"Plague, poison, death... Look at what terrible scars and pain you have brought to this world!"
Ai Luolin's whole body was emitting a dazzling golden light, and she scolded in a tone full of severity and incomparable hatred.
Obviously, the one controlling this body at this moment is no longer the innocent young paladin, but Ilmater, the god of suffering whom she serves.
After a short while, this famous "Sufferer" in Faerun was separated from the body of the believer, and with the help of divine power, he formed a male incarnation with wounds and scars all over his body.
Some of the wounds were even bleeding, while others showed large burn marks.
This is the scar he bears for the suffering he endured for the whole world.
The incarnation of Ilmater was naked, with only a piece of old and tattered cloth around his waist, looking as shabby as a beggar on the roadside who had been hungry for several days.
But that awe-inspiring, sacred and inviolable majesty, as well as the kindness in his eyes, all proved his identity.
The god, with a strong sense of anger in his heart, bent down and gently brushed his hands over the withered and decaying plants and land.
moment!
All the plants and animals that had died from the energy explosion just now came back to life in an instant, and even the polluted land began to slowly return to normal.
Only those followers of Talona are still suffering from the erosion of viruses, bacteria and toxins.
But at the same time, there was another very obvious sign of decay on the body of the God of Suffering.
This is the God who voluntarily endured pain and suffering for the entire world.
He is also the most widely respected god in the continent of Faerun, and is regarded as the last hope and spiritual sustenance by all children, the poor, and slaves.
Ilmater would shelter the souls of infants and children who died before they could develop faith, and would have her priests give final blessings to those who were about to die, and even provide free medical treatment in places where war broke out.
Seeing the God of Suffering finally show up, Zuo Si, who was originally in extreme tension, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly concentrated all his energy on the out-of-control energy in his body.
It was clear that he had no desire to be drawn into the eternal struggle between the two gods.
I don't want to be chosen by Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.
Because such a fight that has no winner is meaningless.
It is not difficult to see from the number, camps and duties of the gods of Faerun that Io, the supreme god of gods, pursues a balance, a balance between order and chaos, and a balance between good and evil.
Almost every god has at least one or two mortal enemies. They are wary of each other and restrain each other, forming an intricate non-relationship network in which any move can affect the entire body.
This means that the good god cannot defeat the evil god, and the evil god cannot defeat the good god.
However, the two incarnations of gods in front of them obviously did not think so.
After a brief silence, Talona quickly climbed up from the broken altar and stared at the God of Suffering with hatred in her eyes.
"It's you again! Why do you always come to ruin my good deeds, damn it?"
"Because that child does not belong to you. He neither believes in your teachings nor is he your follower. So don't even think about using him to achieve your own ulterior evil purposes." Ilmater scolded unceremoniously.
"No! He belongs to me! No matter the beautiful and deadly viruses and bacteria in his body, or the world destroyed by the plague. Don't try to stop me." Talona roared like a madman.
At this moment, in front of her old enemy, she no longer had any of her previous beauty.
The incarnation's expression began to become more and more hideous and terrifying, especially the evil light emitted from its two eyes, which made anyone who looked into its eyes feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ilmater was used to this and said in a very calm voice: "Don't dream. I will never allow you to turn it into a furnace of poison and plague, and I will never allow you to touch the world without God. Your evil plan will not succeed."
"I'm sorry, you're late. Just now, I have given him my divine power, as well as all the viruses, bacteria, and highly toxic substances in the world. No matter how you interfere, he is my child, the only one I have chosen in the material world."
After saying this, a smug smile appeared on Talona's face.
Immediately afterwards, without even a second's pause, her avatar activated the inter-dimensional portal and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing their goddess running away, the high-level priests whose bodies were filled with all kinds of terrible viruses, bacteria and highly toxic substances immediately screamed in despair.
"No!!!!!!!"
"Great Lady of Toxic! Don't go!"
"Please have mercy on us, the devout believers!"
"Ahhhh! My magic! All my magic is gone!"
"Oh my God! We've been abandoned!"
"Why? Why is this happening? We have clearly completed the oracle!"
