Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 63: Grudges
The elf's words made Marvin's heart beat fast.
To be honest, his current strength growth has indeed entered a bottleneck period.
And in the foreseeable future, he will inevitably encounter a bottleneck that all strong human beings will face.
Maximum level: 30.
30 is a very mysterious number in Fenan. Thirty points of attribute is the agility of God, and more than thirty points is the realm of God, which is difficult for mortals to touch.
Of course, a strong person like a plane guardian would definitely exceed this data.
Level 30, which is the 10th level of a legendary profession, is also a huge bottleneck.
Generally speaking, the legendary profession of a strong human being is at most level 9.
Level 29 is a natural barrier that few people have ever been able to cross, even those wise and legendary wizards.
As powerful as the Elf King is, his own wizard level is only 28. He just found a unique way to obtain dual professions and also raised his ranger level to 21, so he forcibly broke through the total level limit of 30.
It is almost impossible for a human being to have two professions. It is possible for a long-lived race like the elves to achieve it, but it also takes a long time and effort.
Besides, Marvin didn’t know how to have two professions.
He is now a level 21 Lord of the Night. Although he is still far from reaching the bottleneck, he will have to face it sooner or later.
Most people choose to become a god.
In an age when it was impossible to become a god, there were so many amazing and legendary strong men who, just because they failed to take that step, could only remain legends for the rest of their lives.
The world above the legend is still a mystery to the world.
The same thing goes for Marvin.
In his previous life, he chose to become a god, but in this life, he chose to take another path.
This is destined to be a road full of thorns, so he needs to seize every possibility to improve himself.
Even if such an action may get you into big trouble.
"Anyway, Tithomas... no, Hartson already hates me to the core, so it won't matter if I increase my hatred points a little more."
Marvin thought about it with self-mockery in his heart, and finally agreed to the elf's request.
The latter's request was simple, which was to let Marvin take the crystal statue away.
Moreover, he vowed never to open the seal of the statue, because once the seal was opened, the power inside might automatically escape and return to Hartson's body.
By then, the already extremely powerful Evil Spirit Lord will become even more powerful, and there will probably not be many people in this universe who can be his opponent.
The elf also emphasized that Marvin couldn't trust anyone.
This means that he must carry the crystal statue on his back at all times.
This also means that he will completely become the mortal enemy of the terrifying Dragon God in the evil spirit world.
But Marvin had no choice.
The conditions offered by the elf were too tempting.
…
"I'm glad you made this choice."
The elf calmly handed the crystal statue to Marvin and said, "I hope you can protect it. Then my mission will be accomplished."
Marvin carefully hid the statue, but why did the elf's tone sound a little wrong?
It seems like he is leaving his last words.
As expected, the little guy continued, "This seal and I live and die together."
"I was born because of this seal, and my death will come with the disappearance of this seal. Protecting it is my mission."
"Lord Lance brought me into this world. I am already very grateful to him. It is my honor to do such a good thing for him."
"As for you, if you violate the oath you made in the name of the God of Wizards, you will encounter the horrific fire of divine punishment—even if you transform yourself into an evil spirit, you will not be able to escape the punishment."
"Yes, the advanced virtual godhood is for you!"
The next second, a strange hexagram-shaped, translucent object emerged from the elf's body and automatically drilled into Marvin's forehead.
Marvin was stunned:
"Is this high-level virtual godhood yours?"
The elf said as a matter of course: "Nonsense, otherwise how can I protect this seal?"
"I have been cultivating this high-level virtual godhead for many years. Unfortunately, after giving it to you, you have to cultivate it again."
nourish?
Can virtual godhood be cultivated?
Marvin actually knew nothing about the virtual godhead.
The data panel only showed a few lines of text:
[You have received the gift of the light elves (high-level virtual godhood)]
[Higher virtual godhood has a higher priority and automatically replaces the original primary virtual godhood]
[Virtual Godhead (High): 5/30 (Divinity)]
…
The benefits of a higher virtual godhead are obvious. First, it can accommodate more divinity.
But Marvin only had a vague understanding of the role of divinity, so while there was still some time, he quickly asked the elf some necessary questions.
Five minutes later, he left there.
Behind the transparent door, countless evil spirits have gathered and are frantically tearing off the seal of the door.
Leading among them was the completely corrupted green dragon Morgana.
She could no longer be described as a green dragon. All the scales on her body had long since fallen off. She looked like a fusion of a bone dragon and algae, disgusting and terrifying.
Her mind was also completely controlled by Hartson, and she turned into a complete evil dragon.
The elf returned to the stone wall peacefully.
In addition to telling Marvin some matters about the virtual godhood, he also told Marvin a way to break through the bottleneck of the human body.
However , this method has very harsh conditions, and Marvin couldn't help but frown when he heard it.
But he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things.
Since the whole thing is a huge conspiracy, the other five-colored dragons have most likely also suffered from Hartson's hands.
Maybe a fallen evil dragon is heading this way right now, so it’s better for me to leave first.
…
In the low valley.
The atmosphere became extremely depressing.
The painful wails continued to ring in Earl's ears, and the ancient red dragon that ravaged Fenan felt fear for the first time.
The middle-aged man in front of him put too much pressure on him.
His strength is indeed extremely powerful, but compared with the ancient dragon god, it is still nothing.
What's more, although Hartson was deprived of part of his divine origin, he still possessed the strength to be the second best among the evil spirit lords.
Even among the main gods of the heavenly kingdom, few can be his rivals.
What’s more, there is the ancient red dragon that even the plane guardian cannot reach.
He tried to escape.
As a result, it was scratched off by the Dragon God's claw.
Earl was desperate.
Obviously, this is an outer world. Then the one coming must be Hartson's real body.
