Starting from Zero

After all the personnel arrived, the construction of the collection tower officially began. But instead of building a collection tower, we are building a tower core. The real collection tower can work as long as it has a tower core, and the outer structure is completely a protective shell, and it doesn't make any difference what kind of casting is made.

"Persephone, are our materials ready?" Hades asked, standing in front of a stone console.

Persephone took a list one after another and counted the materials that he sent, and after the count was completed, he nodded to Hades: "Just the Divine Soul."

"Divine Soul is here with me. Now that the materials are all, we can start now." Hades said, took out the Divine Soul and placed it on the console in front of him.

This console is not so much a console as it is a magic array. This is a black stone platform a bit like a Mayan pyramid, but its inclination is relatively small, so the top is not much smaller than the bottom. The platform is about one meter high, and on the top is a square platform measuring one meter by one meter. A dense magic array is carved on the platform. However, because of the complex structure, I can't see what this thing is for.

The Divine Soul didn't struggle to escape after being put on the console, because there was a problem with the fusion, so his consciousness was very vague, and he was not as clear as a normal person about his intentions. The reason why Hades said that this soul is very good may be because his consciousness is vague and it is better to operate.

Seeing that this soul is not struggling, Hades is also nodded, and then he called Radamantis and the others. It seems that it’s not the first time that they did the work of making the collection tower. Hades just signaled that they could start, and the three of Ladamantis, Aikos and Minos joined hands together. Add the corner of Hades to the three corners of the console, so that one person is responsible for each of the four corners of the console.

As Hades signaled that it was possible to start, the three of them and Hades released their divine force to the corner of the console. This console also seems to be a special device. With Hades and their divine force input, the bottom of the console suddenly clicked and bounced off a circle of crystal spikes, followed by the entire console from bottom to top. The sound spreads layer by layer quickly.

Before I thought this thing was just a stone platform, but there was a magic array carved on the surface. Now it seems that this thing is more complicated than I thought. Through the opening of the console, you can see that there are a large number of crystal structure mechanical devices inside, and there are a large number of various gems and magic wires on the surface. It seems that this thing is not only a simple stone platform, but also a very powerful magic device.

As the crystal blocks were opened one after another, the entire console turned into a huge monster body full of spikes, but this is not over yet, just after the lower level of spikes unfolded, The top of the console suddenly bounced up for a while, and then I saw the middle of the entire console began to croak endlessly. In less than two seconds, the top of the entire console turned from the outside to the inside. Ascending layer by layer became a real sharp cone, and at the last moment when the sharp cone was completed, the center of the operating table suddenly popped up with a chuckle, and a sharp cone nearly two meters long penetrated and was placed in an instant. The Divine Soul on the console. Divine Soul, who had been unresponsive, suddenly began to struggle violently, but it was obviously useless to struggle again at this time.

It wasn't until the console was fully unfolded that I realized that this thing is simply not a console, it is simply a drill. However, the facts have proved that my guess is still a little bit different from the actual situation, because this thing is not a drill bit, but a blade of a blender.

As the spike tower fully unfolded, Hades and the others immediately retreated to the side, followed by Pandora, who had been prepared a long time ago, suddenly pulled a lever next to it, and one was hung from the top of the console. The thing that looked like a big bell suddenly hung down and buckled the entire console together with the Divine Soul in it. Although something like this big clock looks like the big clock in the temple on the outside, it's not like that at all on the inside. The inside of the clock is densely packed with crystal blades, exuding cold light.

When the big clock hits the ground, Hades and Ladamantis immediately grabbed the clock all around. The four handles that stretched out began to push the clock slowly like a mill. It revolved, and the console inside that had become Blade Mountain revolved in the opposite direction of the big clock.

This console and the bell jar outside are all blades stand in great numbers. Under the two-phase rotation, it is simply a super cruel meat grinder, but this stuff is not used for ground meat, but for Stir the soul. I saw that Divine Soul worn on the console was quickly torn into pieces by the golden crystal blades, and then stirred and shattered layer by layer by the blades below, and finally all turned into fine golden light spots and dropped. On the surface of the console, an unknown force was gradually sucked into the console.

