Marne slowly walked to the shelter where the spider was waiting. It was standing obediently on the floor, looking no different from a normal creature - except that it was a perfect orb when curled up.

Anomaly entity: Titan Relic - Spider

Abnormal strength: Ⅳ-4

Risk degree: Ⅳ-5

describe:

It looks like a spider's appearance, has traces of mechanical and biotechnological transformation inside, and has a variety of complex anomalies.

characteristic:

Titan Creation-Spider III-3

The orderly composition of multiple composite abnormal characteristics can be effective in conjunction with their own non-abnormal functions and is designed to be used alone without any practical effects, and can only be used to restore functions of the same species that lose abnormal characteristics.

When this feature is in an exception entity, it will make a variety of exception characteristics, including but not limited to:

Spiritual communication, mind interference, invisibility, biological detection, electronic information access.

God's Sleep IV-4(1/1)

The gods whose weakness is equal to or less than Ⅳ-1 can fall into a deep sleep. In this process, the god's personality and memory will be reshaped (death). The expected recovery time is between six months and three hundred years, and the speed depends on the nutrients obtained by the gods themselves in this concept.

This effect will consume its own energy and cannot be rechargeable.

Tip: Some information is provided by the exception entity actively.

Its first feature cannot implement any function alone.

It’s like the creator of this thing has thought about the possibility of cracking and copying of the technology on spiders and encrypting it. Perhaps there are a lot of functions for normal cracking in the abnormal characteristics, and this kind of separate encryption is the last line of defense he faces.

It seems that the maker attaches great importance to technology, but that's the problem.

The most important function of spiders, "Divine Sleep", is not protected by this mechanism. It is possible that they cannot do this encryption method on it, but Marx prefers that they do not care about others obtaining this technology.

The function of this thing is to make the gods sleep. It is not a bad thing for anyone who uses it.

No wonder the Sons of Flame went to pursue this relic despite the danger. Even if the conditions were harsh, anyone would want to hold the weapon that could cause the gods to fall asleep and kill their existing personality.

When seeing Marne, the black spider moved his appendage slightly, as if he had seen his owner's pet.

It wants to communicate.

After ensuring that he had enough insurance facilities, Maren raised his hand to open the door of the shelter.

“Detected for humans, and under the Titans’ treaty of ‘The Last Sleep’, attempts to play voice.”

The language that sounded in his mind, Marx and En had never learned it, but could understand it without any obstacles.

A young female voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Test, hey, hey, can you hear it?"

A pause for several seconds.

“Wait, how do you delete the previous voice?

"Forget it, let's start like this, I'm Lei, the seventh generation Titan.

"If we win a complete victory, you will not have the chance to hear this recording, but I guess you should not have suffered any consequences, otherwise this passage may become a joke for the gods.

"I'll assume that everything goes well. The 'Barrel Land' and 'Sword of Reason' have succeeded. Now the gods should be in the weakest state ever, and it's also the most likely opportunity for us to completely eliminate these bastards. By the way, I almost forgot that they might cover up the truth...

“What we are fighting against is called the gods, and there is a phenomenon we call ‘natural worship’ that is generally found in the consciousness of all human beings.

"Nature worship refers to the existence of supernatural entities that are highly consistent with this cognition when all humans have sufficiently similar views and cognitions about certain concepts.

“I want to explain here that it was not our imagination that created them.

"They are our imaginations, and the perception of nature in your mind is their entire body.

"The gods are not what they represent themselves. For example, the Sun God has nothing to do with the star hanging in outer space. He is just a collection of our irrational imaginations of the Sun. The strength only depends on our view of him.

"Gods are just our imagination, so it sounds pretty good, right?

"But you have to understand that as long as we have enough numbers, these gods can even outweigh what they represent, and that for some gods we have little way to kill.

“And after they have dominated the world, it is even more impossible to defeat them.

"Before we have mastered the language, they have already appeared, the fear of seeing the flames, the shock of looking at the ocean, the horror of thunder piercing the sky, and the two planets that will always exist in our world...

"These feelings shape their original prototypes, but the deities at that time were still very close to the laws of nature themselves, with no threat to our existence and no idea of ​​dominating us.

"Although there is a continuity of their personality and memory now, this nature is also composed of our imagination, and the early myths we pass on word of mouth gave them a continuous and unified personality, and we also feel that the master of natural phenomena should be stronger than us.

“After the emergence of language and the earliest stories, the darkest times came.

“Our ancestors took it for granted the Sun and the Moon and then anthropomorphized these natural phenomena in mythology.

“That’s when we gave them humanity—one of the worst gifts in the world.

“Then, there are powerful and incredible intelligent entities in our world, and they will instinctively make mortals worship themselves—as described in myths.

