Volume 4 Chapter 597: Siege of Xirik
A rose-red sword quickly appeared in his hand, and then Xirik turned into hundreds of phantoms, trying to stop the wave that was coming again.
Levi couldn't help but stare. According to the Phantom Goddess Leila, her body was destroyed by this sword. Its name is the God-killing Sword, or the God-disaster Sword.
But in fact it is not just a sacred artifact, it is also an incarnation of the God of Thieves - Mask!
Although it is not known how Mask did it, it is indeed a fact. He even hid it from Cyric and many gods.
If Leila had not been stabbed through the heart by a sword, she would never have imagined that such a thing would happen.
Now that Xirik has gone crazy to this extent, Mask is still staying by his side.
The biggest possibility, of course, is that Musk also wants to be a jackal.
So do I have a chance?
Mythrion, the god of puzzles of the elves, was once killed in an ambush by Lolth, Malar, Talos, and Mask. The condition for unlocking the ring he left behind is to kill his enemies and obtain more than 10% of the contribution.
Killing one enemy will allow permanent use of the ring, while killing two enemies and injecting enough divine power will further increase the power of the ring.
According to Levi and Lilith's speculation, it is very likely that they have obtained the divinity or priesthood fragments and other related items left by the God of Mazes.
I wonder if killing an avatar counts?
However, Levi could not confirm for the time being whether this Divine Disaster Sword was the incarnation of Mask or a projection of an incarnation.
The artifacts equipped on the god's body can often be used to consume a certain amount of divine power to create one or more copies for use by other incarnations. This requires Levi to make further confirmation.
After thinking about it, Levi communicated with Cranworth.
Cranworth was suddenly very surprised. Even he didn't know about this matter, so how did Levi know it?
But this detail is not important now.
Although he and Mask did not have any major grudges, Mask, as Cyric's only ally, was of course a target that needed to be attacked.
Moreover, Mask's enemies overlap to a large extent with Cyric's enemies, including the goddess of commerce - Waukin, the guardian god - Heim, and the moon maiden - Sulen, etc.
Whether they joined the siege together or simply held back Mask, it would undoubtedly add new chips to their victory, so Clemvor quickly passed the news.
At the same time, he also assured Levi that if there was a suitable opportunity, Levi would give Mask the final blow.
Although some details are still unclear, he can still understand Levi's purpose. He must have a grudge against Musk and wants to take revenge.
On this side, although Xirik shouted very fiercely, he actually seriously overestimated his own strength.
The godhood levels of Kelemvor and Qingjia are not inferior to that of Cyric. And this time it is a joint attack by many death gods. How could Cyric win?
A wave hit him, and Xirek barely held on for a few seconds before he was blown away for hundreds of miles.
The wave pressed down, and although a little resistance could be felt, it still easily broke through the protective barrier of the underworld.
After all, Xirik has only been a god for a short time, and he has not put much energy into the underworld. Compared with the underworld, he is still too young.
Seeing that the wave was about to cover them, except for a small group of Cyric's diehard fans who could not help but shout out in despair or anger, most of the souls were excited, and many even knelt on their knees to express their humility and submission to the gods.
Levi also discovered that some of the souls had actually become his shallow believers, which was an unexpected small gain.
"Ah, damn false gods, you all deserve to die!"
Following the roar, Xirik, holding the God-killing Sword, ran back again, and at the same time, four more figures appeared beside him.
Three of them are covered in shadows and their faces cannot be seen clearly. The last one looks like a culmination of various monsters, with dragon wings, Titan fists, Tyrannosaurus Rex claws, etc.
But appearance is not important. What is important is the aura they exude. They are all the fighting embodiment of Xirik.
Seeing this, many gods couldn't help but complain. Xirik's aesthetic sense really had some problems.
When it comes to the fighting power between gods, appearance is not important at all. What is important is who has more divine power and who possesses stronger supernatural power!
Kelemvor was immediately delighted. According to Xirik's strength, he could theoretically create up to 15 combat incarnations equivalent to the seventh level of godhood.
But Xirik had only been a god for a short time and had made too many enemies, so his divine power was not sufficient. In fact, he only had 10 incarnations in total.
Now that half of the situation has emerged, as long as we hold them back, the action in other places will be much smoother!
So Kelemvor was not to be outdone and directly sent out 10 avatars.
Apart from the dead Velsharoon, he had only two enemies among the gods, Cyric in front of him, and the goddess of poison and disease - Talona.
