V8.Chapter 68

Pure black or white is not a good thing for the whole world.

It was as if Sauron would admire the lofty beliefs of the Lord of Radiance, but he would never agree with his ideas. Even the daughter of the Lord of Radiance, the goddess of agriculture who inherited the priesthood of the Mother Earth, could not agree with this. If this is not the case, the goddess of agriculture will not have other components belonging to her own pantheon.

The devil is always so careful.

After the tentative attack began to be counterattacked by the Church of God, their small movements immediately decreased a lot.

Unlike the ancient gods of the elements, the churches of other gods are basically on the material plane, and the material plane is an important source of their believers, so the gods remain consistent in the general direction, whether good or evil, that is It is absolutely impossible to let the material plane fall into the control of the devil.

It was a quiet night.

Sauron did not know when he became more and more accustomed to stargazing at night, because this could inform him of the current state of the gods.

The stars in the sky are dim.

Although there were not many battles during this time, there were still gods with weak divine powers falling one after another, such as Yurag-Lian, the halfling god of death.

He has fallen.

Without any signs, his fall seems to be related to the god of death, Naraku.

Death-Narro is known as the enemy of good, the hater of life, the messenger of darkness, the king of gloom, and the reaper of flesh and blood.

The belief in the material plane is mainly distributed in the desert area. He is not a god who uses the material plane as the main source of belief. Nailuo also has its own church in other planes. Just like almost most of the drow elves believe in Rose, the queen of spider gods, if there are traces of drow elves in other planes, they will also bring Rose's faith there.

Priesthood plunder is the main theme of the Holocaust of the Saints.

As a god of medium power, as long as Death-Narro is given a chance, he can kill other gods who are in charge of the priesthood of death.

Obviously.

He seized this opportunity, but it also angered the main god of the halfling pantheon, perhaps because the main belief is not in the material plane, and Naraku is probably not too afraid of this.

As for the traces of other gods, it is not very clear, but it is said that there are traces of the god of crocodiles in the northwest.

………………

Modo City has been like a solid fortress.

The bottomless abyss had entered an important buffer period, and Sauron had enough time to do something else before Yenogul, the god of gnolls, attacked again.

His destination is the mechanical realm of clock Nirvana.

A world that had been planned for a long time until today, and more importantly, he learned about the corpse of the ancient god from the mouth of the githyanki. This was an important source of divinity for Sauron, and a well-preserved corpse of an ancient god might bring him a lot of divinity.

"Astral Teleportation!"

With the brilliance of divinity, Sauron's figure appeared in the astral world.

The knowledge of the planes of the gods is innate, and he easily locked the mechanical realm of the nirvana of the clock, and then used his divine power to transmit it to the vicinity of this plane.

[Mechanical Realm of Nirvana of Watches and Clocks]!

This is a plane of ultimate order.

It is the birthplace of all planes of order.

It is the working machine of multiverse tuning.

It is said that its birth is related to the original [time] law of the multiverse, which represents the highest principle of order. Looking down on the entire mechanical realm from the star realm, its shape is like a water drop-shaped clock, and it has an obvious tree-shaped field. [Note: The mechanical realm is occasionally called the time tree. 】

In the realm of machinery, each law constitutes an independent kingdom of gears, and all operations are turned according to their own principles. The various cogs acted on the huge amount of computational data, except for those puzzling legal functions, even the various divine powers could not understand the effect of these data. The mechanical realm is the most straight and flat of all the outer planes. It is like a huge machine created by an unknowable existence. It operates according to specific laws. This plane is not as natural as other worlds, because it can be seen at a glance. Feel a very strong structural breath.

It is said that there is a great power called the [Lord of Time], and they may still exist or may have died.

At least the gods have never seen them, and the mechanical realm of clock Nirvana is said to be their masterpiece, and generations of arcanists have tried to find the most original mystery from it.

Sauron entered the mechanical realm.

There is not much difference from other planes. The mechanical realm has unique gravity characteristics, which means that the gravity of the entire mechanical realm is different. Some places are close to the gravity of the material plane, while the gravity of some places is different. It has reached more than ten times that of the material plane. If there is no legendary level strength, it is extremely difficult to even walk in some parts of the mechanical realm.

This is why Sauron has only entered the mechanical realm until now.

Although it is related to time, the entire plane is like a clock, but in fact the time passing of the mechanical realm is the same as other planes, and there is no sign of time passing too fast or too slow.

In theory, the space of this plane is infinite.

Although the gears of the mechanical realm are limited, the characteristic of this plane is that it can expand infinitely. It is composed of countless gears, and the smallest gear has the size of a standard island. I don't know how amazing the power is to create such a plane.

Large and small gears and devices constitute a clock, and the entire clock is about the same size as the Asian continental shelf.

Some useless gears are floating around the mechanical realm, and there are some void creatures living on them, which are full of hostility to outsiders. This is a plane that completely distorts the concept of reality. If it is a visitor from other material planes, I am afraid that everything will subvert their past understanding.

The entire mechanical realm has been permanently spelled.

At least weaker divine powers are required to change the mechanical realm, while mortal objects require the use of spells and physical effects to change some things with difficulty.

