Boom!
Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! As the power and divinity of the storm god Talos began to gush out, blindingly bright lightning poured down from the sky above the cave, instantly killing the last thirty or so survivors, both physically and spiritually.
The latter didn't even have a chance to react before disappearing permanently from this world and even the entire universe.
Moreover, no magic or divine arts, not even the gods themselves, can reshape his soul.
Because those thunder and lightning contain terrifying destructive divine power, which is completely different from ordinary lightning energy attribute attacks.
There is no doubt that this is a very obvious act of silencing.
The purpose is to prevent the biggest secret in the process of deification from being leaked out, so that too many mortals or lower-level creatures such as demons and devils can know the secret.
At the same time, the torn souls of those followers were also transformed into the purest energy, pouring into the life essence released by Visharoon from the shattered life box, causing it to further sublime.
I just don't know whether these divine lightnings were deliberately arranged by him or were the work of Talos, the god of storms behind him.
"I see! The real purpose of these runes is not to control and guide divine power, that is just a side effect.
Instead, it is to firmly bind the lich soul that is released after the life box is broken, to ensure that it will not be destroyed by the ubiquitous rule of death, and at the same time will not be annihilated no matter how huge the impact of divine power is.
It turns out that every god is a master at playing with souls.
Only the demons, devils, and yugoloths of the lower planes can barely compete with it.
But the difference is that they have slightly different emphases on the utilization of soul power.
The gods exploit the faith and identification generated by the essence of the soul;
The devil uses the memories and emotions generated during the soul's degeneration and corruption, and then squeezes and extracts the energy as the basis for the operation of Baator Hell;
Demons use the purest chaos, evil and primitive instincts in human nature, as well as the irreversible influence of the will of the abyss on mortal souls; as for the Yug'groth, it should be between the devil and the demon. Although it is equally evil, it mainly gains power from the selfishness in the mortal souls..."
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and stared with interest at Visharon in the huge magic circle in the middle of the cave, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
In fact, this deification ceremony was pretty much as he expected. Its inner core was quite simple and crude, so crude that it could be said that it did not contain any technical content at all.
It is quite consistent with the character of Talos, the storm god, who is irritable, quick-tempered, and keen on destruction and destruction.
To sum it up simply in one sentence, with the help of these runes and magic circles created by powerful divine power, a person's soul can be forcibly imprisoned in the middle, making it impossible for it to be captured by the rules of death, and impossible for it to be completely destroyed by any form of power, including divine power.
It's basically like locking the blood. No matter how much pain, despair, and tearing one endures, the soul will always remain intact.
As for the rest, we will infuse them with divine power and divinity to force their life essence to evolve and sublimate to a higher level, until the divinity is ignited and becomes a divine spark.
As for whether the owner of the soul can withstand this extremely terrifying transformation without collapsing or going crazy, that is another matter.
Anyway, if he fails, his soul will either turn into an extremely evil and chaotic monster, or into a divine life-like creature similar to the ancient evil, which can be controlled and driven by Talos, the god of storms.
And if one is lucky enough to succeed, then the moment the divine spark is ignited, one will inevitably find the part that best suits oneself among the endless knowledge of the universe, and then quickly obtain the priesthood to form one's own philosophical ideas and doctrines.
In other words, after becoming a god, the memories, identity and behavioral habits of a mortal are actually no longer important and can be completely abandoned.
What does it mean to have a big brick flying?
What does it mean that great strength brings about miracles? This is it!
Obviously, the temptation of becoming a god can really drive countless mortals crazy.
Even with such a huge risk, legendary wizards like Visharoon, Sazastan, and Irenicus, who possess extremely high intelligence levels, are still willing to risk their lives to try.
After finding out all the information he wanted to know, Zuo Si decided not to hide himself anymore. Instead, he lifted the invisibility magic and walked out from his hiding place. He bowed slightly to the immobile Visharon and greeted him with a smile, "Good evening, Lord Visharon. I'm afraid you, who are eager to successfully ascend from a mortal to a god, never dreamed that someone would find you at this time, right?"
