Chapter 136 The Magical Use of Red Dust Qi
After a moment's silence, Benjamin abruptly changed the subject:
"By the way, where's David?"
Jemin's eyes swept across the crowd, finally stopping on Kellen and Anya. He remembered hearing about "Kaden" before.
"That country warrior...is that him?"
Seraphina frowned slightly and shook her head gently: "To be honest, I'm not too sure, but what I can confirm is that David is definitely not dead."
"oh?"
Hearing her say this, the other three people also quietly moved closer and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Seraphina smoothed her hair. "David chose Alchemy as his major, but Puppetry as his minor. Plus, his mentor is the foremost human body alchemist in the entire Norn Workshop. Even I don't know how many spare bodies he has."
"It seems that Kaiden is indeed not David, but judging by his behavior, he should also be a wizard."
Benjamin felt a little regretful. It seemed that David's situation was still a mystery.
However, the most important thing now is to activate the magic circle as soon as possible.
Soon they turned deep into a long-abandoned sewer network.
Jieming took the lead, with the reconnaissance eye under his cloak running at full power, guarding against possible enemies.
"It's just ahead." Rex's voice sounded from behind, with a rare hint of excitement.
He put aside his scholarly gentleness, his eyes now gleaming with calculation, his fingertips tracing the faint traces of runes in the air, providing the final guidance for the path ahead.
Judging from the location of the magic circle, they are now deep underground in the Royal Capital Cathedral area.
This is the core hinterland where the power of faith in the entire royal city gathers. Countless underground pipelines and ancient veins are intertwined, forming a natural energy gathering point, which can be called a faith hub.
The three large magic arrays that Benjamin had previously revised and optimized were centered at this place and radiated to the entire royal capital.
The further they went, the more obvious the energy fluctuations became. When they reached a position close to the core of the magic circle, the humid air even showed a power of faith that the wizards could clearly feel.
"What an exaggerated concentration! This place should be the area with the strongest power of faith in the entire plane except for the Kingdom of God." Kelleren adjusted the lenses in front of his eyes and said as he looked at the information displayed on the lenses.
Soon, they reached the end of the sewer network.
Through calculation, they found that 20 meters ahead was their ultimate goal - the core to which the three magic arrays were pointing.
"There's no other way, just dig." Benjamin spread his hands, took the initiative to walk to the front and started digging using alchemy.
"Forget it, let's dig forward, and you arrange the last node of the magic circle." Kelleren patted Benjamin's shoulder and pulled him to the back.
Benjamin was not too stubborn and nodded silently, then began to arrange the runes under Seraphina's protection.
Soon, the few of them arrived at the core area by arranging and digging along the way.
"The array is in place, and the energy flow is exactly as expected." Rex stepped forward, his fingertips lightly touching the rune hub in the center of the altar, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. "Jereming, your optimization of the runes is truly astonishing. It has greatly improved the compatibility and conduction efficiency of energy."
Benjamin chuckled and said nothing more.
"Let's begin." Seraphina's voice was soft, but with a hidden excitement.
She looked at Benjamin, her eyes flashing with the unique enthusiasm of a wizard: "Thanks to you, we can also go crazy."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the five people each walked to the five directions of the core rune formation.
"Start!" With a low shout from Benjamin, the light from his fingertips sank into the altar, and the runes of the three core magic circles suddenly burst out with dazzling light, flowing on the ground and walls like living things!
The entire underground space was illuminated by light, emitting a low humming sound. The endless power of faith also changed its direction and converged towards the core magic circle.
The next moment, the five wizards stretched out their hands and injected the contamination media they had prepared into the center of the magic circle!
Jieming took a deep breath, sank his consciousness into the space within his body, looked at the full worldly energy, and couldn't help but smile.
This was the medium he had prepared to pollute the gods, and it was also the source of Jemin's confidence that he could influence the gods.
Although the Red Dust Qi is easy to obtain, it is not a low-end item.
If one's will is not strong enough, or if one is suddenly faced with a large enough force, even an immortal will be lost in it.
Of course, he definitely couldn't achieve this with the earthly energy he collected in such a short period of time.
However, due to the special nature of the Red Dust Qi itself, it can be said that this thing is naturally endowed with a special attack effect against beings that believe in gods.
Taking a deep breath, Benjamin carefully used the spell to draw out the vast and complex earthly energy in the space within his body.
It was a complex emotion of fear, anger, greed and piety generated by tens of millions of people in the frenzy of war.
