Tick-tock——
Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock...
Along with the slight sound of liquid dripping on the ground, everyone could clearly see a series of dark red, even somewhat black blood flowing out from the wound in Cyric's abdomen where the hot sword penetrated him.
Without a doubt!
That's divine blood!
Blood containing the most essential power of divinity and gods!
As a member of the powerful gods, the blood of the Prince of Lies, like Lathander, the Lord of the Morning, possesses power unimaginable by mortals.
You must know that the latter was only the next four drops of blood shed after being injured by the silver fire, and they could be called artifacts.
Its abilities include that as long as anyone can please the Lord of the Dawn, they can obtain effects similar to "theosophy" through these drops of blood, and directly ask questions to get some "yes" or "no" answers from Lathander.p>
If you are a believer, priest or paladin, you can also use divine blood to perform "Cure Fatal Injury" four times a day, "Resurrection of the Dead" once, and "Regeneration" to regenerate limbs or internal organs once every two days.
A "restoration technique".
In addition, it also has the ability to detect and identify lies, and at the same time refuses to be held by non-believers by raising its own temperature.
Just four drops of divine blood possess such power, so it becomes even more powerful when the number is large.
The most typical example is that the blood shed by the elven god Corellon and the orc god Gruumsh in a certain battle came together to give birth to the ancient evil object - ityak-ortheel.
, also known as the Elf Devourer.
Like the Chaos Demon Dog Kozif, this thing is also a god-like monster that cannot be killed by normal methods.
It's just that it takes a longer time to resurrect in the Abyss, requiring a full ten years, instead of just a few days like the former.
At present, the beast god Mara controls this ancient evil to a certain extent, and will summon it to the gathering place of elves in Faerûn every once in a while to carry out killing and destruction.

It can be seen that the things contained in divine blood are not much worse than divine power, and it even has the ability to create divine-like beings, ancient evil objects and even demigods out of thin air.
At this moment, Cyric, who had been pierced through the abdomen by Zariel, flowed out divine blood containing evil and crazy power. The amount of divine blood that had gathered on the ground formed a large puddle, and began to penetrate deep into the depths of the desolate land and the entire noisy tunnel plane.
Producing some kind of weird resonance.
In just a few seconds, everything within a radius of several kilometers has already shown obvious changes besides being eroded by the divine blood.
Whether there were other petitioner legions or the elemental creatures that followed the Wind Elemental Prince across planes, they all instinctively sensed the danger and wanted to stay away at extremely fast speeds.
Unfortunately, those unlucky ones who didn't react quickly enough or were too close were not so lucky.
They were all pulled into the bottomless underground cracks by an inexplicable force.
Because the terrain of the Noisy Tunnel Plane is extremely complex and changeable, it is all composed of giant tunnels that are spiraling and twisting around each other in solid rock.
Moreover, every tunnel will be filled with strong winds whistling by, making it difficult for ordinary people to even stand firm.
So if you don't have strong flying ability, it's basically a daydream if you want to move quickly here.
However, Zariel, who was completely immersed in the pleasure of fighting and killing, did not notice this. Instead, he licked the divine blood on his palms and fingers, grinning with a creepy smile.
"Hahahaha!
So this is the taste of divine blood?
It’s really surprisingly good.
In this blood, I tasted the taste of fear.
Dear King of Lies, tell me are you afraid of impending failure?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Get out of here!"
Being injured by a god-like lord of the hell plane obviously made Cyric, who calls himself "the only true god in the kingdom", fall into a rage, and a huge vortex of energy suddenly burst out from his body.
Its astonishing destructive power, even Zariel didn't dare to attack it easily, instantly flew thousands of meters away with the help of the high maneuvering speed provided by the flickering oil jet engine.
You don't need to ask to know that this is a kind of "divine power storm" with extraordinary divine power.
The essence of this energy vortex is the power given by the god's own camp, so it can cause unimaginable huge amounts of damage to the opposite camp.
