Sword of Dawn

Chapter 1570 "Double Spring"

In the 5th year of Cecil, in the early spring, as the Frost Sky constellation left the highest point in the night sky, the Fire Fire constellation gradually rose from the horizon, and the cold winter entrenched in the northern country finally gradually left. It's starting to simmer in cities and villages—Resurrection Day is approaching, and for most countries on this continent, this will be the most important holiday of the year.

For the citizens of Cecil City, this year's Recovery Festival is even more special.

This is the first recovery festival after the victory of the Great Battle of Tarash, and the first large-scale festival that the Alliance has ushered in since celebrating the Victory Day. It is also the day when His Majesty Gawain Cecil ends his tour and returns to his loyal imperial capital ——And in order to celebrate this exceptionally special day, the Imperial Royal Family and the Theocracy Council even came forward and authorized a grand religious celebration to hold the "Prayer and Sacrifice Ceremony of Abundance" at the largest Pioneer Square in Cecil City.

Since the Theocratic Council has vigorously rectified the national sects and the authority of the church has been weakened, the priests and believers of various sects have not held a ceremony of this scale for a long time.

For this day, half of the city has been decorated with lights and festoons. The Pioneer Square has been prepared for a few days ago, and now it has been completely arranged as a sacred ceremony site in line with the teachings of the three gods of abundance, symbolizing the earth mother Gaia and the harvest goddess Eve. As well as the various herbs and ores of the three sisters Flora, the goddess of spring, are dotted around the square, and the dry wheat ears and straw stalks that were specially stored last year are tied to the street lamps, and extend from Pioneer Square to the church area.

The crowd in costumes set off from their homes in the early morning, walked along the main road from the church area to the main square, and arrived at the altar area on time before the sun filled the square, leading the priests in costumes to offer sacrifices to the statue Bless and pour the dew collected the previous day into the earthen jar in front of the altar—with the last drop of water falling into the earthen jar, the ceremony of praying to the gods begins.

Then the trumpets sounded, and the bells and drums symbolized the joy of the harvest. The ascetics wearing garlands walked to the high platform. The goddess of spring melts the winter snow, and the rich saint wearing a plain long skirt and holding ears of wheat also stepped onto the high platform. She will preside over the sacrificial ceremony in the next link, as a representative of devout believers, on the high platform Listen directly to the will of the gods.

And when it all started, Gao Wen stood on the tallest tower at the end of the Pioneer Square, quietly overlooking the grand occasion crowded with people on the square and the solemn and complicated sacred ceremony on the altar.

Behind him, there is a large-scale machine in the not-so-spacious room. This machine occupies almost half of the room. The crystal matrix and the rune baseplate, along with the shimmering light from the crystal, a low humming sound also came from the depths of the machine, echoing slightly throughout the room.

And outside this room, in the entire tower, there are various protective devices, and there are fully armed and determined trial monks guarding everywhere.

These layers of protection are not to ensure Gawain's own safety - the safety of a legendary strong man does not need the protection of these things. The real purpose of these protections is to maintain an unprecedentedly powerful anti-divine barrier to ensure that everyone in the tower The researchers of the Theocratic Council can safely record the parameters of the ceremony site, maintain communication with the rebellious courtyard, and in the process, the divine half of the three gods of abundance will not be aware of the clues.

Gawain looked through the window and landed on the altar. He saw that the "Holy Maiden" had put ears of wheat in her hand in front of the three holy statues—these three holy statues were half man, half deer, showing It is Gaia, Eve, and Flora who are benevolently looking at the world, and with the solemn and pious prayers from the mouth of the saint, the surface of the three statues immediately appeared dense brilliance, and then the already dry The ears of wheat have regained their vibrant appearance.

Seeing the holy image glowing and the ears of wheat turning green, the saint seemed to be relieved, she nodded with a smile - this "miracle image" indicates that the connection between the gods and the world has been established, and the three goddesses have separated His eyes fell on this sacred sacrificial site, and the upcoming sacrificial ceremony here...is a "righteous act" recognized by the gods.

