Volume 4 Chapter 617: Instant Foolish God
Following Rose's slightly shrill howl, a drow elf with a beautiful face, but a distorted expression full of hatred, appeared in front of the gods who had just come to help.
It is worth mentioning that, similar to Eilistraee, she does not have any clothes on her body. Instead, there are countless black widow spiders of different sizes. They look very disgusting, and people with trypophobia may be scared to death if they see them.
But now no one would care about this, because Rose raised her hand and a series of extraordinary divine powers were indiscriminately bombarded at the gods who had just arrived.
More importantly, the surging fluctuations of divine power showed that Rose this time seemed to be her true form, with a powerful divine power of up to level 16!
And her target was very clear, it was Ersun and Bast, the only two who fought in their true form.
No matter which one of the two is killed, Rose can be considered to have made a profit this time. If she can get a double kill, it doesn't matter even if Silentam dies here!
Amid Rose's slightly crazy laughter, she swept through all the gods with her absolutely overwhelming strength. For a moment, the sky was full of stars, which were the divine power that dissipated due to the injuries of the gods.
But Levi and Lilith couldn't help but smile. They had certainly considered the possibility that Rose would fight in her real body, but despite this, they still let Ersun and Bast fight. Of course, it was because they were also prepared!
Without any warning, a super-giant tornado that stretched from sky to earth and was extremely vast arrived, as if it had always been there.
At the critical moment, Rose let out a short scream: "Arkadi, why is it you? I have no grudge against you!"
Even someone as crazy as Rose would be cautious and fearful, knowing that there are some beings she cannot mess with. Her madness is always limited to a certain range.
Therefore, she had not had much interaction with Mystra, Kelemvor, the Dragon God couple of Zhendan, the four elemental gods, etc. in the past, so she had never expected that the real body of the Wind God - Arcadia would appear here and launch a sneak attack on her.
But she soon realized that she might be implicated by the green-skinned gods and Grumba!
While screaming, Rose also tried to escape immediately.
But it was too late. Cyric, Mask and others were all recognized as the fastest among the gods. But compared with the wind god Arcades, the speed they were proud of would become insignificant!
So, in full view of everyone, no matter how Rose roared, howled, struggled, or even surrendered, it was of no use. The howling gale always confined her in the middle, constantly cutting her body, while the fluctuations of Rose's divine power became weaker and weaker.
Levi and Lilith beside them both realized that this might not be any extraordinary divine power, but simply based on the use of the origin of wind. Therefore, even though they both had powerful divine power, Rose had almost no ability to fight back.
Even after Rose was promoted to a powerful god, she might start to involve the power of origin, but firstly, the time was relatively short, and secondly, her choices were very narrow.
It is nothing more than chaos, evil or darkness, and these three original forces have already had countless competitors. Powerful beings such as Bane, Talos and Shar are not something that Rose can easily compete with.
Although the gods were shocked to see Rose end up like this, it was barely understandable. After all, Rose's opponent was Arcades.
But Silvtam and Nagash next to them were dumbfounded. No matter how much they thought about Rose in their hearts, there was one thing they understood very well, that was that Rose was extremely powerful, so they would side with Rose.
Especially after planning the recent series of conspiracies, Rose has become even more powerful.
But they never expected that Rose's first real battle after being promoted to a powerful god would be such a scene!
In contrast, the morale of the gods on Mount Paradise was greatly boosted, especially Bastet.
Ersun took the initiative to request to go to war, but she was asked to go to war by Levi.
When she learned that her opponent was Rose, one can imagine the fear in her heart. The Queen Spider's notoriety is much higher than Shar's. Especially since Levi had already made it clear that she would become a bait, she became even more afraid.
But now she was completely relieved. With the help of the wind god Arkadi, Rose had nothing to fear. Their coalition was too strong!
So the gods, with their morale boosted, instantly submerged Xiventam's body, leaving him no room to struggle. Xiventam then exploded with several fragments of his godhood and priesthood.
