Chapter 414: The Secret of the Gods (Part I)
γ2nd Updateγ
"My lord. The power of divine magic comes from the gods, and it is common sense that those who are abandoned by the gods will no longer be able to perform divine magic. With a single word, Nicholas attracted the other followers around Saleen. Everyone is a person with a strong desire for knowledge, and Nicholas's words can be said to be contradictory, so everyone is interested.
Nicholas was obviously abandoned by the gods, but he was still able to perform divine magic.
"However, the power of the sorcerer does not come from the gift of the gods. Gods like the Lord of Radiance, who can't come to the Myers continent in person, can't even enter this plane with a clone, so they will look for agents to spread their faith. The advantage of the agent is that he can intercept a part of the believer's faith power and keep it for his own use. β
Nicholas spoke so plainly that even a swordsman could understand it.
"This interception of the power of faith is allowed by the gods, and the fallen magicians are forcibly stealing the power that originally belongs to the gods as a source of consumption for their own skills. β
"Oh!" the magicians marveled, their knowledge of divine magic. It's all from the battle with the magician, and few magicians will betray the gods and mix with the magician, so the magicians' understanding of the magic, most of them is how to destroy and how to fight.
The first time they heard Nicholas explain, everyone was amazed that the magician could steal the power that originally belonged to the gods.
Although humans have conquered the gods and achieved brilliant results, the strength of the gods themselves is undoubted. Believers are lambs of the gods, and magicians are slaves of the gods, and these magicians understand.
"If I steal the power of the gods, I will face the punishment of the gods, and as soon as the Lord of Light comes, I will die without a place to be buried, and even my soul will be captured and sent to the purgatory created by the gods, where I will suffer forever. Therefore, in order to have a better end, the fallen magician will do his best to make the faith of the gods disappear in his own plane. β
"Nicholas, so you have no way back now?" asked Neris with a smile. She knew what Nicholas was trying to do, but she could take advantage of this old man, so she simply helped him say a few words.
"The Lord of Radiance is for the gods who are stingy to the extreme, and I have betrayed. There is absolutely no turning back. Nicholas replied solemnly.
"Stingy, what do you say?" asked Neris very cooperatively, but in her heart, there were many questions about the perfection of the twelve movements of Purgatory. The Lord of Radiance likes to simulate the environment of Purgatory to punish enemies, so the Magician should also know a lot about Purgatory.
"If the Lord of Radiance is generous, the magicians of the Myers Continent Plane will have a lifespan several times longer, and their strength can also be increased a lot, and they will definitely not be suppressed by the magicians so dead. β
The magicians under Saleen snorted disapprovingly, and Nicholas hurriedly said, "I mean, human power is declining, and the magicians would have had a chance to gain overwhelming power. β
The Winged Skull asked, "The Lord of Radiance, doesn't he want his faith to spread widely in the Myers Continent?" If his magician is strong enough, the spread of this belief should be even faster, which is beneficial to him." β
"Gods have long lifespans and are almost immortal. It is true that the Lord of Radiance is reluctant to give his followers too much power, which will slow down the speed of his ascension. β
The magicians were puzzled by what they heard, and this behavior of the gods was indeed inconceivable in the eyes of magicians. If it's a magician. Another option will certainly be made, which is to empower believers to spread their faith as quickly as possible.
The choice of the gods is not stingy, but retarded.
"The power of faith that a plane can provide is limited, beyond this limit, the plane will gradually fail, and many half-planes are created in this way. After the gods turned it into a barren land, they simply gave it up. From now on, it will be difficult to produce any living beings in the half-plane, let alone civilization. Nicholas's words surprised the magicians again.
The gods spread their beliefs, and they can cause the destruction of the plane!
Salin had been to the Divine Punishment Hell and knew what the Half-Plane was like, and the Divine Punishment Hell was not caused by the gods, but a growing Half-Plane. But if a plane degenerates like that, it's really hard to accept.
"It seems that the Lord of Radiance's actions can save the Myers Continent from suffering such a fate. A magician spoke.
"It makes no difference, when the faith spreads to the entire plane, and most people are praying and giving their souls, then the end of this plane is already doomed. Nicholas replied lightly.
"Then the Pope is the oracle of the Lord of Radiance when he unleashes a holy war?" Salin and his followers became a little heavy.