This stirring process lasted for almost twenty minutes before it was over, and Hades and the others also slumped as soon as the operation stopped. Hades is okay, but a little panting. Ladamantes and Aacos are all miserable. They are all tired like a dead dog, regardless of their image, just lying on the ground. Straight hum.

For Divine Race, pushing a machine for 20 minutes will certainly not make you tired. However, the crystal blades have been glowing during the operation of the pulverizer, which shows that the operation of this thing is mainly It is still driven by divine force. It can be said that the reason why Ladamantes are so tired is mainly caused by the excessive consumption of divine force.

Compared to the tired Ladamantis who were lying on the ground and panting, Hades' treatment was obviously much better. As soon as he stopped, Pandora moved a chair to let him sit down, and Persephone immediately pressed two fingers on both temples of Hades and began to use her spring magic to help. Hades regained his strength.

It seems a bit miserable to see Ladamantis and them lying there unattended one by one. I waved and summoned six Death God guards and helped them up. And let Xiaochun go over and help them restore their strength.

I turned to Hades after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Radamantis and they said, "How is the situation now? Is it done?"

Hades is now Although they were better than Ladamantis, they were still panting tiredly, but he seemed very happy to look at him. He took a few breaths and calmed down a bit before he smiled and said to me: "We didn’t expect the energy of this Divine Soul to be so powerful. It took us so long to smash him completely, but we were tired to the point of nothing. , The stronger this Divine Soul is, the higher the conversion and absorption ratio of Power of Faith will be, and we will be happier if we are tired."

"putting it that way this Divine Soul has been completed?"

p>

"To be precise, the processing of Divine Soul is completed." Hades explained: "The first part of making the Power of Faith collection tower is to make Divine Soul crystals, although I said before using Divine Soul To absorb and transport Power of Faith, but that only means using the characteristics of Divine Soul, not using the complete Divine Soul. What we actually need is this." Hades said as he walked to the shredder and pressed it with one hand , The lowered bell shell rose automatically again, and then the crystal blades on the inner platform began to retract into the platform one after another. Finally, when the platform was fully restored to the at first state, Hades gently pressed the center of the platform again. , A small hole was automatically opened in the center of the platform, and then three silver metal claws pinched a yellow crystal to rise from the platform. Hades picked up the crystal, turned and put it in my hand, then opened the mouth and said: "This is what we really need."

I carefully held the piece of yellow Crystal took a closer look. The crystal is in the shape of a rice grain, about four centimeters in length, about the same thickness as a normal male index finger. The surface of the crystal is very smooth and the overall light transmittance is quite good, and the crystal itself seems to be glowing because it looks much brighter than the surrounding environment. However, the water crystal interior does not seem to be a solid structure, but it seems that a lot of liquid can be seen in it, and a few bubbles will appear from time to time. In the center of the crystal, there seemed to be a golden flame burning, and the liquid around the flame seemed to boil, and bubbles continued to rise.

"This is the crystallization of divine force?" Because of Vina, I know a lot about Divine Race, so I asked tentatively.

Hades took the crystal back and shook his head and said: "This is slightly different from the divine force crystal, but you can't count it wrong if you say it is a divine force crystal." After that, Hades said again: "Okay, now we start to make the most important part of the collection tower, the mind control ring. This process requires concentration, so don't disturb us in a while."

I nodded and said: "I will pay attention. , But how long do you need? If it’s too long, I won’t wait here."

Hades shook his head and said: "The production process is very fast. If everything goes well, it can be completed in five minutes at most, I The previous record was completed in three minutes and eight seconds, but this Divine Soul is very precious. I want to make a perfect control loop to improve the collection efficiency, so I will slow it down a little bit."

" So fast, then I'll be here waiting for you to finish it." After Hades nodded, Radamantes and the others greeted them and started to help make the mind control ring.

In fact, this production process does not seem magical at all. On the contrary, it looks like workers in an electronics factory are soldering circuit boards, but Hades and others are doing magic array boards.

Pandora was there to explain to me when Hades and the others started making it. It turns out that the size and color of the citrine is directly related to the quality of Divine Soul. The more powerful Divine Soul's crystals are, the better the light transmission, otherwise it will be more turbid or even completely opaque. As for the size of the crystal, it has a certain relationship with the condensed degree of Divine Soul's divine force. The more condensed the Divine Soul, the smaller the crystal, and vice versa. So the citrine is the more transparent the color, the better, the smaller the volume, the better. If the length of the produced crystal is more than two meters or it is completely opaque, as long as one of these two points is stained, the crystal is equivalent to a waste product, and it is completely impossible to make a Power of Faith collection tower. For example, the piece I got back can have such a small size and good transparency, and even see the divine fire burning in it. This is the best performance.

