This is a history book and not a magic book, and in fact many of the books in Kama Taj's huge library are not magic books. Most of Kama Taj's reading is even over the Internet, and yes, there is even WIFI here.

His Holiness encouraged everyone to use technology invented by humans instead of magic, and everyone was reluctant to use magic too much. The power of magicians comes from magic, but they are the most afraid of magic.

Casillas opened the history book, which is called The Origin of Man.

A long, long time ago, after the long years of the age of dinosaurs, there were more monkeys walking down the tree on the earth.

They walked down the trees, they made a fire, they lost everything they were monkeys, and gradually they became people.

From Australopithecus (Australopithecus) to Homo Habilis (HomoHabilis) to Homo erectus (HomoErectus stage) and Homo (GenusHomo), human beings slowly shed their beast parts and began to evolve.

At this time, visitors from the universe visited the earth, and also visited these 'beasts'

The omnipotent cosmic gods chose the earth as their testing ground. Nezarr the Calculator personally interfered directly with a Homo erectus race and created the infinitely powerful and indestructible demigod Eternal Race ( Eternals), the collector Gammenon transformed Homo erectus into strange monsters (Deviants) that can constantly mutate, have a variety of appearances, and mimic everything, and the last detective Oneg (Oneg) designed found a potential gene in early Homo erectus without directly modifying his experiment.

The cosmic gods left the earth, and the overlords of the earth at that time were the Eternals and the anomalies. Of course, a fierce war broke out between them.

In the end, the **** group came to the earth again, and saw that the two creatures of their own did not coexist peacefully, but the war continued. They regarded the abnormal person as a failure of their own, so they created various disasters on the earth to destroy these failed products. The abnormal people's country "Lemuria" was submerged by a huge flood, the abnormal people almost wiped out their families, and the flood also sank the eternal people's country "Atlantis" to the bottom of the sea.

The Flood also threatened the survival of other species on Earth, Utnapishtim, a wise man of the Eternals who survived the Flood, built an ark to save most of the animals and some humans, another. Ikaris, an Eternals, led the ark to Mount Ararat, and he was always on the alert above the ark. The humans on the ark mistook Ikaris for a bird, and the story eventually became part of human folklore.

After this story, Yutnapishtim was called Noah by later generations.

After that, some members of the Eternals migrated to other planets in the solar system, and the Cree who witnessed the powerful Eternals also chose to come to Earth, transforming some human beings into similar Inhumans with strange abilities (Inhumans)

I have to say that this book is absolutely wonderful enough and esoteric enough. If it is published, it will undoubtedly subvert the history of mankind so far.

And most importantly, it's all true.

There is no library in the world that can compare to the reality of Kama Taj, and no historical record can be more accurate than Kama Taj.

Casillas read the book overnight, and when he found Mordo the next day with red eyes, he asked in a hoarse tone

"But you still haven't answered my question!"

"God is just a word, a title." Mordo replied lightly

"Dimensional Demon God, Asgard, Eternal Race, Cosmic God, they can all be called gods in a sense,"

"You know what I'm asking!"

"The gods of the earth and the gods of Asgard are the result of the battle between the ancient God Eater and Gaia."

Mordo put the book back in the library and said softly

"They're not nothing, they're real, but combined with illusory structures."

"You who have read this book should know the relationship between the Eternals and the gods of Olympus, right?"

Casillas nodded, of course he remembered that in this record of human history, the Eternals—actually the Titans in Greek mythology.

But in fact, the Eternals have no blood relationship with the gods of Olympus, and it is difficult to say who is more ancient and ancient when both parties pursue history. It's just because of the battle for worship caused by the proximity of the Eternals and the gods of Olympus in some way, so that there is a war between them.

The once ancient leaders of the Eternals were Knoros and Uranus, but after a civil war all fell silent, and at last with the great flood all was gone. Neither the Eternals nor the anomalous got the world, but the most ordinary human beings got the world domination.

"But it's not right!" Casillas frowned.

"In the 'Book of Weishan Emperor', it is clearly recorded that Agamotto defeated the raging gods in ancient times and established Kama Taj, giving mortal freedom. But if this historical development is followed, then what exactly is Agamotto? When were the gods of the earth dealt with?"

"Casillas, what do you think the time in this world is like?" Mordo asked rhetorically.

"History and time in ancient times are not calculated according to simple progress, and the ancient earth is not only 'surface'. The war between the Eternals and the gods of Olympus, the struggle between the gods, the great war caused by the gods of the universe Floods, these can all happen at the same time."