Therefore, compared to Xirik, his divine power is more sufficient, and his godhood level is also higher. These combat incarnations are all level 9. Don’t you believe that you can’t defeat Xirik?
No idea if it was because he had gone mad or he thought he had been seriously provoked and had to fight back forcefully, so Xirik acted fearless and he actually took the initiative to rush forward and attack Clemvor.
Thus, a fierce war between gods broke out instantly, and both sides used various extraordinary powers continuously.
Soon many gods unexpectedly discovered that although they were at a disadvantage in strength, Xirik was not at a disadvantage in actual fighting.
This is mainly because of his priestly duties such as illusion, deception and lies, which even Clemvor cannot see through 100%.
When Xirik was still a mortal, he was a thief, so his fighting style was more inclined towards speed and agility. When combined with illusions, he became even more difficult to deal with.
Kelemvor is a very traditional warrior type, whose style is mainly based on steady and cautious attack. Even if his combat incarnations are more numerous and stronger, he cannot win quickly.
But Kelemvor didn't care, because even though they were fighting, they had never stopped depriving Cyric of his abilities and purifying Cyric's underworld, and the Mother of Magic had also taken action!
As the fight went on, Cyric finally realized something was wrong: "Damn it, that bitch Mystra actually blocked my perception, and teamed up with that nerd Oghma to massacre my believers on the ground?"
The Mother of Magic is recognized as one of the most powerful gods. Among Cyric's enemies, she is probably the only one who can temporarily block Cyric's perception of his believers.
Shouting like this, Xirik began to think about backing out, but he was caught in a dilemma. He couldn't ignore the believers in the main world, but if he gave up the underworld now, it would also be bad.
Although he is crazy, he is not stupid. The priesthood of death and the dead is his most powerful deterrent to other false gods. If he loses these two priesthoods, the number of false gods who dare to cause trouble for him will probably increase several times at once.
But soon he no longer had to hesitate, because God had already made the choice for him.
"Oh no, my kingdom of God, damn Bane, are you stupid enough to join forces with these hypocrites?"
In the plane of the Noisy Tunnel, Bane, who was gathering huge purple-black fists to launch a fierce attack on the location of the Kingdom of Xirik below, could not help but snort coldly:
"The strong have not only the right, but also the obligation to rule over the weak, Xirik, and now you are that weak one!"
"Maybe you could consider being my dog, maybe you can save your life!"
He was once one of the three gods of death. Although part of Cyric's power did not come from him, but from another fallen god of death, he still felt very unhappy.
Moreover, during the short period of his death, Xirik had abducted many of his believers, including high-ranking members of the church. Those betrayers in turn massacred his diehards, and the two sides had already formed a mortal feud.
Even if he killed Cyric now, it would be almost impossible for him to regain the lost items from the hands of Kelemvor and other death gods, but at least he could vent his anger.
Xirik did leave a few combat incarnations in the kingdom of God, but that didn't matter at all. He wasn't here to fight Xirik in a duel. His goal was to kill as many of Xirik's believers as possible.
The underworld was attacked by the gods of death such as Kelemvor, and the main world was attacked by the Mother of Magic and Oghma. If he killed more of them, even if he could barely survive this time, Xirik would never have a good life in the future!
Of course, if Xirik is really willing to submit to me, I might be able to spare his life, but the prerequisite is that Xirik is willing to give up all his priesthood.
Cyric didn't believe a word of what Bane said. Bane had never been a magnanimous god. He could only curse loudly while sending two avatars to try to intercept Bane's attack.
But compared to the vast area of God's kingdom, how could just two incarnations possibly defend against it?
Even if Xirik's kingdom has built a complete defense, how can it possibly withstand the fierce attack of a powerful god?
What's more, Bane's action was just the beginning. The Three Holy Saints of Justice, led by Tyr, and the goddess of justice, Verena, soon joined the attack.
If they encountered Bane under normal circumstances, they would definitely have a verbal fight, if not a physical fight. But now they didn't have the heart to waste words.
Cyric was immediately furious. It was okay for Tyr, and his two followers barely endured it, but the Goddess of Justice was just a weak divine power of level 2. She usually took the initiative to run away when she saw him, so how dare she come and cause trouble for him now?
"You old-fashioned fools, I will kill you all sooner or later!"
But Tyr and the others ignored him at all. Xirik just had to hold on for today.
Next came the Lord of the Dawn - Lathander. This time he dispatched five avatars to join the battle at once, and his contribution was second only to Kelemvor.
Regardless of how much of his past actions are questionable, at least he is very active in fighting against evil such as Cyric.