Although Pandora said a lot of benefits, things always have two sides. Although this high-level Divine Soul is incredibly effective, the production process is also incredibly troublesome. In the process of smashing that Divine Soul, Hades and the others were exhausted to death, which was the first performance of this Divine Soul, but now the second problem has arisen.

Because the control target of the mind control ring is the citrine, its volume must match the size of the citrine, but no matter how big the control ring is, the control magic array is exactly the same. That is to say, no matter how high the citrine is, the content of the magic array that Hades and the others need to engrave on the control ring will not reduce even one line. For those crystals that are more than one meter high, engraving the corresponding magic array on the external control ring is the same as writing five hundred characters on a piece of A4 printing paper. It can be said that individuals can easily complete this Work. However, now our citrine is only four centimeters long as the index finger, and the outer control ring is reduced by Small Accomplishment. It is only slightly larger than the ancient square hole copper coin. To draw the entire magic array on such a small control ring, the difficulty is basically the standard of writing 500 characters, but the writing range has changed from a piece of A4 printing paper to a small piece of paper the size of a dollar coin. Although it is only five hundred words, but now this job is definitely not done by ordinary people.

Hades also didn't expect that I would bring back a fused soul, but in the end he made such a small piece of crystal. Although he is also very happy to get a perfect Power of Faith collection tower soon, but now the production process is really giving him a considerable headache.

By convention, the mind control loop is divided into four parts. The first part is a full ring, this ring is located in the outer ring of the entire control ring, equivalent to a fixed ring. The magic pattern in this part is the densest and most complex, so Hades can only handle it by himself. In addition to this outer ring, there are three fan-shaped inner rings of the same size. The magic array patterns of these three parts are slightly less than those of the outer ring, but they are definitely not much simpler.

Because the magic array on the mind control ring is a three-dimensional magic array, some lines need to pass through the inside of the control ring, so general plane carving techniques cannot be used, and only a little bit of erosion engraving with divine force. In order to ensure the durability of the control ring, the basic material of the control ring is made of fine gold. Divine force is used to corrode the fine gold, which is said to be indestructible. It's even more complicated. Fortunately, Hades and Radamantis have done many times, and they are considered skilled workers. The only trouble is that this time it needs to be done too intensively.

Persephone and Pandora were not idle when Hades and the others were busy making the mind control loop. After Pandora explained the characteristics of the crystal to me, he began to cooperate with Persephone to make a crystal panel. This thing looks a bit like a solar panel, but the color is a bit different. However, this kind of one-meter-square silver white sheet seems to be very difficult to make. Persephone and Pandora can work together in almost ten seconds to get one, but the materials they consume are all of them. It's priceless. If I didn't know that this was a collection of Power of Faith, I would never give them such precious materials to squander it.

After Pandora and Persephone made fifty sheets of that kind, the two of them stopped the production process, but Hades and the others had not finished it yet. The production this time was obviously much longer than normal. In the end, we waited more than ten minutes to see that Radamantis was the first to complete the part he was responsible for, and then Hades also completed the outer ring part. In the end, the two remaining two completed their respective parts together after nearly one minute.

"Huh, it's finally finished." After finishing the work in his hands, Aiakos went straight to the ground and started humming, but he only lay down for a while. Stood up. Compared with the previous process of making Divine Soul crystals, this production process is just a special effort, and the actual consumption is not large.

After completing the four parts, Hades took another special fixture made by Pandora when they completed the control loop from Pandora. Originally, Hades and the others prepared a few fixings. Frames, these fixed frames can also adjust their size within a certain range, but the smallest of them can only barely hold a crystal the size of a fist, like ours is really small and too powerful, the original fixed frame simply It's useless. It seems that this thing has a simple structure and is not slow to make, but the expensive materials are a bit scary.

