A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The church is almost there!

He clearly possesses such an awesome thing as the Divine Revelation Technique, but he only uses it to sell for money...

How come there isn't even a single Protector of the Nation? At least use divine inspiration to get a Protector of the Nation to stay in Rome!

Not to mention its practical use, it is even needed just to keep up appearances!

It can only be said that his understanding of the divine enlightenment technique is not enough.

Although the Divine Revelation Technique can create a national protector, it is more likely that it can only create a half-step national protector!

Human beings cannot truly understand and feel the state of their own bodies.

Too many people are in their twenties and thirties, seemingly free of any problems. But once they reach forty, they're plagued by a flurry of ailments, both major and minor, yet manage to hold on. By the time they reach their fifties and sixties, old injuries resurface, and they've gone from prodigy to weakling.

He thought that the other party was just a Byzantine plot, but he didn't expect that there were so many implications behind it.

"Now, I've told you everything I know, and you promised to let me go..."

Thomas smiled and suddenly attacked.

He swung his sword fiercely towards Terra's neck.

Terra instinctively drew his sword to block, but unexpectedly discovered that the sword had very little power and was deflected by him.

But then, I felt a pain in my chest.

When he looked down, Thomas's other sword had already pierced his chest, the sharp blade deeply penetrating the armor and embedding into the flesh.

This is a classic dual-wielding move, and ordinary one-handed swords cannot achieve this effect.

"you……"

He stood there blankly, his pupils rapidly dilating.

"That's what the weak are like. They rely on the kindness of others for everything they have..." Thomas sighed softly.

"Your destiny can only be controlled in your own hands!"

At this point, all the troubles present were gone.

Thomas did not simply deal with it, but opened his own private demiplane and moved all the bodies in.

As for the bodies of the two hired guards, they were placed on the outside. They were to be given to their companions upon their return.

They also have to pay pensions.

"Thomas, your fighting style... is... unique!"

Just as Thomas was cleaning up the mess, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.

"Ah, senior, are you awake?" Thomas asked.

"Well, I just woke up a while ago. You call me 'senpai'... well, you should call me Prasda. It's more comfortable that way."

"Is there anything wrong with my fighting style?" Thomas was a little curious.

"It's not that it's inappropriate, but..." The voice hesitated for a long time. "This doesn't seem like the way gods fight."

Ah, is there any distinction in this battle?

Thomas thought he had played pretty well before.

Although it is said that when defending the country against the elite, you will win no matter how you fight... but winning does not mean that you can wipe out the enemy.

People can escape and run away.

A rabbit can never beat a lion, but no lion can guarantee it will catch a rabbit, especially when there are more than one rabbit.

"A god would never fight in such a barbaric manner. For example, they would never deliver a heavy blow like the one just now, smashing both the spear and the skull together in one blow," the other said darkly. "It seems you truly have accidentally acquired an ancient inheritance."

The sword strike just now was not so much an exquisite sword move as it was relying on great strength to forcibly kill the opponent with one strike.

Use the sword as a war hammer!

"I was a bit hasty..." Thomas admitted that his moves were indeed unskillful. "How do gods fight then?"

"Disrupt the enemy," the voice said. "Use your domain to disrupt the enemy!"

"Disrupt? Disrupt how?"

"Affect his mind and senses, making him unable to think, react, hear, or see normally," the voice said. "Then you can easily succeed. This is the fighting style befitting a god."

Thomas almost immediately recalled his battle with the Star-Moon Cult's protector, Herzl Reiss.

At that time, on the sea, the opponent inexplicably used a move that made Thomas instantly fall into deep-sea phobia.

But Thomas had practiced the mystic art of Steel Soul, and had already trained his spirit to the limits of human nature. With his iron will and intense focus, he could resist most forces that could corrode his will.

So the opponent's move did not succeed.

Thomas didn't take it seriously.

Only now do you realize that this method is the gods' normal combat mode?

Damn, I can only say that every veteran defender of the country is not simple!

Disturb the other person's mind and senses?

He thought as he placed the body on the horse's back.

The Steel Soul Secret Art itself contains similar techniques.

It’s not difficult.

Through the mental field (now the spiritual field), limited interference with the enemy's will can be achieved.

For example, the Nightmare Sword is a sword move of this type, which forcibly affects the opponent's mind and temporarily distracts the opponent.

But if you combine the power of the spiritual field and the realm...

Thomas suddenly realized that this actually worked!

This is a layer of window paper. It is extremely difficult before it is broken, but once it is broken, everything will become easy.

"I see... I understand."

When gods fight, they never display great power like the guardians of the country. Instead, they appear clumsy.

This is the reason why it is said that great skill does not require effort.

From this, we can see that the Wolf God is actually just an explorer, and he doesn't have the skills to match the status and power of a god.

Chapter 347 Origin 1

Human bodies cannot be left behind because someone will definitely come to track down their whereabouts.

