[Third update, one more update.]
The reincarnation of a deity was said to have no soul, only godly fire. However, this woman wasn't a real deity. Her level was suppressed to level-12, and her power was only at the level of an oracle. Under the control of Myers' Fallen Shackles, she didn't even have a Divine Spark.
She could only be considered a powerful fallen who had mastered divine spells. Her reincarnation was also different from that of a deity.
The baby began to chant her unique incantation. The violent power in her body was absorbed bit by bit, broken down, and turned into nourishment for her body.
The young body was expanding and growing, and it made painful sounds at the same time. But she was still laughing in pain. As she laughed, she looked at Salin's Elemental Magic Tower.
She had complete memories. She knew where she came from and what she was going to do. The first thing she wanted to do was to destroy that Magic Tower and transform the people inside into believers. She wanted them to dedicate all their power to fight for her.
It was time to return to the continent and let the light of the Goddess of Nature shine on the entire plane!
Salin was very upset by her stare. There were still two hours before Rex teleported the miniature magic cannon over. He didn't know how much this reincarnated baby could grow in two hours.
"Master, why don't we just kill her?" Nelis was a little afraid of the baby's gaze.
"Master, I think so too. It seems to be a Nascent Soul. But it's impossible, unless someone on this continent broke through level-13, and the rules of power were loosened …" Nicholas said in contradiction.
"What's a Nascent Soul?"
"An existence that can grow into a false god … doesn't need special training."
Salin's pupils contracted. False god? Salin already knew that false gods were level-13 creatures. The limit of power on the Myers Continent was level-12.
This was definitely not a good thing. Although Salin wasn't a match for a level-12 creature, he had his family badge. After reaching level-10, he could lock onto an enemy of the same level. But once the enemy reached level-13, he wouldn't be able to lock onto the target even if he advanced to level-10.
In that case, his family badge would no longer be a decisive weapon.
"Nicholas, that woman absorbed more than 2,000 level-9 creatures. These two thousand level-9 creatures won't let the Nascent Soul grow into level-13," Salin judged calmly.
Nicholas nodded slowly. There was a huge threshold between Level Nine and Level Ten, and the threshold between Level Twelve and Level Thirteen was even higher. Not to mention over 2,000 level-9 creatures, even 20,000 of them wouldn't be able to help a level-12 creature advance to level-13.
"Hehe …" The baby's laughter gradually became louder. What made people's scalps tingle was that it soon became the voice of an adult.
"Blasphemers, you will all be purified by me!"
Her body grew faster and faster, and she was already close to a meter tall. She turned into a child and stood up. The strange incantation echoed from the altar again. There were still more than a thousand level 9 creatures below the altar. When they heard the incantation, they started walking towards the altar one by one.
The little girl sat down on the steps of the altar. She did not devour the humanoid creature that walked up the altar. The humanoid creature walked in front of her, knelt, and prostrated on the ground. The girl's hand rubbed the humanoid creature's head, and a green divine light lit up. The blue light on the humanoid creature's body was extinguished, and it turned into human skin.
"I, Myer, the only god of the main continent plane, grant you liberation." The little girl's voice was clear, but it was completely the voice of an adult.
"Supreme Myer, you are my only god!" The humanoid creature kissed the tip of the little girl's foot, stood up, and walked behind the little girl to stand solemnly. Then, a second humanoid creature walked up the steps.
"F * ck, it's really the Nascent Soul!" Nicholas cursed in disbelief. Salin's expression became even more solemn. Nicholas would not speak without reason.
"Master, this is the Blessing Spell. Those level-9 creatures were originally humans, but for some reason, they've turned into monsters. This … If it wasn't for the Nascent Soul, they wouldn't be able to return to human form! " Nicholas spoke very quickly. He wanted to impart all the knowledge he had about the Nascent Soul into Salin's mind.
"How's the combat power of the Nascent Soul?"
"Very strong!"
"Can the level-10 elemental creatures control the situation?"
"No!"
"How's the combat power of the believers who have returned to human form?"
"They're about the same as the elemental creatures. The level-9 ones are at a disadvantage in terms of strength. If Master were to personally command the battle, six elemental creatures would be able to deal with three times the number of level-9 believers."