“…”
Visharon was obviously unable to speak, let alone control his body and soul. He could only turn his neck twenty degrees with great difficulty and aim his empty eye sockets, which continuously gushed out divine power, at the sudden intruder.
Needless to say, he must be extremely nervous and panicked as he has no ability to resist at all. He also has no way to manipulate the energy to launch an attack.
Because Zuo Si stopped when he reached the edge of the huge magic circle, he obviously knew that his control over the divine power was limited to the cylindrical area within the magic circle.
Moreover, this immobile process of deification must last for a full forty-eight hours, which is more than two days.
If he is attacked from the outside or the magic circle under his feet is destroyed during this period, the result that awaits Visharoon is that his soul will be completely torn into pieces by the impact of the eye of the storm, or he will turn into some monster that he himself does not even know.
In fact, the more powerful the magic rituals and legendary spells are and the greater the effects they can produce, the longer the time required for continuous concentration to cast them.
Like the famous legendary magic [Eternal Blazing Sun of Amon Aitor], the casting time alone takes up to eleven minutes.
In addition, one hundred and seventy-six spellcasters must contribute a first-ring spell slot, twelve spellcasters must contribute a second-ring spell slot, four spellcasters must contribute a third-ring spell slot, one spellcaster must contribute a seventh-ring spell slot, plus the legendary wizard's own legendary spell slot.
In other words, to release this legendary spell that can create a magical sun out of thin air, it requires the cooperation of nearly two hundred arcane spellcasters in total, and a collective casting time of up to eleven minutes.
In addition, legendary spells such as [Demi-Lich Flesh], [Legendary Anti-Creature Field], [Legendary Spell Deflection], [Origin], [Bonfire of Madness], [Gift of the Oath], etc. also require a long casting time, some even taking dozens or even hundreds of days.
As for those legendary magics that can be used in actual combat, most of them have relatively small power and impact, and can be successfully released with just one standard action or an instant.
In contrast, many legendary magic spells that require one minute to cast may not be able to be used in actual combat.
Basically, you will either be countered instantly or be torn apart by the opponent, whose magic effects will be removed and your protection will be stripped away, and then you will be sent away with a series of combos.
Shane VII once said that legendary magic can only be used when one has an overwhelming advantage in strength, or when one's subordinates or summoned creatures have successfully restrained the opponent. Otherwise, there is little room for use in actual combat.
Of course, this does not include some spells that can last for a long time or even permanently after being cast.
For example, Zuo Si himself now has the [Legendary Mage Armor], which lasts for 24 hours; [Legendary Spell Deflection], which can resist any directional spell from zero to nine rings (excluding area magic) and bounce it back to the hostile caster. It will last as long as it is not dispelled or removed; [Eternal Freedom], which can make the recipient immune to the effects of entanglement, control, imprisonment, paralysis, petrification, hypnosis, deceleration, shock, time stop, etc., and the duration is also permanent; [Unstable Step], which keeps the recipient in an accelerated state permanently, and both the movement speed and nerve reflex speed are twice as fast as before. The spell that originally took six seconds to release only takes three seconds with the blessing of this legendary magic, and even the frequency of swinging the sword will be twice as fast; [Advanced Spell Resistance], which increases the target's spell resistance by an additional 35 points, which cannot be stacked by repeated casting, and lasts for 20 hours; [Steep Turn], which protects against five long-range attacks such as bows and crossbows and firearms. It is mainly used to resist the damage caused by the huge lethality of magic arrows and projectiles of the legendary magic archer. You can choose whether to rebound the attack the moment it touches you. The duration is twelve hours.
[Time Insurance] is similar to the legendary magic version of the accident spell. When the set conditions are triggered, the caster will enter a state similar to the nine-ring magic time stop, which lasts for six seconds. When this spell is not triggered, it occupies one legendary spell slot every day.
In other words, Zuo Si always has seven legendary spells in effect on him.
This is also how most Legendary Mages of a high enough level use Legendary Magic.
However, if he suddenly decided to transfer his consciousness and soul to other clones, then all these legendary magics would be scrapped and he would have to start all over again.
