After a while of trying, Klein initially figured out the ability of the "Poseidon Scepter":

It can create tsunamis, hurricanes, heavy rains, lightning strikes, and allow people to fly in the sky and walk on the seabed, with almost no restrictions.

It is nearly indestructible and can smash the enemy's head directly. It can prevent the holder from getting lost without other strong factors. It can provide unimaginable balance, drive many sea creatures, respond to the prayers of believers, and make people gain the power of sea monsters, which is equivalent to the master of an area of ​​sea.

To Klein, this was truly divine-level. Even on Earth, he could fight against aircraft carrier formations!

Even though he is now Sequence 6 and has many practical Beyonder abilities, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is considered a genuine strong man, a figure that only exists in legends, but he is still fragile in nature and is still closer to a "human". If the situation is right, a revolver can take care of him. Of course, resurrection after death and rising from the coffin is another matter.

However, all the things that the "Scepter of Poseidon" possesses transcend the level of "human". They are the definite powers of gods or demons in folk tales and in the minds of the people.

No wonder he was called half-god and half-human starting from Sequence 4. He really was more like a god than a human... Klein sighed silently, then laughed at himself:

"If I could use the 'Seagod's Scepter' normally, I could have served as a senior deacon of the Nightwatchmen and become one of the twenty most powerful people in the church... If Ince Zangwill didn't have '0-08' and was at sea, I could have taken revenge on him immediately and even had a good chance of success.

"But can I use the 'Poseidon's Scepter' normally?

"cannot……"

Klein had just discovered that the negative effects of the "Poseidon Scepter" were astonishingly great. Within the Church of Evernight, it would definitely be easy to get the evaluation of a "Level 1" seal, and who knows how many researchers would have to die before they could figure out the best way to seal and use it.

There are three negative effects of "Poseidon's Scepter":

First, it makes the holder irritable, easily angry, and easily overheated;

The second is that it periodically freezes the thoughts of all creatures within a certain range and drains their blood, including the holder. As for how large the range is and what the specific value of the cycle is, Klein, who is not a professional researcher, cannot give an accurate description. He can only make a rough estimate and believes that the range is 600 meters to 1 kilometer and the cycle is 20 minutes to 35 minutes.

The third is to gather and present the prayers of believers, with both sound and images, which can easily cause non-demigod-level holders whose spirits are not strong enough to collapse and lose control.

"The first one is fine. If it is only used for a short period of time, anger and irritability are acceptable. In short, with such a powerful seal, just rush in and it will be over...

"Third, there is actually a way to circumvent it. The response of 'Sea God' to faith is limited by distance. In other words, as long as you leave the Rorsted Islands and the nearby waters, you won't receive the 'signal' at all, and you won't be affected. Well... if you stay above the gray fog, it seems that the distance limit can be broken, but the sound or picture of the prayer will be blocked and restored to a light spot, which will not affect me at all, allowing me to freely choose whether to respond, who to respond to, and how to respond...

"And when I respond, I can use the power of the 'Sea God's Scepter'...

"The biggest problem is the second one. I'm fine. When I turned into the Black Emperor, I was a vengeful spirit with no blood. I'm not afraid of being drained. But the creatures around me are in trouble. They can't distinguish between friend and foe, and the cycle is hard to grasp... We can't discuss with the enemy first when we encounter a dangerous situation. Can we change the time and place and make another appointment?"

Klein thought carefully and envisioned several scenarios for using the Scepter of Poseidon, but these all depended on the environment and accurate judgment beforehand, and were hardly feasible.

"Huh... Is it its fate to stay above the gray fog, and when people like Amon try to 'touch' it, it will be shot with a shuttle, no, a bolt of lightning...

"Oh, there is another use. When Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man and the others ask for help, I no longer have only the paper angel as an option. I can also provide rain and wind... Of course, this can be done just like the purification ability of the Sun Brooch, using the paper angel as a carrier...

"Think carefully, with the 'Sea God's Scepter', I can act like a real demigod above the gray fog..."

Klein's mood gradually improved because he found that the "Poseidon's Scepter" was not completely unusable at the moment, which allowed him to perform more tricks.

He retracted his attention and turned his gaze back to the short bone staff with blue "gems" on top, thinking about another question, which was whether to respond to the prayers of the "Sea God" believers:

"Kavetuwa is already dead, there is no need to give those people another object of faith...

