Chapter 657: Chapter 7: Attack on Giant (Fog)

Wait, wait!! What the hell is this?!!

At this moment, not to mention the primitive tribe believers who have never seen the world and are in the late Stone Age.

Even Kanako herself was startled, somewhat unable to react to what was happening.

After all, the giant robot on the opposite side was completely out of place with the style of this era, this world—a super-giant massive figure, a strange appearance, and terrifying momentum—huge! Heavy! Shocking! When this giant humanoid weapon, dozens of stories high, moved with an incredibly fierce momentum, it absolutely seized attention from the start!

Even in later ages, people inevitably have a fear of large objects, let alone in this current primitive and backward period.

Such a steel puppet, like a moving giant city, roaring as it moved on the earth, brought an unparalleled impact, naturally achieving someone’s expected effect!

That was to cause a huge blow to the opponent’s morale while greatly boosting the morale on the side of Xieshi Country, equivalent to enhancing his own reputation and legendary level.

Compared to the unavoidable panic and commotion on the opposing side, on the side of the plain tribe in the distance, countless people gathered together, joyfully letting out earth-shattering cheers!

"Ahhhhhhh——!!"

"Giant Divine Weapon! Giant Divine Weapon!!"

The dense crowd stood so tightly packed that not even water could seep through, heads bobbing, watching and shouting excitedly at the giant tower-like figure, or raising coarse, rudimentary stone tools and primitive ironware in a roar! You could see their faces flushed, emotions extremely excited!

They might not have any complex about giant robots of later ages, but that sense of heaviness and power, the vibration released from iron and fire between its joints, the sound of metal parts grinding against each other, this seemingly miraculous steel puppet so realistically stood in front of them.

Like an impregnable, indestructible giant castle...

Right now, it was directly striding towards the enemy on the opposite side, bringing them an indescribable sense of security!

In this period, they had witnessed with their own eyes this Giant Divine Weapon being constructed from nothing, using a large amount of iron and other metal ores from the tribe, almost depleting the wealthy tribe’s reserves, leaving them originally quite resentful of the newly appeared Lord God.

But at this moment, none of that mattered.

What mattered was that all the previous emotions had turned into strong worship and awe!

On the mountain, observing, Gu Mo tilted his head, looking thoughtful. He finally felt a very, very faint divine power flowing towards him from the void, emerging thread by thread above the heads of the huge tribe of over ten thousand people down the mountain.

Amidst the landslide-like noises, countless people raised their arms in unison, shouting with sky-reaching momentum!

Their emotional wills resonated highly in this environment, excitedly amplifying this power further.

Pure power of faith...

The emotional spectrum of living beings...

The strong emotional energy condensed and generated by people’s intense emotions and wills under certain circumstances? Is this the manifestation of faith or fear?

Gu Mo seemed pensive, also associating different thoughts.

After all, during this time, besides knowing about the gods, who utilized people’s faith, he also learned about demons in this world born from people’s fear.

At first, he thought it was purely the spawning of wild souls, but he found out that those things did not necessarily need to exist in particularly chaotic and dark times, but could directly emerge from rumors and tales... Thinking carefully now, gods and demons on this land seem to exist as two sides of the same coin.

However, it is as it should be, especially on this land, where there has always been the saying of "eight million gods." Eight million means "extremely many," and the actual number should exceed this figure, among which the "gods" refer not only to so-called deities but also include some terrifying monstrous spirits.

—Anything extraordinary is called Jiaywei.

—That is to say, not only the outstanding, the kind, the accomplished are called gods, but also the ferocious, the strange, the extremely frightening are also considered gods.

In a certain sense, it reveals some similarities between them, so it is not surprising that they all leverage the power of emotions and feelings.

"But this power of faith is way too little...," sensing the trickling pure emotional power flowing towards him, seemingly the purest bit of essence extracted from people’s emotional spectra, Gu Mo couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, joking about the quantity of this power of faith.

Really, just a trickle, it’s not an exaggerated description at all.

To give a more straightforward comparison, if converted into magic power, based on his feeling for estimation, it might barely be enough to cast a single Gandr shot of magical energy.

What could this really achieve, wasn’t the power of faith supposed to have obvious cons but grow particularly fast, its efficiency being the most commendable point? Why does this advantage seem completely insignificant, or even like more of a disadvantage, since there really doesn’t seem to be any meaningful efficiency...

He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, contemplating the possible issues within this.

