Chapter Ninety-Nine: Born of Faith
Xiao Chen raised his hand, and a small ball of red light appeared in his hand, he threw the ball to a wooden cup on the table, the cup was wrapped in red light and suddenly collapsed like a puddle of soft mud, and then under Xiao Chen's control, it turned into a cube, although it was still a piece of wood, but it had no texture, and it looked like a piece of plastic.
He muttered unhappily: "The rules of this divine power itself regarding the decomposition, transformation, and reorganization of matter are already clearly inseparable, and the rest is a matter of time. But how that ability to mind control is achieved, there is no clue. ”
Luo Ling put down the pen, pushed the piece of paper in front of him in front of Xiao Chen, and said, "The answer is: no." ”
"What?" Xiao Chen saw that the paper listed the entries of the Divine Power Law and the percentages at the back.
"In the past few days, I have eliminated ninety percent of the rules in my divine power by elimination, and the remaining ten percent are not the same type of rules, but some bits and pieces. Although the purpose is unknown, it is not possible that it was used for mind control. ”
"So?"
So the conclusion is that the divine power of the god of forging does not have the ability to control people. Luo Ling said, she clicked on the entries listed on the paper, "It's really a god who is good at casting, so the laws written here are all based on the change of matter." ”
"This ...... How is this possible? In the temple that day, you didn't see that all these priests and guards were all madmen after being wrapped in red mist. Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe the ingredients of the red mist are more than just divine power?" Luo Ling held the pen and gently touched her chin.
"Is it just ordinary spiritual magic? If it's just that kind of magic, I can feel it. But I didn't feel any spiritual magic at the time. Xiao Chen recalled the scene at that time.
"I think we should broaden our thinking. You have to know that the people controlled by it are all people who believe in it, could this power have something to do with the belief of the dwarves?"
"It's kind of interesting, but we don't have any information about it. ”
"Faith is a very powerful force. A voice came from behind them, and Xiao Chen looked back, but he didn't see a figure. However, in his spiritual power perception, there was a humanoid spiritual force standing in their room.
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen looked in that direction warily.
"My body is now lying on the bed next door. The voice said.
"Bohawks?" Luo Ling said in surprise, "We have been trying to treat you these days, but you have not woken up, and we have not found the crux of the problem. ”
Bohawks' spirit body said, "That false god's attack not only corroded my body, but also harmed my soul. I've been hiding my soul with the Death Temple's Esoteric Soul Box. It wasn't until I had just released my consciousness that I found myself in therapy. My body is still very weak, so I looked around with the way of soul walking, and it was here that I bumped into you. Sure enough, the people of the Tower of China saved me, and those incompetent dwarves couldn't do this. I thought I was going to be a necro, but now it looks like I can continue to be a human for a while. ”
"Looks like you've noticed us before. Xiao Chen said.
"Of course, I've noticed you in Crowell, but believers in true God like us must keep a low profile. At the time, I was guessing that your actions had little to do with us, and that it would be better not to disturb each other. But now it seems that what we have to face in the end is the same. ”
"It seems that you have some opinions on things like faith?" Luo Ling asked.
"Please come to the next room. It's easier to talk that way. Bohawkes said.
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling glanced at each other and decided to go over and listen to what the other party had to say. Come to the next room. Bohawks had really opened his eyes, and the scorched black on his face had become less scary under Luo Ling's treatment in the past few days, but still half of his face was much darker than the other half.
Xiao Chen gave him a cushion so that he could do and speak.
The archmage from the Temple of Death struggled to sit up, and the first thing he said was a sigh: "I didn't expect our luck to be so bad that we actually ran into a real false god." ”
"What do you mean by a real pseudo-god?" Xiao Chen felt that this statement sounded strange.
"The word false god is not used casually. Not anyone who falsely claims to be a god is qualified to be called a false god, a false god has divine powers, has the power to be close to a god, and his strength is even higher than that of many god-chosen demigods. But they are much worse in nature, and they are still very different from the gods. Bohawkes said.
"It seems that you know a lot about this?" Xiao Chen said.
"After all, I come from a temple of true gods, and I have my own accumulation in this area. If you look at the texts in the Temple of the True God, you will find that there are actually many records of false gods in history. At the beginning of the Age of Mythology, the Knights of the Templars had a mission to eliminate those who claimed to be gods. As one of the high priests of the Temple of Death, Bohawks naturally knew a lot of secrets about the gods, and he continued, "According to the records in the texts, there are two ways to become a false god, one is the grant of foreign objects, and the other is the accumulation of faith. ”
"The granting of foreign objects is simple, for example, if someone seizes the divine power existing in an artifact and temporarily obtains the power similar to that of a god, it can also be called a pseudo-god, but it is extremely rare to achieve this level of artifacts and treasures, at least for now, it is basically impossible. ”
"What's the difference between this and a demigod?I know that a lot of demigods' powers are also given by gods, isn't that a foreign thing?" Luo Ling asked.
"The demigod was blessed by the gods and received such a transformation from his entire body. But the pseudo-gods obtained divine power without the permission of the gods, so it is naturally different. Bohawks said, "But the power of this pseudo-god is usually not strong, and it is limited by the power of that artifact. ”
But the accumulation of faith is a completely different situation, if there are many people who really believe in this false god, they will produce a special spiritual power, if the false god obtains this spiritual power generated by other people's prayers, it is possible to generate a special divine power: the power of faith.
Since the power of faith comes from devout believers, if it is used on these believers in reverse, it will get a particularly powerful effect. So since ancient times, false gods with believers have always been the most difficult enemy to deal with. ”