"However, even if the surviving priests and high-ranking members of the resistance army noticed the anomaly and stopped receiving responses, they would not truly accept the worst outcome for a long time. People always hold on to their luck and are used to comforting themselves and hypnotizing themselves, especially when they are in a dangerous environment with no hope of dawn. This is especially true for the Silver City, which is still worshipping the 'Creator' after more than 2,000 years, believing that they and others are just being hated and abandoned, and that they will get a response again one day...

"That is to say, after receiving no response, the fanatical believers of the 'Sea God' will not only not believe that Kalvetuwa has fallen and stop the living sacrifice, but will also increase their efforts in the hope of gaining the favor of the gods again... Without several years or even more than ten years of propaganda and crackdowns, it will be difficult to make them sober.

“When the rebels lose the support of the indigenous god Kalvetuwa, they will probably have no choice but to turn to Feysac or Intis. At that time, they, with their radical beliefs, may be driven to do inhumane things, such as attacking places where civilians gather, or letting those children who still have innocent eyes stand in front of them…

"I need to give them some guidance and tell them what the correct way of belief is, but I can't burden myself. I just need to give them some help within my ability... I am not responsible for saving their fate..."

Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers and suddenly laughed softly:

"Don't you want to do a real-life performance? 'Sea God' Kalvetuwa is a good candidate.

“I just don’t know if this counts as experiencing the separation of gray fog and not being able to receive feedback.

"Haha, you have to try it to find out."

Klein made a decision quickly and felt inexplicably refreshed.

He considered it for a moment, first materializing the necessary scene, then grasped the "Scepter of Poseidon", spread out his spirituality, and touched one of the light spots.

…………

In a hidden cave in the jungle of Blue Mountain Island.

The bald rebel Karat fell off his wheelchair and crawled towards the Kalvetuva statue that had shattered on its own with a look of despair and confusion in his eyes.

He vaguely sensed something, but was unwilling to believe it, because it meant that all the persistence, all the sacrifice, all the pain, would be meaningless.

No... He screamed silently, and kept muttering the name of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa, trying to get a response from the god.

He supported himself with his elbows and dug his fingers into the mud, moving inch by inch to the front of the broken statue. He picked up the stone-carved sea snake head and found that the eyes had been strangely sunken into black holes and the teeth had fallen out one by one.

Karat was almost frozen, and the light in front of his eyes seemed to have disappeared.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a blurry figure, and behind the other person was a deep blue tsunami surging into the sky and silver-white lightning that branched out like tree branches.

In astonishment, Karat instinctively lowered his head, and an unbelievable joy suddenly surged in his heart.

He saw that there were clustered waves under the figure's feet and swirling hurricanes around him. The whole figure was majestic, sacred, lofty and broad.

Then, he heard an indifferent and grand voice:

"I have returned."

When the voice came back to the room, Karat burst into tears for no apparent reason.

…………

In the underwater ruins that was semi-integrated with the spiritual world, about ten minutes after Klein left.

The sea water that filled the place suddenly roared and flowed back out. In just twenty or thirty seconds, the elven ruins became so dry that it seemed as if it was on land.

A fresh hurricane of wind blew in, bringing in breathable air.

One after another, figures fell in the hurricane, the leader was a tall and burly middle-aged man who looked to be just over 40 years old. His facial lines were hard and deep, and his body muscles were clearly defined, supporting his loose storm priest robe.

This is none other than the Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, Archbishop of the Rorsted Sea, Senior Deacon of the "Made-in-Punishment", and "Sea King" Yann Cotman.

He has deep blue eyes and hair of the same color that is twice as thick as normal people's, like little worms and tentacles.

Yann Kautman was followed by many "Made in Punishment" and military members. They were examining the surrounding environment with expectation and caution, and did not relax their requirements just because there was a demigod protecting them.

Just then, they heard a humming sound, and were immediately swept up by the hurricane and arrived at the entrance of the ruins hall in one breath.

They saw a huge sea snake lying inside, its flesh and blood turned into mud and its bones exposed. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

"Who is it!" Yan Kottmann suppressed his anger and growled.

As he shouted these words, a wave crashed down from above.

The waves bounced back and forth in the half-collapsed hall and quickly calmed down into a windless lake.

The lake reflects the previous scene:

An unclear figure pulled out a white short staff inlaid with a sapphire, causing the sea to surge and the ruins to shake.

Yan Kottman took a breath and said with his back to everyone:

"Find him."

…………

At this time, Klein had already selected a dozen relatively important believers and responded one by one, mainly by giving a new covenant:

“I have returned to pardon the past and redeem you.

“The first commandment: No living sacrifice, no human sacrifice.”
