Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 19: The Battle Between the Strong (2)

The power of the gods comes from three aspects: divine power, priesthood, and godhead.

Needless to say, it is a resource that needs to be consumed by the gods to use any kind of ability, just like the gasoline that burns in the process of driving, without the divine power, the car of the gods can only break down on the side of the road.

For example, the gods with the priesthood can freely use the power of light, so as to change the direction and intensity of the light, etc., while for the shadow power, because they do not have the corresponding priesthood, they will naturally not be able to control and use it.

The godhead is more abstract, strictly speaking, the godhead belongs to the original existence of the gods, ignite the divine fire, condense the godhead, the gods can be called gods, otherwise they can only be regarded as a demigod or pseudo-god, and even in the eyes of some legendary-level powerhouses, as long as a complete godhead is not condensed, it cannot be called a god. To put it simply, you can think of the godhead as the driver's license of the car driver, with this driver's license, you can be qualified to drive the car called the god, otherwise it is a driving without a license.

With that in mind, look at Haka's clone in reverse, and you'll understand how bad his situation is now.

As a doppelganger deliberately differentiated by a god in order to absorb power and faith, it is naturally impossible for him to have a godhead, otherwise this doppelganger can be called a complete god himself. And without a driver's license, let alone driving, even pushing the car to the gas station to refuel may be reported by the cashier, and then arrested by the police uncle and locked up in a small black house.

As for the priesthood, it is even more fantastical, and no god will give the priesthood to a doppelganger to use. Originally, this kind of thing is a prop created by the gods for a certain purpose, think about it, let a prop drive for you, would you be willing?

Therefore, the sole purpose of the existence of the haka clone is to absorb the power of the sacrifice of the believers for the body, transform it into what the body needs, and then bring these powers back to the body for use. Under normal circumstances, the gods will convert the collected power into divine power through the priesthood they have mastered, and then store it for their own use.

Therefore, the abilities possessed by the Haka clone are basically in the service of this purpose, he can use one unit of divine power to condense the collected power, and these condensed powers can even be transformed into ten units of divine power after being handed over to the main body. In this way, the gods continue to increase their divine power day after day, year after year, and when the divine power reserve breaks through a certain limit, they will find ways to seek more divine positions or use it to further condense their divine personality.

Therefore, in terms of combat, the Haka clone has neither the means nor the energy enough to deal with the crazy attack of the Devourer Fenrus, and it has been able to hold on until now because the blood god Haka itself belongs to a combat-type god, and as a clone, he has almost completely inherited the fighting skills and instincts of the body.

But with these skills and instincts, and without enough divine power, Haka's clone is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, so she can only be unwilling to lose and become what she is now.

After a few attempts and finding that the Haka clone was indeed powerless to resist, Fenruth the Devourer was finally relieved and boldly prepared to devour this delicious food. I saw him slam himself open like a film, directly towards the Haka clone. As a shadow creature, Fenruth does not have a fixed form, and it doesn't matter what he looks like if it's good for him to devour his prey.

And as the curtain of shadow that Fenruth the Devourer had transformed fell from the sky and was about to envelop the entire Hakka clone, the other two participants in this battle of the mighty were also engaged in a life-and-death game.

At this time, the Haka clone actually did not completely lose the power to resist, and there was still the last trace of divine power in his body, which was the last reliance on his attempt to turn defeat into victory. He believed that the enemy who had severed his connection with his body would never watch him become the spoils of Fenruth the Devourer, and that as long as he showed that he had no power to resist, the guy who had already regarded him as something in his pocket would definitely jump out at the last minute and defeat Finus and reap the benefits. And when the time comes, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the other party to fight with Fenrus, and use the last vestiges of divine power he retains to escape. As long as you wait for the ontology to reopen the connection with yourself, you have the means to deal with these despicable creatures with new divine support.

As for the guy who secretly made the move, he naturally had been eyeing this god clone for a long time, and the coveted lich Kel'thugad. As an old immortal who doesn't know how many years he has lived, Kel'thugad has enough patience to make sure that it doesn't get out of his plans.

In the end, at the moment when the Shadow Curtain was about to cover the last scale of Haka's clone, this psychological game was also divided into winners and losers!

Compared to Kel'thugad, who had clearly made other preparations, the already desperate Haka clone became the loser of this game. He didn't dare to gamble his life with his own life to survive after being devoured by Finrus. So when he got the Shadow Curtain and was about to completely envelop him, he finally couldn't help but urge the last trace of divine power in his body.

The long-vanished flame of divine power reappeared, and although the flame seemed to be crumbling, as if it would be extinguished at any moment, it was still made of divine power, and in terms of power level, it was still capable of crushing the shadow power possessed by Finus the Devourer. Faced with the Shadow Veil, which evenly dispersed its power in order to devour, the divine flame that was condensed as much as possible by the Haka's clone was like a sharp knife, easily piercing the shadow film that Finus the Devourer had transformed.

Fenruth, who didn't expect this to happen, also suffered a lot of damage because of this, although he is a shadow creature without a fixed body, but this does not mean that he has no vital points, but in the previous battles, he was very clever to protect his vital points well, and those shadow powers that were torn apart in the battle were just equivalent to the substitute ghosts he abandoned for victory.

But now it's different, in order to devour this prey as much as possible, Fenrus at this time can be said to have completely exposed all his core powers, and the fatal blow of Haka's clone before death is like when you are opening your arms and preparing to give the other party a warm hug, the other party takes out a knife and stabs you in the chest.

