Volume 4 Chapter 529: Lord of Fire?
Soon, the Lava Dreadnoughts took the lead in throwing out several waves of burning boulders, and the effect looked extremely shocking.
Even though the War Dancers are very agile and almost never stay in one position for more than 3 seconds, the Lava Dreadnoughts can throw in a covering manner without any regard for whether they will hurt other friendly forces.
Therefore, the number of war dance elves was reduced by nearly one-third on the spot, and at least five or six hundred other fire creatures were taken away.
After doing all this, they began to engage in close combat.
They do have the ability to condense their ammunition, but that also has a long cooldown.
Then the fire giant Cremator also showed its confidence. It threw out huge flaming shackles, trapping several war dancers.
At this time, the 6th and 7th level fire giants rushed forward, picked up their obsidian clubs and hammered hard.
The weapons surrounding the war elves are often easily knocked away or broken, and their armor is also not enough to withstand attacks of this level.
After just a few rounds, several war elves were beaten into some shriveled tin cans. The little liquid and filth flowing out from the cracks proved that they were actually flesh and blood.
At this time, the fire giant Burner was looking for new prey, and soon he followed the same method and captured two war dancers.
If it continues like this, it will be able to easily kill all the war dance spirits in just a few minutes.
Although the leader of the war dance spirits was extremely angry about this, he was powerless because they did not have strong long-range attack capabilities and had no way to deal with enemies flying hundreds of meters in the sky.
He could only try to save his companions by killing the fire giants and lava dreadnoughts.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the elves and humans who were invited did not slack off at this critical moment, and they successfully intercepted the two phoenixes.
But what he could never have imagined was that the reason why Levi, Michaela and Sefa were so active was not at all to save the war elves.
First, the ignition element was used as cannon fodder. After a few fake attacks, Michaela immediately reached an agreement with the Blazing Phoenixes. The whole process went unexpectedly smoothly.
It's not just because Michaela has worked hard in this regard, but also because these two Fiery Phoenixes are often abused by the fire giants.
Leaving aside the usual things, everyone can now see very clearly that there is an unlucky guy being ridden on by the Fire Giant Cremator weighing who knows how many tons, and it is just its turn today.
The other two phoenixes had enjoyed the same treatment more than once, so they had long been filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
As long as they can defeat the other party, they are all willing to join Levi's army.
Even if it is still a mount, it can be a mount for Mikaela or Sefa, who are slim and probably weigh less than 100 pounds. It is much better than carrying that fat man who is six or seven meters tall.
And just as Levi and the others had guessed before, in the City of Flame built by the fire giants, there is a God-given building for the Blazing Phoenix, which can produce one every month.
Calculating the time, if Levi can occupy it, he will get a new recruitment opportunity next week.
However, they are still quite intelligent. They hope to officially join Levi's army after rescuing their unfortunate companion.
Of course Levi had to meet the other party's small request. He asked Cindy to continue to lead the celestial creatures and the two flaming phoenixes to play a fake match. Then he turned to meet the other party's second request, which was also their goal.
That is to kill as many evil creatures present as possible, not only limited to the fire giants, but also war elves, fire giants, and other fire elements!
Unfortunately, when Levi asked about other aspects of this alien dimension, they were clueless.
Because since they were recruited, they were usually either locked up in the fire giant village or sent out to fight with the war elves.
But based on what they learned from the Fire Giant Burner, this plane should not be large, perhaps only a few hundred square miles, and there are no other powerful creatures.
This series of information is undoubtedly very beneficial to Levi and his team.
As long as they kill all the evil creatures present and get rid of the Lord of Fire behind them, they can explore this former battlefield of the gods with confidence.
Although they were reserved, their strength was there after all. After several joint attacks, they easily killed many fire giants, allowing Levi to collect soul fragments and recharge some energy for the hunting ritual.
At this moment, Seleket suddenly reminded: "Levi, be careful!"
