Chapter 526 The Prelude to the Battle of Northland(1/4)
Represents white mana, the true believer Oketa with the head of a cat;
Representing blue mana, the mental god Kefane with a bird's head;
Patu, the glory god with a dog's head, represents black mana;
Representing red mana, the fanatical god Hazorei with a jackal head;
Rhonas, the fearless god with a snake head, represents green mana.
The above five are the beast-headed gods who have appeared publicly in Amonkhet's time and space and are active in the mortal world.
In addition to them, there are three insect-headed gods hiding in the darkness. They will only appear when the moment of glory comes and complete their mission, which is to kill all the animal-headed gods.
This is the script that Nicol Bolas wrote after he invaded the world and transformed it to his will.
For a long time, Zuo Si felt that the reason why the old dragon was able to do this easily was because Amonkhet's gods were too weak and could not compete with the incarnations of certain philosophies, thoughts and ideas in the universe where Toril's planet was located.
Faith is on par with the true God.
After all, even the weakest demigod in the latter has the ability to "explode stars", which is roughly equivalent to the Titan in the pantheon of the Azeroth universe next door.
The gods of Amonkhet's time and space obviously do not have such power, they are just some special life forms supported by powerful mana and part of the power of faith.
But after witnessing the cat-headed god Oketa with his own eyes, Zuo Si found that he had made a mistake, that is, he did not know enough about the diversity of special creatures like gods.
Moreover, the beast-headed god was far from being as weak as he thought, and was actually quite dangerous.
Almost every god is directly connected to the mana core of the world. At the same time, they can also obtain abilities similar to extraordinary divine power through the faith of mortals that mortals cannot resist.
The simplest example is the divine venom created by the fearless god Rhonas, which can definitely pose a huge threat to the gods of Faerûn.
Therefore, the beast-headed god is not weak, but is slightly different in the form of existence and expression of divine power.
They do not pursue the destructive power of the gods in the universe where Toril lives, but integrate it into some kind of rules that they control.
But unfortunately, since these gods are bound to the entire Amonkhet mana core, when Nicol Bolas directly tampered with the mana core, they would inevitably fall, not even a trace of it.
There is no chance to resist.
After understanding this, Zuo Si felt more and more that his decision to never become a god was probably the wisest choice he had ever made in his life.
Because no matter what kind of god he is, even the Titan god who is known as the most unrestrained, his essence is still integrated with certain operating rules of the corresponding world and even the universe.
Although you can gain powerful power and immortal life, you still have to fulfill your obligations within the scope of your duties, and you are bound here and will never be able to escape.
On the contrary, only by firmly continuing along the path of a planeswalker can we gain freedom in the true sense.
In this way, with preliminary research on the beast-headed god of Amonkhet's time and space, and the artifact staff given to him by the old dragon, Zuo Si quickly transferred his soul and consciousness back to his clone in Faerun.
The moment he woke up and took the staff out of the box, a human woman with long black hair and smooth skin suddenly appeared in front of him.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is the incarnation of the third-generation magic goddess descended at midnight.
Fortunately, Zuo Si moved quickly enough and had all the card-formed clothes and equipment neatly dressed in an instant, avoiding the embarrassment of seeing each other naked. At the same time, he sighed slightly and complained: "Please, please check in advance next time you come.
Say hello or go to the main entrance? If you always make surprise attacks like this, I'm afraid I'll have some mental illness sooner or later."
"Ah! Sorry, I just suddenly felt that a powerful magical artifact entered Toril, so I couldn't help but want to rush over to see what it was."
Midnight couldn't help but pursed her lips and revealed a playful smile.
As the actual controller of the magic network and the goddess of magic who stands at the apex of all powerful divine powers, it is certainly impossible for her not to be unaware of the operation of her youngest chosen one to transfer souls and consciousness between different clones.
Moreover, with the god's keen perception, he could clearly see everything that should be seen and what should not be seen the moment he came.
It's just that Midnight has been here for a long time, so he doesn't care about this. Instead, he finds the other party's slightly annoyed reaction very interesting, and even a little cute.
"Forget it, just be more careful next time."
