Casting spells

And this dragon is so crazy, full of endless desire for destruction, trying to massacre the fallen gods.

As the saying goes before: "The hunt begins!"

I just don't know who is the hunter and who is the prey this time.

While his subordinates were in a state of madness, Zhang Cheng changed back to human form, took out a list from his pocket, casually spent the first name, pursed his lips and muttered: "Gargos is dead! One should be Myril, the God of Singing..."

Chapter 497 Divinity and Priesthood

Madness is an intense mental state that is equally as addictive as a horrific disease.

After successfully hunting the gods for the first time, in just one and a half months, Zhang Cheng successively attacked eight relatively weak gods, killed seven of them, and escaped with serious injuries.

At the very beginning, Manson and Sazastan maintained close cooperation with him, but later gradually discovered that the black dragon's madness far exceeded his expectations, and decisively chose to part ways.

After all, they had already obtained what they wanted, and they planned to concentrate on studying the corpses left behind after the death of the gods instead of launching attacks again and again at the risk of being besieged by the gods.

But for Zhang Cheng, who has lost control, destruction and killing are like drug addiction, tormenting every nerve all the time.

At the same time, every time he succeeds in killing a god, he will transplant the blood or organs that gather the most divinity and power in the opponent's body into his own body.

In this way, as the divine powers of different camps and attributes began to fuse and converge in his body, he began to realize what is divinity and what is priesthood.

The latter, as the name suggests, is the duty that the gods must perform.

For example, the fallen goddess of magic Mystra, her main duty is to maintain the stability of the magic net, promote the prosperity and spread of magic technology, and let more people enjoy the convenience brought by magic.

Another example is Melko, the god of death. His duty is to judge and protect the dead souls, and then send them to where they should go.

In short, each god has its own scope of authority, just like the bureaucrats in the political system, each responsible for their own domains, while in charge of these domains, they will also obtain absolute dominion over the domain and corresponding special divine power.

If there is no priesthood, even if a creature has divinity and divine power, he cannot be called a god, let alone be recognized by the gods and gods above the gods.

This also means that it is impossible to become a god by killing gods.

Otherwise, in the turbulent years, so many corpses of dead gods would have been snatched up by mortals who wanted to become gods.

Cyric also doesn't need to deliberately seize the Fate Slate and hand it over to Io, the god of gods, in exchange for all the priesthood and power of the three gods of death.

As for divinity, it is a key, a key that opens the way to the transcendent and to the immortal.

Zhang Cheng doesn't know how to describe this kind of thing in words. Sometimes it looks like a cognition of the world and the universe, and sometimes it looks like a perception of life.

The vast knowledge accumulated through a long life, or the direct gift from the gods, anyway, some intelligent beings and sons of gods will create an energy that matches their own characteristics from scratch.

And this special energy is divinity!

It's not arcane, it's not shadow, it's not fel, it's not positive, it's not negative, it's not any known energy.

Most importantly, divinity can be plundered by killing gods, sons of gods, and divine creatures that possess divinity!

Once the divinity has accumulated to a certain level, the divine power of the corresponding attribute will be derived.

Normally speaking, mastering the above two points is basically a reserve god who has stepped into the pantheon with one and a half feet. Even compared with the real god, it is only one priesthood short, and theoretically already possesses most of the characteristics of a god.

There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng is in this state right now.

Due to the plundering of a large amount of divinity, his original lava-like eyes have turned into a dazzling golden color, exuding endless majesty, even Valindra dare not look up easily, once he meets his eyes , Immediately, he will be stunned and unable to move for at least half a minute.

……

Jingle Jingle!

In the underground mine [-] kilometers away from Luskan, thousands of gray dwarves craftsmen are fusing pieces of Valyrian steel, mithril, adamantine, cold iron, enchanted thorium, arcane, source Metal ingots and many other metal armor pieces with magical metal characteristics are inlaid on the heavy and thick scales of the black dragon one by one.

