Chapter 458: The Temptation of Killing God

The Sage, also known as the Celestial Possession, is essentially a god who occupies only a mortal body and inherits all of its memories, professions, and other magical abilities. It can be said that this is equivalent to a doppelganger of a god, and its power depends on the level of the godhead and the amount of divine power poured into it. Among them, the powerful ones are comparable to the incarnations of the gods, and the weak ones are similar to the elite professionals.

In the turbulent year, almost all the gods were knocked down to the mortal realm by the god Io, and walked on the main plane as saints. During this time, countless gods fell only in battle, either by killing each other or by ambitious mortals. It was during this chaotic era that the people living in the continent of Faeron finally understood the nature of the gods, and discovered that the original gods that were high up could also be killed and replaced.

It can be said that killing gods is not too uncommon in this world, and even the gods themselves are already a little used to it. After all, there are so many ways to kill gods, such as powerful magic, artifacts, with the help of demons or the power of demons, ancient monsters, gods, etc., and there are too many to count.

I have to say that it is really a very hard thing for Faren to be a god. There is a god on his head, and the devil of hell and the demon of the abyss are on top of him, and when he is caught in the middle, he has to fight with other gods for eternity. If you think that's the end of it, you're very wrong. As a god, you must also work hard to develop believers and expand your influence, otherwise once your faith does not meet the minimum standards, you will immediately be pulled to the graveyard of the gods by the power of rules to lie down.

On top of that, watch out for all kinds of terrifying monsters left over from ancient times buried in the corners of the universe. Each of them has enough power to kill the gods, and many of them have to be chased all over the streets when they encounter them. Finally, there is the iniquity. Just look at the name. It is the sins of the gods themselves.

They are a mistake. It is the product of undeserved and unforeseen divine power. As premature souls, the gods continue to live, sucking from their near-divine power and pure hatred for their ancestors and the products of a qiē nature. Most of these horrible creatures are sealed away in small half-planes, full of hatred and anger against the true God. Although one or two gods are not enough to pose a threat to the gods, if the number reaches a certain level, they can even enter the kingdom of the gods and completely kill a powerful god.

These are the dangers that the gods of Faeron will face, and of course, there is one most important thing that is not said. That's the ambitious mortal. Since Henry discovered the weakness of the god in front of him, a god-killing thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and then like a volcanic eruption, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He knew very well that even a god who was about to die was not so easy to deal with, and the best way was to use the artifact that the other party was guarding. As long as the two halves of the artifact can be combined into one, its power will definitely be enough to severely damage a dying god, and when the time comes, he will be making up a legendary magic, and he can directly send this god to the astral realm to lie down.

You must know that killing a god is a very risky thing, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a catastrophe. The reason why Henry dared to have such evil thoughts was mainly because he saw that the god had completely lost all his followers. This means that no one will ever remember his name and deeds, and once he dies, there will never be a chance of resurrection.

The Sage clearly did not see this sinister intention. Instead, he took out the half-section of the artifact he was guarding and admonished: "Remember, if you combine the two half-artifacts into one, you must use them as much as possible, otherwise the powerful power inside will corrode the soul." My blessing will only protect you for a short time, and you will never be able to bring the artifact to the ground. Also, when you go out later, tell my followers that it was my idea to take this artifact, and that they must regain their faith, even if only for a moment. ”

"Got it, but I can't promise anything. Because we're dealing with a horde of terrible Eye Demons, the slightest mistake could cost us our lives. Henry said as he took half of the artifact. He had already made up his mind to kill the god in front of him, so he wouldn't make any promises at all.

It was a circular scepter about a foot long, about the thickness of three fingers, with intricate and bizarre patterns carved on it, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. Obviously, it is likely that this substance did not come from the main plane, and of course, it is also possible that it has been depleted. Although it is only half of it, you can still feel the surging power inside.

"It's okay, this is the last resort, you just have to do what I say, and you can get a good revenge whether you succeed or not. Go for it, I can't hold out for long. As he spoke, the divine radiance emanating from his body began to flicker, and it looked like it might be extinguished at any moment.

