The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"Ahhhh!"

Taking advantage of her distraction, the elven warrior roared, unleashing magic to push aside the surrounding life force, allowing himself to move again. He swung his sword at the terrifying enemy in front of him, shattering her body into pieces.

The Elf King took out another minor artifact, which looked like a kettle. As he chanted a spell, a strong suction force came forth.

Nothing happened.

Wait a minute, shouldn't her soul be sucked in?

The terrifying figure materialized once more, and Maginus couldn't help but sigh, even with a hint of helplessness. She plunged her sword into the elven warrior's neck and looked up at the elven spellcasters in the air:

"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Didn't I already tell you? My physical body was thrown outside the prime material plane a long time ago, and my soul naturally went with it..."

Uh, wait a minute, is it my own problem?

Maginos paused for a moment, but continued attacking the last warrior without stopping.

In short, what she originally thought was that the Elf King, knowing that her soul and body had been thrown outside the Prime Material Plane and were completely tainted by a curse, making it impossible for her to return to the Prime Material Plane, still wanted to use a lesser artifact to pull her soul back through her avatar and threads of faith.

But upon closer examination, it seems that the incarnation of the gnoll king would be accompanied by fragments of his soul, and the divinity bestowed upon the divine children by other gods would also be accompanied by a certain degree of consciousness, which is both a shackle and a protection.

Could the incarnation of a deity also possess a soul and will? I am an anomaly, shaping my body with my life force, and directly controlling this body with spiritual energy through threads of faith.

Others give their puppets energy to move on their own, but she controls the puppets to move using threads.

I don't know which one is better. I'll ask Mother Earth when the time comes. Of course, we still need to deal with the immediate issues first.

With her gaze fixed on the remaining few, Maginus quickened her pace.

Ignoring the Elf King's resentful gaze, Maginus drew her silver sword. She could clearly see the souls of these elves flying towards a certain place. Her gaze traveled far, far away, and she saw an elegant and handsome elf sigh slightly and throw his soul into a spatial tunnel.

On the other side of the tunnel, there was an atmosphere of both chaos and good, and the scent of many elves; it must be the Wilderness.

Chapter 698 The Incarnation of a God is Appearing

The elf turned her head and slowly bowed to Maginus, as if to express her gratitude. Maginus dared not be too arrogant with a chief god of a pantheon, so she returned the bow to show her respect.

When the time comes, I will come to repay your debt of gratitude, "deceased lady," and by the way, thank you again for not completely killing my children.

A clear, melodious voice reached her ears. Maginos, suppressing her emotions, curled the corners of her lips, picked up the three lesser artifacts that had fallen to the ground, and released a small amount of divine power to suppress the trapped spirit within.

After carefully assessing the situation, Maginus realized that the divinity was useless to her, so she simply packed all the spoils into the demiplane, including some damaged high-level equipment and reusable necklaces.

After clearing the battlefield, Maginus did not leave. She sat in the destroyed area, looked at the damaged forest around her, thought carefully, and then pressed her finger to the ground, releasing her life force.

The seeds that hadn't yet sprouted were forced to grow quickly into trees as tall as the surrounding trees, and the same was true for the flowers and plants. They didn't look like the goddess of death, but more like the goddess of life.

On the other side, upon learning that the entire royal family had died, leaving only the last princess, Vieira Francer Melanie, the council of elders immediately sprang into action. Jonas Siamod, a member of the council who was her teacher, led the bewildered young girl to the throne.

The Elven Church was ready and took over the duties of the royal family. The elders seemed to have sensed something and immediately humbled themselves, handing over all power to the church.

The saying "the older you get, the more shrewd you become" is not just a saying. The elders had absolutely no intention of vying for power or profit with God or the church, which was taking things seriously.

What? The Elf King and his children? Young, too young. How can a divine wretch compare to a divine incarnation? It takes courage to fight a divine incarnation, but it's all because they're too young and haven't seen a divine incarnation in action.

Even after the hasty succession ceremony, nearly two days had passed before a high-ranking spellcaster, his face filled with terror, finally arrived. He reached into his robes, took out a photocopy of a document, and tremblingly handed it to Maginus, who remained standing there.

"Deceased lady, here is the information you need."

The elders brought over the original document. After receiving the information, Maginus quickly flipped through it to understand the principles and solutions of the Dimensional Spider and the Dimensional Curse. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, which relieved the high-level spellcaster.

