Volume 4 Chapter 598: Divine Disaster Sword
Although Xirik was shouting very loudly, his actions were actually very cowardly. He directly began to withdraw his incarnation from the underworld.
Clemvor in the underworld naturally would not let his opponent get his wish. He changed his previous fighting style and began to launch a fierce attack, even at the cost of exchanging injuries for injuries. After all, he had a big family and a big business, so he could afford it!
Xirik suddenly became more and more crazy, and a string of obscene words came out of his mouth, which also broadened Levi's horizons.
Generally speaking, even evil gods would be concerned about their identities, and they would at most curse people with a few words like "idiot" or something like that. But now Xirik was like a little gangster, being as vicious as he could.
Moreover, Cyric also vividly recounted the adventure story of himself, Kelemvor, and the Mother of Magic - Mystra, when they were still mortals.
According to what he said, Mystra had seduced him like a bitch many times, but the wise and brave Xirik remained unmoved.
As a result, Mystra began to feel hatred because she could not get the love she wanted. She turned to Kelemvor, the bootlicker, and launched a series of revenge against Cyric, which has continued to this day.
After hearing the story told by Cyric, Kelemvor naturally became furious and launched a more fierce attack.
Levi, Yager and others just looked at each other in silence.
What happened between these three gods was no secret at all. The truth was not like that at all. They were originally a couple, but Xirik was unable to get their love, so he used trickery to separate them.
It stands to reason that as the Prince of Lies, Xirik would never tell such a low-level lie that could be easily exposed. It would be an insult to his priesthood.
Unless, Xirik thought that this was the original fact.
It seems that Xirik is really crazy. Perhaps our side can take the opportunity to participate in this battle and gain more benefits?
Although they had some ideas in their minds, Levi and his team did not set off immediately because their action had reached the most critical moment.
Suddenly, the time in the entire underworld seemed to slow down a lot, and then bursts of black and red lightning flashed continuously in the sky. Although no sound was heard, all the beings in the underworld seemed to hear bursts of tearing sounds.
All the fighting incarnations of Xirik, who were originally fighting, screamed at the same time, because they felt that they were being strongly rejected by the underworld, and it wanted to drive them away!
But he soon discovered with increasing horror that this was not the only thing.
Because as a god of death, the many bonuses he obtained in the underworld began to be rapidly weakened, and he even began to feel suppressed.
He suddenly realized that perhaps from the very beginning, Clemvor's purpose was not just to attack him, his target was his own priesthood!
Unfortunately, he realized it too late. With a light shout from Jergal, all the gods of death exerted their strength together. The invisible wave swept over again, pausing the movements of all the combat incarnations of Xirik.
Maybe in reality it is less than 0.1 second, but for Clemvor, it is actually more than enough.
All his combat incarnations simultaneously released a shock wave of divine power, which instantly severely injured Xirek's combat incarnation, and attacked in the same direction. Then an invisible wave instantly swept Xirek's combat incarnation.
Although Xirik reacted immediately and tried to escape from this place completely and return to the kingdom of God.
But he was horrified to find that his multiple combat incarnations were like flying insects wrapped in amber and could not move at all.
At the same time, through some mysterious connection, the priesthood of death and the dead on his own side seemed to be stirring, as if wanting to leave his body.
He immediately knew that this was definitely not something that the fool Kelemvor could do.
"No, you can't do that!"
"Jacob, I know it must be you. I order you to stop immediately!"
As soon as the words came out, Kelemvor was instantly annoyed. What do you mean? I can't do it myself, only Jergal can do it?
Although he knew that compared to Jergal, he was still a very new god and did not know much about the origin of death, it was okay for other gods to say that, but what Xirik said was what he could not accept the most!
Jacob was also a little unhappy. I am not your servant god, so why should I listen to you?
Besides, do you understand the situation? We are the ones beating you up now!
He originally wanted to slack off, but he simply put in some more effort so that he could get some more fragments of the divine nature for Levi.
When Ye Ge made this move, Qing Jia who was standing next to him couldn't help but be shocked.
Although he had known for a long time that Yege was a hidden talent, he still didn't expect that the other party would be so strong.
It's not about the level of divinity, but the control over the power of death, the affinity with the underworld, and so on.
To some extent, what Cyric just said was not wrong. Jergal could preside over this joint ceremony, trying to expel Cyric and strip him of his priesthood, but Kelemvor might not be able to do it, because this is a power related to the origin of death!
Levi, Anubis and others also began to exert their efforts.
It was agreed before that the spoils would be distributed according to each other's merits. Clemvor has already done so much just now. If I don't work harder, I'm afraid I won't have the face to ask for anything later.
At the same time, they had another idea. If they couldn't quickly increase their combat contribution ratio, they might as well increase the total amount of spoils.