In fact, she didn't need to say much, everyone on the battlefield, including Levi, could see it very clearly immediately.
Perhaps it was because the war elves suffered too many losses, even their leader was successfully captured and killed under the pursuit of the fire giants, which made the Lord of Fire feel a little distressed.
Or maybe because there were enough deaths, the sacrificial ritual was finally able to run perfectly, so the Lord of Fire, who had been hiding behind the scenes, finally made a move.
First, a small sun lit up in the sky, then it quickly enlarged and turned into a meteor falling from the sky.
Many fire creatures, including the Fire Giants, began to stir, and the remaining War Dancers cheered: "The great Lord of Fire has finally arrived!"
But Levi immediately led all his friendly forces to retreat. He was 100% sure that no matter what the opponent's true identity was, it would not mind attacking them!
With a loud bang, the meteor fell on the most densely populated area of the battlefield. Along with the earth-shaking, the surrounding volcanoes and lava rivers also erupted.
For a moment, the scene seemed extremely spectacular, but for all beings staying on the battlefield, it also represented extreme danger.
Fortunately, Levi and his team were well prepared and moved away from the center as soon as possible, so they got through it relatively easily.
But after the magma and flames in the sky gradually subsided, there were basically no living things on the flat ground within a hundred meters around the landing point.
Even the war dance elves who were originally struggling to survive were killed all at once, and a huge bottomless magma pit appeared in their place.
Only those fire giants that could fly and those with thick skin and flesh managed to escape in the emergency, but they were still dumbfounded by this scene.
This was especially true for the leading fire giant, the Burning Undertaker. It had never expected that there actually was a , and that he would appear on the battlefield in such a way!
However, it did not choose to evacuate immediately. Even if it might fail or even die in battle, at least it wanted to see the true appearance of the enemy!
"roar!"
Along with a violent roar, an evil creature several meters tall, covered with red scales, with double horns on its head and bat wings on its back, jumped out from the boiling magma.
At the same time, two halos quickly spread outward with it as the center.
The few righteous sub-kons who were closest to them instantly burned like torches.
Although the fire giants on the other side were immune to this kind of fire attack, more than half of them trembled all over and fell into the magma below like puppets.
Levi's face suddenly became serious: "The flame halo and the fear halo, plus this appearance, the other party is the hell demon from Baator Hell!"
The leader of the War Dancers had mentioned blood and flames before, and Levi had suspected that the other party might be related to Khorne, or might be the Balrog from the Abyss, but he did not expect to get such an unexpected answer.
The Hell Demon is at the pinnacle of devil evolution, and its status is roughly equivalent to that of the Balrog among demons.
In the Nine Layers of Hell in Baator, every Pit Fiend is a powerful lord in a high position. They rule over at least a fortress or a city, second only to the great lord of each layer of hell.
Almost all the pit fiends will be loyal to the nine lords, but except for the Lord of the Nine Hells and the strongest devil - Asmodeus, the other eight lords can only have a maximum of 12 pit fiends as their subordinates.
On the one hand, this is a check and balance by the Lord of Hell, but on the other hand, it is also because the number of Hellfire Demons is really very, very rare, and the lords basically cannot even use up these 12 places.
In the Nine Hells, they can basically get the title of earl.
Compared with the Gaidingtian clan, it is basically equivalent to the dragon-headed messenger.
But the aura released by an ordinary Hellfire doesn’t have such a large coverage area. The radius must be more than 180 meters, right?
If this fellow is not a well-known existence in the Nine Hells, then he must have gained something special from the ruins of the battlefield of the gods!
Speaking of which, although they are the gods of demons, the Four Chaos Gods never seem to look down on ordinary demons. They have each cultivated some demons with their own unique characteristics.
While these demons have independent wills and intelligence, they still act very much like extensions of their will and thoughts.
They are not like other demon lords who seem to be irreconcilable with the devil, and they don't seem to have participated in bloody battles with the devil.
