Chapter 614: Thinking Too Much (Sincere Thanks to Silver Alliance Leader Aiai)
Alan was also a little enthusiastic when he heard this, but he also asked something that he had been struggling with for a long time: "Does this have anything to do with their demise? You just used the prohibition of the gods and gods...... I've always wondered why the gods of ancient mythology have hardly heard of any miracles. I mean, if you have a way to become a god, why do the gods that existed seem to have disappeared as well...... And the Grim Reaper, who is he?"
This was a great achievement that made the Netherels, especially those who had reached a certain level of strength and were called Grand Arcanists, begin to become very arrogant, especially when it came to the gods who were still real in the world at the time, believing that the gods were nothing more than "ultimate magic" that they did not yet know. This and other reasons have led to a general reluctance among the Netherel to believe in any one of the gods, and they are even reluctant to be healed by divine powers when they are injured, believing that it will hinder their magical path. ”
Ravenclaw didn't answer Allen's question directly, she continued to explain: "The collapse of the floating city of Thrist is the beginning of Netherreel's weakening to the point of destruction, and the owner of this floating city, Thrist, blew up his floating city in an attempt to use the extreme meteor burst spell, and no one survived. Then bad luck struck, and a genius wizard who cast his first non-magical riot but full spell at the age of two was born, and the young man named Karsus found that he mastered magic effortlessly, almost instantly, as if he had always known them, and like other Netherreans, he refused to give his faith to any god, believing that he would one day become a god too— And he did, and after years of research after becoming the youngest Grand Arcanist, he created and cast an unprecedented super-legendary spell, the incarnation of Karsus, before Netherel perished. ”
"One spell destroys an empire?Aren't these floating cities each floating in the sky?The area of his spell is as large as the whole world?" Eren looked a little incredulous, which was far beyond his ability to comprehend magic.
"I've deduced the truth from the few records he had before he cast it, as well as the accounts of other civilizations—this legendary spell was designed to rob a god of his power, and that Karsus shouldn't have chosen the cleric he wanted to steal from magic.
He succeeded, but it also caused the chaos and loss of control of the magic power of the whole world, just like a small stone caused a huge avalanche, the whole earth became a crazy magic area, the power of magic was surging, disorderly ups and downs, the whole world was facing a catastrophe, the monstrous flood raged on the ground, and those floating cities in the sky fell one after another, and those floating cities that used the protective cover to explore the deep sea and the universe were also swallowed by the sea in an instant. Crushed by the vacuum, and those city lords died a natural death before this, their constant Iolem longevity failed, and after the extra extended lifespan disappeared, aging returned to them, making them age hundreds of years in an instant.
And the so-called people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky, those magic items with various abilities, quasi-magic items, all kinds of magic traps, alchemy products are also triggered in various chaotic ways because of the frenzied magic fluctuations, and after the chaotic spell is triggered, many ordinary wizards and civilians who have become accustomed to these products have died.
Some gods with prophetic powers left this world early, and the true gods of various other vast god systems fell forever in this event, and some good gods, knowing that they would not be spared, tried to sacrifice themselves in an effort to restore peace to the world.
Only three floating cities that happened to stay on the ground escaped, but after losing their highest combat power and losing the quasi-magical items that required the Mithriel core to function properly, countless enemies that Nethrel had set up because of their arrogance and brazenness saw this as an opportunity for revenge, and the remaining Nethriels perished one after another after a period of survival. ”
Ravenclaw suddenly turned his head to look at Alan with some playfulness: "And the current Grim Reaper is not the ancient one, it is just a mortal wizard who is proficient in necromancy, and after studying a few Nether scrolls and mastering the trick of sealing gods, he chose death, a priesthood that does not cause much vibration in the mortal world, and became the new Grim Reaper, just like what I want to do now." You've probably heard the name of the god of death when he was in the mortal world - Hellbo the Despicable, an ancient Greek dark wizard who was one of the first known dark wizards, and whose research still influences the dark arts to this day. He is believed to be the first wizard to breed a basilisk, and became famous for it, in addition, he invented many evil curses and became the first wizard to successfully make Horcruxes. ”
"Despicable Helmpo is the Grim Reaper......" Alan was startled by this information, and then realized that something was wrong, "but when I came into contact with Death before, I didn't seem to feel how evil the other party was...... I mean, he seems to be fulfilling his duty to guide the dead to sleep......"
"That's right, because he's no longer the vile Helbo, a Greek wizard who was as impatient as Karsus when he became a god, and he didn't have the ability to instantly wield this vast power but was assimilated and controlled by the priesthood of the god of death - but his own greed still influenced his behavior, allowing him to devour the souls of the dead to strengthen himself, which is why we need to resist death - I don't want my fate to be decided by a new god who was also an ordinary wizard before. Ravenclaw said to Alan in a somewhat arrogant tone, "By the way, Salazar's monkey face also got a male egg to breed a basilisk in his secret room during the carnival organized by Hufflepuff that you participated in, and this arrogant old guy thought that no one else knew, and he didn't want to think that the whole of Hogwarts was most of the design I did, would I leave the surveillance system behind......"
"Dealing with a mortal wizard-turned-god sounds like a lot easier than dealing with those old gods. Alan shrugged and looked at the Nether scroll in his hand, "Is there anything specific to learn about it?"
"Even though you have more mental resistance than the average mortal and can last longer, don't read on your own without me. A wizard who goes crazy because he reads too many Nether scrolls, if his crazy brain can still control his actions, he can usually be healed by magic, but at the cost of the wizard's magical ability is severely impaired, and may even become a squib, and may also cause some unforeseen consequences, once there was a red-robed wizard named Edwin, who had to change his name to Edwina because of an accident in reading the Nether scrolls......
After Ravenclaw finished speaking, his expression became more serious and added: "There is a way to avoid reading too much and going crazy - the direct assistance of the existence of divine power, and I have now made a deal with the great devil named Bayer, and I have obtained the blood of a true god in hell to study the secret of divine power, although I have not officially started to collect beliefs myself, but I am a false god anyway." ”
Alan wasn't a reckless Gryffindor, "Then you ventured to read them yourself......?"
"It's just that Bayer lost a bet with me. Ravenclaw interrupted Alan by shaking his head, "Alan, you are not the same path as I am going to take, you can't be a god. The Netherrean people are actually correct in some convenient concepts, that divine power and magic are mutually exclusive, and I have now chosen to become a god, so I can't go to the end on the path of magic, and even if I learn the principles of magic, the deepest knowledge of magic, but because divine power will prevent me from turning this knowledge into my own power - and you, you need to go to the end on this path. ”
Hearing this, Allen's eyes instantly turned a little red, although he didn't think there was anything wrong with the path of becoming a god, but as a research witch who was so passionate about studying magic, she gave up this path - obviously combined with the conversation just now, it made him think that Ravenclaw obviously chose to become a false god because he could fully master this knowledge.
"You think too much, greedy marauders are not as great and selfless as you think. But don't get too happy and think that you can read the Nether scrolls with any god. First of all, the god must be very proficient in magic and care for mortals - such a combination would not have happened in the days of Netheril, and their relationship with the gods was so strained that none of Netharel's archarcanists could read through the entire fifty chapters. The witch tilted her head and winked a little mischievously at Alan, "And I just tick all the boxes, I'm very proficient in magic, and I care more about you as a mortal - I help you master the mysteries of magic, and you'll be willing to be my chosen one to help me accomplish my purpose, won't you?" ”
