Strange, it feels like I'm using much more power today than in my usual training.
Haru and Wright unconsciously had the same thought, but did not delve into it. They turned around and rushed towards the location of the two girls and the city lord. The mid-level assassins were dealt with, but the problem was that there were still six low-level assassins rushing towards the three of them. If they could not stop them, everything would be in vain.
Wall of Light.
Sonic boom.
With only one divine spell to cast, Berea and Simi exchanged glances. One of them raised her hand and slammed it on the ground, raising a wall that shone with dazzling light, attempting to blind and stun any assassin who tried to pass through it.
The other was to pick up a hard-headed hammer and tap the air lightly, creating a loud bang that spread outwards from her, attempting to intimidate the enemy.
The loud noise affected the two assassins. The remaining assassins, who were originally heading for the kill, exchanged a glance and burst into even greater speed. Ignoring the priest, they rushed towards the wounded city lord like madmen, some even dropping their weapons.
"Hmph, looking for death!"
The city lord, filled with hostility, snorted coldly. He could handle the four assassins. He raised his sword and launched an attack. His movements were as swift as lightning. He was sure he could kill one of the assassins. Then, he could easily repel the other three by slightly withdrawing his sword.
However, seeing the falling blade, the assassin, or rather, the death knight, made an unexpected move without fear of death, reaching out with his palm and arm bones to block the sword, and diagonally turning his body to fiercely grab the blade with his bones.
With the city lord's eyes wide with rage, one assassin caught his outstretched left fist, while the other two, one in front and one behind, had the closest one remove his dimensional bag and throw it to him. The latter immediately turned and fled.
"Stop him quickly!"
The enraged city lord ordered Light and Haru to stop him. When the two tried to stop him, the assassin threw the dimensional bag high into the light. A hand caught the bag before it was about to sink into the darkness. The injured high-ranking assassin, who had been following closely, successfully retrieved the bag at that moment.
"No!"
The assassin took the opportunity to escape, ignoring the city lord's howling behind him like a defeated dog, and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing that the four-person team was safe, Maginus finally got up and disappeared from the inn, following the high-level assassin from thousands of meters away, watching him hand over the dimensional bag to three guys who were most likely former Fear Gods.
They were the same ones who stole the crystal from the heart of the legendary dragon. It's fair to say that the Lord of Dragonflame City is in a bad situation, being targeted repeatedly and finding it difficult to protect his treasure.
The three who had obtained the items fled the city in the chaos of the night, with Maginus leisurely pursuing them, intending to see who they would eventually go to.
Hmm, if only we could contact the Fear God Child who controls them, no, I should say that they would definitely hand over something this important themselves.
Thinking of this, Maginos felt better and followed silently, humming a song.
Chapter 746 Multiple Transfers
This continued for more than ten days. The three of them crossed the national border to another country, rested briefly, and then had the spellcaster activate a teleportation spell to move to another country. They switched countries many times, as if they were afraid of being caught up by something.
Maginus followed behind them patiently, watching them struggle until they finally stopped in the capital of a kingdom. After a short rest to alleviate the nausea and dizziness caused by the multiple teleportations in a short period of time, they resolutely headed towards the largest mage tower.
"Fear... Ha, I've found it after all."
Maginus chuckled, feeling the divine pull. It was just a coincidence; although Dragonflame City didn't have a Child of Fear at the beginning, she just happened to find one.
Now that she had found the real culprit, she naturally had no need to hide any longer. Before the three weary travelers could even enter the mage tower, she ambushed them under the cover of night.
"who!?"
The sudden appearance of the black-robed man startled them, followed by humiliation. When had they, as the children of the god of fear, ever been afraid of others? Just as they were about to get angry, their expressions changed again, and fear surfaced on their faces.
"Don't be afraid, being afraid won't help. You might as well accept the last leg of your life's journey."
Maginus offered a casual word of comfort, but the mocking smile on his face betrayed him. Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them immediately knelt down and begged Maginus for forgiveness.
"Wait, great goddess of death, we are still useful to you, please spare us!"
They were used to being subservient, but Magnius had no intention of letting them go. Who knew if the god of fear would reinfuse their divinity into them to achieve his goal of resurrection?
Of course, she also knew that she couldn't kill all the Fear Gods; she could only kill as many as she could.
