The Truth of Magic

Chapter 342 God Statue

"Does the holy emblem count?" Zhao Xu asked a question that he thought was a bit pointless.

"Master, this holy emblem was given to you by the church, not the goddess. It's just that you can show the power of the goddess through the holy emblem." Lacus retorted mercilessly.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu almost slapped his thigh suddenly.

Once, in order for Zhao Xu to awaken some priest abilities in advance, Leian specially borrowed him a "notebook" from the goddess.

That notebook can be regarded as a "token" for him.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu obtained the priest's abilities such as "Domain" and dispelling undead creatures directly at the same time, and immediately cast divine magic in one step.

So Lei An has always been envious of Zhao Xu's divine favor, but Zhao Xu himself has never come into contact with the real token of the goddess.

There are still a few notebooks of the goddess left in the "Legendary Library" on the top of the floating city, but Guanling Luduo warned him.

Reading those notes before reaching a certain level would only lead him into greater confusion, so Zhao Xu didn't borrow them either.

If the realm is not reached, troubles will increase.

Encountering this situation again now made Zhao Xu somewhat embarrassed.

"Then master, since you are so poor that you don't even have a token of the goddess, you will be in trouble." Lux's voice was full of doubts.

"Tell me directly about your original plan. Why do you need the goddess' token?" Zhao Xu asked calmly.

"Well, actually, I think we still have a possibility of a breakthrough, master, if you don't have the 'miracle technique' as a channel for divine power."

At this time, Lacus relied on her incomparably rich knowledge and said, "The other party will have to pay part of the price for blocking you in the Sacred Heart Cathedral."

"Master, have you ever thought about the so-called idol?"

Idol?

Zhao Xu once reached the "Land of the Sleepers" in the half-plane of the god of death, where he came into contact with the statue of the "God of Slaughter".

Later, in the "plot" that was briefly mentioned in "Road to God" three times, he did the same thing as Edmund, the god of slaughter, so that Zhao Xu obtained three supernatural powers from the statue.

Lay the foundation for him to finally get the godhead fragments of the god of death.

So Zhao Xu knew from that moment that the so-called statues were not just statues.

They are also carriers of divine power.

"You mean I can squeeze out a statue now?" Zhao Xu immediately asked Lux's intention, "Then the goddess can let her divine power descend directly into the statue?"

The goddess of magic who once mastered the magic net can control the magic energy channels of the entire world, but there are still powerful beings who can cast spells.

Here, the magic net is not all magic, but it is definitely the most effective channel to absorb spell energy.

It is also due to the existence of the magic net that the civilization of magic can flourish and promote the emergence of more mages.

Even the gods, when granting magic, they all use magic channels.

It is like a water pipe, connected to every household.

If there is no such pipe, you have to carry a bucket to the river to fetch water. In terms of efficiency and consumption, it is not as convenient as a water pipe.

And if the gods want to grant miracles, they themselves have to consider the issue of efficiency.

Otherwise, the gods can directly project their own divine power to kill all enemies, and there is no need to develop the power of believers at all.

As a nine-ring magical technique, the miracle technique itself can forcibly pull out a low-consumption "divine power" channel.

And the god statue, because it bears the imprint of the god itself, can also serve as a cheap "divine power transmission" channel carrier.

"That's right, but master, it's too late for you to just knead it with your hands, and if you don't have a craftsmanship (pottery) skill level above the 20th or 30th level, and the kind of immersion in religious books and portraits for decades, you can't knead it at all." That kind of charm." Lux explained.

Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

God statues have charm because of their "likeness".

The statue itself is a carrier, not just a limited carrier.

Even if it is a painting, if he draws it extremely realistically and conforms to a certain "spiritual charm", it can also produce the "imprint" of the gods and act as a carrier of divine power.

"Just relying on tokens is not enough, Lacus." Zhao Xu didn't just listen to Lacus' narration, he was also thinking.

"The token lacks the step from shape to spirit, and I don't have time to set up the ceremony." Zhao Xu analyzed based on the banned book "Gods and Demigods" he had read.

The token of the god can let him act as some kind of coordinate. If Zhao Xu has time to lay out complicated rituals, then the token of the god is definitely the key carrier.

However, he would definitely die if he dared to move around now.

"Hey, master, there is actually another way here. You think, most rituals are actually non-optimized and inefficient versions of the spell itself. So master, you can use illusion to conjure the appearance of a goddess, and then add another The token is used as a carrier to communicate the true and false words, then we can attract the will of the goddess."

Lacus' analysis is very clear and intuitive.