Is it because the number of followers is still too small? Or is it because my current reputation seems to have skyrocketed in a short time, but in reality, the foundation is still too shallow? After all, I just debuted not long ago, and the people of Xieshi Country are still not familiar enough with me, haven’t completely accepted me yet, and the base is too weak...

Now they have seen the city-level Steel Puppet I created with their own eyes, which is why they are so excited and have started to develop a sense of admiration and awe. Previously, they probably didn’t have much religious faith.

The current burst of faith seems more impulsive in nature.

Whether we can seize this opportunity to consolidate the heart of faith and continuously obtain the Power of Faith is still a question.

Of course, another important reason might be... I am, after all, a false god, never really relying on the Power of Faith, so the current reception efficiency is quite low. It’s possible that a huge wave of Power of Faith is coming in, but I can only absorb a very weak part of it.

Just like different life forms, each adapts to its own environment with unique adaptations.

Certain life forms evolve specialized organs and forms to better survive in a specific environment and utilize resources, while another kind of life form, lacking such adaptations, enters an unfamiliar environment as an outsider...

And here, what is being referred to are concepts like Divine Format and Divine Office.

As Gu Mo pondered the mysteries of the Divine Spirit, on the plain battlefield at the foot of the mountain—

The battle had already been going on for some time and had reached an intense stage.

......

"Just playing little tricks!"

The purple-haired goddess, with a demeanor akin to an older sister type, was somewhat annoyed by this but unhesitatingly stepped forward to confront the gigantic human-form war machine. It was a decisive choice and the correct one, after all, what the opponent brought out was too intimidating, shaking the troops’ morale.

The more critical the moment, the more she needed to turn the tide and inject a dose of confidence into her followers behind her.

This is also the action logic of all gods who walk the path of faith. The undefeated Golden Body they’ve established cannot be easily broken; the bigger the crisis, the more they need to stand at the forefront. Otherwise, if the divine image in the followers’ hearts shatters, the resulting consequences are often troublesome...

Gods, faith, and followers, this is a relatively perfect cycle. If handled well, it can be self-sufficient and develop positively.

But if not handled well, it can slide into the abyss of a negative cycle.

The purple-haired Kanako waved her hand to unleash divine power. With just a light wave of her delicate hand, despair stirred, as if a level 12 hurricane had been triggered, tearing the ground as if it were paper.

Trees bent like straws in a storm, finally breaking and snapping under the weight, or being uprooted entirely!

The clouds in the sky seemed to be pulled along, the stratocumulus rolling like raging waves, racing in the same direction!

The Steel Puppet on the opposite side, so astonishingly heavy, was even shaken by the gusts spreading with incredible speed, as if hit by a blast of wind akin to an air cannon. Under the impact of destructive, high-pressure air walls, the ground in front kept fragmenting, violently blown away, as even the metallic Giant resembling a Giant Tower wobbled a few times!

However, it was only just a few times; the Steel Puppet’s feet still stood firmly on the ground!

Facing the devastating hurricane, this metallic giant continued to roar words that were incomprehensible in meaning—in reality, an amplification device was looping pre-recorded audio, emitting terrifying sound waves, forming tangible sound impacts at close range!

Its electronic eyes emitted red light, like a berserk Prototype, roaring as it swung a massive arm. The retractable Chain Sword suddenly shot out, snapping tight and becoming extraordinarily rigid and perfectly fitted, sweeping fiercely like a forty-meter long blade!

Kanako, as if becoming a whirlwind, directly dodged the approaching Chain Alloy Sword, but immediately confronted a hugely hefty steel fist coming straight at her!

The iron fist, enormous like a house, shone with the brilliance of Divine Power invisible to the naked eye under its furious force and speed, a faint glow clinging to it, illuminating the entire mechanical arm, much like the chain sword just now.

Every steel muscle fiber inside the arm had engines roaring, along with the overwhelming propulsion brought by divine power, it was like being fitted with rocket-driven boosters, delivering a ferociously heavy punch compressing the air, bringing an overwhelmingly massive punching force!

The air was violently compressed, creating dense creases!

Facing the gale from the opponent!

The two massive atmospheric forces collided brutally together, a supersonic shockwave erupting in all directions!

Relying entirely on Gu Mo’s Magic Puppet Technology, creating a puppet capable of wrestling with the opposite god in such a short time, naturally was an impossible feat. In truth, the back-and-forth exchange now was mostly due to the pilot in the cockpit being that petite blond girl.

Her small body seated inside the cockpit, watching everything around with interest, while the Steel Puppet collected external information through various detectors, pooling the data stream back in.

"All systems activated!"

"All units synchronized!"

"Resonance rate normal!"