If legendary spells are so complicated and troublesome, then the deification ceremony is needless to say.
In particular, divinity is infused into the soul, and then repeatedly impacted with divine power to allow it to sublime in extreme pain. The principle is basically the same as a rope sawing through wood or water dripping through a stone, and it takes a very long time.
Therefore, Zuo Si was not in a hurry at all. He neither destroyed the magic circle immediately nor tried to launch an attack. Instead, he established a connection with the speechless Visharoon through mental magic.
The next second...
The sinister and cunning red-robed wizard asked sternly, "How on earth did you find this place? I have cast a lot of spells to block detection and tracking!"
"Of course it is because of it."
As he spoke, Zuo Si hooked his finger towards the dark tunnel behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the Chaos Hound Demon Kezef ran out from behind the stone, staring at Visharoon in the center of the magic circle with his two eyes emitting red light. Saliva filled with strong acid energy kept dripping from the corners of his mouth and between his teeth onto the ground, making a sharp hissing sound.
There is no doubt that a defenseless soul filled with divine power and divinity has completely aroused its instincts and appetite.
If it were the original consciousness that was controlling the body, the vicious dog would have pounced on it and feasted on it, tearing the city of Visharoon alive into pieces and swallowing it, enjoying the ultimate pleasure brought by digesting the soul, divine power, and divinity.
But now Kozef is waiting obediently for his master's orders.
Before that, it will not attack any life or even soul.
Zuo Si bent down and touched the furry dog's head, then asked with a smile: "I believe I don't need to introduce it any further, right? In your current state, it should be easy for you to feel what it is."
"Ancient evil! The Chaos Hound Kozef!"
Visharon gasped instantly, and a strong sense of fear was transmitted to him through the mental connection.
You have to know that when he was fighting for the Eye of the Storm, he was just a lich and still belonged to the category of mortals. He didn't recognize this puppy with a deceptive appearance at all.
But now, with the effect of divinity and divine power, he could already feel the distortion, hatred and madness in Kozef's body that were completely opposite to the divine power.
I also realized why the gods were so afraid of this evil dog.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right! It locks your soul, so no matter where you hide or how many shielding prophecy magic detection spells you cast, I can find you easily."
"What do you want?"
Visharon was visibly panicked.
Because the agreement reached with the God of Storms only contains content related to what will happen after one is successfully deified, but before that one must completely rely on oneself.
But now the appearance of the Chaos Hound directly threatens his life.
“Haha, that depends on your sincerity and performance.
Please answer a few questions first.
Tell me, how do you feel now?
Can you feel some power, knowledge, and special images from the Divine?"
Zuo Si obviously regarded the other party as a guinea pig for studying the power of gods and began to ask about some things that interested him.
After all, there are not many cases of mortals being deified, and situations like the one in the Year of Troubles, where Io, the God Among Gods, was directly promoted, are not worthy of reference.
Versharon was undoubtedly aware that he was at the mercy of others and had no room for bargaining. He could only suppress his anger and fear and replied, "I can vaguely see some intermittent abstract images, as well as extremely complex and incomprehensible symbols and words. They appear and disappear quickly like hallucinations, and then repeat over and over again."
“Abstract images, symbols and words?
Is this the power of divinity? Just like when a planeswalker ignites a spark, can the divine spark also directly obtain some knowledge and truth from the vast universe? Or is there some unknown difference and connection between the two?"
Zuo Si stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Because there are so many types of gods in the world of Toril, even the reasons for the birth of two gods or even between different pantheons, the ways they gain power, and the methods of continuing their existence are all different.
They are restricted and influenced by the clergy, but they also have independent personalities, emotions, preferences and tendencies.
For example, Corellon, the main god of all elves in the universe, may not be an elf at all, but a spirit of some kind of magical energy widely spread in the universe, who then created the elf race with his own hands.
It is precisely because of this that the elves have their own magic system, and can use it freely in any plane and any casting environment.
The winter goddess Auril may be some kind of symbolic nature spirit or fairy. Under the fear of the winter cold by intelligent creatures, her self-awareness gradually awakened, and she was eventually promoted to one of the gods.
