Broad World

A saint, also known as a god possessed, is essentially a god who only occupies a mortal body and inherits all of its memories, occupations, and other spell-like abilities. It can be said that this is equivalent to a clone of a god, and its power depends on the level of godhead and the amount of divine power poured into it. Among them, the powerful ones are comparable to the incarnations of gods, and the weak ones are almost like elite professionals.

During the turbulent years, almost all the gods were knocked down by the god Aiou, and they walked on the main plane as saints. During this period, countless gods fell in the battle, some of them died by killing each other, and some were killed by ambitious mortals. It was in this chaotic era that the people living in Faerun finally understood the nature of the gods, and found that the original high gods 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 have gotten used to it. After all, there are so many ways to kill gods, such as powerful magic, artifacts, using the power of demons or devils, ancient monsters, gods, etc., there are too many to count.

I have to say that it is really hard work for Feren to be a god. There is an upper god on the head, and the hell devil and the abyss devil are on the bottom. When sandwiched in the middle, there is an eternal battle with other gods. If you think that's the end of it, you're dead wrong. As a god, you have to work hard to develop believers and expand your influence. Otherwise, once your beliefs fail to meet the minimum standards, you will be dragged to the cemetery of the gods by the power of the rules to lie dead.

In addition, be careful of all kinds of horrible monsters left over from the ancient times buried in the corners of the universe. Each of them has enough power to kill gods, and many powerful gods have to be chased all over the street when they encounter them. Finally, there is sin. Just look at the name. It is the sin of the gods themselves.

They are a mistake. A product of undeserved and unforeseen divine power. Aborted souls, abominations live on, feeding on their near-divine power and sheer hatred of their ancestors and all that is produced by nature. Most of these horrible guys are sealed in small demiplanes, full of hatred and anger towards the true god. Although one or two abominations are not enough to pose a threat to a god, but if the number reaches a certain level, it can even enter the Kingdom of God and completely kill a powerful god.

These are the dangers that the gods of Faerun have to face. Of course, there is one more important thing that has not been mentioned. That's ambitious mortals. Ever since Henry discovered the weakness of the god in front of him, a god-killing idea suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he couldn't hold it anymore like a volcanic eruption.

He knew very well that even a god who was about to die was not so easy to deal with, the best way was to use the divine weapon guarded by the other party. As long as the two halves of the artifact can be combined into one, its power will definitely be enough to severely injure a dying god. At that time, I will add a legendary magic, and I can directly send this god to the astral world to lie dead.

You must know that killing a god is a very risky thing, and if you are not careful, you may be doomed. The reason why Henry dared to have such evil thoughts was mainly because he saw that this god had completely lost all his followers. This also means that no one will remember his name and deeds, and once he dies, he will never have the chance to be resurrected.

The saint obviously did not see such sinister intentions. Instead, he took out the guarded half of the artifact and exhorted: "Remember, if you combine the two halves of the artifact, you must use it as soon as possible, otherwise the powerful force inside will corrode the soul. My blessing can only protect you for a short time. And you must never bring the artifact to the ground. In addition, when you go out later, you must tell my believers that it is my idea to take this artifact, and they must regain their faith, even if it is only for a moment. "

"Understood, but I can't guarantee anything. Because what we have to deal with is a large group of terrifying beholders. If we are not careful, we may die." Henry took half of the artifact while speaking. He has already made up his mind to kill the god in front of him, so he will not make any promises at all.

This is a round scepter about one foot long, about as thick as three fingers, with intricate and strange patterns engraved on it, and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of. Obviously, this substance may not come from the main plane, and of course, it may have been exhausted. Although it is only half of it, you can still feel the surging power inside.

"It doesn't matter, this is the last resort, as long as you do what I say, you will get a generous revenge no matter whether you succeed or not. Go, I can't hold on for long." Said the divinity exuding from his body The light began to flicker, and it seemed that it might go out at any moment.