A familiar breath emerged from the air, and Gao Wen heard Amber's voice coming from beside him: "It looks really troublesome... I started preparing a few days ago, and now it's finally officially started. A lot of twists and turns of 'symbolic ceremonies', such as walking in the street before the sun shines, ascetics stabbing their feet with thorns, and putting ears of wheat in front of the statue... Isn't this all tossing?"

"Complicated religious ceremonies are to demonstrate the divinity of the gods and establish a clear distance between the gods and mortals. At the same time, the process of artificially formulating complex rules and strictly implementing them, and gradually evolving them into iron laws is also a manifestation of the authority of the church. "Gao Wen smiled, and said casually, "Besides, in the early stages of society, ordinary people's cultural level and logical ability are generally not strong. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that large-scale activities are carried out in an orderly manner. Sexual 'rules' are essential, not only to instill awe, but also to keep the sacred ritual scene from getting out of hand."

Speaking of this, he paused and shook his head: "Of course, with the development of society, the purpose and form of many religious ceremonies will be 'distorted' to a certain extent. On the one hand, the church must strictly implement its 'core' to show its orthodoxy. Status, on the one hand, will add a lot of "private goods" under the human factor, anyway, as long as it does not violate the basic dogma of the gods, as long as the sacrificial ceremony can be carried out, it will be successful."

"That's right, I suspect that the three of Gaia and the others directly participated in the last part where the icon was illuminated," Amber moved to Gawain's side, and muttered while looking at the square with her head in her hands, "The tossing about by the ascetics in front is for the ceremony." In the middle of the process, go to the square to collect donations for soup and medicine..."

Gao Wen: "..."

Although he really wanted to remind the Shadow Assault Goose that what was going on in front of him was an extremely serious large-scale experiment that would directly affect whether the Ragnarok Project could be carried out smoothly, but there was another voice deep in his heart telling him—this guy that's right.

The feeling of not being able to vomit was extremely uncomfortable, so Gao Wen quickly shifted his attention to other places. He looked away from the ceremony scene in the square, turned around and came to the large equipment in the center of the room. The rattling device is essentially a high-power anti-divine barrier generator, but for this special application scenario, it has integrated a set of encrypted communication equipment inside—Gao Wen reached out and activated the crystal located in front of the device, Accompanied by the clicking sound of switching rune substrates, the crystal surface gradually lit up, and then a clear holographic projection appeared in front of him and Amber.

The most eye-catching thing in the center of the holographic projection is the golden oak tree in the depths of the disobedient courtyard. Next to the golden oak tree, Flora, the goddess of spring, who was talking with Amorn heard the movement from the communication device, and immediately got up and left. come over.

In the background behind Flora, in the dark depths some distance away from the golden oak tree, other tall and stalwart figures can be vaguely seen—they are gathered at the "meeting ground" to witness the sacrifice. other gods in rituals.

"The ceremony in Cecil City has already started." Gawain nodded slightly to the Goddess of Spring who appeared on the communicator. "According to the plan, the ceremony site at Typhon and Baiyin should also start at the same time."

"Yes, we have felt the strong prayers of the believers just now." Flora nodded immediately, and then raised her finger to the darkness in the distance of the disobedient courtyard, "My two sisters have returned to the Kingdom of God to monitor the passage of sacrifice situation, I will stay here and pay attention to the changes in the world.”

"Well," Gao Wen responded briefly, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked again, "Is there any problem with the sacrifice and the calibration of the ceremony site? Don't make any mistakes—such a large-scale sacrifice It is the first time since ancient times that there is a channel for offering sacrifices."

