Chapter 268: The Secret of the Gods
"Do you think that this kind of trick can shake my faith in God? Then you couldn't be more wrong. Although Howard was shocked that the "god-given power" in his body was disappearing quickly, he could not do anything about it, and he could only refute the corpse witch with words, trying to let his subordinates find a flaw in it.
It's just that now several of Howard's subordinates have been entangled by ten bone witches, and the players who followed were also entangled by the zombie army.
There was no one left to help Howard now, and from the very beginning, the Corpse Witch had already calculated the number of people to suppress Howard's men. As for the players, they were ant-like creatures, and they basically didn't let him take it seriously.
"Howard, do you really think that the gods above exist for the sake of so-called fairness and justice? So, tell me what the gods want the followers to do, and the gods just need the power of your faith to get stronger power. In that case, why can't such things as killing between gods and usurping power exist? Although the corpse witch had been distracted from talking, the black qi in his hand was still condensed at a high speed, and then shot out from his palm, hitting Howard's "God-given power".
The words of the corpse witch were nothing new to these high-ranking members of the Holy See. As people who are closer to the gods, these people know more about the affairs of the gods than those at the grassroots level. As the Corpse Witch said, the gods only focus on the power of faith that comes from below. As for whether the process is accompanied by intrigue and blood, the gods will not care.
Just ask, these gods, who don't care about the life and death of those below, and only ask for giving and taking, will be the embodiment of fairness and justice? This is really just a lie used by the Holy See to confuse the ignorant masses, but the upper echelons of the Holy See need to use the banner of gods to get what they want, and this is completely a matter of your will.
Since the disappearance of the previous God of Light, this God of Light has not appeared in the eyes of the world, but as high-ranking personnel in the Holy See, they have always known that this God of Light has already taken office. It's just that for some reason, his strength will drop significantly, and now he is trying to regain his strength.
"Don't you respond to my words? In that case, you all believe me. Seeing that Huo Hua and the others did not reply, the corpse witch did not hear what the corpse witch had just said, but instead fought the opponent in front of him more seriously.
"Haha, you have a weak heart, okay, I'll tell you one more result now, that is, the source of your Holy Light's power?" Seeing that the crowd was unmoved, the corpse witch threw another bombshell.
Although the battle situation is dominated by the corpse witch, this is only a temporary process, and now the black gas in the land of the lich has been called by him, and once the black gas is used up, then the strength of the bone witch will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the zombies below will also lose the ability to resurrect.
So time has never been on the side of the corpse witch, and what he has to do is to deal with Howard's men as quickly as possible, so as not to be ruined by their own plans.
"Source? Haha, even a child knows that our light comes from our gods, and you, who have fallen into darkness, will never know the greatness of the gods...... This is impossible, how can you have the power of holy light, this is impossible......" Huo Hua looked at the small ball of holy light on the finger of the corpse witch, and his heart collapsed directly, this is basically unreasonable, the holy light actually appeared on the finger of the undead creature, what kind of reason is this.
"Because this world itself has a source of power of light and darkness, I call this power the power of the wandering gods, or the origin of the world. And when someone gathers these free divine powers into one body and reaches a certain level, then people can become gods in the flesh. Have you ever heard of a divine mage, a divine swordsman? They are the ones who have already gathered the power of the free gods, and as long as they take one more step, they can become the existence of gods. The corpse witch snuffed out the light that was burning his fingers, and spoke in a flat but unwavering tone about the secret that belonged to the gods.
"This is impossible, how can humans become gods, this is not ......"
"By the way, the free divine power I have defined can evolve into other energies in addition to light and darkness." I saw that the corpse witch stretched out a hand, aimed at one of the priests, and a furious lightning python crossed the distance of dozens of meters, and hit the priest who did not react in an instant.
"Ah......h
However, for the player, this NPC did not explode the equipment and items on his body, and that naturally did not die.
For a high-level NPC like this, it already has the identity of an elite or a boss, and even if it is killed by an NPC, something will burst out of its body or two.
"Now, you should know why when the gods give you power, they call it not divine power, but God-given power. Because your gods can't completely control the free divine power of this world, let alone prevent others from learning the magic of the Holy Light. Ironically, this is the secret of the gods, and it is also the result of my years of research, haha! In the midst of the laughter, the corpse witch had already blasted down the other priest with another lightning python.
And now those ten bone witches are pressing the other two priests to fight, although there is a lot of difference in rank, but as long as the number of people is enough, it can still narrow the distance.
"You've mastered divine powers, but why is this happening?" Howard looked at the Divine Crystal Ball in the magic shield, where the light was still strong.