With a flick of her finger, the three instantly died. Maginus hooked her fingertip and took their dimensional bags in her hand. She calmly opened them, took out three gems from them, and threw them into the demiplane. As for the other items, they were not very good. After briefly noting down her haul, she simply tossed the dimensional bags into the pile of junk.
There's only one last thing left.
Turning her gaze to the mage tower, Maginus swung her hand to grasp the Blood Gathering Technique and slowly walked towards the tower's gate, like the Grim Reaper in the bard's tales, coming to claim life.
In the continent of Konoil, the power of the Grim Reaper is not actually as depicted in the stories. In the stories, the Grim Reaper gathers all the divine offices related to death, and even handles the collection of souls himself.
The truth is that the world is divided into many parts. The Sleepers control the afterlife, while Maginus controls the journey to death. Harvesting souls and arranging deaths should actually be her job.
Upon reaching the gate, the two golems suddenly lit up. Just as they were about to speak, Maginus swung his Blood Gathering and shredded them. He then leisurely walked to the castle gate, raised his leg, and kicked the gate open with brute force and energy, creating a loud bang!
The loud noise woke many people, including the sleeping master of the mage tower.
"Damn it, who is it!"
With a roar of fear and morning grumpiness, the divine child waved his hand and turned on the surveillance video at the entrance of the mage tower, only to see a figure with scarlet hair walk into the tower.
That damned guy dared to break into the mage tower! He really has no idea how powerful he is. He'll definitely get what's coming to him...
Wait, scarlet hair?
The somewhat dazed and fearful god looked up again. The woman who had come in earlier had actually retreated to the front of the monitor, looked up at him with a dangerous smile, and the fear from the bottom of his heart made him tremble all over, instantly sobering him up.
He scrambled to his feet and activated the mage tower's defenses, letting out a scream like a groundhog: "Aaaaaah!"
The fearsome god, powerful and mysterious in the eyes of others, becomes vulnerable and only thinks about how to survive from Maginos, and his previous plans are activated one by one.
Countless spells rained down on Maginus, who then activated a portal to try and teleport away. However, Maginus had already set up a next-dimensional anchor, making it impossible for him to leave.
He had already anticipated a similar situation. He raised his hand, lightly patted the ring to put on the equipment, opened the window, and attempted to escape at three times the speed of sound. This was the most crucial step; he just needed to create a little distance.
To his surprise, the plan fell apart. With a sharp pain in his calf, he was immobilized in place after taking off and could not move no matter how hard he tried to rush forward.
Suppressing his fear, he turned to look back, and Maginos used his blood-binding technique to pin his calf down.
"Yo."
Maginus even greeted the Child of Fear, but before he could speak, he was dragged back to the mage tower. A beautiful hand pressed against his head, and before he could even speak, the hand began to tighten.
All the spells attached to her body were activated, but they had no effect on Maginos. As for the spells to escape, they were completely sealed off by the dimensional anchor.
"No way to heaven, no way to hell" describes the current state of the Child of Fear. He has only one ending: to be completely crushed by fear, without any ability to resist.
As the head was crushed, the divinity of fear surged forth, but Maginus intercepted and absorbed it all into his body. His divine essence and divine power circulated and writhed over this divinity of fear, making it his own.
After leaping out of the mage tower and breaking the spatial seal, Maginus quietly departed. A group of powerful figures in the city arrived late, looking at the destroyed mage tower and the vanished tower owner. They exchanged glances, sparking a new round of competition for the legacy.
Instead of heading immediately to the dwarven temple, Maginus took out three crystals. She examined the mineral made of dragons for a moment and then threw it back, keeping only the colorful crystal.
Sensing the divinity within, Maginus pressed it close to his brow, attempting to absorb the divinity. The divinity, solidified into crystal, was gradually pried open, and the Domain of Authority expended considerable effort.
In fact, the scope of the divine authority is far too broad. With it and the Kingdom of Nesser, Maginus was able to rapidly absorb many general divine attributes into his body.
The divinity within the crystal is filled with magical elements and related components, much like the divinity left behind by a goddess of magic. The problem is that this divinity is ownerless, unlike any remnant.
Without much consideration, after carefully confirming that the body was unclaimed, Maginus began to absorb the relatively small amount of divinity within, allowing herself to possess a certain amount of magic and elemental divinity.