The characteristic of the mechanical realm is time.

But no one knows how to trigger it, so this plane has no elemental and energy properties.

There is a strong tendency to order in the Automata, and anyone with a non-lawful alignment suffers a -2 negative effect on all Charisma, Wisdom, and Intelligence. In other words, this plane is very extreme, and it is very unfriendly to both the neutral camp and the chaotic camp!

The magical properties of the mechanical realm are normal, and most of the magic can be cast normally.

Where Sauron reaches is a big cog.

The area is almost equivalent to a kingdom, and there is a portal within his sight. These ancient portals are scattered around the mechanical realm, some are damaged and some are still running, and some ancient constructive life is still maintaining the mechanical In order to ensure the normal operation of the environment, they will repair these portals regularly, and the aborigines only connect through the gears before the portals reach other gears.

The portal here connects the outer plane and the astral space. In half of the cases, there are green lights near the portal, similar to gears, and slowly rotating rings, which represent the purpose, direction and position of the portal, which must be Those who have more than 350 points of knowledge and who have studied the knowledge of the astral world and the knowledge of the mechanical realm at the same time can interpret these words and understand where this portal leads. At the same time, many portals are opened regularly according to the law of time. The entire mechanical realm is like a huge clock. When the operation reaches a certain time, some portals will be opened. Once it manifests, the portal opening will usually remain for at least an hour and possibly up to twenty-four hours.

It is extremely dangerous to teleport casually in the mechanical realm!

The inhabitants of Mechanic built their homes on cogs that swirled in the void. There is usually no wildlife on the surface of the gear, but colonists from various planes including the Main Plane, the Nine Hells, the Heavenly Mountain, and other planes have transformed the surface of the gear they are on into various labyrinths, gardens or nature. protected area.

in other words.

The entire mechanical realm is a huge mechanical clock. Most of the animals and plants, and even the soil on the surface, were brought here by residents who had migrated here for a long time.

Almost all of the aborigines living in the mechanical realm are not complete real creatures, they are construct life!

certainly.

Here's another very dangerous creature, the Fumie ants!

Their ant nests run through the entire mechanical realm, and these ant-like creatures seek out all the colonies they can see, and then, like worker bees, swallow everything that lives on them into the ant nest, and let these things subject to the laws of their queen.

This branch of the Astral Zerg is the number one killer when it comes to adventures in the Automata!

soon.

Sauron encountered one of them, and along with the open soil, a creature that looked like a giant ant appeared in front of him. After seeing Sauron, it panicked and seemed to want to drill back into the ground immediately.

But Sauron would not give it this chance.

Along with a flaming arrow, Sauron directly nailed it to the ground. The Formi ants are very troublesome creatures, and often letting one go may attract a large group.

Mechanic has a small number of petitioners.

The probability of encountering them is not high, as if there are very few gods who attach the kingdom of God to this plane.

Vision is normalized in Mechanism, the plane's daytime is illuminated by a sudden light from the void for 12 hours, and then completely dark for 12 hours. Hearing is just as normal here, although the rumbling bass from cog-to-cog rotation is sometimes heard at the edge of the ground. [Note: The hearing and vision of some planes will be distorted. 】

There is a building called the Nest Cog.

They are the base of the Formi ants, and nest cities of excellent architecture exist on the cog surfaces and their colonies. Each colony cog retains thousands of workers, warriors, and foremen, as well as a dozen or more Formie guards. In any case, each cog will have only one queen, and their order is the absolute law of the nest cog.

A very special existence must be mentioned here.

That is the [Mother of Ten Thousand Ants]!

In the mechanical realm, there is an empire ruled by the Formi ants. They are constantly building colonies on the gears of the mechanical realm, and there are a large number of Formi ants living on them.

And at the heart of the Formi ant empire, surrounded by all the important colonial cogs, at its core lies the [Mother of Ten Thousand Ants]. All Formians believe that the cog on which the Mother of All Ants is located is at least three thousand miles in diameter, and that this cog is the core of all mechanical cogs and that moves the other cogs along with it. Whether in fact or mere belief, on both sides of the core cog are covered with stately ant-hive cities, and the surface is shrouded in godlike light. [Mother of Ten Thousand Ants] Claims to be a middle-level god, although this statement is difficult to verify, the thirty-three most senior Fuyi Queens follow the Mother of Ten Thousand Ants at all times, protecting the ruler of the ant tribe security.

The Mother of Ten Thousand Ants is Sauron's greatest threat in the mechanical realm!

This pseudo-god, who claimed to be a middle-class god, had an inestimable strength, and alarming it would bring Sauron a lot of trouble.

The mechanical realm of clock nirvana is one of the ancient battlefields of the gods of order, so there have been many corpses of ancient gods here in history, and at the same time, another special creature [the faceless one] was born!

Most of the Faceless roam the astral world.

However, the chances of encountering them in the mechanical realm are also very high. These terrifying divine creatures are born from the flesh and blood of the ancient god's corpse. No one knows the law of their birth, but if the faceless is born, this ancient god floating in the star realm The corpse will gradually die.