Shar and Sulen, as well as Changtiia, the Earth Goddess who represents the will of the planet Toril, should have been created by Io, the Supreme God, when he created the Crystal Wall System.
As for other gods, they were basically either born in the battle between the twin goddesses of creation or came from other dimensions.
Although it is not clear what these newly born gods relied on to maintain their existence when the Crystal Wall system was first born and there were no mortals, it may be the special permission of Io, or it may be that the rules at that time were different.
But with the emergence of a large number of mortal races, all gods must have enough believers to ensure their own existence, otherwise they will be dragged into the astral world to lie dead.
In addition, there is Ubtao, the dinosaur god who dominates the mainstream faith in the southern Chult area and is a guy who rebelled from the Original Ones camp.
He transformed a portion of his power into spirit and merged it into the jungles of Chult. As long as this tropical jungle existed and was full of vitality, Ubtao would never die.
Ubtao even split off the dark side and created another god - Eshudho.
If we expand our view to the entire universe, we will find that in addition to the gods who rely on faith to gain power and maintain their existence, there is also a very special kind of god called the Titans.
This type of deity requires no faith and draws power directly from the material plane.
The Titans, the powerful creatures that inhabit all material and outer planes, are actually the descendants of these gods.
If we take into account the wild gods, primordial beings, archdevils, demon lords, yugoloth lords, elemental princes, animal lords, supreme elves, slaad lords and other divine powers, the situation will be even more complicated.
After all, the most powerful individual among the quasi-divine powers is not much inferior to the powerful divine powers, and may even be stronger than them.
For example, the Sultan of Fire Giant, the Lady of Pain of Sigil, the embodiment of the will of the Mechanical Realm, Asmodeus, the lord of Baator, and Orcus who masters the complete power of the Mantra of Doom.
What’s even more terrible is that the relationship between gods and mortals is actually one of mutual influence and interdependence.
When a priest enters a new area and pronounces the name of the god unclearly due to his personal accent when preaching, it is very likely that his god will be given a new appearance in the process of spreading the word.
So having multiple different names is no big deal for God.
The more names and faces a god has, the more it proves that this god has existed long enough and has withstood the test of time and years.
The most typical example is Talos, the god of storms.
Since he is the embodiment of natural disasters in the entire world of Toril, all mortals' fear, awe, and prayers for natural disasters are directly related to him.
This means that at the beginning of civilization, as long as the geographical span was large enough and there was isolation between regions, the people in each region would have different, or even completely different, names for the God of Storms.
When some archaeologists find statues of Talos from tombs that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, they often mistakenly believe that this is a fallen god who eventually angered the God of Storms and died tragically on the spot.
This frequent change of names would undoubtedly cause great trouble to mortals, as they would not even be sure whether they believed in the same God.
As for the hostility and fighting between different sects, that is a very common thing.
Zuo Si had always been very curious. Not to mention those who were born as gods and whose nature was dominant, if one ascended from a mortal to a god, then at the moment the spark of divinity was ignited, was it the priesthood and divinity that took the dominant position and transformed the personality, or did the personality have an influence on the priesthood and divinity?
For example, the one in front of us, Visharon.
After he was successfully deified, he obtained four priesthoods: necromancy, necromancy wizard, evil lich and undead creatures.
And this is obviously inextricably linked to his experiences as a mortal.
After all, Visharoon's growth experience is almost exactly the same as Sazastan's. They were both specialized necromancers at first, obsessed with the study of necromancy magic, and later transformed themselves into lich form.
If personality influences the priesthood, then changing the person who deifies from Velsharoon to Sazastan will not make any difference.
But if priesthood and divinity dominate, it means that all this was arranged in advance by Io, the God above all gods.
Even if you replace it with a conjurer lich with a completely different growth experience, there will be no change.
Could it be that Larroque was right?
Is it true that the current magic goddess Midnight is too inclined towards kindness, so she needs a magic god who is inclined towards evil to balance it? A very scary thought suddenly popped up in Zuo Si's mind.
