"So you are not only an alien, but you are also a demigod hero like those in ancient Greek mythology who have a god father?"
The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, had just left, and Tony Stark couldn't help but come forward.
As the only audience at the scene, he heard all the previous conversations clearly.
Especially when Balthazar mentioned his life experience, Iron Man was shocked.
Likewise, he also realized why the other party had such outrageous physical qualities and supernatural powers that could not be explained by science.
If these all come from gods, then everything would be explained.
"I am only the son of God, not a demigod, nor a hero. I can only be considered a quasi-divine at best.
In my world, demigods are true gods with weak divine power. There is a huge difference between the two.
A true god can create any known substance out of thin air.
It can easily destroy a planet like the earth or a star like the sun.
The most powerful god among them can even create his own domain, and can elevate a mortal to a powerful divine power at any time, or demote a powerful divine power to the mortal world."
Balthazar felt the divine power flowing through his blood at this moment and gave an explanation.
Since Baal died completely and was made into an immortal evil god, his divine power characteristics are no longer full of blood, violence, killing and destruction as before, but have been completely transformed into something of his own.
This is why Balthazar did not use magical runes to seal divine power like before, but instead used it at will without any scruples.
As long as he is willing, he can grant believers divine spells of the second level and below.
The diary sent it to the earth of this universe in order for the divine warrior monk to gain faith and worship, and then complete a further transformation.
It doesn't matter whether he becomes a true god or a quasi-god like an elemental lord.
After all, nowhere is the power of faith and worship more readily available than on earth in modern society.
Although human society has been emphasizing that it is becoming more and more civilized, the most typical example is the declining influence of religion.
But in fact, this is just the weakening of religious power and the fact that the primitive and backward teachings of the past can no longer adapt to the rapid changes in modern society. It does not mean that faith and worship have disappeared.
Quite the opposite!
This kind of belief and worship has been transferred from the ancient gods of the past to actors, singers, rich people, Internet celebrities, politicians, sports stars, virtual idols, paper figurine wives, superheroes, etc.
Look at those young people who engage in all sorts of abstract behaviors in pursuit of stars;
Look at those fools who have gone bankrupt or even taken out loans and committed crimes just to provide money for Internet celebrities;
There is also a fool who is obviously just a poor person, but he sympathizes with capitalists and rich people on the Internet and then defends them desperately.
All these prove that faith and worship have never truly left human society.
There is not even the slightest difference from the ancients who were regarded as primitive and stupid thousands of years ago.
The only thing that changes is the objects of belief and worship.
Zuo Si and Diary both know very well that in the Marvel universe, superheroes are the easiest group to gain faith and admiration.
However, Balthazar obviously does not know this, and simply regards himself as an envoy sent to station in another world, enjoying the customs and customs here that are completely different from those in Faerûn.
But what he said clearly shocked Iron Man.
As a genius scientist, Tony Stark has always been a staunch atheist, and firmly believes that the so-called gods never existed, but were just tools used by ancient rulers to fool the people at the bottom, just like the church organizations that are still operating in Europe and the United States.
Same.
Generally speaking, there are only three types of people who frequent this kind of place.
The first type of people are those who do not believe in it but want to use the power of the church to gain fame, power and wealth.
The second type is a fool who is not very smart and will regard a Bible with nonsense logic, inconsistencies, and loopholes as a rule of life to abide by.
The third type is simpler, that is, scumbags who have done too many dirty deeds want to "atone" for their sins by donating to the church, thereby gaining spiritual comfort, and delusionally thinking that they can still go to heaven after death.
“So what exactly is God?”
Tony was silent for a long time and finally asked the doubt in his heart.
Just when Balthazar was about to answer, a loud noise caused by the rotation of the helicopter's propeller blades suddenly came from above.
A large number of helicopters with military logos and ground troops were seen rushing into the city center area.
While they were photographing and inspecting the deep pits dug into the ground, they surrounded the two people in the center.
However, the military did not directly point guns at Balthazar and Tony like it did with the Hulk, but simply isolated them.
Although many times, the U.S. military feels like a brainless fool who can only rely on its official status to oppress others.
In fact, everyone treated in this way is basically the kind of unlucky guy who wants background but no background, wants backstage but not backstage, and wants influence but not influence.
Once they encounter real difficulties, they behave more calmly and restrained than anyone else.
After all, if a fight breaks out, you will be the one risking your life.
This is definitely not the same thing as bullying small countries and guerrillas that don't even have many anti-aircraft weapons.
It was obviously the first time that Tony saw such a "civilized" and "polite" US military. He decisively opened his visor and asked in an uncertain tone: "Why don't they come over?"
"Because they do not have direct access to Mr. Balthazar."
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Coulson finally led the SHIELD people to fly down from the sky in a Quinjet.
Since there are deep pits of various sizes all around, it is basically impossible to drive in.
The military even blocked all entrances and exits of the entire city, and prohibited all people who escaped from returning on the pretext that the danger had not been eliminated.
the reason is simple!
Neither the President's Office nor the top management of SHIELD had thought of any excuse to cover up this cult incident.
You must know that this is not a small matter where dozens or even hundreds of people died, but the death toll exceeded five figures. The entire city center was simply as if it had been bombarded by a meteorite rain.
It's obviously not possible to use a lame excuse like a natural gas pipeline explosion.
As for announcing the true situation to the outside world, don’t even think about it.
The reason why the earth in this universe originally announced the existence of aliens to the outside world was because the scale of the Avengers' first battle in New York was so huge that it was completely impossible to hide it, so they only revealed it to the outside world as a last resort.
People revealed some truths.
It's obviously far from that level yet.
After getting off the plane, Colson handed over a brand new suit without saying a word, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Balthazar. If you weren't here, I wouldn't have done anything."
I don’t know how this situation will end today.”
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Balthazar took the clothes, shoes and socks and put them on without haste, and returned to his previous gentle look.
As a warrior monk who formerly believed in the moon goddess Suellen, he had read quite a few books in the monastery, and he also often meditated and practiced hard to temper his will.
After the developed muscles and momentum were restrained, the terror of the previous battle was no longer felt.
"If you don't mind, could you tell me about the yellow-robed monk who suddenly appeared and disappeared?
We've been following this mysterious figure for a long time.
She always appears somewhere suddenly and disappears again.
Four children and two young people were also taken away."
As he said that, Coulson took out his mobile phone and showed the image of the Supreme Mage Ancient One captured by satellites and surveillance cameras.
The neatly dressed Balthazar glanced at it and replied without thinking: "This is the founder of Maca Taj, the most powerful spellcaster on earth, the Supreme Mage Ancient One. Before your country appeared, she
He has led his disciples to protect this planet from being devoured by various supernatural forces, especially those powerful dimensional demons."
"Mage Supreme? You mean, there is also a magical institution on our planet?" Colson's eyes widened in surprise.
Balthazar nodded slightly: "That's right.
Not only do you have mages here, but you also have real demons.
It's just that Gu Yi used his own strength to force them back again and again.
So don't worry, the Mage Supreme is on your side.
Oh, by the way, I may be away for a few days, so I'll let you know in advance."