"Don't worry!" The Goddess of Spring had a bright smile on her face, and tapped her forefoot on the ground lightly, "Take away the things in the house, don't want the house, and the words 'Wu De Express, Mission Must Be Done' are printed on the box." Take away things that are not marked, don't want things that are not marked, things can be taken away when no one is watching, but once someone sees them, you can't take them-of course, except for the person in charge of the handover arranged by the Theocratic Council on the spot. Simple, we remember clearly Clear!"

Gao Wen nodded as he listened, and his heart relaxed a little. To be honest, he didn't doubt that the three goddesses would not even be able to remember such a simple thing, but he was mainly worried that the three sisters would make mistakes because of being too excited—after all, the Goddess Human nature is more inclined to "human", and human beings... will have a significant decrease in intelligence when they are about to get off work.

But he nodded his head, and Amber next to him seemed to think of something suddenly, and rushed over anxiously: "Hey wait! Don't forget to take the things on the altar!"

The Goddess of Spring in the communication screen was stunned for a moment: "Altar? What altar?"

"The platform where your saint is standing!" Hu Po's eyes widened suddenly, "That's the main point of this sacrificial ceremony! Don't forget to take away the sacrifices on it at the end... ...I'm going, you really forgot, didn't you?"

The Goddess of Spring fell silent for a moment, then turned her face away while pawing the ground vigorously with her hoof: "I haven't forgotten."

Gao Wen: "..."

……

At the same time, on the large altar in the center of Pioneer Square, the Holy Maiden of Abundance has completed her prayers and blessings before the sacrificial ceremony, and this sacred ceremony is about to usher in a critical stage.

Under the focus of eyes of thousands of believers and many priests, the saint with brilliant golden curly hair came to the statue of the three goddesses with a particularly serious expression. She lit the incense that had been prepared in front of the statue, and Sprinkle the dew collected in the morning on the edge of the incense plate, and then, in the unanimous blessing of all the priests, take the holy things handed over by the deacon and place them in front of the holy image.

It was the first tender seedling to germinate in the temple garden before the Resurrection Festival, the snow water collected during the last snowfall of the cold winter, and the lapis lazuli amulet of the highest quality representing the 'sacredness' of the three goddesses.

The saint placed these sacrificial objects at the feet of the holy image—this was not the first time she performed a sacrificial ceremony to the three goddesses, but this was definitely the most respectful, serious, and solemn time in her life.

Not only because this ceremony was supported by the royal family and the Theocratic Council, but also because on the eve of the royal order, she received the revelation of the three goddesses in her sleep, and the goddesses directly heralded the arrival of this grand ceremony.

What else could such prophetic deeds be, but true graces and miracles, be received from the gods before the orders of the royal family and the theocratic council?It can't be because the gods had a meeting with His Majesty the Emperor two months in advance, right?

With a grateful heart inspired by the gods and ample confidence in the support of the royal family, the Abundant Maiden took a deep breath. She felt that this might be the most successful sacrificial ceremony that she could hold in her life, because... she Already felt the eyes of the gods descended on this land.

There was joy and anticipation in those eyes.

And at the edge of Pioneer Square, in the depths of the street that the believers who participated in the ceremony had never noticed, a large warehouse facility was standing quietly.

This is an inconspicuous warehouse, which is no different from the common civilian storage facilities in this city. The nuns of the Arbitration Tribunal are vigilantly monitoring all the gates of the warehouse and the intersections of every nearby street. There is even at least one watcher on the roof of every building around the warehouse.

At the main entrance of the heavily fortified warehouse, in an inconspicuous corner, there is a small badge with wheat ears as the main body.

That is the emblem of the three gods of abundance.

Where there is a sacred emblem, it is a sacrificial place.

Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, came to the warehouse. After a brief handover with the sentinel at the main entrance, she pushed open the warehouse door and stepped inside.

The strong artistic atmosphere in the warehouse is overwhelming - tons of charge units, shell boxes stacked neatly and almost piled up in mountains, crystal bombs that can't be seen at a glance, and other dazzling "modern art crystallizations" .

