Original God, but the real world

Chapter 217 216- Turning Point
Azar treats Jiang Qing as a normal person.

In Tartaglia's eyes, Jiang Qing seemed like a psychopath who acted illogically.

But after Void's analysis, Azar was convinced that Jiang Qing was a normal person.

He is just more greedy and a little more obsessed, but he is not a madman without logic.

On the contrary, he is more reasonable than anyone else.

I won't do anything that has no benefit. Things that seem risky actually have a certain degree of certainty, and at least I can get out of it safely.

This is the most normal greedy mortal.

If we have to say something unusual, we can only say that this person always reaps the fruits of victory in the end when taking risks.

This is a little bit unreasonable, but considering that the Fatui and Ying are assisting in every game, it is understandable.

So, would a purely ordinary person, a somewhat greedy person, betray the God who trusted him just because he believed in Azar's promise and left no chance for himself?
How can it be?

Betray God because you trust Azar?
Haven't you seen Nashida who was imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace?
Anyone who sees the god imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace will not have too high expectations of the bottom line of Xumi Sage.

He trusted Hazard too much, so Hazard became wary.

Narcida was speechless for a moment.

He realized that compared to these people, he was so sweet right now.

Even though he naturally possessed the ability to sense a person's consciousness, he still needed to hone his ability to stop doubting others due to excessive trust.

"There's no time."

"Since I am the god of Xumi, I must make saving Xumi my top priority."

“Maybe we can let go of those unnecessary thoughts.”

That's what Nashida thought.

Hazard was unaware of this and continued to describe his inner vigilance.

"I believe Jiang Qing is not someone who easily trusts others," especially since this other person is me, "but he really chose to become your believer without hesitation and gave up the trust of General Lei Dian."

"The trust of any god is a rare treasure. He has already gained the general's trust, but it will be difficult for him to gain your trust."

"Even so, he chose your side without hesitation."

"I see." Nashida nodded. "That's why you've always been wary of Jiang Qing."

"You think he didn't abandon General Raiden's trust, but he knew from the beginning that even if he did so, General Raiden would still trust him."

Let’s learn from Hazard first.

Then... you can try to put it into practice with the help of Hazard.

"exactly."

Hazard is still very clear about his image.

In the eyes of Xumi scholars, his imprisonment of gods and even his god-making project can be regarded as a great cause for the Church of the Lord.

Objectively speaking, ever since the gods were imprisoned, the Decree House has been handed over to the rule of the Six Sages.

In a kingdom governed entirely by humans themselves, there will certainly be many people who are dissatisfied with the rule, but at least within the House of the Decrees, most of these scholars are beneficiaries of the rule of the Six Sages.

In Xumi's scholar society, others need to make way for the scholars.

But why should they pay for scholars?

No one is born with the spirit of sacrifice and giving.

Xumi's scholar society is, of course, due to the emphasis and ideas of the current Xumi ruling group, the Six Sages.

Without the Six Sages, the scholar society might still exist, but today’s collective scholars are definitely not superior.

Within the House of the Decrees, the benefits these scholars enjoy today are all based on the foundations laid by the Six Sages.

In front of outsiders, scholars should always know who gave them this status.

In addition, the value of deification for scholars is self-evident. If you flip through history casually, you can basically see it as the history of wars and rule of gods.

You ask me what humans are doing... cheering and recording history.

Except for the disaster period five hundred years ago, when the seven gods came to Kanreia, the seven countries temporarily lost their gods. The disaster during this period happened to break out simultaneously across the continent, so that people were forced to experience facing the disaster alone without the help of gods. For all the remaining periods, history can be regarded as the history of gods.

On this basis, looking across the continent, Hazard’s actions can be considered unique.

It's true that the Fatui made a great contribution here, but that's definitely not how the Six Sages advertised it.

If they were asked to express their opinions, it would definitely be the Fatui who helped out, which was equivalent to buying a place with money. The real technical strength was provided by the House of the Decree.

It's not a lie.

The materials were provided by the Fatui, but the design of the external armor and the extraction of the power of the Heart of God all relied on the Void.

