"Please tell us, anything we can give."
An official stepped forward, expressing a strong desire to eliminate the malicious magic. She turned her gaze to the official, her expression becoming serious.
"Unite with other countries to build a statue for me. You need to make most of your subjects who do not yet have faith kneel down before me and offer their faith before I leave. After I leave, you can dismantle the statue and kill those who truly believe in me."
This request caught everyone off guard. Before the official could speak, Maginus gestured for him to be quiet, then stood up and stretched.
“I know this is difficult for your country, and I will do you a favor, or rather, take action for myself.”
With arms outstretched, Maginus unleashed a powerful life force, and a blood-red humanoid figure, whose entire body could be seen from afar and up close, appeared in the air, growing larger and larger.
A gigantic, scarlet eye opened from the clouds, simultaneously covering the capitals of every nation in the world, and a voice emanated from above:
"I am the Goddess of Death. If you wish to completely eliminate the pollution in your magic, you must reach an agreement with the continent of Duranda and the Kingdom of the Sun as soon as possible, build a statue for me, and offer your faith. You may dismantle it yourselves after I leave!"
The grand sound instantly reverberated throughout the entire planet, yet Maginus's power appeared to have not diminished at all; her divine nature surged, displaying immense might.
"Now it's up to you. Someone should contact you soon. Once I've gathered enough faith, I'll take action to deal with the culprit who caused all this."
She waved to the stunned and terrified crowd, then turned and went back into the bedroom. After she left, some people subconsciously swallowed and focused their gazes on the bishop.
“Bishop Seven, is she truly a legend, or is she just as she claims…”
“That’s right,” Seven said, no longer pretending when he saw Maginus displaying her power. “She is a deity from another world, temporarily residing here.”
"I hope that the power of faith I have harvested this time will help me refine divinity more quickly and acquire more divine power."
Sitting upright on the bed, Maginos's fingertips were wreathed in divine power, which continuously eroded the curse, from magic to soul energy.
With her divinity sufficient, she will now rely on the immense faith of this planet to shape the prototype of her divine nature and complete the establishment of the number 0.
Quasi-gods are forming the number 0, demigods are 0, false gods are 0.00... and so on, between 1 and 1. She hadn't forgotten any of this.
Divinity, divinity, and divine office—it's strange that divine office is sometimes completed before divinity. That's how the path to godhood is; it's full of uncertainty, and it's not uncommon for people to become gods overnight.
half year later.
The concentration in the air was slowly increasing, and the original palace was no longer habitable. The royal family members had temporarily moved to a huge estate, where nobles and officials were also holding meetings.
For ordinary residents, steam still billows from locomotives and black smoke still rises from factories; their lives remain unchanged, and the magic's influence on them is still weak for the time being.
Who knows what will happen in the future? The malevolent magic in the air is getting stronger. In the future, when someone is filled with negative emotions, they may attract magic and turn him into a monster.
The only recent news item is that an enormous statue has been erected in the square, depicting a girl in a black robe with her hand raised, blood flowing from her cracked palm, though the blood has been replaced by water.
It wasn't just Sunny City; every city with a large population erected identical statues, and soldiers were even stationed to guard them.
Meanwhile, various countries have also introduced special policies, whereby everyone can receive a small sum of money by kneeling and praying before the goddess of the dead for a few minutes each day, which is better than nothing.
The pastors of various churches also specifically mentioned that as long as one does not develop a fanatical belief in the goddess of death, the gods will not have any objections, since the statues will eventually be toppled anyway.
With that meager sum of money, the common people began to kneel and worship before the idol frequently, taking the money and leaving after a few minutes. A large amount of faith power began to converge on the idol, then twisted into a pipe, drawing the power towards Sun City.
Inside the Church of the Radiant Sun, Maginus frantically absorbed the power of faith, compressing and reforging it into divine power, while not forgetting to cleanse the remnants of divinity.
The faith power of nearly half the population of the entire planet surged into his body. Although they were all general believers and their soul strength was weaker than that of the continent of Knoil, there were simply too many of them, and the prayer did not bring any wishes with him.
This allowed Maginus to absorb the power of faith smoothly, without needing to remove the emotions and desires within it.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. A mighty force of faith flows into her body. Maginus opens her eyes, looks down at the ground, and her gaze pierces through the earth, shooting towards the culprit that caused the magic to be corrupted.
"Ancient evil artifact."
Looking at the sleeping monster, Maginos revealed its origin.
