[Second Update]
"Your Highness, the power of Divine Arts originates from God. Those who are abandoned by God will never be able to use Divine Arts again. This is common sense." Nicholas' words attracted the other followers around Salin. Everyone was a person with a strong thirst for knowledge, and Nicholas' words could be said to be contradictory, so everyone was interested.
Nicholas was obviously abandoned by the gods, but he could still cast divine spells.
"However, the power of the mages is not all bestowed by the gods. Gods like the Lord of Light cannot come to the Myers Continent in person, and even his clone cannot enter this plane, so he will find an agent to spread his faith. The advantage of the agent is that he can intercept some of the believers' power of faith and keep it for his own use. "
Nicholas' words were very simple, and even the swordsman could understand.
"This interception of the power of faith is allowed by the gods, and the fallen mages forcibly steal the power that originally belonged to the gods as a source of consumption for their own skills."
"Oh!" The sorcerers were amazed. Their understanding of divine arts came from battles with mages. Few mages would betray the gods and work with sorcerers. Therefore, most of the sorcerers' understanding of divine arts was how to destroy and how to resist it.
The first time they heard Nicholas' explanation, everyone was very surprised. The mages could steal the power that originally belonged to the gods.
Although humans had once conquered the gods and achieved glorious results, there was no doubt that the gods themselves were powerful. The believers were the lambs of the gods, and the mages were the slaves of the gods. These mages understood.
"Stealing the power of the gods will result in the punishment of the gods. As long as the God of Light descends, I will die without a burial place. Even my soul will be captured and sent to the purgatory created by the gods to suffer for eternity. Therefore, in order to have a better end, the fallen mages will do their best to make the faith of the gods disappear in their own plane. "
"Nicholas, so you have no way out now?" Neris asked with a smile. She knew what Nicholas was trying to do, but she could get some benefits from this old man, so she might as well say a few words for him.
"The Lord of Light is an extremely stingy god. I have already betrayed him, and there is no turning back," Nicholas replied solemnly.
"Stingy? What did he say? " Nelis asked very cooperatively. In her heart, she had many questions about perfecting the 12 Movements of Purgatory. The God of Light liked to imitate the environment of Purgatory to punish his enemies, so the mages should be very familiar with Purgatory.
"If the God of Light was generous, the lifespan of the Mages in the Myers Continent would be several times longer, and their strength would also increase by a lot. They definitely wouldn't be suppressed to death by the mages."
The sorcerers under Salin snorted disapprovingly. Nicholas hurriedly explained, "I mean, when the power of human beings declined, the mages had the opportunity to gain overwhelming power."
The Winged Skeleton asked, "Does the God of Light not want his belief to spread widely in the Myers Continent? If his mages are strong enough, the spread of his faith will be faster, which will be beneficial to him. "
"Gods have a long lifespan and are almost immortal. The God of Light was indeed reluctant to give his followers too much power, as that would slow down his rate of improvement. "
The magicians were baffled. The behavior of a god was indeed inconceivable to the magicians. If it were a magician, he would definitely make another choice, which was to give his followers more powerful abilities so that the spread of his faith would be as fast as possible.
The choice of a god was not stingy, but retarded.
"There is a limit to the power of faith that a plane can provide. Beyond this limit, the plane will gradually weaken. Many half-planes are created this way. After the gods turn them into barren land, they directly give up. From then on, it will be difficult for the half-plane to produce any living beings, let alone civilization. "Nicholas' words surprised the magicians once again.
The spread of faith by gods would actually cause the destruction of a plane!
Salin had been to the Hell of Godly Punishment and knew what a half-plane looked like. The Hell of Godly Punishment was not created by gods, but a half-plane that was still growing. But if a plane degenerated to such a state, it was really hard to accept.
"The God of Light's approach seems to be able to prevent the Myers Continent from suffering such a fate," a magician said.
"There is no difference. When the faith spreads to the entire plane, most people are praying and offering their souls. Then the end of the plane is already determined," Nicholas answered indifferently.
"Then the Pope starting a holy war is the oracle of the God of Light?" Salin and his followers all became a little heavy.
