Allen's blood began to boil as he listened, but he also asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time. "What does this have to do with their demise? You just used the Gods and the Gods' Prohibition … I have always been curious about why the Gods in the ancient myths have never shown any signs of miracles. I mean, if you have a way to become a god, why do the gods who originally existed seem to have disappeared … and the god of death, who is he? "
"Such glorious achievements made the Netherrians, especially those who had reached a certain level of power and were known as great arcanists, become very arrogant, especially when it came to the issue of the gods who still existed in the world at that time. They thought that the gods had only mastered the so-called 'ultimate magic' that they didn't know about. This arrogance and some other reasons led to the Netherrians generally not being willing to believe in any gods. When they were injured, they were even unwilling to accept divine healing, believing that it would be an obstacle to their path of magic. "
Ravenclaw did not directly answer Allen's question. She continued to explain, "The collapse of the floating city, Sangrester, was the beginning of the decline of the Netherrians. The owner of the floating city, Sangrester, blew up his floating city when he tried to use the Extreme Meteor Burst spell, and no one survived. Then misfortune came one after another. A prodigy wizard was born at the age of two who cast the first spell that was not a Mana Riot, but a complete spell. This young man, Karsus, discovered that he could master magic effortlessly. He learned it almost immediately, as if he had always been familiar with them. Like the other Nethererians, he refused to give his faith to any god. He firmly believed that he would become a god one day, and he did. After becoming the youngest arcanist, after many years of research, he created and cast an unprecedented legendary spell — Karsus' Avatar. Then, the Nethererians perished. "
"A single spell was enough to destroy an empire? Aren't these floating cities floating in the sky? How can his spell affect the entire world? "Allen was a little incredulous. This was far beyond his understanding of magic.
"I combined the few records before he cast this spell with the relevant records of other civilizations and deduced the truth. This legendary spell can take away the power of a god, and Karsus shouldn't have chosen magic as the target of stealing the clergy.
He succeeded, but it also caused the magic of the entire world to go out of control. Just like a small stone causing a huge avalanche, the whole earth became a crazy magic zone. The magic power was surging, rising and falling in disorder. The whole world was facing a catastrophe. The monstrous flood raged on the ground, and the floating cities in the sky fell one after another. Those floating cities that used protective shields to explore the deep sea and the universe were instantly swallowed by the sea and crushed by the vacuum. The city lords died of natural causes before this. Their constant Iolum's Longevity Spell lost its effect, and after the extra lifespan was gone, aging came back to them, making them hundreds of years older in an instant.
As the saying goes, disaster comes from the sky even when one is sitting at home. Those magical items, quasi-magical items, and all sorts of magical traps and alchemical products with various abilities were triggered in all sorts of ways due to the chaotic magical fluctuations. After the chaotic magic was triggered, many ordinary adepts and civilians who were already used to these products lost their lives.
Some gods with the power of prophecy left the world in advance, and the true gods of other large pantheons fell forever in this incident. Some good gods, knowing that they would not be spared, tried to sacrifice themselves and tried to restore peace to the world.
Only the three floating cities that happened to be on the ground managed to escape, but after losing their most powerful combat forces and the quasi-magical items that required the Mise energy cores to function properly were rendered useless, countless enemies that the Netherell had made out of arrogance and recklessness saw it as a good opportunity for revenge. The remaining Netherell were also wiped out after a period of struggling at death's door. "
Ravenclaw suddenly turned to look at Allen playfully. "The God of Death now is not the ancient one. He is just a mortal wizard who is proficient in necromancy. After studying a few Netherell scrolls and mastering the secrets of the gods, he chose death, a clergy that would not cause much of a stir in the mortal world, and became the new God of Death, just like what I want to do now. You've probably heard of the name of this Grim Reaper when he was in the mortal world — Despicable Helbo, an ancient Greek Dark Wizard. He was one of the earliest known Dark Wizards, and even today, many of his studies still affect Dark Magic. He is regarded as the first wizard to cultivate a basilisk, and thus became famous. In addition, he also invented many evil curses and became the first wizard to successfully create a soul vessel. "
"Despicable Helbo is the God of Death …" Allen was shocked by this information, and then he realized that something was wrong. "But when I met the God of Death before, I didn't feel that he was that evil … I mean, he seemed to be fulfilling his duty of guiding the dead into hibernation …"
"That's not wrong, because he is no longer the despicable Helbo. This Greek wizard was as impatient as Karsus when he became a god. He did not have the ability to instantly master such a huge power. Instead, he was assimilated and controlled by the divine title of the God of Death. However, his own greed still affected his behavior, causing him to devour the souls of the dead to strengthen himself. This is also the reason why we need to resist death. I don't want my fate after death to be decided by a new god who was also an ordinary wizard in the past." Ravenclaw said to Allen in a somewhat arrogant tone. "By the way, when you participated in the carnival organized by Hufflepuff, that monkey-faced Salazar also got a rooster egg to cultivate a basilisk and put it in his secret room. This arrogant old man thought that no one knew about it. He didn't think that I completed most of the design of the Hogwarts. Would I not leave a surveillance system behind?"
"It sounds difficult to deal with a mortal wizard who became a god, but it's much easier than dealing with those ancient gods." Allen shrugged and looked at the Nether Scroll in his hand. "Is there anything I need to pay attention to in order to learn it?"
"Even if you have a stronger mental resistance than ordinary mortals and can hold on for longer, don't read by yourself without me. A wizard who has gone crazy from reading too many Nether Scrolls can usually be cured by magic if his crazy brain can still control his actions. But the price is that the wizard's magic ability will be severely damaged, and he may even become a useless cannon. There may also be some unpredictable consequences. There was once a red-robed wizard named Edwin who changed his gender after reading too many Nether Scrolls. He had to change his name to Edwina … "
When Ravenclaw finished speaking, his expression became more serious. "There is a way to avoid going crazy from reading too much — direct help from the existence of Divine Power. I've made a deal with that big devil called Bair and got the blood of a true god in hell to study the secrets of Divine Power. Although I haven't officially started to collect faith, I'm still a false god."
Allen was not a brute like Gryffindor. "So you took the risk to read them alone? Back then, what did you promise Bardi to get this … "
"It's just that Bair lost a bet with me." Ravenclaw shook her head and interrupted Allen. "Allen, you and I have different paths to take. You can't become a god. The Nether people are right in some aspects. Divine Power and magic will repel each other. Now that I've chosen to become a god, I can't go all the way on the path of magic. Even if I've learned the principles of the deepest level of magical knowledge, the Divine Power will prevent me from turning this knowledge into my own power. You, on the other hand, need to go all the way on this path. "
Upon hearing this, Allen's eyes instantly turned red. Although he did not think there was anything wrong with the path of becoming a god, as a research witch who loved to study magic, she had given up this path. Based on the conversation just now, he believed that Ravenclaw had chosen to become a false god so that he could fully master this knowledge.
"You think too much. A greedy predator is not as great and selfless as you think. But don't be happy too early and think that you can find a god to read the Nether scrolls. First of all, the god must be very proficient in magic and care for the mortals. Such a combination was impossible in the era of Netheril. Their relationship with the gods was too tense, so none of the great arcanists of Netheril were able to read all 50 chapters of the scroll. " The witch tilted her head and winked at Allen mischievously. "And I happen to meet all the requirements. I'm very proficient in magic and care for you as a mortal. I'll help you master the mystery of magic, and you'll be willing to become my chosen to help me achieve my goal, right? Don't worry, I promise you won't become Allen. "
