Stray Chapter 16: Out of the box
"The world will be judged!"
"God will save the world and save us!"
"Liars, all liars! What creators are all liars!"
The material plane in the simulated world began to turmoil, and countless people became hysterical, or fanatical, or resisted.
Some people firmly believe that the conversation that took place in front of the throne before is the divine will to guide the future direction of this world, an extremely sacred and unquestionable oracle entrusted to declare!
But there are also people who refuse to accept the fact that this ruthlessly shatters their past concepts, beliefs and all insistence, and hysterically dismisses it as a demon heresy, thinking that everything is a trick of the devil, an abyss demon who intends to blaspheme the church and Righteous God's crazy plan!
Maybe this is human nature, but this is the case with the people at the bottom. The eyes of the masses have never been sharp, but because they are groups, they are rabble, and their psychology, morality, and behavior in the state of agglomeration often show Out of the "blind", "impulsive", "fanatical", "gullible" characteristics.
That's it, there's a split within the whole religious belief.
Some people whose beliefs have collapsed and their ideas have been shattered have begun to attack churches in various countries and regions, and they belong to churches of different gods and beliefs; some people have shown unparalleled fanaticism and spontaneously organized various actions to defend the majesty of the gods they believe in.
Resistance and oppression, persecution and persecution, it is like the return of medieval witch hunts.
At the same time, there were obvious cracks in the interior of each kingdom and race. First, the religious beliefs of various races in various countries also penetrated deep into the political system. Therefore, the above turmoil has caused a direct and huge blow to the political system. .
Secondly, the insightful people among them have already noticed the coming huge storm. Compared with the previous war, conspiracy, rebellion, assassination, etc., a more terrifying and terrifying storm is sweeping. the entire Material Plane.
Although no one can know what happened before—
No one can overlook the whole world from a macro perspective, so as to know that the gods were directly swept away by the creator, swept off the throne of the kingdom of God, and fell into the mortal world... Except for being caught off guard, they suffered at the same time. A slap in the face of the gods themselves.
But since it is the ruling class that divides and rules the material plane, then there are naturally enough talents and resources.
Legendary mages, high-level warlocks, and stargazers and other prophetic professions of various races in various countries all happened in the material plane at the same time through the tomb of the previous scene. The so-called spectacular scene of daytime meteors has glimpsed part of the truth from it. .
However, everything has been overturned, because the war has already started, they can only choose to start the war, but they cannot decide to end it.
Even people of insight want to do their best to turn the tide and try to end the war before a world-class disaster, constrain resources as much as possible, and retain power... However, the enemy does not necessarily think so, whether it is war Opponents, or domestic political enemies.
You take a step back, they take a step forward, just like sharks who smell blood and go crazy, don't expect them to have any big picture or long-term vision... Maybe it's not that they don't know, but everyone thinks that others will focus on the big picture anyway. , so it doesn't matter if you overdo it yourself.
So it doesn't make any sense at all.
As a result, the war became more intensified, and the world, which was already in violent turmoil, was rapidly heading for destruction.
During this process, the gods who fell to the Material Plane also went mad. After they accepted the reality, the first thing they unanimously chose to do was to try their best to find those **** outsiders and smash them to pieces.
After all, if it wasn't for these damned guys, how could they have been swept away by the Creator's slap?
The gods who fell into the mortal world are still extremely powerful, and even professionals who have stepped into the legendary realm are nowhere near their hand. But everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with the power they had before, they have become very fragile now.
The link between and the kingdom of God is limited, and he cannot return to the upper planes, losing most of his divine power...
All of this has caused the gods who rarely have such an experience to have an extreme sense of fear and crisis. In such a state, the top power of the material plane is already qualified to hurt them, or even kill them.
Not to mention that other gods also fell into the mortal world - each **** became a threatened prey, and also a hunter who threatened other prey.
They can't fight against the unreasonable and noble existence, dare not speak out, they can only direct their anger and hatred at the group of so-called "outsiders", hoping to eradicate the culprits as soon as possible, so as to be able to Let yourself go back to the heavenly kingdom of stars.
Although the creator is not angry because of the variables, he is extremely tolerant to those outsiders. As long as they can show the corresponding measure, they can get everything they ask for.
However...how could the gods make them do!
The creator knocked them down from the sky, didn't it just test the mettle of those outsiders? In this case, they naturally have to do their best to perform, and...
Those outsiders who do not belong to this world have secrets hidden in their bodies, so that the gods can't help but covet.