With heart-wrenching wails, the remaining high-ranking priests all realized that they had been abandoned by the evil Talona.
Under the double torture of the collapse of faith and the loss of divine power, as well as the severe physical pain, they soon breathed their last one after another.
Even Isolde, who was given a special symbol on her forehead, was no exception.
Facts have once again proven that one should never believe in an evil and chaotic god.
Because of their volatile style, all your efforts will go to waste in a matter of seconds.
In comparison, although lawful evil gods are also terrible, at least they will not abandon their believers, and will not vent their anger on others for no reason or over trivial matters.
The moment everyone died, their corpses completely rotted and decomposed in less than a few seconds, turning into balls of black energy that gathered again at Zuo Si's feet and were eventually absorbed by his body.
"Damn it! What on earth have I become now?"
Seeing this scene, Zuo Si couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and at the same time realized how dangerous he was now.
As the unique divine power of the Goddess of Poison and Plague began to take effect, he could feel that his body had truly become a melting pot of various bacteria, viruses, and highly toxic substances, which were fighting, merging, and evolving with each other almost every moment.
If things continue like this, it won’t be long before he himself becomes a veritable “mobile disaster”.
Once it breaks out in a crowded place, it will immediately kill all life within a radius of hundreds of meters, even plants are no exception.
The land beneath our feet will become a dead land with no grass growing on it due to the infiltration of highly toxic substances.
Although Zuo Si can still control these terrible things through the power given by Talona.
But he knew very well that the final switch was always in the hands of the other party.
Perhaps the only good news is that when all viruses, bacteria and highly toxic substances are released in the form of energy, the mortality rate is almost maximum.
Most of the creatures that were swept by the black, flame-like energy would die suddenly within a very short time.
This means that the possibility of large-scale infection and spread through population movement is very low.
But the bad news is that it also causes terrible and persistent pollution to the environment.
If an outbreak occurs in a city, the city will basically be completely destroyed and will no longer be habitable.
"Kid, I think we should talk."
After forcing Talona away, Ilmater quickly turned his attention to Zuo Si.
"Can you help me solve the current trouble?" Zuo Si raised his head and asked directly.
Obviously, he doesn't want to be a "moving disaster" at all.
Even more, she does not want to carry out indiscriminate massacres or destroy a city every once in a while, just to demonstrate the power of the goddess of poison and disease and to terrify and frighten ordinary people.
Ilmater shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, I can't. Because you are not kind, you can't bear my divine power of goodness. But I have a way to temporarily restrain Talona so that she can't control the dangerous things in your body."
"What is the solution?"
Zuo Si's eyes sparkled as he stared at the god who had the best reputation in the continent of Faerun.
Because he knew that except for seeking help from another god, he had no way to escape Talona's control.
"It's very simple! That is to use another evil divine power to offset Talona's divine power."
As he spoke, Ilmater slowly walked to the adamantium box that had fallen next to the broken altar.
He just tapped twice on the divine runes on the surface, and the box, which was originally closed without a single gap, made a crisp sound.
Then it opened automatically with a click, revealing a dark red heart inside.
What is incredible is that this heart with a hole in the middle is still beating weakly after being away from its owner for such a long time.
Although the blood had obviously dried up long ago, it still emitted a strong, pungent smell of blood, as if there was a sea of blood and corpses in front of one's eyes.
And as his heart beat violently, Zuo Si felt an involuntary strong bloodthirsty impulse and desire to kill in his heart, and he wished he could find a living thing to kill immediately.
Such an unusual situation immediately made him alert. He shook his head desperately to drive away those messy thoughts, and then asked softly: "Whose heart is this?"
“The heart of Baal, the late god of murder.
He had recently been slain by Cyric with the Godslayer sword on the Winding River near Baldur's Gate during the Time of Troubles.
Later, the heart was washed into the sea by the current and drifted with the waves to the harbor near the mouth of the Chongsa River in Baldur's Gate.
Almost everyone who touches this heart will be affected by the terrifying killing power, and eventually the entire family will die.
In a way, this heart represents the glory of Cyric killing a god as a mortal, while still retaining a bit of Baal's power.
