The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 720 Theocracy... no longer exists

The basis of curse witchcraft is the belief that as long as a creature believes in this theory, his spirituality can attract mysterious forces and accomplish things that are completely contrary to common sense.

Cursed witchcraft can turn a kitten into a dragon, completely transforming its physical fitness and mass.

Similarly, as long as theory allows, the kitten can also turn into a dragon.

This is also the secret of why Cursed Crown was able to become the leader of the Curse School in those days with the strength of just entering the sixth ring.

He created a perfect theory that allowed him to do almost anything.

Of course, all of this is theoretical.

Any curse witchcraft has a success rate, and this success rate is inversely proportional to the degree to which the curse witchcraft distorts reality, and is directly proportional to the strength of the wizard, that is, the strength of the soul.

The stronger a wizard's soul is, the more spiritual he is. The more spiritual he is, the more mysterious power he can attract, and the easier it is to distort reality.

Theoretically speaking, when one reaches the level of a great wizard, even a wizard with a lower spiritual level can use some simple curse spells.

However, Richard seemed to have no spirituality at all because he was a time traveler. And what was terrifying was that the Curse School seemed to be familiar with Richard's situation.

"Who can compare with religion in terms of fictional theories?"

Richard looked at the holy light, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He felt that Cursed Corona gave him the curse principle just to make him have this idea.

In the Principles of Curse, the power of faith occupies a large part. Curse Crown had noticed this magical power a long time ago, and in his notes, he called this power a degraded mysterious power.

The power of faith can also distort reality, but the range of distortion is not large.

However, after Corona of the Damned saw the Web of Fate and the destined death, he shifted the focus of his research to fate.

The research on the power of faith was put on hold.

"But I have no spirituality, Lord Corona."

Richard scratched the back of his head with a headache. He was a spiritual insulator, which was verified by the Great Wizard of Curse Mark. At that time, Richard had not yet studied mysticism, so he did not doubt the theory of curse witchcraft.

The lack of spirituality means the inability to attract mysterious power, and curse witchcraft without mysterious power is just a shaman dance performed by rural witches.

But soon Richard turned his attention to the holy light in his hand.

Since the Cursed Crown calls the power of faith a degraded mysterious power, can he also use the theory of curse witchcraft to create a curse witchcraft based on the power of faith?

"It feels like it's worth a try." Richard said thoughtfully.

But now he needs to solve a problem. If he seals his memory, he will not know the principles of curse witchcraft and will not be able to create witchcraft.

But if he remembered the principles of witchcraft, he would not be able to perform a real curse witchcraft.

People cannot deceive themselves. Knowing the principles of curse witchcraft, Richard would never be able to create a curse witchcraft that he could use - even if he possessed spirituality.

Perhaps this is why Curse Corona did not give this notebook to his students.

Not everyone has a will as strong as Cursed Corona. A great wizard discovered that what he had studied for most of his life was actually a lie.

Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel devastated.

"Should I weave some false memories for myself?"

Richard pinched his brows with a headache. False memory is dangerous if it is not used by a wizard of the Soul School. Even a great wizard could become schizophrenic if he is not careful.

After thinking for a moment, Richard felt that there was no need to take the risk.

He had a safer way of doing this.

Richard said to himself, "If I can get Ulises United Theological Institute to give me a new result, I should be able to believe it. This may be a little troublesome, but it is safer."

Having made up his mind, Richard used his power to contact Ulysses.

While concealing the principle of the curse witchcraft, Richard revealed his thoughts.

However, even so, Ulises was somewhat emotional.

"Huh? What the hell are you guys researching over there? If you can create magic just by believing, then doesn't everyone among us gods have a magic?" Ulysses shouted excitedly.

His reaction was not surprising. After all, anyone who heard that the ability he used was something that a person could create with just a little thought would be a little anxious.

"It's just an experiment for me," Richard replied, "You make up a theory based on your experience, which seems quite comprehensive, and then hide some of the content to make it look like it has not been explored yet.

This knowledge has a very good origin and is unlikely to be false.”

"Gah, you guy... oh, I get it."

Ulises sighed helplessly. This was not a very troublesome matter. Since Richard insisted on doing the experiment, it would not mind him helping out.

Thinking of this, he used his understanding of the power of faith to make up a theory that seemed reasonable but was actually pure fabrication.

Since this conclusion certainly could not be proposed by Ulysses, he immediately returned to the fairyland world, used its portal to return to the goblin world, and found a group of priests from the Institute of Divine Arts.

"Gah, you are about to go on a top-secret mission, and all your memories of participating in the mission will be erased. Are you willing?"

The priests crossed their hands over their chests and replied in church etiquette: "We will obey the oracle and will not refuse even if it means death."

Soon, Richard heard Ulises' voice.

"Gah, I'm ready."

When Richard heard this, he immediately sealed his memory as planned and left himself a note to mislead his judgment.

After a moment, Richard looked at the note in his hand with a frown.