Even if the knife wasn't truly lethal, it was enough to make Fenrus the Devourer feel painful, and the curtain of shadows that was about to close shattered.

At the same time, Kel'thugad, who had been waiting for him for a long time, also made a brazen move. Gray mist rose from his pair of dry bony palms, quickly enveloping the entire space where the altar was located. A full twelve chains forged from some unknown metal with a cold enough to freeze the soul crawled up to the body of Haka's doppelganger like pythons, and bound him firmly, and the dark blue frost covered the body of the shadow dragon at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that this long-planned lich not only wants to obtain a doppelganger of a god, but even wants to imprison Fenrus the Devourer.

An angry roar came from the gray mist, and Fenruth, who finally realized that he had been overshadowed, quickly concentrated all his shadow power, as if he wanted to die with Kel'thugad.

Of course, Kel'thugad is unwilling to do this, as a shadow creature, even if he dies in the main plane, he can easily be reborn in the shadow plane, at most, his strength will suffer some losses and cause him to lose rank. But he didn't have the ability, and once he was killed, he would have to use the life box to resurrect him, and the loss of time and strength would be much higher than the cost to Finrus. For Kel'thugad, this loss-making trade was not even considered.

So he finally chose to withdraw some of the gray mist and form a protective barrier in front of him.

However, to Kel'thugad's surprise, the anger and madness displayed by Fenrus the Devourer turned out to be a disguise. Just as Kel'thugad withdrew some of his strength, the cunning shadow creature also seized the opportunity to condense its core power into a shadow orb, breaking through the defenseless gray mist and shooting into the body of the wolf king Nandus, who had been hiding in the corner in order to regain his strength.

And after the wolf king Nandus incorporated the shadow sphere into his body, he immediately left here without looking back, and even did not hesitate to open a spatial rift for this, and directly left the main plane and fled back to the shadow plane.

"Hmph, that's good luck! It seems that these two guys have been ready for this for a long time! ”

Les Frost, who was a step late, could only watch the wolf king Nandus disappear on the other side of the spatial rift, he originally thought that he could easily kill this shadow werewolf king, and then get the power core of Fenrus the Devourer, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, he didn't even try to escape, and directly chose to return to the shadow plane.

And the reason why Rice thinks they have done it a long time ago is precisely because the other party is so decisive. Due to the previous battle between the Haka clones and Finruth, the position of the battlefield was constantly moving in the direction of the Silver Pine Forest, and now their location had long since left the Hillsbrad Hills and entered the boundary of the Silver Pine Forest. Compared to the Hillsbrad Hills, the Silver Pine Forest has been eroded by the power of the Shadow for a long time, making it easier to open spatial rifts leading to the shadow plane. Don't forget, the biggest rift leading there is right in the Shadowfang Castle.

"That was our extra goal! Being able to capture this god clone so easily, I think you should be satisfied! If you are too greedy, you will be like Haka, a fool, not only does not absorb the slightest bit of power, but loses half of your own family! "Now that Fenrus the Devourer has fled, Kel'thugad naturally doesn't need to continue to maintain that gray mist, which is not easy to maintain with the high concentration of death power.

Les nodded, looking at the Haka clone who was firmly bound by twelve chains, with both satisfaction and regret on his face, "You're right! Compared to the price we were prepared to pay, it was like a dream to be able to achieve it so easily! I have to say, that little guy is indeed a talent! ”

Kel'thugad agreed, "I'm afraid he has already seen that our purpose is Haka, the god of blood, otherwise, I don't believe that he would go to the Silver Pine Forest to deal with Arugao at such a time." ”

If the Shadow Werewolves, led by Fenruth the Devourer, did not have the idea of fighting the Haka clone, but twisted their power into a ball and placed it on the Shadow Fang Castle, how could Yu Bin's little ability take a great risk to go deep into the Silver Pine Forest to deal with Arugao. Kel'thugad and Les are not fools, and with a simple reasoning, they can figure it all out.

It was precisely because Yu Bin was able to make sure that Finus the Devourer and Nandus, the Wolf King, would not appear in Shadowfang Castle, that he would think of snatching food from the hands of those expeditionary forces and looking for an opportunity to turn Arugao into his own trophies. And Yu Bin, who can judge all this, naturally means that he has seen through Kel'thugad's true purpose.

"I feel more and more now that your teacher really found the most suitable container for his master!" Kel'thugad sighed, "Alright, I'll bring back this most important trophy next, and the blood god Hakka will never give up on this, so from now on, I must put all my strength into this matter, and the rest of the plan depends on you!" ”

"Don't worry! As long as Gardin doesn't drag his feet, everything will be fine! ”

"He won't!" Kel'thugad's tone was calm, as if he were telling a clear fact, "Although I will not be able to pull out for a long time, I am still curious, what are you going to do next?" ”

In Rice's eyes, the soul fire beat slowly: "Those orc friends of ours obviously don't want to be a supporting role like this, how can the good show that is about to be staged in the Silver Pine Forest be without me as an audience!" ”

"Whatever you want! That little guy isn't as simple as you think! "Maybe this will be his first performance on stage!" ”

"Then I can't miss it!" Rice's upper and lower jaws opened and closed silently, and he said in a smiling tone, "At such an important moment, how can there not be a sufficient audience to applaud him from the audience!" ”
