Divinity.
A very powerful force!
Gods had three core parts: divinity, divinity, and priesthood.
Divinity could be understood as the [Divine Bloodline]. The body of a god was in the form of energy, not the flesh and blood of a mortal. Therefore, a god would not have any fatal injuries, which meant that they were immune to any fatal attacks. Even if they fell into the range and turned into saints, they would still be in a semi-energy state. Gods would not die immediately when their hearts were pierced. Even without a heart, they could continue to survive. Therefore, many divine creatures were immune to backstab. (Immune to fatal damage, but some parts of the attack would have a heavy hit effect, and the damage would increase a lot.)
Divinity was an extremely powerful bloodline power.
It could be given to believers by gods, and it could also be left in the bodies of their descendants. The level of divinity was the same as divinity.
It could be classified into [Minor Divinity], [Minor Divinity], [Intermediate Divinity], and [Great Divinity].
A grade of divinity could increase all attributes by 1!
It was equivalent to the average attribute points brought by 12 profession levels, and at the same time, it could reduce any damage by 10%. The power of divinity could offset any physical and magical damage, and it could also be stacked with the damage reduction caused by the level of divinity. The power of the law would be integrated into the body of divinity. Gods with great divine power could offset about 90% of any damage under normal circumstances.
Except for the Demigod-lich, who could barely rely on the body of the undead to achieve about 90-95% of physical damage reduction, no other creature could be compared with the gods with great divine power.
The additional ability of the demon bloodline was an extremely weakened divine bloodline.
There were many powerful demons in the abyss with divinity, and the level of divinity was quite high. Therefore, even if they were not demons, they were not afraid of powerful gods.
Of course, the additional ability of divinity was not limited to these. Søren only knew the most basic additional ability.
According to the difference in divinity, there would be additional spell-like abilities, supernatural abilities, the power of the plane law, and so on. There were many creatures with strong divinity but no divinity or priesthood, such as elemental djinn, high-level demons, hundred-armed giants, abominations, and so on. These divine creatures had divinity but no divinity, let alone priesthood.
However, they weren't any weaker than many deities!
…
The Son of Fear definitely did not have a clergy.
Priesthood was built on the basis of divinity. The divinity of the Dread Lord was still in the Abyss, still in his soul. He distributed his own divinity and divine power. These divine powers were like a barrel of refined gasoline. Once it was used up, it was basically gone. The existence of the Divine Persona continued to supply them with divine power, so their divine power was endless. If he cut off the supply of divine power, the divine power of all the Sons of Fear would drop rapidly.
Elven Rangers had Divine Power and Divinity, but they had no Divine Personality or Divine Title.
When Søren killed him, his divine power was transferred to Vivian. Logically speaking, his divinity should have been transferred to Vivian as well.
However, divinity was a type of soul-like energy. When gods killed each other, they would also deprive each other of their divinity!
That was why Søren had absorbed the Divinity into his body.
Although divinity could bring great power, it also contained the will of the Dread Lord. It could be simply understood as a kind of soul fragment that turned into divinity energy.
Divine power gathered in a Son of Fear.
Divinity also gathered in a Son of Fear.
The soul fragment of the Dread Lord merged in the Son of Fear's body and became a new Soul Imprint of the Dread Lord. His will would also be transferred to the Son of Fear who had merged with a large amount of divinity. Finally, he would directly destroy the other party's soul and take back all his divine power to resurrect!
This was a battle of wills!
It was also the most difficult battle of wills in history. After many gods defeated their opponents, their own wills were affected by other people's divinity.
In the process of merging divinity, there was an extremely difficult test of will!
If your will was higher than your opponent's, the power of divinity would completely transform into your own power. If your will was lower than your opponent's, then the opponent's residual will would affect your consciousness and may even occupy your consciousness to resurrect. There were many eccentric gods. These guys' extreme personalities were the key to being influenced by divinity.
The residual divinity retained the core of the original god's will. For example, the power of the Divinity of Lust. The gods who had mastered the Divinity of Lust in the past were all temperamental and keen on all kinds of enjoyment. They liked to do things that were incomprehensible. These gods fell one after another, but the personalities of their avatars were all the same. The reason was that they were affected by the residual divinity.
The most extreme divinity was stacked layer by layer. The more gods they had, the more extreme emotions and preferences they would have.
That was why there were so many crazy gods!
Merging divinity was a battle of wills. If Søren could suppress the will of the Dread Lord, then he would be able to transform the power of the divinity.
If he failed, his consciousness would be closer to the devil, and he might even be controlled by him!
It was dangerous.
It was also very tempting!
The path for mortals to become gods was destined to be full of thorns. If they wanted to walk on this path, they would not be able to reach the end without great determination and perseverance.
