"Existence means that it's reasonable? Heh heh. "
The magical power of accelerated thinking had already begun to fade, and the frozen scenery began to move again. Facing the evil cultists charging at him, Roland smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Lori …"
[Got it. Do whatever you want. Nobody will know what's going to happen next.]
The God's Chosen had always been under the God's gaze. The brother and sister had merged together in a unique way. The God's will descended and then instantly left.
The God's power that was consumed blocked off all observers. Everything that was about to happen here would become a secret.
If the God's Chosen had different levels as well, Rorschach's Chosen couldn't even be described as "super".
Gods, even if they had their own Divine Kingdoms, spent most of their energy on protecting their own Divine Kingdom and Divine Kingdom. They mostly ignored the prayers and communication of their believers. Even the most intimate of God's Chosen would only occasionally receive a word or two from the God's Chosen.
This wasn't simply because they wanted to keep their distance from the God's Chosen. Instead, it was because the distance between them increased the consumption of God's power. Even the most devout God's Chosen would cause the transmission of God's power to become poor, which would greatly consume God's power. At the same time, chatting with a Concept God for too long wasn't necessarily a good thing for the believers.
Perhaps the believers would become more in tune with the God's Ideals due to their connection with the God, which would increase their power as priests, Holy Knights, and other Divine Concepts. But at the same time, being in contact with a mega-scale Concept God (God) for too long would cause them to be brainwashed … or baptized.
Those brainless fanatics were often the result of having all sorts of supernatural existences chatting with them. For the Gods, this wasn't necessarily a good deal. What they needed were people who could work for them in the mortal world. Fanatics who mindlessly sang hymns … Wasn't that what the God's Chosen job class for? Their hymns would never end, and the purity of their faith would far surpass that of mortals.
Of course, there were also requirements for such existences. Idiots with high faith purity … Devout believers would easily be able to reach a resonance with a God. They would only need to expend a little divine power to rapidly grow. It would also be convenient for them to transmit a God's will. It would be even better if their bloodline came from the same source as the God. That would greatly reduce the amount of divine power they expended. They would also be able to play God's Descent whenever they were bored. This was the best choice for a pope, spokesperson, or Saint.
The New Gods were the same. In essence, they were no different from the Aishi God's system. That system was originally a simplified version of the Aishi God's system, but in order to adapt to the development of the new era, they used various systems and point systems to strengthen the connection between superiors and subordinates, reducing the sense of obedience.
But in fact, everything was just an illusion. It was hard to tell how much the relationship between the boss and his subordinates had changed from the past.
However, the situation between Lori and Rorschach was somewhat different.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of multiple God's Descent, or perhaps it was due to the similarity of their DNA, or perhaps it was due to the fact that the two souls were originally a complete set, or perhaps it was due to Rorschach's natural talent, or perhaps it was even due to the combination of all the above elements. The result was that the connection between Lori and Rorschach was so close that it was beyond common sense. There was no obstruction in the transmission of divine power and divine sense.
To put it bluntly, other believers were in the era when the 2G network was first introduced. Not only would there be no signal if they were slightly away, but the network speed was also ridiculously slow and the cost was ridiculously high. However, Rorschach and Lori were connected via the 5G network.
The consumption was extremely low. As long as they did not leave this wasteland, the signal would be super good most of the time. In fact, Rorschach himself could even be a hotspot (faith node) and provide the network for others.
Therefore, if they wanted to kill Rorschach, they could only rely on a surprise attack. Otherwise, as long as they had enough time to prepare, once Lori and Rorschach were connected, the difficulty of killing them would increase exponentially. It was like a Level-10 Mini Boss suddenly becoming a Level-30 Demigod.
In a sense, Rorschach also felt that there must be a traitor at the root. Apart from the higher-ups of the Game Church, it was unlikely that anyone else would know about this.
Ahem, ahem. This was also the source of Rorschach's confidence that he would not advance in a short period of time. The sign of becoming a Demigod was to be able to use part of the power of concepts, and divine power was probably the most common power of concepts. Whether or not he advanced did not affect him as much as he imagined.
"Accelerated Thinking."
"Mechanized Mind."
With a snap of his fingers and a standardized trigger, two low-level spells were activated.
The former was a nature magic spell. It was a simplified version of the previous "Life Observation" spell. However, the main purpose of this spell was to increase the speed of one's thoughts. If Rorschach, a quasi SemiGod who specialized in nature, was the one who used this spell, just the acceleration of one's thoughts would be enough to turn one minute into an hour.
As for the latter, it could make the spellcaster's way of thinking more rational. But believe me, no one liked this feeling.
A rigid, numb, and overly rational mind meant that it was filled with the smell of machinery and metal. It meant that all thoughts were based on logical deduction and not rational judgment. However, it would not change the upper limit of one's thinking and magic resistance. What should be controlled would still be controlled, and what should be brainwashed would still be brainwashed.
