his suggestion:

"Although the underground city under Backlund has not been fully completed yet, I think we can still bring in ordinary people who are displaced and unable to return to the surface in batches. And we can continue to expand from the underground city to the outside, and bring all the cities under our control."

The so-called underground city system is an "ecosphere" created by the high-dimensional overwatchers for the future star ships.

After all, it is not easy to make ordinary people suffer the impact of transfer when they are directly on the surface. Putting aside the likes and dislikes of the high-dimensional overlookers themselves, the large-scale death of these ordinary people will damage the anchor of the gods on the earth, so they cannot be "free-range" on the surface.

Moreover, the dungeon system has another advantage, which is that the entire continent can be brought under the control of several gods, and the hidden followers of evil gods can be eliminated more quickly and efficiently.

The official preliminary screening, Amon and others used extraordinary abilities and the distortion of the Black Emperor to screen again, and finally screened again when entering the underground city. After three screenings, it was enough for Gao Wei to screen out most of the followers of the evil god, and now with the help of this "dark" disaster, this underground city can be called...

--"refuge".

"That's a good idea. But what do you think about the technical aspects, Mr. Polant?"

As the founder of this city, Gao Wei knew the technical problems better than anyone else, but in order to maintain Adolf's "personality" as an ordinary head of state, he had to ask Mr. Polant beside him. He was the director of Backlund Mechanical Manufacturing Institute and the current vice president of Miskatonic.

An interesting thing is that Mr. Polant used to be a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, but after the Holy Light Church and Aurora Corporation announced their cooperation to develop more sophisticated machinery and officially published the paper "The Relationship between Extraordinary Characteristics and Practical Applications", he converted to the "God of Truth and Holy Light".

This was also thanks to the fact that he was a Beyonder, and the Loen Republic, with Backlund as the center, constantly transmitted the concept of Beyonder characteristics to the outside world, making it a daily routine, so that ordinary people would not be afraid of Beyonders.

Of course, this is also related to the relaxation of church policies. Now, Extraordinary People have vaguely become some professions, which are very popular among ordinary people, but at the same time they are also monitored by the church and the government.

"There should be no technical problems, but the city we built relies on extraordinary technology and the gift of the gods. In some places, it is very likely that extraordinary ripples will be released unknowingly, which will hurt ordinary people." Polant thought and said to Gao Wei:

"So my suggestion is that we can gather some extraordinary people and place them in places with extraordinary artifacts. Of course, the sequence of the extraordinary artifacts cannot exceed their own sequence, otherwise it will affect them and make them possibly crazy."

"After all, there aren't many 'audiences' in the Creator's Church right now. Most of them have been transferred to the Church of Darkness to help the Beyonders of the Darkness Path stabilize their own status."

At this point, Polant said with some regret:
"In fact, Mr. Yuan, we have made some preparations in advance. For example, in Feysac in the north, there are many extraordinary warriors in West Feysac, while the east is occupied by two evil gods. We are not clear about the situation there, and they have cut off economic ties with us."

"Although we have sent out some warnings via telegram before, their situation may be even worse. After all, their church is currently shut down and may become a hotbed for evil gods."

"No matter what, let's deal with the situation here first." Gao Wei said calmly, "At the same time, notify the church to define this disaster as a divine disaster caused by the evil god to prevent the collapse of the faith of the followers of the Goddess of Night."

"We have done what we should do as humans. Now, we can only wait for the results from the gods."

"What is the name of this divine disaster?" Earl Hall asked cautiously. Gao Wei was silent for a moment, and said to the people in front of him:
"This is a disaster created by a god who is hostile to the Goddess of Night. The name of the evil god should not be known to ordinary people... Well, there is a way."

Gao Wei raised his head:
"Name the evil god and the divine disaster together, and direct faith to the goddess of night. Let's call this disaster..."

"'True Eternal Night'."

　I added a chapter today to keep in mind any subsequent emergencies.

　　If I have five chapters in reserve, I can try to update more... I hope I won't be too busy later on.