Midgard is the atrium world of the Nine Realms, in other words, the core of the Uktrahir Link of the World Tree.

Although not as special as the Earth in the DC world next door, Midgard also has a special place in the universe.

Standing out from so many demons and ghosts in ancient times and sweeping the world, the responsibilities and difficulties of Kama Taj and the Supreme Master can be seen.

"But if this great flood was initiated by the Cosmic Deity Group, then..."

"Why do the gods claim they did it?" Mordo said before he asked Casillas.

"That's because, that's what they do."

"What?" Casillas frowned.

"Didn't you just ask me what the nature of my gods is?" Mo Du said lightly

"They were born from the earth and are inextricably linked to human beings. They are not shadows of illusion, they are born powerful as gods. But they can also draw strength from illusion, be influenced by illusion, and even change from illusion. world."

"Faith is also an invisible force."

41. God of gods, king of kings

Wednesday and Banner were very silent all the way. To be precise, Banner was very silent. Wednesday could even be said to be very cheerful whistling and looking at the scenery outside the car window.

They ended up at a board game storefront.

Yes, you heard that right, a board game shop.

The person we were looking for on Wednesday is here.

"So...you're a **** too?"

After arriving at his destination, Banner finally opened his closed mouth and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

If it were him before and talking about gods or gods, he would only politely think that it was just a trick of religion and idealism.

But now, he has faltered.

In other words, he has gradually accepted Wednesday's sophistry-like logic. Why can't there be a **** in this world? What is the difference between a thing that is powerful enough for ordinary people to understand, and God?

Even if possible, Banner and the Hulk in his body are satisfied with the logic of 'God' for most people in this world.

"I like to leave the answer until the end." Wednesday got out of the car with a smile and stood in front of the board game shop in front of him.

This is a bustling board game shop with a lot of people. It is divided into three floors. The first floor is a bright game hall, the second floor is a special game box, and the third floor seems to be the boss's private room. area.

This is a very ordinary board game shop that doesn't seem to be anything special or wrong.

A place not to be seen everywhere in New York, but definitely not rare.

However, in such a board game shop, there is an ancient mythical **** king.

In other words, an ancient mythical **** king actually chose to open such a mediocre board game shop in the mortal world, which is very magical in itself.

Although Banner did not have a deep understanding of theology, he still knew Greek mythology. If it was Athena who took him to visit before Wednesday, who else would her father be but Zeus?

Moreover, mastering the lightning, the goshawk, the white bull, the combination of so many elements is no longer a hint, it is completely the identity of Zeus!

"Wordis, don't you think it's incredible? Do you think the gods you see are very down-to-earth?"

Aware of Banner's eyes and doubts, Wednesday said with a smile

"...Yes, and also, you can call me by my real name."

Banner nodded slightly and said calmly.

After confirming that his companions and the guy he was about to find were very human, Banner also put down all his knots and caution - after all, they are not ordinary people, not ordinary people who will be easily torn apart by the Hulk .

"The root of the problem is that we on Earth are not allowed to be unscrupulous," sighed Wednesday.

"A long, long time ago...before I was born in general, there were some very troublesome guys protecting the Earth."

"They made rules, enforced violence, and restrained the gods - the gods at that time did not depend on mortals, and in fact they do not now. After a few dealings, everyone felt that there was no need to conflict with those guys, so they simply agreed to his ask."

"The gods belong to the gods, and the mortals belong to the mortals. The gods return to their own world and no longer interfere with the mortal world at will, and human beings have also lost the care and malice of the gods."

"Sounds like an old story." Banner nodded.

"But for the gods, it's nothing in itself to set foot in the mortal world." Wednesday laughed.

"It may be difficult for you to understand, but the earth is a separate and special world. It is the center of many things, so he is like a cake with aroma that keeps attracting people to come up and divide him."

"The gods can be one of them, but they can also not be. The gods and the people who protect the world are not enemies but allies in a sense, and the earth is actually the hometown of the gods. Because of this, the gods returned to the mortal world. In time, as long as they do not go too far, the people who guard here will not interfere, and for the gods, it is not much fun to meddle in mortal things, and the great progress that mortals think is just a blink of an eye in the eyes of gods. That's it."

"You mean, gods don't need mortal worship." Banner whispered

"Of course, even that old **** in heaven doesn't need the help of worship. It's true that the worship of mortals will give us something we don't have, but it will also be tied down. The most important thing is that giving and receiving are not the same. It must be proportional."

"Then...you said that the gods once created disasters?"