If this speculation is true, then even if he kills Velsharoon now and destroys his deification process, a new lich will be successfully deified in a short time.
After all, when it comes to balancing, Io, the God above all gods, is serious.
Regardless of justice or evil, order or chaos, anyone who crosses the line will be immediately and mercilessly struck.
"what's on your mind?"
"Nothing. If you don't mind, could you please cooperate with me in doing a little experiment?"
Zuo Si suddenly raised his head and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"experiment?"
Visharon suddenly became extremely alert.
You have to know that he is also a legendary wizard, and he understands what it means when a legendary wizard says the word "experiment", and how terrible the danger is.
"Hmm! I'd like to know how different the results would be if someone completed the Apotheosis Ceremony in your place."
As he spoke, Zuo Si suddenly raised his hand and sent a signal to summon the members of the organization.
The next second...
A dwarf wizard who looked only half a man's height appeared out of thin air with the help of teleportation magic. He put one hand on his chest and bowed. He said in a slightly harsh and sharp voice: "Good evening, the most great Lord Soth, the founder and leader of the Arcane Mystic Society, the master of the Masked Mages Guild, the real master behind the Emerald Society, the chosen one appointed by the Mother of Magic, Jebido Turan, has responded to the call. I am ready to obey all your orders."
"Uh... who taught you these words? I don't remember the organization ever doing this kind of flattery and formalism?"
The corner of Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.
"Ah? Do I need to be taught this?"
The dwarf wizard named Jebido Turan opened his eyes wide and explained innocently, "I thought all the other members would say something flattering when they see you in order to leave a good impression.
There are similar unspoken rules within the Masked Mages Guild.
If anyone does not do so, he will be suppressed and excluded.
I spent hours pondering over these impressive-sounding titles.”
Zuo Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I think you seem to have misunderstood something.
Our organization is pragmatic and everything has quantitative assessment standards.
It is fair, just and open, and never engages in boring things like flattery.
Also, I don't need these impressive-sounding titles, remember to forget them all when you go back."
"What? Damn it! Then all my preparations would be in vain! I am actually quite talented in this area..."
Jebido Turan stroked his goatee and showed a rather regretful expression.
Although Zuo Si knew that the dwarf race was born with a talent for comedy and had the best sense of humor among all races, they loved to joke and play pranks.
But he never expected that after transforming into an undead lich, the other party could still maintain its original nature. It was really a bit unexpected.
Obviously, he summoned this funny guy just to have him replace Visharoon and become a god.
Velsharoon obviously realized this, and immediately roared madly through the mental connection: "No! You can't do this! I have an agreement with Talos, the God of Storms! If you kill me, he will not let you go!"
“You are wrong.
Talos, the god of storms, only wants a subordinate god to exploit.
As for who this god is, he doesn't care and is too lazy to pay attention.
Otherwise, he would have descended to talk to me from the moment I got the Eye of the Storm."
Zuo Si retorted in a cold and emotionless tone.
"Wait! No! We can talk! If I succeed in becoming a god, I can give you endless knowledge, powerful magic power, and all kinds of amazing artifacts."
Visharon was obviously terrified and made crazy promises at all costs.
But Zuo Si just responded calmly: "I'm sorry, the things you provided are worthless compared to the answers I want. Now, while you are still conscious, recall the past, because you don't have much time left."
As the last word came out of his mouth, he took the initiative to cut off the mental connection, turned around and asked directly: "Jebido Turan, do you want to become a god?"
“Become… become a god?”
The dwarf wizard blinked, obviously confused.
"That's right! Do you see the lich in the center of the magic circle and his soul that is undergoing transformation? I have a way to make you replace him and become a demigod with weak divine power."
Zuo Si made no secret and stated his intentions very clearly.
Gulp!
Jebido Turan swallowed subconsciously, his face full of shock and disbelief. After a full minute, he stammered, "Why...why me? I'm just a new member who has just joined the core members of the organization."
"Hahahaha, because I like the flattery I just gave you and appreciate your sense of humor."
Zuo Si couldn't help but make a joke.
