Chapter 556: Location of the Twelve Towers
"So why put something so important here? Both you and we went through so much trouble to convince those damn fools.
This is the scar of the world, and the devil may break through at any time. If that happens, won't the tower be occupied by the devil as well?"
A spokesperson for a force slammed the table and said angrily after hearing the decision of the Four Gods Church.
Just as the meeting began, the Church of the Four Gods had already explained where the 12 trial towers would be placed.
They all agreed that it was too unsafe to place the 12 trial towers here.
Alka sat at the side of the conference table, while Xiadaiti and others stood behind him.
At the conference table were representatives of various forces, and behind them were some people who came to attend the meeting.
Hearing this, many members of the forces nodded.
The archbishop of the Church of Our Lady looked at the speaker and then said.
"This is a joint decision made by the four gods. Don't rely on luck. This is the only place where we have the ability to stop the demons. If this place falls,
Although only a small island was lost, I must tell you that the fall of this island means that the destruction of the world has entered the countdown.
If you don’t have the ability to go outside this world, then you’ll have to defend this place with all your might.”
This was said bluntly and extremely bluntly.
But obviously.
Everyone present knew about this, but they just sat back in their seats with grim expressions.
The number of demons we are facing now is already very large.
But for real demons, that's the number.
What limits the number of these demons is not the number of invasions they can make, but the territory they occupy.
And the range of the defensive line that needs to be attacked.
The rifts in the abyss can continuously transport demons to the front-line battlefield.
It seems endless.
But in fact, the area they occupied was the limit to the total amount of demons they could transport.
Because of the characteristics of demons, you can't fill the occupied area with demons. Because if you do that, the demons may start fighting each other before you have time to attack the enemy.
This is what the devil's chaotic nature brings.
Even with their current numbers, the consumption between the demons is probably half of the consumption incurred by attacking humans.
This is the sea.
If the island falls.
Then the number of demons will be endless, pouring out of the cracks day and night without stopping.
By then, even if the rift leading to the abyss does not expand at all, the number of demons they will face will increase exponentially and begin to spread throughout the vast ocean.
All islands will be threatened with destruction by demonic attacks, and the entire world will become a mess, no better than the broken fragments of the world.
Because this is an ocean world, it is difficult to organize an effective defense.
Once the demons are released back into the free ocean, the world will almost certainly suffer from the demons, and the demons will have an increasing advantage until the world is destroyed, not to mention that the gods outside the world are still watching covetously.
It was the effort and luck of the four gods that they were able to trap the demon and its rift on the island and on this small piece of land so early on.
The demons on this island are like a cancer now.
But the cancer cells have not spread yet and can still be blocked.
But once we give up our defenses, cancer cells will spread throughout the world like a tide.
At that time, all you can do is slowly wait for death, or die in a desperate war.
Even the soul cannot rest in peace. It will become the devil's food, the coin of the abyss, and be reborn from the abyss to become a chaotic demon.
It is precisely because these major forces are clearly aware of this matter that they will try their best to resist it.
"Okay, everyone, instead of worrying about where these 12 trial towers are placed, why don't you listen to what functions these 12 trial towers can bring?"
The wise elder of the Holy Machine Church looked at them and said.
Everyone nodded.
"The predecessors of these 12 Trial Towers were buildings from the Golden Age that were constructed by several gods."
Hearing this, the representatives of various forces were somewhat surprised.
They really didn't expect that these 12 dark towers have been passed down from that era to the present day.
This means that the functions of these 12 trial towers will be extremely outrageous.
"Just like their name suggests, they will test anyone who enters the tower."
“But even if we don’t collect all 12 towers, they themselves will test those who enter.” said a representative of a force.
Because one of the towers was previously under their control, they had a fairly good understanding of these trial towers.
“That’s just one, and when all 12 are gathered, their functions will be amplified and produce even more powerful functions.
That is, after passing a certain trial, it will provide a suitable treasure for free to the person who passed the trial."
As soon as the words fell, it was like a bomb dropped on everyone present.
Representatives of all forces exchanged views noisily.
"A free treasure?"
"What kind of treasure can a crown level provide?"
"Are there any requirements for those who conduct the trial?"
“…”
All kinds of problems come to mind.
But you have to admire the representatives of these forces, as every question hits the mark precisely.
"quiet!"
A marine creature said loudly after slapping the entire table so hard that it almost flew up.
This is the Storm Priest of the Church of Poseidon.
