Then came the gathering of believers. I went to war-torn countries to find refugees and give them strength and food. They quickly began to worship the two offspring, and the experiment progressed steadily.
Day 850 of the experiment
More than three months later, they became fanatical and spontaneously promoted the two churches without my intervention. At the same time, I could clearly feel a faint power of faith gathering within them.
If a sect simply chooses to worship anything, such as an ordinary tree or an ordinary animal, it certainly won't be able to generate any power of faith.
As I predicted, the evil god's offspring's power became an excellent catalyst, enabling believers to concentrate their faith even across extremely long distances.
Next, we'll bring two people here to absorb the power of faith and see if we can clear away the remnants of will within them.
Day 872 of the experiment
The new method worked! The two successfully absorbed the power of faith, and their mental dream underwent a slight change. Some specks of light rose from the ground, and at the same time, an area about the size of a thumb returned to its normal color!
Upon seeing this, Maginos seemed to have discovered a brand new path, and she flipped through the book even faster, turning to the very end of the overview.
The following paragraphs made her squint.
The experiment ultimately failed, and the last batch of offspring still could not escape the control of the Father God.
The faith was fine at first, but as the experiment progressed, many unexpected situations gradually occurred.
Some people, after hearing the prayers of the believers, fell into confusion and madness due to the disorder of their consciousness, and eventually died because their souls were not strong enough.
Some churches were neglected for a period of time due to the negligence of legendary sorcerers, and as a result, the names and statues worshipped by the church changed after that period.
The face on the statue was blurred, and the emblem became a large hand and a skull, which were originally the emblems of the god of slaughter and the god of fear.
The two offspring connected to that church one day unleashed a powerful force through the accumulated faith, nearly striking the legendary mage's robes.
This is too dangerous. To solve these problems at their root, we need to improve the strength of the test subjects and the intensity of their souls.
But if I let them improve, I might not be able to stop them if they get out of control again.
Fortunately, I've already used up the last batch of evil god offspring. I'm not the kind of person who'll push myself to the limit, so the experiment can end here.
The experiments I conducted during this period have been very beneficial, but unfortunately they were mostly impractical and not even useful to me personally.
Never mind, that's it. But I still hope my records can help someone in the future.
Chapter 330 is here.
"You have already helped me a great deal, the great legendary mage Zodrin Mekaira."
After reading the overview, the girl sincerely thanked the legendary mage for the record. The first half confirmed her vague guesses, and the second half provided her with new routes and ideas.
Overall, as a mid-level cultivator, she already has the opportunity to establish her own sect and then use the power of faith to cleanse the spiritual remnants in her consciousness.
However, this matter cannot be rushed; being too anxious will only lead to more harm than good. Maginus plans to take it slowly. There are still more than four years until the first danger mentioned by the ancient tree, and nineteen years until the second danger.
Right now, she's only dealing with mortals. It would be better to wait until she reaches the pinnacle of mortal power before considering matters related to gods.
Of course, preparations should be made beforehand so that the sect can be dealt with in one go.
After setting up the overview, Maginus began to peruse the large amount of specific experimental data, searching for what she needed.
Time flies, and nearly half a year later, Red Sparrow City, which is near the cold zone, has entered winter. The north wind blows from the north, and the sharp, cold wind blows against the faces of the people.
The craze for the ruins has long since faded, and most of the adventurers and other personnel who gathered there have returned to their own territories. Although Red Sparrow City is nice, it is ultimately not their own territory.
The biggest beneficiaries of the ruins were undoubtedly the four great families of Red Sparrow City. It is said that they found potions or formulas related to longevity. Currently, the legendary spellcasters of the four great families seem to have returned to their manors and begun refining longevity items.
As for the group that suffered the greatest losses, it was naturally the Bloodstained Society. Not only did they fail to obtain the most important high-level equipment, but they also suffered heavy losses, with a large number of low- and mid-level equipment being lost, and even some high-level equipment dying.
Meanwhile, many of their strongholds in Red Sparrow City have been wiped out, and the Bloodstained Society has entered a period of complete retreat. However, they have already made a bold statement that they will definitely find Maginus and kill her.
Many people mocked the Bloodstained Guild for making such a big fuss over a mere mid-level professional.
Just when everything seemed to have calmed down at Red Sparrow City, a large number of small teams appeared at the city gate. The guards were taken aback when they saw them, recalling the orders from above.
These teams come from various countries, all with the same goal.
Find Maginus Imperius, kill her or capture her.
