"Really, I'm not used to it."
Rorschach was rather surprised and not used to it.
The view in front of him suddenly became a lot higher, and it actually made him feel a little dizzy. But then, the "illusion" that the people and things around him suddenly became a size smaller made him laugh involuntarily.
"Yep, it's good to be a big guy."
Returning to Ansorenne after more than half a year wasn't just a change in his field of vision.
"This magic power? Oh, as expected, a spellcaster's core is still their soul … "
After becoming a level seven spellcaster, Rorschach's magic power was at least ten times stronger than before he left. But after returning to Ansorenne's physical body, his magic power didn't return to its original level.
On the contrary, due to the surging Elemental Tide here and the Gold Elves' high elemental affinity, Rorschach even faintly felt that he … could level up again?
"Don't level up, or else the consequences will be troublesome. The path to becoming a pseudo-Myth-rank will be difficult. "
His younger sister's reminder made him temporarily forget about some of his unnecessary thoughts.
Just like how a high-oxygen environment could allow creatures to evolve at an exaggerated rate, an environment with high elemental density would not only greatly increase the power of magic and other supernatural abilities, it would also make it easier to level up.
Compared to the War of Dawn, the current Aishi was considered to be in a high-magic stage. Leveling up in the past was much more difficult. Back in the day, leveling up to Legend required a Soul Imprint as a foundation, and it was impossible for an Myth-ranked weapon to level up without polishing it.
Ansorenne's magic power and Elemental Tide were several times or even dozens of times stronger than the current Aishi. If an analogy had to be made, the Aishi during the War of Dawn was like the water vapor in a desert, and the current Aishi was like the water vapor in a port city, while Ansorenne lived directly under the water.
If there weren't such a high-elemental and magical environment, and if there weren't Descenders who were leveling up so quickly, it wasn't that the later generations were ten times or even a hundred times smarter than the previous generations. It was just that the environment was different.
A change in environment could affect many things. Most of the current Aishi Legends were pseudo-Myth-ranked, and Ansorenne was even more ridiculous. There were pseudo-Myth-ranked and pseudo-SemiGod existences.
They didn't even polish their Myth-ranked weapons to become immortal, and instead used their own physical bodies as proof of becoming immortal. They forcefully leveled up without even meeting the basic requirements, but in terms of personal power or future potential, they definitely couldn't compare to true Myth-ranked.
"I'm only one step away from Epic, but this step is really a little difficult to take."
Being able to become immortal. Being able to greatly extend to become an immortal, but he wasn't an ambitious person. If there weren't so many troublesome matters involved, he would be satisfied to be able to become a level... was already satisfied to becoming to becoming to becoming to becoming to becoming to becoming to becoming immortal. to becoming to becoming to becoming to. to becoming to becoming to become imimmortal.
. be immortal becoming like becoming a being immortal, being immortal... becoming to becoming to becoming a being a weapon, being to becoming to becoming to becoming immortal.
Immortal was indestructible and eternal. But to put it another way, it was constant and would never change.
There was no room for retreat. If he became a pseudo-Myth-ranked warrior in Ansorenne, then he would also become an Myth-ranked warrior in Aishi. The Land of Dreams would no longer be able to be devoured or fused with.
Rorschach shook his head. It might not be a good thing to become stronger now. At this stage, he had to avoid fighting with others as much as possible. Otherwise, if he accidentally leveled up, he would be in big trouble.
However, it had to be mentioned that with the current him, he would have no problem fighting against the two people he had before he left.
Compared to the half-wood spirits, the Gold Elves had much better magical talent. When he first returned to Ansorenne, Rorschach even faintly saw the Elemental Elves singing together. It was as if he could control them with just a thought.
Unlike the Life and Death Elemental restrictions in Aishi, the Gold Elves, who were favored by the elements, had no restrictions. Although they were still limited by their natural talents, Rorschach already had the ability and method to control them.
With just a thought, he was able to create small suns made of flames, small tornadoes made of strong winds, and little mermaids made of waves appeared all around him. This was different from the previous flower shelf on top of his head. This time, he was using true elemental power.
He couldn't explain why he was able to do this, but he was able to do it. Perhaps this was the huge difference between a rank 4 mage and a rank 7 mage. In an area with extremely high elemental density, high-level archmages would be able to cast spells as naturally and casually as breathing.
Rorschach's great improvement in power gave him the confidence to face danger.
However, this didn't mean that his surroundings had become safer or friendlier. On the contrary, the moment Rorschach returned to Vila Nova Dônia, he only received hostile and wary gazes.
"What? Those newcomers have to go through an inspection before entering the city? And the inspection period starts at three months? "
When Rorschach received this notice, he felt like he had heard a joke.
After all, even people from Cape Town who entered Vila Nova Dônia only had to go through the most basic inspection. Even strangers from the wastelands and people from other races who had never been seen before only needed to go through a simple registration and identity registration before they could enter and leave freely. The entire process would take less than half an hour.
If one were to talk about accepting the Stigmata and having an inspection period, then only those nationalists from Cape Town and dangerous people who were suspected of being followers of evil gods would have an inspection period. They would be followed by security personnel who would regularly report their whereabouts.
