Chapter 319: To Confirm a Hypothesis (Go to the Hospital for a Day to Confirm Lung Inflammation)
There is no doubt that with the appearance and disappearance of the god Io, even those gods in the Pantheon who did not believe that a creature like the Eldrazi could have such terrifying and destructive power have now become cautious without exception.
For the events of the turbulent year have proven that this majesty above the gods will only take the initiative to deal with something when the gods have made an unforgivable mistake, or when the whole world is in great crisis.
He doesn't care about good and evil, he doesn't care about chaos and order, he doesn't care about the violent conflicts and strife between the gods, he only cares about the safety and survival of the world under his feet.
Therefore, Io's cautious attitude towards the Eldrazi determined that the gods of Ferron would at least briefly regard it as something on the same level as the most dangerous ancient evils.
Yes!
In the eyes of the gods, the appearance of the Eldrazi was only one more than one of the many destructive factors in the world.
There is no way, who allowed this universe to destroy the material world There are too many ancient evils.
Paises, the creator of the benthic devilfish, known as the Queen of Blood, has the ability to easily twist, infect, and destroy a physical world.
In addition, there is the Chaos Dog Kozv, who feeds on souls, the Devourer of the Endless World, Sosotug, the mysterious God Slayer summoned by the mages and sealed in a prison in another dimension, and the legendary giant serpent that feeds on the nightmares of all things, Dandel......
In short, there is no shortage of things that can destroy the world in this place of Faerun, and all kinds of ancient evil things are even more grasped.
While the Eldrazi from the Dark Void may be more powerful and invincible, is there any fundamental difference between destroying the world once and destroying the world a hundred times?
At least for these gods and their believers in this world, there is no essential difference.
Perhaps the only difference is that this new scourge that has never been seen before is controlled to a certain extent by a mortal who has also been given the same status as the gods by the god Io.
Of course, this doesn't have much of an impact on most gods.
Because Zuo Si did not engage in "materialism" on his own territory, and allowed most of the gods of the good, neutral, and even evil camps to build temples and spread beliefs and ideas.
New cults like Irmat, the god of suffering, Ogma, the god of knowledge, Midnight, the goddess of magic, and Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, have even received a certain level of support and are expanding rapidly along the west coast of the continent of Faerun at an incredible rate.
Many other gods who held the corresponding priesthood also suffered a wave of dividends with the prosperity of trade and commerce.
So on the whole, Zuo Si's relationship with most of the gods and churches is quite good.
In addition, he himself does not discriminate against humanoid races such as elves, half-elves, dwarves, dwarves, and halflings, but gives them the same identity and status as humans, so the relationship with the gods behind these races is not bad.
The elves and dwarven gods, in particular, applauded the massacre of orcs in the Northlands.
Because the more orcs die, the better it will be for the survival of these two races in the Northlands.
However, if you have friends, you will naturally be enemies.
Like Shirek, the prince of lies, Shar, the goddess of the night, Mara, the beast god, the orc gods, and the goblin gods, who were mercilessly attacked, naturally regarded Zuo Si as a thorn in the flesh.
This meeting presided over by a powerful divine power is that they are secretly playing ghosts, wanting to take this opportunity to find out the details of Zuo Si, and even suppress and restrict it in the name of the gods.
But unfortunately, they never dreamed that Zuo Si would directly choose to use the simplest and most brutal way to silence the gods, that is, to show that he had the ability to destroy the world and even kill the gods.
Now, with the gods themselves giving it the same status as the gods, this farce naturally cannot continue.
Countless gods also got up and left the pantheon and returned to their realm in the outer planes.
After all, as high gods, they are very busy, dealing with the prayers of thousands of believers all the time, and plotting how to expand their influence in the material world.
After most of the gods had disappeared, the Goddess of Magic sighed slightly at midnight and said, "Although I have long known that you will do something earth-shattering, isn't it a bit too much to summon a twisted monster that is enough to destroy the world?" ”
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied, "This is also something that can't be helped."
You can also see how arrogant and arrogant the gods are in their dealings with mortals, and even Tyr, who represents justice and justice, shows a condescending attitude.
If I want to have a chance to talk on an equal footing, I have to show them power, power that is truly powerful enough to kill and destroy the gods.
Being strong, and then earning respect, is a universal rule in any world. ”
"But it also made a lot of enemies for you." Midnight reminded a little helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. Whatever the hostile gods were planning, I was ready for the challenge. Not to mention...... I'm not alone, am I? Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
Midnight replied, thoughtlessly, "Of course! At least I and the God of Knowledge will continue to give you the greatest possible support. ”
"That's right! And I noticed that this time you seem to have traveled to a very distant place and brought back a lot of interesting and taboo knowledge. Ogmar's tone was unabashedly excited and anticipatory.
"I think I might need to share this knowledge and magic with you both a little later."
With that, Zuo Sichong, the two godly allies, bowed slightly, and then walked straight to Talona, who was already showing considerable impatience.
The goddess of poison and disease didn't even say a word of nonsense, she first opened her arms and gave him a warm hug, and then said in an extremely proud and proud tone: "You did a good job, my child." Look at the reaction of the gods, they are all terrified by you. ”
"No, it's not me they're afraid of, it's something standing behind me. Plus, I've brought you a small gift from another world that I hope you will enjoy. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si opened the box in his hand and released the two cubs of the poisonous leopard from inside.
As soon as they appeared, Talona immediately sensed the deadly germs contained in the poison sac around the neck of the magical creature, and her eyes lit up instantly, and she stretched out her hand to release two divine powers.
