275. Merlin is as terrifying as ever
Merlin: ".........."
He's a little confused right now.
What the hell is this, priesthood? Faith? The fourth seat of the Pantheon?
You said he just wanted to have a fat house happy online to play, why did he suddenly get involved in these tall things.
But after Merlin suppressed the shock in his heart, he thought about it carefully.
It's true that he thinks too little, from the perspective of his traverser, the magic net is at most an invention that can change the world, and it's just an invention and creation, but it's different in this world, this is a fantasy world with magic and faith, and with the influence of the magic net after it is popularized, the massive faith that comes together can indeed shape a powerful god.
Judging from the occult knowledge left by the original owner, the gods of this world are mainly divided into two kinds, one is to directly become a god by a powerful force, this is called a primordial god, such as the Lord of the Fire, the god of war is this kind of god, and the other is to become a god by the power of faith, this is called the god of faith, such as the god of steam and some gods of art, and the god of technology are all in this category.
In terms of strength, these two gods are equal, and there is no saying between the primordial gods and the gods of faith in the same class who is strong and who is weak, at most it is the difference between being good at fighting or not, just like bodybuilders and martial artists, everyone's physical fitness is almost the same, but the combat effectiveness of bodybuilders is definitely not comparable with martial artists.
But from the point of view of freedom, the primitive gods are much freer, they can be said to be unrestrained, do whatever they want, while belief in gods is not, their power comes from the faith of believers, so they are also bound by their own priesthood and beliefs, and they cannot violate the restrictions of their own priesthood.
However, the growth rate of belief in gods is very fast, as long as there are enough believers and enough faith, they can become very powerful gods in a short period of time, for example, the god of steam almost directly became the third seat of the pantheon, this rocket-like upgrade speed is simply terrifying, and the primordial gods are much more uncomfortable, their great power comes from themselves, and every bit of power has to rely on their own efforts to obtain.
It can be said that the primordial god and the god of belief have their own advantages and disadvantages, and in fact, these two can be transformed into each other, the primordial god can be transformed into a god of faith if he goes to a better priesthood, and the god of belief has worked hard to cultivate for tens of millions of years, and it may not be impossible to get rid of the shackles of faith and become a free primordial god.
Most of the wizards are on the path of primordial gods, and they become gods with their own strength, like Cynthia, who is only one step away from becoming a god, but the last step has not yet been taken, and even after stepping out, the primordial gods still have to slowly cultivate themselves to stand out from the gods, and if they want to cultivate to the level of the main god, the ghost knows how long it will take to cultivate.
On the contrary, if Cynthia relied on the magic net as a priesthood and transferred to the path of believing in gods, then as long as it took a few decades to popularize the magic net, she could easily follow the example of the god of steam back then and reach the main god level in one step.
That is the divine position of the main god, and it is the existence of the pinnacle of the world in the true sense of the word, in addition to the consciousness of the four worlds, and it is no wonder that Cynthia will be shocked to the point of losing control.
Thinking about what Cynthia said just now, he almost couldn't get out of this office door, Merlin could understand.
A low-hanging fruit position of the main god, this is not something comparable to the power and wealth of the human world, think about those fathers and sons who kill each other in order to compete for wealth and power, brothers turn against each other, in order to rob the magic net, Cynthia even if she slapped Merlin to death now, it is not surprising.
Even, Merlin was quite puzzled that this cheap old lady didn't make a move on him, after all, Cynthia is a traditional wizard, and wizards have always been rational and cruel because of the loss of humanity, and they belong to the type that can sacrifice 10 people without hesitation for 100 people.
Sacrificing a younger brother in exchange for a main god position should be a very cost-effective thing in the eyes of wizards, and Cynthia should not hesitate.
Merlin squinted his eyes and looked at Cynthia from afar, with the help of the enhanced vision brought by the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he could easily see the reluctance and struggle in the eyes of this cheap old woman, and finally those turquoise eyes became firm again.
Obviously, the half-elf witch has already made a judgment and a trade-off in her heart.
"Brother, no wonder I wanted you to regain the imperial throne before, but you didn't want to, it turns out that you are planning further, no matter who made you my younger brother, my sister will help you sit in the fourth seat."
Cynthia exhaled, her old smile back on her face, and said to Merlin.
She looked at Merlin with a kind of relief in her eyes, "This child has finally grown up", as if she was quite satisfied with Merlin's crazy ambition.
Well, everything can be explained now, no wonder my brother has always disagreed with her brother's compensation plan before, it turns out that my brother's ambition has long been unwilling to be the emperor of the human world, but wants to become the real controller of this world.
Tut-tut, what does my brother say every day that he wants to be a salted fish waiting to die, he almost deceived her sister, and then think about how many children my brother can kidnap every time he goes out.....
Hiss.... My brother seems to be playing a big game of chess.
Cynthia gasped at the thought of her brother's actions in the past month, and then the smile on her face became even better.
It's really my Cynthia's younger brother.
The half-elf witch thought with pride in her heart, and the thought that her younger brother would show her the formation pattern drawings of the magic net to herself, this trust made her feel even more happy.
Sure enough, the family relationship between sisters and brothers is the best and most trustworthy.
Her distorted view of family affection seemed to be a little more determined.
............
Merlin: "???? ”
What am I trying to do again? Don't I just want a fat house happy network?
Once again, he was full of question marks.
Can you ghost woman not think about me every day with your bad belly, I just want to be a happy fat house.
Seeing that Cynthia's thoughts had a tendency to continue to be dihua, Merlin hurriedly interrupted her.
"Sister, this magic net is yours, I think the title of Cynthia, the goddess of the magic net, sounds very good, for so many years, it was your sister who gave me a gift, and this should be my brother's return gift."
Just kidding, knowing that the magic net is so hot, Merlin didn't bother to continue to hold it in his hand, anyway, his goal is just a fat house happy net, not a god or something.
Besides, the main god god looks beautiful, but where is this so easy to obtain, in the process of popularizing the magic net, I don't know how many people will see through the front of the magic net, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not be tempted and want to snatch something.
Merlin still has a lot of B numbers for himself, he knows that he doesn't have the ability to protect the magic net, and the one who really has the ability to popularize the magic net all over the world has to be a big guy like Cynthia.
The fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, anyway, if you can't keep it, it's better to be cheap for your own sister, as long as Cynthia's thigh is getting thicker and thicker, his future life will not be much worse.
Well, I Merlin just want to live an ordinary life, standing on the cusp or something, let's forget it.