Chapter 704 The Ancient Evil Creature, the Formless Blood Lord
Ancient evil creatures are a general term that refers to extremely evil things that existed in very ancient times, such as when the universe was just born, before the universe was born, or when a planet was just born. Some of these evil monsters have even become gods.
They are similar to divine abominations, possessing many of the characteristics of divine abominations, such as immunity to shape change, immunity to attribute weakening, and immunity to specific energy damage.
However, unlike divine evils, ancient evils are not descendants of gods, but may be gods themselves or the corpses of gods.
Although they can be weakened and fall into eternal slumber, they are actually immortal. Yes, since immortality is involved while "alive," it is essentially related to divinity.
As for what happens after death, the core of the soul is actually immortal.
In short, ancient evil beings are similar to divine abominations, belonging to beings hated by gods and ghosts. Their strength varies greatly, with some being able to be dealt with by higher-level beings, while others are said to be able to destroy the universe.
It's just hearsay; they might actually possess divinity, but the ancient evil beings on this planet certainly aren't that powerful.
What Maginus saw through the bloody hunt was a mass of moving flesh and blood, without a complete or fixed shape. The flesh and blood constantly wriggled, and the bones extending from the mass would be covered by the flesh and blood, forming various kinds of limbs.
Insect limbs, human hands, animal legs... claws, human mouths, animal mouths...
All sorts of limbs burst out, and then the writhing flesh would devour them again, turning them into a lump of flesh that would be reshaped.
Searching through relevant materials, Maginus found something similar within the soul of a legendary spellcaster. Her eyes gleamed with interest, and she uttered the name of the ancient evil artifact using her psychic powers:
"The Invisible Blood Lord".
Boom! (1 Underworld III) Surugi Silk Spirit?
Sensing that Maginus was chanting his name, the still-dormant flesh and blood emitted an extremely strong and malicious energy, which rushed toward Maginus following the name, but was easily neutralized.
As a near-demigod, she was stronger than this monster who had been sealed away for countless years, both in terms of rank and power. It was indeed immortal, but the problem was that its strength and energy would be gradually stripped away by time, leaving only the immortal part of its body and power.
Having confirmed its power after the attack, Maginus raised her hand and stroked her chin. If Maginus hadn't intervened and no one else had found the relevant information to seal it away, the planet's magic would have been completely corrupted in about fifty years.
The energy utilization systems of all spellcasters and non-spellcasters will be altered as a result. The only ones who will be spared are the pastors of various churches, who will likely become completely superior beings by then.
About two hundred years later, this monster that absorbs magic will be fully revived, bringing annihilation to the entire world and wandering the universe after destroying planets.
"Does this planet not have an Earth Mother Goddess, or is it actually considered an Earth Mother Goddess?"
Leaving her bedroom, Maginus stood before the statue of the Endless Light late at night and asked a question. She reached out and released pure faith into the statue, which then emitted light to provide her with information.
The ancient evil creature originally landed on this planet with a meteorite. At that time, the magical tide had not yet receded, and many powerful beings were able to defeat the ancient evil creature. However, it burrowed into the Earth's crust and passed through the mantle to enter the core immediately after landing, causing the current situation.
This planet truly lacks consciousness, which is precisely why ancient evil beings were able to easily penetrate into the vicinity of the Earth's core.
The conversation also made Maginus realize that the Light of No End knows everything, but it is difficult for K to explain to priests and believers. With the current concentration of magic and the strength of faith, if the latter's perception is not strong enough, the god simply cannot explain it clearly in words.
When she first arrived, she was able to appear in dreams, or perhaps the Light of No End specifically used the brief spatial disturbance caused by her arrival to inform her followers of the whole picture.
"If I hadn't come, would they still be alive?"
Maginus asked casually, noting that the Light of No End didn't seem very busy and seemed to have the time to chat with her, the goddess of death.
Don't underestimate human beings; no matter what kind of predicament we face, there will always be someone who shines.
Under the influence of the ancient evil, the people of this planet are expected to develop a new system, growing with the help of the ancient evil while trying every means to eliminate it before it revives.
Moreover, there is a temple here, and under the guidance of the gods, things can indeed be brought back on track. Once the magic power is sufficient, sending an avatar or creating a divine child should be able to set things right.
Feeling the increasing power of faith, Maginus clenched his fist and decided to launch an attack on the ancient evil in a month.
Before this...
Back in her bedroom, she began researching the Invisible Blood Lord. This formless monster was said to have started as a tiny creature, but it would devour other living beings to grow, and there was no limit to its growth.
