Chapter 645: Split
The entire city of the Drow Elves has been thrown into complete chaos, and what was once a secret war has turned into an almost blatant battle between them.
The reason is simple, that is......... The rules have changed.
Philray stood on a high platform, looking at the city shrouded in flames below, his eyes sparkling. After killing all the mistresses of the Council, Phil immediately launched a declaration that she would inform all the drow elves of the hidden facts, so that they could understand the truthβββ she believed in the spider goddess, and the previous ruler of the city was only a heretical evil god disguised as the spider goddess!
At first, in the face of Fairy's announcement, almost all the Drow Elf families thought she was crazy, and the mistresses and priests of those families also received the wrath of the Spider God βββ completely destroy this blasphemer!
However, they all failed.
Neither the Wax Melting Demon nor the Great Divine Power bestowed by the Spider God Queen was the match for the strange construct, and Phil manipulated the construct, destroying one family after another that dared to attack her. So gradually, some people in the Drow Elf family began to doubt......... Could it be that what Phil said is true?
After all, if you calm down and think about it, you will know that no priest of the Queen of Spider God would make such a disrespectful and blasphemous statement, you must know that what Fairey said that even the Wax Melting Demon of the Queen of the Spider has betrayed their master, this is too ridiculous, but because it is too ridiculous, it is not ......... Really?
As a result, some of the smaller families began to quietly change direction, and they privately contacted Fairrey to find out how Fairey found out about all this. Then, Philray led them to feel the power and joy from the real spider god, and after that, many small families also gained new powers, so they decisively switched sides and joined Fairrey's ranks.
At present, the drow elves in this city are divided into two factions, one is led by the tenth family, and is still loyal to the original spider god, including several middle-level families. The other faction is led by Phil Rey, a force composed of most small families, loyal to what Phil calls "the real spider god queen".
And now, according to Philray's brain supplement, the story has become like this.
After the Drow Elves were betrayed by their evil, vile, and shameless elven brethren and driven to the dark hell, it was the great Spider God who took them in and gave them the power and space to survive underground. But the great Spider God also lost her power because of this, and then she suffered a shameful betrayal.
A traitor desperate for the power of the Queen of God attacked the Spider God and shamelessly imprisoned her in the abyss. She has absorbed the power of the true Spider God and used it to manipulate these ignorant drow elves, deceive them, and lure them into their allegiance to hers.
However, the real Spider God Queen never gave up resisting, and Phil Ray was the successor chosen by the real Spider God Queen!
As for the fact that the structure is immune to the power of the Spider God Queen, it is because it is the holy object created by the real Spider God Queen, and the hypocritical power of that betrayer naturally cannot be compared to the real Spider God Queen!
Well, it's justified and there's nothing wrong with it.
Of course, it's hard to say whether the other drow elves will believe it if they just say that, but soon, they get the real proof.
Divine Magic.
That's right, on the continent of Faerun, believing in the gods will gain divine magic, and turning your back on the gods will result in losing divine magic, which is why women have a high status in the Drow world, because only women can become the priests of the spider queen and wield the power of divine magic.
Regardless of whether what Phil said is true or not, one thing is clear, that is, believing that the imposter can get magic magic, but can believing in the "real spider goddess" that Fairey said can get magic magic?
Hey, you can!
As an "old god", Duanmu Huai also has divine skills!
In fact, the gods of Cthulhu's world also possess divine powers, which is why the cultists dare to make big news. For example, transform into bats, restrain the enemy's movements, create zombies, transform into flesh, and so on......... In other words, as long as the priests were willing to convert their faith, then they could obtain the gifts of the old gods and acquire new divine arts.
In a way, this kind of magic is much more vicious than the magic of the spider goddess.
There are two points.
First, as long as you use this magic, whether it is the caster, the target, or even the witness, you will lose SAN value.
However, there is no such thing as SAN value on the continent of Ferron.........
Second, once the SAN value drops to a certain level, then the other party's sanity will inevitably begin to crumble, and they will succumb to the spiritual pollution of the old gods.
After realizing this, Duanmu Huai was about to go crazy.
Now the battle between the two sides is basically like this.
The two factions of believers meet and start a battle, and then the believers on Philey's side will release a large number of SAN reduction spells, regardless of whether these spells have an effect or not, they will reduce the SAN value of both friends and foes.
Then when the SAN value is reduced to a certain level, the priests, priests, and warriors on the opposite side will completely collapse, succumb to the spiritual pollution of the old gods, admit the so-called "true spider goddess", and become Philary's subordinates.
After all, the reduction of SAN value is almost irreversible, and the Faren Continent has no concept of SAN value at all, and does not know how to prevent this terrifying power from the spirit.
Of course, with the reduction of SAN value and the spiritual pollution of the old gods, even the fanatics on Fairy's side will gradually change their appearance, and their forms will mutate, distort, and turn into indescribable, terrifying old dependents. Their bodies will gradually elongate to resemble snakes, with a pair of bat-like wings and their heads taking on spider-like shapes.
Well, the pure race of superior servants of the Old Gods.
This is placed in a normal society, and I am afraid that everyone can guess that there are ghosts.
But the problem is that Drow is not a normal society.
Everyone has long been used to turning the drow elves into spider elves or something, and Phil even declared that those drow elves who have been transformed into the family of the old gods are the brave ones who have really received the gift of the spider goddess!!
Of course, if that's just the case, then Duanmu Huai should also be seen as fun, but the problem is that this is not just fun, but even brings him real benefits!
That isβββ experience of his old god's will has skyrocketed, and he has leveled up!!
