"Hoo-ho-ho-"
Accompanied by a heavy breathing sound like a broken bellows, the young man who killed the Mother of Orcs slowly stood up from a half-kneeling position, his whole body swaying as if he had just experienced a fierce battle and exhausted all his energy.
But he clearly just made a gesture of drawing his sword and thrusting it down.
Moreover, his originally black hair turned gray in an instant, and his eyes became extremely dim, giving people the feeling that he was dying in the next second.
There is no doubt that this is the heavy price to pay for directly touching and destroying the spiritual essence of a god.
Of course, if you switch to other gods and quasi-divine powers, the result won't be much different.
the reason is simple!
If it is the same weak divine power, then almost all the power will be lost after taking action, and it will take a long time to slowly recover.
During this period, any creature with divine power, including enemy gods and their chosen ones, can be killed effortlessly.
Only when a higher-level god kills a lower-level god can he not be weakened to the point of being slaughtered by others, but he will also be severely damaged and may be taken advantage of by opponents of the same level.
This is why the battles between the gods rarely escalate to the level of a divine war. They are basically proxy wars, that is, letting mortal believers, priests, and voters fight against each other to ultimately achieve a certain goal or crush the other party's conspiracy.
It has the meaning of "making friends with force" and "pointing to the point".
Otherwise, once a direct conflict breaks out between the gods, it is very likely that it will no longer be a grudge between one or two gods, but will trigger a series of chain reactions leading to a great melee among the gods.
At that time, it will be like a series of matryoshka dolls with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
It is this chain of suspicion that if you kill one opponent, another opponent may come and kill you, it ensures the overall stability of the God Realm in Faerun.
Almost every time a god kills a god, it will inevitably evolve into a major event that can determine the direction of history.
But as a saying goes, all existing cognitions, rules, and signed contracts are meant to be broken without exception.
Although Zuo Si tends to be evil and lawful on the whole, he does not like to abide by rules that are unfavorable to him. Instead, he will find ways to tear them into pieces and then establish rules that are beneficial and even completely controlled by him.
This is almost the common characteristic of all demons in Baator Hell.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many lords from different levels, one by one, all secretly forming a secret alliance to overthrow Asmodeus and become the new King of Devils.
"How are you feeling now?"
Zuo Si didn't know when he had come to the young man's side, gently pressed a hand on the young man's shoulder, and then injected a lot of life and soul power.
In a blink of an eye!
One second he looked like he might die suddenly at any time, but the next second his pale face was greatly relieved, and he responded with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Master, I'm afraid I can't continue to serve you.
Because I can feel that the power belonging to the Nephalem in my body has disappeared forever."
"No, you have done a good job and there is no need to apologize. Now go home and enjoy your life. I will ask Jinji Tasha to arrange a job you like."
After saying that, Zuo Si gently patted the young man's shoulder to express comfort.
He was obviously not surprised by this result.
After all, destroying the spiritual essence of a god is not an easy task. In the original plan, he was even prepared to sacrifice three to four Nephalem at once to achieve this goal.
But now it seems that the situation is much better than expected.
As a direct descendant of Anu, the creator god of the world of Sanctuary, the power of the Nephalem can completely kill the god, but only if the god's spiritual carrier has been basically destroyed and has no power to fight back.
Perhaps the only price is that this power will be completely consumed, causing the powerful Nephalem to completely degrade into mortals.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Jinji Tasha has mastered the technology of mass manufacturing and awakening Nephalem.
In other words, although this new type of god-killing weapon is one-off, it can be mass-produced.
"Thank you very much! It is the greatest honor of my life to serve you."
The young man put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply. He was then magically transported to the cave tree and returned to the world where the floating city was located through the dark void.
He understood that his mission had been completed, and all that was left was to enjoy an ordinary and prosperous life.
You must know that after so many years of development and construction, the once-dead world has not only regained its vitality, but the use of a large amount of magic and technology has also made the level of productivity extremely high, and education has become universal for all.
