Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 356 Summoning Divine Energy Bodies
In fact, the White Magic Staff's modification was thanks to the newly discovered Soul Gem.

Based on this artifact, Namiesis developed a new function for it—[Summoning Divine Energy Bodies].

The three strands of divinity within the White Staff are rare treasures, found only once every ten thousand years in the Prime Material Plane. Although with only this one strand of divinity, Nemesis cannot utilize the power of authority as strong as the [Twisted Eye], [Divine Magic] is still an extremely powerful ability.

Each wisp of divinity, due to the different divine roles of its master god, has a significantly different impact on divine spells. This is why Nemesis, in his research on the spells of the [Dark Seed], leaned towards divinity.

Divinity contains an extremely domineering and supreme power. Under normal circumstances, without the help of the gods, few mortals can use means to bear divinity in the body of a living person.

In fact, for mortals, the only way to use divinity for their own benefit is to use it to level up or increase attribute points, which is a waste of its potential.

On the contrary, using inanimate objects to carry the sacred, and forging divine artifacts with divinity, is the most cost-effective way for mortals to utilize divinity.

That was exactly what Namiesis was originally like.

But the appearance of the Soul Stone changed this situation.

Nemesis possessed an ability that even the gods might not have—the ability to create souls from nothing.

Those were truly nascent souls, like blank sheets of paper. As the creator, Nemesis could define those souls according to his own preferences—such as absolute loyalty to him, or extraordinary talent in arcane arts, martial arts, or other certain areas.

Of course, the more gifted and brilliant a soul is, the more mana it requires. With Namiesis's current mana pool, it can basically only create souls with the intelligence of ordinary people.

But what truly attracted Namiesis at this moment was not this ability to rewrite the soul, which was like a cheat code for life.

"Master, is this the divine artifact you created yourself? Its appearance is so beautiful that it's impossible not to admire it." The blind Losrian praised the [White Magic Staff] in Namiesis's hand.

Don't underestimate a prophecy mage. Although Losrien is blind, he knows everything around him perfectly.

Namiesis did not reply, but instead suspended the White Staff in mid-air and gently touched the jewel at the top of the staff, which carried divinity, with the index finger of his left hand.

An immense, almost tangible surge of magical power erupted from Namiesis's fingertips. A sudden gust of wind arose, and the terrifying magical pressure made it difficult for Corité and Losrien, who were standing nearby, to breathe.

The immense magical power, almost equivalent to that of a dozen legendary mages combined, vanished completely in mere seconds, the jewel at the tip of the White Mage's Staff absorbing it all. At the same time, Namiesis's eyes shone with an orange-yellow light that could almost illuminate the entire hall.

"I have given you life, by my command."

Namisis's murmured voice rang in Losrien's ears. The half-elf, who was proficient in divination magic, suddenly froze, his body covered in goosebumps.

Something appeared in the void he couldn't see.

Like a fledgling struggling frantically to break free from the membrane of its eggshell, that unknown entity is using its not-so-sharp claws to forcefully pry open the cracks leading to the real world.

The next instant, Losrien trembled, his expression turning inexplicably fanatical: "Ah, what is this? What awe-inspiring power! You always bring tears to my eyes, great master." He sensed it; even though there was nothing in front of him in the eyes of a mortal, Losrien saw it with the 'mind's eye' of a prophet: the soul that had just been born into the world, pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Namiesis looked with satisfaction at the orange-yellow orb of light at his fingertips, which was exactly what the primordial soul looked like.

He did not make any changes to this newborn soul, allowing it to remain in a state of ethereal emptiness.

Because this is a necessary condition for merging with divinity!
The orange-yellow ball of light in his hand seemed to be attracted by something within the jewel, and with a 'whoosh,' it flew into the jewel. Soon, a thin line burning with a sunset-like crimson flame wrapped around the ball of light, and eventually the two merged together.

This is precisely the effect of Namiesis's modification of the Dark Seed arcane technique.

He discovered by chance that pure souls actually had a very good compatibility with the highly repulsive divinity. After creating a soul for the first time and successfully fusing it with Zalthek's bloody war divinity, Namiesis then attempted to fuse it with Vek'na's arcane necromantic divinity, and succeeded again.

Now, the renewed success of the Sun God's divinity has convinced Nemesis that the blank soul created by the Soul Gem has become the best vessel for divinity!
These souls merged with divinity and, in some wondrous way, became part of the White Staff, becoming part of the artifact's spirit.

Nemesis can even summon them!
"Appear before me, you predator who lurks beneath the sun," Namiesis said softly, his eyes closed and gripping the White Magic Staff.

Soon, a yellow energy entity, about 20 meters long and resembling a hyena, appeared in the hall. The hall, which had been magically regulated and maintained a very cool temperature even in summer, was suddenly plunged into an intense heat, like that of a scorching hell.

The documents on the table spontaneously combusted without any wind, and the almost suffocatingly high temperature emanated from the energy body.

"This is a divine energy body?!" Losrien gasped, his handsome face now devoid of any composure, filled with shock. Meanwhile, Colette, completely clueless, appeared rather dull.

Namisis nodded slightly.

The creature before you is a product of the fusion of the divinity and soul of the sun god.

"Roar~~ Master~~" The hyena walked affectionately to Namisis's side and tried to rub its huge head, which was as tall as a person, against its master.

Namiesis pushed it away in disgust, afraid that the high temperature would burn away the underwear he was wearing today.

Two more such energy entities reside within the White Staff. Just as different deities possess different forms, these energy entities also have distinct appearances.

However, their abilities are remarkably consistent—they naturally transform magic into divine magic!
These energy entities are like Namiesis's clones, except that they possess intelligence that the clones lack.

As long as Nemesis continuously supplies magic to the White Staff, the summoned divine energy entity can use its master's magic to unleash spells etched into its instincts.

Some of these spells are divine magic, while others are arcane spells used by mages. Regardless of their nature, the power that these energy beings can wield must conform to their divine attributes. Furthermore, the spells they cast will inevitably be transformed into greatly enhanced divine spells under the influence of divinity.

The White Magic Staff now offers the ability to summon divine energy entities three times a day. These entities have no time or distance restrictions after being summoned, and will only return to the jewel when defeated by an enemy, awaiting their next appearance in the mortal realm.

The only way to completely destroy these three energy entities is to destroy the main body that houses these three strands of divinity—the White Demon Staff.

[Summoning Divine Energy Bodies] showed Nemesis the possibility of living beings utilizing divinity; at least the three souls he created had already become immortal monsters by relying on divinity.

In his future vision, the next step for the [Dark Seed] is to design how to integrate divine energy into the caster's body, thereby indirectly gaining the possibility of manipulating divinity.

Directly merging with divinity is unrealistic, but the souls created by Nemesis perfectly master divinity, and these souls obey the commands of their creator—Nemesis himself.