What they have in common is that they are easy to use, durable to store, easy to activate and easy to maintain, and do not need to consider the launch environment, and the power of in-situ detonation is amazing.

Of course, for safety reasons, what is piled up in this warehouse is actually only part of the bomb, and they have all been dismantled (to activate the rune board)-the fuzes are all placed in another warehouse across the square, which has the same bombs as here. layout.

Veronica's eyes scanned the entire warehouse. After confirming for the last time that the "sacred ceremony ground" was normal, she took out a piece of paper from her bosom, shook it away, and read the words on it expressionlessly. Text: "Symbol of the Earth, Master of the Harvest, Herald of Spring and Restoration..."

On the square, the saint in the center of the altar raised her hands to the icon with piety and awe. Her voice echoed in the ears of thousands of believers: "Pious believers pray to the three gods. We are like lambs, kneeling on the ground. In the mortal world, we have received the grace of God and sincerely offered sacrifices..."

In the warehouse, Veronica had already put away the paper on which the prayer was recorded in her hand. From memory, her voice, which was as smooth as reading a manuscript, ended at the same time as the prayer of the saint on the square——

"...with this humble attitude, I would like to offer the treasures of this world, and may God be gracious and accept this sacrifice."

In the next second, a distorted light curtain filled Veronica's sight!

All perceptions lost their effect at this moment, and the opening of the large-scale sacrificial channel directly distorted the space-time order in the warehouse for a short time, and the tons of "art collections" were turned into some kind of space between matter and virtual images things, and was sucked into the depths of the distorted light curtain like a storm!

On the square, thousands of believers are watching at the same time, and the saint of abundance is also staring at the three sacrifices at the feet of the holy statue. This is the most critical stage of the whole ceremony. Whether the gods are happy with the piety of mortals, the harvest of the year Whether and Shun Shun can be guaranteed depends entirely on whether the sacrifice will be taken away by invisible forces—this girl with golden curly hair dare not blink her eyes, she stared at it for a long time, feeling uneasy about When it emerged, the vision she had been praying for finally appeared.

An invisible light curtain suddenly descended from the sky, and where the light curtain passed, the sacrifices disappeared out of thin air.

Even the trays holding the sacrifices seem to be gone...

The saint blinked, and she looked at the deacon next to her, and found that the deacon was also a little flustered.

I've never seen this.jpg.

But after all, it is a high-level priest, and a stable mind is the most basic requirement for standing in this position. The saint quickly woke up from the astonishment of "Why did the three goddesses even take away the plates", and thought within a second. Now that she was able to convince herself and all the believers, she turned around and looked towards the square, facing the grand scene full of thousands of heads, she declared loudly——

"Rejoice! God is pleased with our piety—very pleased!!"

In the next second, there was thunderous applause in the square.

At the same time, around the golden oak tree in the disobedient courtyard, the gods who came to watch the excitement also burst into applause.

Chapter 1571 Presenting fireworks for Ragnarok

The successful holding of the sacrificial ceremony brought the atmosphere of celebration in the square to its peak suddenly. The believers of the God of Fertility cheered thunderously, and the priests around the altar also began to praise the holy names of the three goddesses in unison. Guanghua emerged from the sky above the holy statues of the three goddesses, covering the high platform like a magnificent aurora, and then, the magnificent classical ritual music was played, and the priestesses who acted as the messengers of the goddess came from the other side of the square, offering incense again. The three priest teams of ointment, grain, and soil began to enter the arena, and everything was strictly followed by the scriptures.

No one knows what they sent to the kingdom of the gods behind this exciting ceremony.

In the tall tower on the edge of the square, Gao Wen stood in front of the window and watched the celebrations on the square with a smile. Next to him was Amber poking his head forward. After watching the excitement for a long time, Amber suddenly muttered. Get up: "There are still many followers of the Three Goddesses..."