If it is the power of faith, then Duanmu Huai can't be upgraded, Faren is the world of faith power, and Duanmu Huai's move to pretend to be the name of the Spider God Queen is impossible to increase the power of faith for himself. That's why each god is separated from the other, and very few gods act in the name of other gods.
However, Duanmu Huai's experience of the old god's will comes from spiritual pollution, that is, the more creatures have a lower SAN value, the higher the degree of spiritual pollution, and the more experience he gains.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai does not need to rely on faith power to gain experience, no matter what he disguises as such, as long as the spiritual pollution can spread, then his experience value will skyrocket.
In addition, Duanmu Huai also taught some of the spells of the Pink Book as divine techniques, and by the way, he circled a wave of [God of Pleasure] experience.
Now these two clerical experience is simply skyrocketing, okay!
At present, the war between the two sides is almost in a one-sided form, although the faction led by the tenth family still has the divine power bestowed by the spider goddess, but it is too terrifying to be able to stand up to the old gods and the power of pleasure here. The first thing that comes up is the power of pleasure to reduce the will, and after the defense is broken, a bunch of old god magic is thrown over, and the SAN value instantly drops to a low level, and the mind collapses and the spirit is polluted.
And then it's over.
No matter how awesome the spider goddess is, it is impossible to manipulate a madman, right?
Soon, the former's power shrank rapidly, after all, Duanmu Huai is not a spider queen, and it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman or a helicopter gunship, you can use magic magic. In contrast, only women on Drow's side can use divine arts, and the number is different, coupled with the ability to reduce the SAN value, the Feren Continent has almost no means to deal with it, so that it is almost defeated and finally completely collapsed.
However......... And that's not all.
Originally, Duanmu Huai just planned to train the mental manipulation skills he had obtained from the Spirit Sucker, but he didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen unexpectedly, so he immediately changed his mind and set a new goal for Fairrey.
That isβββ liberate all the dark elven cities in the entire Dark Regions and save them from false beliefs!
And Phil had no doubt, and directly gathered all the drow elves to form a large army, and rushed directly to another nearby drow elf city.
"Tut-tut, I didn't expect it to go so well."
Standing on the city wall, looking at the Zall army below, Duanmu Huai also shook his head and sighed. At first, he just wanted to test his thoughts, the technique of closed memory brainwashing like the Spirit Suction Monster was too dangerous and low-level, so Duanmu Huai wanted to see what would become if he could distort the minds and beliefs of these drow elves.
Although it is said that the Drow priests are all faithful followers of the spider goddess, and their loyalty is naturally needless to say, the question isβββ is the spider goddess they believe in, is it the same?
That's right, this is the source of Duanmu Huai's twisting Fairrey's heart.
It's true that every drow spirit believes in the spider goddess, but who can guarantee that the spider goddess you believe in must be the spider goddess I believe in?
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and I am afraid that a thousand drow elves have a thousand different ways to interpret the oracle of the spider goddess.
The best way to dismantle this belief from within is to strengthen the individual mind and weaken the collective mind.
Ferray was eager to survive, so she killed her sister and mother, and in Fairry's opinion, all this was the will of the Spider Queen, so at this time, she was already convinced of the Spider Queen who gave her the body and supreme status. And when the main mothers led by the council reprimanded her, there was naturally a difference between the spider god queen in their hearts and the spider god queen in Phil Rey's heart.
Well, one of them must be fake!
So Duanmu Huai directed Fairrey's thinking to the other party, and came to such a result. This is much more clever than manipulating the other person's memories or something. Because this is almost all the conclusion that Fairray came to by his own thinking, all Duanmu Huai did was induce her to make a choiceβββ everyone would doubt others, but they rarely doubted themselves.
It's like justice, everyone is fighting for their own justice, but when both sides uphold justice and confront each other, then there must be the justice of one side that is evil to the others.
This kind of collision of ideas is the most incomprehensible, unless one of them suddenly wakes up and gives upβββ it is impossible to give up, he has sacrificed so much for his own ideas, and once he gives up, it is equivalent to denying his life.
So in the end, there is only one way to go.
And now, Duanmu Locust has achieved its first victory.
He knew that it was not over yet, the wrath of the Spider Goddess was echoing in the dark region, but there was nothing she could do, this was the real world, just like the evil god needed to make a large number of sacrifices to blur the barrier between reality and subspace, unless the dark elf believers of an entire city were sacrificed to connect to the subspace, the spider goddess could only stare in her lair in the bottomless abyss.
And even if she comes to the real world, Duanmu Huai is confident to kill her.
The dark elves of the city are now completely polluted.
Looking at the drow elves who did not hesitate to leave the city and set it on fire, Duanmu Huai smiled. Philray had told them that this was an expedition and that they would travel through the shadows of the Shadows in the glory of the true spider queen to liberate all their fellow citizens who had been blinded by the traitors. Until then, they won't come back and won't stop!
In other words, a normal drow elf would never agree to Philray's almost crazy order. But now, the spirit of these drow elves has been completely distorted, their hearts are filled with joy and pollution, and they have become obedient and only longing for happiness and the liberation of the true spider queen.
This trick is not bad to use against the believers of the four gods.
Duanmu Huai nodded, the indescribable spiritual pollution of the old gods is not much weaker than the whispering of the evil gods, after all, the four gods are the mountain kings in the galaxy, and they cannot be compared with the outer gods that crisscross the entire universe. If the level of the Old God's will is high enough, then he will be more certain against the four gods.
As for the outer godsβββ well, let's talk about these troubles when they enter the galaxy.
Of course, Duanmu Locust hopes that it is best for them not to come here for the rest of their lives.
After all, the universe is very big.