As a being of level 15 godhood, Xirik's body has at least 225 godhood fragments. If we can keep all five combat incarnations of Xirik, we can at least get a dozen godhood fragments, right?
So, in just a few seconds, Xirik's ugliest combat incarnation was the first to disintegrate into a sky full of light spots, and two fragments of the godhead and three points of divinity were suspended in place.
Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, one incarnation after another shattered.
Only the incarnation that appeared first could last longer, probably because of his relatively strong strength and the sword of divine disaster in hand.
At the same time, several incarnations of Xirik who were trying their best to resist the siege of the gods in the kingdom of God were also implicated. They all shook their bodies and slowed down their movements a little bit, and then the gods took the opportunity to attack them fiercely and directly blew up one of the incarnations.
Then, Xirik's real body in the deepest part of the kingdom of God also let out a series of painful wails: "No, my priesthood, my baby, you can't leave me!"
But his wailing had no effect. Through some mysterious special rules that even exceeded the imagination of most gods, the two priesthoods of death and the dead were directly stripped from his body and teleported to the underworld, and to Levi and the others.
When they saw the two priests, Anubis, Arthas, and Black Dog couldn't help but show desire on their faces.
In fact, they are not orthodox gods of death, but gods related to death. However, if you can possess one of them, you can be called a real god of death.
If it's both, Kelemvor is the best example!
In comparison, the remaining Levi and Qingjia were much calmer, because they already had these two priesthoods, and obtaining the priesthoods repeatedly would not greatly improve their strength.
They are all thinking about the same question now: how much does Jergal know about the origin of death?
Although there are many external reasons today, if even Xirik, who may step into powerful divine power at any time, has almost no ability to fight back and was deprived of his priesthood of death and the dead by Yager, if it were me, how long could I last?
However, Levi quickly put aside this doubt. For him, it was still too early to consider the origin of death. At least he had to obtain powerful divine power.
This is also the reason why even though he became the lord of Mount Heaven, he never tried to obtain the source of light.
If you are not strong enough, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. Once you are strong enough, you will naturally begin to come into contact with the power of origin.
With the care that Tiantangshan has taken for him, I'm afraid that by then he won't have to put in much effort, and Tiantangshan will take the initiative to reveal these secrets to him.
What Levi needs to do now is to try to attack the last incarnation of Xirik left in the underworld. If he destroys the sword of disaster in his hand, will it be considered as killing Mask once?
Mask is just a weak divine power of Godhead 5. Killing one of his combat incarnations should be equivalent to causing 10% damage to his original body, right?
Anubis was naturally the first one to choose to follow, and now he and Levi are highly bound together.
Although he didn't understand why Levi was so eager to take the risk, Qingjia also wanted to go along. Shenzhu was still sleeping on Tiantang Mountain. There would be no harm in improving the relationship with Levi before she really woke up.
But when he looked up, he saw that Yager, who had just impressed him, had also set off, and seemed very eager.
Qingjia was stunned for a moment, and then filled with deep doubts.
With Yager's power, how could he treat Levi in such a way? What on earth happened?
Similarly, on the outskirts of Xirik's kingdom, many gods who heard Xirik's wailing could not help but look at each other, wondering what had happened.
It’s not that they didn’t hear it clearly, but most of them just couldn’t believe it for a moment.
They have always believed that only by killing a designated god could they obtain his priesthood, but now it seems that there is another way?
Only the more ancient gods like Tempus could vaguely guess that some of Jergal's power was involved.
As the strongest god of death in the past, even though he has been in seclusion for many years, they still dare not underestimate him.
It seems that this time Xirik has really gone too far, and even Yager, who usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, can't tolerate him.
But they soon put these thoughts behind them. It didn't matter anymore. What was really important was that they should take the opportunity to kill Xirik, the madman and idiot!
Xirik also realized that he was now in a life-and-death crisis, and he tried to seek help from his only secret ally, the God of Thieves, Mask.
While he began to rapidly cut into his own kingdom of God, he even extracted the life and soul power of many petitioners to create more protective shields to protect the core part of the kingdom of God.
Even if this will cause their souls to be permanently scattered, it is worth it. Even if he loses these two priesthoods, as long as the core parts are not lost, he still has a chance to make a comeback!
Even in this short period of time, he has come up with more than one new plan.
The reason why he was in such a situation today was entirely because there were too many of these false gods and he was outnumbered.
If he could find a way to make those false gods his helpers, could he change this situation?
But the gods who were hostile to him soon discovered Cyric's intentions.
"Xirik is going to run away!"
"We must not let him get away!"
"Solves this scourge once and for all!"
As the gods expressed their views, their attacks became more fierce. At the same time, Cyric also received news from Mask, the god of thieves, that he could not come to help.
