Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 761 - 271: The Way of War in the Mythological Era_3

Listening to Laine recount the essence of All Gods, Andrea couldn’t help feeling an inexplicable thrill.

Perhaps father and those aristocrats knew of the existence of "Kingship Order" as well, after all, they had all partaken in wars themselves.

But Andrea was certain, they definitely did not know these behind-the-scenes secrets.

"Of course, although the gods can no longer use Divine Power in the Mortal Realm, they can still exert a macroscopic influence to some extent, though it’s not as strong as before."@@@@

"Before the constraints were in place, the Goddess of Agriculture could wither the plants of half the world, and the Wind Gods could stir up an unceasing wind that covered the eastern continents."

"So Theseus’s deterrence is because of the combined strength of his power and the national power of Athens, not merely due to his own might. Only by possessing both can he keep the gods restless."

"Of course," Laine added at the end of his narrative, "since this power is a manifestation of the ’Kingship Order,’ it also originates from mortals’ recognition and adherence to life, so it’s not instantaneous."

"To unilaterally declare war is meaningless; you need to make your citizens aware of your war. To unilaterally declare that a person has committed a serious crime is also pointless; only when a person’s sins are known to all will they be penalized. Therefore, using this power for a surprise attack, luring a formidable person into an ambush by the army, is impossible, as he would realize your malice beforehand."

"And this does not mean strong beings are useless on the battlefield; they just can no longer change the outcome of a battle single-handedly. As long as there is no absolute disparity between the two parties, they can still influence the course of the battle."

"In essence, this power actually conforms to the collective will of most life forms under an order system."

"They wish to be meaningful as a ’number.’ And the ’Kingship Order’ grants them that."
