Chapter 570: Pros and Cons of Becoming a God
"Enemy attack!"

"Energy cannon fires freely!"

"Oh no, this is a demigod-level pressure, quick! Activate the fear protection magic array!" In the control room on the negative fourth floor of the floating city, a level three crystallization peak wizard took a look at the energy intensity on the dashboard, his face immediately changed, and said.

Because the pressure from a demigod-level enemy alone is enough to destroy the will of most people, making them unable to fight at all.

"The opponent's characteristic values ​​have been matched. The opponent is the Plague Evil God!" another crystallized wizard shouted.

"Activate the shadow protection magic array immediately!"

"."

Orders were issued one after another from the command center, and almost all the combat machinery in the entire floating city was mobilized.

However, if someone familiar was here, they would find that two important figures - Hiram and Moria, the two metal-type dawn wizards, were not in the control room at the moment.

In addition, although a large number of defense and combat systems of the floating city have been activated.

But the biggest problem with the floating city is that the repairs have not been completed yet, so the first-level energy shield cannot be opened for the time being, and only some secondary protective magic arrays and energy cannons can be opened.

It is hard to say how much protection this can provide against demigod-level enemies.

As Erebus' tall figure stepped heavily on the surface of the floating city, a large number of mechanical chocobos and velociraptor combat machines were crushed into meat patties, and the thick metal ground was also stepped on with obvious dents.

"What a tiny ant!" Erebus casually crushed a mechanical octopus that was tens of meters in size into scrap metal and said disdainfully.

What was even more terrifying was the large patch of gray fog that spontaneously appeared around him.

Wherever it covered, a large number of combatants died instantly, which was one of the characteristics of its divine body that was comparable to the witchcraft 'Plague Cloud'.

Even mechanical creations are corroding and rusting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is not difficult to see that the demigod-level incarnation is much more powerful than the previous epic-level incarnation.

"Bang!!"

He smashed the meter-thick metal surface with one punch, and reached in with both hands to tear it apart.

Erebus knew very well that although these were just ants and would not cause him any trouble at all, the problem was that humans were still tricky to deal with, so he had to speed up.

In addition, even for a demigod-level incarnation, it would be difficult to infiltrate the multi-layered floating city below with plague and poison alone. Therefore, the floating city would have to be destroyed to a certain extent first.

However, while attacking, he carefully observed his surroundings and did not dare to use his full strength.

Only after he completely broke into the second level did Erebus basically determine that the human full moon wizard Ryan, whom he feared, would not be able to come over in a short period of time.

"In that case, let them all die!" Erebus felt relieved and immediately began to attack with all his strength.

Suddenly, he sensed that the plague cloud that was seeping into the ground below was actually blocked by a high-level blue energy.

"Erebus, you are still so disgusting!"

"Likes sneak attacks and plagues!"

At this time, a clear female voice that was extremely familiar to Erebus but seemed not to have been heard for a long time rang out.

I saw a large blue light emanating from all around, and a heroic female figure wearing a cockscomb-faced helmet slowly appeared.

"You you are Matilda!"

"You're not dead!"

Erebus looked extremely shocked, and his hands stopped moving involuntarily.

But soon he came to his senses.

Erebus first quickly looked at Matilda who appeared in front of him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that it was because he discovered that Matilda was only a demigod incarnation, not her real body.

"Matilda, you can't keep me here by yourself."

"Besides, haven't you heard a saying?"

"Destruction is easier than construction!"

Erebus chuckled and prepared to attack again.

At this moment, suddenly, two red energy beams attacked Erebus from the left and right sides respectively. Two ferocious Tyrannosaurus machines, each nearly a hundred meters in size, poked their heads out from the metal layer below.

These two are the repaired Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Kings, which were once the legion commander-level combat forces among the ancient goblins.

Although Hiram and Moria, two metal-type early Dawn wizards, plus the King of Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, are a little short of demigods, they can already cause considerable trouble to Erebus.

"Erebus, it seems that you need to take back what you just said."

Matilda sneered, then conjured up an energy spear in her hand, and with a flash of her graceful figure, she took the initiative to meet the enemy.

After just a few seconds, Erebus lost interest in fighting. He knew that the sneak attack plan had failed.

He had to get away as soon as possible, or else he would be in trouble when that human, Ryan, came.
Suddenly, he was stunned!
Because a human figure suddenly appeared in the sky above him. It was Ryan, the person he feared the most.