The large procession attracted the attention of local residents, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the city, making everyone aware of their purpose.
However, the local residents were not too nervous or afraid. Red Sparrow City is a big city with many legendary figures hidden inside. No one knows how many old high-ranking officials and legends are in the streets and alleys.
There may be crimes such as murder and robbery, but large-scale destruction is rare.
Two high-ranking fighters were once planning to destroy a city block, but before they could even begin, they both inexplicably collapsed.
Yes, the Red Sparrow City has seen countless instances of people being killed by hidden masters.
"This is Red Sparrow City."
The group that had a grudge against Maginot, who were there to capture her, and the group that was only ordered to kill her, entered Red Sparrow City. They looked at the city with great curiosity, and the people in the carriages lifted the curtains to look around.
After entering the city, the group parted ways, each heading towards their designated inn or noble estate.
……
"Hey, Miss Ilsis, thank you for the wine."
Website: www.53dushu.com QQ Group: 284251450
"You're welcome."
Holding up a glass of orange juice to an adventurer, Maginus, as Ilsis, had become quite well-known in the city, recognized by many, from adventurers to high-ranking officials.
She also used this identity and talent to solve many cases, thus becoming a well-known stalker.
Having successfully integrated into Red Sparrow City, Maginos awaits the arrival of her pursuers.
"Gods above! Guess what I just saw!!"
A somewhat disheveled bard rushed in, and upon hearing that Maginus was treating, immediately ordered a glass of ale, downed most of it in one gulp, and then, panting heavily, waved his arms wide.
"God, a huge group of guys are chasing after Maginus, the Son of Slaughter, outside! The scene is just like when they were investigating the Bloodstained Society!"
The bard's description aroused the curiosity of many people in the tavern. They called out to the bard to continue his narration, and he coughed, picked up his harp, and began to play and sing impromptu.
Maginos listened to the song, but seemed a little distracted, half of her attention focused on another body.
A kilometer away, the gray-haired girl who had been lying on the bed like a corpse opened her eyes, got up and rubbed her neck.
Maginus's new vest, named May, was put into action shortly after it was created.
She opened the window, which faced the road leading to one of the city gates of Redbird City, where a large number of carriages and people were coming and going from the inn.
She saw those who wanted to kill or capture her, their carriages blatantly bearing national or family crests.
Upon seeing a magnificent golden carriage, the girl's eyes twitched, and her heart, as hard as stone, felt a pang of pain once more.
Seeing that the person inside seemed to be about to draw back the curtains, Maginus tilted her head back. At the same time, Inserluti glanced at the outside world through the carriage window, her gaze passing over the open window without lingering.
After she closed the curtains, Maginus looked outside again and noticed Desna, with whom she had once fought and defeated the devil, as well as the few survivors and the new members of their team.
In the corner, Kent, Wright, and others, who had searched for her several times over the past six months, were squatting there, seemingly observing the crowd and the surrounding residents.
After closing the window, "Mae" lay back on the bed in low-power mode. In the tavern, Maginus finished her orange juice, paid for everyone's drinks, and turned to walk home.
Hopefully they can't find any evidence that I'm still in Red Sparrow City, and they'll leave soon.
Maginus thought to himself that he didn't want to run into them, then turned to look at the corner of the street. A dark figure darted out from the corner: "Master!"
The girl stopped Neke, who was covered in dust, and asked, "Where did you go?"
Neko was able to go out and act on her own about four months ago, and with the increase in Maginot's psionic range, she can get there in time even if there is a problem.
This cat took up the job of a petty thief, specializing in breaking into wealthy shops to steal things. With its keen senses and agile movements, it has never failed to steal anything so far.
Besides petty theft, she also took on assassination missions, but only a few, and her skills were still not very strong.
"Oh, I crawled through some cracks, so I'm covered in dust."
Neko smiled and leaned closer, but Maginus blocked her with his finger. The two walked towards the house, and as soon as they reached the door, they found a group of people waiting outside.
"You must be the famous detective, Miss Ilsis, right?"
Upon seeing her, the bespectacled leader gave her a respectful smile.
Chapter 331 Emblems and Elements
"Hello, everyone, who are you...?"
Maginus kept a certain distance from the group, secretly guessing their intentions, but asked them questions without showing any emotion.
The handsome, middle-aged man with glasses smiled and said, "We are adventurers representing the Kingdom of Setilor. There is only one reason for our visit, which I'm sure you can guess."