Most importantly, the planet is managed by artificial intelligence and New Phyrexia creations that have no selfish motives or desire for power.
Therefore, the overall social environment is very fair and harmonious, making ordinary people feel like they are in paradise. Even the overall moral level is generally ridiculously high.
Because of the super high welfare, they don't have even the slightest fear about the future, and even the world where their souls will go after death is known in advance.
You don't need to ask to know that this is also a social experiment deliberately conducted by Zuo Si.
Test how long a near-perfect social state under the rule of artificial intelligence can be maintained, and what impact long-term living in this state will have on people's thoughts, consciousness, and cognition.
When the young man who had lost the power of the Nephalem disappeared completely, Zuo Si turned around again and asked the orc god with a smile: "What, do you still think that I dare not kill you?
Do you think I'm taking a risk by doing this?
Do not be silly!
From the first day I came to this world, I have been thinking about how to resist the threat from the gods.
Guess, after so many years, how many means and methods do I have at my disposal to kill God?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Remember, the real source of the immortality and greatness of the gods is not the power you control, but the pure thought, spirit and philosophy, which are also the source of thousands of gods.
The identity and belief of all mortals.
Especially as a race god, the first thing to ensure is the safety of the race and the basic guarantees necessary for survival.
Only in this way will their numbers continue to increase and bring more power.
In my opinion, this is equivalent to a sacred contract between God and believers, and it is an obligation that both parties must fulfill to maintain the entire cycle.
Mortals have obviously fulfilled their commitments and continuously provided power to the gods through prayer and practice of teachings.
But the problem is that many gods have obviously forgotten this a long time ago.
They began to be proud and complacent, and began to think that mortals were just their playthings or tools to achieve a certain goal.
Especially for chaotic and evil gods like you and the spider goddess Lolth, what you do is not in the long-term interests of the entire race.
Otherwise, why do you think Thrall could so easily make hundreds of thousands of orcs abandon the so-called traditions of the past?
Is it just because of the guidance of shamanic teachings?
No!
The real reason is that they have long been fed up with living in a social environment where the jungle rules the jungle every day, and they are also tired of having to be vigilant and wary of everyone around them.
Any intelligent creature has a progressive set of needs.
These include physiological needs at the bottom level, safety needs at the second level, social needs at the third level, and esteem needs at the fourth level.
But the question is which of these are satisfied by the orc pantheon you established?
Under the cruel oppression that only the strong have the right to dominate everything, most ordinary orcs have no way to fill their stomachs. They can't get treatment for injuries and illnesses and can only wait for death. Even their reproductive rights are completely deprived and they can only watch.
The strong ones occupy those young women with the best fertility.
And you can't meet their physiological needs.
Secondly, under the absolute ravage of the weak by the strong, ordinary orcs don't even have their own property, so how can they have a sense of security? They may be thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder at some point.
This also means that you cannot provide them with security requirements.
As for the remaining social needs and respect needs, they are infinitely close to non-existence in this power-oriented society.
After all, orcs with high status and strength do not need to communicate at all, let alone respect anyone. They only need to give orders and make others obey.
And those orcs living at the bottom have to endure all kinds of insults, beatings, torture and sarcasm day after day.
In this case, if it were you, would you continue to believe in an evil god who supports the strong to continue to oppress and enslave you, or would you support a new god who is willing to give you respect and equality?
I think anyone who is not a fool would choose the latter without hesitation.
So you think that all this is a conspiracy that I promoted secretly, but in fact I just took advantage of the huge rift and contradiction that has always existed between you and the underlying orcs.
As for Thrall...
His success is no accident, it is the inevitable result of the continuous advancement of objective facts."
As these words from analysis to conclusion blurted out, Gruumsh's already livid face suddenly became even more ugly.
Although as a chaotic and evil god, logic has never been his area of ​​expertise, he still knows that the other party is right.
If those ordinary orcs, who are the most numerous and suffer from exploitation and oppression, have a choice, they will definitely not be willing to become their followers.
To be continued...