Moment!
The sac poison leopard, which was still menacing in the last second, became a coquettish big cat at the feet of the goddess in the next second.
There is no doubt that this magical creature from another world perfectly meets the requirements of the goddess of poison and disease for pets.
If nothing else, Talona will personally raise them and make a series of modifications to make them a new species that can spread across the continent of Faeron and the entire multiverse.
"Great gift! I like it very much! ”
The goddess had a smile of relief, joy, and satisfaction on her face, and she also made a show off gesture to the goddess of magic and the god of knowledge not far away, as if to declare her ownership of Zuosi.
Of course, for such a low-level and boring provocation, neither Midnight nor Ogma reacted much.
After all, these two are not teasers of the chaotic camp, both in character and style, they are quite calm.
Sensing Talona's intense jealousy, she quickly chose to leave the pantheon rather than stay as an obnoxious light bulb.
At this moment, the huge pantheon had long since become empty, and all the rest of the gods had been gone.
So Zuo Sixuan also tore off his disguise and made a straightforward request to the goddess of poison and disease: "I want a great druid." ”
"The Great Druid?" Talona flickered slightly.
Because although there are some druids in her field and among her followers, they are generally not very high, and they are always on the fringes of the church.
As for the Great Druid, it's even less pitiful.
After all, anyone who can be called a great druid must have at least a career level of LV14 or above, and at the same time control and dominate a large forest.
If you exclude the Great Druids who evolved from Treants, Nature Spirits, and Intelligent Beasts, but in terms of intelligent creatures such as humans and elves, I am afraid that the total number of Grand Druids in the entire Feron will not exceed a hundred.
Of course, Zuo Si knew the rarity of the Great Druid, so he immediately nodded: "That's right, it's the Great Druid." All I need is a name and an address, and it doesn't matter who he is or what denomination he belongs to. ”
"Oh? In that case, I have a suitable person here. His name was Angel Poisoncore, and he used to be one of my most valued believers, but then for some unknown reason he suddenly became interested in mushrooms and various mushrooms, and gradually fell at the feet of the demon lord Lady Fungus, Zugmoi, who is now living in the fungal forest of the Dark Regions. Before his betrayal, he was a LV19 Great Druid, and now he should be a legendary Druid. ”
Talona touched her chin and quickly gave the corresponding information.
It was not difficult to see from the vicious light flashing in those eyes that she definitely hoped that Zuo Si could solve this traitor on her behalf.
"Angel Poison Core? Believers in Lady Fungus Zugmoi? Sounds like a perfect target......"
Zuo Si lifted the corner of the group and showed a playful smile.
"Tell me, what do you want to do with this guy? Isn't it going to be his soul to fill the exclusive weapon I gave you? ”
As she spoke, the goddess set her gaze on the artifact scepter hanging from her waist.
Since she had blessed the weapon herself, she could easily tell that the scepter's strongest function was not yet in use.
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Yes and no." Admittedly, I need a Great Druid soul to gain some of the special abilities of the Druid class, but I also need a Nature Blessed Body of a Great Druid to do a very interesting but dangerous experiment. ”
"Experiments?"
Talona's eyes gleamed with curiosity.
"Yes! Experiment! Because...... I want to create a god with my own hands in another world, a god who lives and obeys my commands, a god who can be reborn no matter how many times I die. ”
When he said this, Zuo Si subconsciously raised his hand and made a grasping motion, his eyes flashing with unprecedented scorching light and ambition.
"Create a god?!"
Talona was visibly startled, her eyes wide.
Because in her cognition, there has never been a situation where mortals have created gods, but there are many examples of gods helping mortals become gods.
Zuo Si noticed the goddess's reaction and took the initiative to explain: "Under Fei Lun's rules, it is of course very difficult to do this. But the problem is that not all worlds have the same strict and harsh restrictions on becoming gods as here. In many worlds, as long as the strength is strong to a certain extent, the transformation of life can be completed, that is, the promotion from mortal to god. And there is only one prerequisite for completing this life transformation, and that is sufficient energy. ”
"I see! So why don't you make yourself a god, but create one? Tarona asked, somewhat puzzled.
But Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "To become a god of a certain world means to bind to that world to a certain extent and fulfill the corresponding responsibilities and obligations. I don't want to accept such constraints, and I don't want to be confined to a small world. And this is just an experiment for me to prove some of my conjectures. ”
There is no doubt that Zuo Si has always looked down on the gods of the Torrell world who can't even maintain their self-consciousness and are very susceptible to the influence of the priesthood.
On top of that, their power will also be limited in a variety of ways.
For example, in the world of Torrell, whether it is a god born in the native land or a god who has crossed over from the outside world, without exception, they all need to obey the will of the god Io.
In the Klein world where the dragon lance is located next door, there is also a god who holds supreme authority.
In other words, when a god enters a world, he needs to obtain the permission of the supreme god or creator of this world, or the will of the world, and act according to the rules specified by the other party.
What's the point of being a god like this, who is restricted at every turn and occasionally oppressed?
In contrast, the kind of "god" that Nicol Bolas tried to take away from the spark of many traveling mages was what Zuo Si really sought and longed for.
And using the energy of the deep well of his soul to create a living god was the first step in his ambitious plan, in order to confirm a conjecture in his heart.
Of course, Zuo Si would not tell anyone these words, not even Talona, the goddess of poison and disease that he had already listed as something he could trust.
