…
In the presidential suite of the Hilde Hotel in Los Angeles, Li Mochen sat in the meditation room with a puzzled look in his eyes. He looked thoughtfully at the Scarlet Dragon Armor that he had temporarily unsealed.
This mythical equipment that had been cursed by the three popes had a phenomenon that he couldn't understand. The Church of Light's curse and seal on the Scarlet Dragon Armor seemed to have loosened a little. But Li Mochen clearly didn't do anything. Although he had killed the Wind Serpent Ratasia and the nine legendary behemoths, the souls of these behemoths had been devoured by the Wind God's Tooth. Li Mochen didn't even use any of their blood on the Scarlet Dragon Armor.
But the curse of this mythical equipment had been shaken. The mental impact that Li Mochen felt was much weaker than before. He also tried to touch the armor. The previous 0.1 seconds of safe contact had increased to about 0.3 seconds.
And this situation seemed to have started after Li Mochen came to Los Angeles. Was it because Los Angeles was different, or was it because of something else?
Li Mochen couldn't figure it out. He used the Titan's Eye and the True Dragon's Vision at the same time and visualized the Divine Cloud Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune.
And this time, he made a wish: "I will see through the truth of this mythical equipment!"
As more than a hundred wisps of the aura of virtue on the pagoda dissipated, Li Mochen's two Spirit Vision spells changed at the same time. His vision directly pierced through the layers of magic arrays of the Scarlet Dragon Armor. When the core item entered his eyes, Li Mochen felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, and his spirit also seemed to swell.
Li Mochen immediately ended his vision. Then, his expression began to change, and he was surprised and happy.
Inside it … seemed to be a virtual divine title? And it was a divine title related to battle and war. It was roughly at the level of a Weak God. It didn't lack any divine authority, divinity, or divine fire.
But this wasn't the complete one. Its main part should be the Blood Crown hidden in the Teuton National Museum.
Emperor Barbarossa actually had the ambition to become a god?
Li Mochen shook his head. He put the Scarlet Dragon Armor back into the sealed box and threw it back into his spatial ring.
If the Scarlet Dragon Armor could be completely unsealed, it would undoubtedly be a joyous occasion for him. This mythical equipment would help him more than the Light Demon No. 8. However, it was still too early. There was no essential difference between 0.1 seconds and 0.3 seconds. Li Mochen was prepared to continue observing to see if there were any subsequent changes.
He knew that the Scarlet Dragon Armor's curse was loosening because of the Virtual Divine Title in the armor. This was most likely a combination of Law and faith. In other words, everything around him that was related to war and battle could help the Scarlet Dragon Armor break the curse.
In the West of this world, the gods were divided into the Ancient Gods, the God of Law, and the God of Faith.
The Ancient Gods relied on their own power. The path they took was similar to that of the Immortals of the East. They walked the path of strength. They were usually born when the world was created and received the gifts of the world. They were born close to the origin and truth, and they had incomparable power.
They were like the cultivators born in the prehistoric era in the Eastern Daoist Canon. In that era, Golden Immortals were as common as clouds and True Immortals were as common as rain. They were also born with great power.
But in the modern era, very few cultivators could reach this level. Their path of cultivation was far more difficult than that of the ancient beings. That was why there were Nine Tribulation Scattered Immortals. Cultivators had to accumulate power step by step and finally become a Spirit Immortal.
The God of Law, on the other hand, relied on the power of Law to exist. The most typical example was the Goddess of Liberty, which many people in America believed in. Many materials showed that the Goddess of Liberty, who rose from the French Revolution, was very likely the Goddess of Strife of the Greek Era, Eris. The divine power and law she controlled was strife. Any disputes and battles between humans and animals would help the power of the Goddess of Strife, Eris.
By now, the Goddess of Liberty had probably far surpassed the level of the God of Law. She even had the status of a Lord God.
The God of Faith, on the other hand, relied entirely on faith and the power of thoughts to maintain their divinity. Such gods were relatively rare in the world covered by the Church of Light and the Church of Truth. They were usually weak and had many flaws. Most of them were exterminated by the two monotheistic religions. Or they were incorporated and became an angel under the Lord of Light, who was regarded as the God of Light and the Lord of Truth.
Since the modern era, there were very few humans who could reach the threshold of the Ancient God through their own power. Therefore, the vast majority of demigod-level magical professionals in the West took the path of the God of Law and the God of Faith. Then, after accumulating enough power, they would find a way to become an Ancient God without relying on external forces, or they would walk a dark path.
Of course, there were also many powerful Ancient Gods who would take on the role of the God of Law and the God of Faith. This wouldn't affect their own path, but it could boost their power. This was similar to the situation in the East. Many Golden Immortals who had attained the Dao were also gods and emperors with vast divine power and divine might.
From Li Mochen's point of view, this Scarlet Dragon Armor undoubtedly contained the ambitions of Emperor Barbarossa. A virtual Godhood could allow this person to grasp the power of a god before becoming an Ancient God, and it could also free him from the negative effects of these two paths.
Unfortunately, the emperor failed on the verge of success. And the person who inherited it later couldn't figure out the nature of its power. Only battles, wars, and the watering of blood could restore its power.
Li Mochen guessed that the loosening of the curse had something to do with his two combat matches and the heated discussion in the city. This strengthened the power of the virtual Godhood, and also offset part of the curse.
But as for the specific situation, Li Mochen still had to wait and see.
Especially for the next two matches, he, Felton Williams, and Green Adams all had a large fan base. Their upcoming battle was a hot topic all over America, and it might allow the power of the virtual Godhood to continue recovering.
Li Mochen planned to monitor the changes of the Scarlet Dragon Armor during this period.
This wasn't because of the curse, and Li Mochen didn't mind using a simpler method to remove it. What he cared about was whether the virtual Godhood would affect him or not.
Li Mochen believed that he could cross the threshold of becoming an Immortal. As for the God of Law and the God of Faith, he temporarily stayed away from them.
Only after becoming a real Spirit Immortal would he consider external forces like this.
Next, Li Mochen took out ten fist-sized crystal bottles filled with blood. These were all from his recent hunts.
Although most of the essence blood of those giant beasts was sucked by the Tooth of the Wind God, and the rest was sent to the Rising Sun Biology Laboratory for research on Biomass Gear, Li Mochen still kept some of the blood essence.
He was prepared to use the blood essence of the giant beasts to cultivate a secret technique with great lethality. It would be another trump card for him.
But before Li Mochen could start, there was a knock on the meditation room's door.
