Chapter 10 Awesome, word Ciric!

"It's so loud, what's the fuss?"

Zhao Kun raised his face and seemed to be looking at the ceiling, but in fact, his gaze had penetrated the barrier and took in everything around him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This area is obviously not the dominant area of the Ciric Order, right?"

The temple of Shirek is a source of evil and corruption, and their various appearances reflect the chaotic nature of the deity. Many are hidden in caves or in ready-made buildings (including abandoned houses, collapsed sewers, and abandoned dungeons), with heart-pounding howls echoing from time to time. Most of these places were once temples of Bane, Baal, and Mirkor, so if they were not the Dark Fortress of the Dark Lord (Bane), the Hidden Temple of the King of Murder (Baal), or the Tomb Hall of the King of Bones (Mirkor). The common feature of these temples was a blood-stained altar and hall, which allowed the local high priests to give all sorts of fanatical speeches (or lies) to the worshippers gathered here from time to time.

However, the area where Zhao Kun is located is not the traditional area of influence of the three gods and Shirek, whether it is a temple or a priest and believer, this is a relatively weak area.

The two most powerful sects under Ciric are now located in the Amm region. Awaken the Skeleton Tinos Agrim is a high-ranking priest in the Skull Mountains region of the Cloud Mountains, who founded a cult of fanatical assassins known as the Flame of the Dark, and annexed the once rival cult of the Dark Bastion, a temple in the Tega Hills. He allied himself with the Am's army against the Siritic Empire. The other is the High Priest of the Black Will Halken Akmilir - the Twin Towers of the Eternal Eclipse, who is working with an army of monsters from Mullan City led by two ogre wizards and is currently suppressing nearby commerce. A third group is also emerging, currently fighting with the church in Bane for control of the western coast of Santarim Castle. The exact identity of the group's leader is still unknown, but it is rumored to be a charismatic priest Dag Zorries, while others claim that a general named Pergost is leading the followers of the Dark Sun.

In any case, in the case of a sect that everyone shouts and fights, playing like this in an area where one's own power is weak, either the leader's brain is broken, or the boss simply wants to give up this area.

As the words grew louder and louder, the whole world seemed to feel something. The clouds in the sky hummed and screamed under the shock of Ciric's divine power. Zhao Kun could even see Priest Shirek within dozens of miles around him with a spell.

- When disguised for covert operations in the crowd is not required, Reverend Shirek wears black or dark purple robes trimmed with silver trim, and sometimes a turban. They wore silver bracers or bracelets (often with Ciric's emblem embedded on them) to signify the church's fear of Ciric. Some priests will paint the emblem of the deity on their foreheads or cheeks on important holy days. In short, as long as you see this guy, you can easily identify them.

The Faceless One doesn't know what Hirek is pumping, but whatever the enemy is up to, just don't let him do it.

Zhao Kun simply played a fixed-point strike. After all, when praying on the altar, you must not move around. As for the distance, for the Faceless who often shuttles between planes, there is no such attack range, so simply don't mix it up.

Colorful pillars of fine light streaked across Zhao Kun's head. Each ray of light kills a Syric's priest.

However, to Zhao Kun's surprise, in the face of his priest's targeted expulsion, Ciric actually insisted on his ritual without any other action - maybe there were, but at least the Faceless One didn't notice it.

At this time, another voice sounded in the air, not Ciric.

"The Faceless? The Faceless One Must Die! ”

As soon as the sound dissipated, a huge black fist that was so huge that it shone with green light fell directly from the sky and smashed down with a single punch.

"The **** god Bane? And it was a direct attack from within the kingdom of God? ”

Bane is a powerful deity who rules over ****, fear, strife, and hatred.

While still a mortal, Bane had tried to become the first terrifying tyrant ever to completely dominate the entire world, making him feared by all. However, since this plan is beyond his mere mortals - he needs more powerful mystical powers from other mortals - the prudent dictator allied himself with other power-seeking mortals (Baal and Mirkor), and they agreed to help each other and make the three of them gods together.

Before achieving their goal, the three mortals ventured around the continent of Faeron, defeating countless powerful enemies - even killing one of the Seven Ancient Gods, and finally, the god of strife, death, and the dead, Jego, who was tired of his long-standing duties, generously (and didn't care) gave the priesthood to the three men, each of whom received a third of the priesthood. Each of them ruled their kingdom contentedly for the next few centuries.

However, in 1358dr, he was once again dissatisfied, and Mirkor once again stole the "Stone of Destiny", written by the god Ao himself, which records the duties and duties of all the gods of Torrell. This act contributed to the Holocaust of the "Turbulent Times" in which the gods were driven to the mortal world by AO and ordered to have only one sage, a mortal body, a human life, and then retrieve the tablet. Bane himself was killed with Thom in a fierce battle outside the port of Tantris, as if the Dark King's growing ambitions had finally brought about his own demise. His church collapsed, and most of the faithful defected to Shirek (the man who had recovered the Slab of Destiny who inherited most of Bane's priesthood) or Achitu ̇ Sham.

However, on the night of the "Midwinter Festival" in 1372dr, Cham's body burst into a terrifying cloud of green light. The reborn Bane slowly straightened up from the stump of Sham, his raised right fist glowing with green fire. When this terrifying deity was reborn, the priests who had believed in Sam returned to the Bane, and this great evil returned.

Bane is in fact hostile to all of the gods of Feren, but he especially hates the following gods: Thom, Shirek, Mystra, Tampass, Heim, Loshanda, Ogma, and Irmat (in order of hatred).