"How could you be so fast?!" Erebus opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise.

You have to know that it has not been more than thirty seconds since he launched the attack.

He didn't believe that Rune, Hela and the others couldn't even hold on for such a short period of time.

"Haha, are you talking about them?" Ryan smiled slightly and spread out his hands. Six small fragments of divine power of various colors appeared in front of everyone.

This scene naturally caused Erebus to change drastically in an instant, and his hundreds-meter-tall body actually trembled slightly!
"Shh!"

He was seen escaping quickly towards the other side of the sky.

"Can we leave?" Ryan raised the secondary key and pointed it at Erebus.

One pill!
Two pills!

三粒
As the three grains of crystal sand turned into white mist in the secondary key, Erebus's huge body actually flew back backwards.

"Matilda, you actually gave your artifact to this human!"

"Damn it!"

"Could this human be your illegitimate child?"

"Bitch!"

"You talk too much." Ryan's high-frequency blade slashed, and Erebus, who was cursing viciously, suddenly stopped moving, and the words he was about to say also came to an abrupt end!

The huge body of the god also began to disintegrate into black and gray spots of light, leaving only one fragment of the godhead that was much larger than the previous six and as big as a baby's head, floating in the air.

As Ryan stretched out his hand, the fragment of the godhead fell into his hand.

Seeing that Ryan killed the demigod incarnation of Erebus so easily, the goddess Matilda couldn't help but look at Ryan twice.

Half an hour later.

The bottom layer of the floating layer.

"This evil demon clone should only be imprisoned for less than half a month. King Ren, is your next plan to continue using the secondary key to extend the imprisonment time?"

Goddess Matilda stood next to the colorful hood and turned to ask Ryan.

Ryan didn't know where to start when asked Matilda's question.

After all, his plan was a little too shocking for everyone! "King of Rain, my advice to you is to absorb faith as soon as possible and transform into a demigod with a longer lifespan."

"Huh?" Ryan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Because he was promoted so quickly, he really didn't understand the difference between a Full Moon Wizard and a Demigod.

After all, from Matilda's tone, it is not difficult to hear that there are significant differences between Full Moon Wizards and Demigods, such as lifespan.

"Huh? You don't know?" Now it was Matilda's turn to be surprised.

However, she did not keep him in suspense, but explained the difference to Ryan in detail.

"If you choose to absorb faith, a faith connection will be established between you and the believers. Your body will also be transformed into a divine body. The relevant innate witchcraft will be transformed into a specific divine power."

After hearing the detailed narration from goddess Matilda, Ryan suddenly understood!

It turns out that by following the path of faith and becoming a demigod, accepting the people's faith can ignite the divine fire, achieve a divine body, and gain a long life.

As for wizards, it can be understood as choosing to take great power into oneself, but the life span will be more limited.

At least, in terms of lifespan, fifth- and sixth-level wizards are far from being comparable to the gods.

However, going forward, they will all end up in the same place.

"However, if you choose the path of faith, you will eventually be limited by your faith and unable to leave this world. Once you leave for the wizard world, your divine body will collapse."

Goddess Matilda looked at Ryan deeply again and added.

"Can't leave?" Ryan's face changed and he frowned immediately.

"Excuse me, but why did you choose to become a god at that time?" After a while, Ryan looked up and asked.

"If I hadn't done that at the time, perhaps the world would have been completely destroyed, with all humans enslaved or even devoured." Matilda said with a look of reminiscence on her face.

Ryan could hear a hint of helplessness in the other person's tone.

No wonder!
After native creatures are promoted to Full Moon Wizards, very few will choose the divine route.

However, this made Ryan admire the goddess of monsoon and ocean even more.

This goddess of monsoon and ocean before her may have to rely on the secondary key of the key of time to fight against the evil spirits and evil gods.

However, using the divine weapon consumes a lot of life, so the only way is to absorb faith and ignite the divine fire.

"Thank you. I will seriously consider this." Ryan bowed slightly to express his gratitude for the goddess' kindness.

Even though he admired her in his heart, Ryan would not take the initiative to say that he could absorb the fragments of the godhead so quickly. After all, it was really inexplicable.

"Well, King Ren, although you have obtained a lot of godhood fragments, within ten years, your strength will be further improved."