These two types of divinity are also extremely powerful and versatile. She deliberately guided the divinity in the direction of anti-magic and anti-elemental, so that she could counterbalance certain spellcasters in the future.
Compared to spellcasting, Maginos herself prefers melee combat.
Chapter 747 Connections Come in Use
Having absorbed the divinity within it that had no master or will, Maginus turned and headed towards Emerald City.
Entering the deepest part of the Forging Temple, the scorching magma emitted a dazzling light. It seemed to be without a single impurity, and its temperature was comparable to the blue magma of Fuersen. She curiously reached in to feel it.
When the arm was taken out, the legendary incarnation, with its thick skin and flesh, was charred, which was indeed a very suitable temperature for smelting.
Dwarven blacksmiths are extremely rare in this region; aside from a few high-ranking ones who serve as apprentices, the rest are all legendary.
Indeed, the dwarven bishop summoned all five legendary blacksmiths from Emerald City to forge the artifact for Maginus, not at all worried that he would not have room to demonstrate his skills, since each blacksmith has his own unique techniques and special skills.
"Oh, so you must be the great goddess of death!"
A blacksmith saw Maginus about to reprimand her, but then remembered the bishop's instructions and immediately realized who was in front of him. He was startled and bowed his head in respect.
"Well, I'm here to add special metals for you. I think you'll be very interested. Where is the bishop?"
She looked around, and when she heard about the new metal, everyone looked over curiously. The closest spots were taken by the legendary blacksmiths, who couldn't wait to see what powerful metal a god had brought them.
"My Goddess, forget about him, let us take a look at the minerals!"
The blacksmith shouted excitedly, but Maginus insisted that all the blacksmiths who participated in the forging must be present, as everyone has the right to appreciate the mineral.
The remaining blacksmiths volunteered to go out and search, and soon found the dwarf bishop and brought him back. Every blacksmith was excited about the mineral that Maginus was about to bring out.
"Is everyone here?"
"Goddess, everyone's here, hurry up and bring it out."
She didn't keep them in suspense, extracting a crystal from the demiplane, composed of dragon life force and magic. A small piece of crystal ignited a surge of excitement among the dwarves, who eagerly stepped forward to examine the dragon blood crystal, exclaiming in astonishment.
Even the most knowledgeable among them had never seen such a material before. One blacksmith, however, recalled his family's encyclopedia, which seemed to contain some information about it. He recounted the contents and asked:
"Could it be dragon blood crystal, from a legendary ancient dragon? I remember that if there is dragon blood crystal, there is another even more precious metallic mineral."
The dwarf's deep-voiced eyes gleamed. Four people looked at Maginus, while another, more interested in gems, continued to examine the "living" crystal.
"That's right. Please step aside a bit, I'm about to take it out."
Reaching into the demiplane, Maginus dragged out Dragon Brain Gold. The raw metal, encased in magic crystals, excited all the blacksmiths. With her permission, they decisively took action, gently caressing the Gold as if it were their own beloved.
Some people were still listening to the sound of metal in a special way. Maginos didn't want to stay any longer, so she simply handed everything over to the dwarf and would only come back when the dwarf needed her to do something.
All we have to do is wait for the artifact embryo to be made. As for the enchanting after it's made, I guess she and Benia will have to do that.
Alternatively, they could seek out a goddess of magic or an elven deity, one who controls the magic network and the other who controls elven magic; they would surely be able to create incredibly powerful weapons.
A full year has passed since Maginus seized the special metal. The domestic situation is excellent, and most countries have automatically recognized Nesery's status as their "suzerain state," becoming its vassal states.
A small number of those who resisted were beaten up and forced to automatically acknowledge Nether's status. They were very unwilling to be subordinate to others and even lost a lot of money.
As for actually expanding the territory, Maginus hadn't considered it. If the land of Nesery were really expanded, it would be difficult for her and her guards to defend it. The current situation was just right.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! In any case, Netherre can now be said to have completely ruled over the entire border region of the continent, a feat that no one has ever accomplished before!"
A sycophantic official congratulated Her Majesty the Queen. The avatar on the throne seemed dazed, taking a long time to react before nodding. The others looked on with some confusion, and Mira stepped forward to explain:
"The Goddess has reached a crucial moment, and most of her consciousness is focused on becoming stronger. Her avatar here has only received a small amount of attention. Please don't mind, everyone. Just continue reporting. The affairs will be handled by me and Her Majesty the Queen."