The dwarf wizard was undoubtedly a little dizzy from the huge pie that fell from the sky. After a long time, he said incoherently: "But...but I am not prepared at all. I don't even know what the deification means."
"You don't need to prepare anything, and you don't need to understand what it means to be a god. Because the moment you ignite the divine spark, you will immediately understand everything."
After saying this, Zuo Si took out a life box made of gems from the bag he was carrying and stuffed it into the other person's hand.
Since Jebido Turan was a newly born lich who was recently absorbed from the Guild of Masked Mages, his life box has not yet been made into a card, which can come in handy today.
Zuo Si wanted to try and see what difference would be made in the final result if an evil neutral dwarf illusionist replaced Velsharoon in the deification.
Looking at the life box in his hand that was lost and recovered, and then looking at Visharoon who was standing in the center of the magic circle and floating and constantly enduring the impact of divine power, Jebido Turan finally realized that he was standing at the crossroads of fate.
Although he is an expert wizard of illusion who has mastered nine-ring spells (total spellcasting level LV18), he is not as ambitious as human wizards with shorter lifespans, and always desires more wealth, power, knowledge and strength.
Especially after climbing to the position of great wizard, this little guy has not made any trouble for more than 20 years and is very satisfied with the status quo.
His only desire is to become a legendary wizard before his lifespan runs out, and to find a way to prolong his lifespan or even gain immortality.
After being absorbed into the Order of the Arcane Mystics and successfully transformed into a lich, Jebido Turan has been assisting several other senior members in sorting out the Guild of Masked Mages and reintegrating and transforming the entire organization.
He planned to make more achievements in exchange for advanced magical knowledge and legendary spells that were not available at the headquarters of the Masked Wizards Guild.
For him, being able to become a core member of such a powerful spellcasting organization was already lucky enough, and he didn't dare to have any more extravagant hopes.
But now, a huge surprise that far exceeded the threshold of expectations fell from the sky.
Becoming a high and mighty god? Jebido Turan wasn't even sure whether he was more surprised, more frightened, or half of each.
But before he had time to savor the complex taste, a dazzlingly bright light suddenly burst out from Zuo Si's chest near his heart.
That's what the planeswalker's spark looks like when it's operating at full power.
moment!
The divine power and divinity gushing out from the Eye of the Storm and Visharoon's body were forcibly sucked over, forming a huge glowing sphere in the sky above the edge of the magic circle.
The divine power was sucked into one of the hands from the edge of the sphere, and then spurted out from the other hand.
What was sucked in was the power of destruction and destructiveness of Talos, the god of storms, while what was released was the relatively calm power after being transformed by sparks.
Although there is no change in the properties, the latter is no longer affected by Taros.
As the level of the planeswalker's spark continued to increase, Zuo Si's conversion of divine power no longer requires a long time to grind it bit by bit like at the beginning.
Just the opposite!
He now also has the power to draw energy and mana directly from a plane-of-time source, just as the old dragon Nicol Bolas did.
However, the speed of conversion and absorption is still much slower than the latter.
But it is no problem to deal with the divine power contained in the eye of the storm.
"Oh--my goodness!"
Jebido Turan was stunned obviously by the spectacular scene happening before his eyes.
Especially when most of the divine power of the Eye of the Storm had been drained, Visharoon's lich body shattered into countless powders with a snap and drifted away in the wind.
And his remaining soul, which was riddled with holes, let out a cry of despair.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!
Look what you've done! You've ruined the opportunity I worked so hard for!
You killed a great god of magic!
Give me back my power!"
With hysterical madness, Visharon turned into a shadow and rushed towards Zuo Si.
But when he reached the edge of the magic circle, he immediately felt his whole body becoming extremely unstable, as if it could be torn in half at any time, so he hurriedly retreated again.
"If I were you, I wouldn't move now, let alone try to walk out of the Soul-Fixing Array.
Don't forget, you are a lich.
Once you lose your divine power and divinity, it means you will be affected by the ubiquitous rule of death.
The rules of death will tear and devour your soul, and annihilate you completely."
Zuo Si fiddled with the divine power in his hand and reminded him in a kind manner.