In addition to the drow warriors he possessed, there was also a fragment of a rebel's priesthood.
Seeing this, more than one god understood that this must be because Rose gave Silvetarm a little sweet treat after killing the god of slime monsters, Ghaunadaur. No wonder he fought so hard just now.
Unfortunately, before he could truly enjoy the fruits of victory, his own side took advantage of it.
Rebel is not a good priesthood, but Set of the Egyptian pantheon should be willing to pay a certain price to get it, because there are some obvious connections between Set's betrayal and rebels.
Drow warriors can be handed over to Eilistraee in exchange for some knowledge of the field.
The corpse of the dragon god controlled by Nagash was the second sacrifice. Normally, because the dragon gods are more powerful, their combat effectiveness is often better than that of ordinary humans or elven gods when their divinity levels are the same.
Unfortunately, the corpse of the Dragon God was only a demigod, and it was completely killed in just a few breaths.
But Nagash next to him was still trying to maintain his composure, not only because he had clearly discovered that the space nearby was completely locked and there was no way he could escape successfully.
It was also because he had died several times and had certain experience in this regard. Moreover, as a dragon lich, he was not particularly afraid of death.
So he just glared at Levi fiercely: "Don't think this matter will end here, I will definitely come back to find you and take back everything that once belonged to me!"
Levi didn't say much. He just took the time to throw out a move of extraordinary power - Hand of Death, and sent the other party away with a smile.
Nagash was still too arrogant. Apart from the fact that he taught the Egyptian gods a painful lesson during the brief period of weakness after the war between the Egyptian pantheon and the greenskin pantheon, his subsequent resurrections failed to really cause much waves.
On the contrary, with the continuous deaths, his soul became weaker and weaker, and his talent in magic and wisdom also declined significantly time and time again.
This time, with the help of the Dragon God's relics and Rose's power, Nagash created the Dragon Madness Mystique, which brought a lot of disasters to the dragons and creatures with dragon blood in the main world.
But in reality, it is just that. If I can kill him once, I can kill him countless times!
Then when Levi saw the fragments of the priesthood left behind by Nagash after his death, his expression became a little strange. It seemed that it was not entirely Nagash's own fault?
The priesthood fragments - knowledge and the priesthood fragments - death should have come from the corpse of the dragon god, but there is also a very special priesthood fragment - the stupidity of excessive self-conceit and arrogant ambition.
This special priesthood with a very long and difficult name belongs to only one god, that is Karsus, who once ascended to godhood with the magic of Karsus, briefly replaced the first generation of magic goddess, and soon exploded and died due to being overwhelmed, thus becoming famous throughout the world.
Karsus is indeed a rare genius, perhaps even better than Nagash, because he truly ascended to godhood by his own strength as a mortal, and at the moment of his ascension to godhood, he condensed the priesthood with that extremely long name.
Then he was given the title of Momentary Foolish God, because he was only a god for a moment and he was stupid enough.
Levi originally thought that Nagash was resurrected after obtaining the corpse of the Dragon God, but now it seems that he might have obtained the relics of the Instantaneous God of Foolishness.
In this way, any stupid action taken by Nagash becomes very reasonable.
The gods, camps and priesthoods influence each other. With Nagash's current demigod power, he is of course more influenced by the priesthood, and this priesthood really matches him very well.
Levi even had an impulse at this moment. He wanted to find Nagash again and give the fragment of the priesthood to him for free!
If Cyric were still alive, Levi might not be so sure, but Cyric is dead, and only Nagash can take on this responsibility!
Levi even had an idea that after finding Nagash, he might not have to kill him all at once, but could just treat Nagash as an experience baby.
Nagash has a low EQ, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a genius. Levi has not yet mastered his method of turning demons into undead.
Maybe I could beat Nagash a few more times, force him to research more things, and then take them all away from me.