As for the fact that the Void is actually a legacy of the Great Compassion Tree King, rather than the Institute’s own technology tree, that is another issue.

In short, for Xumi scholars, the six sages of all generations, especially the six sages of this generation, Azar, as the leader of the six sages, is of course a hero of the Xumi people.

But in the outside world, in the era when people served gods, he was a cunning villain and an extremely stupid fool who caused Xumi's current weakness.

Jiang Qing may not think so, but there is no doubt that he will not believe Hazard's bottom line.

If a person does not believe in your sincerity at all and knows that you may turn against him at any time, but is still willing to pay an extra price to cooperate with you, it cannot be just because the benefits are huge.

No matter how big the profit is, you have to be able to get it.

Most gamblers only look at the benefits and ignore the risks.

But Jiang Qing is not a pure gambler.

Rather, judging from the data alone, he is not a gambler at all.

Because he never lost, he won every time.

A person who can win 100% at the gambling table obviously has no gambling element in this game for him, it can only be said to be a cash-out game.

But who can win 100% at the gambling table of fate?

Hazard didn't know, he only knew that no matter how vigilant he was, it was never too vigilant.

He can't afford to lose.

What was originally thought to be a simple project of creating a god is constantly escalating.

The Fatui placed a huge bet: a Heart of God, a researcher at the level of a demon god, and a puppet on the way to becoming a god.

The alliance behind Jiang Qing, the God of Thunder who trusts him very much...

The situation has not stopped escalating, and Xumi, as the host, is finding it difficult to bear it.

Unexpectedly, the first one who couldn't afford to play was Xumi, who was the first to bear the trouble.

If I had known the situation would escalate to this extent, I would have never done such a thing as a deification project.

But it's too late to get out now.

When the gears mesh, you either continue to move forward with the destiny or be crushed by destiny.

Hazard felt a little regretful.

Nashida closed her eyes and thought.

Gods should not invest too much trust. If this is not Jiang Qing, but the Eightfold Son of God, then it can be understood that General Lei Dian can trust the other party unconditionally.

But it is impossible for Jiang Qing to have the status of the Eightfold Son of God.

That was the followers who had been accompanying Lei Dianying five hundred years ago, when he was still weak, so Lei Dianying and the Puppet General could both trust Yae Shenzi.

It is not an absolute trust without reason, but it is not worth doubting.

Even if he makes the move of choosing himself, it is still not worth doubting... Will he repay his actions on time?
But this is not enough.

Jiang Qing's method of gaining Nashida's trust was simple and crude. He simply gave up his defense and allowed Nashida to observe him.

Nashida refused at the time, but she was willing to believe Jiang Qing because of this.

If General Thunder still thinks Jiang Qing is not worthy of suspicion even though Jiang Qing chose Nashida...Is He watching?
“I can see the desert from here, but that’s my gift.”

Nashida knew very well that even though He was a weak god in Azar's eyes, His talent was absolutely special.

It's General Raiden now...

"If it's a fight, I'm certainly no match for Him, but even for me, it's impossible for me to see what's happening in the castle tower from Xumi City."

Narcida pursed her lips.

If Jiang Qing knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world and had to rely on ridiculous reasons like "he is my friend and I should trust him", he must have at least saved Baalzebub's life to be able to gain this level of trust.

Trust, friendship and even admiration, these all need to be understood.

He was just in the castle tower and had no idea what Jiang Qing had done. He relied entirely on Jiang Qing to provide intelligence unilaterally. This was not worthy of too much trust.

So He must know everything Jiang Qing has done since arriving at Sumeru.

From this perspective, the only answer is that General Lei Dian is in Xumi City.

Jiang Qing accepted His divine power. As long as He was willing, within a certain range, He would certainly be able to peek into everything Jiang Qing had experienced.

This so-called certain range varies from person to person, but Nashida is not optimistic about the abilities of other gods in this regard.

"How do we win this?"

He shook his head, and for a rare moment he felt that he could stop thinking and have a good rest.

Reality has taught him that once he becomes weak, he will be crushed repeatedly by fate.