The fundamental reason may be that they are demons born from emotions, and the demons under their command are more likely to appear in the main world than those in the Abyss.
Killing humans for their souls is certainly much more fun than fighting the devil.
So in this case, is it possible that they are cooperating with the devil?
Despite such concerns, Levi did not delay his actions at all.
He immediately began to use summoning techniques to slay demons, and was definitely a favorite of the Sub-Sky Clan such as the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger!
At the same time, he asked Cindy and others to be prepared. The demons, devils and the three major celestial tribes are all mortal enemies, and Cindy's angels will definitely be the ones that attract the most hatred from the other side.
Then, cooperate with those flaming phoenixes and be ready to rescue them to your camp at any time.
But unexpectedly, the mysterious and powerful Hellfire did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it slowly floated into the air and swept the entire battlefield with an arrogant and indifferent look.
The Fire Giants were afraid of the other side's power, so they didn't dare to make any moves for the time being, for fear of provoking the other side's anger.
Levi's side were all waiting for Levi's summoning spell, so they kept a low profile, which made the entire battlefield quiet for a moment.
With a seemingly somewhat dissatisfied snort, an extremely ethereal and unearthly voice rang out from the mouth of the Hell Refiner:
"You ignorant and stupid mortal, now that you have seen the great Lord of Fire, why don't you kneel down and worship?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone present was visibly stunned.
Seleket couldn't help but complain: "This guy, is it because he got the power of the Lord of Fire that he became so arrogant?"
"Or has it been influenced and eroded by the power and memories of divinity, and has it forgotten its true identity?"
"I think the latter possibility is more likely, because when it looked at the angel, Cindy and me, there was no fluctuation at all."
Divinity is a unique quality of God, including alignment, personality, rules of conduct, etc., and of course it also contains memories and thoughts.
For ordinary beings, they can gain power, knowledge, longevity, etc. from it, but it also contains great risks.
If the will of the original owner cannot be overcome, it is entirely possible that it will usurp the nest and become the incarnation of the other party.
If it is the divinity of a god who has already disappeared, the other party may even have a chance to be resurrected.
Now Levi is more inclined to the latter, or this Hellfire Demon is at least influenced by the Lord of Fire.
Otherwise, as far as he knew, any demon or devil who encountered the celestial mystic would never be as calm as the other party was now.
If Levi and the others were just surprised, the Fire Giant Burner on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then it couldn't help laughing:
"A devil who thinks he is a god? The war elves are all fools. They actually believe in such a stupid and crazy existence!"
Upon hearing this, Wange and the others couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Regardless of whether this guy was evil or not, his courage, or stupidity, was indeed extraordinary.
The Hell Devil instantly became furious: "Damn you, blasphemer!"
It stretched out its hand and the surrounding flames and magma surged rapidly. Then dozens of black and red giant pythons, four or five meters long, as if made of rocks, emerged from the magma.
They have no wings but can fly at low altitude and rush straight towards the fire giants.
Levi, Michaela, Sefa and other mages couldn't help but feel a little depressed, because on the surface of these giant pythons, there were special runes swimming.
It represents darkness, distortion, horror and blasphemy.
They are not ordinary monsters, but special animated spells - Blasphemous Words!
Generally speaking, the strength of an activation spell is directly related to the level of the spell itself. The spells that the war dance spirits had previously used were all converted from low-level spells, so naturally they had no power at all.
But blasphemous words are 7th-level spells exclusive to the evil camp. They don't cause much damage themselves, but they come with weakening, paralysis, dizziness and instant death effects.
If it is cast in the main world, any non-evil alien creature will suffer an additional expulsion effect.
Now that it has been transformed into an activation spell, it means that each of their attacks may have all five effects at the same time.
And because they were awakened by this powerful Hellfire, their level is likely to be level 6!
As expected, those fire giants who had no idea of this were defeated almost as soon as they met.
