Annan became serious and watched the content of this nightmare attentively.
Many of the events in this otherworldly nightmare did not occur in the Mist Realm at all. This nightmare itself could not possibly spare her... then it would at least be fair to everyone.
Let the rational wise man become blind and the emotional poet feel ruthless.
According to this rule.
Annan should also be able to judge what Ingrid fears and hates most by watching the events she encounters. Then he can profile her as a whole and judge her essence.
The situation before her was not in Ingrid's original plan.
She was obviously worried about her loss of limbs.
To be precise, it was because she lost her curse bearer and therefore lost her extraordinary abilities. Because of this, she fell into the passive situation she is in today.
Whether she is blindfolded, or has her limbs chopped off. Not to mention being tied up in a coffin... As long as she can get her sealed artifact back, she can turn the tables in an instant.
Therefore, Ingrid did not choose to intimidate or deceive at the first opportunity.
She cleverly hid her true purpose.
As if she really was such a benevolent and charitable goddess, she gave a gentle attitude to everyone's inquiries.
People in this world don’t know what a curse is or what a sealed object is. They chopped off Ingrid’s limbs precisely because there were wise men among these foolish primitive people. Before Ingrid woke up, they
I was charmed by the aura in her body.
It is this "complete beauty" that is feared.
They only regard Ingrid as a god.
In order to "make the god incomplete" and to "keep the god in their village", they removed the god's limbs and blindfolded the god's eyes. They used a heavy sarcophagus to make it difficult for the voice to come out.
Let the young people in the clan not see the true appearance of the gods.
In this way, God is separated from them.
They take it for granted that since they are gods, as long as they are gods, they will definitely not die for such reasons.
Because that is the absolute perfection.
Even the limbs removed by them never rotted and dried up after being separated from the body. Instead, they were as white as white jade. While maintaining the temperature, the skin was still elastic.
Of course... they did guess it right.
The body of a gold-level extraordinary person will not die easily due to this reason.
There are also strange laws in this world...so much so that even in this situation, Ingrid's vitality was not lost.
The natives who locked her up respectfully prayed to "their gods" for the wisdom of life.
How to treat wounds, how to treat patients, how to tame animals, what happens after death, how babies are born...
And Ingrid answered all questions.
The answer is not spoken with your mouth.
Instead, the answer is sent directly to the hearts of others.
People didn't think there was anything unusual about this.
They naturally regard Ingrid as a god. Then these things are what she should be able to do.
She is like a totem pole and has become the belief of these indigenous people.
Until someone began to pray to her for a miracle.
"Please heal my father, my God..."
This is a prayer from a twelve or thirteen year old girl.
Her father was injured by an enemy called the "Dream Beast" and was seriously injured. Ingrid responded like a loving mother: "Go back and take a look. His injury should be healed soon."
As a golden-level idol wizard, Ingrid's existence can be said to be something special.
When she is really enshrined by people and "made" into a god, she can indeed respond with appropriate miracles like a real god.
In fact, even the natives did not expect that their "goddess" could actually do such a thing. In other words, they never thought at the beginning that they could pray to the gods for "things other than answers."
And as Ingrid caused the miracle, the greed and dissatisfaction in people's hearts began to be gradually awakened.
"Please give me courage. I am going to fight those dream demons next."
"I give you courage, young man. You will be invincible."
"I'm going to the front line, goddess. Please bless me for my safe return... I still have my old father to take care of."
"You can come back alive."
Ingrid always had a motherly and gentle voice.
But unlike previous treatments she didn't actually do anything.
One of the basic skills of the idol wizard is to determine "which wishes can be fulfilled without extraordinary power." As long as they are affirmed by the gods, they have actually gained courage and luck.
Granting courage and luck are not complicated spells. The latter can be used by bronze-level idol wizards, while the former can be used even before being a transcendent.
But even with this level of spell... there is no need to release it at all.
To become like a god without using magic as much as possible is what the idol wizards pursue.
Because one of the meanings of "idol" is the sustenance of the soul. When they think that they have been blessed, they naturally have "courage" and "lucky".
Have they really gained courage and luck?
Not really.
Because they don't need courage and luck so much, they just lack self-confidence.
To take a step back...even if they died on the battlefield because they did not have courage and luck, they would have been unable to speak at that time; and even if they had received Ingrid's blessing, it was entirely possible that they would die.
So Ingrid didn't give them any blessing.
However
The almighty name of the "goddess" is becoming more and more known to people. It has even been publicized.
Ingrid originally planned to endure it like this.
She stayed up for several months, waiting for people to relax their vigilance, and then she tried to seduce a young man to take back those sealed objects for her.
But at this time, another group of forces came to the village. They robbed the entire village and planned to take the goddess "who can grant any wish" as their own.
Although it goes against Ingrid's plan, this is obviously an opportunity.
Ingrid claimed in the sarcophagus that it was precisely because those people were disrespectful to her and damaged her perfection that she would suffer misfortune. If they could return her "defects" scattered everywhere, she would give them a gift for each piece they returned.
She wants to fulfill three times the dream for them. If she can collect all the pieces, she can give them the power of the King of Kings.
But what she didn't expect was...
The level of civilization of this group of people seems to be far higher than that of the previous wave. They easily saw through the lies Ingrid used to seduce those primitive people, and put stronger shackles on her.
And just when they put the seal on Ingrid.
Because they saw Ingrid's true form and fell in love with her at that moment.
One of them immediately took action and killed the others. He decided to take Ingrid as his own.
And Ingrid also secretly enjoys using "love" to control a person. She couldn't be more proficient in this technique.
But there was something she didn't expect.
This last remaining person is actually a "devil king" with infinite greed.
He resisted Ingrid's charm...or, in other words, resisted, but did not resist completely. He was able to rely on his own willpower to resist Ingrid's orders to him.
His extreme greed has distorted this already twisted love.
If we use the words of Mist Realm, it is the power of greed at the "element level". Ingrid's desire is completely unable to defeat his desire.
This future overlord is extremely eager to turn Ingrid and this miraculous power into his own.
"If you really have the power to make wishes, then your daughter and I should also have it."
Faced with Ingrid's plea mixed with deception, he refused without hesitation: "They must have some meaning in cutting off your limbs. I will never lift your seal...I am more powerful than you."
Willing to trust my child."
Because all the believers were slaughtered, Ingrid's miraculous power based on the "Idol School" was also eliminated.
So the devil took possession of Ingrid, who was unable to resist, in the coffin and tried to have a child with her.
Before that, he sealed the entire temple. He even sealed every part of Ingrid's body... and put the "key" of the seal inside the seal in front of her eyes.
In other words, this is a seal that can never be lifted.
The intention was to make her completely despair.
In fact, Ingrid's limbs are meaningless. But Ingrid's sealed artifact was also sealed in. The only elemental power she can use, the element of "love", can also be completely used by this man.
Immunity. Or rather, it will have the opposite effect.
Finally, even Ingrid couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The power called [Despair] slowly but surely seized her heart.
