Chapter 414: The Secret of the Gods (Part 1)
"Lord, the power of divine art comes from gods. Those who are abandoned by gods will no longer be able to perform divine arts. This is common sense." Nicholas's words attracted other followers around Salin. Everyone is a person with a strong desire for knowledge. Nicholas's words can be said to be contradictory, so everyone became interested.
Nicholas was obviously abandoned by the gods, but he could still use his magic.
"But the power of the magician is not entirely given by the gods. Gods like the Lord of Light cannot personally descend to the Meers continent, and even clones cannot enter this plane, so they will look for agents to spread their faith. The advantage of agents is that they can intercept the power of faith of some believers and keep it for their own use."
Nicholas said it very plainly, and even the swordsman could understand it.
"This kind of interception of the power of faith is allowed by the gods, and the fallen magician is forcibly stealing the power that originally belonged to the gods as the source of consumption of his own skills."
"Oh!" The magicians exclaimed. Their understanding of divine arts all comes from fighting with divine arts. Few magicians will betray the gods and mix with magicians. Therefore, most of the magicians' understanding of divine arts is how to destroy and fight against them.
When we first heard Nicholas' explanation, we were very surprised that the magician could steal the power that originally belonged to the gods.
Although humans have conquered gods and achieved brilliant results, there is no doubt that the power of the gods themselves is. Believers are the lambs of gods, and magicians are slaves of gods, and these magicians understand it.
"Stealing the power of the gods will face punishment from the gods. As long as the Lord of Light comes, I will die without a burial place, and even my soul will be captured and sent to the purgatory created by the gods, and will suffer forever. Therefore, in order to make the fate better, the fallen magician will do his best to make the gods' faith disappear in the plane they are in."
"Nicholas, so, you have no way out now?" Neris asked with a smile. She knew what Nicholas was trying to do, but she could get benefits from this old man, so she just said a few words for him.
"The Lord of Light is a god who is extremely stingy. I have betrayed me, so I must not look back." Nicholas replied solemnly.
"Stingy? What do you mean?" Nelise asked very well. However, she had many questions about the perfection of the twelve movements of Purgatory. The Lord of Glory likes to simulate the environment of Purgatory to punish enemies, so the magician should also know a lot about Purgatory.
"If the Lord of Light is generous, the magician on the plane of the Meles Continent will grow several times of its lifespan and its strength will be greatly increased. It will never be suppressed by the magician to die like this."
The magicians under Salin let out disapprovingly hums, and Nicholas hurriedly said: "I mean, human power has declined, and the magicians have had the opportunity to gain overwhelming power."
Winged Skeleton asked, "Don't the Lord of Glory want his faith to be widely circulated in the continent of Meers? If his magician is strong enough, the spread of this faith should be faster, which is beneficial to him."
"The gods have a long lifespan and are almost immortal. The Lord of Light is indeed reluctant to give his believers too much power, which will reduce his speed of improvement."
The magicians heard it inexplicably. This behavior of the gods is indeed incredible to the magicians. If they were a magician, they would definitely make another choice, which was to give believers more powerful abilities and speed up the spread of faith.
The choice of the gods is not stingy, but mentally retarded.
"The power of faith that a plane can provide is limited. If it exceeds this limit, the plane will gradually fade, and many semi-planes are produced in this way. After the gods turn it into a barren land, they will give up directly. From then on, no creatures can be produced in the semi-plane, let alone civilization." Nicholas's words surprised the magicians again.
The gods spread their faith, which will actually cause the destruction of the plane!
Salin has been to the God-Punishment Hell and knows what a half-plane looks like. The God-Punishment Hell is not caused by the gods, but a growing half-plane. But if a plane degenerates into that shape, it is really hard to accept.
"The Lord of Glory's approach seems to allow the Meers continent to avoid such a fate." A magician spoke.
"There is no difference. When faith spreads to the entire plane, most people are praying and dedicating their souls, then the ending of this plane is already destined." Nicholas replied faintly.
"Then is the oracle of the Lord of Glory?" Salin and his followers became a little heavy.
"Yes, this is the case with the gods, from one plane to another, constantly eroding. This is why humans conquered the gods. The Meers continent was the main plane, and if it collapsed, there would be almost no possibility of recovery."