And because of its appearance like a giant python, the activated spell - Blasphemous Words will frequently use entanglement.
In this way, the entangled fire giants would be forced to experience this series of effects again every few seconds, so in just a dozen seconds, the remaining fire giants were almost killed.
The fire giants on the other side still have some resistance. Their physique and magic resistance are stronger, so they can resist these effects better, and their counterattack ability is also stronger.
While becoming an animated spell, it also means that Blasphemy has physical weaknesses and can be killed like an ordinary creature.
But the best performance came from the leader and the most powerful fire giant, the Burner.
It was seen with flames all over its body, slashing continuously with the sword in its hand, killing four activated spells - Blasphemous Words on the spot, and then turned around and tried to escape.
Even though the newly activated spells - Blasphemous Words - emerged from the magma and obviously had a high resistance to fire, it was still not enough to withstand its onslaught.
But at the critical moment, something unusual happened to its mount.
The Fiery Phoenix let out a wail, as if it had suffered a severe blow. It folded its wings and plunged headfirst.
Although it didn't understand what was happening for a moment, the fire giant Cremator still subconsciously used its power. Flying is also its talent.
Just when it was about to replace its mount with the second Fiery Phoenix, it discovered that the mount, which had fallen halfway, suddenly flapped its wings, as if nothing had happened, and began to fly again.
Where are the scars on its body? It was just a disguise.
Then, under the protection of the other two Fiery Phoenixes, it flew back to the center of the battlefield. They were going to meet Levi and Michaela.
Although the agreement has not been fully completed, they will of course escape first if they can.
Although there were still many puzzles, when he saw this scene, the Fire Giant Burner instantly became furious: "Damn little bird, how dare you betray me?"
But the Hell Devil on the other side smiled and said, "Have you come back to the right path? Then believe in the great Lord of Fire."
"As for those who stubbornly resist, they will be punished by God!"
After saying this, it obviously misunderstood, and a portal appeared in front of the fire giant Cremator.
At the same time, a greatsword made of flames and a war hammer formed of magma appeared in its hands, and it instantly fought with the opponent.
However, the actual performance of the Deep Hell Demon was far from as powerful as it boasted. Both sides had fire attributes, and even though there was a gap in strength, it was not strong enough to kill the other in seconds.
So Levi took advantage of this time and successfully summoned the Messenger of Mercy.
The Messenger of Mercy frowned at first, but then he became excited.
Although such a powerful Hell Demon still has a certain gap with the Ninth-level Lord, it is definitely not too far behind. He must have been a well-known existence in Hell.
If we can kill the opponent here, it will undoubtedly weaken the Nine Hells!
Although he was excited, the Messenger of Mercy still responded affirmatively to Levi's inquiring look. Then he joined forces with Levi to summon the messenger.
Although he was somewhat confident, the opponent was a legendary after all, and might have been enhanced by divine power, so it was better to be more confident.
After they did all this, the Hellfire Demon finally killed his opponent.
Then, turning around, it discovered that several phoenixes had already run to Michaela and the others.
It was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I see, you want to help me persuade these ignorant and slow creatures? That's really thoughtful."
Based on its appearance, it still looks very ugly when making this expression, but you can see that it is truly happy from the bottom of its heart.
But this time, Levi, Wange and others were completely speechless. They felt more and more that this guy really had something wrong with his brain.
It doesn't even seem like the will of the true Lord of Fire - Gru, because as a human god, Gru is definitely not that stupid.
It would be fine if he misjudged Levi and the others, but he also misunderstood the Messenger of Mercy and the Courier, which was a bit too much.
The messenger couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Levi, this is the first time I've met such a friendly hell demon. Is this guy crazy?"
"Perhaps it was influenced by the will of the divinity."
"I see!"
The messenger suddenly realized it, and then he became a little excited: "That's great, Levi, let me help you obtain its divinity!"
Li Wei also smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
This is also the important reason why Levi chose to summon them instead of the stronger Illidan.