Seeing him appear, Bane took the initiative to choose to avoid him. It’s not that he was afraid of the other party, but he couldn’t figure out whether Luo Shanda was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
He even suspected at one point that Losander might be an evil god in a very disguised form.
Moreover, there is no interest and no necessary conflict, which is not what he wants. The most urgent task at the moment is to kill Xirik.
Losander noticed Bane's actions. He was very pleased with the other party's retreat. He was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but Cyric spoke first.
"Lathander, you hypocrite, you dare not come here to challenge the real God if you don't hide under the skirt of the Earth Goddess?"
Losander was instantly annoyed. With just a few dozen words, Xirik hit the two major pain points in his heart.
"Xirik, what are you talking about? Shantia and I are in true love!"
But Xirik only responded with one word: "Humph!"
He is the God of Lies, and what he is best at is creating and identifying lies!
"Ahhh, Xirik, you really deserve to die!"
Losander suddenly became more and more angry. Even though the attributes of this plane were seriously incompatible with him, he was determined to send a few more incarnations.
This time, I must thoroughly hurt Xirik and let him know what to say and what not to say!
But when the next wave of attacks came, Xirik was a little confused: "Talos, Tempus, why are you here to join in the fun?"
Although he was crazy, he was not a fool. He was sure that he had never had any enmity with these two powerful gods before.
The Storm King laughed and said, "I'm happy!"
He is the leader of the furious gods, a notorious member of the chaotic evil camp. He never needs to explain his actions to anyone!
The God of War Tempus snorted coldly: "I hate you despicable guys who attack from behind!"
What he advocated was direct combat, a one-on-one head-on duel with real swords and guns. Even if he was not strong enough and died at the hands of the enemy, he was still a warrior.
But Xirik and his followers have always been fond of conspiracies and sneak attacks. Many brave warriors died very miserably before they could even show their strength. This is very annoying.
Then the Crimson Knight, Uthgar, Captain of the Waves - Velkur, and several servant gods belonging to Tempus also appeared one after another and dealt Cyric several harsh blows.
However, their appearance was more like a statement of attitude. After fighting for a while, they followed Tempus' footsteps and left together.
The recent frequent wars in the main world have benefited them collectively. They should seize the opportunity to obtain more divine power. There is no need to waste time here in Xirik.
Anyway, no matter whether Xirik is dead or alive, no one dares to provoke them.
Then the dwarven pantheon and Sigmar also arrived. Moradin transformed his Soul Forger into a giant hammer several thousand meters long, and directly smashed large buildings in the Kingdom of Cyric into ruins. Naturally, the petitioners inside were turned into ashes without any suspense.
Sigma threw out a projection of his own Skullcrusher hammer.
When he was still a mortal, the dwarves gave him a hammer called Skullcrusher, which accompanied him to conquer the entire empire. He left the hammer to the next generation of emperors as a testimony to the friendship between the dwarves and the Sigmar Empire.
When he ascended to godhood, he and the dwarven gods joined forces to forge a new war hammer, which he still named Skullcrusher, indicating that his friendship with the dwarven gods would last forever.
In fact, he didn't like to join in this kind of fun, but Xirik was too annoying.
As soon as he arrived, he keenly noticed 10 gazes. At such a special moment, the five incarnations of Losander cast their eyes over to him immediately, full of suspicion and vigilance, and even a hint of hostility that was not hidden.
Sigmar knew it immediately. Even though he was very careful and did not reveal the power of the Sun Clergy at all, Rothsander was still extremely suspicious.
When it comes to priesthood and faith, oftentimes there is no need for much evidence; suspicion is enough.
This is especially true for Losander.
But Sigmar didn't have any fear in his heart, instead he was full of fighting spirit. He had been the God of Dawn for so many years, but still couldn't make a breakthrough. You'd better just be the God of Dawn honestly, and the position of Sun God will be mine!
The other dwarf gods also took similar actions. All of a sudden, more than a dozen super-giant hammers, axes, shields, pickaxes, etc. flew over in a black mass, and it was unknown how many petitioners were killed.
Even Dekaladze, one of the twin demigods who had just recovered, came to join in the fun and cast a grateful look at Levi's incarnation.
As twin demigods, he and his brother had long ago taken some extreme measures because they were dissatisfied with some of Moradin's practices and wanted to pursue greater power, which led to their expulsion by the God-King Moradin.
But when they got outside, they realized that Moradin and other dwarf gods were the ones who were truly good to them, and those beings who indulged in their wishes must have other intentions towards them.