Anyway, that's what the book says. Maginos thinks it's just that the upper limit hasn't been reached yet. Even when she converts magic into life force through the Fountain of Life, there's a limit to how much she can put into her body. How could such a big lump of flesh not have an upper limit?
However, it could also be related to divinity.
As an ancient evil creature, it has little intelligence and only acts on instinct. Actions such as spitting out and altering magic, devouring other creatures, and attacking are all instinctive reactions. It only wants to become bigger and more numerous. It fled to the Earth's core because it was afraid of being beaten by professionals and chose to hide first.
Its initial attack method was simply to eat, but after eating other creatures, it could acquire the creatures' most commonly used attack methods. If a mage was used to using fireball, and the Invisible Blood Lord ate the mage, it could actually create the mage's hands and mouth to release fireballs.
Based on its current size and number of limbs, this thing has at least a thousand attack methods, and it's not impossible that it could have hundreds of thousands.
In terms of vitality and regeneration, it is on par with Maginos. Apart from its immortality, as something similar to a slime, it has no core and can only be completely eliminated.
Maginos need not worry. As the goddess of death, she is no pushover. When her life force drops to a certain level, she doesn't even need to take action; she can simply clench her fist from a distance and eliminate monsters with low life force.
If it dares to break into countless pieces, Maginus can instantly kill the pieces of flesh with a single, bloody hunt and merciless slaughter.
As for the divine elements it possesses, they are nothing more than vitality, evil, chaos, and slaughter. Vitality and slaughter are two elements that Maginus can relatively easily integrate.
Once they are quickly integrated into the body, they may even accelerate the refinement of divinity.
Chapter 705 Trampling
After spending a month absorbing faith, Maginus got up and opened the bedroom door. Sophia, who was chanting in the garden, sensed a powerful aura approaching. When she turned around and saw Maginus, her eyes widened and she slumped into a chair.
The power of faith had overflowed from her body, surrounding Maginus and transforming into a battle skirt. Her long hair, dyed with a scarlet light, trailed on the ground. The physical part only reached her waist; the rest was all a result of the manifestation of the power of faith.
Maginus's eyes were filled with indifference, and his entire deity seemed even more divine. He noticed Sophia was overwhelmed by the pressure, closing her eyes to minimize the strain he was exerting. He then turned to look at the struggling Bishop of the Sun:
"Have all the people near the palace been evacuated?"
"They have already evacuated, deceased lady."
With divine might as a mountain, the bishop bowed his head in response. Maginus was merely asking a question out of habit, his life senses already confirming that no one was nearby.
Changes appeared in the movement of her back and skin. Her flesh and bones transformed into a dragon, and she took flight, leaving the church. The life force and divinity within her surged, suppressing all disturbances and temporarily holding back the external divinity to prevent it from causing trouble during the battle.
In an instant, she arrived near the palace. Sensing the condition of the invisible Blood Lord, she flapped her wings and crashed into the ground. Just before touching the ground, she activated Earthwalking, piercing through the soil and heading straight for the ancient evil creature.
She burst through the earth's crust at supersonic speed, magic preventing her from contacting the soil. Soul energy, faith power, life force, and magic power gathered at her wrist, and a blade combining the four energies was sculpted. The scarlet rose greatsword, filled with killing intent, was dragged behind her.
Breaking the sound barrier, Maginus pierces through the soil, sometimes entering cavities. Creatures that block her path are drained of their life force and rendered lifeless before they even collide with her, unable to stop her advance.
Even at twice the speed of sound, it still took more than two hours to reach the vicinity of the Earth's core. Maginus could actually go even faster, but its current speed is sufficient.
Within the rocks and magma, the invisible Blood Lord was close at hand. Still dormant and recovering its power, it seemed to sense the impending danger. Its flesh and blood began to weaponize, and malicious eyes emerged, all staring at Maginus as it plummeted straight down.
Her life force began to fluctuate abnormally, and the flesh-and-blood monster attempted to manipulate it to create a distortion, while her soul was also being manipulated by magic.
However, the invisible Blood Lord had absolutely no effect on Maginus. Its actions were like trying to break a solid iron stake – an impossible task.
In short, the environment should be completely sealed off first.
With a slight thought, her soul energy spread out along with her life force, enveloping the invisible Blood Lord, which was similar in size to the God-like Fuelson, thus completely sealing it off and preventing it from releasing special magic, but still allowing it to absorb the scarce magic from the outside world.