"They're guarding against those apprentices as if they're thieves … It's obvious that they specialize in disgusting people."
Vila Nova Dônia didn't hide their unfriendliness towards him and the Game Church.
Of course, this unfriendliness was mostly directed towards the Mage Country. It was a market owner's vigilance and even fear towards a huge entity that might enter the city. It was a display of extreme lack of confidence … If a real big shot were to enter the city, then there wouldn't be so much trouble. Whoever jumped in would die.
But now, in their eyes, the Game Church who was prepared to lure a big shot into the city had become a traitor and a mortal enemy … In fact, before Dounia existed, they themselves were lured into the city by the Game Church.
Rorschach could understand this kind of hostility, but it didn't mean that he was willing to accept it.
"Is there any news from the other churches?"
The ones who were personally hostile towards him were the first four Level 7 churches. They relied on Vila Nova Dônia to earn a lot of money every day. Naturally, they didn't want other big shots to enter the city and share the spoils, even if the big shot's true goal wasn't the small market in front of them, but the entire city.
Their original plan was to bypass these direct competitors and obtain the help and understanding of the smaller churches at the bottom of the rankings.
[No response. Same as before.]
There really wasn't a single piece of good news in the feedback he received.
It seemed that he and the Game Church were completely isolated.
Rorschach sighed. Although this was within his expectations, it still made him sigh. After all, everyone had been getting along quite well for the past few years. Now, they had completely fallen out with each other.
"How's our internal situation?"
[Very stable. I've said everything that needs to be said. Everyone is quite supportive.]
Not only was Lori able to instantly understand this seemingly random question, but she even gave him excellent feedback.
Rorschach smiled in satisfaction. This was truly good news. It was still bearable to have external enemies and pressure, but if even their own people were to have conflicts, then it would be really troublesome.
[My priest mentioned the Dimensional War to them, so they're all very stable. There's still a difference between us and the other churches.]
These two sentences didn't seem to have any cause or effect, but Roxia felt like he had a sudden realization.
"That's right. There's a difference between us, and it's very big."
The Game Church was a new church. The characteristic of a new church was that the leadership, backbone, and grassroots were all locals. Their roots were in this area.
According to the most recent statistics, 99% of the Church of the Game's local members were local Seymour people … There was no point in continuing the statistics. Although there were quite a few Eich people among the core members, there were still a lot of locals.
As for the other large churches, their backbone, grassroots, and high-level leaders were all brought over. Their core interests weren't here.
Previously, the Game Church wasn't in a hurry at all. This was because they knew that as long as this area developed steadily, it would naturally develop.
If the Harlet Wasteland collapsed in the Dimensional War, the other churches would probably be able to move to other areas. However, the Game Church would be completely destroyed.
"Those bastards. They're still eyeing the no man's land at this time."
Rorschach understood. Griffin and the others weren't absolutely confident in the Dimensional War. Instead, they were worried that the Mage Country would snatch the secret of the no man's land and the opportunity to communicate with Titan.
Those bastards probably thought that it wouldn't matter even if they lost here. As long as they won the Dimensional War in the area where their headquarters were located, everything would be fine. Perhaps if the war became tense, the branch would even donate blood to the headquarters, even if the situation here was worse.
After all, the headquarters of the New God Church was where the New God's divine body (coffin) was located. It was a core that couldn't be abandoned.
"… Those bastards. I can't trust them too much anymore."
Rorschach's head hurt even more. The Dimensional War came too suddenly. The change in the situation caused many conditions and environments to change. Everyone wasn't used to it yet.
But now, they still had the final say in Vila Nova Dônia, even if the Game Church valued the area in front of them the most.
"Negotiate? No, that's meaningless. "
Rorschach shook his head. The other side had already formed a united front. It would be difficult to negotiate anything, and his side didn't have any bargaining chips to back down.
In that case, should he use his backup plan and directly lead his team to the no man's land?
"How's the construction over there?"
[Originally, the camp was only prepared for about thirty people. Now, it's expanded by more than ten times. Give them at least another half a month to prepare.]
After the Game Church's power had greatly increased, they began to explore the no man's land. With the help of other churches, they built their own outpost.
However, the Game Church had very few people before, so there were far too few descenders who had the ability to enter the no man's land. The camp's scale and requirements weren't large, so they designed it to only have three to five permanent residents. Rather than calling it an outpost, it was more accurate to call it an outpost.
Although it was temporarily remodeled, it was only based on the original limit of fifty people. The scale had to be expanded by ten times in a short period of time. It was already so tiring that the workers were dying. Previously, the plan had been adjusted, so fifty people became five hundred people. This was killing the construction workers.
"Why don't we bring them along and use them as laborers?"
The black-hearted Rorschach proposed his own idea.
But the next moment, he rejected it himself.
"The mortality rate is too high if they enter the no man's land without preparation. We should give them basic training and preparation. No matter how detailed the information is, it can't be compared to the actual operation. Whether it's physically or mentally, they all want a period of transitional training. "
Looking at the map in his hands, Rorschach had already found a suitable location.
Perhaps there was a more suitable environment for newcomers to adapt to than Vila Nova Dônia. At least there, the Game Church's power exceeded that of other New God churches.
"Cape Town. I didn't expect to return to the starting point."