Zuo Si shook his head helplessly, and then handed over the inconspicuous staff.
Because he understands that being interested in everything related to magic is the innate nature of the goddess of magic, and it will inevitably be affected from the moment she obtains the priesthood.
It's as if the other party is clearly leaning toward good neutrality, but has to tolerate the existence of many evil forces such as the Dragon Worship Cult, the Red Robe Mage, and the "Doomsday Reptile" Dogothos, and even restrains voters from the good camp such as Yin Erminster.
Don’t take the initiative to cause trouble for the other party.
The reason is very simple.
It is the evil and cruel magic experiments conducted by these organizations or individuals that are beneficial to the overall concept of "magic".
So whenever Zuo Si brings back some new magical knowledge, technology and artifacts from other worlds, the goddess of magic and the god of knowledge will soon come to visit.
He has long been used to this.
And this kind of mutual communication can also help them understand and master these magical knowledge faster.
Midnight picked up the artifact once used by Karona, the Mother of Magic, with great interest, and felt the powerful power contained in it. After a full minute, she asked in an uncertain tone: "It used to belong to a certain magician."
God’s weapon?”
Zuo Si nodded without hesitation: "Yes.
It is a weapon used by a man-made god called the Mother of Magic in another time and space.
However, as the god was destroyed by its creator, most of the power of the staff itself has been lost.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But what’s interesting is that this artifact seems to have the ability to enhance the holder’s magical talents.
When I hold it, I feel all the energy in my body burning, boiling, and being purified repeatedly."
"This is not surprising.
Because the staff contains a power that I have never seen before.
It can not only draw energy from the magic network, but also draw all forms of primitive energy from the universe, and deeply process it according to the type of magic and talent that the holder is good at.
In this way, no matter who holds this artifact, they can maximize their own advantages.
If I guess correctly, the reason why you feel the energy in your body is burning, boiling, and purifying repeatedly is because the spark of the planeswalker is at work.
In addition, you should also be able to notice that the purified energy is not under your control at all, as if it could pour out at any time, right?"
It has to be said that Midnight is indeed the goddess of magic, and she quickly understood all the capabilities of this artifact staff, as well as most of its internal structure and principles.
For her, no matter how complex and profound magic knowledge is, she can understand it once she touches it.
"Your guess is absolutely correct. Now I want to upgrade and transform it. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zuo Si asked humbly.
Midnight thought for a moment and quickly answered: "Since this artifact does not use Toril's magic principle, I don't know exactly how to upgrade and transform it.
But if you don't mind, I can try to make some repairs to it using the various magical knowledge you brought back.
At least it allows you to control the purification and release of energy instead of pouring it out all at once.
In addition, I can also add the power of magic net and silver fire into it.
In this way, it will almost become the most powerful magical artifact in Faerûn.
The only thing you need to be careful about is never giving it to other mortals except you.
Because mortals cannot control such a powerful force.
They will be exploded by the energy absorbed by the staff, directly triggering a terrifying chaotic magic storm that destroys a city or even a country."
"Then what are you waiting for? Please do it now."
Zuo Si agreed without even thinking.
He always accepts free prostitution like this.
"You are worthy of being the prince of hell who is favored by Asmodeus. You are just like the devil in terms of trying to take advantage."
Midnight was obviously aware of the little thoughts of his young voter, and immediately rolled his eyes angrily.
But she rolled her eyes, and she still used her magical power to wrap the entire wooden staff, and created seven gems of different colors out of thin air, shining like stars.
In the blink of an eye, these seven gems were set on the top of the staff one by one, forming a beautiful ring shape.
Followed by a silver magic metal produced from the kingdom of the goddess of magic - the heart of the spell, pouring out from the texture inside the wooden staff, forming complex lines, symbols and patterns on the surface.
Finally, a silver flame ignited from the end of the staff, and then quickly spread to the top.
When the silver fire was completely extinguished, the originally simple wooden staff took on a completely different silvery metallic texture than before, and the seven gems continued to shine with dazzling light.
Midnight threw the repaired staff directly to Zuo Si and said bluntly: "Here, use it well.
To be continued...