That is why the chosen one Malik tried every means to obtain it and offer it as a sacrifice to his master.
But he's not the only one who wants this heart.
Manshoon of the Zhentarim, Sazastan of the Red Coven, and the Lords of the Symbols who are trying to lure you into complete depravity have all shown a keen interest in it.
Even Talona, who had just arrived, would have been happy to take this power for herself if I hadn't arrived in time.
After all, with this divine power, she can create a Son of God who possesses both her own divine power and the power of Baal, and then at some point in the future, personally participate in the fight for the throne of the God of Murder.
If the God of Murder's position is taken away, then Talona will be promoted from a weak divine power to a medium divine power, and may even become a powerful divine power in the future.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing for the whole world.”
Ilmat explained in a slightly low voice.
From his attitude, it can be seen that he is full of naked and undisguised disgust for this heart belonging to Baal, the god of murder, and he even wants to destroy it directly.
"Wait! Did you mention the Lord of Symbols just now?"
Zuo Si keenly grasped a key word.
To be honest, he was not interested in the battle between gods.
On the contrary, after hearing that famous evil organizations like the Zhentarim and the Red Wizards were targeting him, he felt a little pressure.
Ilmater smiled and replied, "Yes. Otherwise, what do you think the purpose of the game in the desert and the Book of the Dead found at the bottom of the ancient tomb is? The book contains countless knowledge and mysteries about necromancy, which will make the mage unconsciously indulge in it until his body, mind and consciousness are completely assimilated.
Ragon, the second leader of the Tangled Symbol, has used the same method to successfully corrupt one young man after another who is either ambitious or thirsty for power over the years.
I have given many revelations to my church in Calimshan, hoping that they can find and destroy these evil undead creatures.
It's a pity that the Entanglement Talisman is hidden too deeply, and its style of action is extremely cautious, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find any useful clues from those clues.
As a god, I cannot descend into the world of mortals for no reason and personally deal with a group of mortals.
After all, God has his own dignity. Unless mortals take the initiative to provoke or attack first, we cannot act rashly.
So you better be careful! Because he's got his eyes on you now.
And the Book of the Dead is the best proof.
I can tell you clearly that in the hundreds of years since Ragon came to power, almost everyone who became the Lord of the Symbol, without exception, obtained it through various means while still in normal life form.
I don't want to see you in this organization in the future.
By the way, the glove you are wearing is actually a cursed item, and they have very bad intentions towards you."
"The Entangled Talisman... The Magic Talisman Society... I see. If it's this organization, then everything makes sense."
A small amount of information about the entanglement symbol flashed through Zuo Si's mind.
The only thing he knew at the moment was that the current leader of the organization was a powerful lich named Ragon, and there was also a lich named Shangela, the Lord of the Symbols.
The latter set up a portal in the Athkatra Bridge district of Amn's capital.
You only need to carry an expensive "Thief Stone" with you to open this portal and directly reach the opponent's lair.
As for how to find this portal, it will probably take some effort.
After all, reality is not a game. There are at least tens of thousands of people living in the bridge area of Athkatla, and the number of buildings is too numerous to count.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si lowered his head and glanced at the [Dragon Transformation Gloves], and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is there anything wrong with this glove?
I had a very strange dream after using it once.
In the dream, I was fighting with a wounded blue dragon, then I tore off a piece of flesh from its body and swallowed it.
Prior to this, I also found that my strength, physique and perception attributes had been greatly improved. "
"Of course! There's an injured old blue dragon sealed inside it. Every time you use it, you're fighting against the old dragon's strong will to survive.
You were lucky last time, you defeated the blue dragon and took the power from him.
Otherwise, you will lose your Constitution attribute.
Until he became weaker and weaker, and had to transform himself into a lich to survive. "
Ilmat explained patiently.
"Damn it! I knew that Ebenee Abbott had no good intentions when he showed his affection for no reason."
Zuo Si couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Just when he wanted to take off his gloves, he suddenly found that he couldn't take them off no matter what.
The blue leather scales seemed to be glued to the skin, or had become a part of it.
