Chapter 1308: A New Atmosphere for the Second Home
For the dark HP world, in the five years that Kane has been here, many great things have happened.
Osiris, defeated without suspense.
Mass production of cannon fodder soldiers to achieve victory is Kane's best combat mode, and Osiris inadvertently fell into this competition, and the tragedy was doomed early.
Although Osiris's army of invokers is large, it still does not seem to be enough in the face of Kane's frenzied proliferation of mechanical warfare insect legions.
However, in the end, Osiris's wife, Isis, who guards the entrance to the Underworld Divine Kingdom, intercedes, Kane considers that Horus and Anubis have not yet been arrested, and he is incomplete, so it is a very mental and time-consuming thing to separate the gods from the priesthood.
In addition, the gods of the Egyptian gods, including the god-king Sun God Ra, and the most capable god of brutality and desolation, Seth, have not yet appeared.
So Kane did not erase Osiris for the time being, but imprisoned him in the Kingdom of the Underworld.
Osiris's unity with the Heavenly Dao of the Underworld God Kingdom was his greatest reliance, but as long as he did it properly, it could also become the strongest cage that trapped him.
And the essence of this method is also simple, that is, don't let Osiris touch 'possessions', there is no mysterious element, and in terms of supernatural power, he is always in a state of hunger and thirst, and Osiris can't make waves.
And Isis is not aggressive, and is willing to live a small life after 'retirement' with Osiris in an almost ordinary state.
Horus and Anubis have gradually become a hidden danger in Kane's heart, because with the establishment of the 'rat network' in the world, whether it is above the nine heavens or under the nine earths, they can no longer escape Kane's insight, but these two gangs still have not been found. Either the two are hiding in an unknown dimension, or there are capable people to help.
Kane prefers both, after all, as Osiris was dressed up, the information that came out of the interrogation basically confirmed Kane's previous speculation that Osiris's troubles were indeed the game that the ancient god had been laying out since the upper reaches of time.
Kane analyzed from the perspective of that ancient god, whether it was Osiris, or Horus, Anubis, or some unpopular gods in Egypt, they were all puppets.
In the context of the trough of the demon tide, these gods have all returned to the same starting point in terms of state. The main advantage of a powerful god is that he sees the pattern.
However, if the pattern is large and the eyes are high, it may not necessarily be strong in combat. Like Isis, she's not a combat-type deity. Osiris is actually not strictly speaking, but it is also an existence similar to Hades, the king of Hades in the Greek god system, and he still has basic force, and he is also proficient in fighting with his soldiers.
But if the old god is not short of money and plays the game of 'power and bricks flying', Osiris is not the best candidate. His son Horus, and Anubis, the god of death, were superior to Him militarily.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Kane did not underestimate Horus and Anubis because they were inferior to the Osiris and Isis, and seemed to be doing the errand work of the executors.
Since it is a powerful brick flying, the mysterious elements and supernatural energy smashed on Horus and Anubis, and it can still make a loud noise, maybe it will learn the lesson of Osiris's defeat and carry out the terrorist-ism route to the end.
Therefore, this line can only be said to have come to an end for the time being, and the search for Horus and Anubis has never been relaxed. Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that they want to dig it out on their own initiative, and most likely they can only wait for it to jump out and make trouble, and then they will have the opportunity to capture or wipe it out.
The emergency that led to Kane's exile was completely over.
Probably because the old god felt that with Kane's banishment, the main baggage of the line had been shaken out, and it was of little value. So I didn't want to invest in it anymore.
Of course, Kane would not spare the goblins because of such speculation.
He made good on the decision he had made with a lot of anger - exterminate the elves!
One is too many, no matter how old or young the woman is, kill them all.
It's just that the specific operation is not too bloody, but uses extraordinary genetic weapons, so that the goblin clan is under the irradiation of the power of the evil god, genetic mutation, atavism into a kobold, jackal-like low-intelligence race, and collectively migrated to the super cave dome that Isis was originally guarded to live and work.
Although the goblins suddenly 'went offline' en masse, the great turmoil in the transcendental circle that once worried many HP wizards did not happen, because the Demon Rat Clan filled the void left by the death of the goblins in time.
The Demon Rat family is originally closer to the mysterious side than to the technological side, and when Kane created them, the population image label he set for them was Victorian style and magic steampunk, so the magic rat was integrated into the transcendent circle, which was not obtrusive.
At least in terms of overall style, it is unified, has an internal taste, and feels like the same. And accept this sudden appearance of the race from the heart, this Kane has neither the extravagance nor the imposition, he feels that as long as it is not a big fight, and the other party is stained with too much blood, and the blood feud is formed, then after all, it will still get used to it over time.
To say that this magic rat is actually not a special temporary idea. Kane has long been dissatisfied with the gloomy atmosphere of the HP World's Transcendent Circle, even if he sees that the demon tide is about to rise again, it is still full of strong characteristics of the waning sun.
Therefore, he tried to pretend to be a magic rat to guide this circle to a certain extent.
In his opinion, when a group is in an upward state, it is the most stable, and even if there are some problems, it can be suppressed. This was the main reason why he wanted to give new branches to the old tree of the HP World Transcendental Circle. After all, stability is conducive to his base information collection project.
