Chapter 275: The Power of Faith and Pre-War Plans
Originally, these faith powers did not pass through the Divine Grace Realm to reach Ciri, who was in the Magical Realm, and he forgot about it. Now it seems that this power has not penetrated the realm, but it has not dissipated, and it has gathered around Ciri again after his return to the Grace Realm.
The power of faith after being purified by the little guy last time has actually been around Ciri all the time and has not dispersed. Ciri couldn't think of how to use or eliminate these things, he consulted the Ace Soul Academy, and the other party couldn't come up with any way.
Because there are many, many kinds of spiritual powers, the power of faith that surrounds Ciri obviously belongs to a very special kind of spiritual power. In terms of the research and application of spiritual powers, the wizarding world is inferior to the charismatic world. Therefore, the Ace Soul Mage can't handle this power, there is no way to use it, and it can't be eliminated.
Fortunately, this power will affect Ciri's mind and will before it is purified, but after being purified by the little one, it will no longer have a negative impact on Ciri herself. It's just that it will automatically amplify Ciri's will, and subtly help him influence other people's thinking. Because the amount of faith power after purification is not large, this effect is slightly better than nothing, and basically it has no big effect.
Therefore, Ciri didn't care too much, and he didn't expect to return to his hometown this time and encounter this trouble again. There is no way, Ciri can only return to the Colin plane for a trip and let the little guy purify himself again, so that even if he still can't eliminate the influence on others, he can always greatly reduce the effect, and the most important thing is to eliminate the interference of the impurities in the power of faith on himself.
Unfortunately, when Kayla gets home, she tells Ciri that she has been asleep for a while, and she doesn't respond to her call. Now that the main part of Xiao Jiu is bigger than Xi Rui's head, it is estimated that it will not be good to stand on his shoulder after waking up. When Xiao Jiu sleeps, some blue-white flames will be ignited on his body, which is a protective measure, and at this time, except for the most familiar three people, Ciri, Kayla, and Winnie, no one can approach Xiao Jiu, otherwise they will be burned to ashes.
This kind of flame doesn't destroy non-living objects, at least there is no need to worry about burning things. As soon as Ciri approached the little one, a large number of flames burned in the surrounding air, and one by one, flames surrounded Ciri and Koku.
Last time, Ciri purified the power of faith in this way, and it seems that even if he falls asleep, Xiao Jiu can still help Ciri eliminate those negative elements. Last time, these flames that burned around Xi Rui burned for several days, this time it should be because Xiao Jiu's strength has improved a lot, although because the power of faith is more than last time, the fire is much bigger than last time, but the burning time is much shorter.
In just ten minutes, the flames around Xi Rui's body burned out, everything returned to normal, and those spiritual powers shrank more than ten times. However, it is not that there is no effect, due to the increase in the spiritual power of the body, Ciri's own will has a greater impact on the thinking of others, but it is still much better than before it was purified.
There is a boundary to this kind of influence, and the closer he is within this boundary, the more severe the impact, the farther away it is, the lighter it is, and the less affected it is outside the boundary.
It's a palliative, not a cure, and the gods who know the most about the power of faith are definitely the gods who make a living from it. Now that the two realms are fighting fiercely, Ciri doesn't dare to go to the gods to discuss how to solve the problem of the power of faith.
In the Divine Grace Realm, all those who are not the gods of the Temple of the Gods have their own power of faith, which is an unforgivable sin, and it is impossible to escape death in the end.
There was no better way, and Ciri could only bring the sleeping Xiao Jiu and even the Divine Tree back to the temporary base of the Nien Plane in the Divine Grace Realm. As long as Xiao Jiu is here, Xi Rui has a way to minimize the influence of the power of faith, otherwise he may cause some big trouble.
There are many mavericks among the academic mages, and they have all kinds of rules that are unique to them. Some of those rules are strange, some of them are due to personality quirks, and some of them are due to experimental accidents that have forced some academic mages to make rules that look very strange to outsiders.
Now there's a new member to their ranks, and that's Ciri. Upon his return to the Divine Grace Realm, Ciri announced that due to an experimental accident, all visitors were generally required to discuss issues ten steps away from him, and that matters other than those that involved deliberation and discussion were not subject to this restriction. Some of the previous visitors also noticed that their own minds seemed to be very easily guided by Ciri's will, but they expressed their understanding, saving Ciri a lot of trouble with specific explanations.
By the time Ciri's side has resolved the issue of the power of faith, the preparations for the final city's station on the Nien plane have almost begun. Because they did not anticipate the existence of a second passage between the two realms, the gods and churches of the Divine Grace Realm did not take much precautions internally, and they always thought that mastering the passage between the Vito Eye plane and the Nien plane would be foolproof.
The Church's negligence was expected in the City of the End, and it was precisely this opportunity to take the charity by surprise.
Now that the war between the two realms has gradually progressed to a period of fierce fighting, a large number of high-ranking clergy have been transferred to the front line battlefield of the Eye of Vito. Recently, the City of the End has deliberately shown weakness to the enemy, secretly transferring many high-end combat forces to the Nien Plane Station through the secret passage of the Ancient Dragon's Top, and the frontal battlefield on the side of Vito's Eye has put on a posture of defeat, and after a little resistance, it abandoned the city and fled.
In order to increase the bait, they deliberately left abundant supplies in the abandoned city, the quantity of which would not arouse the suspicion of the other party, and would arouse the greed of the other party. At the same time, the City of Finality also deliberately organized some high-end combat groups to sneak attack those cities with weak defenses from time to time, and then take away all the materials in the city.
In this way, the Church of the Divine Grace Realm really hit the plan and began to mobilize a large number of defenders of the Nien plane to the front line area of Vito's front to defend the city to prevent the enemy's sporadic sneak attacks with supplies.
In this way, they can boldly carry out material transportation and construction without worrying too much about being discovered. And when the preparation is over, the raid plan will be smoother, and it is estimated that the results will also be richer.
The stakes are high for this sneak attack, so be sure to be prepared and leave no room for error. The overall plan announced by the City of the End is to first block the passage between the Nien plane and the main plane St. Moss, so that the opposing reinforcements cannot be supported. The reinforcements here are mainly for the gods themselves, as most of the mobile high-ranking clergy have been transferred to the front lines to fight.
This first step is very difficult, because blocking the space passage is not easy for the academic mages of the Colin plane, but it depends on who the target is. In the face of the gods whose strength is unknown, no one is sure that this blockade will not be quickly broken by the gods. Once the space blockade is breached, not only will the entire plan fall short, but the main forces of the magical world responsible for the sneak attack on the Nien plane may also be directly annihilated by the enemy!