"Yes, the gods are like this, constantly nibbling away from one plane to another. Back then, humans conquered the gods for this reason. The Myers Continent is the main plane. If it collapses, there is almost no possibility of recovery. "
"Nicholas, how do you know so much?" Salin had some doubts about Nicholas' origins. Although he was a level nine mage, what he said was the core secret of a religion. If this secret was spread …
No, even if it was spread, the believers would not believe it. Believers were absolutely blindly obedient to God. Nicholas was a mage, but not a believer.
Nicholas raised the Codex of the Fallen in his hand and said, "After I fell, these contents appeared in the codex. The God of Light also had enemies, not only humans, but also gods. These gods were also tempting the God of Light's believers and robbing them of their faith. But in this plane, the God of Light's faith was stronger, and other gods could not intervene. They could only quietly wait for an opportunity. "
Nicholas couldn't help but sneer and said, "The God of Light said that there were no other gods besides him, but it was purely a lie. After I fell, there were other gods who left divine texts on this codex to tempt me to join. "
"Then did you join?" Neris asked curiously.
The atmosphere that Nicholas had painstakingly created was destroyed by Neris. Neris allowed him to interact with the people around him and be accepted, but Nicholas wanted to become a core figure around Salin, which was something that Neris could not tolerate.
The master could only belong to herself. This was Neris's truest thought.
Although Nicholas was discouraged, he could not make any accusations against Neris. To be exact, he still needed Neris's help to be accepted by others as a fallen mage.
Magicians and mages were opposites and irreconcilable contradictions. Nicholas's efforts could easily be destroyed by Neris.
"I didn't even dare to destroy this Codex of the Fallen, and I can't use it to fight, because it is easy to leave clearer coordinates, allowing other gods to infiltrate this plane. It is very difficult to deal with the God of Light, and a few more gods would be a huge disaster for the Myers Continent. "
"Well, Nicholas, what kind of equipment do you need, I will find a way for you." Salin didn't want to talk about the gods anymore. Nicholas only knew a general idea, and the secrets of the gods would never be spread at will. Now he was thinking, if the Goddess Myers was resurrected, would the Myers Continent collapse?
He had already promised the goddess to spread her faith.
What Nicholas said was true, that the origin of a plane would be exhausted because of the arrival of gods.
If the Goddess Myers was resurrected, what would happen to the Myers Continent? Salin now realized that the knowledge he had learned about divinity was too shallow.
"I am a fallen mage, and there are many offensive fallen divine spells, but few healing ones. Everyone knows that the healing of divine spells is faster than magic, and the only disadvantage is that it consumes a part of the healed person's life. But in special times, the healing of divine spells is still necessary, so I need a healing equipment. "
"Healing equipment …"
"A Fallen Scepter, a scepter that can provide the power of life, so the healed person will have to pay a very small price."
Salin understood that he had the Left Hand of God, which contained a strong power of life. The armor he refined for Sicar, the longbow Seven Nights for Eleanor, and the quiver, all had materials from the Tree of Life.
Nicholas was very sensitive to divinity, and he didn't know what materials Salin used, nor could he directly say what he wanted, so he chose a scepter, which looked like a magic staff.
What a crafty old man! Salin sighed in his heart. However, he was still willing to give the materials for a scepter to Nicholas. After all, Nicholas' healing theurgy was indeed very effective in battle, and magic couldn't be compared to it.
"The Pearl of Soul can be directly embedded on the scepter, so I can control it more easily in battle." Nicholas simply finished his request. He also knew that Salin had always been extremely generous to his followers.
"Don't worry, Nicholas, I know what you want." Salin suddenly remembered that he still had the Morus Alba and the Ghost Oak given by Joey. Together with the Tree of Life, he could make a scepter more suitable for Nicholas.
The fact that Salin entered the core temple was not a secret, but only a few people who entered the temple knew that he had signed a contract with the Goddess. Salin was a little annoyed. If Nicholas's description of the gods was true, then wouldn't helping the Goddess Myers be equivalent to helping her destroy her plane?
If he didn't complete the contract, then his soul would be sealed in the Divine Stele, and he would never be able to free himself.
This was really a difficult choice. Salin knew that he was not a noble person, but destroying a plane and turning the Myers Continent into a place like the Hell of God's Punishment was equally difficult for Salin to accept.
