After teleporting back to Delpon, Roland was in a bit of a bad mood.
Although Jabezo was indeed a good-for-nothing, the conflicted emotions shown by the old woman made him feel a little sorry for the former.
Seeing that he was so unhappy, Andonara asked what had happened.
Roland told her what had happened.
After hearing this, Andonara also sighed and said, "That woman is quite pitiful. On one side is her beloved husband, and on the other side is the ideals and beliefs that she has practiced all her life. She can neither hate nor love."
"Let's not talk about these annoying things. Before the Demigod Mage died, he gave me a handbook of his experiences." Roland took the handbook out of his Backpack, then frowned. "I was too busy teleporting back and forgot to collect some pink flowers from the prairie. Wait a minute."
Roland then teleported again to the Croatian Prairie and collected a lot of flowers.
He divided them into three parts, one for Andonara and one for Vivian.
The other was left for himself to make potions to unlock the handbook.
As a result, a dozen round fruit bats flew in and turned into women.
Christina looked at him with a bitter look.
Left with no choice, Roland gave three flowers to her.
Then, the vampire girl left happily.
Magic locks were typically easy for those who were difficult to master.
First, the pink flowers were boiled into juice, then lightning magic was poured into it, and finally the handbook of his experiences was soaked.
About half a minute later, a strange magic dissipated, and the book that had looked covered in blue patterns became an ordinary booklet.
Roland returned to his lab and opened it slowly.
After reading a dozen pages, he closed the handbook.
"Impressive."
In this handbook, it wasn't any magic insights, but research on the Divine Spark.
This was what Jabezo had spent fifty years writing after he escaped from the sealed land.
It used ancient characters from more than three hundred years ago, which should have been lost now. Fortunately, Roland knew the spell Character Proficiency.
The first few pages were descriptions and conjectures about the nature of the Divine Spark.
This was followed by research on creating a virtual Divine Spark.
It was just that in Jabezo's mind, to create a virtual Divine Spark, one had to have a lot of magic power.
But after being knocked down from his Demigod state by Mystra, his magic power capacity had dropped quite dramatically, and there were still remnants of the sealing power, so the experiment progressed very slowly.
He could only break it down into individual steps and slowly experiment.
The first step was to use a large amount of magic power to build a shell of the Divine Spark.
Because it was a virtual Godhead, such a shell was not difficult.
With magic power as the foundation, supplemented by his own will as the base material, he imagined an emotion, a characteristic, as a primer for the Virtual Divine Spark.
According to the manual, it was best to choose a non-Lord-level Divine Spark. In other words, it was best not to have any designs on Lord-level Divine Sparks like Life, Light, or Death.
Even if it was a fake Virtual Godhood, once it was created, it would definitely attract the attention of the gods.
Because they were so powerful, it was easy for them to sense the fluctuations of godhood similar to his own.
Jabezo also said in the manual that it was best to simulate the Divine Personas of the Evil Gods in the Astral Plane.
For example, hunger, tyranny, greed, and other negative divinities.
Although this would cause his faction to shift, at least he wouldn't be targeted.
The Astral Evil Gods were now at an extreme disadvantage. The Order Gods were pressuring them to the point that they couldn't breathe.
And the environment of the entire main plane was relatively peaceful right now, with very few wars. The Astral Plane they were in was too far from the main plane, and it was quite difficult to get negative power.
But if it was a virtual Divine Spark, it could directly attract the negative energy of this main plane.
In this plane, it was still easy to find tragic people and things.
Even if it couldn't be found for the time being, it could be created.
Roland was quite tempted.
Jabezo could try to create a virtual Divine Spark step by step at the Master level, but he probably didn't succeed, otherwise he wouldn't have been so easily killed by Roland.
If he could do it, Roland figured he could do it too.
Besides, the requirement of "extremely high magic capacity" was easy for Roland to achieve.
So he teleported to an uninhabited desert and spent a day building a rather large underground laboratory.
He then took out a few blue magic bricks.
According to the book, he first turned the bricks into a large amount of pure magic, then absorbed it, and built a blue energy ball with a radius of about three meters. Then he closed his eyes and channeled his spiritual will into it.
What he channeled was the feeling of food.
Kung pao chicken, boiled cabbage, lion's head, sautéed vermicelli, stir-fried beans, steamed dumplings, all kinds of noodles, and all kinds of meat dishes.
Roland had always been an ordinary person, and what he ate was ordinary home-cooked food.
But even this amount of food was enough for him to think about for two or three hours.
Finally, the ending was naturally the happy drink.
When he completely channeled his spiritual will into it, he felt a little dazed.
He sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the energy ball not far ahead that had turned from blue to a colorful halo, smiling quite happily.
After all, he had already reached this step, and he was already halfway there.