"It's nothing but imitation and grafting." Wednesday waved his hands

"Do you know why there is a flood in myths all over the world? This is a plagiarism. When the first great flood came, the gods grafted these concepts on themselves and participated in it. In a sense, they took the initiative to create To slaughter humans with destruction to sift through these floods for their satisfaction is also an experiment, testing how helpful human fears, beliefs, and worship can be."

"Then... what's the result?" Banner clenched his fists slightly and whispered

"Very bad." Wednesday said lightly

"The beliefs born by the inhabitants of a barren, numb, and weak world are insignificant. There are always mortals who think that fanatical beliefs must be powerful, but the light of belief born of a weak and barren soul is destined to be weak."

"Unlike modern times, humans have made great progress after being separated from the gods. Although your science is nothing in the universe, you were born to understand many different 'concepts' and 'beliefs'. ."

"Like Newton and gravity?" Banner asked tentatively

"Yeah, it's like Newton and gravity!" Wednesday laughs

"You finally get it, Vodice! How many people who think that gravity is the truth really understand gravity, and how many really understand the nature of gravity? They just think it's common sense, it's inevitable, so they don't want to invent this. The Newton of Newton and gravity itself exert the most devout faith."

The most devout believers are not mad believers, but 'normal people'

Because everything you know is recognized as truth and common sense, and this thinking that everything is taken for granted is the most devout and pure faith.

"Most of the ancient human worship of the gods came from their power."

Wednesday teasing the crow on his shoulder, said lightly

"Or, it comes from their ignorance of nature. Mortals think these concepts are powerful, earthquakes, lightning, fire, death - but they don't know that these beliefs are too empty, because they are powerful, they are empty, because It's empty so it doesn't provide much power at all."

Humans fear the slash of lightning, so they believe in lightning and insist on worshipping it. Cast this purely natural belief in gods who are born with power.

But lightning is lightning, and natural phenomena are not controlled by someone or something because of a few empty cults. And ignorant beliefs do not understand that the power of the empty beliefs formed is so weak.

The so-and-so gods who seem to be tall are actually just false names.

"And modern is different, Banner, completely different." Wed pointed to the TV next to him and laughed.

"Would you believe that if the concept of television could become a god, the faith he would harvest from those Christians who believed in Jehovah would be a million times more!"

"The **** of the new age... the new god?" Banner whispered

"What kind of power is faith?"

"It's the belief that it is the mass of thought that transforms the material world in an idealistic way, transforming the subject of matter with the object of thought," explained Wednesday.

"This world is materialistic, but also idealistic. The composition of the universe and dimensions cannot be analyzed by a simple concept, and even the physical rules brought about by different scales of the universe will be completely different."

Banner didn't say much, this was an area he didn't understand and couldn't understand. One of the most valuable things he's learned after all this time is to shut up. Don't think or judge things you don't even know.

"Okay, let's visit my old friend."

On Wednesday, I led Banner into this board game store. It was not surprising that there were not many customers here, the fans were turning slowly, and only Miu Miu and a few game tables were gathered together to play board games such as DND.

There are no staff, no reception, but everything is in order and no one seems to have any undue thoughts.

There are several different famous paintings hanging on the wall. Banner does not know if it is true, but there is no doubt that the gold frame must be very valuable.

This kind of thing hangs in the living room so grandly. If Banner in New York can guarantee that it will be stolen before the afternoon.

Wednesday led Banner to the second floor, where they met their target.

It was a middle-aged man who looked dusty. He was dressed in a very geeky style, with a peaked cap, and was concentrating on assembling this model at the table.

Even though he had been prepared, Banner still felt stunned and speechless when he saw the legendary god-king Zeus in such a posture.

"Long time no see, old friend."

Wednesday unobtrusively pulled out the chair and sat in front of Zeus. The **** king who was assembling the ship model also put down his work and looked up at Wednesday.

"What day is it today?"

"Wednesday," said Mr. Wednesday

"So? Are you here to declare war?" Zeus smiled and scratched his beard-covered face, then took out the umbrella under the table

"Yes, I'm here to declare war!" Wednesday laughed

"But it's not you who will declare war! Old friend, we will declare war on—human beings!"

"Ha! Aren't you afraid that Gu will go to Asgard to talk to you again and again?"

"Are you scared old friend?" Wednesday smiled

"If you were afraid, you wouldn't greet me with thunder and lightning at high altitudes. You and I both understand in my heart that this sacred timeline that has been moving forward has changed."

"And Gu Yi, she won't be in charge of us for a long time!" When he heard that Wednesday and Zeus made such a 'declaration of war' in front of him without hesitation, Banner jumped up almost immediately.