Nashida had already accepted this truth, but she never expected that reality would repeatedly tell her this truth.

He was about to be crushed by fate again.

No, you can't do this!
I have to do something.

Narcida was serious.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness escaped from the Jingshan Palace.

At this moment, Hazard also perfected his plan.

The so-called creating conflicts, of course, must start from the point where both parties are willing to argue.

He has found the angle to cut in.

Creating conflicts is a very simple method, but if you want to do it well, you must first hide yourself.

Because creating conflicts to buy time for oneself and then swallow up both sides of the conflict is usually a method of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger.

But generally, the two fighting parties will choose to unite and clear out the third-party crowd first to ensure that the fruits of victory will not fall into the hands of others because of the fighting between the two sides.

This is an old but effective method, but most methods still depend on one's own ability.

Being able to see it is one thing, being able to avoid it is another.

A big part of Hazard's reliance is that all of his cards are currently played out, and they are very weak.

Although it is said that they have united to eliminate the third party and avoid victory falling into the hands of others.

However, if the third party's strength is neither too strong nor too weak, and it is not worth paying special attention to, but it will suffer losses if it takes action first, then the situation will be deadlocked.

It's not worth the effort to be alert.

This embarrassing situation will cause both sides to unconsciously ignore the counterattack of the House of Lords.

Being underestimated is an important reason why most Jedi comeback plans can be successful.

Hazard got the prerequisites and intended to create conflict.

Simply put, he had to delay the experiment.

There is no doubt that the moment when Sanbing ascends to the throne is when all the calculations of the three parties come to an end and the bell for the official competition rings.

Before that, Hazard felt that he had to solve the dead zone problem where the forest was located first.

Everyone needs time, although the longer the delay, the more prepared the enemy will be.

But after Hazard thought about it carefully, he decided that this was not a problem he needed to worry about.

Because even if they succeed suddenly now and catch everyone off guard, the Ministry of Education will most likely not win.

Since [sudden incidents] cannot lead to victory, it is better to delay time and arrange more things safely.

······
On the other side, Jiang Qing was still enduring Dardalia's endless dissatisfaction.

"We are just here to carry out a mission. There is no need for you to make such a big deal, right?"

"We agreed that these were just tricks played by ordinary people, but you actually asked the gods for help?"

It’s unreasonable and I can’t afford to play with it!

"Yes, you are right." Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly, and then said, "But this matter is really not my fault."

It's like talking in vain.

"Look, you prepared the experiment, right? You chose the venue, so that's okay, right?"

"How do I know that you just happened to use the [Heart of God] and the [Scattered Soldiers] that match the Heart of God to carry out this so-called plan to ascend to the gods?"

His expression was somewhat helpless, and he argued seriously: "It is because the things you use have a great relationship with Him that He came to Xumi City in person."

"Are you trying to say that it was He who told you what happened in Xumi City?" Dadalia pointed to the sky with a strange expression.

"Didn't you see the future yourself, tell that person, and finally lead Him here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, my friend?" Jiang Qing said with a wry smile, "Predicting the future? Even if there is such an ability in this world, it is impossible for me to have it, right?"

"You don't know my origin?"

Please, old friend, don’t you know where my family comes from?
When it comes to family genealogy, maybe you know my ancestors better than I do.

This is a pure and authentic mortal family.

Where can I find the ability to predict the future?

It can't all be due to genetic mutation, right?

Tartaglia hesitated to speak.

This is really... a reason that cannot be refuted.

Although after calculating based on the data, both the Fatui and the Council of Eminence ultimately believed that Jiang Qing was most likely able to predict the future.

But just as Jiang Qing said, this ability is really not something a mortal should be qualified to use.

Miracles all come at a price. How can a mortal foresee the future time and time again?

The data will only provide the most likely one, but this is only a possibility, not a certainty.

In other words, it was really because of the use of the God of Thunder's Heart and the puppet made by the God of Thunder that attracted the interest of the God of Thunder?

Should I say it's bad luck or is it destined to happen?

It's really incomprehensible.

"What do you think is the chance of me being able to escape unscathed if I lead the Fatui away now?"