He wasn't going to channel some evil god's Divine Spark. This world was fun and full of positive things, so why did he have to be a bad guy?
Wasn't there something wrong with his brain?
There was no god of food in this world anyway.
Maybe it was because the vast majority of people didn't have much of a concept of the word "food."
Roland rested for nearly half an hour and felt that his mana had almost recovered, so he stood up again and began to compress the energy ball in front of him with his mental energy.
At first, the compression was very fast.
In less than half an hour, it went from a radius of three meters to a diameter of three meters.
But as the energy ball got smaller and smaller, the compression became more and more difficult, and it took ten hours to compress it to a diameter of one meter.
But that wasn't enough. He had to compress it further.
All that was left was to simmer it over a low heat.
Because it had to be compressed to a diameter of at least five centimeters to be considered successful.
After that, the compressed time was calculated in days.
In the first ten days, it was compressed to a diameter of thirty centimeters.
In the middle ten days, it was compressed to a diameter of ten centimeters.
In the end, it took another twenty days to compress it to a diameter of five centimeters.
In fact, from the perspective of the virtual Divine Spark, the smaller this thing was, the better. It would be best if it could be compressed to a diameter of less than one centimeter, but that was unlikely.
At least, it was impossible with Roland's current abilities.
It was impossible at all. Compressing it to a diameter of five centimeters was already the limit of the Master level.
A Legend could probably compress it to three centimeters, and a Demigod about two centimeters.
Roland looked at the energy ball in his hand that had turned into a colorful ball of light, looked at it quietly for a while, and then patted it to his forehead.
As soon as the ball touched his skin, it entered Roland's brain in a strange infiltration pattern.
This was something that his mental power had manifested, so it couldn't cause him any harm.
The moment the ball entered his head, Roland subconsciously shuddered.
It was as good as shuddering on Andonara's body.
After his body shivered for nearly half a minute, Roland finally suppressed his physical instincts and began to feel the effect this ball had on him.
First of all … all his attributes had increased by about five to ten percent.
Secondly, he began to feel very hungry.
He always wanted to find something to eat.
He took some random dry food out of his Backpack, but as soon as he took a bite, he felt nauseated.
He directly spat the dried meat in his mouth onto the ground. He couldn't eat anything that could have been in his mouth before.
Roland thought for a moment, opened the system interface, and found that there was indeed an additional message in his character system.
Law of Delicacies (Virtual Divine Spark): Your crazy obsession with food gives you the capital to touch the power of the laws. Although it's not a real Divine Spark, it can still bring you real benefits.
Gluttonous Delicacies: For you, ingesting delicacies is happier than mating with women.
Picky: Food with a Gourmet Rating below five can't enter your stomach, and you will vomit it out. This is the case even when you are extremely hungry. So, even if there is food in front of you, you are in danger of starvation.
Delicacies: The food you make and the food made by those who believe in you has an increased Gourmet Rating. And your believers can use the magic power in your body to release some of the divine spells that you have set.
Number of believers: 0
Divine Spells: None (4)
After reading these entries, Roland fell into deep thought.
The first few entries were easy to understand, but what did the latter "Divine Spells" mean? And what did the numbers at the end mean?
Four divine spells could be set?
Roland thought for a moment. He clicked on the option to set divine spells, and then a large number of spells unfolded in front of him, all of which he had learned and could use.
Looking at the dazzling magic names floating in front of his eyes, Roland thought for a moment and dragged the spell Unhindered Communication into it.
As a result … a system notification popped up.
"Insufficient points."
Oh … according to the "strength" of the spell, got it.
Roland then put Language Proficiency into the divine spell system.
It passed this time.
But there were only two points left.
Roland thought for a moment and put a level-one Heal for Minor Injuries, which also passed.
He still had one point left.
After a moment's consideration, Roland put a level-one Detoxification in as well.
It passed too.
The next step was to get someone to use these spells.
Since it was a Divine Spark, then he should find someone to believe in him.
Roland teleported back to Delpon.
Then he quietly pulled Andonara into the bedroom, closed the door and windows, and put up a soundproof barrier.
Andonara blushed and took off her clothes.
Roland closed the curtains, looked back, and was instantly speechless. "No, I have serious business."
Andonara walked up to Roland, put her arms around his neck, and said flirtatiously, "Dead man, you always say that you have to do serious business, can't you say it in a different way and be more romantic?"
"It really is serious business." Roland subconsciously put his arms around Andonara's waist, then his hands slid down and pressed on her hips.
"I know it's serious business." Andonara's eyes were full of smiles at this moment, sweet and charming, like honey. "Are you on top this time, or am I on top?"
Roland kissed her forehead. "I said it's serious business. I want you to try to become my believer!"
This time it was Andonara's turn to be confused.