"The Three Gods of Abundance are the righteous gods with the widest number of believers. Although the Church of the Three Gods is not as powerful as the Holy Light Sect, they are rooted in the most basic material needs of all living beings, so their influence spreads throughout the Loren Continent. On the other hand, , and they have an exceptionally long history, and their birth can even be traced back to the variant of the belief of Amorne, the main god of the elves, which is destined to have a deep-rooted influence," Gawain said with a faint smile, "theocratic power Although the transformation of the council has been effective, and the civil literacy work has continued for several years, it is still far from enough to completely change this deep-rooted thing—even if many people can clearly understand the nature of the church and the limitations of the gods , They still choose to go to churches and shrines to pray on their rest days, which may be for the pursuit of pure peace of mind, or it may just be a habit.”

"The good news is that the pursuit of pure peace of mind and habitual prayers will not actually form a projection of thoughts, will it?" Amber raised her eyebrows, "Whether they want to admit it or not, when they know the true situation of the gods For a moment, it is difficult for most of them to have such a pure and pious belief... Doubt, even the slightest doubt, will form a gap in the current of thought."

"Yes, knowledge literacy has planted doubts about the gods in their hearts - it's no wonder that some diehards who have not yet been wiped out privately call me 'the evil spirit that brings doubt and depravity to the world' "Gao Wen laughed, even though he was slandering himself, the smile on his face became more and more cheerful, "Their description is very accurate."

"You're not angry at all when you mention this." Amber glanced at Gao Wen sideways, "Do you know that those guys who scolded you behind your back almost hated you so much?"

"Those who hate me are miserable with resentment, yet they can only watch as the world rushes past them and leaves them far behind - shouldn't I Do you feel great happiness?" Gao Wen said cheerfully, "And as I said, their descriptions are very accurate, I just want to bring doubts to this world, and doubts are one of the driving forces for the progress of the world. If most people are not saints, they can only be fools... But how many saints are there?"

Amber curled her lips, noncommittal, then her eyes fell on the square not far away, and after staring at it for a moment, she shook her head slightly: "Then let them be intoxicated again, the Ragnarok plan has begun, they There are not many opportunities to dream."

Gao Wen rubbed her hair casually, turned around and returned to the large device in the center of the room. After a few simple operations, he switched to another encrypted line. As the magic phantom above the projection crystal gradually refocused while shaking, Bell The figures of Setia and Rosetta Augustus appeared in front of him.

"The sacrificial ceremony at Cecil's test site has been carried out smoothly, and all the 'goods' have been delivered to the 'customers'." Gawain nodded at the vision in front of him, "How is the situation on your side?"

"The situation at the Aldernan test site is normal, and the goods have been delivered," Rosetta Augustus was the first to answer, "I was watching the ceremony just now, and none of the priests and believers at the scene noticed the vicinity of the ceremony site. exception."

"The sacrificial ceremony at the royal court went very smoothly," Belsetia also showed a slight smile, "This is the ceremony I presided over personally."

"You presided over it yourself?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although there was an agreement when he decided to set up three simultaneous sacrifice test sites, the three empires were each responsible for the test process in their own territory, but he did not expect that The Silver Queen would go into battle in person, "Can you personally preside over the sacrifice ceremony of the three gods of abundance?"

"This is a decision I made after discussing with the theological consultants - the belief in the three gods of abundance was born out of the god of nature, which has complex cultural origins in the Silver Empire, although due to some historical reasons, we only officially recognize' The God of Nature' is the only 'state religion', but in fact most of the silver elves regard the belief of the three gods of abundance as a 'subline' of the natural belief. From this perspective, I, the 'Highest Priestess of the God of Nature', It is appropriate to preside over the ceremony on behalf of the Holy Maiden of Abundance," Belsetia explained, "As for the ability to preside over the ceremony...of course I have no problem, at least from the knowledge level, I am a real 'high-ranking priest' '."

Listening to Belsetia's explanation, Gawain still frowned a little worriedly: "Will there be hidden dangers in terms of trends of thought and belief?"

