Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 543: Calming the Machine Soul
At this time, not only do prayers receive no response, but divine magic has also become unusable. Many priests in the temple try their best to please the gods every day in order to regain divine magic and the gods' attention.

But that is impossible. After all, the gods have fallen, and something that does not exist cannot respond to you.

Since the gods no longer responded to believers, many less devout believers even chose to leave the church.

When you had magic before, we were friends of life and death. Now that you are no longer a Dogecoin person, I’m sorry, but it seems like we are not very familiar with each other.

Don't blame everyone for being so realistic. After all, there are many gods, and they compete for the jobs. If you don't have any magical powers, you are of no use to me. So why should I believe in you?
As time went by, the loyalty of some devout believers began to waver. It was not just because the magic was gone, but because the more devout the believers were, the more they felt that they might have been abandoned by God for no reason. This huge psychological gap was difficult to accept, and many of them committed suicide.

Logically speaking, only Li Chengxi's priest should be able to cast divine spells now. Could it be that the Spider Goddess has not been defeated either?
According to the information that Orday heard from Li Chengxi, even Pharasma, the Mother of Souls, one of the oldest goddesses, was defeated. Compared with this old man, the Spider Goddess is nothing but a piece of shit. There is no reason for her to stay on the throne.

Orday raised her head hard, trying to see more clearly, but the distance was still a bit far, and Orday's height was not much of an advantage, so she couldn't see the movements of the drow priest clearly.

After hesitating for a moment, Orde hooked his finger, and a peeping magic eye quietly flew over the head of the drow priest. Now Orde saw clearly that this group of priests seemed to be casting spells, but in fact they were just tearing up spell scrolls.

Magic can be made into scrolls, and of course divine spells can also be made. Although priests and mages have different ways of casting spells, both require the consumption of their own magic power. Therefore, making scrolls of divine spells for emergency use is a skill that priests must master.

To put it more clearly, these drow priests are using their old stock to pretend they can still cast spells.

As I said before, the drow are too ambitious. Once the drow men find out that the female priests have lost their spellcasting abilities and the favor of the Spider Goddess, do you think the men will turn the tables and become the masters?

Once they lose the power to maintain the social structure, the male drow with greater physical ability and martial power will inevitably drag all the female priests above them to feed the dogs.

It can even be said that this kind of rebellion is a tradition of the drow, but in the past, because of the Spider Queen, male drow did not dare to act rashly.

That's why these priests secretly tore up the scrolls to maintain the appearance that they could still cast divine spells.

Alde had a strong urge to shout to the crowd below, "Those black old ladies can no longer use magic," which might only muddy the waters further.

Fortunately, she held back. After all, after shouting like that, it was unclear whether the male drow would stab the female priests. Alday would probably immediately become the most handsome guy in the audience.

There are actually some overlaps between divine arts and magical arts. This is because the earliest magic was imitated from divine arts. Therefore, wizards are also called spell thieves, people who steal the laws of God.

But this does not mean that a mage can imitate all divine arts. Divine arts are good at buffing their own people, which is difficult to imitate with magic.

The drow priests acted decisively. If they didn't act, they would do it at all. If they did, they would spend a lot of money.

Spell after spell was cast on the desperate drow warriors below, and debuff spells were cast on the heads of the Glow Ion Yin Order and the Wild Bear Mercenaries.

Originally, alchemical creatures are not very afraid of debuffs. For example, golems are almost immune to this and can only be interfered with by control spells.

But the magic casing was too cheap. It immediately became restricted under the influence of divine magic, and the advantage in numbers could not be fully utilized.

The Wild Bear Mercenaries did not just watch. The black-robed man who was busy holding the ceremony immediately threw spells at the drow under the protection of the mercenaries. Fire, frost, lightning, strong acid and sound waves, all kinds of energy spells exploded on the battlefield. No matter who was blown up, as long as it was not their own people, it was a bloody profit.

Using divine arts and magic at the same time, the result was that the Glowing Ion Yin Xiu Society, which had once suppressed both sides, was now being attacked from both sides and was almost beaten back into the portal.

Having said that, generally speaking, any monastic order is supposed to be the believers of a certain god. Even if the gods have fallen and can no longer grant divine spells, can't you have some stock of divine spell scrolls like the drow priests?
It turned out that they couldn't. Even though they were being beaten and the magic casing was scattered all over the floor, they couldn't find a scroll or anything like that.

So these guys are even more puzzling than the drow priests, and Alde has no idea about them.

However, if the current situation continues, it may end up as a 1V1 battle between the Drow and the Wild Bear Mercenaries, and the Glow Ion Yin Xiu Society will most likely be kicked out.

However, the facts have proved that although they do not have the scroll of divine magic, they have more than just this trump card.

To the left and back of the three of them, a large shadow suddenly appeared in one of the purple-black cracks below the basin. A strange machine was pushed out of the portal by the prosthetic limb enthusiasts of the Glow Ion Yin Order.

This machine looks like some kind of artillery. Parts like the barrel and the gun body are easily recognizable, but it has eight mechanical legs underneath. Huge coils wrap the entire gun mount layer by layer, and dense cables connect the barrel to the breech block.

It is roughly the size of an ox cart, but if the length of the gun barrel is taken into account, it is much larger than an ox cart.

This is not the strangest part. You pull out a cannon and just fire it. What is even more confusing is that behind the breech block there is a member of the Glowing Ion Yin Order wearing a golden red robe. He holds a portable incense burner in his hand and burns incense and prays while shaking it towards the breech block.

Not only did Aurday and the others who were at the scene feel it was strange, but Li Chengxi who was watching the show through the screen also felt it was strange.

What is this? Burning incense and praying to appease the machine spirit, right?
You know what, you really don't say it, it seems that the machine soul is really happy.

The member of the Glowing Ion Yin Order squatted behind the breech block and burned incense and prayed while the coils on the mount of the cannon in front of him lit up with brilliant electric light.

The electric light was transmitted along a large piece of wire to every corner of the cannon, and finally, the cannon fired.

As the brightness of the electric current increased, the cannon let out a roar. It was impossible to see what kind of physical shell it was that easily tore a hole in the battlefield. Whatever touched the shell was turned into a ball of blood mist on the spot, and disappeared without a sound.

The shell itself became lodged in some of the rock faces, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and debris.

It looks like a lot of fun, but in fact, in terms of caliber, this gun is only about 20 to 30 millimeters. However, judging from the firing method, it doesn't seem like a pure gunpowder weapon. It has a kind of electromagnetic plus gunpowder gas mixed propulsion, so it has strong penetrating power.

Cannons of the same caliber are generally equipped on armored vehicles or aircraft on Earth and are not powerful enough.

But power can actually be made up for by quantity.

The electric arc covering the gun body not only did not decrease, but became brighter. Along with the shrill scream of the servo motor, the gun barrel actually turned, and shells swept towards the enemy camp like raindrops.

This is not a cannon that fires one shot at a time, but a machine gun that fires continuously!