So after being first bewitched by the succubus queen, then driven by the minotaur king, and finally saved by the dwarf gods, he finally woke up and awakened.
From now on, he is the enemy of all evil!
The other dwarf gods also smiled and greeted Levi. The dwarf pantheon is a purer family pantheon than the Egyptian pantheon. They are all related to Dekaraze by blood, so naturally they are grateful to Levi.
Levi also smiled and returned the greetings one by one. The dwarf pantheon was still very intimidating, and Sigmar had specifically said that they were very trustworthy partners and comrades.
After noticing this, many gods present couldn't help but keep it in mind. Looking at this, it seems that Levi might become the second god after Sigmar to gain the collective friendship of the dwarf gods?
Although the Dwarf Gods are declining and getting weaker day by day, loyalty is their greatest characteristic. If they want to have a conflict with Levi, they still have to consider the attitude of the Dwarf Gods and Sigmar.
Xirik didn't say much this time, because he knew that his priesthood of lying was in conflict with these upright dwarfs. It would be fine if he didn't say anything, but once he opened his mouth, I'm afraid these dwarfs would not just come to join in the fun.
But after the dwarf gods left, the arrival of the next group of gods made both the enemy and us a little confused.
Because they were Lilith, Moonbow, Illidan, Imrik, Sobek, Serket and Hathor from the elven pantheon, and of course another incarnation of Levi.
Seeing this series of gods, who were generally of lower levels and had nothing to do with him, joining in the fun, Xirik became more and more furious:
"Damn it, what are you doing here again? Do you really think I'm easy to bully ?"
Although they were planning to show their faces a little, Lilith and Yuegong chose to hide their powers at the same time, and their incarnations were only at level 1 or 2 of godhood.
The upper limit of a combat incarnation is usually half of the original divine level, but if one intentionally makes it weaker, that is of course not a problem at all.
After all, there is usually no such thing as a priesthood in the body of a combat incarnation, and the godhead is also a virtual godhead. It mainly depends on the amount of divine power infused, and the degree of freedom is very high.
So Xirik was really annoyed this time. The combined levels of these guys' divinity might not be as high as his, and yet they dared to cause trouble?
"Of course I'm here to take revenge on you!"
Following this cry, a goddess shrouded in mist and phantoms appeared.
Leila also felt wronged. She had been doing well and had never been at odds with any god, but who knew that she would still become Xirik's target?
If she had not been discovered by Levi and taken in by Lilith , it would be unknown whether she would still be alive now.
Even this incarnation of hers was created with the divine power funded by Lilith, and this was the first time she had suffered such a great injustice.
Now that she has this opportunity, of course she will come!
The gods suddenly realized what was going on. Lilith, who was famous for having friends all over the world, actually had a relationship with Leila.
Moreover, Lilith did not take the opportunity to kill Leila and seize her priesthood, which shows that the relationship between the two is still very good.
However, most of them did not take it seriously, because although Lilith and her group seemed to be numerous and powerful, it was still unknown whether they could defeat an incarnation of Xirik together.
Leila said it was revenge, but in reality she was just taking advantage of the power of others and taking the opportunity to release her anger.
If the Three Righteous Ones and Lathander and other gods were not there, Leila would probably not dare to show up at all, because she would likely become the prey of other gods.
The kingdom of God was destroyed and her original body was killed. Even if she was taken in by Lilith, how much power would Leila have now?
Leila's actions soon proved the gods' guesses. She had been carefully hiding behind Lilith, and the attacks she released were obviously much weaker than those of other gods. Rather than besieging Cyric, she was more like a cheerleading team.
Levi is in a similar situation. This time , the gods are besieging Cyric, and he is mainly here to support Lilith and Leila, and to make himself familiar to them.
Likewise, Imrik, Seleket, Hathor, etc., all have similar purposes. They want to be very clear and label themselves as members of the elven pantheon. This way, they will definitely have less trouble in the future.
After a while, the God of Mages - Azuth, the God of Prophecy - Savras, the God of Literature - Denir, the God of Bards - Mirriel, and many others also arrived one after another.
Seeing this, Cyric finally panicked. The combat power of these gods themselves was not very high, but the first two were servants of Mystra, and the last two were servants of Oghma, the Lord of Knowledge.
Since the god arrived first, the two main gods will surely follow.
Even though the plane attributes here have a strong suppressive force on good or lawful beings, when the number of enemies reaches a certain level, this suppression can almost be ignored!
"Ahhh, you damned false gods! The Supreme Lord - Xirik has ruled that you are guilty and you deserve to die!"