"Don't worry—it's ordinary believers and the three goddesses of abundance who really provide the power for the sacrificial ceremony, and all the connections are also established on them. I just completed the ceremony arrangement and process command step by step, regardless of the 'pious' situation Now, this is a purely technical issue," Belsetia smiled, "From this point of view, the 'handover personnel' we set up in various secret warehouses are also the same: they are not believers of the three gods of abundance, but according to The ritual process can still open the sacrificial channel."

"...That's true," Gao Wen thought for a while, then nodded lightly, "The cooperation of the three goddesses is the key."

Hearing Gao Wen mentioning the cooperation of the three goddesses, Rosetta couldn't help showing a thoughtful look, he stroked the stubble on his chin: "I don't know what's going on in the Kingdom of God... The three testing grounds simultaneously sent hundreds of tons of 'worldly weapons' to the Kingdom of God as a 'test', which is not a small amount, and I hope the three goddesses don't make any mistakes."

"Indeed," Belsetia said with a slight frown, "Although the things we sent this time have been processed in advance to separate the fuzes for safety, after being sent to the Kingdom of God, the three goddesses still need to do the secondary assembly and repair by themselves. Stored..."

If an ordinary person who believed in gods stood here, he would never have imagined the situation that "gods make mistakes", but none of the few people here at the moment is a devout believer, whether it is Gawain or Rosetta, Or Belsetia, who is considered a "saint" and "priestess" in name, all know that the gods, like mortals, have their own limitations and weaknesses, and they have no psychological burden when questioning the gods.

But it is precisely that they question the gods without any burden, but at this moment they become the people who really "worry" about the gods in this world-they are like worrying that a child who gets a sword for the first time will accidentally hurt him. I was as worried as myself that the three goddesses would blow me up in advance, but Gawain was relieved in the end: "I don't think you need to worry, all the gods have attended the arms maintenance class, and Rebecca personally taught the class, and the three sisters are rich. Still the best score in the mock test..."

"You also conducted a mock test for the gods?" Rosetta was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, if you don't test, how will you know if they've really mastered it? That's a large amount of ammunition that can blow up gods to death!" Gawain immediately said as a matter of course, "I arranged written tests and practical exercises for them, Rui Bei Ka will randomly check their class notes after each class. In the next few rounds of tests, the average score of the three Fengrao sisters is the highest, and the notes are also the most solid, so Rebecca recommended them...Why do you think they are the first? The first round of tests to choose the three gods of abundance?

"...I thought it was just around the corner of the Easter holiday..." Belsetia muttered in astonishment, then the corner of her mouth trembled, and she sighed, "It's really you."

Gao Wen: "...Why do you both have this expression? Is there anything unreasonable about my operation? Taking notes in class, taking exams after learning, practicing skills, and remediating mistakes. Isn't this process taken for granted..."

"Yes, yes, of course," Belsetia didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but felt that the Silver Queen's expression was a little tense, and the corners of her mouth were tense, "The education system of the Cecil Empire world Take the lead, the modern school you founded is also an advanced thing that all countries in the alliance are vying to emulate-but I really didn't expect that even the gods would need to take reading notes and take exams when they come to the classroom you set up..."

Gao Wen suddenly laughed: "You have to admit that this is very effective."

……

At the same time, in the chaotic depths far away from the real world, among the projection groups of the endless deep sea, a vibrant kingdom of gods shrouded in a shimmering dome is running quietly in the dark.

Suddenly, continuous flashes of light lit up in the twilight dome one after another, and the large-scale material transformation caused layers of ripples to appear in the dome of the Kingdom of God. This extraordinary vision lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually Announcement of peace.

