Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 818 - 47: The Threat of the Gods

After figuring out the current power structure of the Empire, Ellie also abandoned her previous 'I'm doing this for your own good' attitude and humbly confessed her thoughts to Perfikot.

"The gods have already readjusted their attitude towards humanity. They are very dissatisfied that the recent white disaster did not wipe out humanity. The previous blizzard in the Northern Territory was manipulated by the gods behind the scenes." Ellie revealed a shocking piece of news to Perfikot as soon as she spoke.

"Although it's not beyond my expectations, I still have to say, they really are pure beasts!" Perfikot couldn't help but curse.

Ellie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, agreeing, "Yes! They are indeed rotten to the core! Even if humans no longer worship and believe in them, they shouldn't create such a massive disaster to kill so many people!"

Though Ellie is not human, she has a great deal of sympathy for them, which is why she wants to help humanity resist the targeting and divine punishment from the gods.

"After coming to the Northern Territory, I saw that your main focus is still on industrial production and city construction, and I worry that you might not be able to cope with the full-scale assault from the gods. So, I hope you can adjust your strategy," Ellie candidly shared her thoughts and explained, "Only by assembling your armies and preparing for war can you resist the gods' assault, because they truly want to exterminate you. You must stop the gods at all costs."

Perfikot didn't refute Ellie's statement this time because she knew it was indeed the truth. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This global cataclysm was a great flood initiated by the gods to cleanse humanity worldwide.

According to the gods' original plan, this should have eliminated more than ninety percent of the world's population.

But because of Perfikot's existence, this plan undoubtedly collapsed.

In the old world, humanity might indeed have suffered severe casualties, but the old world nations received technology from Victory for constructing Energy Towers and shelters, allowing a significant portion of the population to survive the apocalypse.

Initially, the gods intended to personally intervene to resolve the issue, but Perfikot's battle in Langton disrupted their processes and plans.

So later on, they were forced to accept the existence of the Northern Territory and focus primarily on the old world, attempting to rebuild their respective divine realms.

After all, even the gods need followers.

They had left and remained silent for thousands of years, driving many divine beings nearly to madness, and their craving for belief is now extremely intense.

This is precisely why a follower of the Goddess of Beauty tried to lure Perfikot into a dream to control the Northern Territory, hoping to make everyone there believe in the gods again.

The Northern Territory has now become a massive piece of meat in the gods' eyes; no one would mind devouring it if they could.

Of course, if they can't consume it, or if they can't have it themselves, the gods don't mind eradicating humanity's last hope.

Recently, with a few divine beings collaborating, they plan to launch a new offensive on humanity, using various natural disasters and other means to force humanity to submit to the gods' power.

Ellie learned about this and rushed to the Northern Territory, hoping to warn humanity of the threat from the gods and to rally and prepare to counter the possible 'assault' from the gods.

"Seeing the construction of the Floating Battleship, I felt this weapon could effectively resist the gods' armies, so I wanted them to produce it quickly, so you would have weapons to counter the gods." Ellie explained quietly and timidly, "I really didn't mean it, and I didn't have them cut corners! I've been using my divine power to influence them, allowing them to work efficiently, please don't be mad..."

Ellie does have some fear of Perfikot, mainly because Beifa by her side seems very intimidating to Ellie.

Imagine someone killing a person and turning the corpse into a puppet, standing right in front of you; you can't help but feel your scalp tingle and wonder if you're next.

But Perfikot wasn't bothered by this. She was more interested in the information Ellie had just mentioned: "You said your divine power can make workers work more efficiently, which is why this Floating Battleship was completed so much earlier than expected?"

"Yes, my divine power can influence human labor efficiency! Although, in essence, it improves a person's mood and mental state, and if someone has a good mood and mental state, their work efficiency truly increases greatly!" Ellie proudly mentioned her divine power, even puffing up her impressive chest.

Perfikot glanced at her figure with indifference, continuing to ask, "What is the mechanism of this ability? How long can you maintain your influence? What are the limitations on range and the number of people affected?"

"Oh dear, you asked so many questions all at once. How am I supposed to answer? I don't know which one to answer first~!" Ellie, seeing Perfikot's attention on this issue, seemed more at ease and returned to her original tone.

But Perfikot sensed something, closed her left eye, observing Ellie with just her right eye, and nodded thoughtfully, "I see, it's the language, isn't it?"

"Language is part of it. My movements, voice, and smile can affect ordinary people, making them feel uplifted and spirited!" Ellie nodded affirmatively, "But I'm only a Demigod, and there's a limit to what I can do; influencing a single factory is my absolute limit.

This is why I keep running to factories every day, to ensure the divine power maintains its effect."

"It sounds a bit impractical, but overall it's somewhat useful." Perfikot nodded, not minding at all.

She needs a sample of this ability. Once she understands it, she can use the omniscient abilities of the Jade Record to recreate it with alchemy.

After that, spreading and replicating this result throughout the Northern Territory can effectively enhance labor efficiency and improve production efficiency.

"Your ability is very useful, but I hope you temporarily stop affecting others, as for the factories..." Perfikot paused to think, then said, "You can go and play in the shipyard if you want; you can continue to influence the workers' efficiency there, that's up to you, but don't affect Deputy Prime Minister Kafka anymore. Politics isn't as simple as you think. State policy-making involves considering many factors..."