The Messengers of Mercy and the Couriers, even the Wolf Patrollers and the Wrath of the Whirlwind and other special beings from the three major celestial clans, do not need the power of divinity or priesthood.
However, if Levi wants to achieve a long-term and stable alliance, he needs to make some compensation from other places.
The Messenger of Mercy nodded silently, then soared into the sky with the Messenger. They didn't want to talk to an almost half-crazy enemy, so they decided to communicate with the swords in their hands!
Although the Hell Devil was a little crazy and a little stupid, its instincts were still there. Faced with such obvious hostility, it immediately roared in anger:
"How dare you defy the gods like this? I will roast your souls in flames for a thousand years. Come out, my Glory Guard!"
With the sound of it, a portal made of flames was quickly opened.
Even though no creature has walked out of it yet, an evil aura that makes Levi very uncomfortable has already hit him. Opposite him is the Nine Levels of Hell!
All pit fiends have the ability to summon higher-level devils or devil warbands, and all devils have a lesser but similar ability.
If they are given enough time, it may not be impossible for them to form a devil army here.
Maybe there's something wrong with the Pit Fiend's brain, but its skills as a devil still exist and are effective.
But the Messenger of Mercy was quicker than Levi. He used the sixth-level magic - sealing the portal before any demons appeared, thus stopping the opponent's intention.
Levi no longer pretended to be a weakling. After summoning the dragon-headed messenger, he chose to take the initiative to attack.
The supplies of the Doom Girl, Dimension Anchor, Light Net, Hammer of Axiom, etc. are continuous. Although the damage is not high, the impact on the Hell Demon is unquestionable.
Cindy led the angels to cast other restrictive magic. They didn't need to kill the enemy now, but they had to weaken the enemy while trying to prevent the enemy from escaping again or summoning other demons.
If they were ordinary devils, we would not be afraid at all even if there were a large number of them.
But all the hell demons are loyal to a certain demon lord. In addition, this guy now possesses divine power, so no one can be sure what kind of existence will come. It is better to be safe.
At the same time, Penthesilea, Elegy and others, who had been watching the show for a long time, also started to move, wanting to clear out the remaining miscellaneous soldiers present.
Only the Red Prince and Maltis stayed behind. This kind of environment was a bit restraining for them, so it was just right for them to cooperate with those celestial creatures to protect Michaela and Sefa.
Although the scale of the battle is much smaller than before, the intensity of the war has increased rapidly. Facing Levi and others who are not immune to fire, the Hell Demon also demonstrated his extremely high attainments in fire magic.
Lava Spray, Black Flame, Green Flame Fist, Swift Cloud Burning...
He can cast many 6th-8th level magic spells at will, almost all of them instantly.
Add to that the two halos with exaggerated ranges, if they were really allowed to be unleashed at will, even an army of a million would probably not be able to hold out for long.
It will also use portals more frequently to transfer battlefields or delay time to cast spells.
Because its strength is too strong, even with the dimensional anchor and light net provided by the Doom Girl, which can be used as 4th-level magic, it can easily break it.
Later, in order to prevent its surprise attack, Livy even asked Penthesilea and Elegy to reunite with Michaela to prevent the other party from destroying them.
Fortunately, the Messenger of Mercy seemed to have a lot of experience in fighting against the Hell Demon. He could delay the opponent more effectively and predicted the landing point of the opponent's portal many times, which greatly hindered the actions of the Hell Demon.
So after several times, the obviously angry Hell Devil no longer used the portal, but started to fight head-on, which led to its complete destruction.
Faced with enemies that no longer ran away, the Mercy Messenger, who was acting as a meat shield in front, only used two moves in total.
He used the Shield of Order to increase his defense and magic resistance, and the Strike of Justice for offense. His tactics were simple and quick, but undoubtedly extremely efficient. For a while, he forced the Hellfire to retreat continuously.