The surrounding soil suddenly melted away, and it began to use its corrosive power to erode rocks and magma, creating an environment where it could fight. Although its eyes were open, it was still not awake and did not take Maginusta seriously.
It was for this reason that Maginus, which had sealed a large amount of energy within the blade, completely transformed into a bloody light, broke through the ancient evil's force field, ignored its deep tentacles, and crashed into it fiercely, the blade piercing deep into its body.
Boom Wife~e+r?Shaanxi Lin?-Flag Umbrella Dream!
The compressed energy was completely released, and the equally chaotic and malicious alien energy bloomed like roses within the formless Blood Lord's body, with not a single drop was wasted under Maginus's control.
Her body swelled, and the next second the mountain of flesh exploded. It was an attack like an arrow she had shot, powerful enough to destroy an entire city. The earth rumbled. If she hadn't used the crystal to separate the earth from the battlefield, a violent earthquake might have occurred.
The life force and magic power emanating from the monster were devoured and annihilated by Maginus's energy, colliding and disappearing completely. Nearly a third of its body was destroyed in one blow. Having been dormant for countless years, it was already weakened considerably, and its strength was further diminished by the sneak attack.
But because the attack caused such great damage, it sensed the danger to its life and finally woke up. The intense pain caused it to involuntarily form a mouth and let out a cry.
With its mouth aimed at Maginos, a barrage of intense sound waves rushed towards her. The sound waves and impact had no effect on her whatsoever. The ancient evil creature in front of her, having been sealed and dormant for many years, lacked the replenishment of its life force and appeared somewhat weak.
Hmm, weaker than Fuelson, should be able to finish it off in two or three more hits.
They could reshape a giant sword capable of unleashing chaotic energy, with fleshy tentacles wrapping around Maginus, or create sharp limbs to stab her, or hard objects to deliver blunt blows.
Pairs of extraordinary eyes opened, and various colored magical rays swept haphazardly, converging in front of Maginus as the pupils moved, the magical cluster attempting to inflict negative effects on her.
It did have some impact. Ancient evil creatures also possess divinity, which means that no matter how much they are weakened, they can still affect Maginus. This impact is that her life force and soul energy are consumed at a faster rate.
The effect is negligible; aside from the "immunity effect" brought by divinity, one's own vitality and soul energy can act as a means to resist negative effects.
Maginus is like someone with a special ability to resist negative effects with a certain amount of health. As long as she is alive and willing, she can resist external influences unless they exceed her health threshold.
The problem is that the negative effects of the spell exceed her life force, so the enemy doesn't need to use this spell on her; they can just kill her directly.
Continuing to charge forward, the impact of the energy beam slowed her down. Maginos simply stood still to withstand the various attacks, waiting for the greatsword to finish charging and before it could lose its magical structure and explode, before launching the greatsword away.
The skill in throwing the psychic blade lies not in technique, but in maintaining energy. The blade, radiating a blinding light, did not explode, but instead pierced into the pool of flesh and blood, where a devastating explosion occurred once again.
Space distorted, large clumps of flesh and blood disappeared, and the area around the wound exploded due to the energy dispersed by the psychic blades, causing blood to splatter in all directions and land on the walls formed by life force crystals, unable to leave.
The Blade of Faith was reforged once more, and the power of faith continued to transform into other energies. Maginus's aura remained unchanged, showing no signs of weakening.
As a powerful ancient evil creature, it was overcome with fear by the two explosions and turned to try to break through the crystal to escape.
Uh, powerful? Yes, very powerful.
Is it because my own body has become stronger?
Maginus came fully prepared, having absorbed a large amount of faith power, but it seems she underestimated her own and the ancient evil's strength.
Chapter 706 Irrational Greed
With the third sword strike, fully charged, the ancient evil creature's body, which had "hard-won" recovered to half its original size, was blasted apart again. Now, the fleshy chunk, only half the size of a town, was constantly moving and had already eroded the life crystal wall facing its body. It was just a little short of drilling a hole and getting out.
Maginus didn't even bother to fill the crystal walls. The power of faith merged into the blade, transforming into other energies. The second after the third sword strike, she unleashed the fourth sword, a blade of energy powerful enough to cleave mountains and seas, which struck the invisible Blood Lord.
The last body was destroyed, and blood and flesh were scattered everywhere. After a period of activity, they seemed to have completely lost their vitality and gradually became dry and dull.