Tartaglia sighed.

There is no need to be stubborn about this.

He could try with another opponent, but this time General Lei Dian has come to Xumi City in person, so why should he be stubborn?
Do you expect the Doctor to defeat Him?

With the Doctor's ability, the Fatui don't need to make any plans. The top three can just lead Winter to fight all the way.

Planning has absolute value because it is intended to make up for the indefiniteness of operating space.

"It's not necessary to put it like this."

Jiang Qing spoke earnestly.

The trouble that was bothering Hazard was that he immediately planned to withdraw when he heard about the appearance of Lei Dianying.

Tartaglia was very confident that he could persuade his colleagues to leave - except for the stragglers who were nailed in the mecha and unable to escape.

During this period, the scattered soldiers had no way to escape.

The doctor and the sages studied how to deal with the burden on the Heart of God, and the final solution they chose was to strengthen the skirmishers.

But instead of strengthening the skirmisher itself, he was given external armor, and the Gundam took on the burden of the Heart of God.

This is a hacky method, but it works, and if it works, it's a good method.

Of course, taking shortcuts comes at a price. The ordinary "bill" is fine, but the most important thing is... the skirmishers and the external armor are connected together, and they cannot escape easily.

In other words, he is currently only connected to the shell and cannot escape.

This wasn't a problem at all.

The deification project was actually carried out under the Jingshan Palace, with the Fools and Sages jointly responsible for security issues. The scattered soldiers could not leave their armor, but they also did not need to leave.

He just needs to prepare for his ascension to godhood.

But now...times have changed.

Tartaglia sighed without any mercy in his heart.

There is nothing we can do about this.

If even other gods choose to intervene, the task will be too difficult.

The Fatui considered the bad consequences of the mission, but the worst consequence would be giving up some interests at the national level.

Taking away the Heart of God would be targeted by the Knights, the Seven Stars, and the like, and it was normal to then be severely punished.

Of course, Zhidong had already prepared himself for the possibility of being betrayed, so he was able to hold on.

But I didn't expect it could be much worse.

As expected, reality is more bizarre than planned. I originally thought it was a fight between humans, and it should be no problem relying on the winter technology tree and the Northland Bank.

The result is a war between gods.

General Raiden chased him directly from Inazuma to Sumeru.

Tartaglia sighed, feeling a little tired.

He already wanted to pose.

But Jiang Qing couldn't just accept it.

If the Fatui started now, the final beneficiary would not be him, but only the House of the Decrees.

This result is a little too ridiculous.

"The general's purpose is not to take back the Heart of God." Jiang Qing picked up the wine glass and drank it all, calming himself down. "He didn't come here because of the situation in Xumi."

Such a strong reaction... Perhaps I underestimated the influence of the Seven Gods.

Jiang Qing corrected his mistake and patched it at the same time.

From the player's perspective, it is actually difficult to feel any pressure from the gods currently appearing.

The old man was barely under some pressure, but He showed up and arranged his own funeral.

Nashida is the god who best fits the identity of a god, but she is also the god with the least power of a god.

Wendy...tsk.

Lei actually has the majesty of a god, but the subsequent plot directly reveals his habits such as being a stay-at-home, loving sweets, and reading light novels, which makes it impossible to inspire any awe.

Jiang Qing also respected the gods, but his respect came entirely from their pure power.

And Tartaglia's awe comes from the history accumulated by the Seven Rulings over thousands of years.

Not everyone is like the lady, who slaps people in the face the first time.

Tartaglia had just been taught a lesson by Lei Dianying, so he had even less courage at this moment.

There was still an error, but fortunately it was not a serious one.

Jiang Qing murmured in his heart.

This mistake was pure common sense, and he would occasionally make it.

"Really?" After hearing the good news, Tartaglia had to communicate enthusiastically with the enemy whom he wanted to stab to death at the beginning.

"You have already learned about the two Thunder Generals from the scattered soldiers. I can tell you now that the one who is controlling the body now is the Puppet General."

There is no name yet. Jiang Qing’s thoughts wandered a little.

Need a reminder of Him?
"The puppet general usually won't allow him to leave Inazuma."