The Messenger floated above the Messenger of Mercy, constantly swinging his electric sword. Although the power of a single attack was not high, the attack speed was extremely fast.
At most times, more than a dozen dazzling lightning sword auras appeared in the air at the same time, which looked quite gorgeous.
At the same time, he was also responsible for performing purification, healing and advanced recovery techniques, etc., and was considered half a priest. Even Levi felt that the Messenger of Mercy was enjoying the fight so much.
Even though the Hell Fiend's recovery ability in this special environment was obviously far greater than that of all its kind, after fighting continuously for about half a quarter of an hour, it still became scarred and even the flames on its weapon were noticeably dimmer.
But despite this, it was enough to surprise everyone present.
You should know that the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger are both lord-level beings in the Seventh Heaven Mountain. Under normal circumstances, they are targeting the real lords of the Nine Hells, or the many demon lords of the Abyss.
Although the Hell Demon is powerful, he is one level weaker than them in terms of status and strength.
But now the two have joined forces, and with Levi by their side, after spending so much effort, they finally have hope of completely defeating the other party.
Even though the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger are the two weakest members among the Seven Paragons of the Ark, it is enough to show their extraordinary qualities.
The Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger looked at each other and knew that the time had come. They prepared to work together to unleash their ultimate moves and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
But at this time, the Hell Demon seemed to have come to his senses.
"Damn it, it's the guy from Heaven Mountain? And there's a Celestial Mystic who's close to the legendary level?"
"Damn it, when did you train it?"
However, its crazy talk did not receive any response. Both Levi and the Messenger of Mercy preferred to wait until it was completely destroyed before discussing related information.
When fighting against demons and devils, you can never be careless.
In this situation, even though the battle of the Pit Fiend had obviously become more intelligent, it still could not escape the path of defeat.
Finally, it revealed an extremely obvious flaw. It was first trapped by the messenger with a lightning sword formation, and then cut in half by a full-strength attack from the messenger of mercy.
The Hell Devil screamed out in agony: "Ah, my Lord Geryon will not let you go?"
Hearing this, the messenger finally couldn't help but speak: "Are you talking about Geryon, who was executed by the Lord of the Nine Hells for betrayal a long time ago?"
"In the name of Heaven Hill, how long have you been crazy?"
Although the high-level rulers of lawful evil devils are much more stable than demons, betrayal still occurs occasionally among the devils.
A devil named Geryon was once the ruler of the fifth layer of hell, Stygia. Because of attempting to betray, he and many of his subordinates were killed by the Lord of Hell.
The few remaining survivors either defected to other lords or were exiled.
I didn’t expect that there was a survivor here?
The Hell Devil was stunned for a moment, and then it felt a sharp pain in its brain. Many memories began to flood in frantically. It finally remembered its true identity and what had happened to it.
"Ah, Asmodeus, what on earth have I missed?"
Unfortunately, its question was destined to receive no response, because Seleket launched her first attack in this battle, and also the deadliest one.
At this moment, the upper body of the Deep Hell Demon turned into crystal, and then a ray of light fell from the sky. Levi, who had been prepared for a long time, used the Cleansing Evil again and succeeded.
First, a few points of fire separated from it, and then the Hell Demon turned into a dazzling diamond, which was caught by the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger, who both had surprised looks on their faces.
What surprised them was not the spoils in their hands, but the magic used by Levi, which was a power they had never mastered.
Moreover, the magic that Levi had just used also contained the power of the Holy Word of Creation many times. The meaning behind this was extraordinary...
But Levi is not as noble as them. He is now eager to know how much benefit the Deep Hell Demon can bring him!
Moreover, this diamond will be handed over to Lilith later for careful study.
Normally, demons and devils can only be completely killed in the Abyss or the Nine Layers of Hell.
In other places, even if they died in battle, they would only suffer serious injuries, but there was still a possibility of resurrection.