The head maid symbolizes Maginus, and as time goes by, she deliberately reveals part of the truth about the time after she was transferred away, so that all the officials and nobles will realize once again that Mira is the one who can make decisions.
The officials below exchanged glances, and one by one they stepped forward to report. The head maid recorded everything, her face expressionless.
After the meeting ended, she took paper and pen to Lenia's study. The beautiful Queen was scratching her beautiful purple hair, clearly driven mad by the documents and intelligence. When she saw Mira, she was like seeing a savior and quickly grabbed her to help.
Right above them, Magnius sat atop the palace, gazing up at the sky with lifeless eyes. Her consciousness drifted across the entire material plane, her whole being enveloped in crimson and gold lines, her inner emotions growing ever calmer.
The transformation from killing to death is not very noticeable in terms of color, and the fierce aura it exudes disappears, becoming somewhat calm.
The divine authority reversed the purplish-black color within Maginus, which represented tyranny, fear, and strife, and it has now been completely removed, replaced by a golden sheen. The blackness in Maginus's eyes has also vanished completely.
Instead of becoming stronger, her aura became more restrained, much like death itself, which is unremarkable because it is something everyone has to go through. Only those who are on the verge of death can see her power.
Now, she generally doesn't need to use her divine aura to intimidate people anymore. Drifting within her domain, Maginus witnesses the joys and sorrows experienced by the deceased in their final moments. She now has a greater understanding of death, but also a greater indifference towards it.
Fewer and fewer people are able to receive Maginus's help. Every time Maginus "saves" someone and changes their fate, she has to think carefully. She hopes that the world can be more stable and better, so she only saves kind people.
In the realm of organization, she is finally about to completely master the field and become a false god.
Chapter 748 False God
The process of becoming a false god is uneventful. At least on the surface, no obvious anomalies occur in the world. People are still suffering from disasters, and the weak are completely unaware that someone is taking a further step on the path to godhood.
But for those incarnations of the gods, this is not the case at all.
Maginus's ritual was projected into the domain dNl?ing吾八泣翼陕. The consciousness, which was bound by the threads, finally broke all the threads. The threads, which symbolized the connection between the domains, turned into points of light and merged into the consciousness. At the domain level, death and a part of authority were completely marked with Maginus's mark.
This also means that if anyone else wants to encroach on the territory she controls in the future, they will either need her permission or defeat her first in order to gain control of the territory.
The energy fluctuations, perceptible only to the gods, spread outwards, reaching the old man in a library in Doflamingo, the boy in the Land of the Dead, the woman in Newbud City, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom…
The various figures felt her rise on the path to godhood once again. Those gods who had been stuck at the demigod or quasi-god level for a long time for various reasons, or those who were in demi-planes or could not move freely, were somewhat jealous, while also marveling at Maginus's talent.
As for false gods, they are currently in the most awkward position. They possess their own divine kingdoms, but due to their limited strength, false gods who act alone dare not even release their avatars, for fear of being captured.
Maginus, who had become a false god by controlling the domain, suddenly sensed for a moment that more and more divine incarnations were walking on the ground, paving the way for him to face the war of the saints.
"This is a false god. His divine status has indeed gone from zero to 0.1."
Exiting the realm, Maginos entered her own mental dream, her spinning divine essence transforming beyond its original limitations, officially beginning her growth.
"The most important thing next is the divine office, the authority of the deceased Netheri, and these three will be the main divine offices. The first one is the easiest to grasp, and I need to get the people to join in praising me."
Tapping lightly on the table, Maginus returned to his study and muttered to himself, planning to use the newspapers to spread the news of himself as the guardian deity of Nesery, thereby obtaining special faith power to solidify his divine position in Nesery.
According to the Earth Goddess and the Sleeper, the formation of divine authority takes a long time. The smaller the symbolic scope, the easier it is to obtain the corresponding divine authority. She plans to become a true god as quickly as possible. If she can become a true god in less than three years, her life will definitely be more secure.
Even if the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear are resurrected, those two guys are definitely not even true gods. At that time, you can try to kill them yourself. (Group chat p93713)