"And this behavior will keep them stronger, and stronger power will make them more worshipped.

"The earliest gods and their believers appeared, and they gave their worshippers the power to spread their faith, which is certainly one of the myths' descriptions of them.

“When you create the word God to call something, your opinion of this thing will only continue to be exaggerated.

“Even though, long ago, at some point in time when we were born, the gods reached their peak.

"At that time, all humans had the bottom line of worshipping gods. Several gods had to be worshipped to the lowest level. The unbeliever was the most vicious word at that time. All humans over the age of sixteen had to start reproduction and also had to produce the lowest number of children at the age of childbearing. Then humans had to instill the great deeds of the gods in their offspring. This is our most important role.

“They are still using ideas to strengthen them and their fellow manufacturing compatriots, as if we were domestic pigs they raised.

“But the character of the so-called gods has become more and more complicated. Do you still remember the gifts we gave them?

“When we became their slaves, our imagination in pain once again shapes them.

"Arrogance, greed, desire, madness, they are enough to start the most tragic war."

"On the eve of our time, the first battle of gods broke out, and the kingdoms of gods that ruled all human beings fell apart, which also caused the strongest gods to be severely damaged and fell from their positions that did not belong to them.

“They returned to the intensity of the primitive age—the sixth level, and many gods that were forcibly created by enslaving humans never appeared again.

"Some powerful gods have been temporarily killed by some special method and reshaped into new personalities, including the God of Thunder, the God of Sea, the God of the Sky, and the God of Earth in our current era. They are no longer the same selves as they were.

“Then it is our era.

"The chaos was ended by the great king of men, and the great empire rose up. We sang and marched forward while the gods were quietly sleeping. When they woke up, they saw no longer a race of slaves that could be tricked at will.

“They will remember this lesson and never repeat the same mistakes again.

“But for us, one chance is enough.

“The gods took a more gentle approach to promoting their faith, and they established the church, and then influenced by their actions, many new gods were born—gods that meet human expectations.

"The God of Justice and Justice, the God of Goodness, the God of Light, the God of Thieves, the God of Merchants...

"But the gods who already possess human nature finally couldn't accept the current situation. They had reached the highest position. The power in their memory made them dream like honey. They wanted us to return to the dark age of the past...

"This is the starting point of the Second War, and it is also the war I am participating in at this moment.

“In a special way, we secretly transformed the bodies of thirteen heroes who had voluntary sacrifice into the existence of concepts and entities, so that they could also accept the influence of the phenomenon of 'natural worship' and declared to the common people that they were the deities we should worship, and eventually successfully created a total of nine human gods—the original Titans.

“The word means to challenge the gods and slowly evolve into the battle against the gods themselves.

"But at the beginning of the war, 80% of the civilians in the entire empire had moderate faith, and the proportion of believers among the nobles and officials was higher. We also carried out several purges, but it was difficult to complete them smoothly under this situation.

"When I recorded the first Titans, there were only two left. Although they were powerful enough, they were not enough to fight against the gods alone due to the difficulties in production conditions and the inability to effectively destroy the gods.

"But they have bought enough time."

"We continued to advance the Titan Project during this period, and in the process we also became more and more aware of the nature of the gods. Then we found a few gods who were willing to implant the concept of "Death of God" and made them become gods who could kill Gods at the cost of them being killed.

"The God of Justice, the God of Light, and the God of Goodness have become second-generation Titans, and they have also achieved outstanding results.

"The only living second-generation Titan is the God of Justice.

"Then there are three generations, four generations, and five generations. Until now, there are thirteen generations of Titans. We are almost on par with the gods. And with the implementation of various plans, it is time for the decisive battle.

“There are several possibilities before us, the gods are completely controlled, we survive, civilization will continue, and our descendants will remember and persist in the duty of guarding the gods and drive them out of our world completely.

"Or, although several major plans were successful, the gods fell into a deep sleep and were imprisoned to a deserted place, their counterattack also destroyed us and the subsequent guardian plan.

"This is actually the secondary goal of the gods, because as long as we no longer can guard them, they are destined to recover.

“If we no longer remember what the gods are, they will grow again in your mind and try to continue to control all mortals to achieve the promotion of their power.

“So we prepared the ‘Second Sleep’ plan.

"For example, we have left some remains that will appear at a certain time. The knowledge in it will guide humans at that time to establish a cognitive approach based on rationality and a testable knowledge system. I don't know what words you call it in the future, but we now call it 'Manageton'."

These syllables form a familiar word in Marxun’s mind—science.

“We predict that under this knowledge system, future humans will deny and criticize the existence of gods before they recover, so the recovery of gods will take dozens of times.