This aura was like an invisible torrent, guided by him, rushing towards the core of the magic circle.
As soon as the originally invisible and intangible earthly energy came into contact with the power of faith gathered in the core of the magic circle, it immediately merged into the holy light emitted by the magic circle like black ink, making its light turbid and distorted.
Seraphina waved her hand gracefully, and a cloud of "dust of vanity" invisible to the naked eye fell from her fingertips.
This is an extremely sophisticated sixth-level witchcraft creation. After being injected into the magic circle, it quietly integrates into every energy fluctuation of the power of faith, invisibly amplifying the selfishness, fear and distortion in the faith.
Kelern slammed the ground, and a wild and primitive aura surged from his body.
That was the deepest wildness and chaos of the orcs that he collected through the "Blood Pact of Chaos".
This force was like a raging flood, rushing through the magic circle and violently into the faith network, causing the originally orderly faith network to become manic and restless, and the energy flow to become unbalanced.
Anya's hands gently pressed on the nodes of the magic circle, and a strange green light flashed in her eyes.
The tremendous life affinity in her body was reversed and stimulated, transforming into countless "seeds of decay".
Driven by her power, these seeds of corruption spread rapidly, like the most insidious vines, parasitizing the life roots of the faith connection, slowly and stubbornly absorbing its vitality, causing it to wither from the inside.
Rex activated a miniature alchemical device in his hand. The device made a cold mechanical sound and countless tiny rune light spots gushed out from it.
These light spots were precisely injected into the magic circle. They were the "logical paradox runes" carefully crafted by Rex, which could directly embed contradictory instructions and algorithms into the belief network, causing internal conflicts in the originally self-consistent belief system and causing its power to begin to self-consume and disintegrate.
The five different forms of pollution, linked by the three sets of magic arrays, were like five torrents flowing into the sea, instantly merging with the huge faith network of the royal capital.
Rumble!
The entire underground space trembled violently! The light on the altar was no longer pure and holy, but now colorful, with a hint of sickening grayness.
They twisted and rolled, as if in great pain.
Immediately afterwards, the mutation spread from underground to above ground!
Tiny cracks began to appear on the ground in the church area, and a wave of energy with a turbid light suddenly gushed out from the ground like an invisible shock wave!
In an instant, the entire area where the church was located burst into huge light!
The light was no longer holy, but instead carried a hint of weirdness and chaos, as if a huge canvas had been splashed with various paints, becoming dirty and dazzling.
This light shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky and even briefly overshadowing the capital's magical street lights.
In the royal capital, some vigilant guards and priests immediately noticed this sudden strange phenomenon.
The shrill sound of alarms cut through the night sky, and countless figures began to gather towards the church area.
"It's done!" Rex's voice was a little trembling, but more excited.
"The divine power faith network is a good thing. It has a very high efficiency in energy transmission. Fortunately, we have this thing. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for us to pollute the entire plane relying solely on the faith hub of the human kingdom." Kelleren couldn't help but sigh.
He is the only one among the five people, besides Jemin, who has studied the divine power belief network.
Although the research time is not long enough, we can roughly understand the characteristics of the divine power belief network.
Benjamin didn't say anything. While the others were sighing, he ran out silently.
The five of them made such a big noise that it would definitely disturb all the high-ranking officials and powerful people in the royal city.
This is the church area of the royal city. Once the other party forcibly sends an angel-level existence here, they will have no chance of escape.
Without any hesitation, the five people quickly fled to the outer layer of the sewer along the long-planned evacuation route like black lightning.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, while the complex light rising into the sky above the church area continued to flicker in the night sky, like a huge, distorted signal light, indicating that the "pollution" of the place of faith had been completed.
However, the effects of the pollution are not yet obvious, and for a period of time the gods will not be able to realize the truth that the foundation of their faith has been shaken.
Their power will remain strong on the surface for a short period of time.
Jemin knew very well that only when the wizards tore through the plane barrier again and engaged in a fierce collective battle with the gods of the Elosia plane, the gods would subconsciously absorb the power of faith to replenish themselves due to the huge consumption.
By then, the polluted and mixed power of faith will instantly explode like poison!
The judgment of the gods will be seriously disturbed, and there may even be a backlash of power.
It just so happened that at that time, the plane barrier had been torn apart, and the high-level wizards of the Noren Workshop outside would be able to detect this "opportunity" at the first time and take immediate follow-up actions.
So Benjamin and his men retreated quite cleanly, and now all they had to do was wait quietly.