"Nicholas, how could you know so much?" Salin was a little suspicious of Nicholas' origin. Although he was a level nine magician, what he said was a core secret of religion. If this secret is spread...
No, even if it is spread, believers will not believe it. Believers are absolutely blindly obedient to the gods. Nicholas is a magician, but not a believer.
Nicholas raised the fallen code in his hand and said, "After I fell, these contents appeared in the code. The Lord of Glory also has enemies, not only humans, but also gods. These gods are also tempting believers of the Lord of Glory and robbing faith. However, in this plane, the Lord of Glory has a relatively powerful belief, and other gods cannot intervene, so they can only wait for the opportunity quietly."
Nicholas couldn't help but sneer and said, "The Lord of Glory said that there are no other gods besides him, they are just lying. After I fell, other gods left divine texts on this code to tempt me to join."
"Then have you joined?" Nelise asked curiously.
The atmosphere that Nicholas finally created was destroyed by Neris. Neris allowed him to interact with the people around him and was accepted, but Nicholas wanted to become a core figure around Salin, which Neris could not tolerate.
The master can only belong to him, this is Neris's most real idea.
Although Nicholas was discouraged, he could not make any accusation against Neris. To be precise, he still needed Neris' help to be accepted by others as a fallen magician.
The magician and the magician are opposing and irreconcilable contradictions. Nicholas's efforts are easily destroyed by Neris.
"I didn't even dare to destroy this fallen code, and I couldn't use it to fight, because in that case, it would be easy to leave clearer coordinates and allow other gods to penetrate this main plane. It would be difficult to deal with a glorious Lord. If there were a few more gods, it would be a huge disaster for the continent of Meles."
"Okay, Nicholas, what kind of equipment do you need? I'll find a way for you." Salin didn't want to continue talking about the issue of the gods. All Nicholas knew was probably the secret of the gods, and it would never be spread at will. Now he was wondering, if Goddess Meles was resurrected, would the continent of Meles collapse?
I have promised the goddess to spread her faith.
What Nicholas said is true, is the origin of a plane going to dry up due to the arrival of the gods?
If Goddess Meles is resurrected, what will happen to the Meles continent? Sarin has only now realized that the divine science he has learned is too shallow.
"I am a Fallen Divine Artist. There are many aggressive Fallen Divine Arts, and there are fewer healing types. Everyone knows that the healing of divine art is faster than magic. The only harm is to consume part of the life of the healed person. But in special times, the healing of divine art is still necessary, so I need a piece of healing equipment."
“Therapeutic equipment…”
"A scepter of fallen power can provide life force, so that the healed will pay a very small price."
Salin understood that he had the left hand of God, which contained powerful life power. The armor he refined for Shika, the longbow Qiye refined for Erinno, and the arrow pouch, all had the materials of the Divine Tree of Life.
Nicholas was very sensitive to divinity. He didn't know what the materials used by Salin, nor could he directly say what he wanted, so he chose a scepter, which looked similar to a magic wand.
What a slippery man! Salin sighed in his heart. But he was willing to give Nicholas the material for a scepter. After all, Nicholas's healing magic is indeed as he said. When fighting, it works too quickly and cannot be compared with magic.
"The soul pearl can be directly embedded on the scepter, so that I can control it more easily during the battle." Nicholas simply raised the request, and he also knew that Salin was always extremely generous to his followers.
"Don't worry, Nicholas, I know what you want." Salin suddenly remembered that he also had two materials, such as the God Sang and the Ghost Oak that Joey gave him, plus the Tree of Life, which happened to create a scepter that was more suitable for Nicholas.
The fact that Salin entered the core temple was not a secret, but only a few people who entered the temple knew about it when signing a contract with the goddess. Salin was a little irritated. If Nicholas' description of the god was true, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping Goddess Meles to destroy her own plane?
If you don’t complete the contract, your soul will be sealed in the divine monument and will never be liberated.
This is really a difficult thing to choose. Salin knew that he was not a noble person, but it was also difficult for Salin to accept that he destroyed a plane and turned the Meers continent into a place like the God-Punishment Hell.