Salin scratched his head. How many elemental creatures would he have left with over a thousand level-9 believers? And that Nascent Soul was still growing slowly. The family crest in his hand seemed to have sensed his mood and began to heat up slightly. In the lightning-shaped mark in the center of the crest, blue light condensed into a liquid state, ready to release lightning attacks at any time.
If it was his teacher, what would he do now? Kill the Nascent Soul in the cradle, or wait patiently. In another hour or so, the miniature magic cannon would be in his hands.
The power of the miniature magic cannon was not weak, especially within a five-mile radius. Salin had not seen any magic shields that could withstand it. After the wizards of Seriger Island arrived, they had experimented with six level-9 shields set up by magic formations, and the miniature magic cannon had penetrated them with full force.
That attack had even destroyed one of Salin's small magic buildings.
The miniature magic cannon's ability to attack fixed targets was equivalent to the full-force attack of a level-10 powerhouse. During the Second Dynasty, these miniature magic cannons were already important weapons on warships.
If the Nascent Soul did not leave the altar, Salin could easily use the miniature magic cannon to achieve victory. The most frightening thing was that the Nascent Soul would leave the altar. In addition to those level-9 believers, the miniature magic cannon's firing speed was slow, and it could not lock onto a powerful target. By then, even Salin's family crest might not have a good chance.
Nelis and Nicholas were extremely anxious, especially Nelis. She had almost lost Salin during the battle with the Dread Angel. At that time, the Dread Angel had ignored her provocation and attacked Salin directly. Neris didn't want to experience this a second time.
Nicholas was also anxious. It was not easy for Salin to truly accept him, and gave him the best conditions to advance to level-10. If Salin died, he would feel an indescribable pain in his heart. It was not only related to the benefits, but also the security he felt during this period of time.
In Salin's group, everyone was united against outsiders. Other than Nelis, who was a little difficult to deal with, the rest would not have any ill intentions towards him. This was different from the Vatican. The internal strife in the Vatican had reached an extremely serious level, otherwise the Pope would not have agreed to launch a Holy War.
Using external wars to resolve internal conflicts was not a new method, but it was the most effective.
Nicholas liked this sense of security. He could put all his energy on simpler goals, such as advancing, or helping Salin to lure more mages to fall. He did not have to worry about knives coming from behind, and he could also get the best support from this group.
For example, things like the Crimson Soul Tower, even in the Vatican, were shared by the highest levels. Although he was a level-9 mage, he was excluded from the core of power.
"Don't worry, if the Nascent Soul is strong enough, why is it not attacking my Magic Tower now? She is not confident, so she is blessing the believers and restoring their combat power. "Salin's voice was gentle, flowing through Nelis and Nicholas's hearts like water.
Those level-9 believers who had become monsters were blinded before they recovered their human bodies, and their fighting style was very simple. Without the girl's command, they could only win with numbers. The Nascent Soul was now restoring the believers' combat power, but it was not fast. Salin's analysis was correct. The growth of the Nascent Soul also needed time.
Now it was a matter of who had more time, and who would gain the upper hand.
Nicholas remembered that when he had just become a mage, his superior had warned him that greed was an original sin, and he must stay away from it. Salin seemed to be too greedy, and this was purely risking his own life.
But Salin's analysis made sense. The Nascent Soul could not directly leap to level-13, not even level-12.
As expected, humans were the greediest creatures. Nicholas looked at Salin's calm expression and sighed in his heart. For the greatest benefit, Salin was willing to take risks.
He was not a mage, and could not understand Salin's thoughts. For Salin, all gains must be paid for. The altar in front of him was used by Myers to trap the fallen, and it was of great value. And that woman's body was even more precious than the body of the Angel of Fear.
For such high-level materials, it was worth the risk.
How could there be a free lunch in this world? Back when he received the flour from Viscount Guge, it was indeed free. But at that time, he was worse off than a dog.
After all, he was a mage, and his status as a king was insignificant. If he wanted to obtain it, he had to work hard. Salin's blue eyes were filled with determination.
If it were his teacher, he would do the same!
The girl continued to bless the believers. One by one, the level-9 monsters returned to their human forms and stood on the altar. The girl's body grew faster and faster. She was already more than one meter tall, and her figure had become that of a young girl. And the speed at which she blessed the believers also increased. She could restore four believers to their human forms at once.
The power of faith produced by these level-9 believers helped her suppress the violent power in her body. She looked at Salin's Mage Tower, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
