Chapter 623: Extermination and Bewitchment
Zhang Lisheng's words made the puzzled expression on Catherine's face even thicker, and she was about to open her mouth to ask again, when she saw the black-haired man next to her stretch out his right hand and gently place it on the wooden windowglass.
At the moment when the young man's fingers touched the glass, the raindrops that were rapidly falling on the old wooden window seemed to be slightly shaken by some mysterious fluctuation.
But then everything returned to its original state, and the strange thing just now seemed to be a hallucination, except that ripples began to slowly surge in the blood-red water of the street.
As time passed, the ripples of the water became more and more turbulent, and the thick concrete floor was shattered, and the sand fossilized into springs.
After a few more seconds, a fountain of mud erupted into the sky with more and more raging spurts, and dozens of monstrous creatures that looked like cyclops in Western mythology were born.
"So, what is that?" Catherine asked with a slight tremor in her voice, keenly sensing that the appearance of those pale red earth giants should have some connection with the black-haired youth who called himself the 'Divine Messenger' next to her.
Zhang Lisheng didn't answer the girl's words immediately, but stared out the window, watching the muddy water creation he created fiercely pounce on the swaying undead zombies, smashing them into meat sauce or tearing them in half directly, and after killing them, he began to wantonly attack all the creatures under his one-eyed gaze, with a relaxed smile on his face.
"I've killed so many people, and no one has interfered for so long, well, it's good," he muttered to himself, turning his head to look at the girl next to him, and said, "Catherine, those one-eyed earth giants just now were summoned by me using the magic given by Wu Li. Those false gods can bestow believers with evil magic, how can the true gods not have this ability.
You must know that spreading faith is not only to grasp the grace of mercy, but also to hold the sharp 'war knife' in your hand, and I will give you your 'war knife' now. ”
Saying that, the young man moved holy, slowly, and put his hands flowing with the brilliance of earth yellow, water blue, dirt red, and light blue on the top of the stunned girl's head, rubbed her hair, and sang loudly: "Catherine Panna, the shepherd of the gods in the mortal world, I have come because of your piety, to bring you the grace of the gods.
God will allow you, and from now on the waters will flow by your heart's desire..."
With Zhang Lisheng's soothing chanting, the sound fluttered in the room. The vast land, the turbulent sea, the ever-changing monsters, and the stormy sky began to unfold around Catherine.
Bestow a priest with the power to perform divine magic, and such a majestic vision will appear. A small part of the reason is the little trick played by the young people to strengthen the faith of the poor number of believers on earth.
But the bigger reason is that it transcends the barriers of the world and gives believers the power to cast spells, and it is impossible to rely on the faith power of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' from time to time, and can only rely on the faith contributed by the few hundred believers on the earth and Zhang Lisheng's own divine power.
And in the perilous world, young people don't want to divide too much of their own strength and give it to believers. And he was already planning to leave Earth for the 'Noahic Realm'. Therefore, after thinking about it repeatedly, it was decided not to be rigid and give Catherine a amount of mana according to the priest level of the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm'. Instead, without using her own divine power, she gave her the strongest divine skill she could give.
Originally, the amount of faith power provided by a hundred believers would not be able to create too powerful priests even if Zhang Lisheng did not deter him, but it was unexpected. When he gave Catherine the power to cast mana, he suddenly found that the power of faith he could wield was more than ten million times more than expected, so that the deliberately created vision was also magnified a lot.
"This, how is this possible, obviously I haven't torn the void, why can I use the power of faith accumulated in the Oasis Continent..."Under the shocked and awe-inspiring gaze of the believers in the room, Zhang Lisheng forcibly suppressed his surprise and soon noticed that the extra amount of faith power actually came from the 'Leather World Realm' tied around his waist.
The moment the young man's eyes fell on the Leather World, his mind flashed, and he remembered the legend that those ancient gods who did not rely on the worship of believers and were born to be otherworldly, and their strength in any 'Worldly World' would not be weakened.
Suddenly, Zhang Lisheng realized that he had inherited the inheritance of the three ancient gods, and that he was very different from the kingdom of God that ordinary gods could only accept the souls of dead devout believers, and he barely gathered the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire to form a complete natural space, and how different it was to accommodate the survival of ordinary creatures with tenacious lives.
"Maybe it's not a 'kingdom of God' at all, but really a 'world realm' like its name.