Under the dome, the endless wilderness stretches into the distance. Two big rivers flow in the wilderness, and they merge into a huge garden in the center of the wilderness. Deep in the garden, there is a huge open space between the two big rivers. There is a long table with a feast, and countless phantom spirits feast and celebrate around the long table, and three vaguely huge figures sit quietly at the end of the long table. These three figures are ethereal and holy but lack vitality. The divine but cold and indifferent eyes stared at the feast in front of him, responding to the invisible prayers of believers like a machine that was running precisely, while the economy mixed with blood in the darkness extended from the nearby bushes, Quietly entangled at the feet of these three holy figures of half man and half deer.

And outside this feast garden, in an open space on the edge of the vast wilderness, there are three women who are almost exactly the same as the holy figure at the end of the long table. They are Gaia, Eve, and the girl who just returned from the meeting place. Three sisters Flora.

On the open ground in front of the three sisters, there are mountains of "goods".

Explosives brought in from the world are piled up at the entrance of the garden. Huge ammunition boxes and prefabricated charge units are neatly stacked on the solid ground that has been leveled in advance. Flora, the goddess of spring, looks up at these "explosive "Mountain of Things", it took a long time to say: "Wow..."

Then, the youngest and lively goddess among the three sisters walked briskly to the big box closest to her, pulled off the wooden board on the box, and took out a cylindrical crystal charge from inside. Unit, and then put the left front leg on the box and posed while lightly holding the charge unit up and down in the hand: "Well, the quality of this batch is very good."

"Where did you learn this unladylike posture?" Gaia was about to check the situation of several other "goods", and frowned when she saw her sister's behavior, "It looks so vulgar, put your hoof down .”

Flora quickly put her legs back, and while putting the charge unit in her hand back into the box, she lowered her head and explained: "Your Excellency Amoen is watching something called 'Phantom Drama'..."

"...The things on the magic net are very complicated. Amorn is a mature god, and he can tell the difference, but you don't have to learn everything." Gaia immediately educated his sister, "Come here, we still have business to do."

Flora ran back obediently, and Eve, the goddess of harvest, observed the elder sister's expression, and picked up a plate from the side with a little embarrassment: "Where do you put this thing?"

Gaia looked at the tray in Eve's hand in astonishment—it was a large plate compared to the size of a human, but it was as small as a seasoning dish in Eve's hand: "...Why is there a plate? "

"I accidentally brought it back when I was receiving the sacrifice," Eve said awkwardly, "and it's not just a plate..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Flora's voice from nearby. The goddess of spring ran to the pile of "goods" at some point, and found something new after searching: "Why are there still a few bricks here?"

"The bricks must have been accidentally brought back from the warehouse floor," Eve sighed, and took out another item from her side. "I still have a shoe here, and I don't know whose it is..."

Gaia stared dumbfounded at what the two younger sisters found out from the "sacrifice", her expression changed from embarrassment to astonishment and then a little numbness, she heard Eve continue to say: "I suspect we brought back a lot things, but generally speaking, it shouldn’t be serious, most of them are small gadgets or innocuous ‘sundries’ that are not easy to notice. The material of the country may have exceeded the sum of the past thousands of years..."

Gaia opened her mouth, and in the end, she could only say as if to comfort herself: "Yes, the scale is very large, so... a little bit of mistakes in the busy schedule is inevitable, right?"

Flora looked at Eve and then at Gaia, shrinking her neck in front of the two sisters: "...Will Rebecca stay behind to make up lessons because of this?"

Gaia shook her head, half comforting her sister and half comforting herself: "No, we are collecting experimental data, and mistakes are also part of the experiment—on the whole, our experiment should be quite successful. "

Only then did Flora breathe a sigh of relief, and then her eyes fell on the mountain of explosives: "Then... shall we start now?"

Gaia glanced back in the direction of the garden, where the jubilant but meaningless banquet continued as it had done for thousands of years, while the empty avatars of divinity sat sitting where their sisters had been bound for thousands of years. Years ago, watching all this indifferently.

The "Goddess of the Earth" took a light breath, her expression calmed down.
