The cold winter wind was getting more and more piercing.
Even the city of Mordor, which was close to the subtropics, had a plummeting temperature. It was foreseeable that this winter would not be much better than last year, and no one knew how many homeless people could survive this winter. The temple in the central square was holding daily prayers. Perhaps because of the arrival of an unusual aura, the church's requirements for the believers were also much stricter. The large prayer that was originally once a week had changed to once every three days. At the same time, the half-elf craftsmen from Autumnfall began to make a large number of statues.
The temple of the half-elf church was being expanded.
Not only the great temple of Mordor, but even the twelve towns that had just been built were also building temples. Priests had already been sent to these places to preside, which was more of a source of faith for Søren.
The temple of wealth was now somewhat withered.
As trade on the mainland became more and more difficult because of the war, the faith of the Lady of Wealth was also seriously disturbed. Although the trade routes in the Outer Islands were still very active, they were probably down by about 30% compared to the past. Søren faintly felt that the divine power of the Lady of Wealth was decreasing. If there were not enough believers and sources of faith, then the power of the gods would become weaker and weaker. Therefore, the choice of what kind of [Divine Title] was very important.
The Lady of Wealth needed to maintain the power consumption of the priests' prayers. If she did not give the priests divine power, then her church would be seriously hit.
Giving the priests divine power required divine power. Divine power was converted through faith. The heavy damage to trade led to a decrease in faith, and the divine power naturally decreased. The decrease in divine power meant that it would become difficult to maintain the priest's divine power. In order not to form a vicious cycle, the Lady of Wealth could only give her divine power to the priests. This process would gradually lead to the decline of her divine level, and finally, she might fall to the level of [Lesser Divine Power].
The chaos of war affected many Gods.
Not only was the power of the Lady of Wealth declining, but other gods were also constantly decreasing their power. They were even forced to reduce the divine power given to the priests to ensure that their own divine power was enough. But if this was the case, they might be able to support it for a short time. Over time, the priests who served them might switch to other gods, or even directly give up their faith in this god.
Without divine spells, a priest would not even be able to defeat an ordinary warrior!
Søren's Divine Power was getting higher and higher. After more than a month of accumulation, especially after the two incidents in Autumnfall, he had almost completed the control of the entire half-elf race. Therefore, his Divine Power was increasing rapidly. In addition to his own [Rule] domain, he had now reached the standard to advance to [Weak Divine Power].
[Domination] had a very surprising effect!
Therefore, Søren recently discovered that the Divine Power Points provided by [Rule] wasn't only increased because of his wise leadership, but also because of the increase in population.
In the beginning, Søren relied on [Rule] to accumulate about two to three Divine Power points a day.
This was the accumulation of divine power after deducting the divine power given to the priests, which was equivalent to the pure divine power of the gods. Recently, Søren had discovered that when Modor City once again accepted a large number of people from Autumnfall, his daily accumulation of divine power had reached an astonishing 4-5 points, which meant that he could accumulate at least 150 divine power points in a month.
And!
This did not include the large prayer ceremony that was held once a week. Such a large prayer ceremony could provide Søren with more than 10 divine power points at once.
If he chose a more bloody sacrifice (evil gods), then the divine power points obtained could reach more than 15.
The sacrifice was too old and too primitive.
Perhaps the sea goddess would accept the sacrifice and love it, but Søren would not try this kind of backward thing that would even affect the purity of his faith.
Finally.
With only three weeks left before the New Year, Søren reached the point where quantitative change led to qualitative change.
A row of data appeared in front of him:
"The Rogue profession has leveled up to level 8."
"Received 41 (DEX 33 + (INT 26-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 14 (Profession HP 6 + (CON 26-10) * 0.5)."
"You've received a free attribute point."
"You've received a talent point."
…
The huge amount of Slaughter EXP required to level up as a Wizard made Søren unable to do much at the moment. Therefore, he could only level up his Rogue profession to level 6.
Without a doubt, the free attribute points were added to his Dexterity. He was only one point away from 35 points of Dexterity.
As for the talent points, Søren did not even need to think about it. Among the [Legendary Accuracy], [Nine Deaths], [Lightning Speed] and so on, he chose the legendary talent that would give him the biggest boost, [Insight into Weakness]!
"Insight into Weakness [Legendary Talent]: After countless battles and summaries, you have mastered a special ability. This ability allows you to discover any enemy's weakness. This will allow you to maximize your combat power. Relying on the ability of Insight into Weakness, you can launch sneak attacks on enemies that are immune to Backstab. Insight into Weakness can deal additional damage equivalent to the value of Dexterity. "(Requirement: Epic Dexterity, Reflex Evasion, Legendary Battle Skill.)
One of the most powerful talents for melee professions.
For a Legendary melee professions, there were three legendary talents that could completely change their combat power. These three legendary talents were Whirlwind, Insight into Weakness and Perfect Dual-wielding.
Whirlwind was needless to say.
This should be one of the most terrifying legendary melee abilities. Only a few people in the entire material plane could master it.
In addition to this ability, Insight into Weakness could provide a terrifying bonus for Critical Strike and Critical Strike. Perfect Dual-wielding could directly double the speed of a person's attack. In terms of combat power outburst, there were almost no melee legendary talents that could match the three legendary abilities. Now, Søren had mastered two of them.
Perfect Dual-wielding and Insight into Weakness.
…
Modor City, Temple.