"Yes, that's how the gods are, from one plane to another, encroaching on each other. It was also for this reason that human beings conscripted the gods back then. The continent of Myers is the main plane. If it crashes, there is almost no chance of recovery. β
"Nicholas, how do you know so much?" Salin was a little suspicious of Nicholas's origins, although he was a ninth-level magician, what he said was a secret of a religious core. If this secret spreads......
No, even if it spreads, believers will not believe it. Believers are absolutely blind obedience to the gods. Nicholas was a theorcerer, but not a believer.
Nicholas raised the Code of Corruption in his hand and said, "After I fell, these things appeared in the Codex. The Lord of Radiance also has enemies, not only humans but also gods. These gods are also tempting the followers of the Lord of Light and robbing them of faith. But in this plane, the belief of the Lord of Radiance is relatively strong, and other gods cannot interfere, so they can only wait quietly for the opportunity. β
Nicholas couldn't help but sneer and said, "The Lord of Radiance said that there are no other gods besides him, it is pure lies. After I fell. There are other gods who have left sacred texts in this code of law to tempt me to join. β
"Are you joining?" asked Neris, curious.
The atmosphere that Nicholas managed to create was ruined by Nellis, who allowed him to socialize with the people around him and be accepted, but Nicholas wanted to become a central figure around Saline, which Neris could not tolerate.
The master can only belong to himself, this is Neris's truest thought.
Nicholas was discouraged, but he couldn't blame Neris. To be precise, he needs Nerice's help to be accepted by the others as a fallen magician.
Magicians and magicians. It is an opposite, irreconcilable contradiction. Nicholas's efforts are easily undermined by Nellis.
"I didn't even dare to destroy this Fallen Codex, and I can't use it to fight, because then it would be easy to leave clearer coordinates for other gods to infiltrate this main plane. It would be very difficult to deal with one Lord of Radiance, and a few more gods would be a huge disaster for the Myers Continent. β
"Well, Nicholas, what kind of equipment do you need, I'll figure it out for you. "Salin didn't want to talk about the gods anymore, Nicholas only knew about it, and the secrets of the gods would never be spread at will. Now he was thinking, if the goddess Myers was resurrected, would the Myers continent collapse?
He has promised the goddess and spread her faith.
Is it true that what Nicholas said is that the origin of a plane will be depleted by the arrival of the gods.
If the goddess Myers is resurrected, what will be the result of the Myers continent? Salin only now realized that the spirituality he had learned was really too shallow.
"I'm a Fallen Magician, and there are a lot of aggressive Fallen Magic, and there are fewer healing types. As we all know, magic heals faster than magic, and the only harm is that it consumes some of the lives of the healed. But in special times, magic healing is still necessary, so I need a piece of healing equipment. β
"Therapeutic Equipment ......"
"A fallen scepter, a scepter that provides life force, so that the healed will pay a very small price. β
Salin understood that he had the left hand of a god, and that he contained a powerful life force. The armor he made for Sika. The longbow for Seven Nights, as well as the quiver, all have materials for the Tree of Life.
Nicholas was very sensitive to divinity, and he didn't know what materials Salin used, and he couldn't directly say what he wanted, so he chose the scepter, which looked similar to a magic wand.
What an old slippery head!" Salin sighed to himself. However, the material of a scepter is still willing to give to Nicholas, after all, Nicholas's healing magic is indeed as he said, when fighting, the effect is too fast, and it is not comparable to magic.
"The Soul Orb can be embedded directly on the scepter, so that it is easier for me to control it when fighting. Nicholas simply finished his request, knowing that Saleen had always been extremely generous to his followers.
"Don't worry, Nicholas, I know what you want. Salin suddenly remembered that he also had the two materials that Joey had given him, the Sacred Mulberry and the Ghost Oak, and the Tree of Life, which was just right for Nicholas to make a scepter that was more suitable for him.
It is not a secret that Saleen entered the core temple, but the contract with the goddess was only known to a few people who entered the temple. Saleen's heart was a little irritable, if Nicholas's description of the gods was true, then wouldn't helping the goddess Myers help her to destroy the plane in which she existed?
If you don't complete the contract, your soul will be sealed in that monument and you will never be able to get liberation.
This is really a difficult thing to choose, Saleen knows that he is not a noble person, but destroying a plane and turning the continent of Myers into a place like God's punishment hell, Saleen is also difficult to accept.
But where can I go to verify whether what Nicholas said is true?
