Blind

"But...... But...... How can there be two? Godhead of the Storm...... The power of faith that your Godhead can assimilate...... It can only be the same faith......" Darko became incoherent, he was completely messed up, and what Wendy was telling was a bit of a subversion of the world system he understood.

Wendy didn't answer Darko's question, but asked rhetorically, "Darko, have you ever learned about the war between the two gods of war a thousand years before the Demon Revolution?"

Darko thought for a moment and said, "I only know that the beasts and humans once had different gods of war, and there was a god war between them, and the fall of the gods of war of the beasts was accompanied by the decline of the beasts. Since then, the orcs have been driven to the wild land north of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and they have never been able to revitalize again. And the victorious Terran god of war, who is now the god of war, Frank Banchen. ”

"That's half right, do you know that after the end of the God War, the orcs who originally believed in the orc god of war, most of the tribes turned to believe in the human god of war. Wendy took the magic crystal handed by Darko to recover, and continued to explain, "On the network of the same faith, there is not only one node, and there will not be only one godhead. If the god of war of the beast race is the god of battle, then the god of war of the human race is the god of battle. One focuses on individual bravery, and the other focuses on overall strategy. After the fall of the beast god of war, its godhead was seized by the human god of war, and the god of war with two godheads is the current god of war, but it is no longer the previous god of war of the human race. He represents both the bravery of the beast faith and the strategy of the human faith. ”

Darko suddenly understood, "So, the previous two gods of war were only part of the belief in war, and the current god of war is the complete god of war?"

"It's not necessarily complete, there are so many nodes on the faith network, and no one knows how many hidden godheads exist. But a god who has determined the priesthood, through the proclamation of divine grace and mortal forces, can play a role in rallying believers. There are even many people who are confused and do not understand their own hearts, so they become blind believers. In fact, the percentage of blind believers in every church is not in the minority, and it was not until two years ago that I realized that the wind I believed in was not the wind that Cillessen spokes. ”

"First there is the Godhead, then there is the Godhead. The Godhead enables the gods to draw trust, and the presence of the gods in turn enhances the source of the trust of the corresponding godhead. That is, your godhead is on the same faith network as the godhead of the storm god Cillesson, so you can draw on His faith. Darko came to a conclusion, so he was no longer so shocked, but he still couldn't suppress his heartbeat, "In this way, won't it be easy for you to become a god in the future?"

"For a god, the most important thing is actually a priesthood, and only having a godhead can only be regarded as a demigod at best, and can draw on the power of faith without being able to rely on the belief network to perform the law. Every power of faith contains the obsession of the corresponding believer, and the gods will also be affected by that obsession when they gain power. Therefore, the soul is the foundation of necessity, otherwise if the power of faith is absorbed too much, the soul will be affected by the obsession in it, resulting in the inability to distinguish the self. Only the gods can preserve the gods' own personality, that is, divinity. ”

Of course, Darko knew that cultivating the Divine Soul was a very difficult step, but it was achieved by Wendy in this cunning way, and even he had to admire Wendy's good luck. He thought for a moment, and then asked, "If you take half of Cillesson's divine soul, isn't he going to lose his divinity?"

Unless He no longer draws on the power of faith, he will be assimilated by the believer's obsession and lose his divinity. When the time comes, he will be the law of the storm, and the law of the storm will be him, and there will be no more Cillesson in this face. ”

"It's amazing. Darko was amazed that Wendy's actions had forced Cillesson to no longer draw on the power of faith, knowing that a god without the power of faith was equivalent to an ordinary saint. That's when he realized what a powerful thing Wendy had done.

"Due to the limitation of my level, I have not reached the corresponding level of strength, and I cannot actively absorb it, so I can only passively accept it. Wendy said this, with a wry smile, "Cillesson descended half of my divine soul on my body, which is a passive acceptance process for my godhead. So it became what it is now, I have no godhead and divine soul, but there is no way to use this to enhance my strength. ”

"If you have a level of power, a saint-level powerhouse will become a god when she obtains a godhead and a priesthood, so the level at which you can use the power of faith is ...... Holy Level!" Darko said to himself, suddenly exclaiming excitedly, "That's amazing!

Looking at Darko's heartfelt joy, Wendy's heart also felt a burst of warmth, "It's still too early to become a god, and when I am promoted to the holy level, I can only be regarded as a demigod at best...... What's more, what's the point of being a god......"

"Hey, now that you have a godhead, you should be able to draw on the power of faith, right? I'm going to be your follower!" Darko didn't care about Wendy's words, still excited to himself, but soon he frowned in embarrassment, "But you and Cillesson are both spokesmen for the wind of the qi element, what if I believe in the wind, but the power of faith runs to Cillesson?"

"Why should I speak for the wind, because although I can draw the power of faith in the wind, I will also lose my personality. If you want to be my believer, believe in me. Wendy had a smile in her eyes.

"Is it okay to believe in you?" said Dacko, who had heard of this argument for the first time. The people who have faith in the plane, without exception, believe in a certain natural realm, but do not believe in a single person. Light believers believe in Radiance because they believe in light, and dark believers believe in Owen because they believe in darkness. Belief in a certain person is not impossible, for example, some tribes of the beast tribe are ancestor worship, and this belief is very vague, usually with a stone statue or a vessel as the landing of the faith.

"Whether it's real or imaginary, in fact the gods are essentially nothing more than a kind of spiritual sustenance, and when you put all the spirits on one thing, the power of faith arises. Wendy explained, "I don't speak for the wind, so I can't draw on the power of the faith of those who believe in the wind, but I am also not bound by the law of the storm, and I will act much more freely." ”

"I see. After all, Darko had spent a long time in the church in his previous life, and he soon understood, "Then how can I trust you?"