After placing the citrine on the holder, Hades took the Ladamantis and the three inner rings made by them were stuck on the outside of the citrine, and then connected this The inner ring and the base were connected together, and finally the outer ring he made was put on the outside of the inner ring.

After the mind control ring, base and citrine were all dug into place, Hades took out a lot of materials to make a metal device like an armillary sphere and installed the core parts that were just completed. Go to the inside of this device. With this device, the citrine, mind control ring and fixing device can all rotate freely inside the device without being affected.

After completing the device, Persephone and Pandora took the thin plates they had made before, and with the help of Ladamantis, they stacked all the plates into one. Two metal shells were stacked and installed, and finally Hades dug a hole in the front of the thing, and then embedded the citrine device he just made into the shell of the thing.

After Hades completed this series of work, I was surprised to find that what they made was not a tower, but a book. The thin plates made by Pandora and Persephone before are the paper in the simulated book, and the added shell is the cover and back cover of the book, and the stuff that Hades has embedded in it forms a three-dimensional shape at the center of the front of the book. decorate.

"Okay, the collector is done." Hades said directly to me after embedding the device.

I looked at Hades in surprise and asked: "You said this book is the Power of Faith collector?"

Hades said with a smile: "In fact, in the middle The device with a complex rotating mechanism is the collector. The book outside is only because I hope that when the Yama Palace is rebuilt, a statue of myself holding a book in one hand and a balance in one hand is placed on the gate, so I embedded the collector. In the book. But the pages in this book are used to increase the collection effect, so it's not a waste."

"Then we start collecting now?"

< p>Hades nodded and said: "As long as you activate it, you can start collecting now, but if you collect now, we have nothing to transport Power of Faith."

I said excitedly: "It doesn't matter. , Anyway, it’s just an experiment. If the collected Power of Faith can’t be shipped out, you will first divide it. It’s better to give it to you than to waste it?"

Hades they can give it to them first. After absorbing these Power of Faith, they were immediately excited and didn't know what to say, but under my urging, they quickly calmed down and started to activate this thing.

The activation process of the Power of Faith collector is relatively simple, just use specific energy to attack the crystal in the core. After successfully activated, the citrine inside the special device suddenly made a slight buzzing sound, and then the whole crystal suddenly drove the outside device to slowly rotate on the preset orbit, but its speed was increasing. The faster, the crystal will be basically invisible at the end, only a large group of yellow light spots with high-speed rotation can be seen. At the same time, the entire device is like a shock wave generator, rippling out a kind of yellow ripples continuously. It's just that the spreading speed of this kind of ripple is very slow, and the ripple itself has obvious visual effects, which is very dazzling in this relatively dim underworld. With the rippling of the aperture, we can even hear the crystal inside humming along with the aperture, but the sound is not loud.

"Is this a success?" Because I don't know if it starts normally, I don't know if it's completed after seeing the iris and buzzing of the thing.

Hades nodded said: "It was successful, and it was perfect. With this, we can continuously obtain Power of Faith in the future. But you are really a waste here. So much Power of Faith doesn’t even know how to use it, and it’s all wasted."

"It’s not that Celestial Court doesn’t know how to use it, but they don’t have the corresponding technology. Okay, can you make a machine like this? Device, how can I go and fix other Yama Palaces?"

Hades directly pointed out a hand at me: "Where is Divine Soul?"

"Damn it, forget this! Forget it, you should concentrate on building the new Yama Palace for me first. I'll go and see if I can get a few more Divine Souls back." I turned around and left. , But stopped after thinking about it. "Oh, yes, I almost forgot to ask. Do you mind if I get a few Divine Souls from Olympus Divine Race and come back to make a Power of Faith collector?" Hades shook his head. "I don’t have anything to take care of in particular. Our Pluto family members are already here, so there’s nothing I need to care about. But my subordinates may have some friends or relatives who are particularly close to each other. So..."

"I understand." I directly said to Pandora: "Can you entrust this task to you? Please help me count the Olympus Divine Race that I can kill and I don't want to kill. For the list, it’s best to clearly list which ones can be given priority and which ones should never be moved."

Pandora nodded and said: "It’s okay, leave it to me."

Get After Pandora's reply, I left the underworld and ran back to the temple of chaos and order on Isengard's side. The Divine Race that was kidnapped from the Olympus Divine Race is not only the ones from the Pluto family, but also two troublesome characters. One is Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and the other is Demeter.