Because Mask's kingdom has been blocked by several gods such as Waukeen and Helm, and he cannot get out for the time being, Mask wants Cyric to hold on a little longer and do something after he repels the enemy.
But Xirik didn't believe it at all. Mask's kingdom of God was in the shadow world. If he was not a god who controlled the darkness or shadow fields, he would be greatly weakened in that special plane. It was even possible that his kingdom of God could not be found.
Neither Waukeen nor Helm have any relevant abilities at all, so how can they pose a threat to Mask?
When Mask defeats his enemies, isn't it all up to him?
Xirik immediately thought that Mask had betrayed him, so he started to curse: "Mask, you bastard who didn't help me when I was dying, our alliance ends here!"
As soon as these words came out, some gods present who had not been aware of the situation before couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. So these two guys were allies?
In this way, many things in the past can be explained. A large part of the bad things that Xirik did was due to Mask.
Even though the alliance between you two has been broken, our revenge will not stop there, and Mask will also be punished!
Mask naturally cursed inwardly, he had indeed taken advantage of Xirik by hanging out with him.
Because Xirik has a characteristic, that is, he is not very interested in money and treasures. Those things all go to him, the God of Thieves, and the Thieves Guild under his command.
But he also offended many gods because of this.
Originally, because it was an underground alliance and Xirik took the blame, the situation was not bad, but now that the idiot Xirik has directly exposed it, the number of their enemies will increase many times in an instant!
On the other hand, after stripping away Xirik's two priesthoods and baptizing Xirik's territory in the underworld again, the invisible waves finally calmed down gradually, and the binding force on Xirik's incarnation began to decline rapidly.
Cyric's last combat incarnation finally regained his freedom, but not only had he lost most of his divine power, he would also face the siege of 10 incarnations of Kelemvor!
Although he tried his best and even drew power from the Divine Disaster Sword, he was seriously injured after only three or two moves.
Even because his divine power was so greatly depleted, even though his left arm was completely cut off, his right foot was missing, and his entire body was covered with scars, he simply did not have enough divine power to repair them.
The incarnations of the gods are all energy bodies condensed from divine power. Unless the divine power is exhausted, it is almost impossible for obvious scars to appear. Now Xirik's appearance shows that he is really at the end of his rope.
But he refused to admit defeat: "Kelemvor, you pedantic hypocrite, even if you defeat the great Cyric, that bitch Mystra will never look down on you!"
This sentence immediately made Kelanwo very angry. Mistra and I were doing well. If you hadn't interfered and spread all kinds of lies, would we have become like this?
However, Clemvor did not choose to curse back. It had little to do with his quality, but mainly because of his promise to Levi.
He is now certain that the Divine Sword is indeed Mask's combat incarnation, not a projection of a divine weapon.
After Xirik's previous struggle, the Sword of Divine Disaster is now at its weakest time in history, and he wants to leave the chance for the final blow to Levi.
After Levi kills the Divine Disaster Sword, Xirik will also die. What's the point of talking to a dying guy?
Just as Xirik was wondering and looking for a possible opportunity to escape, Levi and the others arrived.
Kelemvor heaved a sigh of relief and made a small hole in the encirclement: "Your Highness Osiris, it's time to fulfill my promise to you."
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness Kelanvor!"
Levi, who had already released the extraordinary divine power shield in advance, began to condense the divine power shock wave.
Come to think of it, this should be his first time to fight directly against other gods as a god, right?
Normally, such things would be written into the epic legends of the church for priests to use to spread faith and publicize God's glorious achievements.
Unfortunately, even though Xirik has a high level of godhood, he is still not a decent guy...
Fortunately, Xirik was not his real target this time, but the Sword of Divine Disaster in his hand!
Levi's eyes widened and two golden rays flew out. At first glance, they seemed to be heading towards Xirik's chest, but in fact, they were the Divine Disaster Sword in his hand.
Xirik, who was just jumping on one leg, was surprisingly quite agile, and this attack did not give Levi the effect he wanted.
Anubis, who had received Levi's instructions, also launched an attack.
On the surface, it seems that he is helping Levi, but in fact, Levi also wants Anubis to show more, so that it will be convenient for him to speak up when dividing the spoils later.
Kelemvor was naturally well aware of this, but he did not care. His godhood level was as high as 18. Even if he obtained 10 or 20 more godhood fragments, it would not be enough to further improve his godhood level, let alone significantly increase his strength.
In fact, after reaching the powerful 16th level of divine power, the importance of the godhood level began to decline rapidly. The priesthood, domain, and control over the original power became more important things.
Especially the final source of power, he has been working hard, but unfortunately even though he is a powerful god, it is not that easy. After working hard for so long, I am afraid that it is less than one-tenth of Jeger's.