The emergence of the Creator shattered not only the worldview and beliefs of mortals, but also the thoughts of these earthly gods who ruled the world in the past, especially this sudden catastrophe, which suddenly demoted them from the clouds to the mundane.
This makes the hearts of the gods even more chilled. They have always been high above and despised all things in the world. They have become accustomed to being a **** and are higher than all living beings, but they can't bear the reverse situation...
But the mighty power of the gods above the gods is the despair that they absolutely cannot resist.
So...
can't resist, you can only choose to escape! Escape this created world, escape the woven fate!

"The original plot line has completely collapsed..."
"It's a waste of our careful control technology before, we don't want to cause too much impact..."
"And the gods have now entered the material plane, and they are all coming for us..."
In the capital of a certain southern kingdom, the largest and newest giant steam machine factory built recently, the reunited team of lost people exchanged information with bitter faces.
Not long ago, the scene of being summoned by the real creator of this world was like a dream, which made them feel an extremely strong unreal feeling, but no matter what they said, they had to face reality now...
Compared to those who can only glimpse a corner of the future through side-by-side attacks, they are the ones who have faced the ins and outs of the whole thing, so they naturally know what kind of bad situation they and others will face next.
"Calm down, calm down..."
The young captain rubbed his temples with a headache. His condition has not improved. Now everything is pixelated, and everyone is a square person. The underlying logic and laws of the entire world operate in an extremely intuitive and extremely absurd way. The form of expression presented in his field of vision.
"It's not too bad, we don't have to worry about it."
"Isn't the situation so bad?" Old Wang smiled bitterly, couldn't help but took out a cigarette and rubbed it in his hand, but it didn't light it, looking preoccupied.
"Of course, let's take a closer look. First of all, the most important point is that we have not really exposed from the beginning to the end. Even the gods can't spy on what happened in front of the Creator's seat. At most, we heard the dialogue. ..."
The young man looked around the crowd and said with a calm voice.
"And we have been very careful before, at least the technology we have come up with will not be too advanced. The technology of steam machinery has already had a foundation in this world, and things such as muskets can also be used The principle of the alchemy device is understood, but the idea is novel but not outstanding..."
"So we are still very well hidden now, as long as we are more careful in the future, we will not be exposed easily, so don't worry about the world's enemies, as long as no one knows that we are outsiders, then it is impossible to say that the whole world is is our enemy..."
He quickly calmed down and explained the current situation to his teammates one by one. Although he did not deny the bad situation that his team had fallen into, he also faced up to the advantages that he and others had.
"And there are those gods, haven't you discovered them? They are now more embarrassed than when they descended into the realm in the later period, and they are not as they were in the original plot. They have done everything well. I took the initiative to prepare and arrange..."
"So, even if they want to do something to us now, they are absolutely powerless and can't take care of themselves. At least for a long time in the future, the gods must first find a way to protect themselves and accumulate divine power. Or develop believers instead of rushing to do what to us..."
Therefore, as the youth just said, the situation is indeed not at its worst.
Although it is not like before, the general direction of the plot is under their control, but it will not be said that it is really impossible to play.
After listening to the captain's analysis, the hearts of the team stabilized in an instant. Everyone seemed to have found the backbone, and their hearts were much more settled... The problem has not been solved yet, it's just whether the people who lead the team have their own opinions. , which is the key point.
If the young man himself panicked, then the situation might be very different.
"It seems that we do still have room to operate, and time is on our side..." Old Wang took a long breath, but still felt bitterness in his mouth, and said helplessly: " What the **** does that great **** want to do, isn't this superfluous?"
"No, he's just fair...it's a test, and the opportunity is not just for us, but for the world."
The young man shook his head solemnly, and at the same time he couldn't help but flash a longing in his eyes.
How far is the power to easily create, destroy, and reset the entire world from you?
…
…
In the real world, the official forum has already exploded.
Countless players keep posting or replying on the forums, expressing their opinions, just like the Chinese New Year. The bombs disclosed in the game today blew them up. Many people log in to the forums as soon as they go offline. .
"It is suspected that the real mainline has opened? Does today's CG and cutscenes expand the world view, implying that there are still larger maps that have not yet been opened. Will it be to release more player places in the future and unlock those contents in advance? "
Some players made inferences based on the disclosed information, and at the same time expressed their hearts of choosing a wood to live in—
"Speaking of which, does the Creator have a church and faith, and can I become his believer? I don't want to stay in this church now..."