"Interesting!" The Faceless One, who had avoided this attack through the phase shift, reappeared above the ruins, "Could that voice just now be Bane's?" ”

Even before stepping onto the planet Torrell, the Facelings were prepared for what they might encounter. The worst outcome would be to be besieged by the gods of this place - provided that the filthy aggregate has completely infiltrated the world.

In fact, as far as the Faceless One knows, Bane likes to hide behind the scenes, letting his servants carry out intricate plans for him. Although he will burst into unforgiving anger when provoked, he is always able to control himself properly and not let anger dominate him. Moreover, since Bane had been killed while possessed by an avatar, he was extremely reluctant to send an avatar to the mortal world after being reborn. In contrast, he prefers to possess mortals, or have powerful servants (such as the Santarim Order) carry out plans for him.

He is a humanoid creature shrouded in shadows, usually with a bare chest (sometimes wearing jet-black armor and a delicate black cloak with red stripes), and always carrying a jeweled metal iron glove on his right hand - the only weapon he needs to deal with those who dare (or should I say stupid) come to attack him.

In any case, the **** god who is so hasty now seems to be inconsistent with the image that Bane has always had.

From this point of view, the relationship between the god of **** and the aggregate of filthy forces can be ruled out.

The Faceless One is secretly thinking about the **** god - is this guy the Dirty Ensemble, or is it a subordinate of the Filth Collective, or is it the one who is controlled?

Just then, another magic came.

And not one.

A series of nine-ring magic smashed down like this, and the Faceless's life-saving skills were almost unable to release because of the opponent's control magic.

There is no doubt that there is only one god in this world who likes to smash people like this, the goddess of magic, Mystra. She is the third deity since the rise of Netherel to hold the titles of Lady of Mystic and Mother of All Magic, also known as the Mother of Magic.

Goddess Mystra creates and cares for the magical web (in fact, she is the embodiment of it). Due to the existence of a magical network, mortal spellcasters and magical item makers are able to safely use raw magical energy. Mystra is also in charge of all things magical. The figure is the deity of a beautiful human woman with supple, translucent skin and long flowing black hair, making her one of the most powerful beings in the world of Toriel.

Ciric, Bane, and Mystra, these are three incompatible gods. However, when all three gods targeted the Faceless, only Ciric stopped his attack and began taunting the two rivals, and Bane and Mystra began to work together!

And that's not the end of the story. In the face of the Faceless One, who still seems to be at ease, a new god has joined the fray.

Grim Reaper Kranvo.

As a former teammate of the Goddess of Magic and the Prince of Lies, Kranvo was the youngest of the gods in the long cycle of gods.

If it weren't for the turbulent times, the mortal warrior named Cranvo Lyinsban might have died alone on a battlefield worthless and unmourned. He has suffered from an ancient curse in his family since he was born - whenever he performs any act of kindness and selflessness, he is temporarily cursed to transform into a bloodthirsty cheetah. However, by chance, he joined an adventuring party that included Shirek, a thief from Santil Fort, and a young arcane spellcaster under the alias Midnight. After the war of the gods ended, all three mortals were eventually elevated to godhood—the result of a series of cunning intrigues, betrayals, and rare coincidences.

After being elevated to the deity, the so-called bond between the three former companions was maintained. The Prince of Lies holds a grudge against Cranvo and Midnight (who now inherited Mystra's name and duties) and blames them for his series of setbacks. Ciric is constantly plotting to reclaim the jurisdiction of the dead—a priesthood he once had—and drives his followers to violate Kranvo's taboos, such as interfering with the rest of the dead, destroying corpses to make them unrecognizable, and supporting all necromancy-related activities.

Before they became gods, Cranvo and Mystra were originally lovers, but after the long storm of the past fourteen years, their relationship seems to have become uncertain.

Despite this, as soon as the god of death appeared, he did not take revenge on Ciric, but was busy helping his ex-girlfriend to attack Zhao Kun together.

The Faceless One doesn't fight back, but lets the other side attack, and he himself just uses various methods to defend and dodge - in fact, he wants to see how many gods a Faceless can blow up if he dies.

Sure enough, when the three gods couldn't take it down, a fiery red long sword, a giant ship emitting white light, and a hammer that came out of nowhere descended from the sky, frantically attacking the area.

The Faceless One fends off the gods' attacks in the area that is about to be smashed into a basin, while the other wonders if he wants to retreat back to Asta.

No, there is no need to retreat. The situation was manageable, and at the same time, things did not develop more than expected.

It's time to execute the 233 plan that was set before!

With no new gods joining the fray, the Faceless Ones began to pretend to lean towards the altar of one of the lurking gods.

Soon, the Faceless One was slain by a dagger from the void, quickly turning its body and soul to ashes. At the same time, a large number of large quantities of energy escaped into the air.

"Ciric killed the Faceless?"

The voice sounded again after a long absence.

"No, he didn't want to deceive me, how could the Faceless be so easy to kill? Seal off the space and check on Ciric at the same time......" he commanded.

The Prince of Lies was still complacent after slaying the Faceless. Killed that little bug, but grabbed the head under the watchful eye of strong enemies, so many pseudo-gods are helpless guys were killed by me, and sure enough, I am the only true god!

Unfortunately, he didn't come for two minutes before he noticed that as soon as the mysterious being spoke, several gods began to move their own kingdom.

The gods here like to shrink into the kingdom of God. This kingdom, which is completely controlled by the gods, is not only the best defense, but also the ultimate weapon of war for the gods.

In this case, whether it is a desperate battle or being inspected, there must be communication and docking at the level of the kingdom of God.

Obviously, at the command of that mysterious being, these gods really took action. (To be continued.) )
