Magical Civilization and the War of the Gods

Information locked.

Contract signed.

Suman Liandel is the temporary owner of the "Tower of Fire".

……

"Now that you are the holder of the Tower of Fire, I will open up various levels of technical knowledge to your researchers according to your requirements. At the same time, I also hope that you can study more about our history and culture, and preferably continue to pass it on." said the intelligent mechanical program.

"If there is a chance, we will naturally help with the inheritance, provided that we can survive this war." said Head of Ke Lian.

At this time, he has recovered to the state of "Leader of Ke Lian".

"Speaking of which, I still have a small doubt." Leader Ke Lian suddenly asked.

"Please speak." Intelligent mechanical program.

"How did you determine whether I was a leader of civilization? Although I was finally revised to a reformer, was it just relying on polygraph-like magic devices? Or was it some other means?" asked Head of State Ko Lian.

"Leaders all have a unique aura that even ordinary people can sense through direct observation, and I can also make accurate judgments in this regard. Therefore, the previous simple option answers could not pass the verification, and could not even trigger my appearance."

"The second is the natural element fluctuations related to the aura. This is a method of observing elements. Its principle is demonstrated in the 8th database and sample machinery on the 27th floor."

"This elemental fluctuation has nothing to do with one's own strength. It only has to do with the feedback generated by one's leadership of the people."

"Based on the 'gods' you mention in your daily conversations, let's describe them with a more understandable adjective: the condensation of 'the power of faith'."

“It can be further divided into the belief feedback of powerful ‘gods’, the belief feedback of powerful ‘emotions’, and the belief feedback of powerful ‘leaders’ required for certification.”

The intelligent mechanical program explained it simply, and since it involved a matter of principle, it used a rough analogy.

mood?

Leader Ke Lian was slightly startled, but soon understood that it was probably because the emotional value feedback provided by "stars" would be concentrated on those stars. This kind of large-scale public knowledge would also produce faith feedback similar to "gods" and "leaders".

Since it is unclear whether there are "stars" in this era, the intelligent mechanical program uses "emotions" to describe them.

And it only recognizes "leaders".

……

"It's a pity that the true power of faith does not exist, otherwise I should be very strong now." Head of Ke Lian also said jokingly.

At the same time, not asking any more questions meant that he understood the explanation of the intelligent mechanical program.

"We have also tried to study whether we can use this power, and it is not completely without results." The intelligent mechanical program said at this time.

"Oh?"

Head of State Ke Lian immediately became interested. Could there be a surprise?

"For now, let's call this power what you are familiar with, 'Faith'."

"To put it simply, this power cannot directly affect you, but it can help the people who believe in you. For example, the strengthening magic required for war can be accelerated and the effect can be strengthened."

"You can think of it as the 'catalyst' effect in the alchemical reaction, which allows you to give back to your people of faith as a 'leader'."

Intelligent mechanical programs explain how to exert this power.

"Suppose I provide a 10-man army with a magic spell that increases its strength by 3%, and it takes seconds to take effect."

"Then with the blessing of this power of faith, the enhancement effect can reach 11%-15%, and the effective time can be shortened to 1-2 seconds."

"That's what you mean, right?"

Leader Ke Lian gave an example.

"That's understandable, but the specific enhancement effect will depend on the 'total amount of faith' in you and the target's 'degree of faith' in you, so not every army or individual will get the same effect." The intelligent mechanical program nodded.

"It is indeed a fruitful research." Head of State Ke Lian nodded with satisfaction.

He had always felt that there was something wrong with the fact that they existed in this world of so-called "gods" and there was no use of the "power of faith".

Now it seems that it is just a matter of whether or not to try to develop it.

Obviously, all the gods in the past have tried, but they were all attempts to see if they could strengthen themselves.

pity.

This power of faith comes from the feedback from the people, and its effect can only be given back to the people.

Therefore, unless a god tries to use the vaguely perceived power of faith to assist the people he protects, he will never find the true way to use this power.

Perhaps over countless tens of thousands of years, a god accidentally discovered this method.

but……

No use.

……

If gods gather faith, it is basically to strengthen themselves.

If this power, which was temporarily defined as "faith" by the intelligent mechanical program, could only be fed back to the weak mortals under its protection, what would be the use? In order to make the mortals work harder, one had to cast strengthening magic on them personally?

Let the common people fight for you? Even after being strengthened, the common people are still weak.

In the age of theocracy, ordinary people had no ability to intervene in the wars between gods.

even.

If I make ordinary people stronger, what if they become a threat to me?

……

"Can you teach me directly?" Leader Ke Lian asked directly.

This is a force that will inevitably be used in war, so we still have to ask how much.

"All open knowledge can be used by you, you just need to remember the contract." The intelligent mechanical program replied.

What I mean is, it can be taught.

"I will be fighting externally next, which means I will actively attack the dragon clan where the Dragon God is. This is not just self-protection." Head of Ke Lian took the initiative to explain.

"According to the information I have obtained from your researchers' daily exchanges, Dragon God is not an existence that is beneficial to the development of civilization, and has launched devastating destruction on existing civilizations. For such a target, even if it is completely destroyed, it will not violate the contract."

“And also give advance warning.”

"This is just an answer based on the partial information I collected, for reference only."

"After 'He' has locked onto your information, his detection capabilities will spread to the outside world as you leave, which means 'monitoring'."

"So please make your own judgment regarding war-related orders."

The intelligent mechanical program warned in advance.

"I understand." Leader Ke Lian nodded with relief.

In this way, he could safely and boldly let the researchers start converting usable war technology to the military industry.

Now this brings up another problem.

……

"Who do you think should lead the future of civilization?"

"Intelligent programs, gods, or the people?"

Leader Ke Lian asked.

"I can't give a clear answer, but first exclude intelligent programs like us, because that belongs to your future."

"The gods of this era do not understand and cannot judge."

"But according to the information we have, the stability of the gods of this era is not as good as that of the Twelve Titans."

"Therefore, the conclusion is tentatively vague."

"In the ideal future, the people should be the main force, with the gods and intelligent programs like us as the auxiliary."

The intelligent mechanical program gave a tentative and vague answer.

"That's good." Leader Ke Lian said with a smile.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the Demon Queen and others directly snatching the "fire".

They will not belong entirely to Ke Lian.

But at least, it won’t belong to the gods!