Søren's figure appeared in the center of the temple. Accompanied by a divine radiance, his figure directly floated in mid-air. Then, the power of faith that shrouded the temple began to rush into his body frantically. The dazzling light shrouded the temple, and many believers who saw it could not help but kneel on the ground.
His divine power was constantly increasing!
When it reached the critical point of 300 points, suddenly all the divine power began to be consumed. At the same time, Søren's body had some kind of special change.
A row of data appeared in front of him:
"Advanced to [Lesser Divine Power]! … "
"The Saint Form has been upgraded! [Magic Immunity Ring 1 to 4!] … "
"Ability breakthrough! … "
"Automatically mastered [Epic Divine Power]! … "
…
"Epic Divine Power [Legendary Ability]: Consume part of your divine power to add additional divine power damage to any of your physical attacks. The additional damage is equal to two times your own charm bonus."
[Note: The current charm bonus is 5 points, and each attack adds an additional 10 points of divine power damage.]
…
The quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change.
With the improvement of his divine power level, Søren could not only master more powerful divinity abilities, but also increase his spell immunity level to level 4.
[Epic Divine Power] was a legendary ability for priests. It seemed that Søren had also directly mastered it because of the promotion of his divine power level.
At this time.
His attributes were really a bit like a divine power.

…
Currently.
Except for his Wisdom which was only 19 points, all of Søren's other attributes were above 20 points.
Whether it was his basic attributes, abilities, basic skills, or other aspects, Søren had gradually caught up with the local gods.
At his current level of strength, it would be very difficult for him to improve further.
Whether it was a god-level increase in power or a professional level increase in power, the requirements would be much higher.
Under normal circumstances.
Many gods' professions would reach their peak after one more level. Unless it was a powerful being, it would be very difficult to reach level 40.
Lesser Divine Power was a process of qualitative change.
From now on, to calculate Søren's challenge level, there would be an additional label of 'Level 10 God of Half-Elves'. According to the assessment of the adventurers in the previous life, Søren's challenge level should be about 25.
In other words.
Only a team of adventurers who were all high-grade legends would have less than a 50% chance of killing him.
…
Time passed little by little.
Mordor City was enjoying the last tranquility before the arrival of the new year. The battle to attack the third floor of the wizard tower was imminent. Vivian's accumulation was also close to the realm of demigod. The demon incarnation was frantically recruiting the army of cannon fodder. Gloria's research on the floating ring seemed to have a new breakthrough.
At this time.
There was only less than half a month left before the arrival of the new year.
Maybe it was because the new year was approaching, the atmosphere in Mordor city was a little more relaxed. People were leisurely enjoying the tranquility of winter. However, when they heard from the merchants how many people had frozen to death, they couldn't help but sigh.
The tavern was always the most lively place.
During this time, a new kind of liquor had become popular on the south coast. Although the price was a little expensive, it was undoubtedly a great enjoyment to drink in the cold winter weather.
There was a lot of noise in the tavern.
In the corner near the left side, there were a few guys with bad intentions teasing a drunkard. It seemed that they wanted to see the drunkard make a fool of himself for fun.
Such people were common, whether it was drunken drunkards or other guests looking for fun.
The owner of the tavern looked at the group of people in front of him. Because the new year was coming, many fleets did not plan to go out to sea, so during this time, there were sailors, guards, and merchants looking for fun everywhere.
There was a sound of dispute.
The tavern owner wiped the table with a rag. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but suddenly he heard a word that made him alert, and then he listened to the conversation over there.
"Really! … "
The drunkard's eyes were very blurred, and it seemed that his mind was not very clear. He said incoherently in a drunken voice, "Mordor … really … has an angel! … "
"I! … I was at the beach that day … and I saw … a beautiful female angel … "
"So beautiful …"
"That … chest … that butt … it's so beautiful …"
The guests next to him who were purely looking for fun did not take the drunkard's words seriously. One of them smiled and said, "Don't tell me you think a beautiful woman is an angel when you see her? … Haha! … Look at how drunk you are all day, you probably think someone's wife is an angel! … "
The drunkard's face turned red when he heard that, and he panted heavily, "Impossible …"
"It's really an angel! … I saw it very clearly! … She seemed to be very scared when she saw me! … A pair of snow-white wings suddenly appeared on her back … and then she flew away just like that … "
The people sitting around laughed and did not mean to take it seriously at all.
However, the tavern owner who was bored at the bar came over at this moment and poured a glass of rum for the drunkard in front of him. He pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "Really?"
"Then where did the angel fly to in the end?"
The drunkard was already drunk, and he could not even speak clearly with his tongue, "South … South …"
"Angel …"
"It's really an angel …"
"You guys … don't believe me … I really saw it … with my own eyes …"
Plop.
The drunkard who drank too much finally fell down, but he was still whispering something in his mouth. It seemed that he had told many people about this, but no one took it seriously.
The tavern owner returned to the bar. He called a bartender to watch over him, and then left from the back door.
…
Late December.
There were only a few days left before the New Year. Perhaps because of the arrival of the New Year, all the places were a little quieter. But today, a very strange thing suddenly happened in Mordor City.
It was about five o 'clock in the afternoon.
Yesterday, Mordor City just had its first snow of the year, so the roofs looked white.
The light in the afternoon was already a little dim. Just a moment before the sun set, a strange shadow suddenly appeared in the south of Mordor City, a place where almost no one usually went near the ruins of man-eating plants.
A tall tower towering into the clouds!
It looked like a mirage. It only existed for less than a few minutes, and then gradually disappeared.