Demeter is the old lady of Persephone and the mother-in-law of Hades. After being kidnapped, she was persuaded by Persephone to join us in the temple of chaos and order. But even though she succumbed in the end, she still resisted being abducted here, but she couldn't get angry with me, so she could only put flame hair on Persephone and Hades. Therefore, she refused to live with Hades and the others in the underworld, and instead lived in Isinger's temple with Vina and the Divine Race, the original chaos and order. Although Persephone and the others wanted Demeter to live with them, but they couldn’t do anything about her. Fortunately, Isengard had a direct connection with the underworld, and it was very convenient to go back and forth, plus Demeter himself. It is the grain and harvest Goddess. It is indeed a bit inappropriate for her to live in a place where nothing grows except Resurrection Lily, Soul Tree and Demon Ghost Vine, so in the end they agreed to let Demeter. You live in Isinger.

Compared to Demeter, the real trouble should be the woman Aphrodite. I used to think that Aphrodite and Ares were lovers, so I wanted to give Ares some benefits, that is, by the way, get his little lover, Aphrodite, so that he can feel at ease. He was a cow and a horse for me, but it was a pity that everyone was tied back and found out that something was wrong.

Aphrodite and Ares did have a good relationship, but it was really just a good deal. What's more terrible is that Aphrodite also has a named husband at the Olympus Divine Race, so it is really a bit troublesome to persuade this woman to join our Divine Race of chaos and order. But I think Aphrodite has been kidnapped anyway, and it is a matter of time to convince her. Anyway, I was impossible to let her go back to the Olympus Divine Race. Even if she didn't join our chaos and order Divine Race for the rest of her life, I would treat it as an idler. Anyway, our Frost Rose League is not bad for that meal.

After running to the Temple of Chaos and Order, I first found Ares, and then inquired about this guy’s friends who are still in the Olympus Divine Race, and of course Demeter is also there. Have to ask. Compared to Hades's Hades family, the two members of the Heavenly God family are the ones who need to list me the most. Based on the tense relationship between the three major systems in the Olympus Divine Race, the Pluto system would not have much to do with the other two systems. Demeter and Ares were both genuine Heavenly before. Members of the God Department, so they must have a lot of connections in these two departments, and they cannot be hurt.

In addition to Demeter and Ares, I also ran to Aphrodite. As a result, as soon as the door was opened in the prison room, I felt the sound of breaking wind behind me. Coming over my neck. I reacted swiftly and turned around, and at the same time raised my hand to protect me, only to hear the sound of a crash, I was knocked out five or six meters and hit the wall with a crash before I stopped.

"Aphrodite, are you crazy?"

There was no reaction at all to my scolding Aphrodite. I just ignored it and rushed up, scared I didn't hurriedly climbed down from the wall and flashed to the other side of the room. But Aphrodite didn't seem to want to let me go, so he rushed up again.

Seeing this woman is so crazy, I have no choice but to use martial power. Seeing Aphrodite rush in front of me, I stretched out my hands and pinched her two wrists, then slammed my head forward, and with a bang, Aphrodite hit with a hammer. After a few steps back, he sat down on the ground. You know I wear a helmet on my head, but there is nothing on Aphrodite's head. The super Battle Armor on her body has been scrapped by me, and now she only has a gorgeous dress left on her body. Although it looks very beautiful, it is a pity that if you don’t add attributes, it will still affect your actions. In fact, this suit was designed by a male tailor in our guild. The name of the suit is called Prisoner of Shame. The design idea is quite trivial.

At first glance, this dress looks like a very dignified, mopping, long evening dress. If it is worn by a gentle and dignified lady, it is indeed a gorgeous evening dress, but, As long as you move a little bit bigger, such as walking faster or shaking your arms violently, then this evening dress will have various problems immediately, such as because the legs are stroking too much, causing the skirt to curl up or something. To put it simply, once you move too much, the clothes will go out immediately, and it's very difficult to deal with. If it is worn by a shameless and violent woman, there is no restraint effect, but if it is worn by a woman who cares about her image and has a strong sense of shame, then the restraint effect of this thing may be even better than an iron chain. , After all, the shackles in the heart are much stronger than the shackles on the body.