Henry nodded slightly, carefully placed the artifact, and turned around with everyone and left the temple. As soon as he walked out of the gate, the black-robed guardian immediately greeted him and asked in an indifferent tone, "Are you done visiting?" How, did you find the artifact? ”

"Of course, look, this is the half of the artifact." After saying that, Henry opened his fanny pack and let the other party take a look.

"Impossible! How could God have someone take the artifact away! It has been there for thousands of years! The Guardian cried out out out of disarray.

Henry smiled noncommittally and said, "But it's here now." If you want to stop me, do it, we're always available. ”

The guardian shook his head. "I don't want to try, you have proved how weak our god really is, and he will not change for a moment. Whatever we have to protect, we're still stuck here. Let's go, there's nothing to do with you here. ”

"A very wise choice, and in return, I will come back to grant you the peace of death after I get what I want." After saying that, Henry ignored the guard, and left the lifeless town without looking back. He would not arouse the faith of these people, and in doing so, he would undoubtedly make it more difficult to kill the gods.

On the way back, Kaidong asked with some puzzlement, "Why don't you do what the sage said?" ”

The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly and asked, "Why do you do what he says?" We don't know his name, priesthood, or teachings, and we can't be sure if it's a terrible deity. In my opinion, only by weakening it to the extreme can the task not go wrong. ”

"You may have a point, but we can't just guess and let a god fall for no reason."

As a paladin, Kaidon obviously couldn't agree with this kind of strangulation of danger in the cradle. Celeph, who was following behind, hurriedly nodded her head in agreement.

"You don't understand that the god's death is already sealed. He lost all sources of faith, and those who were half-dead were simply not enough to sustain the basic needs of a god. Henry patiently explained.

He knew one thing very well, and the two holy warriors knew their purpose, and they would definitely turn their faces without hesitation. The fewer people who know about something like killing gods, the better, so he intends to act alone so that he can guarantee that there will be no leaks. You must know that even the weakest gods possess wealth that is not comparable to mortals, and the priesthood, divinity, divine blood, and divine body are all priceless treasures, enough to attract countless greedy eyes.

Feeling a little puzzled, Aemon asked, "Why do you want to weaken this god when he is going to die?" ”

"Only in this way can we ensure that this god does not have the power to interfere with the artifact. After all, we can't be sure what will happen after the merger, and if it's an extremely evil weapon, then we must make sure that it won't be controlled by its original owner. Think about it, can a good God only make his own believers suffer like that? ”

Henry admired himself a little that he could put so many pots on the head of a god. Looking at the reactions of these teammates, it is clear that they have been fooled. And most importantly, most of these words are just speculation, and none of them are lies. This means that he can play most people around at any time if he wants to.

Kaidong thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we do need to take into account this unexpected situation. But if the artifact isn't evil, then it must be returned after the mission is completed. ”

"Of course! I swear! Henry replied in the affirmative. At the same time, he also mentally added: "If you grab it after returning it, this is not a breach of oath." ”

You must know that a dying god is not so easy to encounter, especially when the other party's Sage appears on the main plane. If you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will be damned, as long as you can kill the saint, you will be able to obtain divinity, divine blood, and if you are lucky, you may even have a trace of divine vocation, no matter which is a rare treasure.

It can be said that there may not be a weaker god in this world, and even the demigods are much more difficult to deal with than him. Although Henry is not interested in becoming a god, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to understand the nature of gods. Now that a living, researchable god appeared in front of him, the desire in him burned completely.

Dissecting a living god, perhaps there will never be a second person in this world who will ever have such a chance. The Grand Arcanists, who had been left over from the days of Nessreel, had probably never done anything so crazy. But Henry, unlike them, was a soul from Earth, and he was much more inquisitive and bold.

In order to have the strength to fight the gods head-on in the future, he doesn't care about dissecting one or two gods. Of course, the premise is to be secretive enough, otherwise once it is known by other gods, it will definitely face the danger of being encircled and suppressed by the joint forces. After all, this kind of behavior is already regarded as a very strict blasphemy, and it directly touches the fundamental interests of the gods, and they will never tolerate a mortal who can still live after doing such a thing.