As for the fragments of the two priesthoods of knowledge and death, there was no need to bother Nagash anymore. Levi accepted them with a smile.
After Nagash's death, the Necrontyr demons under his command were killed in large numbers by the gods like fallen leaves swept away by autumn wind.
Then some relatively powerful gods such as Ersun went to assist Lilith and Moonbow to deal with the incarnation of Rose.
Judging from the current situation, their victory is unquestionable, so what they have to do is to expand the results of the battle as much as possible and prevent Rose's incarnation from escaping.
Donna, Penthesilea and others joined Levi in dealing with the Elf Devourer.
Then after a few rounds, they found out helplessly that they really seemed to have no way to deal with each other.
Although the Elf Devourer has strong defense, it is not invincible and they can all cause certain damage to it.
The Elf Devourer can eat all of Seleket's toxins, etc., and it also has a slight weakness to fire. Its legs, tentacles and mouth are all flammable.
But it is immune to fear, charm, immobilization, illusion and instant death magic, and its upper limit of health and recovery ability are so strong that even the gods find it outrageous.
Ordinary tier 7 soldiers usually have several thousand hit points. A notoriously thick-skinned fellow like Nurgle's Great Unclean One may have around 10,000 hit points.
The incarnations of the gods are much stronger . Depending on the level of their divinity, they can basically have health points ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or millions.
The overwhelming advantage in health points alone makes it almost impossible for ordinary creatures to kill gods.
Of course, the attack power of the gods is also very exaggerated. Unless they are special meat shield-type beings like the scarab god - Khepri, most gods are strong in offense but weak in defense.
But the health points of all the above-mentioned beings are still far, far behind that of the Elf Devourer.
If this guy wasn't so stupid, with such poor speed and flexibility, and whose only long-range attack was to use its tentacles ranging from a few hundred meters to a thousand meters, Donna would have felt desperate.
After launching another wave of attacks, Donna finally couldn't help but start complaining: "Levi, how much health does this guy have? I have already caused hundreds of thousands of damage myself!"
After taking a look at the battle between Arkadi and Rose, Levi responded with a smile: "This is an ancient evil creature that has troubled the elven gods for thousands of years. Of course it is not easy to deal with. Moreover, it has a certain degree of adaptability and growth. After each battle, it will become more resilient."
"Well, Her Highness Adli, the patron goddess of the Winged Elves, once said that when it last fought Corellon, it had about 21.6 million health points at its peak."
Before, Levi was worried that the elf devourers who began to devour the Ai Ci Tian tribe might have a significant increase in strength.
But actual combat proved that he was worrying too much. Apart from a higher resistance to divine power and the ability to speed up recovery by devouring the Aicitian Clan, this guy did not gain any more abilities.
But this level alone was not enough to save it from Levi's hands.
The body of the Elf Devourer is immune to instant death attacks, but its tentacles are not. Levi can reduce its upper limit of health by continuously destroying its tentacles, and then use a wave of powerful attacks to end the opponent's life.
In fact, this is how the elven gods dealt with it in the past, but because there were no powerful death gods among the elven gods, they could only rely on Corellon and other gods to slowly grind it down.
Hearing this, the gods couldn't help but be amazed. Apart from the gods, there probably wasn't another guy in the world who was as tough as the Elf Devourer.
What's more important is that even if you repel such an enemy, there is no benefit. The enemy will only have a ten-year recovery at most and then become full of energy again. This is really disgusting.
Once it invades the main world, if the gods do not take action, it is really possible for it to destroy the entire world on its own.
Fortunately, it is really stupid, and its attack method is very monotonous. To the gods, it is just a simple resistant beast. It is a trouble but not a particularly big threat.
At this moment, two distinctive screams were heard. They were from Rose's real body and her incarnation. At the same time, her incarnation was like crazy, resisting the joint attack of Lilith and Moon Bow, and rushing towards the direction of her real body.