If it was a clone, he still had hope of escape, but if it was the real person, he could almost foresee his tragic fate.
But the red dragon is also very violent.
As a strong man, he still has his own dignity.
Earl roared wildly: "Is this how you treat your offspring?"
"Lies and deception? Let them corrupt themselves? In order to survive, you have violated the laws of your own gods."
"You are not worthy of calling yourself Dragon God."
Hartson remained unmoved and continued to smile: "Indeed, I am not the Dragon God Hartson now. I am the Evil Spirit Lord Tithomas."
Earl roared, revealing his true form.
The huge body was about to break the valley into pieces, so Hartson opened his arms and grabbed the empty air.
The red dragon's body shrank instantly and became very tiny.
"You are a cowardly wimp!"
Earl continued to shout, "You changed your name in an attempt to escape the punishment of the Wizard God. You have no courage. Your courage does not match your strength!"
Hartson's eyes grew colder. "That's because you have never experienced the power of the Wizard God, you ignorant little dragon."
"My patience is limited. I am more lenient with you because of your outstanding performance, not because I have mercy on you."
"If you dare to disobey me again, I will make you become like them!"
Earl screamed, his huge dragon eyes filled with fear.
A low dragon roar came from above the valley!
They were rotten white and blue dragons. Their eyes had lost their luster and they were flying at a low altitude, dropping rotten flesh as they flew.
They have a powerful force in their bodies, but this force comes from the negative energy of the evil spirit world!
The so-called Rainbow Spring actually communicates with the sea of evil spirits!
"You two, go get what belongs to me."
Hartson ordered expressionlessly, "You can sense its location . It is in this world, somewhere I cannot approach."
The two evil dragons roared and immediately flew away from the sky.
Hutson's eyes returned to Earl.
You can see that he is a little impatient.
Earl's painful struggle was of no avail, and finally, he rushed towards Hutson in anger!
The latter was unmoved. The next second, the water in the "Rainbow Spring" gushed out and rushed towards Earl like a fountain.
Just as the ancient red dragon was about to be enveloped by the spring water and forcibly transformed into an evil dragon, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly descended.
Along with this force, the water of Rainbow Spring was forcibly solidified in mid-air.
It was like a rising sun, illuminating the entire earth.
At this moment, even the Dragon God Hartson couldn't help but be moved.
He didn't even have time to worry about Earl.
The ancient red dragon seized this opportunity, swept its tail fiercely, and escaped forcefully.
He had escaped from a life-or-death situation. The red dragon, driven by fear, flew hundreds of miles in one breath, and then quickly began to fly across dimensions, fleeing towards Fenan like a mad dog.
In fact, he didn't know that neither the Dragon God Hartson nor the being who had just arrived took him seriously.
In the eyes of both parties, there is only each other.
"Anuba Grant."
Hartson's tone became very low: "When I first met you, I should have killed you."
Then, his tone became somewhat self-deprecating again: "But who could have thought that a shepherd who had to seek help from the devil because his family was extremely poor, but opened the door to the evil spirit world by chance, would grow up to be one of the most powerful gods in this universe?"
The person who appeared at the other end of the valley was a handsome young man.
His mount is a goat with long horns. People who are familiar with him know that this is a powerful mythical beast that has been with him since the Third Age.
Grant whispered, “Without you, I would have starved to death during that famine.”
During the Third Age, because the high elves withdrew from Fenan, the major forces redistributed their territories.
Before Lance recast the Cosmic Magic Pool, order was in great chaos. There was a serious civil war among the various races in Fenan, and coupled with successive disasters in many places, many poor people starved to death.
Grant was just an ordinary mortal in the Third Age.
He made a living by herding sheep for his lord, but his seriously ill mother needed medication, so he spent all his savings on this and almost starved to death.
By chance, he got a book that was said to be able to communicate with the nine levels of hell.
The poor shepherd boy could recognize some words because he had studied a few lessons with the lord's children.
He tried to summon the devil using the contents of the book. He did not desire anything, but only hoped to sell his soul in exchange for some food, or to cure his mother's illness.
Then he opened a door.
Behind the gate is the terrifying tomb of the evil dragon.
Hartson, who had faked his death to avoid Lance's surveillance, was in the stage of developing his own power in a low-key manner. He generously gave the shepherd boy some abilities and food, and he also cured Grant's mother's illness.
Because of these unique abilities, Grant transformed overnight from a shepherd boy into a master that the local lord relied on very much.
Later, the territory was in chaos and the lord was killed in battle. Grant stepped forward, defeated the enemy and won the hearts of the people.
What follows is a very cliché heroic story.
The shepherd boy suddenly transformed himself into a shining new star on the continent of Fenan.
By this time, Hutson noticed this and realized it was time to recoup some of the interest.
He had his own considerations for not transforming Grant into an evil spirit messenger. After all, evil spirits were hated by all the creatures in Fenan, and it would be nice to have a secret leader.
So at this time, he contacted Grant again.
But he didn't expect that Grant already had the capital to reject him at this time.
He got a stone that fell from the sky - just like the golden finger that all the protagonists of novels have - the name of the stone is called the Stone of Destiny!
The Tablet of Destiny helped Grant escape the nightmare of evil spirits, and he eventually became the powerful [God of Morning Light and Guardian]!
Grant's refusal made Hartson furious, but he endured it out of concern for the God of Wizards.
In the end, Grant's strength frightened him and he dared not take any action.
Now, the two stood in a valley. This was the first face-to-face communication between the two since the shepherd boy accidentally entered the evil world.
…
"I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back."
Grant said calmly: "If someone wants to kill you, I will save you once."
"But you can't use this world to make inroads into Fenan."
Hutson sneered: "Someone wants to kill me?"
"Who? Who dares?"
Grant said calmly:
"God Lance."