If one is very powerful and has a rich background, it is entirely possible that he will be resurrected immediately after his death, and his level may not even drop.
Those demons that were sealed before, no matter whether they belonged to the Abyss or the Four Chaos Gods, could not be completely killed even by Illidan himself.
Many gods have stated that demons and devils are essentially extensions of the Abyss or the Nine Hells.
Especially those lords who have accepted the power of these two evil planes have become their spokespersons to some extent, so their power will be increased accordingly in their respective territories.
Internal conflicts between each other can kill them, but when they go out to fight with beings from other planes, they will not be killed all at once. It is as if they have been backed up by the two evil planes' souls.
The only exceptions Levi knows about at the moment are probably the three disaster lords sent by the Horned Rat. After being sealed by Illidan, they were completely dead.
Perhaps because of this, the Horned Rat took the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
But although the behavior of those disaster lords is very similar to that of demons, they still belong to the kingdom of God established by the Big Horned Rat in the Scorching Hell.
Although the word "hell" is included in its name, the Scorching Hell does not belong to the Nine Layers of Hell, and the Kingdom of God itself is also a small plane, so many of its characteristics are even more different.
But Cleansing Evil is different. According to its description, once the spell is successfully cast, if the target has a soul, it is the soul that is trapped in the diamond.
In the case of a soulless vampire or ghost, it is its entire essence.
Then what is locked up in a special existence like the devil?
Levi had this question before, and now he is taking this opportunity to give it a try.
If his guess was true, then he might be able to truly understand why Heaven Mountain would expend tremendous effort to cultivate celestial mystics.
At the same time, this is also for the sake of confidentiality. If the entire essence of the Deep Hell Devil is sealed, then it is naturally impossible for it to be resurrected again and reveal its gains here to other demons.
Before Levi could think more, the messenger couldn't wait to offer his treasures: "Levi, 2 points of divinity, 1 fragment of godhood, 1 fragment of priesthood - fire, and some knowledge in the field of fire. This is a great harvest."
"With a little purification, they will be enough to help you become a demigod. I wonder if you are interested in becoming the new Lord of Fire? I am willing to help you with all my strength!"
As long as a mortal can successfully absorb all the power of a fragment of the godhead, it is possible for him to become a demigod.
If one also possesses any of the priesthoods at the same time, he can ignite the divine fire, be officially deified, and improve his level of divinity by continuously developing his faith.
If you have a total of 2 pieces of divine fragments, you can be promoted to level 1 god, followed by 4, 9, 16, and 25. The number of divine fragments required is the square of the divine level.
It is easier at the beginning, but more is required as time goes on, so the divinity levels of many gods remain between 0-3 for a long time.
If the priesthood is not good enough and they do not have a strong background, it will often be difficult for them to get promoted quickly.
The Messenger of Mercy next to him also expressed his rare congratulations and expressed the same meaning. He was willing to help Levi purify his divine consciousness and even help him become a god.
In fact, under normal circumstances, they would not do this.
Because judging from the series of performances just performed by the Hell Demon, it is obvious that his divinity contains some of the original consciousness of the gods.
And because of the agreement between the gods and Mount Heaven, they cannot interfere in matters concerning other gods. The only exception is that the other party has completely fallen to the point of associating with demons or devils.
Previously there was only the Spider Queen, Rose, and now there may be the addition of the Horned Rat, Squark.
But after the Hell Demon was defeated, the divinity regained its freedom. After certain conditions are met, the god may still be resurrected with the help of this divinity.
Furthermore, no one can be sure whether the god has other relatives or friends alive. If one tries to purify the consciousness of one of them, there will be certain risks.
But now, for Levi, both of them are willing to take such risks.
Levi could certainly understand the situation, but while he was moved and wanted to express his gratitude, he still politely declined the other party's proposal.
Of course he wanted to be deified, but not now.
Nagash has obtained six of the nine volumes. How can he give up at this critical moment?