Although the goblin clan abruptly withdrew from the stage of history, the house-elf clan was freed from the shackles, from slaves, to freelancers, although they still do this work of serving people, and most of them are still angry images, but after all, they have taken a gratifying step, I believe that over time, their mental distortion problems can be alleviated until they are completely recovered.
After the magic rat joined the extraordinary family, a major move was to establish and implement a hierarchical system of protected areas.
This initiative has been supported by many people of insight represented by Newt Scamander.
Of course, there are also many wizards who scoff at this, and their biggest reason is that the demon tide is about to revive, and at that time, the precarious transcendent ecosystem will naturally recover.
However, the demon rat and people of insight pointed out that the resurgence of the demon tide may not be a life-saving elixir, and they should not be relied on and counted on too much.
Moreover, there is also a process of revival, and the transcendent ecosystem is likely to be like those who are terminally ill and powerless, although they survived the darkest times, but died in the dawn of dawn.
Therefore, wild and artificial breeding must be grasped with both hands.
In addition, the Demon Rat has also introduced a smart creature identification bill, so that many non-human races that have been characterized as magical animals by many wizards are actually not lower than humans in intelligence, and the main problem is the lack of systematic education.
This move has been resisted by many wizards, and on the surface, it is naturally full of tricks, but the real reason is naturally that it affects the interests of wizards. Imagine, when crocodiles are listed as prohibited animals, and crocodile skin products are used in prison, how can crocodile skin bags be sold in a grand manner?
Fantastic beasts, no matter how magical they are, are also animals, but once they have the same basic social status and rights as people, then many things that they were accustomed to in the past are inconvenient to do.
However, the opposing wizards soon found that their cries, the resistance to the project's substantial advancement, were very, very limited.
Although the Demon Rat has not yet dominated the transcendent circle, it is already an important part that cannot be easily parted. And people have money and some people have power, but they can be willful.
You say you don't want to sit at a table with a bunch of non-people? No problem, there are women's clubs in the human community, or gay clubs, and all kinds of bars, just go to what you like.
Even if there is not a single human wizard, the demon rat and other inhuman intelligent creatures still play well.
It's just that the extraordinary gathering place established by the demon rat is open and inclusive, and at the same time it attaches importance to order and law.
No, goblins had a near-monopoly on the financial realm of the Transcendental Circle, and as social animals, who could not deal with money? Even if it was bartering, it also involved finance.
What's more, the open gathering place established by the Demon Rat Man has all kinds of conveniences and discounts, and most wizards quickly turn from resistance to true incense, and if they screw it individually, they don't follow, then screw it, the Demon Rat doesn't intend to satisfy everyone, and the propaganda slogan of establishing a gathering place is not only for human wizards.
In short, with the emergence of the Demon Rat Clan and a large number of underground dome gathering places, the original gathering place of the Transcendent Circle was replaced at a jaw-dropping speed.
Like the once famous Diagon Alley, in less than two years, it was already deserted as it was in the original Deathly Hallows chapter.
Every year, at the beginning of the school season, Hogwarts students make a purchase of designations to make the place lively.
However, it is not enough to feed the shops there by counting on the students alone, so even if there is no trickery, the place is becoming depressed day by day.
Later, the Shafiq family, represented by the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce, acquired the shop and turned it into a cultural relic, thus evolving into a museum-like tourist attraction.
As for the Dome gathering place of the Demon Rat Man, it is a regular and almost stereotyped, similar to the 'Home Inn' express hotel, and if you are used to one place, then no matter where you go to the Demon Rat Man gathering place, you can find a strong sense of déjà vu.
The main area will always be Victorian, and the sub-district will inevitably have three areas: magical, steampunk and natural primitive, and there will inevitably be a district to highlight the local character. There is also a district, which is an administrative district where various institutions are concentrated.
There is even a so-called 'free zone', similar to a tumbledown alley, which is dedicated to hiding dirt and dirt.
In the words of the founder: "Power makes people pretentious, and the transcendent group has never been a group that is good at keeping home and being peaceful." So we deliberately set aside an area for those in need. When you enter it, you can restore your original appearance as a beast or devil, but when you come out, even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be a decent person......"
To say that this kind of planning and design, in fact, there is not much new, and even very old-fashioned, but the details of the magic rat man are in place, the system is also perfect, and he is willing to spend money and burn money to buy popularity, so it attracts more and more people.
In the end, the original underground Liberty City or something, empty, three or two kittens, the shops are either half-open, or the goods are not in order, and people are disappointed once and again, and they gradually stop coming.
When it comes to interests, it is naturally indispensable to fight behind the front and back of the stage, and the Demon Ratmen are not all possessed by the God of War, and even most of the combat power is weak, but the Devil Ratmen are better at group or teamwork than the Aurors, and they are well-equipped, and the number is always sufficient.
And then in a fight, these guys went to the 'free zone' where the demon rat people gathered to seek benefits. Kane also said sarcastically: "This is adaptation, this is running-in." ”
All in all, after a lot of tossing, most people quickly found their new social position, including those who went down the mafia and went off the beaten track.