Only those gods with high enough influence and level can possibly release it.
Obviously, Cyric's camp is evil and chaotic, so he definitely poses a terrible threat to the devils of the lawful evil camp.
If an ordinary devil is caught in the storm, even the most advanced Hell Fiend will be turned into dregs or powder in an instant.
The only ones who can fight against it to a certain extent are the Dukes of Hell and the plane lords who possess quasi-divine powers.
This is why Zuo Si, after careful consideration, agreed to Asmodeus joining Hell and becoming a great devil.
In front of a creature like God, if there is no divine power to confront it, it would be too easy to suffer a big loss in a head-on battle.
But once you have divine-like power, the advantages of gods are no longer so obvious.
At least after becoming a level lord in hell, you can obtain the right to distribute the "sacred energy" squeezed from the soul in your own ruling level.
And this "sacred energy" can resist divine power to a certain extent.
Therefore, as long as any level lord in hell has enough energy reserves, it is much more powerful than all the secondary demon lords in the abyss, as well as most of the entire level lords who are not so famous.
Even the otherworldly divine servants who are lower than the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant will often go to the abyss with missions to kill a certain demon lord to increase their performance.
Of course, there are exceptions like the Three Giants of the Abyss, some of the more famous ones who have almost monopolized the beliefs of their own race, most likely the dual identities of demon lord and god like the Spider Goddess Rose.
After releasing the divine storm to force Zariel back, Cyric quickly stopped the bleeding wound on his abdomen and released a huge black fog from his body, which gradually condensed into a human form.
I saw his eyes shining with a frightening red light, and his mouth was muttering like a lunatic.
"Unforgivable...
Unforgivable!
How dare you, a lowly bastard, attack and harm the great and only true God!
I'm going to tear your body apart!
Eat your flesh and blood!
Let your soul be completely annihilated after enduring endless pain!
I am the High King Cyric!
The source of all disputes and conspiracies in the world!
Lord of lies and deception!
No mortal or god can go against my will!
The only thing you should do is obey!"
"Pfft hahahaha! It seems that father is right, you are really ill."
Zariel stood in the sky and laughed mockingly.
Not only her, but the gods watching the battle from behind quickly expressed their contempt and disdain for this unreasonable speech.
Although the gods have long known that Cyric's madness is due to him reading the "Cyric Sutra" compiled by himself using the lie priesthood, his current consciousness is not under the control of reason.
But the problem is, so many years have passed since the birth of the entire crystal wall, and even the gods have changed several times, but this is the first time in the world that a god has been brainwashed by an artifact he created.
This alone can be called "the shame of the divine world".
Not to mention Cyric's series of dazzling and jaw-dropping moves since he became a god from a mortal.
Among them, the parts in the last few chapters of the "Cyric Sutra" that slander the god of gods, Io, have made everyone see the highest state of seeking death.
Some gods with darker thoughts, such as Shar, have begun to suspect that Cranvor became the god of death and the god of tyranny Bane was resurrected. Maybe it was all the means of His Majesty Io.
After all, in this crystal wall system, if you want to become a god, you must obtain his consent.
Otherwise, whether it is to become a god from a mortal, or a god from another world wants to enter, or a dead god is resurrected, it will be impossible to succeed.
Although this god does not express his position clearly every time, he usually just silently acquiesces.
It can tear apart the priesthood and divine power that originally belonged to the three gods of death. Its essence is to weaken Cyric's power that originally stood at the apex of powerful divine power.
"Shut up! How can a dirty devil like you evaluate the great Cyric!"
Accompanied by a piercing scream, Cyric instantly used his divine power to teleport directly from where he was to Zariel's side, waving the artifact in his hand and stabbing him hard.
Making the same move with him was the huge shadow behind him.
"You know? You look like those losers who have been poked in the painful spot."
Zariel sneered and sarcastically said, then frantically drew energy from the hell plane to strengthen himself, and faced him without any fear.
The next second...
To be continued...
