Chapter 703: Amanata and the Artifact (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
"You'd better be useful, otherwise, Lao Tzu will definitely melt you into a toilet!" After Solam cleaned the black, smelly stick with a cleansing technique, a short stick similar to the golden stick he had obtained earlier appeared in his hand, and the break flew very kissing.
It doesn't take a second thought to know that this thing and Soram's previous gotten are the same thing, but it's just split into two parts. Soram took two short sticks and muttered to himself, if you waste so much effort to get ordinary things, Soram will definitely not agree!
After taking a deep breath, Solam put the two short sticks together! In an instant, a burst of bright light suddenly flooded the entire cistern chamber! But in this sun-like light, there is an incomparable evil!
The power of evil like no other. It stirs up the negative emotions that lurk in everyone's heart, greed, hatred, (carnal) desire, violence. They swept through my mind like a whirlwind. It almost drove people completely insane. If it appeared on the ground, it would immediately set off a war that would engulf the entire Faeron Continent, and mortals would not be able to resist this temptation at all.
It's a pity that the two people present are not affected by this evil at all, Viorette is forgotten, she is a new construct, and the emotions themselves are imperfect, not to mention negative emotions, she even owes her emotions, where does any negative emotions come from, so this evil can be regarded as a frown to the blind man.
But at the beginning, Solam was swept away by this evil in an instant, and countless evil thoughts surged in his mind in an instant, he wanted to destroy, destroy, all in all, he was in a very bad state at the beginning, if it continued, he would not run out and do some sabotage, but he would definitely fall into self-destruction, because this evil was too terrifying!
That evil not only affected his mind, but even invaded his soul to see that he wanted to plunge his soul into the abyss of destruction, whether it was to destroy himself or others!
It was also at this moment that Solam's soul, the galaxy that flowed through the space of the soul, completely swallowed and consumed this evil in an instant! It was also here that the originally cold light became extremely hot in an instant, even the ground was baked into a lava state in an instant, and the sealing core not far from him, the huge crystal pillar, burst out with brilliant light in an instant to stop this sudden high temperature! At the same time, it is constantly absorbing this huge power and constantly repairing the originally destroyed sealing nodes!
But what's worse is that this force is so strong that the entire crystal pillar is emitting a burst of "zika" sounds, as if it is already overwhelmed. And Violet, who was originally standing next to Solam, was directly pushed away by this heat, and her hair, skin, and clothes began to burn, and in just an instant, a beautiful little girl was burned into a skinned corpse.
Even so, Viorette still faithfully fulfilled her duty to protect the city lord of the Floating City, and worked hard to withstand this force, constantly moving forward to capture Soram and drag him away from this force.
As time passed, both the Crystal Pillar and Violet arrived, and Violet was even scorched to reveal its metal body, and even the metal parts had begun to twist and deform.
It is estimated that it will not be long before this force will completely destroy Viorette and the Crystal Pillar!
Fortunately, this force soon disappeared without a trace! Only Soram's eyes widened, looking at the amorphous liquid gold ball in his hand with a bewildered expression, Soram didn't know much about what happened before, he knew that there was an evil outburst, and what happened after that was directly blocked by his brain. So it's not very clear.
But the most puzzling thing for him now is why one short stick + another short stick is equal to a lump of liquid gold? How does this work? Or are they meant to be in this way? So how did they become batons?
Then a stream of information automatically appeared in his mind.
Amorphous artifact (unnamed):
It was once a powerful scepter, made by the Creator Race, whose exact purpose is unknown, but so destructive that it was cursed by the gods and buried deep underground. It was guarded by the ancient sun god Amanata himself, and tried his best to destroy it, but Amanata was unable to completely destroy it after countless years. In the end, Amanata lost most of his strength and memory over a long period of time.
But he still remembered his duty, in fact, he had forgotten his name, but he still remembered it. After losing most of his priesthood and divine powers, Amanata made a decision to kill himself in order not to let this artifact wander into the world and harm the world! (Well, really, he killed himself)
He wanted to use his godhead, divinity, and priesthood to purify this artifact at the expense, and at the same time usher in his eternal peace, he succeeded, he committed suicide, turned this artifact into two parts, and let its power be completely sealed, he also failed, but he did not destroy it fundamentally!
For this reason, he did not fulfill his duties, so his divinity and priesthood were left on the artifact, and he continued to fight against the evil on the artifact! This also gave the artifact some new abilities.