Although the Demon Rat Man has big rules and many rules, he keeps his promise and allows the darkness to exist.
Therefore, most of the evil people are just seeking money, not fighting for war. If they can't fight and find a way out, they will soften and give in, provided that the demon rat people don't show a big flaw, otherwise these people will immediately turn into wolves and pounce on them to bite.
With Kane behind the Demon Ratman, he can't see any major mistakes in the short term.
Therefore, when Kane returned, he saw a new transcendent circle that was in the ascendant and was beginning to flourish.
The absolute status of wizards in the transcendent circle has declined.
But they have nothing to lose, a series of great upheavals in the past few years have intensified the interaction between them and the mortal world, and many things, with a beginning, are only a matter of time before they advance.
On the side of the Holy See, because of the strong cooperation of the angels of heaven, the style changed rapidly, and presented various turbulent internal problems, the hidden agreement signed back then, the effect was gone, and more and more wizards began to appear in the mortal world, and were called mysterious advisors by the media, similar to the existence of exorcists.
The mortal man has two main needs for these supernatural advisors.
1, is to deal with the demon rat people who suddenly live next to them.
Although the Demon Rat Man abides by the rules set by Kane, he never interacts with humans, and even if he is invaded, he mainly forbears, but if he can't do it, he will teach him a lesson, and then let the 'parent' redeem him.
But even so, its existence itself makes many ordinary people panic, and the mysterious consultant can alleviate this problem to a considerable extent.
Its main role is to serve as a bridge of communication. After all, there is always no shortage of rotten people, such as doing something black-hearted and rotten, and then pushing it on the head of the demon rat man. And this kind of pot, the demon rat man does not carry it. In this way, the mystery consultant, after solving the case through extraordinary means, can also receive a task reward from the magic rat man who is not bad for money, and this benefit has further contributed to the rise of the mystery consultant industry.
In addition, the mysterious consultant has also become a window for ordinary people to peek into the society of the demon rat people, such as the purchasing business that was once very popular in Liberty City, the tour guide business, is also staged in the gathering place of the demon rat people, although the demon rat people have a whole set of corresponding control strategies for this, but the integration between the transcendent and the mortal world is still inevitably accelerated.
This was actually expected by Kane, after all, the resurgence of the demon tide is not a slogan, but a fact that is about to happen.
In fact, the extraordinary recovery has already begun in advance.
And the main reason for the early start was the game between the old god and Kane, which led to the release of extraordinary energy again and again.
When the transcendent energy is accumulated, it is possible to form the phenomenon of energy assimilation or transformation, thus forming a special environmental area similar to the poisonous miasma sedimentation zone, and this kind of area is the seed of the transcendent region, and if the conditions are right, it will be further deepened.
And even if the supernatural power does not accumulate and dissipates, it will still play a role, after all, it has already participated in the operation of nature.
Among them, the most familiar is the supernatural event.
The significant increase in supernatural events is the prelude to the resurgence of the demon tide, and at the same time, it has also prompted mortals to change their views on mystical things, and the rapid acceptance of mystical advisors by mortals is due to this reason.
On the whole, the HP world has tended to be stable over the years. But there are still many hidden dangers.
There are at least two pieces of bad news.
First, Igo, the serpent father of the Old Dominator line, had not been able to free his hands to destroy him before, but suddenly received reinforcements from there.
Judging from the known information, it is likely that Kane killed Graki before and caused the old rulers to converge.
According to the latest information, the dark sinful soul world where Igo lives has completely become a lair of evil gods, and there is no saving value.
If it weren't for the old hatred, Kane really didn't want to provoke the old rulers, after all, the old rulers could hardly be completely wiped out, and the more they tore up, the deeper the resentment became.
The point is, the main benefit of taking the old branch for him - information, he no longer has an urgent need.
It can even be said that the information sources he can use to analyze now are enough for him to chew for tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, waging war with the old rulers is like having a tight flow of cash (the mysterious element), and when there is a surplus of means of production, you still have to spend money on raw materials.
However, wars are always easy to open and hard to end. The war between him and the old branch was not something he could stop if he wanted to.
The second piece of bad news is about exploring the Norse god system's dimensional kingdom, the World Tree Yctrasil.
To put it simply, this bad news belongs to the type of digging a well and digging out the sea eye.
Originally, because it was similar to the Osiris lineage, it was also the bureau that the ancient god deployed in time, and it was timed to attack, and then between the particularity of the laws of the kingdom of the gods of this dimension, he sent the puppet to investigate.
After that, Kane was 'fragmented', and he went to the Warhammer 40K universe. And after returning, he fused with the deity, only to know that not long after he left, the exploration unit over there was collectively lost.
This is absolutely rare. After all, the dark law ban he implemented against the universe where the dark HP world is located has creator-level insight ability in itself, and it is also a powerful communication relay device. It is a powerful guarantee for the quantum communication between him and the puppet, and it can completely cut off this communication method at one time, and it can only be said that the situation there is not trivial.
The deity had not acted rashly before, but now that he had returned, the handling of the matter was once again a priority.