With the help of the weak light, it can be clearly seen that these armor pieces are inlaid with complex runes and gems, and every time a piece of armor is successfully embedded, it will emit a dazzling light.

After the light disappears, this piece of nail will be closely integrated with the surrounding nails, and no spots or gaps can be seen at all.

"Great master! Your armor will be fully finished in at most ten hours! At that time, the whole world will tremble under your wings!" Shimmering stepped forward and complimented cautiously.

Even though he used to be an invincible black dragon, but now he doesn't dare to show any dissatisfaction with the majestic fellow in front of him.

The reason is very simple. With the power of divinity, Zhang Cheng has now expanded to a length of 130 meters, and the height of his limbs sitting on the ground exceeds 20 meters. There is no second dragon that is bigger than him in the entire Faerun continent. Its size is enough to crush most ancient dragons.

In fact, his body has no room for further growth at the current level. Simply put, it is stereotyped, otherwise he would not follow Deathwing and cover himself with an indestructible alloy magic armor.

In order to ensure the integrity of the armor plate, various protective capabilities, and not affect the casting of spells, he almost exhausted his inventory, and even personally went to the Underdark to plunder two underground gnome towns, and managed to gather the rare Gold, precious stones.

Once completed, even in the face of the powerful divine power of the saint form, he can guarantee that the opponent will not be able to eat it.

Looking at the left front paw completely covered by extremely gorgeous armor, Zhang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and responded: "Trembling? No! What I want is not just trembling! What I want is destruction! Look, this is just the beginning, After I complete the whole plan, the gods will usher in their twilight..."

"You seem to be hostile to the gods?" The silver dragon Mades, who was half-life and half-dead, frowned subconsciously.

"Hahahaha! No! I just want to see what a world without gods looks like." Zhang Cheng cracked his mouth and laughed wildly.

I don't know if it's the effect of divinity. Recently, he has been falling into madness more and more time, and the time of calmness is less and less, as if he has completely lost control.

You must know that the current madness is different from the irrational madness before. He is very clear about what he is doing and understands the consequences of doing so, but he just can't help but want to try it, and then relive the feeling of breaking all shackles. Come strong stimulation.

It seems that the divinity stimulated all the latent desires in his mind, whether it was the whispers of the ancient gods or the painful and desperate emotions from Neltharion's tears, all disappeared without a trace, replaced by a kind of A long-suppressed passion.

Zhang Cheng never thought that he would become like this one day, and he couldn't even imagine whether his soul could return to its previous appearance after leaving this body...

Chapter 498 Iolum

There has always been a terrible legend circulating among a very small number of people in the Northland, that is, the "half-god" who once created the glorious era of Netheril civilization - Iolum has not died.

On the contrary, he predicted the coming disaster in advance, voluntarily gave up his floating city, and came to a city of mind flayers called Elaento, taught these brain-eating monsters to learn arcane arts, and created the first in Faerun continent. A batch of Mind Flayer Liches.

However, he was not satisfied with this, and immediately created the world's first mastermind undead creature, and completely integrated with it through magical rituals, becoming the famous "Sage Elaineto".

Even after so many years, people still keep telling stories about him.

It is said that some offer a fragment of their own mind, or a newly invented legendary magic, in order to gain ancient secrets and knowledge from Iolum.

No one knows how smart he has become over the years, let alone how many kinds of magic and psychic powers he has mastered.

In short, almost everyone who knew about it believed that Iolum had become the most powerful spellcaster on this continent, even more powerful than a god.

But today, a strange visitor broke Elaento's tranquility.

Those ancient liches and mind flayer ghosts who served Iolum didn't even cause the slightest obstacle, allowing the other party to break into the brain pool located in the most core area.

Undoubtedly, the intruder was none other than Zhang Cheng who had just finished inlaying the magic armor.

Relying on the innate advantages of the dragon, he directly skipped over the empty city, opened the roof and came to a place where human brains were exposed.
