Chapter 156: Demigod!
The sign of promotion to demigod is to weave the realm with the law.
I saw a large number of black tadpoles emerging from the sky around Peggy, which is a concrete law of death. They are overwhelming, densely packed, intertwined with each other, and gradually dissolve into an inky ocean.
In the terminology of cultivating immortals, first it is "the avenue becomes an abyss", and then it is "the way with the body".
Immediately afterward, the girls saw Peggy's body dim, as if her whole body was sinking into nothingness, and finally suddenly collapsed into a large group of tadpoles, merging into the boundless sea of ink.
Eventually, Mohai gradually shrunk and reverted to Peggy's form.
The moment she advanced to Lv.20, the invisible demon tide oscillated in all directions, and soon spread to the entire planet's magnetic field.
The demigods in the main plane of reality, the three otherworldly planes, the subconscious ocean, the shadow realm, the spirit realm, the astral plane, and various half-planes and plane fragments all felt the vibrations of the laws of the universe.
A mysterious and inexplicable feeling came to mind, whether it was a human or an alien, a demigod on Helel or another planet, suddenly "seeing" a certain symbol.
Death, Death, and the individual words that are understood and used within the other races are clustered together like a jumble of words, and then transformed into a line of symbols.
Silence and nothingness.
The title of this new demigod.
The so-called silence means that there is no energy; The so-called nothingness is the absence of quality. Thinking about the meaning of the previous symbols, everyone roughly guessed the law she majored in.
In the sky of Hearthfire Island, Peggy, who fell to the ground, opened her eyes and looked blankly at the girls around her.
"How does it feel?" Nora asked with concern.
"It feels ......" Peggy somehow subconsciously wanted to say "I am death", which is her unique realization after being promoted to the demigod rank.
But this must frighten everyone, so Peggy just sat up from the ground, calmed her mind for a moment, and then said:
"I'm already a demigod."
Then the girls cheered for joy. Although everyone is a little uncomfortable being left behind for the fact that Peggy is ahead of the progress by herself, but at this moment...... After all, the Azure Sword team officially has a demigod, doesn't it?
No, soon there will be two.
On the other hand, after learning that Peggy had been successfully promoted to demigod, Aske also began to weave his own realm.
Countless concrete laws of war, such as swords, spears, axes, clubs, daggers, guns and explosives, emerged from the ground at his feet, and then slowly turned into a sharp white light.
Once the realm is weaved, the next step is ...... Body conceptualization.
The fusion of the laws of war began with the tips of his fingers, gradually passed over each finger, palm, wrist, arm, then shoulder, and finally covered his head upwards and rolled down into his legs and feet, turning Asker's entire body into a razor, fiery white light.
The laws of the universe shook again, and the demigods, who were still immersed in the previous perception of the law of death, were suddenly shocked to find that another person had been promoted to demigods.
In fact, under the huge base of galaxies in the universe, people are promoted to demigods every minute and every second, but not all demigods can cause violent shocks in the laws of the universe - it must be some kind of fundamental and powerful law.
The symbols and visions that emerged this time were slightly inferior in intensity to the previous "death", but the scale was even greater. Attack, defend, align, betray, persuade, deceive...... The text is so dense that it is almost impossible to read and is superimposed, eventually forming a larger symbol.
War, War...... It was still in a language that each of them could understand, and it was displayed in front of the eyes of all the demigods.
On the purgatory plane, a bewitching and slender figure in a robe is calmly strolling along the edge of a lava-flowing river.
Suddenly, she raised her head consciously, sensing the titles of the two newly promoted demigods.
Silent nothingness, and ......
The source of unrest.
The young man's face came to mind, a slight smile beneath the shadow of her hood.
"It's really apt, the root of the unrest...... Kamilica, you need to hurry. ”
“…… Otherwise, there will be no more opportunities. ”
In the Isle of Fire, Asker, who has become a demigod, recondenses himself from his own realm.
The girls looked at him nervously.
"What do you want me to do?" Aske said strangely, "It's over." Go and go, give me accelerated cultivation. ”
He put on the majesty of the regiment commander to speak, and everyone could only disperse a little unwillingly, leaving Peggy alone in the same place.
"Asker." Peggy rubbed her temples a little uncomfortably, "I'm here...... It seems that there is something more, and it is very uncomfortable. ”
"That's the erosion of the law." Asker sighed.
Crossing the threshold of a demigod means that the body has been fused with the law, and the transcendent himself can conceptualize the body at any time, thus making it immune to most damage from below the demigod level.
From Lv.20 to Lv.30, it is a gradual fusion of spirits and laws, and this fusion phenomenon is spontaneous, even if you sleep all day and do nothing, the experience points will go up in a hurry, so it is more appropriate to call it "erosion".
The higher the rank, the deeper the erosion, and the easier it is for the transcendent to perceive illusions and babbles—outward signs that the "human" intellect is being harmed.
From Lv.30 to Lv.40, it is the stage where the mind and body are eroded by the law. At this time, illusions and whispers will transform into tangible monsters, forcing the transcendents to fight them constantly, otherwise the erosion will be intensified.
Therefore, Lv.20 is called the "pinnacle of the golden experience" by players, because this level has the strongest combat power and the least negative effects; As the level continues to climb up, the corresponding increase in combat power will gradually become unable to withstand the increase in illusions and whispers, and the difficulty of the game will increase relatively and become more challenging.
As for the level cap, even in the original game world, no one has managed to break through Lv.40, and the illusion monsters of that level are already extremely strong, and if the player stays in the main plane, they will soon be beaten half to death, their sanity will be damaged, and then they will have to spend money to renew their sanity...... Therefore, everyone can only hide in the three planes.
Purgatory, the underworld, and the abyss, the three planes have a fundamental will, which can prevent the erosion of various cosmic laws on the plane, so the illusion monsters here are relatively easy to deal with, and of course, the speed of automatic upgrades will be slower. Basically, if the player reaches Lv.30, they are ready to go to the three planes.
After listening to Asker's explanation, Peggy was also a little silent. After a moment, she asked slowly:
"Actually, even if you hide in the three planes, the speed of the upgrade will not drop to 0, right? In other words, being corrupted by the law and dying is a fate that we cannot escape? ”
"That's right." Aske nodded, "But even if you don't become a demigod, you'll die one day." ”
"The lifespan of being a demigod is much longer than the lifespan of not being a demigod. Just from Lv.20 to Lv.30, if you try not to use the Law Skill as much as possible, the natural growth time is about a few thousand years. If you don't become a demigod, your natural lifespan is too short. ”
"Of course, every time you use the Law Skill, the erosion progress will move forward a little. In the life of mercenaries like us, we will encounter battles every three or five times, and the time will probably be shortened to about a thousand years. ”
"Then let's go into seclusion!" Peggy immediately blurted out and looked at Aske wistfully, "Go to a place far away from the war where no one knows who we are!" ”
"There's no need for that." Asker smiled and rubbed her hair, which suddenly made her a little sad.