"Yes, but the divine power I used just now is not from this place, but from my own divine power. In fact, everyone will have more or less divine power, but you, the people of the Holy See, have been absorbed by your God of Light in the form of the power of faith, so you should go to your god and ask him clearly. The corpse witch looked at Howard in front of him, whose god-given power had been exhausted and the strength in his body had been drained, and he couldn't help but have a sad smile on his face.
"Haha, it tastes good to lose power, right?" The Witch walked over slowly, every step in Howard's heart.
If such a psychological attack of the corpse witch is seen by Shuinai and the thief, he will definitely scold him for wasting time, as a long-range mage, you don't use long-range magic to solve your enemy, but you come so close, don't you want him to bite you back?
It's just that the current Shui Nai and the thief have just come out of the stone gate, but as soon as they came out, they saw a few old acquaintances.
"Hey, your name is Yanlong! I didn't have a chance to say hello to you last time, and you're dead, I'm so sorry! As soon as the thief came out, he saw a few people confronting the Skeleton Emperor, and immediately recognized one of the people who had been killed by him.
“…… Hmph, I didn't expect that if you really cooperated with the Corpse Witch, wouldn't you be afraid of being hunted down by the Holy See? Although Yan Long was very angry by this sentence, after thinking about it, he immediately planned to enter the framing plan to the end.
"Cooperation? If you can find a decent artifact inside, then you can go to the Holy See or something to tell you that we collaborated with the Witch and ransacked his lair. We don't have a so-called, anyway, we have made a lot of money, and it's a big deal to give the state some loot as a tax. "If the player could tell the NPC, there would be no bad guys in this world for a long time.
If the player wants to tell the truth, that's okay, but the NPC is willing to believe you. But getting an NPC to trust an outsider is not an easy task in itself. Even if he has a good character like Mizuna, he doesn't dare to say that he can make Farr and the old mage.
In fact, even if it was Yanlong, I don't know if they really cooperated with the Corpse Witch. Because at the beginning, after these few people broke out of the zombie army, they immediately found the Skeleton Emperor who had been cut in two. The upper body of one of them was even beaten into the mountain.
It's just that they didn't expect that the vitality of this Skeleton Emperor was so amazingly high, and under this kind of injury, he could still combine his body in front of his own people, and then he stayed in front of the stone gate.
Although they all know that there are many people on their side, they can completely crush it, but there is no person who wants to come forward to send him to death, and the people behind him are cheap. After all, it's dead now, but it's going to be zombies, so they're deadlocked.
However, at this time, the stone door behind him opened, and two people came out.
"Wow, old bones, you've been repaired miserably!" The thief also looked at the "wound" on the Skeleton Emperor's body and immediately exaggerated, but because the Skeleton Emperor has a latent mask, even if he is a thief, he can't detect the current state of the Skeleton Emperor.
"Hmph, don't pretend anymore, as long as you are willing to hand over some of the wealth of the corpse witch, we can not pursue you and the corpse witch. Otherwise, huh. Yan Long saw that they really didn't care, so he planned to intimidate and threaten them, after all, there were many people on his side, and if they fought, their side would suffer a lot.
Yan Long's tone was full of threat, but someone had to be willing to accept it.
"Hmph, don't hum, like a pig, come over if you have the ability, if you can move us with this kind of words, then the world will already belong to your Dark Dragon Guild." The thief didn't bother to be verbose anymore, so he took out the dagger directly and rushed to the front.
And Mizuna and the Skeleton Emperor were like this, only to see that in the next moment, magic and sword light immediately appeared here.
"You bastards who have descended from the gods, though you have turned your backs on your allies, ah......"
"You guys, be careful we won't let ......"
"Yan Long, concentrate on it, your profession can restrain me......" Seeing that Yan Long was actually distracted, the dagger in his hand deliberately slashed twice in his face.
……
"Don't get me wrong, we are not on the same side as them." When a person from the Celestial Guild saw the Skeleton Emperor facing the burning Flame Snake Sword at his side, he immediately explained his position.
"Oh, then you'd better not mess around, weapons don't have eyes." Seeing them like this, the thief was not interested in them anymore, and after putting away the equipment that Yanlong's people had exploded, he immediately rushed to the side of the corpse witch with Shuinai.
It's just that for this kind of big guild, thieves have always been distrustful, after all, there are too many people, so anyone will appear.
"Damn, these two people are too cruel, Yanlong's gang was solved by three or two hits." The few people who descended from the heavenly gods watched in a daze as the corpses turned into white light and disappeared, not even noticing that there was no corpse transformation.
