Chapter 629: Godless City
To the surprise of Yihou and Fengxi, the legendary "Godless Land" was not as desolate as they imagined.
This is the cemetery of gods, but a paradise of life.
If it weren't for the stars shining above our heads day and night, always symbolizing the power of the gods covering this land.
When they first saw this so-called "land without gods", Yihou and Fengxi even wondered if they had come to some highly developed technological world.
Silvery-white metal covered the ground, and drones were always hanging high in the sky.
This is a city that eliminates "faith" with "knowledge", a civilized city built on the bones of gods.
"Are you shocked?"
"When I first came here, I had the same reaction as you."
Standing on Feng Xi's shoulder, Herbis smiled with emotion.
"Although the knowledge brought by the gods is 'toxic', the value of the knowledge itself is unquestionable."
"Using the knowledge from the gods, the rebels of this world built the first 'city without gods'."
"Every floor in this city is paved with metal that can block divine power."
“See those high-flying drones?”
"That's not an ordinary drone. It's a special attack drone developed specifically for 'Faith'."
"It is precisely because of the real-time monitoring of those drones that the faith and power of the gods have never been able to truly invade this city..."
It has to be admitted that Herbis's introduction did make the two understand the uniqueness of this city.
Isolating divine power, rejecting faith, and not having much value in itself...
Eventually, this "godless city" stood in this special world full of gods, and became the tomb of gods where those gods abandoned the corpses of their own kind.
It was through the uniqueness of this city that Herbis successfully cut off the gazes of those gods who were still spying on him.
Hiding in such a city isolated from divine power and faith meant that even Herbis himself was not clear about his current situation.
"They...are they going to let us in now?"
Getting closer and closer to the "City Without God", Yi Hou saw the towering giant mecha.
Although it is a giant mecha built with high technology, the image of the mecha is closer to everyone's stereotype of a god.
——Green face, fangs, solemn and majestic.
Just like the two generals Heng and Ha and the four heavenly kings in front of the temple, they use their ferocious appearance to intimidate those who have bad intentions.
"They are gods. They are all gods!"
Also staring at the giant mecha, Feng Xi noticed another difference.
Those giant mechas are not purely man-made creations, they are clearly living beings.
"You look at it very carefully."
"They are the guardians of the 'Godless City' and are also a type of artificial life created using biological and mechanical technology."
"They will identify and judge every outsider who wants to enter the 'Godless City'."
As if to confirm Herbis's words, the huge mecha suddenly moved.
The next second, dozens of scanners were turned on on the surface of the suspected helmet, which performed a comprehensive and detailed scan of Yihou, Fengxi, Herbis and the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp like eyes.
Huh! When they were about to be exposed, Herbis suddenly flapped his wings.
A cloud like smoke and dust instantly enveloped the few people, blocking the scan of the giant mecha at once.
"Let's go! It can't recognize us now."
After hearing what Herbis said, Yi Hou, who was always cautious, was still hesitating, but Feng Xi next to him had already taken a step forward.
Beep!
Accompanied by a crisp low hum.
The giant mecha did not recognize Feng Xi's identity, nor did it make any targeted attacks.
Seeing this, Yihou believed what Herbis said.
But even though he believed it, he still couldn't help but quickly walk to Feng Xi's side and said with a complaining look on his face.
"Do you really believe what that guy said?"
"Aren't you afraid that this guardian might actually attack you?"
Feng Xi curled his lips slightly and said calmly.
"Our mission this time is doomed to fail anyway, so why should we worry so much?"
"At worst, you can just not go into the city, and go back to hand in the mission?"
Hearing this, Yi Hou was speechless for a long time, then he turned his head and changed the subject awkwardly.
"How did you do this? Why were you able to deceive this guard?"
With an expression that showed he was enjoying the fun, Herbis explained with a smile.
"Although they are called artificial life, the intelligence of these guards is not much higher than that of plants..."
"The creators of this city were probably afraid that these guards would get out of control, so they only implanted the most basic recognition and combat programs in them."
"Unfortunately, those so-called 'identification' programs are based on knowledge of existing gods."
"And I have never disseminated my knowledge and beliefs to anyone from the beginning to the end, so it is naturally impossible for them to recognize and decipher my abilities."
After a brief pause, Herbis continued.
"In fact, the reason why this city has been able to exist until now is simply because the gods need a place to bury the corpses of their own kind."
"These so-called 'recognition' systems are simply not defenseless against any deity who cares."
"Just like the security system of your Sky City, before the birth of the new god, it was also unable to protect against the apostles of Metaot."
"As a true high-dimensional life form, the perspective of gods has long surpassed the cognition of normal creatures."
"Take me for example. Even though I have lost most of my strength now..."
"But as long as I still have a high-dimensional perspective, I can easily switch the positions of your brain and heart, and you won't have any means of counterattack."
"This is the power of God, an ability that cannot be described in words that you can understand."
As Herbis spoke, he slowly spread out his palm.
And in the palm of Herbis's hand, there lay a compressed ten-tailed dragon carp.
"Ah? When?"
It was not until this time that Yihou noticed that the ten-tailed dragon carp that had been flying around him had disappeared out of thin air.
There was no fluctuation in time and space, nor was any special ability used...
Herbis just briefly jumped out of the perspective of this dimension and "stole" the ten-tailed dragon carp without anyone noticing.
The moment Herbis "stole" the ten-tailed dragon carp, the existence of the dragon carp itself disappeared from this world.
Even a demigod who has mastered the power of time and space could not observe what happened at the moment the ten-tailed dragon carp disappeared.
