After hearing Ren's words, the Goddess of Magic's eyes clearly brightened.

Second-gen Magic Net rings—anyone could use them. Recently they'd only been popularized and tested in the Kingdom of Dawn's capital.

Lately, Ren and the others had been constantly observing how ordinary non-supernatural people near the Dawn capital, or other types of supernatural beings, used the Magic Net and what the usage results were like. The test results could be said to be very impressive.

Those nobles and scholars used the Magic Net even more intensely than magicians. They often played for entire days. They also seemed to discuss some books from the Magic Net in their private communications. Under this stimulus, to avoid losing face at noble banquets, they'd read books day and night even more.

Though there weren't many who used the "database" function to manage territories like Viscount Roster, it brought even greater rewards instead.

Of course, many weird "forums" also appeared in the Magic Space—noble etiquette forum, noble fashion forum, noble matchmaking forum, knight honor forum, and so on. They'd discuss new etiquette versus old etiquette, different countries' etiquette, classical clothing, marriages between nobles, brainwashing knights with the honor system, etc. The only forum that looked normal was the territorial governance and war strategy forum, but in reality, what they discussed was how to exchange hostages, how to issue war declarations with more noble bearing, etc. It really made Ren's jaw drop.

But they were truly very enthusiastic about discussing these things, spending at least several hours on it daily. Plus they'd frequently activate the Magic Net to argue with others. It seemed the restraint and noble etiquette constraints in reality also made them quite repressed. On the internet, they could throw heavy punches!

In comparison, the "forums" created by knights, stealth specialists, and many other supernatural beings who couldn't use magic power were much more normal, and perfectly filled in the knowledge gaps in "Magic Encyclopedia," "Magic Know," and many other features.

The first collision of different supernatural systems made the encyclopedia a true encyclopedia. Various different supernatural beings, nobles, scholars made knowledge incredibly abundant. Plus with the addition of special industry associations like the Church of Creation Association, they filled in most of the knowledge that could be found on the continent.

The appearance of the second-gen Magic Net, the only negative impact was probably that magicians' superiority complex seemed to be seriously challenged. But they couldn't possibly give up the Magic Net, so they could only complain online, ultimately concluding with one sentence: "The Magic Net has gone bad too," then continue using it.

"Full popularization?"

"Half-full, I guess." Ren thought about it. "Following the current model, directly fill all locations. The Kingdom of Dawn and Elven Kingdom officially sell them. The Gray Fort Empire requires more sacrifices. The City-State Alliance... After a while, when magic-tech industry starts popularizing and large numbers of literate people appear, we'll use the gold coins 'donated' to us by these wealthy people to produce more low-priced Magic Net rings, thoroughly popularizing them into special products that everyone can own."

The Goddess of Magic looked at Ren and for a moment didn't know what to say. In her view, large-scale deployment across the continent, letting those nobles, supernatural beings, and other elite classes use it already counted as full popularization.

But for Ren, it needed to fully cover everyone to count as popularization... She didn't even dare imagine what Ren had once described—literacy rate exceeding 90%, literate people all using the Magic Net—what a terrifying scene that would be. Just like she couldn't imagine what scene it would be if magic-tech industry brought huge population changes and the population might quadruple within ten years.

"Do you need me to do anything?" The Goddess of Magic quickly calmed down, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"I want to imitate the [Mechanical War Body] authority and develop mechs with popularization potential, to popularize them to the Church of Technology..."

"You want me to help you complete mass-produced 'mechs'? You want to seize the God of War's authority?!" The Goddess of Magic said this and suddenly understood Ren's idea.

"What, he's allowed to erode my authority but I'm not allowed to erode his?" A thick smile appeared on Ren's face. "Besides, mechs—this is definitely one of technology's greatest romances!"

Once mech legions were deployed in the mortal realm, they'd face almost all enemies with a crushing posture. Just a few small moves and he could seize large amounts of the God of War's authority...

"Alright, once you finish explaining the new feature to Book, we can start."

The Goddess of Magic wasn't surprised that Ren wanted to swallow the God of War. Their entanglement was just too deep. Since he wanted to swallow him, then let him swallow. She'd stay by his side and work hard together.

The God of War was just a slightly stronger god anyway.

This time, the kingdom army gathered quickly.

Early the next morning, the kingdom army carrying Magic Conductor swords and magic bombs officially departed from the capital, heading south.

Almost at the same time, missionaries located in the south also learned all this through the Magic Net, relying on informants.

Immediately, large-scale plundering began. All Holy Armies started attacking and plundering every human settlement almost frantically.

The southern territory.

Blackstone City, one of the Kingdom of Dawn's most fertile lands. Dozens of small volcanic eruptions happened here every year. Often these volcanic eruptions would bring large amounts of volcanic ash. Relying on this volcanic ash, grain production was often far higher than other places.

But now, the entire Blackstone City was a mess, with crying and shouting everywhere.

A burly man looked at all this, his face full of shock, confusion, and suffering. He was Geyera, bishop of the Church of the God of War's southern diocese in the Kingdom of Dawn. Before joining the Church of War, he'd once been a famous general. People loved to call him the Lava General because in every war, he was like lava—swift, quick, invincible. For some special reasons, he'd ended his war career and joined the Church of War, wanting to dedicate the rest of his life to the god through his faith!

But everything he discovered now far exceeded his imagination. He'd never thought the Church of War would do such things... He didn't understand why the War Temple would issue such orders. He'd had huge conflicts with the missionaries sent by the Church of War. He'd been ordered to temporarily go home and rest, not to participate in Church of War affairs... All this, he endured, because he felt he was just a small bishop and didn't know what the god actually wanted to do.

But he firmly believed that god loved the world.

But when his hometown, everything he was familiar with, places he could be 100% certain had no problems, when such things happened under the Holy Army's iron hooves, he began to waver!