But at the critical moment, Ersun took the initiative to stand up. He knew that apart from his godhood level, he did not have much advantage in Mount Heaven.
So he needs to prove himself at this critical moment. As long as Levi needs it, he really dares to fight a tough battle with his own life!
Then Eilistraee also stood up bravely. In fact, she had never thought of betraying Corellon or the elven pantheon, but she was set up by Rose and used.
Even though Corellon and other gods later said that she and Lolth were not one and the same, and that Lolth's sins should not be borne by her, she still voluntarily chose to be demoted and embarked on the path of causing trouble for Lolth.
Even though Rose was her mother, she definitely wanted Rose to die the most!
With Ursun and Eilistraee delayed, the other gods also rushed forward. Although they were no match for Rose individually and might not even be able to withstand a few moves, they would be a formidable force when they joined forces.
In addition, Lilith and Yuebow also caught up again, so soon this incarnation of Rose was surrounded again, and this time, she would not have any chance of escape.
At the same time, on the other side, after an unprecedented shrill howl, there was a loud bang. Rose, who was trapped by Arkadi, could no longer withstand such a strong attack and was scattered into crystal light all over the sky.
As a powerful deity with a godhood of level 16, her original body would have at least 256 fragments of the godhood. Even if she possessed the kingdom of God and other incarnations, the death of her original body would not cause her to lose everything. However, her death was truly an unprecedented super explosion, with at least more than a hundred fragments of the godhood.
The Twilight Knight killed by Rose was of godhood 6, and the God of Ooze was of godhood 8. Rose could harvest hundreds of godhood fragments from just these two. Adding Rose's own, this number is not incomprehensible.
For a moment, not only Bast and other poor gods were jealous, even Yuegong and Lilith's breathing became a little rapid.
Moreover, several sharp-eyed gods also noticed that in addition to the four fragments of the priesthood of darkness, assassin, spider and evil that Rose herself possessed, there were several complete priesthoods nearby.
The racial priesthood of the God of Slime - Slime, as well as light, starlight and twilight, they were all the priesthoods that the Twilight Knight possessed during his lifetime, which is why he was called the Twilight Knight and the Prince of Stars.
Next to it is a residence surrounded by floating shining stars. It is the famous artifact of the Twilight Knight - the Starry Mansion.
In addition to having all the functions of a mansion, it is also a special artifact. Once used, it can float above the head and provide multiple protections for the user.
It was with this power that the Twilight Knight was able to defeat Rose's incarnation with his true form in a one-on-one duel.
Unfortunately, when he was bewitched by the Cyric Scripture, Rose obviously would not give him the opportunity to use this artifact, which led to his defeat and death in the end.
Although the spoils were beyond imagination, the gods did not take any action for a while, because they all knew that the reason why this war could achieve such results was based on the plan formulated by Levi, the fighting skills of Lilith, Moon Bow and the gods, but the most important thing was the power of the wind god - Arkadi.
Without her help, it would have been almost impossible for our team to defeat Rose, let alone obtain so many spoils.
What they need to do now is to take advantage of the opportunity to blow up Rose's other incarnation!
"Ahhh, damn Lilith, damn Levi, I curse you both, I will definitely take revenge!"
Rose was really going crazy this time. She had been planning for so long and finally got promoted to a powerful divine power. However, she didn't even have a day to be happy before her body was blown up. Not only could she not maintain her powerful divine power, she might even have to regress!
And now that Arcade has appeared, the affairs within the Star King's Court and the battle in the Kingdom of Avandor will inevitably undergo major changes.
Whether it is the furious gods lurking in the dark, such as Talos, the green-skinned gods led by Gruumsh, or other demon gods, none of them would risk fighting Arcades. They do not have the courage.
Does this mean that she planned for so long, but in the end she only killed a few insignificant minor gods?
Lilith snorted coldly and didn't reply, but just intensified her attack.