After putting down the documents, Maginus knew the elves were worried that she would storm the capital, so she turned around, opened a portal, and left the elven kingdom.

After seeing off the evil spirit, the spellcaster wiped the sweat from his brow and immediately reported the news to the council of elders.

They no longer cared about Maginus, but instead observed their own church, suddenly noticing that some of the important candles that had not been lit had now been lit.

Just as Maginus's journey to other temples would cause candles to spontaneously combust, the lighting of important candle flames signified the arrival of a deity, and the fact that the flame's color was exactly the same as the surrounding flames meant that the arriving deity was the one worshipped by this temple.

The drow elves, far away in other locations, learned that Maginus had retreated and regretfully pursed their lips. They had originally thought they could fight the entire elven kingdom to the death.

Unfortunately, the lack of unity among the higher-ups prevented them from having any major conflicts.

The drow elf, having completed her mission, turned to leave when her expression suddenly changed. She realized that the portal was locked. At that moment, members of various elven churches rushed into the room, swiftly suppressing the drow elves and sealing them away.

Similar scenes unfolded throughout the Elf Kingdom, where spies were exposed and killed without any chance of escape.

A divine incarnation has already appeared. It is estimated that because the war to destroy the world has not yet arrived, they forcibly sent their incarnations into battle ahead of time, resulting in the incarnations being much weaker than hers.

Maginus realized many things and became increasingly anxious, constantly analyzing and understanding the information in his mind, striving to make it his own.

The curse of the dimensional spider is actually a special kind of "dimensional anchor." Dimensional anchors anchor people and space in place, while the curse of the dimensional spider drags people along, completely sealing off the original space and preventing the cursed person from entering...

While analyzing the solution, Maginus, far away in another prime material plane, accelerated the removal of the curse. Sure enough, having a reference book was a good thing; the speed of removing the curse was now much faster, probably even faster than dealing with divinity.

As Lenya entered, she found Maginus sitting on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed. Not intending to disturb Maginus, she turned and quietly left. At that moment, another clone, probably only of a high rank, was created and headed towards the temple of the Earth Mother.

Upon entering the temple of Mother Earth, the aura carried by the avatar caused the lamps of worship to light up, and a bishop immediately came forward. Upon seeing Maginus, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest:

"Excuse me, could you...?"

“I have come in the name of the gods.”

Maginus nodded and looked at the statue, her expression shifting slightly. She then bid farewell to the bishop and left the temple. The bishop, Mother Earth, first breathed a sigh of relief, then shuddered as he realized the reason for her sudden departure. Overjoyed, he rushed out of the temple, only to find that the queen had vanished, leaving him alone at the door, filled with regret.

Maginus had already arrived at a city called "New Sprout City," where she witnessed druids, various humanoid creatures, and natural beings living in harmony. Following the guidance, she arrived at a flower shop.

The flower shop was deserted when a gentle, maternal voice came from inside: "Please come in and have a seat, Goddess of the Dead, give your spirit a good rest."

Composing herself, Maginos stepped into the flower shop. There was no overwhelming pressure or targeted scrutiny, only the fragrance and the ordinariness, as if it were just an ordinary little shop.

Relaxing from her tension, she sat down in front of a chair. Opposite her sat a woman who looked ordinary but grew more attractive with each glance. She had a broad mind and wore a simple gardener's uniform with a few mud stains on it.

Her face was without a single wrinkle, and she met Maginos's gaze with a tolerant smile, her eyes full of love, as if she knew everything and understood everything.

Gazing at the woman before him, Maginus was reminded of his own mother. He took a deep breath to compose himself, picked up the prepared herbal tea, took a large gulp, and, showing utmost respect, bowed his head and said:

"Dear Mother Earth, nice to meet you."

It was indeed her first time seeing the incarnation of the Earth Goddess, but the Earth Goddess had definitely seen her before and may have been watching her journey all along.

Chapter 699 The Reason for the War of Saints

"I imagine you have many questions for me. Go ahead and ask, and I'll tell you what I know."

Mother Earth set down her tea, gesturing for Maginos to speak. Her eyes were calm and smiling. Maginos, already increasingly relaxed, did not refuse. She twirled her fingers around the rim of the teacup and asked the simplest and easiest question to answer:

"Which is better, controlling an avatar through the thread of faith or controlling an avatar through a split soul?"