Many legendary wizards did not dare to become gods because they could not suppress the will of the divinity.
They were afraid that their personality would change drastically, and they were afraid that they would magnify certain emotions to the extreme. They were even more afraid that they would gradually lose themselves. This was very fatal for wizards!
They already had a long lifespan and great power. Why would they gamble everything to become gods?
Stepping into the realm of the gods was equivalent to entering the battlefield of the gods!
Ten years ago, ten years later, your personality was constantly changing, and your behavior was also gradually changing. It was because of change that everything was endless.
From naive and childish to mature and steady, from frivolous behavior to sophisticated handling of affairs.
The biggest danger of divinity was not the change, but whether you could hold on to your "self" in the battle of wills and not let your true soul lose its direction.
If you lost your way in the battle of power, even gods would become crazy!
There were many gods like this, especially those who became gods because of luck. In the end, all of them had strange personalities. That was why many legendary wizards were afraid. In history, the number of people who became gods as wizards could be counted on one hand.

Søren's current state was not suitable for absorbing divinity.
Although he was confident in his own will, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could completely suppress the Dread Lord!
However.
If he succeeded in suppressing these three points of divinity, then the Dread Lord's will would completely disappear. In other words, a part of the soul imprint that he transferred to the Deity's body would completely disappear. No matter which Deity he planned to resurrect in the future, the final battle of wills would weaken a lot because a part of his soul was completely swallowed by Søren.
The divine power was in Vivian's body, and the divinity was in Søren's body.
Although Vivian's power was weakened, part of the test of will was transferred to Søren!
According to the normal process.
The stronger the divine power of the Deity of Fear, the more divinity there would be in the body, and the easier it would be to be affected. But now, the result was that the divine power in Vivian's body had doubled, but the divinity was still the same.
Søren felt that he seemed to have found a way to fight against the Dread Lord.
If all the divine power was transferred to Vivian's body, and all the divinity was suppressed by him, then the plan to resurrect the Dread Lord would fail by half.
Vivian had strong divine power, but she was not affected by the divinity.
The final result was a balance. If the Dread Lord was more important, then the Divinity of Fear would be transferred to him. If Vivian was more important, then the Divinity of Fear would be transferred to her, because the Dread Lord's own divinity had disappeared and scattered.
It was as if Soran had cleared up his thoughts and cleared up his mind.
His expression was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was very strong. Because he found a way to fight against the Dread Lord as a mortal.
That was, he would kill the other surviving Deities of Fear!!!
Killing.
This was what Søren was best at.
Killing for Vivian was the most normal thing to do.
Just like when the little girl would raise her little head and say without hesitation, "If you kill people, I'll set the fire for you." Soran also did not hesitate to kill those Sons of Fear for Vivian.
A night passed just like that.
When dawn broke, Søren took out a long sword and began to practice the White Raven Sword Art. Combat skills were honed by oneself bit by bit. If he wanted to master such a high-level combat skill, he still needed to put in a lot of effort. Talents could enhance the speed of mastering combat skills, but it could not directly let you obtain the combat skills.
Rogues were not impulsive people.
Søren was not a reckless idiot. He needed more planning and more strength.
An hour later.
He finished practicing the White Raven Sword Art. His slow movements looked a little awkward, and there was no handsome look to it. It was as if one movement was split into dozens of movements. It looked very stiff, and there was no smooth and handsome look at all. The White Raven Sword Art was second only to the Cross Sword Art. It was cool, arrogant, and sharp. It could only be said that Søren really put in a lot of effort in practicing it.
Because he learned the military version of the White Raven Sword Art.
The owner of the inn got up and watched for a while. Then she boiled a basin of hot water and brought it to him.
Søren thanked her and washed his body.
His muscles looked like they were made of steel. She could not help but take a second look at him. There were many people in this era who had a strong body. Their muscles were much more exaggerated than Søren's, but there were very few people who were as well-proportioned and strong as him. Especially the small muscles on his body. Although the owner of the inn did not know much about them, she knew that only powerful adventurers had them.
This represented a kind of explosive power, and a strong sense of balance!
Rogues rarely had large muscles. They looked thin, but when they took off their clothes, you would find that their whole body was obviously filled with small muscles. Their combat skills were based on their sense of balance. When they moved, they did not only have large muscles on their chest, arms, and legs.
The more they pursued balance, the more obvious their small muscles would be. The more they pursued strength, the more exaggerated their large muscles would be. The typical example of this was the Barbarians. Their large muscles on their arms were as thick as a human's leg. This represented the main focus of their strength training.
The latter could be seen at a glance, but the former could only be seen in battle!
Søren simply washed up, ate something, and went to the blacksmith's shop. He wanted to see the progress of the curved sword. A good weapon was more important than other rare equipment.
Killing.
Mainly relying on the sword.