Just now, Aphrodite's action was quite large. After all, this is to fight against my high-end battle strength. The action range is not large enough to achieve the attack effect. However, she has a big move, and this dress is completely ruined.

"Hey, you're almost done, don't go too far." I walked to Aphrodite who was sitting on the ground and I reached out and lifted her from the ground. It’s not that I’m a gentleman, but because I’m afraid she will fly into a rage out of humiliation when she finds out that she’s gone. I don't want to let her run away again. Of course, the armor on her body no longer exists, and she is still wearing this with her bare hands. After all, Aphrodite is different from the general Olympus Divine Race. A large part of her strength is equipment bonus rather than her own strength. Of course, her own strength is not bad.

Probably knowing that I was such an impossible opponent, Aphrodite actually stopped making trouble, but instead stood alone sobbing. As the goddess of beauty, the way Aphrodite cried was indeed pitiful to me. Unfortunately, we are also people with wives and can't do things that are sorry for my wives. Besides, I and Aphrodite are still hostile forces, so I don't have a stand to comfort her. It's as if a female Eighth Route Army warrior started crying because of something. A Japanese devil suddenly ran over and asked me to borrow my shoulder. How would you say that Eighth Route Army girl warrior would react? Anyway, what I said was definitely to find a bayonet and stab him three times and six holes right away.

Although I can't comfort Aphrodite directly, I have a way to keep her from crying.

"Hey, are you crying enough? I have something to tell you when I'm over?" Aphrodite didn't mean to stop when he heard what I said. Instead, she cried even harder. NS. The only way she can resist my estimation is that she deliberately confronted me with a method. But I didn’t care about her, but said to myself: “Recently, Hades is helping me design the Power of Faith collector, so I need a lot of Divine Soul to make the core components. So I might go hunting for Austria recently. Linpis Divine Race came back to serve as the production material."

My words are definitely quite deterrent. The ferocious Aphrodite who was crying just now stopped the cry of surprise in an instant. Looking at me, she suddenly reacted and rushed towards me while shouting: "You demon is going to harm our Olympus Divine Race again, I will fight with you!"

When Aphrodite rushed over, I didn't take any action at all. I gave a hand directly to the side, and then stretched my leg to hook her foot. As a result, Aphrodite, who was wearing a long gown with mobility problems, immediately fell forward. But this room is specially made, with thick cushions from the wall to the floor, and it doesn't hurt at all to fall like falling into the water. "I came here to ask if you have any special friends, best friends, etc., give me the list first. I will take care not to put them in my Must Kill List. If you miss me Kill all these close friends of yours, then you can continue to go crazy."

My words really worked, and Aphrodite stopped going crazy immediately, instead turning his head to look at me and ask Said: "You would be so good? You didn't want me to write out the list, so you can catch them and threaten me with their lives, right?"

"Hey, don't you say I really didn't T expect has this method." I deliberately pretended to be surprised and said: "Well, I will grab all your friends, girlfriends and so on, and cut them off one by one in front of you. When do you agree to join me, stop killing them. This method is really good, many thanks to your suggestion.” I said, I turned around and walked out.

How dare Aphrodite let me go at this time, even if she knew I was happy with her, she had to stop me. "You stop me."

"Is there anything else? My beautiful Lord Goddess?"

Aphrodite ignored my ridicule and directly gnashing teeth Said: "Even if you want a list, you have to give me a piece of paper, right?"

"Oh sorry, this is my negligence." As I said, I just handed out a book and a pen. Give it to her, and then turn around and leave without waiting for her to continue talking. At the same time, I said, “Just leave the things as they are finished, and someone will come and pick them up. Remember not to miss the writing, and to write more indiscriminately. If you ask someone to protect There are too many, I may not refer to your opinion, so please cherish each quota."

When I heard my words, Aphrodite quickly asked: "How many talents is the right range?"

"You only need to rank the people who are most important to you in order. I will consider the scope myself. The lower the one, the more likely I will be attacked. But don’t worry, the first five must be Absolutely safe. By the way, to remind you, like Zeus, Poseidon, and other Apollo, you don’t need to write it down and waste your quota. I don’t have the ability to catch them back, so if you don’t write, I will. Not to touch them. Oh, by the way, there is a free message to tell you. If you have