In fact, it is difficult for representatives of these forces to meet members of the Church of Poseidon of this level, because they seldom attend such meetings.
If you come to attend, it means the meeting is important.
This is a marine fisherman variant of some deep-sea monster.
To be honest, it looks much more imposing than Pororo.
Of course, it is also much more ferocious.
You wouldn't think it's an intelligent creature, you'd just think it's a monster that kills without blinking an eye.
But it was effective, and everyone present immediately quieted down.
"Let our treasure master answer these questions for you."
The Archbishop smiled and looked at Alka and stretched out his hand.
Alka suddenly sat up straight when his name was called.
He thought they were just there to make up the numbers and show off.
People from all forces also turned their attention to Alka, with kind smiles on their faces.
They had never shown such a brilliant smile to the archbishops of the Four Gods Church.
no way.
They may not necessarily ask anything of the Church of the Four Gods, but for a treasure craftsman like Alka, they would really ask something of him.
After all, Alka is the only treasure craftsman in the entire world who has ever heard of him.
He is very powerful and has the support of the church, so no one can mess with him.
If you can't force someone, you can only try to please them.
Alka coughed, cleared his throat and said, “I believe some of you should know that there are actually some powerful people who survived from the golden age in the Trial Tower.
They were once loyal believers of the gods who built these 12 trial towers.
From now on you can call them instructors."
“From what they said, we know that the functions of the 12 Trial Towers and the subsequent Trial Towers themselves will not be cancelled.
It can even provide training in strength, will and even spirit for those who are stronger.
Compared to training, there is another type of trial which is a targeted trial aimed at the individual weaknesses of the trial-taker.
Trialists at stage four or below can obtain Holy Grail-level treasures after completing the trial.
You don't have to pass the level, but you must let the instructors and even the Trial Tower see that you have the will to make progress.
From the fourth stage to the sixth stage, you need to pass more than half of the trial towers to obtain a scepter-level treasure. "
To be honest, the requirements are much higher than those for Alka's previous clearance.
However, there is no limit on the number of treasures you can obtain by clearing the level, and as long as there is one person, it counts as one.
Alka, the total number of treasures that can be given is only one.
Hear Alka finish.
A representative of a faction slightly understood the technique and then said: "Although it may be a bit offensive to say this, I am indeed a little curious, where did they get so many treasures?
Or are these treasures actually limited in quantity and available on a first-come, first-served basis?"
"The treasures are unlimited, as long as you can pass the trial. But these treasures are different from the treasures we normally obtain. They have the same abilities and can bring the same benefits.
But it will not be passed on to future generations. When the owner dies, the divinity in the treasure will automatically return to the world itself.
It is equivalent to you passing the test, and it is lent to you by some pre-existing technology and the generosity of the world.
Don’t try to stop this process, it’s a rule that must be followed.”
After hearing Alka's explanation, everyone understood.
As for how this process was completed, they knew it very well without any questions.
After exchanging some details with each other, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
"So where exactly should the 12 Trial Towers be placed?"
Alka asked.
The members of the Church of the Four Gods looked at each other, and then they pointed to an area on the map.
To put it simply, it forms a circle around the huge stone pillar in the center.
"There can't be any other buildings in the center. It has to be an open space. This also has to do with the function of the building," Alka retorted.
After hearing this, they had to re-plan the storage location.
Finally, it was placed right in the center of the city.
As for the administrative capital in the center, it was simply demolished and moved to another place.
Anyway, for these powerful treasure controllers, building a building is a piece of cake.
We did what we said and the notice was issued soon.
The administrative capital was moved to the surrounding area, and then a huge square was vacated in the center. All the buildings in the square were quickly flattened, turning it into an extremely wide open space.
The huge open square attracted a lot of people to watch, and everyone wanted to know what the purpose of leaving such a large square in the central government was?
It seems like something big is about to happen.
You should know that the area of this port city is ridiculously large, and the area of the city is almost the largest in the vast ocean.
After rapid expansion over the past 10 years, this city has become the largest city in the Infinite Ocean.
The population gathered here now is at least several million.
Moreover, the number of powerful people gathered here is countless, and both the quantity and quality have reached the extreme.
Only one day passed and the preparations were completed.
Alkadu was a little surprised.
The next day he came to the square.
Standing in front of me is a huge empty square, which is several times larger than the space required for a football field.
And there were a lot of people gathered around, all wanting to know what was going on here.