There is no doubt that this glove is 100% cursed item based on this point alone.
Because only cursed items cannot be taken off once put on.
But Zuo Si didn’t understand how the other party managed to hide the curse?
Even the [Identification Technique] did not find anything abnormal.
Normally, all cursed items should be exposed under the identification skill.
Just when Zuo Si was about to try to remove the curse, Ilmater suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't waste your energy.
That was not an ordinary curse, but the obsession of the blue dragon that had lost its power, which could not be removed by removing the curse.
Unless you are willing to sacrifice your own physical strength to fully recover from his injuries, he will not let you go easily.
What's more, you are now a chosen one and have powerful divine power in your body. You don't have to worry about the blue dragon drawing power from your body.
Quite the contrary, every time you use it from now on, you will directly draw life force from it until it is completely devoured."
"So I'm going to be a dragon?"
Zuo Si's expression suddenly became very strange.
Although becoming a dragon can not only gain powerful strength and a long life of thousands of years, he still prefers to maintain his human identity.
“No, not into a dragon.
Instead, you get a transformation effect that is quasi-permanent and can be used at any time.
But physical fitness, defense, magic resistance, etc. will slowly move towards the direction of the dragon.
Even the innate spell-like abilities unique to awakened dragons.
But your race and bloodline will not change.
This is a very evil and ancient magic that takes away the life essence and consumes the entirety of a dragon.
Only a handful of dragons know the secret, and use it to steal power from their own kind, making themselves even more powerful and invincible.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the work of the dragon lich in the entangled symbol.
He had done this more than once before he died.
There is also an ancient red dragon named Klaus in the North who likes to eat dragon eggs. He is also using a similar method to increase his size, health, and vitality. This is actually an extension of this evil magic.
After you completely devour this injured blue dragon, you should be able to feel and understand something from it.
Okay. Now is not the time to discuss these trivial matters.