"But don't forget one important impact, that is, the fluctuations of energy tides will be more violent and faster than you think, so..." Matilda stopped here.

"I understand." Ryan nodded.

Because normally, even if it is a Full Moon Wizard, if he wants to absorb fragments of the Godhead, he needs to be very careful. It usually takes several years to completely absorb a small fragment of the Godhead, and the absorption loss is quite large.

at the same time.

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

Inside the Cologne Cathedral, which is filled with evil spirits.

Suddenly, half of the charcoal-like body cracked with a "crack", and extremely dense black evil spirit began to emerge from it, condensing into a ball of inky black mist in the air.

The black fog was surging, and suddenly, a black sickle like the forelimbs of a mantis stabbed out from it, followed by another one!
A few seconds later, more than a dozen black sickles stabbed out, arranged symmetrically like ribs, and a black heart appeared out of thin air and began to beat violently!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With every beat, the black body becomes thicker and more solid!
But it seems that the effect is far more than that, because even far away at the bottom of the floating city, the remains of the evil demon that was originally restricted by the sub-key of the Key of Time seemed to suddenly tremble with the rhythm of the black heart.

At this moment, the body of the evil demon in the Cologne Cathedral seemed to sense something. Wisps of evil spirit sank into the ground and quietly left its original position.

After one hour.

In the study of Rose Manor.

"Let's absorb these small pieces of the Godhead first."

Ryan crushed the six small pieces of the divine fragments with one hand, and the next moment, six groups of smoke of different colors drifted away.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded:

[Ding! Detected divine fragments that can increase the degree of spiritual fission. Yes/No to accelerate absorption? (Note: The system can remove impurities and can absorb all at once.)]

Ryan naturally chose "Yes!"

In an instant, he heard a series of roars and curses from evil gods.

But to Ryan, these were like a dirge sung by a loser for himself, like impotent rage, and were meaningless except for further highlighting his glory as a winner.

After being purified by the system, the remaining six strands of pure energy quickly rushed from Ryan's arms straight into his brain, like rivers flowing into the sea.

And in Ryan's spiritual sea, the pulsating spiritual fission core suddenly became stronger.

A few seconds later, after absorbing the energy, Ryan checked the attribute panel:
Spirit: 425 (fission 79%)

"Only 79%?"

Ryan had a bad feeling in his heart!
Because judging from this progress, even after he absorbs the medium-sized fragment of the godhead from Erebus, he will not be able to successfully advance to the level of the sixth-level wizard Sun Throne.

"From 49% to 79%, the improvement is quite significant."

“But these are six small fragments of the divine power. On average, wouldn’t each small fragment of the divine power only increase by 5%?” Ryan frowned slightly.

"It seems that the difficulty of advancing to the late stage of the Full Moon Wizard is more than twice as high as that of the early and middle stages."

"That's right. I haven't heard of anyone ascending to the Sun Throne in the past ten thousand years. If it were really that easy to do, a genius like Emperor Atlas would have done it long ago."

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to ignore all the things and absorb the last piece of the divine fragment first.

After a few seconds.
Looking at the somewhat dazzling value of 'Fission 93%' on the attribute panel, Ryan couldn't help but sigh:

"Sure enough! Even if I absorb a medium-sized fragment of the Godhead, I cannot be promoted to a level six wizard."

"This means that I still cannot borrow the real artifact, the Key of Time."

"However, after this battle, I'm afraid that the evil gods will not dare to show up again in the short term. I'm afraid I can't place my hopes on these evil gods anymore."

At this moment, the communication mark on Ryan's chest began to flash.

As Ryan tapped his fingers, Olena's voice came quickly:
"My Lord Iron Throne, Grand Astrologer Darion, in the newly repaired Astrologer Platform, combined with the power of several Grand Astrologers, he discovered Graham's whereabouts. He should be hiding in the Hammerfall Mountains."

Although Olena was only a third-level wizard apprentice, as Ryan's secretary, she obtained a special communication device from the floating city for daily communication.

"Okay! Say hello to Dallion and the other astrologers for me. I'll go to Hammerfall Mountains right away."

Ryan was very happy, he finally found it.

He hoped that the other party could summon the spider evil god Neyobrekan again this time. In this way, he would be able to obtain another fragment of the godhead, which would greatly help him break through.

After a moment's thought, Ryan disappeared into the study.
