Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 19 Is this the Heart of the Puppet?

Deities have two very important characteristics: faith and divinity.

Ross didn't have any of these.

Because he took the hidden path to godhood.

Only a hidden path to godhood could have given him the courage to fight the twelve main gods in succession.

These were all set up when the game was first launched.

He had never seen a god after transmigrating, but such a thing as a god existed in the game.

An extremely valuable item. Using it will grant a buff to yourself, your subordinates, and your nation. Obtaining godhood involves a long event chain.

The image of the deity in the game is quite different from the one in front of me. In the game, the deity is like a series of beautiful gems of different shapes, but what I see now is a gem wrapped in a sophisticated device, as if it is drawing power from within.

The divine attributes in the game are extremely precious, each one left behind by a dead god in the background story, and there are only about ten in the entire game.

As a result, modern people directly used the divine essence for the puppets, treating it as the puppets' CPU?

Where do so many deities come from?

and so……

Ross carefully scanned the area with his mental energy and confirmed one thing.

This is indeed a divine essence, but a fragment of a divine essence.

What happened to this god's divine essence is unknown. After his death, his divine essence was shattered. This fragment of divine essence is about one-thousandth of the full divine essence's power, which means that the power of this divine essence may have been divided into a thousand parts.

Of course, outwardly, a complete divine essence and a one-thousandth fragment of a divine essence, as long as they are of the same origin, will look almost identical, since this is the materialized manifestation of a divine essence.

It's also possible that the designer was lazy and used the same texture.

Based on current observations, puppets have become the standard configuration for sorcerers, and sorcerers have become puppeteers, leaving no place for traditional sorcerers.

After all, using divine power to drive a magical puppet would definitely make it more powerful than a mage of the same level.

However, the whole world is using godhood fragments, and there's never enough godhood to go around.

How many fragments of divinity are there in the entire world?
Ross felt that the Age of Calamity was definitely not as simple as just the deaths of a few gods.

Are the other gods really just sleeping?

Ross was filled with doubt.

In reality, when Celia saw the Puppet Heart in the box and heard Ross's words, she was a little confused.

"Mr. Ross, is this really a divine spark?"

"No, I misread it."

It's best not to let Celia know, lest she overthink things.

"This Puppet Heart is indeed genuine, although... well, the quality isn't very good, it's low-grade... cough, ordinary water attribute, but it's still usable."

Although it only has one-thousandth of the performance, it is still a divine entity, which is much better than the artificial puppet heart.

It’s the price…

"How about it? This Puppet Heart is a genuine natural Puppet Heart, I guarantee I'm not ripping you off. It's also rare. I won't try to take advantage of you, it'll only cost 100 gold coins."

“Isn’t this just an ordinary water-attribute puppet heart?” Celia blinked. “Our mentor said that wind, fire, water, and earth-attribute puppet hearts are the most common and the least valuable, worth at most 10 gold coins.”

"Ten gold coins?" The stall owner gasped. This was an outrageous price cut!
However, Celia is not wrong. Although it is a natural Puppet Heart, its performance is too weak. It has no competitiveness among natural Puppet Hearts, being the most common water-type, lacking attack power and unable to match the support capabilities of the holy type. Even an artificial Puppet Heart, if it has a slightly rarer attribute, would be more valuable than this.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had to hide and prepare to find a fat sheep.

It was sold a long time ago!
"Madam, you've bargained too hard. That's not how you do business. If you like it, I'll give it to you for 50 gold coins. It's not like I can't bear to part with it."

Seeing that Celia was interested in buying, the stall owner quickly began telling a story: "This natural puppet heart was obtained after we ventured into the lost ancient ruins, risking our lives. In the process, my friends were seriously injured and almost didn't make it back..."

"However, it is just an ordinary water-attribute magic puppet heart."

"I can't sell it for 10 gold coins."

"15 gold coins."

"At least let us afford the cost of finding a priest, right? 40 gold coins, that's the lowest we can go."

"20 gold coins, sell or not? If not, forget it."

Artificial water-type puppet hearts are selling for 10 gold coins and nobody's buying them, while natural water-type puppet hearts are priced at 20 gold coins, which is a bit overpriced. If the vendor doesn't sell...

Man-made things aren't necessarily unusable.

The stall owner seemed to hesitate for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "20 gold coins it is, I can only sell it to you at a loss. If you have any friends who want to buy the Heart of the Puppet, remember to recommend it to me."

"Will do."

After buying the Puppet Heart, Celia wandered around for a while and bought some more puppet-related materials before leaving the Sorcerer's Guild.

On the way back, we didn't encounter any highway robbery or similar incidents. The area was the headquarters of the Holy Magic Academy and the Holy Court. If we tried to rob someone nearby, we would most likely end up robbing students from the Holy Magic Academy, and we could easily be labeled as heretics and dragged to trial.

"Finally, I can make my own magic puppet!"

The girl excitedly plunged into the small cubicle that was supposed to be used as a kitchen, disassembled the parts that had been assembled earlier, and reassembled them under Ross's guidance.

This time, the addition of the Puppet Heart circuit made assembly more complicated. In addition, Celia bought some new materials to replace the inferior ones, making the progress extremely slow.

Fortunately, this puppet was only a rudimentary puppet, and under Ross's powerful mental guidance, it was eventually successfully created.

Once the divine fragment serving as the heart of the puppet was placed in the core position, and Celia infused it with magic to complete her mark, the puppet was successfully completed.

A glimmer of color appeared in the puppet's empty eyes, emanating a magical fluctuation, signifying its completion and its ability to use spells learned by its controller.

"Once I go to the library and learn a few more spells to input into it, it will have the strength to pass the annual assessment."

Celia smiled happily, wiped the sweat from her cheeks, and kept looking at the puppet, feeling happier the more she looked at it.

She tried giving the puppet commands to tidy up the messy kitchen cubicles.

The puppet quickly came to life, tidying up with deft movements, much like an advanced artificial intelligence robot.

Celia focused her attention on the mental space and asked Ross expectantly, "Mr. Ross, what do you think of this puppet?"

"It's alright, it works."

Ross was also sensing the puppet through his connection with Celia.

An idea slowly emerged in his mind.

“Celia, I have an idea.”