However, Zhao Xu still felt puzzled, "If you say that, doesn't it mean that as long as you have the token of the goddess and use illusion to transform into the appearance of the goddess, this effect can be achieved?"

Arthur was a little more realistic.

That is, if someone can easily achieve it, it must be easily replicated by others.

Therefore, spell data, advanced occupations, and specialties will become barriers that are difficult for others to imitate.

But regarding the usage of a certain spell, it cannot become an exclusive skill.

Things that can be obtained in one copy cannot form a barrier.

"That's right, if ordinary mages or priests use illusion to conjure up the appearance of a goddess, they will only look similar in appearance but not in spirit. But master, you are different." Lacus said earnestly.

Zhao Xu also suddenly realized at this moment.

His illusion can be similar in spirit.

Because he had seen Sisylvina.

In the long river of time, he did meet Sisylvina before she became the third-generation goddess of magic.

This also startled Zhao Xu a little.

This means that that scene has actually existed in history.

He has changed his "past" that never existed in the "now" when he sat on the throne of Austrian law.

"Can you give me an answer?" Grazte urged, pressing Zhao Xu again, asking Zhao Xu to give some vague possibility first.

"Master, there must be a way." Lux also felt the oppression of the approaching storm at this time, "If you die in front of Graz'zt, Master, there is a possibility that I will be exposed."

"At that time, the other party may directly pay a huge price, project more abilities over, and directly use methods to intercept me. So the master really has no choice but to turn me into an artifact and gamble."

At this moment, Zhao Xu also felt the rhythm of Lacus's heartbeat.

The rhythm of this rhythm let him know that Lacus might really be worried.

Just now, she didn't persuade Zhao Xu to turn her into an artifact to fight, because once Lux entered the form of an artifact, it meant that everything would never die.

And he couldn't completely obliterate the demon king whose body was in the abyss, so this secret would definitely be leaked.

This meant that Zhao Xu would never have peace.

Even if he escaped from birth, it would be the same.

The temptation of the seven main gods is not enough to really make the current gods give up everything.

Because they themselves are the main gods.

But what was mentioned in the prophecy, that it will never be easy, is enough to drive the gods crazy.

This means that the seven main gods in the prophecy will all become the eternal future, representing the order of the gods going to eternity.

The gods in the prophecy are truly immortal.

The gods who have already occupied the positions of the seven main gods are naturally happy to see that the seven main gods will soon become the final foregone conclusion.

And other powerful existences that do not fit the candidates in the prophecy, and even the gods themselves, on the one hand, try to make themselves close to the background in the prophecy, on the other hand, they also want to prevent everything from becoming a foregone conclusion before they succeed.

It is very likely that the powerful existence that violently prevented the Seven Gods from appearing just now, after becoming the Seven Gods, immediately pushed the Seven Gods to continue to appear.

Friends and enemies are always a blurred moment.

"How should I put it? Just a little bit more divinity other than Shen Yun is enough. As long as it can fill a little bit of the function of the token, the rest of the goddess will automatically fill in." Lacus said with a frown at this time.

As long as she intervenes by herself, these are easy to achieve.

However, she couldn't show the slightest ability in front of Graz'zt.

This ancient demon lord who has witnessed the appearance and fall of countless gods in the abyss is already a part of the years, and he can definitely identify the origin of Lux from the clues.

At that time, his request to Zhao Xu would not be just a promise, it would be as simple as that.

"Forget it, I'll destroy you." Graz'zt shook his head and said. At this time, his appearance has become more and more inflated, and he is getting closer to the black shadow behind him.

And the originally small alchemy elevator is getting bigger little by little, adapting to Graz'zt's figure.

"You can take a gamble on whether an abyss lord can successfully capture the souls of your players and invalidate all your resurrection stones." At this time, Graz'zt showed a cruel "smile" and continued to threaten.

"If you die completely, you will naturally not be able to become the corresponding destiny. Human beings, never underestimate the ability of a demon lord. It is not only spells and supernatural abilities that can read people's hearts."

At this moment, Grazte's demeanor had become merciless, as if he was about to kill Zhao Xu at any time.

"Master, I'm afraid it's really going to make a move." Lux said seriously.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's heart was clear and transparent, and his whole body's state slowly and synchronously returned to the state of a pious priest's morning prayer.

"Lax, can you get closer to God just a little more than the phantom?" Zhao Xu asked suddenly.

"Huh?" At this moment, Lux was a little dazed.

"No." Zhao Xu grinned and looked at the projection of Graz'zt in front of him. It had swelled and squeezed through the robe, revealing a demonic body with black scales and deep muscles.

"Sisylvina!"