Let us continue with the topic we were discussing, which is to use the remaining power of the Heart of Baal to restrain Talona."
Ilmater said as he raised the heart emitting evil and murderous energy in his hand.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of the God of Suffering, a mere injured old blue dragon sealed in a glove is not worth wasting too much attention.
"You mean... to use the remaining power of Baal to fight against the power of Talona?"
Zuo Si seemed to understand something and was so shocked that he was speechless.
He suddenly realized that the God of Suffering before him had already observed everything in secret and had prepared emergency measures in advance.
And the box containing the heart of Baal, the god of murder, is the best proof.
Perhaps when Alena had a conflict with the team transporting the box, this god was watching everything happening from above.
Even if nothing unexpected happened that night, the other party would have obtained the box in other ways and sent it to him.
Ilmater nodded seriously: "That's right! Talona was once a subordinate god of Baal, the god of murder.
They were very close in thought, doctrine, philosophy and values, and even their priesthoods were a perfect match.
因此当巴尔的神力进入你体内之后，不会引发塔洛娜神力的剧烈排斥反应，而且还能牢牢占据主导权。
最重要的是，谋杀之神巴尔已死，你不必担心有谁能操纵这股神力。
至于那些巴尔之子，他们还需要几年的时间成长，才会意识到自己体内所蕴含的力量。
等他们开始通过自相残杀争夺自己父亲遗留下来的邪恶王座时，你应该已经能够熟练运用和掌握这股力量。”
“我不明白，剧毒与疾病女神为什么一定要让我这个根本不信仰她的人来做选民？她难道没有什么更好的选择了吗？”
沉默了良久之后，左思提出了一个困扰自己的问题。
因为如果对方仅仅是想要身体里那些变异的病毒和细菌，刚才完全可以在唾液接触的时候直接吸走。
但塔洛娜并没有这样做。
刚好相反！
她把自己体内的病毒、细菌和剧毒物质全部注入了左思的身体里。
与这些东西一起进入的，还有那独一无二的神力。
伊尔玛特不加思索的回应道：“原因很简单。你虽然并不信仰塔洛娜，但行事风格却完美符合了她的思想和理念。
试想一下，你是不是很喜欢给敌人下毒？
是不是一直想利用身体里那些致命的病毒和细菌来更轻松的杀死对手？ 只要你一直这样做，塔洛娜就能从中获得她想要的东西，那就是凡人的敬畏和恐惧。
因为随着时间的推移，你的这些所作所为会渐渐流传开，被越来越多的人知晓。
到时候不少满怀野心的家伙就意识到，相比起利刃跟魔法，其实剧毒和瘟疫才是更好的杀戮手段。
届时你取得的地位越高，就会有越多的人尝试进行模仿。
自然地，剧毒与瘟疫女神的信徒数量跟影响力也会变得与日俱增。
更何况在你的身后，还有一个没有任何神明诞生，却正在遭受瘟疫蹂躏的世界。
塔洛娜想要利用你帮助她获得这个世界。
对于神来说，没什么比成为某个世界唯一的信仰更具有诱惑力了。
除此之外，你本人其实也很特别。
尤其是你的身体和灵魂，都蕴含着某种即便是神也无法看透的秘密。
我想塔洛娜肯定注意到了这一点，所以想要抢在其他神注意到之前，先一步将你收入囊中。
总之，你很特别，比你自己想象中的还要特别。
从来到费伦的那一刻起，就有许多的神已经注意到了你的存在。”
“原来如此……”
左思终于明白了剧毒与瘟疫女神的想法和目的，紧跟着又追问道：“那为什么您不采用更简单直接的方式，比如说通过杀死我或者囚禁我来确保费伦的安全呢？毕竟破坏永远比建设容易，杀人也永远比救人更容易。”
“杀死和囚禁一个主观意上没有任何伤害别人意图的受害者？”
伊尔玛特轻笑着摇了摇头。
“不！那样做可算不上善良和正义。
虽然一个世界因为你而毁灭，可这并非出自你的本意，不是吗？
就连那些残忍无情的暴君，我都会尽可能让信徒的去劝导他们向善，而不是使用暴力将其杀死。
更不用提你这种内心之中还保留着良知与底线，未来拥有无限可能的年轻人。
请记住，孩子。
也许你做不到像圣武士那样为了善良和正义舍弃一切，但也请千万不要成为那种为了权力和利益不择手段的卑劣之徒。
我希望你能给这个世界带来一些改变，一些好的改变。”
“请放心。我个人对于权力并不怎么感兴趣，也不喜欢闲着没事策划各种阴谋诡计，更不会去无缘无故伤害无辜的人。而且在不触及核心利益的情况下，我也不介意去帮助那些需要帮助的人。”