[Mysterious power is corroding, and memory is the medium. The corrosion has not been completely eliminated, so don't use the Eye of Delusion Breaking in the near future.]

"Curse witchcraft is such a troublesome thing. What on earth is Corona giving me this for?"

Richard had no doubt about the authenticity of the note because he trusted himself. After throwing it aside with a grumble, he began to think about what to do next.

At the same time, Ulises' voice sounded in Richard's ears at the right time.

"Richard, the Institute of Divine Arts has made some progress. Come and take a look." "Oh? What happened recently? Is there a technological explosion?"

Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise on his face. Divine magic is one of his most important means at this stage, and any breakthrough in his research is worth learning.

"Open the door, I'll be right there."

……

At the Divine Arts Academy, the priests in charge of performances gathered in the hall, quietly waiting for Richard's arrival.

These priests had been hypnotized by Ulises and were convinced that they had discovered a secret of divine power, otherwise their pure lies would have been seen through by Richard.

Soon, a series of holy light stairs suddenly appeared in the void. Richard walked down the stairs with a friendly smile on his face.

The priests saluted respectfully to Richard. Richard glanced around the hall and said with a hint of doubt:
"The bishop doesn't know this news yet?"

"Yes, my Lord. The Raven God was right beside us when we succeeded, so the news did not pass through the Bishop."

Richard nodded slightly. "Is that so? Then don't worry about them for now. Let me see what you found."

As the leader of the priests and dean of the Institute of Divine Arts, Martin walked up to Richard holding a long box.

"My Lord, this is our achievement."

Richard raised his finger and the contents of the box pushed open and flew out.

It was a very ordinary-looking divine staff, and the rune array on it was also ordinary, with nothing special about it.

However, the moment Richard touched the rod, he sensed that it contained a cycle different from that of alchemy.

Richard subconsciously wanted to use the Eye of Truth, but the warning on the note made him give up the idea.

"What's the use of this thing?"

The priest said respectfully: "My Lord, you may as well give it a try."

A hint of interest flashed across Richard's face. He held the magic staff and tried to guide the power in it with his mental strength. Then he waved it in the air, and a ball of light appeared at the tip of the magic staff. A blazing beam of light shot out from the ball of light, instantly melting a hole in the wall.

"Is this... the Vision of the Sun?"

Richard recognized what the beam of light was imitating; its features were too obvious.

"Yes, my Lord, this is what we created in imitation of your great deeds." Martin said in an almost aural tone.

"When we were studying divine arts, we unexpectedly discovered that your every move has special meaning. As believers, when we imitate your actions, we will experience a special blessing.

As we researched further, we discovered that different actions bring about completely different intensities of blessings, and the effects of the blessings vary greatly.

And this blessing reaches its strongest point when we imitate your great deeds.

If our faith is sincere enough, our spirits can even resonate with you and imitate your great deeds at that time."

"Huh? Can this still happen?"

Martin's description startled Richard. He looked at Ulysses standing beside him, only to see Ulysses nodding seriously.

"You are the Lord God, your status is there. A single word from you can turn a machine into a holy object. It is normal for devout believers to imitate your behavior and release pseudo-divine magic."

"Pseudo-divine magic?"

"Gah, of course, do you think this is a real magic?"

Ulises' endorsement eliminated Richard's last bit of doubt about this seemingly absurd theory.

He murmured to himself, "The road to truth is indeed endless. I didn't expect there would be such a thing."

After saying that, he looked at Ulises again.

"Will this thing work for me?"

Ulises suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously: "Yes. You can use the power of faith to reproduce the great deeds."

Richard nodded thoughtfully, then looked sharply at Ulysses.

"Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Ulises rolled his eyes at him and said in a pretentious manner: "Gah, it's useless when it can be mentioned, and I can't mention it when it's useful."

Richard had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Ulises noticed this and thought that he was really troublesome and even the sealed memory couldn't scare him.

Thinking of Richard's plan, he spoke again: "But now that you have discovered it, I can tell you some things. Come with me to the secret realm and try to reproduce the great deed."

"Recreate the great deeds? How?"

"Just imitate your every move at that time."

After entering the secret realm, Richard followed Ulysses' instructions and began to imitate his every move when he killed the Lord of the Abyss.

He was flying in the air, and suddenly swirling holy light runes appeared outside his body.

The power of faith passed through these runes like magic, and a crack leading to the territory of the fire element suddenly appeared.

The next moment, a ray of holy light, the Sun's Vision, flashed across the sky, burning a hill on the edge of the secret realm into magma.

"Wow, the simulation is pretty good."

Richard looked at the molten mountain and said in a surprised tone. He looked at Ulysses, ready to listen to any suggestions Ulysses had.

But when he looked at Ulises, he saw that the crow's eyes were wide open, its beak was open, and the whole bird was petrified.

Richard heard him mumbling.

"Theurgy... no longer exists."