"Are the so-called "outsiders" referring to us players? But didn't the official have a tough attitude before, asking us to adopt a fully immersive game experience and fully play our own characters? Changed your mind now? "
There were also people who were quite dissatisfied, and began to criticize and write: "It's not that I said, it's a failure that a **** suddenly appeared and made him detect the existence of the player as if he were cheating! Trash! "
Although most people can't tell which position is responsible for various affairs such as programming, planning, art, and plot in a game, this does not prevent them from taking the dog decisively when they feel dissatisfied. Plan to worship God.
"I don't know if that's the case. I'll take a look first and see if there are any big bosses who try their best? Maybe revealing one's identity as an outsider can trigger some amazing plot lines? Are there any big bosses to try? ?"
There were also people who encouraged him, looking like he didn't take it too seriously.
"I'll put an eye on it too...but I've already learned so many painful lessons, no one must be this stupid? Last time, the player thought that players should be able to be unscrupulous and refuse to be restricted by the rules of the game. The idiot who recorded the video and wanted to kill NPCs indiscriminately has not been discharged from the hospital yet."
"I know that, I heard that the old man is miserable..."
Many people discussed it with great interest, but unconsciously, the consistent characteristics of human beings were brought into play, that is, crooked buildings.
was originally a discussion about whether the official secretly updated the version, released a new expansion, and opened up a new gameplay and story. It soon became a trend of discussing how many unbelievers were stupid.
But soon, another depth charge was released on the forum.
《Daytime Meteor? The gods have fallen? 》
As soon as this post appeared, it was always on the first page of the forum without being pushed down. The number of replies soared to thousands in just ten minutes, and was quickly refined by the administrator. pinned.
The content of the post is not much. It mainly tells about the phenomenon of meteor phenomena that occurred simultaneously in various places in the game world not long ago, and gave some prophecies of high-level lawyers and stargazers, indicating that it is suspected It is the turbulence of the kingdom of God and the sight of gods approaching the world. There are some fragmented records in ancient books.
The person who opened the post doesn't know how to get such a secret, but there are a lot of players, scattered all over the game world, and there will always be people who have some adventures. This situation is not surprising.
"A year of turbulence? The catastrophe of the saints? I'll go, do I want to play so big?"
"Is it possible for players to confer gods? Is the conferred gods gameplay implemented? Don't tell me about such a big expansion, just add more gameplay like church battles!"
"Isn't it possible to make players consecrated gods? If so, this version is too advanced. According to statistics, the most advanced players are only level 5, and they are still 15 levels away from the legendary realm..."
"It's only 15 levels short, isn't it a matter of catching up in minutes?"
"It's funny, how about the next game upstairs? Don't look at the time it took to start the server, someone has already reached level 5. In fact, the speed of thinking in the game is more than three times, that is to say So far, it has taken the first batch of players about two months to reach level 5!"
"God should be a graduation game, right? It can't be released so early, and does anyone know what abilities and characteristics the **** has? It won't be like those previous games, that is, it has an extra title. If you want to run errands, you still have to run errands, and you still have to be wanted for killing a chicken, right?"
"Such a propaganda advertisement and a real machine demonstration are too different... But from what I understand, the body of the gods seems to be an interweaving of laws and energy, not a material entity in itself, and should be able to change at will, Is that alone strong?"
"Wait, so that means gender can also be..."
"Huh? One body, two kinds of happiness?! To tell you the truth, I'm even more excited!"
Countless players were excited, and under their efforts to spread the truth, a series of prudent rumors soon spread.
…
…
"What are you doing this for?"
The blonde beauty pondered for a while and looked at the creator in the void. Because she couldn't understand, she asked decisively.
"I want to see if they can really jump out of the box. If they can really upgrade their dimensions in this way, maybe they can give me a reference..." Xia Ran was also watching and it happened all of a sudden The drastically changing simulated sand table fell into contemplation.
He was thinking about it, and wanted to see if those creations that belonged to him could really jump out of his own creation and out of the destiny he weaved.
Whether you can succeed or not, you can at least give yourself some reference.
After all, he doesn't know whether the nature of the entire infinite world in the past, present and future in the real dimension is also the narrative of a certain existence.
Is the root of the existing impersonal "Tao" or a personified "God"?
"Break the fourth wall?" The Yokai Sage smiled, as if he was sure of something, "Are you thinking about this now?"