左思单手抚胸向苦难之神深深的鞠了一躬，同时郑重其事的给出保证。
“这样就足够了。
另外……
我对你收留那些感染兽化症的可怜孩子，没有让他们惨死在卡林港街头非常满意。
好好保管这份良知，无论在任何时候都不要摒弃它。
因为来自异世界的你并不是那种传统意义上的好人或者坏人。
当你感到迷茫的时候，这份良知可以保护你，让你永远不会堕入黑暗之中。
如果方便的话，就请多去帮帮那些挨饿受冻的孩子。
他们是这个世界赐予所有人最宝贵的财富和礼物。”
说罢，伊尔玛特浮现出和蔼的笑容，抬起满是疤痕的右手，从谋杀之神巴尔破损的心脏中抽出一股充满血腥味的暗红色神力，将其慢慢注入到左思的身体里。
随着最后残存的神力被抽干，那颗原本还在跳动的心脏突然之间变得干裂、枯萎，散发出一种语言无法形容的腐朽气息。
与此同时，左思也发现属于巴尔的神力一进入身体，立刻就开始与塔洛娜的神力交汇、融合。
当两股神力死死纠缠在一起再也无法分开的时候，那种一直被窥探的感觉终于瞬间消失了。
接下来他要做的，就是一点一点把这两股交汇到一起的神力通过火花的力量吸收、消化，彻底变成属于自己的东西。
等左思睁开眼睛的时候，赫然发现苦难之神伊尔玛特的化身早已不知去向，只有躺在空地上昏迷不醒的艾罗琳。
尤其是她脖子上那个护身符，已经彻底失去神力加持，变成了一个微不足道的魔法物品。
而这个年轻的圣武士则像是在做梦一样，嘴里不停嘟囔着让人听不清楚的话语，整个人从头到脚散发着圣洁的光芒。
毫无疑问，这是来自苦难之神伊尔玛特的赐福。
因为艾罗琳成功完成了自己的任务和使命。
“病毒、细菌、毒素，还有血腥与杀戮的力量……真不知道这些神力被火花吸收消化后会变成什么东西。”
左思用只有自己才能听见的声音小声嘀咕了一句。
经过这一晚上的折腾，他只感觉身心俱疲，简直比经历了一场大战还累。
毕竟这次面对的可是两位互相敌对的神明化身。
幸好！
苦难之神伊尔玛特比传说中还要友善、温和且乐于助人。
不仅主动帮忙解除了塔洛娜造成的巨大隐患，并且告知了关于纠缠符记等好几个邪恶组织的动向。
光凭这一点，左思就决定以后“粉”这位神明一辈子。
不然的话他可能还被继续蒙在鼓里呢。
以后凡是路过伊尔玛特的神殿，别的不说，先捐献个几百上千金币意思一下。
反正这些钱最后肯定都是拿去救济穷人和失去父母无家可归的儿童，基本等于变相做慈善了。
至于那个正在遭受瘟疫侵蚀的世界，左思短时间内没有想要回去的打算。
尤其是在得知剧毒与疾病女神想要通过自己把信仰也带过去。
只有当有足够的力量之后，他才会回去清理或是控制所有的不死生物，将整个浮空城变成属于自己的一个基地。
不过这件事也给左思提了个醒。
既然塔洛娜想要那个没有任何神诞生的世界，那么费伦其他神是不是也会有类似的想法呢？ 要知道再怎么说，那也是一颗居住着无数智慧生命的星球。
而且等瘟疫肆虐结束，前往其他岛屿、大陆的逃难者，还有对外界封闭起来的城市、村庄，很快便能再次繁衍生息，锐减的人口用不了多久便会恢复。
这对于一个神来说，简直就是最佳传播信仰的机会。
凡人越是在痛苦绝望的时候，往往就越容易产生信仰。
不用多，只需要一颗信仰的种子，甚至是一个神的名讳，通过不断的传播和扩散，就能撕裂时空让位于另外一个位面或者晶壁的神聆听到。
届时该神明就能通过尝试与信徒建立稳定的联系，从而降临一个非常弱小的化身或者圣者。
然后在化身或圣者的带领下传播教义、进行祭祀活动，最终在该世界获取神职并成为一个名副其实的真神。
由于是没有神的世界，所以第一个进入的神将会很快凭借垄断建立起庞大的势力，从而让那些后来的神无法与其进行竞争。
总之，一个无神的世界对于神来说就像是摆在橱窗里的美味蛋糕。
虽然能够看得到，但是却没办法吃到。
只有像左思这样拥有明确坐标点和自由穿梭能力的旅法师，才能帮助神把信仰撒播到其他世界去，从而最终吃到这块美味的蛋糕。
但是很可惜，他本人对此严重缺乏兴趣。
趁着圣武士小姐还没有醒来，左思召唤出了“遗产”查看自己身体的变化。
结果不看不知道，一看吓一跳。

[Priest (Voter Reward)——LV5]
[Special Abilities]
[Chosen One: You are chosen by Talona, the God of Poison and Disease. Your body is filled with the divine power she bestowed upon you. Therefore, you will not feel tired even if you do not sleep for several days (but you need to rest to restore your spell slots). You can breathe underwater and are immune to all diseases, toxins, curses, charms, mind control, and emotional magic. You also gain a large number of abilities of the Chosen One.
Among them, those that are continuously effective include: "Protection from Energy Damage (all attributes, after the damage taken reaches the upper limit, it takes 24 hours to recover)", "Anti-death Barrier", "Divine Grace", "Freedom of Movement", "Identify Lies", "Aid", "Spell Resistance", "Walking on Water", and "Air Walking".