He ignored Velsharoon's reaction and hooked his finger at the dwarf wizard: "Come here!"
Jebido Turan ran up to him with his short legs, swallowing nervously, "Are you sure it's okay to do this?"
"Of course it's no problem! It's just that the process is a little painful. Don't worry, it will pass as long as you bear with it. Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Zuo Si patted the dwarf wizard on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Before Jebido Turan even had the chance to ask what "the process will be a little painful" meant, he saw the ball of divine power wrapped in divinity falling down on his head.
Boom!!! In less than a second, his body and life box were shattered at the same time, and the released soul was directly wrapped up by divine power and divinity.
Like Velsharoon before him, the gnome wizard instantly lost the ability to move.
However, he was a little luckier than the former, because these divine powers were relatively stable under the control of the planeswalker.
To be precise, Zuo Si had collected enough data from Visharoon and knew how to quickly stimulate divinity through the shock of divine power.
During this process, Visharoon tried to rush forward and cause damage several times, but was forced back by the Chaos Hound Kozef beside him.
Even though he prayed and begged to Talos, the God of Storms, he received no response at all. He could only watch in pain as everything that should have belonged to him was taken away.
One hour...
Two hours...
Five hours...
Ten hours...
After a whole day and night passed as the sun and the moon rotated, a ball of golden light was finally born in the depths of Jebido Turan's soul.
Almost at the same time, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping him.
After about three to five seconds, all the mortals in the entire continent of Faerun heard a voice ringing in their ears.
"My name is Jebido Turan! I am the god of necromancy, necromancers, liches, and undead creatures! Anyone who fears me and prays to me will be answered!"
Soon after, a new chair appeared in the Pantheon.
After the beam of light disappeared, the mortal dwarf wizard had disappeared, leaving only Visharoon's broken soul in the center of the soul-fixing array, his eyes revealing unparalleled hatred.
Because he knew that with Jebido Turan's successful deification, he was completely finished.
"The priesthood has not changed? In other words, all this was arranged long ago?"
Zuo Si fiddled with the Eye of the Storm in his hand, which had only a little residual power left. His black pupils were as deep and dark as a pool of water.
There is no doubt that he has got the answer he wanted through this test.
It turns out that Io, the god above gods, has been constantly trying to maintain a balance in secret.
Especially the magic goddess who controls the magic network is the focus of attention.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is probably because after Xirik was drastically weakened, the forces within the kingdom that tend to favor the good camp have obviously become too strong, so a few evil gods are needed to balance it out.
Now that the good-inclined goddess of magic has an evil god of necromancy to balance her, will the next step be for the equally good-inclined god of death, Kelemvor, to also have an evil god of death to balance her? For example, resurrecting the second-generation god of death, Melkor, who has been dead for many years?
Or will he use the unrest caused by the Son of Bhaal to bring back the God of Murder?
Gradually, Zuo Si began to understand the philosophy and behavior patterns of the God Above God Io, and couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Well, it seems that I have to restrain myself a little.
At least maintain the surface balance.
Otherwise, even if one powerful enemy is eliminated, another one will emerge.
In addition, my West Coast Empire should only be able to reach as far as the Dragon Coast, and it must not expand further eastward.
Otherwise, God knows what kind of changes and emergencies will happen. "
Obviously, although on the surface Io, the God of Gods, is often in an offline state, as if he is indifferent to everything that happens on the planet Toril, he will not show up even if the demon lords and devil dukes rush in to wreak havoc and destroy cities and civilizations.
Even matters like deification are often taken with a laissez-faire attitude of tacit approval.
But in fact, as long as the balance of the camp tilts significantly, he will take action immediately.
When evil was rampant on the continent of Faerun, Io brought over the god of justice, Tyr, and also gave him a loyal assistant, Torm.
Now that the good camp has the upper hand, Io is countering by promoting and resurrecting evil gods.
As long as the power of both sides remains balanced, it will form a deterrent. If one move is triggered, the whole body will be affected. No one will dare to start trouble first, and it will not cause great damage to the entire world.