Settylor, Maginus knew of this country. It was one of the higher-ranking and more powerful kingdoms in the alliance. It seemed that it had later seized a piece of land from Nessere.
"You've come to kill the goddess Maginos, don't you? You want me to go with you to find her?"
"Yes."
The leader nodded, his gaze shifting to Neko behind Maginos before returning to her:
"My abilities may not be of much help, since it's just about detecting subtle traces."
The girl reminded him again, as if afraid that the leader might not know or misunderstand her abilities, but the bespectacled man just smiled and shook his head:
"It's just a matter of being prepared. We've also invited other people who are good at tracking and investigation. You're just one of them. Even if we can't find you, we'll still offer you a generous reward."
After hearing this, Maginos raised her hand to touch her neck, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll join. Tell me the meeting point. Also, do you represent only the Kingdom of Setilok, or just one team in the allied forces?"
“Naturally, it’s one of the teams in the coalition. We don’t have that much money to hire so many detectives.”
After seeing off the five-person team that came to invite her to participate in the "targeting Maginus" operation, Maginus turned her gaze away and waved to Neco, who was hiding behind her, and the two went inside together.
Once she confirmed that no one was around, her cautious and wary expression vanished, and she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Haha, them..."
Upon seeing its owner raise a finger to its lips, the cat immediately changed its tune, with remarkable speed:
"They actually invited you, Master, to participate in this kind of operation. Finding someone without any information is completely useless with your abilities!"
"If they escape after we find them, it might be useful."
While responding, Maginus sensed her surroundings, then turned her gaze to a corner, pointed, and indicated that there was an eavesdropping magic circle there, and that she should not speak carelessly for the time being.
Nei Ke nodded obediently, showing no intention of moving closer, and turned to go upstairs to take a shower.
Rubbing her fingers together, the girl returned to her room and took out a booklet from her dimensional bag. It was filled with drawings: faces, eyes, girls, hair, arms…
The drawings depict many body parts, some complex and some simple, but the only constant element is blood, with countless drops of blood surrounding these ever-changing body parts.
This is the emblem that Maginus drew in advance for the later establishment of the church; they are currently considering which one to use.
First, the emblem needs to be closely related to the deity and filled with elements related to the deity, so that it can symbolize the gods and leave a sufficient impression on believers.
For example, the symbol of the Endless Light is the three moments of the sun, Mother Earth is the ears of wheat on the soil, and the suffering are pale hands bound with red ropes.
Secondly, the emblem needs to be available in both a simplified and a high-quality version. It needs to be simplified enough to allow for mass production of badges and medals, so that ordinary people can also own and see them.
The finest ones are naturally held by priests or fanatics, and their carriages and flags are always of high quality and enlarged.
The elements of Maginus are somewhat abstract, such as killing, fear, and tyranny, so they need to be replaced with other tangible elements that can symbolize these things.
The experiments of the legendary mage contain records of the symbols used by the god of slaughter and the god of fear.
The God of Slaughter is a skull surrounded by blood droplets, while the God of Terror is a giant black hand clenched with green light. Indeed, they are basically the same as when the Ks manifested in the will of Maginus.
It's worth mentioning that the Sleeper, who is believed to be connected to K, is a golden scale supported by arm bones.
There is also the former God of the Dead, who lived in the same era as the two gods but did not come to this prime material plane; he is a white skull with his mouth open.
The elements a girl needs are nothing more than these: bones, skulls, blood, and body parts.
First of all, blood is essential. Blood itself represents life. Blood outside the body usually symbolizes violence, killing, and attack, which can easily induce fear. It may be caused by tyranny and war, and ultimately lead to the death of living beings.
Then came the choice between skeletons and flesh, and after hesitating for a while, she chose flesh.
The skull is closer to the concept of death. Maginus's power is more complex, bringing life to himself and death to others. Since the emblem symbolizes himself, his limbs should be full of vitality.
After discarding some of the drawings, Maginos ultimately chose one.
On the drawing paper, a slender hand with its five fingers spread out, palm facing down, can only be seen to be full of cracks, like cracks, or like the back of the hand with blood constantly flowing down, with blood dripping from the middle finger at the bottom.
The blood droplets fell not on the ground, but in a lake.
The uncolored parts resemble a lake, while the colored parts reveal that the "lake" is red, symbolizing a pool of blood.
After selecting the emblem, she took out another booklet containing a list of "divine duties" that Maginus might be involved in.
The legendary mages recorded in their experiments that they would gather together to chat and then speculate and study things related to the gods.