But seeing this, Xirik, who was originally confused, almost got angry:
"Damn you, Kelemvor, and you, the imposter, what do you think of the great Supreme Lord - Cyric? A wild monster hunted by adventurers?"
No one knew whether he was really mad or had other plans. In any case, in full view of everyone, Xirik actually infused extra divine power from the Kingdom of God into this incarnation, and it even had enough power to repair his own wounds.
Seeing this, Yager behind him knew that he had to take action. If this combat incarnation of Cyric recovered to his prime, Levi and Anubis combined would not be his opponent. There was still a big gap in the level of godhood.
"That's enough, Xirik. Now that things have come to this, can't you let yourself have a decent ending?"
Yager's move was naturally extraordinary. He directly cut off the supply of Cyric's divine power. Now that Cyric was no longer a member of the God of Death, how could the underworld allow him to come and go freely?
"Ah, it's you. I knew it was you, old man, who did this!"
Xirik became more and more angry, but this was not enough to change his current situation. With one leg and one arm, and his ability to teleport blocked by Kelemvor's ten combat incarnations, he was a sitting duck.
Especially since Yager seemed to have been angered by him and joined the attack, almost in the blink of an eye, the divine power that Xirik had just replenished quickly ran out, and more wounds began to appear on his body.
Seeing this, Kelemvor and Qingjia became more certain. Although they didn't know why, Yager must have something to ask of Levi, because in this battle, he was actually assisting as a deputy.
Whether it was Arthas and the Black Dog, or Nisu and Dumathoin, they all felt a little weird for a moment.
They had already fully felt the power of Jergal when they had just deprived Cyric of his priesthood. Now that Jergal was in this attitude, they had no choice but to think more.
After several rounds of fighting, Levi finally seized an opportunity and successfully hit the Divine Disaster Sword with a divine power shock wave.
There was a slight "click" sound, and some cracks suddenly appeared on the Divine Disaster Sword.
Xirik suddenly felt a little heartbroken and surprised at the same time. After all, it was a divine weapon. Even if most of its power had been drained away by him, it couldn't be beaten into this state by an extraordinary divine power, right?
But before he had time to think carefully, Levi's next extraordinary divine power had arrived. In terms of the level of divinity alone, his divine power was indeed not high, but because he had the power of faith accumulated by the three major celestial clans for countless years as a backing, his divine power was still very abundant!
Xirik subconsciously wanted to dodge, but something unexpected happened. His Divine Disaster Sword actually flew out of his hand by itself, as if he also wanted to escape!
Could it be that the Divine Disaster Sword has also gained independent self-awareness?
As soon as this thought came to Xirik's mind, he watched the Divine Disaster Sword transform into a familiar figure...
His eyes were bloodshot immediately: "Damn it, Mask, you son of a bitch!"
If the Sword of Divine Disaster was an incarnation of Mask from the very beginning, then wouldn't many of my secrets have already been mastered by Mask?
How much do I have left to hide? The Sword of Divine Disaster has been with me for more than a year or two!
In an instant, a series of complex emotions such as anger, fear, and shame rose from the bottom of Cyric's heart, and the hatred for Mask in his heart soared instantly, almost second only to Kelemvor and Mystra.
But before Xirik could take further action, Levi's second wave of attack had arrived, and the divine power shock wave accurately hit Mask's body.
Since the difference in power between the two sides was not that big, and Mask had transformed into the Divine Disaster Sword and had gone through a hard battle, his divine power had been consumed a lot, and he no longer had much divine power left.
So before he could even utter a harsh word, Mask's incarnation was shattered on the spot into a sky full of light spots, leaving only two crystal fragments of the godhead and a few points of divinity.
Seeing this, Xirik no longer had any hope in his heart. Even if the artifact had its own intelligence and could transform into a human form, after it was blown up, no fragments of the divinity would remain.
He was suddenly filled with grief and indignation: "Ah, Mask, Kelemvor, and Levi, you false gods, all deserve to die!"
While screaming, Xirik rushed straight towards Levi.
Levi remained extremely vigilant at first, but he soon discovered that Xirik seemed to have gone completely crazy.
Missing limbs and without even a weapon, he was already in the weakest condition. Yet he did not use any of his extraordinary powers. He just hopped on one leg and attacked with his remaining hand.
Needless to say, the appearance is extremely funny. Isn't this just to commit suicide?
Levi naturally wouldn't be polite. He brought Anubis with him and launched a series of fierce bombardments. After a few moves, he successfully killed Xirik's last incarnation in the underworld.
Just before he died, Levi seemed to vaguely see a trace of relief on Xirik's face...
He immediately felt something was strange. What secret did Mask know that could make the notoriously shameless Xirik become like this?