These people are no different from others.

Just leave the dead horse here. It's very common for a horse to die in the wilderness.

Horses are far more fragile than humans.

A dead horse isn't much evidence! Especially since the horse is Thomas's.

Thomas started back on the remaining horse.

He estimated that he would be able to return to the team in an hour at most.

As for what happened next, he also figured it out.

I can't go back to Rome as planned.

The new Pope is up to something bad over there!

Thomas made up his mind not to go through Rome again, but to go directly back to the Knights.

You have to take control of your own destiny. Don't leave anything to chance.

If I continue to stay in Rome...

As long as the new Pope is shameless and secretly mobilizes troops for a siege, there is a high probability that Thomas will be killed directly.

A large number of ants can really kill an elephant, but human power is ultimately limited.

Thomas originally thought that everyone could sit down and discuss things. After all, with the Church's backing, the Knights could still solve many problems and reduce a lot of trouble!

No matter how powerful you are as the new Pope, you wouldn't attack a Grand Master like me for no reason, right? We don't have any deep hatred.

But now I know that money can move people’s hearts!

Of course, ordinary money cannot move the Pope's heart, but artifacts and national defender-level warriors can.

The Pope had a good plan. He wanted to take the national defenders away from Thomas and send them to the front line of the Holy Land!

In this way, you can preserve the holy land at no cost, gain a good reputation, and make a profit for yourself!

Thomas suffers all the losses, and the new Pope benefits all the benefits!

I just don’t know if you’ve asked Thomas!

In fact, if Leo XI stepped in and persuaded people with both reason and emotion, it would not be impossible.

After all, Thomas has the golden apple tree in his hand, so he really has no shortage of protectors. Within a year, he can get five more protectors!

But they started suppressing, blackmailing and extorting him, and Thomas was not willing to do anything about it.

The Knights Templar were ultimately an independent organization, nominally loyal to the Pope, but in reality they could completely disregard his orders. They could even disregard neither orders nor orders!

Anyway, I will come less often in the future, or even not at all!

As long as he doesn't covet any benefits from the church, Thomas can turn a deaf ear to any orders and edicts from Rome!

Thomas had made up his mind and figured out what to do next.

"Plasda, what exactly is a domain?" Thomas asked casually while riding his horse at a quick pace.

"You already have the domain, how come you don't know?"

"I do have a domain, but no one told me. I learned it by imitating others."

This was not a lie. This ability called domain was indeed something Thomas learned from observing the Wolf God.

Of course, the Wolf God would not tell Thomas about the relevant knowledge of the domain.

Thomas once wanted to ask Thor for advice, but unfortunately the talks broke down.

"Simply put, the domain is the first step on the road to becoming a god."

“Someone told me that the first step on the road to godhood is to learn how to know, how to receive, and how to give,” Thomas said.

"That's right. You can think of it as stages. But each stage also has a beginning and an end. You're talking about the beginning of the first step, and the realm is the result you get after completing the first step!"

"This is also the fundamental difference between demigods and gods!"

"A so-called demigod, though he's called a demigod, is in reality just a human. If he wants to do something, like fight, he can only rely on his own hands, his own body, and his own extraordinary abilities. In this respect, he's no different from a mortal. His mind and will can't be used directly in combat. Once his body suffers irreparable damage, he's killed. His mind, his soul, is also shattered into dust."

"But quasi-gods are different. Their so-called domain is the projection of their powerful spirit and soul into the material world. It's the prototype of a divine domain...or perhaps even the prototype of a divine kingdom. A deity can use its consciousness to modify the material world within its domain to a certain extent."

I seem to understand, but also seem not to understand.

"So, what's the use of the domain?"

"Its most basic function is to repel all other forces to a certain extent, the most typical example being magic. This is also the instinctive manifestation of the 'self' of all intelligent creatures. When the domain becomes stronger, when it can distort or even change the laws of the material world, it will no longer be a domain, but rather a divine domain. If the divine domain can exist stably, it can be called a divine kingdom."

Divine Realm...

Thomas remembered the nightmare maze that appeared when Malovit descended into the material world in Kiev.

That should be a divine domain or a divine kingdom or something like that.

It completely changed the laws of the material world, including time and space, forming a bizarre environment known as the Nightmare Maze.

"So, how do we strengthen our domain?"

"The simplest way is to fill it with various elements. Find those elements that match yours and add them to your territory. This way, within your territory, you will be strengthened, while enemies that don't match those elements will be weakened."

"But if the enemy also matches, then it will be ineffective?"

"Yes, so you have to fill in more than one element. It's impossible for someone to be completely compatible with you. They will always be affected by some incompatible elements and be weakened."

"Where do these things called 'elements' come from? How do I know if they suit me?"

"This... I don't remember," the voice said. "I've lost some of my memory."

Thomas was speechless.