The churches did not stop it too much.
There is no point since it will be so conspicuous once it is done.
Alka clasped his hands and came to the center of the square.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, he took a deep breath.
Then he opened his hands.
The 12 trial towers that he had secretly held in his hands immediately appeared.
Suddenly, 12 tall black towers appeared, and everyone around was startled.
They all retreated.
Then, the 12 black towers were arranged in a circle with even spacing according to the order in which Alka had collected them.
With a rumbling sound and smoke, the tower came into being.
Naphtos appeared again before Alka.
Look around here.
"This place is really disgusting. I smell the breath of that damn devil. Are you sure you want to put it here?"
Alka nodded.
"It seems that your generation is really courageous, well done." It was obvious that Naphtos probably understood the situation to a certain extent and exclaimed in admiration.
Then he looked at Alka and said, "Help me clear out all the people in the center of the tower siege."
Alka nodded and then told the others the information.
All the people in the central area surrounded by the tower retreated to both sides, and more and more people gathered around.
After all, the 12 trial towers suddenly appeared in the center of the city that had just been emptied yesterday, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
Alka even felt it, not just the gazes of these people, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Even the four gods cast their gazes downward.
Even the gazes of the gods who had abandoned the world, and even the gazes of the demons, could not help but fall here.
"I am determined to make progress..."
Like a golden energy body of elemental life, Naphtos was chanting a prayer to the God of Trials in the center of the square.
Then the power of the 12 trial towers began to connect with each other.
Alka could even clearly feel the connection between them, even deep underground.
Go deep into space.
Even deep into his own dreamland.
Bound to the rules of the world, firmly fixed in place.
Alka finally understood why he couldn't move, because it almost became a part of the world.
Or it is already part of the world.
How can you possibly move this unless you blow the world to pieces?
After taking deep roots.
This deep rooting is to connect the rules of time that are distributed everywhere.
After being linked to these rules, the originally dark exteriors of the 12 Trial Towers began to disappear as traces of time eroded them.
The scene that Alka had seen in the Naphtosna record appeared.
Sculptural shapes with different meanings reappeared on the surface of the Trial Tower.
Suddenly Naphtos' voice appeared in Simon's.
"Simon, I remember you had a guidance machine that hadn't been repaired yet, right?"
Simon nodded when he heard the voice.
"Throw it to me."
Simon casually took out the half-repaired but not yet completed triangle from his space ring.
Naphtos took it, and then seemed to infuse some kind of emotion and power into the center of the triangle.
Then the damaged parts of the triangle were reconstructed.
He recovered.
"Okay, I need to take a break. I'll leave the rest of the guidance to it."
After saying.
Naphtos disappears.
The triangle seemed to regain consciousness and floated in the center.
It looked at the 12 trial towers around it and trembled all over.
Alka, the leaders of various forces, and the heads of the church all gathered in the center.
"Thank you, Alka."
The triangle floated around and spoke in a mechanical voice, but one could feel the gratitude in that mechanical voice.
He was not grateful for saving him, but for allowing him to see the scene that once existed only in his mechanical memory.
Alka smiled and said, "Let me introduce the Tower of Trials to you all."
The triangle turned around and shook its body.
Then he began to tell the story.
The rules remain the same.
For example, the Trial Tower is divided into two modes: training and trial.
A person can only take the test once.
When is the best time to take the trial, what stage of strength one should be at, etc.
Apparently he knew more this time.
And the frequency of instructors' appearance in this training will no longer be as difficult as before.
Because the 12 Trial Towers have been refreshed, their essential functions no longer require certain qualifications as before, but are open to everyone.
As long as you have certain qualifications, you can get training.
More instructors will wake up from their slumber and once again carry out the will of God that they believe in and pass it on.
Soon, after fierce competition, the first batch of 12 places were selected.
Alka looked at it.
The strength of the 12 places ranges from stage 1 to stage 6, with two people in each stage.
Apparently it was used for experiments.
Arka smiled and stopped caring about it. After all, to be honest, these 12 Trial Towers were of little use to them, but they were of great use to the whole world.
What Alka is more concerned about now is that the aura on the three treasures obtained from the God of Rebirth has been completely eliminated.
The God of Rebirth must have already taken steps to eliminate it, or it has not been used for a long time.
The aura on it was temporarily stained when he and Alka were fighting.
This also indirectly shows that the new god has already stripped away these divinities .