Tartaglia is also a smart man.

It is generally not allowed, that is to say there are special circumstances, right?
If it is not to interfere with Xumi, then it is - a scattered soldier!
That's it!

Did he leave something on the scattered soldiers' bodies or on the Heart of God, and with the help of these things he spied on the God-making project, and therefore rushed to Xumi?
There must be something else you want to do, right?
Tartaglia didn't think about it, but looked at Jiang Qing.

Why ponder it alone when there is someone who obviously knows the inside story right in front of you?
It is enough to record the conversation first and then hand it over to the think tank for analysis.

As for saying that he came to distinguish the conspiracy and lies in Jiang Qing’s words... forget it.

If he had this talent, he wouldn't have spent so much Mora on Zhongli.

"As an executive officer, you probably also know the identities of the stragglers."

The conversation returned to a familiar place, which was also the place Jiang Qing had prepared from the beginning. He felt a little relaxed, but his face still showed helplessness at being forced by the gods.

"The Scattered Soldiers were puppets He created, but were abandoned in the beginning because they were unable to bear the Heart of God."

"Later, he joined the Fatui, and because of his experience with Inazuma, he did some things."

Jiang Qing mentioned it in passing, and Tartaglia knew what he was trying to do with his knees.

This person is quite talented when it comes to foul mouth, and his actions are no less impressive than his words. He is a man of his words.

Most likely, it caused the death of many people.

This should not come as a surprise.

Tartaglia asked himself, among all the executives, he was the one who was most like a normal person.

He is only interested in competing with the strong, but if it is for the sake of a plan, he can accept the involvement of innocent people.

It's not surprising that those more abnormal executives would do anything if they were seeking revenge.

In other words, the God of Thunder is coming here to avenge his own people?
Is he such a responsible God?

"But why would a god who is so responsible and cares so much about his people agree to decrees like the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order?" Tartaglia couldn't control herself.

The Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order were promoted by Kujo Takayuki after the Fatui paid money to persuade him.

But to put it bluntly, if General Raiden does not agree, not to mention that Kujo Takayuki will not be able to insist, even if he brings the Three Magistrates together, in the end the Three Magistrates will be dismissed together and replaced by someone else.

Humans can influence, but to say that they can make decisions is overestimating their status.

"Because He truly believes that the Inazuma people under His protection have the most secure future."

Jiang Qing said softly, "There are many factors to judge happiness, but because He is the God of Inazuma, the happiness He believes in is what Inazuma people need and what they should pursue."

"I understand." Tartaglia accepted it readily.

Although I don’t know what the relationship is between closing the country and hunting for the Eye of God and the happy life of the people, but since the gods have thought so and confirmed it, it must be a happy future.

Do you feel unhappy?

Well, you think so first, your opinion doesn’t matter anyway.

"So, this is revenge?" Tartaglia breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, if one of his colleagues were sacrificed, the matter would be over.

If you ask me whether Tartaglia is reluctant to leave... the answer is definitely not.

If you ask yourself, none of us are good people.

Since you have done bad things, killing and being killed are the norm.

There's nothing to sympathize with.

Besides, it is much better for only one person to die than for the God of Thunder to unreasonably bring peace to Xumi City and let everyone die.

"It's not revenge."

Jiang Qing shook his head. "If we look back four hundred years ago, the Doctor and the Harlequin had arrived at Ta'ersha and planned the first Ta'ersha crisis."

"It was during that time that the scattered soldiers were tricked by the Doctor, and then joined the Fatui and became the current executive officer."

Do you know everything that happened four hundred years ago?
Tartaglia wanted to punch the man who said "I'm just a mortal, how can I predict the future" to the ground.

You bastard, you're not pretending anymore, right?
This kind of thing was definitely not told to him by General Lei Dian.

If the God of Thunder knew this, he would not have given the Doctor the chance to leave Inazuma.

If we didn't find it at that time, it would be even more difficult to find any trace of it later.

What's more, it has been four hundred years now, who can still remember the truth?

If Jiang Qing had not been involved, Dadalia would not believe it.