"It depends on the opponent's status. If you only use it to deal with mortals, the former is better. If you want to fight against gods of equal status, the latter is better. Otherwise, we gods would all use the former," Mother Earth replied.

The thread of faith is difficult to be affected by mortal things, but it is almost clearly visible to the gods. If the thread is pulled too hard, the line connecting that incarnation will break completely.

While splitting the soul doesn't pose this risk, the soul can easily be taken away by other items. Mortal objects can potentially imprison the incarnation, and this can be done with certain items, such as the divine water jug ​​that the Elf King finally pulled out.

Maginus's unique nature gives her avatars, which she controls with the Threads of Faith, a peculiar effect: even if their physical bodies are destroyed, they can be repaired with their life force. However, as enemies continue to grow stronger, this regenerative and immortal effect will decrease.

After explaining this to her, Mother Earth got up and went inside the flower shop. She took some cookies from the oven and placed them in front of the two of them. Maginos thanked her, picked up a cookie, took a small bite, and savored it. Then she asked her second question:

"Disaster is about to strike. Are you and the other gods really going to fall? What will happen to the entire continent of Knoil...?"

"Heh, this is my body, of course I won't let such a thing happen. The war of the gods won't be fought on my physical body, otherwise I would definitely take action to expel or even participate in it."

The Earth Mother shook her head, indicating that the gods had their own battlegrounds. She looked up at the sky, and Magnis seemed thoughtful; the Earth Mother's meaning was clear.

The battle between gods will take place in the universe.

"You don't need to worry, you still have a chance to win. All the gods can exert and transmit their power into this prime material universe, which requires the power of faith as a thread to pass through. Yes, it's similar to how you transmit energy through the power of faith."

In the time that followed, Mother Earth, like a kind mother, taught Maginus some common knowledge about the gods, as if she were teaching her own child.

In this prime material plane, especially on the continent of Knoil, except in very rare periods, it takes a great deal of effort for a god to summon an avatar. The more powerful the avatar, the greater the cost, and this cost does not come from the summoned god, but from the summoner.

Not only gods, but also demon kings or demon lords.

Maginus, on the other hand, is a true "native deity" with special privileges. After all, she is a native human and did not abandon her divine kingdom in other planes, but instead attached herself to the material plane.

The Earth Goddess is the same, mainly because of the special nature of the continent of Kenoyel. It is the goddess's true form in this prime material universe, and even alien gods can mobilize a large amount of energy.

The war of the saints has begun, and all the gods are forced to use their "true forms" to fight. However, these true forms are actually just the authority of the foreign gods in this prime material plane, together with the will of the gods.

Once this "original body" is destroyed, as alien gods, they will no longer be able to influence the material plane where Maginus resides. All divinity and divine status will completely disintegrate, awaiting the emergence of new gods capable of controlling them.

This "Battle of the Saints" is essentially a war to integrate all the gods into the local community. It is a spontaneous act of this universe. When the battle ends, the gods will be fully recognized, and they will give back more faith to their true selves. At the same time, their divine duties will be more in line with their own.

"Originally, everything should have fallen into place naturally, but the problem lies with a group of evil gods."

Mother Earth sighed softly and revealed to Maginos another essential reason for the war:

"Those evil gods have joined forces with other gods who are not in this prime material universe, and they want to completely muddy the waters and get those gods involved in the battle."

"Only God can kill God, and the victor takes everything he can adapt to: divinity, divine office, and even the corresponding energy within him."

The Earth Mother's explanation made Maginus's heart pound, her pupils constrict, and she seemed to see something in her mind.

So this is the origin of the war of destruction and the war of the fallen saints. Gods from other worlds separated the divinity and divine office given to them by the subconscious of this prime material plane, and transformed into a part of this world, belonging to the "body" of this world, waiting for the integration of planes.

However, if a deity with the same characteristics enters the fray, a battle will inevitably break out between the two sides until a victor emerges.

Furthermore, due to differences in factions and beliefs, it's not just a competition for power; even gods who harbor hatred towards each other will engage in a full-blown war.

The Holy War is actually somewhat similar to a version update, where alien gods, as data, want to be fully integrated into the game and become the underlying data.