When the new owner Soram was reorganizing the artifact, he inadvertently made a soul link with the artifact (most of the artifact took the initiative), and at this time, after Soram used the eternity in his soul to completely wipe out the evil in the artifact, the artifact finally changed its form and completely turned into an amorphous mass.
Special Abilities:
Absorb Faith and Grant Divine Magic (This scepter made by the Creator race has god-like abilities.) It can accept the worship of mortals, and then transform it into divine magic and give it to each other, even the gods cannot perceive the mysteries. But it doesn't work on itself)
Divine Power Shock (Faith is stored after being converted into divine power, and the user can release it in one go, dealing damage depending on the amount of stored power.) Note: This attack can directly damage the gods, or even kill them, so be careful when using it, once it is present, it is likely to be surrounded by the gods)
God-killing (this artifact once killed real gods, although it was suicide with this weapon, but it was also god-killing, which also made this artifact unbelievably changed, it can kill and destroy any existence)
The power of the sun (the wielder, i.e. the soul bind, when holding this weapon for the first time, all class level +3, and can be used to use the power of the sun, i.e. three solar shocks per day, which is a scorching light wave with a strong light that can easily melt metal.) )
Divine Flame [When attacking the enemy with this artifact, this artifact will burst out with light and heat like the sun (both damage is strong divine and fire damage), and when the undead are hit, there is a 50% chance of being directly destroyed, note: It is all undead, including the undead in various legends]
Sun Burst (20% chance to unleash a positive energy explosion upon hit, with a power equivalent to "Sun Burst"*5)
***********
Looking at this long list of powerful attributes, Solam was stunned, this artifact is too powerful! Especially the first two attributes, Solam also understood why the gods sealed this thing and wanted to destroy it completely.
Either of these three is enough to pose a great threat to the gods. Needless to say, absorbing faith and bestowing divine magic is completely digging into the corners of the gods, and the impact of divine power is even more terrifying, directly threatening the gods themselves.
And now there is one more, killing gods, which can be seen from the name.
I have to say that the creator race is really terrible. It's possible to make so many things that make people shudder. Whether it's a Nexriel scroll. Or this immensely powerful scepter has great power. Their disappearance remained a mystery, but Soram's instincts told him that it must have something to do with the rise of the gods.
And he now knew another thing, that is, the deity who kept this artifact before was called Amanata, the sun god of the Nethrel era. According to the scriptures, when he was at his strongest, even Shar, the Lady of the Night, and Jeager, the Lord of Death, were inferior. But unfortunately, this god has fallen. But what I didn't expect was that this god actually committed suicide!
Amaunator, one of the most ancient gods of the Faeron god lineage, he is known as the god of golden light, the lord of eternal light, the guardian of the law, and at his peak, he was the most powerful god on the continent, at that time his priesthood included: bureaucracy, contract, law, order, sun, and dominion.
At the height of his influence in the time of Nessreel, the ancient sun god was highly regarded for his loyalty to law and order and his expanding power. As the Age of Nexa drew to a close, Amanata also disappeared, and it was also due to his disappearance that he lost a large number of followers and priesthoods, and eventually Lossanda and other gods accepted most of his priesthood.
It now appears that the reason for his disappearance was for this artifact, and it seems that he accepted the commission of the gods to protect and destroy it. This matter is very likely, after all, Amanata is in the Absolute Order camp, and his duty is to maintain order, and this artifact is the opposite of him, and it makes perfect sense that he will take on this task. The people of the Absolute Order camp are like this, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves to fulfill their duties.
Interestingly, however, neither the deity accepted Amanata's most important priesthood, the sun. Even Losanda had only attained the priesthood of radiance, which was related to the sun, and when he was the god of the dawn, his priesthood was even only the same as the dawn of the sun.
Such a powerful priesthood has not been obtained by any god since the disappearance of Amanata, you know, the sun is the most important part of all life, as long as you master this priesthood, you can completely achieve a god with powerful divine power, and you can even derive more priesthoods according to the sun, such as radiance, life, order, etc. derived from the sun, great divine power is not a dream!
But after so many years, not only are there almost no gods to touch this priesthood, it seems that Amanata accepted the task of the gods at the beginning, and it was not without reward, Soram guessed that it was estimated that the permanent suspension of the solar priesthood was waiting for the day when Amanata really returned.
And now it seems that the priesthood who was left in the artifact was the sun.