The priesthood of fire is indeed very good, but it is still slightly inferior to the priesthood of death, not only in terms of its lethality to the living, but also in terms of its potential and upper limit.
When gods have enough power and knowledge in their ministry or domain, they may begin to embark on the path of pursuing the original power.
For example, the origin of war, the origin of light, the origin of shadow, or the origin of fire.
With the help of the power of origin, they can further strengthen their own strength.
But the total amount of original power is limited, and all gods with relevant priesthoods need to compete together for this piece of cake.
This may be the reason why the God of the Dawn, Lathander, desperately suppresses all gods who attempt to get involved in the duties of the Sun.
The origin of war is the most competitive, and almost all pantheons have their own gods of war, totaling more than double digits.
The strongest God of Fire at present is Kasusi, the Lord of Fire among the four elemental lords, whose godhood is suspected to be as high as level 19.
He owns an entire huge fire elemental plane, which is full of his subordinates and believers.
He has lived long enough and is very powerful, so ordinary new gods have no ability to compete with him.
The same goes for the other three of the four elemental lords: Arcadia, the goddess of wind who owns the elemental plane of air, Istissia, the lord of water who owns the elemental plane of water, and Grumba, the lord of earth who owns the elemental plane of earth.
They basically occupy the largest share in terms of their respective original powers.
In this situation, even if Levi became a god, he would basically never be able to surpass them in the areas where they were best.
But the realm of death is different. Not to mention that this is what the elf realm lacks the most at present and is also what Lilith most encourages Levi to obtain, the competitive pressure in the realm of death is far less than that in the four elemental realms.
Because there is currently a lack of strong people with absolute advantages.
Excluding the Pale Queen of the elven pantheon who has disappeared into obscurity, the strongest being the Lord of the Dead of mankind - Kelemvor, who possesses immense divine power.
But as a god, he is still a new god, because he was promoted directly from a mortal warrior to a god after the last war of gods in the human pantheon, in which many gods related to death died.
Together with him are the Mother of Magic, Mystra, and the Prince of Lies, Cyric. They were all once mortals, and they all became gods in one step.
Even though the Lord of the Dead has an assistant who is known as the Lord of the End of All Things and is a very senior servant god - Jergal, but in the past few years, he has been lucky enough to have mastered his own power, and it is almost impossible for him to have much energy to delve into the original power.
He went directly from a mortal to a powerful god, but his foundation was seriously unstable, and it was not so easy for him to make further progress.
In comparison, the gods of death from other pantheons are obviously much weaker.
The strongest one may be the Egyptian God King - Osiris, whose divinity level is 11.
Many other pantheons do not have a god of death at all. Instead, they have gods such as the supervisor of death and the guardian of the dead. These gods are somewhat related to death, but they are not the most orthodox gods of death.
For example, Dumathoin, the chief shield dwarf god of the dwarves, also serves as the guardian of the dead.
Or the level of godhood is very low, such as the greenskin god of death, the maggot king - Idros, whose godhood level is 6.
There are also those that do not have a professional god of death, and their godhood level is still low, such as the gatekeeper of the underworld in the elven pantheon - Nisu, whose godhood level is 4.
The halfling's guardian of the dead is simply a demigod.
The human pantheon also has a new competitor, the god of liches and undead creatures - Arthas, but he is currently only a demigod.
Many races and nations have recently suffered heavy casualties from the rebellion of the Skaven and Greenskins, and these gods associated with death may have benefited greatly from this.
But in the short term, they should not see a particularly big improvement as a result, and the probability of involving the origin of death is even lower.
In this case, if Levi can become the new god of death, with the support of Lilith, Illidan, Sobek and Celeket, and even the three major celestial races, behind him, how far can he achieve?
Isn't this easier than competing with the Lord of Fire - Kashus for the origin of fire?
Perhaps in the beginning, he was committed to collecting the nine volumes of Nagash because of Lilith's wishes.
But by now, this has already truly become his own desire!