It was to guard against the illusion that one's self was being deceived, and not a robber who used brute force to break through one's door.
Usually, spellcasters would leave one or two scrolls to resist various mind-reading and deceiving Mind Warlocks, or the charming red lips of Succubi from the Lower Plane. After all, Succubi were not magic, but their power was far beyond ordinary mind spells.
"Sage Time. No matter how much time has passed, I'm still not used to this feeling …"
In the world of spellcasters, "Sage Time" was probably an overly apt description. What Rorschach wanted to do now was to eliminate his own emotional thinking and make more rational deductions about what was to come.
In Rorschach's eyes, the existence of the Evil God's Eye of Wisdom was obvious. It was the collection of the Concept of "seeking knowledge," pure and simple. Perhaps it was this purity that made it so powerful.
Rorschach and Lori had long since completed research on an old acquaintance like the "Eye of Wisdom" and a mortal enemy that they would most likely meet in the future. However, since "samples" were difficult to preserve, some of the experiments had no results. Now that they met one, they naturally had to try it out.
"Experiment Number 7099, Physical Experiment Number 001, Life Observation."
Evil Gods were existences of Concepts. They were the sublimation of mortals. However, in Rorschach's eyes, they were also a part of his life. Since they were Concepts, this meant that they could be targeted.
The omnipresent eyeball that made Rorschach feel disgusted was the collection of the desire for knowledge. After the Evil God's Concept entered this world, it directly transformed into reality. Since the eyeball represented his own Concept of existence, then it also had to conform to the structure and functions of a real organ.
"Let's make your eyes even sharper."
What Rorschach cast wasn't an offensive spell. This was a support divine spell that he created himself to improve his eyesight.
This type of magic was quite common among ranger divine spells and nature divine spells. After all, the most basic ability of archers and sentinels was long-distance vision. Low-level divine spells used divine power and magic to strengthen their organs. Middle-level divine spells made your eyeball mutate. For example, high-level divine spells imitated the eyes of an eagle.
The highest-level divine spells could even open up the perspective of other dimensions and use additional eyes to look into the distance. For example, shadow priests could observe the Shadow Plane and use the coordinates of their opponent's shadow projection in the Shadow Plane to deduce the coordinates of the real person several kilometers away.
As for Rorschach's Life, Sharp Eyes, the principle behind it was … all the above.
Yes, this wasn't a simple support spell that improved one's eyesight. It was more like a package of spells that improved one's eyesight.
Under the effects of Rorschach's spell, an unlucky person with four eyeballs on his face instantly became distorted.
Some of his eyes overflowed with light, some turned into the eyes of beasts, and some instantly exploded. Then, his entire body began to distort and change.
"Eh, it's effective. This is good news …"
But then, Rorschach frowned. The person's entire body changed. Some of them had eyeballs on their shoulders, and some even had their entire lower limbs become distorted eyeball limbs.
"… My spell shouldn't affect the parts other than the eyeballs. Then, after being corroded by the Evil God's power, his entire body transformed into a 'visual organ'. How scary. Then, it means that the moment he connected with the Evil God, he was no longer himself. "
Although it was a bit of a mouthful, Rorschach's meaning was obvious. It indirectly verified the Aishi's propaganda. From the moment the cultists received the Evil God's power, they had already become a part of the Evil God.
The distortion continued. The two-meter-tall "test subject" had two to three hundred eyeballs densely packed all over its body. That malicious posture frightened even the other cultists, let alone outsiders.
"Puff!"
Then, there was a sound like air being deflated. That deformed monster directly turned into ashes.
In just a short ten seconds, it reached its limit. This result made Rorschach nod at first, but then he shook his head.
He nodded. His Divine Arts had taken effect, and there was nothing wrong with his train of thought. Life had a limit. Using a spell to "increase the eyeball's ability" to increase its ability would naturally lead to its end if it exceeded its limit.
But shaking his head was a more practical reason …
"… It's not practical. I used three to four times the amount of divine power to overload this little carrier of the Evil God's power. It's not worth it."
The Evil God had a limit, and so did the cultists' physical bodies. But to make the product of the two exceed his own limit, Rorschach realized that he needed to pay too much.
"Consumed 0.37 standard units of divine power. Test subject number 001 died. Test subject number 7099 failed. Evaluation: Not worth it. No practical use. Test record sealed … "
As Rorschach muttered to himself, the large tome at his waist flipped slowly. Words flashed across it.
"… No need to rush. There are still many test subjects. We have even more test plans prepared. We will find a suitable one. Test subject number 002 is confirmed. A high-level cultist? Heh, I hope it's more durable than the previous one. Test number 7100 begins. Life crystal reflection simulation … "
In the area sealed by the God of Games, everything was just the beginning. Tonight might be an unusually long night.
