God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 294: Changing Terrain

Chapter 294: Changing Terrain
High-end rituals often required simple venues. The workers who’d been busy for five and a half hours looked somewhat shocked at the scene before them.
With the assistance of a large group of magicians, they’d just built a solid altar like that.
Almost everyone from the entire mining area had arrived at the scene. Everyone stared intensely at the scene before them.
They’d already learned that the God of Technology was about to bestow a miracle here.
A miracle!
They might not be believers of the God of Technology, but that didn’t stop them from wanting to see a miracle.
What’s more, this miracle was about the mine itself.
What if it affected them?
No—it would definitely affect them!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be here at all.
"I heard that the God of Technology’s believers’ mines all use special tools for mining. Whether it’s efficiency or safety, they’re way better than our methods."
"I’m not hoping for anything else. I just hope the God of Technology’s miracle can make all those monsters in the cave disappear. So many people died because of those monsters before."
"Recently, the Church of Technology’s clerics have been hunting these monsters in the mine every day. Maybe they can actually handle it!"
While the miners whispered, the combat clerics had also arrived at the scene.
Looking at these tech combat clerics wearing War Soldier exoskeletons, the surrounding discussion quieted down a lot.
This was instinctive fear.
Lava General saw that the time had arrived. Gritting his teeth, he went straight on stage.
Complex prayer words, every step’s movements seemed carefully selected. Compared to every sacrifice Ren had seen before, this was way more elaborate.
Never mind anything else—it was pretty aesthetically pleasing.
The sacrifice kept going. At the step that originally should’ve been similar to the Church of War doing something to the Flame of War, at Lava General’s command, all thousand combat clerics on site almost simultaneously fired a flame vortex into the sky.
This was the magic used in the God of Technology’s first display of technological war power in the mortal realm, and also a highly aesthetic magic.
The miners on site suddenly felt some heat around them, almost scared to death. Some timid people were already prostrating on the ground, wanting to shout that they could give up their original faith and become believers of the God of Technology...
Anyway, they’d already gone through this once to stay alive.
The Church of War’s clerics had coerced them the same way back then.
But soon, they also noticed something was wrong.
Those flames shot straight up into the sky, bursting into flame vortexes in the sky that looked really, really beautiful.
Not a single person was injured by these flames.
Just as these flames were about to fade and everyone was waiting for the next move, suddenly, the earth started shaking.
Mountains, mines, buildings, people... Everything was shaking.
As if the entire world was on a sailboat. Now, with a storm coming, the sailboat was being tossed left and right.
Some people couldn’t stand steady and fell to the ground.
This situation stimulated everyone’s hearts. Some people with weaker stress resistance couldn’t help crying out.
Many people felt this was the God of Technology’s punishment for them as heretics.
Fear spread through the crowd.
Lava General was also somewhat surprised. Did he succeed and obtain a miracle, or did he fail and was now being punished by the God of Technology?!
Doubt spread in his heart. Thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
He even had an impulse to tell Viscount Roster what was happening now and have him analyze it.
But he couldn’t.
Not now.
The ceremony wasn’t over yet!
If he did something at this time, it might really trigger endless trouble.
He could only continue with gritted teeth.
Fear kept spreading through the crowd. Some people had even started feeling somewhat desperate.
But right then, someone suddenly cried out in surprise, "Look over there! Is that iron ore? How did iron ore come out on its own?"
The surprised voice didn’t spread very far in such a chaotic scene, but it still got quite a few people’s attention.
As more and more people focused on the nearby mine mountain, the crowd seemed to gradually calm down.
Soon, the ground beneath their feet also started changing.
Who knows if it was an illusion, but they felt like the soil under their feet seemed to have gained the ability to flow, continuously flowing downward while lifting some things up.
"It’s iron ore!"
"The ground beneath our feet has also turned into iron ore!"
"A miracle! Is this the God of Technology’s miracle?! If so, are we about to get rich?!"
"Hahaha, it really is iron ore! Iron ore everywhere! Looks like we won’t need to go underground to mine anymore."
Facing this ground full of iron ore, they weren’t panicked.
Even if the mine turned into an open-pit mine, extraction would still require lots of miners.
For them, although they lost the task of getting huge bonuses for exploring veins, their daily safety increased dramatically.
Never mind what happened to those monsters—they were all collecting on land now. What problems could there be?
As for cave-ins and stuff, even less need to worry.
It seemed they’d suddenly been liberated from a high-risk industry.
On the altar, looking at all this, Lava General’s heart was also shocked. So the God of Technology’s miracle was aimed at this mine.
He thought... it was aimed at the worm monsters.
But whatever, didn’t seem to matter anymore.
In the current situation, whether the worm monsters existed or not was already not a problem. Anyway, they definitely couldn’t threaten Foster Iron Mine’s extraction. No—extraction had become countless times easier.
They would never lack iron ore again.
The iron ore here seemed inexhaustible and easy to collect.
However, right then, suddenly, a whole bunch of worm monsters somehow flew out from underground too.
Lava General’s eyelids jumped. Did all the worm monsters come out? Why so many? How was he supposed to contain them?!
If it really didn’t work, just eliminate them with magic!
Worried about causing trouble, Lava General could only apologize to his church brothers.
But obviously, his worry was unnecessary. Cages made of some kind of black ore also appeared out of nowhere, wrapping all the worm monsters in the sky, and just dropped beside the other worm monsters’ mithril cages.
"What kind of cage is this? Seems like these worm monsters can’t break free. If this is relatively cheap, we should be able to raise them on a large scale, right?"
Lava General thought this way, but his body and mouth didn’t stop, continuing the rituals he’d planned. Even though the miracle had descended, he didn’t plan to stop directly.
The Church of War’s rituals almost continued until the miracle ended. He figured other gods should be the same...