In addition, you can use "cause fatal wounds" three times, "advanced dispel magic" three times, "feeblemindedness" twice, "expulsion" twice, "badge of pain" once, and "kill" once every day.
When casting "Epidemic", "Poison", "Plague Swarm" and "Curse", no preparation is required and they can be used repeatedly without limit.
The duration and power of the above spells are all equivalent to those cast by a LV20 priest.
You can also release deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins in your body in the form of energy to attack any enemy within a radius of 100 meters (either a single attack or an indiscriminate group attack), causing them to inevitably become sick or poisoned.
This energy attack ignores differences in the target's physique and immune system to diseases. Even alien creatures such as demons and devils are not immune.
Anyone who is poisoned and sick cannot be cured through ordinary "removing disease" and "neutralizing poison", and various magic potions can only temporarily suppress the symptoms.
The only way to avoid physical death is to transform oneself into a construct, spirit, or undead creature, or to use [Miracle] or [Wish]
The bodies of all killed creatures will be completely decomposed and reabsorbed by you in the form of energy.
Every time a ball of energy is absorbed, one can restore one's own vitality and gain the temporary ability to quickly heal wounds and regenerate severed limbs.
If you are not injured when absorbing energy, you will automatically be transformed into a temporary "false life" that lasts for one hour.
This ability can be used three times a day to make indiscriminate group attacks, or convert one indiscriminate group attack into ten single attacks.
You can decide for yourself whether the viruses and bacteria that enter the target's body are actually contagious.
Similarly, you can also use this ability to absorb viruses, bacteria, and toxins from other people's bodies to restore poisoned or sick people to health.
Note that when using this ability for healing, each attack is equivalent to the consumption of a single attack.]
Zuo Si was stunned when he saw the five extra points in perception and constitution attributes, the sudden extra LV5 priest level, and the ridiculously powerful voter ability.
Although he knew that Talona had an intention in making him a chosen one.
But the treatment of voters is really amazing.
No wonder countless people are vying to become God's chosen ones, even if it means carrying out extremely dangerous missions.
And there is a proverb that has been passed down in Feren.
It is called "God's liking for a person has nothing to do with that person's own beliefs."
The most obvious example is probably Drizzt, who fled his hometown and chose to believe in the forest goddess Mielikki, but ended up being favored by the spider goddess Lolth, whom he hated the most.
He was even designated as the "Champion Warrior of the Queen of Gods" and successfully killed the demon prince Demogorgon, creating a miracle that was almost impossible for a mortal to accomplish.
God’s personality and way of thinking are obviously completely different from those of ordinary people.
Most people are unable to even comprehend the logic behind God’s behavior patterns, and can only obtain a small amount of extremely incomplete information from the results of some events.
"It seems I need to study hard on some books about God and religion."
Zuo Si muttered to himself as he bent down to pick up the dried Heart of Bhaal that had fallen on the ground, threw it directly into the platinum box, and then stuffed it into the shoulder bag he was carrying.
Despite the skyrocketing perception attribute and the extra LV5 priest level, it has the potential to develop into a theocracy profession.
But he knew very well that this was a bait thrown to him by Talona.
If Zuo Si gave up his original arcane spellcasting route and turned to divine magic, he would be fooled by the opponent.
The biggest flaw of priests is that their magic is completely dependent on the gift of gods.
It was God who poured all the divine arts and corresponding knowledge into the priest's brain.
Once your faith is shaken, or if something happens to the gods and they no longer grant you divine powers, you will instantly become a waste.
Therefore, for Zuo Si, the LV5 priest level merely expanded the spell list from arcane to divine.
When you have enough mana, you can start making some divine magic cards.
He would not be so foolish as to pin his hopes on "God".
In addition, the biggest advantage of divine magic is that it does not require learning.
Once you reach a high enough level, you can directly obtain most of the common divine spell lists, as well as special divine spells related to your own divine camp and domain.
With his special status as a voter, Zuo Si could even skip the step of praying to God as most pastors needed to do.
Anyway, it was Talona who needed help from him, not him who needed help from her.