A 'World Realm' that came out of nothing, conceived by me, and can act as a 'transit station' to integrate all my beliefs..."Zhang Lisheng unwrapped the leather world and unfolded it, looking at the more and more lifelike miniature map patterns on the scales, he could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and roared in a low voice.
The unconsciously unfathomable voice was terrifying, causing all the Wuli believers around to fall to their knees except for Catherine, who had just received the priest's ability to cast spells and was still in a deep confusion.
When you don't absorb the power of faith, the 'Leather World Realm' is actually like a strange leather painting, without any abnormality, and it is impossible to attract Zhang Lisheng, who has experienced many great sorrows and joys in the Dao, for too long.
Soon the young man came to his senses, rolled it up again, and tied it around his waist, and at the same time Catherine came to her senses.
After glancing at the girl whose expression was still in a trance, Zhang Lisheng smiled and said: "Congratulations to you Catherine, who has become a priest under Wu Lijun, and has changed from a mortal to a 'superhero' who has mastered supernatural powers." ”
"I, I can feel a strong force flowing through my body, but, but this is too incredible, Lord God's Messenger, this, this is impossible, no, not scientific..."Catherine's eyes widened and she blurted out.
Due to the fact that the Leather World Realm accidentally acted as a transit station for the belief power of the Wu Li Gods in the Otherworldly Realm, the girl obtained the sixth level, that is, the highest Wu Li Priest's spell-casting ability, and there were only a dozen or so of the millions of priests on the Oasis Continent of the Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Continent.
At this moment, she was able to manipulate the power of water, earth, wind, and twisted evolution with great ease;
And it can mix the power of water and soil, and the casting strength is enough to influence a war of 10,000 people;
The full use of magic to produce fatty protein is enough to fill the stomachs of hundreds of thousands of people, but unfortunately because of the lack of true consciousness, it still looks as weak as an ordinary girl.
This is because, although Catherine had witnessed the explosion of many supernatural powers after the earth was at war, and had imagined that one day the gods would bestow this power on her;
Although she used to be a devout Christian, in fact, her systematic science education from childhood to adulthood made her subconsciously reject the gods of chaos, and instinctively disapproved of the superhuman abilities she had acquired.
"Unscientific..."Seeing the hesitation in the girl's eyes, Zhang Lisheng pondered for a moment, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Catherine, do you know that Newton was also a devout religious believer?"
Isaac Newton was the most famous and great physicist in England or the world in the seventeenth century, the definer of gravity and the three laws of motion, the founder of modern engineering, the discoverer of calculus, and so on.
Hearing the young man mention this scientific giant that everyone knows and knows, the girl was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Since a great scientist like him also believes in gods, how is this possible. ”
"I've told you an interesting story, Catherine," said the young man, whose soft expression remained unchanged, "and there were many people who had the same doubts as you during Newton's lifetime.
In particular, his scientist friends, who advocate science and spurn theology, feel that the religion of a great physics giant like Newton is a stain that cannot be ignored for the entire 'academic community', so they have always wanted to make him wake up.
One day, one of Sir Newton's best friends, the astronomer Dudley, had the inspiration to create an ingenious model of the universe.
He was so satisfied with this masterpiece of his life that he couldn't help but bring it to show off when he attended a dinner party.
All the guests at the dinner were amazed by this wonderful model, even Newton, and Dudley persuaded Newton in the presence of everyone: 'Isaac, my dear friend, look, how vast is this vast universe, and the earth is only a small point in it.
Stop being superstitious about gods, you are a great scientist and you should know that only science can solve the mysteries of the universe, don't you?', and guess what Newton answered?"
"I don't know. The girl shook her head intently.
"Newton pointed to the model and said, 'Dear Isaac, of course I know that for mankind only science can explain the mysteries of the universe.
But even if this delicate model was made by you, could it be that the universe above our heads, which is made up of billions of stars that pull and act on each other and follow an infinite number of complex orbits, was formed naturally?'..."
When Catherine heard this answer, she was shocked and fell into deep thought and was speechless for a long time.
Zhang Lisheng continued in a demagogic voice on the side: "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
Catherine, can you find a thousand reasons to believe in God, and you can find a thousand reasons not to believe, and the so-called piety is actually to throw away all external interference, and ask your heart, are you willing to be truly protected by God forever, and give your faith for it?"
Catherine looked down and was silent for a few minutes, and finally spoke slowly, "Yes." When the words landed, the young man felt that her faith in herself had become unblemished and incomparably pure. (To be continued......)