Henry nodded slightly, put the artifact away carefully, turned around with everyone and left the temple. As soon as he walked out of the gate, the guardian in black robe immediately came up to him and asked in an indifferent tone: "The tour is over? How is it? Did you find that artifact?"

"Of course, look, this is the half of the artifact." After speaking, Henry opened his pocket for the other party to take a look at.

"Impossible! How could God let someone take the artifact away! It has been kept there for thousands of years!" the guardian yelled out loudly.

Henry smiled noncommittally and said: "But it's here now. If you want to stop me, then please do it, we can accompany you at any time."

The guard shook his head. "I don't want to try. You have proved how weak our god is, and nothing will change. No matter what we want to protect, we still have to be trapped here. Go, you have nothing to do here."

"It's a very wise choice. In return, I will come back and give you the peace of death after I get what I want." After speaking, Henry ignored the guardian and left the lifeless place without looking back. small town. He will not arouse the faith of these people, and doing so will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of killing the gods.

On the way back, Kaidong asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't you follow the words of that saint?"

The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly and he asked back: "Why do we do what he said? We don't know his god's name, priesthood, teachings at all, and we can't confirm whether this is a terrible evil god. In my opinion, the only way to do it Only by weakening it to the extreme can we ensure that the mission will not go wrong."

"Maybe what you said makes sense, but we can't let a god fall for no reason just because of speculation."

As a paladin, Kaidong obviously could not agree with this approach of killing danger in the bud. Seri Love, who was following behind, hurriedly nodded, expressing her agreement with this point of view.

"You don't understand that the death of this god is doomed. He has lost all sources of belief, and those half-dead people are not enough to maintain the basic needs of a god." Henry explained patiently.

He knew very well that the two paladins would turn their faces without hesitation when they knew their purpose. The fewer people who know about things like killing gods, the better, so he plans to act alone, so as to ensure that the secrets will never be leaked. You must know that even the weakest god possesses wealth that cannot be compared with ordinary people. No matter what the priesthood, divinity, divine blood, and divine body are all priceless treasures, they are enough to attract countless greedy eyes.

Aimeng asked a little puzzled: "Since this god is going to die, why weaken his power?"

"Only in this way can we ensure that this god has no power to interfere with the artifact. After all, we cannot be sure what will happen after the merger. If it is an extremely evil weapon, then it must be guaranteed that it will not be controlled by the original owner. Do you think Think about it, would a kind God only let his believers suffer like that?"

Henry admired himself a little, that he could put so many shit bowls on the head of a god. Looking at the reactions of these teammates, they were obviously fooled. And most importantly, most of these words are just speculation, and none of them are lies. This also means that as long as he wants to, he can play around with most people at any time.

Kaidong thought about it for a long time, finally nodded slightly and said: "Yes, we do need to consider this unexpected situation. But if this artifact is not evil, then it must be returned after the task is completed."

"Of course! I swear!" Henry replied affirmatively. At the same time, he mentally added: "Give it back and then grab it back. This is not a breach of the oath."

You must know that it is not so easy to meet a dying god, especially when the other's saint appears on the main plane. If you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will be condemned by God. As long as you can kill a saint, you can get divinity, divine blood, and if you are lucky, you may even have a little priesthood. No matter which one is rare treasure.

It can be said that there may not be a weaker god in this world, and even a demigod is much more difficult to deal with than him. Although Henry is not interested in becoming a god, this does not mean that he does not want to understand the nature of gods. Now a living god that can be used for research appeared in front of his eyes, and the (desire) in his body was completely ablaze.

To dissect a living god, maybe in this world, there will never be another person who can get such an opportunity. Those great arcanists left over from the Netheril era probably never did such crazy things. But Henry was different from them. As a soul from the earth, his curiosity and courage were much greater.

In order to have the power to fight the gods head-on in the future, he didn't care about dissecting one or two gods. Of course, the premise is that it must be secret enough, otherwise, once other gods find out, they 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 serious blasphemy, and it directly touches the fundamental interests of the gods. They will never tolerate a mortal living after doing such a thing.