The vast majority of gods on the continent of Noir are outsiders. The "Old Outer Gods" simply appeared earlier than expected. If there is no other external data, they will definitely be able to stay and become local data after the version update.

However, some gods wanted to cause trouble, so they brought over another batch of data, all of which were "new Outer Gods" who had never entered this plane. The Ks also wanted to compete for this opportunity.

Only after the time of the Fallen War ended, the Prime Material Plane completed its update, redundant data was cleared, and the remaining gods were completely integrated into this world.

For this reason, the gods in this plane do not possess the power to continuously destroy the interior of the universe and then reshape it. Their strength is related to both their true form outside this prime material plane and the power of faith on the continent of Kenoyel.

The beliefs of other planets could be used, but the problem is that the continent of Noir is the central region of this prime material plane.

Maginos actually had a significant advantage, as she was a native deity, naturally favored by the world. This meant that she had a much better chance of winning against the gods of slaughter and fear.

"You can..."

"I'm sorry, my child, I can't give you a promise. I can only say that I will do my best."

A hint of sadness flashed in Mother Earth's eyes: "Even if the gods don't harm my body, many people will still die in the aftermath. I have to find a way to protect them, after all, not all forces possess the Enchanted Lock."

Chapter 700 Invitation to the Legend

"I'm happy to have your approval; I don't need any promises."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Maginus did not plead with Mother Earth too much or pester K for help. Mortals are still infants, needing K's care and meticulous protection. Maginus, as a quasi-god or even a demigod, was no longer a child who needed a mother's protection.

She has to fight for everything herself; she can only face the killing and fear alone.

Marginus bowed politely to the goddess of the earth and left the flower shop. Looking back thoughtfully, she watered and fertilized the plants like a real woman, without any trace of divinity.

Back at the palace, Magnis changed into her usual queenly attire, sat in her study, and rang the bell. Mira quickly opened the door: "Your Majesty, you're back!"

"How is the coalition issue being handled? Give me all the intelligence."

"Okay, I'll go get it right away."

After receiving a large amount of intelligence from Mira, Maginus quickly sifted through the useful information. The Nesery army was advancing rapidly. After Maginus demonstrated the power to destroy the entire Bloodstained Society, everyone in the allied forces, from the king to the lowest-ranking soldiers, began to feel fear.

Especially after Maginus issued the order that nobles should also die, her army swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, and dealt a crushing blow to the allied forces that had no will to fight.

Three days ago, the coalition forces collapsed on their own, the national army disintegrated and scattered, and some soldiers surrendered directly to Nesery, having heard rumors that "Nesery treats them like human beings and provides them with enough to eat and wear."

Spring had arrived, but the weather was still bitterly cold. During their march, the Nesserian army discovered many deserters who had frozen to death, as well as stiff soldiers abandoned by the allied forces.

After careful consideration, the generals used megaphones to recruit surrendered soldiers with their sonic magic. The effect was quite good; most of the soldiers who didn't want to die gathered around.

Military expenses increased slightly, but the army's strength was enhanced. With a little training, these surrendered soldiers were essentially the same as ordinary soldiers, since most of them were forcibly conscripted by various kingdoms.

Each army chose the most attackable kingdom, invaded its territory, and after breaching the city walls, did not harm the inhabitants. Instead, they rushed into the castle, killed the lord, took the spoils, and left.

Whether a country has already been attacked or has not yet been attacked, voices of surrender are rising within it, fearing that they will be the next to be killed.

The Nesserian army is incredibly rude; they're practically bandits, just like those barbarians from the North!

Some kings are still able to remain calm and are willing to use Maginus to kill the nobles they cannot control, so they can hold out for a little longer. But today, some duchies with noble power stronger than the kings have already submitted their surrender documents.

The ambassador from Nesserei will arrive shortly to discuss matters, including land and compensation issues, which will be resolved one by one.

It can continue to expand.

With the affirmation of Mother Earth, Maginus intended to continue expanding his power, increasing his army and territory, and making his authority even stronger.

Don't forget that besides death, authority is also Maginus's most important divine element; the larger the territory she controls, the stronger she becomes.

Military campaigns increase the power of death, but she usually doesn't like to do so; now, however, she doesn't need to worry about that anymore.

She needs to become stronger, stronger. When her original form returns, she needs to undergo a complete transformation, become a demigod, and possess a basic divine status.