Yue Gong was also a little dissatisfied. It would be fine if you didn't mention Arkadi, everyone could understand that you were really afraid of her, but you mentioned Levi but not me, what did that mean?
Does he simply look down on me, or is he trying to sow discord between us?
No matter which possibility it was, it gave her enough reason to beat Rose up.
In contrast, Eilistraee was much more straightforward. She started to curse directly: "Rose, you idiot, you brought this upon yourself!"
Rose was already in a state of panic, and after being mocked by Eilistraee, her mentality collapsed instantly. She gave up all her defense and rushed over: "Damn Eilistraee, I'm going to kill you now!"
Of course, Rose's wish was impossible to achieve. Eilistraee had fought with her for so many years and was already familiar with many of her tactics. In addition, she had so many allies to help her, so after just a few rounds, this incarnation of Rose was defeated.
But before she died, Rose's face showed no fear or resentment. Instead, she revealed a rather strange smile: "Even if you kill me, it will be too late for you to stop that thing!"
This sentence made many uninformed gods feel puzzled, but it also made Lilith and Yuegong feel depressed. The reason they came here was not only for the Ai Ci Tian Clan, but also for Corellon.
Now it seems that it is still a step too late?
But they said nothing, and just worked together with the rest of the gods to deal with the Elf Devourer.
The damage caused by so many gods joining forces has far exceeded the Elf Devourer's tolerance limit.
At this time, the tornado that reached the sky and the earth had shrunk into a female giant with green wings and a blue translucent body. It could be seen that she had spent some effort to kill Rose, after all, she was a powerful being with divine power.
Lilith smiled sweetly first: "Sister Arkady, thank you so much this time~"
Levi, Yuegong and other gods also followed suit and saluted: "Meet the Goddess of Wind."
Arkady nodded slightly to Yuegong and Levi, then smiled at Lilith: "This is what I promised you, but do you still need me to help you in the interior of the Star King's Court?"
The four elemental gods' only enemies have always been each other.
Just as water and fire cannot coexist, the lightness of wind and the heaviness of earth cannot coexist.
And because they both know that it is almost impossible to completely destroy each other, they may show up in order to find ways to weaken each other's strength, or just to beat each other up to vent their anger.
So when Lilith told him the whereabouts of Gulemba's incarnation, and considering the friendship they had built up over the years, Arkadi decided to help.
As for whether she and Rose had any grudges before, it didn’t matter at all, because she didn’t care about what Rose thought!
However, she had a little surprise when she came this time. Is Levi, the lord of Mount Paradise and the god of death in the underworld, the successor chosen by Jergal?
As for the other gods present, Arcadi had no intention of paying any attention to them.
Although in theory, as the pinnacle of racial evolution, all gods are equal and there is no distinction between high and low, but that is only in theory.
As the most powerful elemental god, minor gods like Bast are no different from ordinary beings in Arkadi's eyes.
None of the gods present were dissatisfied with this. Instead, they all felt it was natural and even felt honored.
Because in the countless years in the past, Arkadi has been traveling among the worlds, and she has only appeared in public twice in history. Now they are witnessing the third time!
Lilith glanced at Levi, and after seeing that he also agreed, she nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Arkady!"
With a wave of her hand, she displayed all the priesthoods and fragments of godhood obtained in this battle in front of Arkadi, ready for him to choose.
But Arkady didn't even look at it: "Forget it this time."
As the strongest elemental god, she had long lost interest in other things besides improving her power in the origin of wind, seeking the true path to transcendence, and occasionally beating Gulumba for fun.
Even though these things were enough to create an 11th-level god with medium-level divine power capable of multiple priesthoods, they were still irrelevant to her.
Lilith's smile suddenly became even sweeter: "Thank you, Sister Arkady. Don't worry, I will definitely continue to help you keep an eye on Gu Lanba's little tricks in the future!"