"It's easy to do, have you ever learned the canons of the major churches? Wendy replied.

"I see!" Darko snapped his fingers, then closed his eyes and muttered to himself. When Wendy heard Darko's words clearly, her face turned red at the base of her ears, but she didn't interrupt Darko.

"Wendy is omnipotent, Wendy is supreme, Wendy is eternal, Wendy is the only truth in heaven and earth......"

These are not mantras, but when a sentence is repeated and repeated, even if you know that it is false, you can't help but believe it. This is how the congregations in the major dioceses develop blind believers, and it is the means used by all religions in the world when they develop.

When a person successfully hypnotizes himself with countless repeated lies, the belief that is strengthened by this will bring him infinite spiritual strength. When countless people have a common belief, these spiritual forces are gathered together, and it is the power of faith that can do everything.

Usually this kind of falsehood used for self-hypnosis will conflict with the inherent logic of believers to a greater or lesser extent, so it needs to be repeated over the years to have an effect. It takes years for ordinary people to become blind believers, while others take decades.

But Darko is different from ordinary blind believers, he has the unique advantage of being a human being in two lives, and he has a very thorough understanding of the essence of faith. He remained awake in his own consciousness, but his subconscious was independent, constantly hypnotized by the effect of that passage, and entered an unconscious cycle.

Darko thought it was a little funny at first, but under his constant repetition, he gradually felt that Wendy really seemed to be omnipotent. Ten minutes later, he felt some kind of connection in his soul, merging into a large net, and in the center of this large net was Wendy's soul. Darko's spiritual power communicates with Wendy, merging the wisps of faith, and he becomes Wendy's follower.

Darko opened his eyes excitedly and looked at Wendy beside him, the distance between them was very close, but the distance in the soul perception was very far, but he knew that the soul in the center of the network was Wendy's spirit. It's a strange feeling, and it gives you a sense of separation from distance to distance.

"Wendy, am I your first believer?" Darko asked.

"I'm sorry, you're not. Wendy saw that Darko's expression was a little gloomy, and hurriedly explained, "Our Stormwind Church has a lot of shadows in other forces, called dandelions. In order to prevent identity exposure, dandelions are distributed in a decentralized configuration and a single-line connection. I also have seven dandelions, and only I know their identities, and if I die, no one will be able to prove their dandelions. Over time, a relationship of pure subordination was formed, and when I got the Godhead, this subordination naturally evolved into faith. They were my first believers, and they are the only people I can trust now. Wendy gave Darko another deep look and added softly, "Of course, you." ”

Darko didn't notice Wendy's words, he was already shocked by this information, every big force will bury shadows in other forces, such as the Church of Light's Aurora Shadow is an organization specializing in disguise, assassination, espionage and intelligence. But this was the first time he had seen such a management model of the Storm Church, and after a little thought, he roughly understood the pros and cons of this model.

Distributing shadows to multiple church leaders will lead to Wendy's situation, and one person's defection is equivalent to taking his shadows away. But the benefits are also obvious, except for Wendy, no one else knows the identity of the shadows, and it can avoid the shadows of other forces in the high-level, so that all the shadows of their own information are exposed.

Dacko was about to ask a little more about dandelions, when he suddenly heard a roar outside, echoing through the mountains for a long time. I saw that countless grass, trees, and soil outside the cave were impacted and flew into the air, and then smashed down. Through the entrance of the cave, I saw a figure flashing in the sky.

Wendy was taken aback, and hurriedly made a silencing gesture to Darko, whispering, "It's Edward, he's chasing after you!"

"What? How did he find it so quickly?" Darko was also shocked, he and Wendy didn't talk about treating their injuries, and they hadn't even recovered much mana, so the Storm Pope had found it again. Thirty random teleportations, the other party can find it so quickly, if it weren't for the battle with the Storm Pope, Darko would have suspected that the other party is a teleporter who is proficient in space magic.

"Cillessen! the trust in my soul used to belong to Cillessen, he should have sensed it!" Wendy immediately closed her eyes to verify it, and only let out a long sigh after a while, "Sure enough, now I can also feel Cillessen's position, it seems that this induction is mutual, but that position is not precise, it can only be delineated within a hundred kilometers." ”

"Ten kilometers? It's okay, it's okay. "The absolute vacuum of the Storm Pope had left a psychological shadow on Darko, and he didn't want to face that terrible forbidden spell again. The area covered by the forbidden spell was about ten square kilometers, and it would take a hundred to cover an area of a hundred kilometers, which was obviously impossible, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was another loud noise outside, this time far away, but the sound was incessant, like thunder. Darko recognized that it was the voice of the Wind Erosion Technique, and couldn't help but sigh again, "A perverted half-elemental body, putting eighth-level magic is as easy as drinking water." ”

"He can't find us, and he can only mess around like this. Moreover, this is not a lost stone forest, and the speed of his semi-elemental body is much slower. Wendy carefully looked out through the weeds and trees outside the hole, but her expression gradually became solemn, "But with him, we can't get out." He has been guarding here, and after ten days and half a month, we both starved to death!"

Darko blinked, "As for food, I prepared a lot when I escaped from the Mercury plane, and now there is still a little bit in the spatial ring, and it is still enough for two people to hold on for a month." ”

"Well, that's good, so we won't starve, and we can stay here for a long time!" said Wendy, first delighted, and then suddenly remembered that she was going to live with Darko in this cave, and spend many nights, and her face turned red again.

Listening to Wendy's words, Darko also thought of that at the same time, so he opened his mouth in embarrassment, but still didn't say anything.
