Chapter 613 Overthinking
Allen was also a little excited when he heard it, but he also asked something that he had been struggling with for a long time: "Is this related to their demise? You just used the gods and the gods' prohibition... I have always been curious before, Why are the gods of ancient mythology almost unheard of performing miracles. I mean, if you have the means to be a god, why do the gods who existed seem to disappear... and Death, who exactly yes?"
"Such extremely brilliant achievements made the Netherese, especially those wizards whose strength reaches a certain level and are called great arcanists, become very arrogant, especially when dealing with the gods who really existed in the world at that time In fact, they think that the gods just master the so-called "ultimate magic" that they don't know. This arrogance and other reasons make the Netherese generally unwilling to believe in any god. When they are injured, they even They are unwilling to accept the treatment of divine power, thinking that it will hinder their magic path."
Ravenclaw didn't directly answer Allen's question, she continued to explain: "The collapse of the floating city of Sornrest was the beginning of Netheril's weakness to perish. blew up his own floating city in an attempt at a powerful meteor blast spell, and no one survived. Bad luck followed, and a two-year-old cast his first non-magic riot but a complete spell A genius wizard was born. This young man named Karsus discovered that he mastered magic effortlessly. Like a human being, he refused to dedicate his faith to any god, and he firmly believed that he would become a god one day—and he did. After years of research after becoming the youngest grand arcanist, he created and A super-legendary spell never seen before was cast - Avatar of Karsus, and Netheril fell."
"One spell destroyed an empire? Aren't these floating cities floating in the sky? His spell's influence range is as large as the entire world?" Allen seemed a little unbelievable, which was far beyond his understanding of magic. ability.
"I deduced the truth based on the few records before he cast this spell, and the relevant records of other civilizations - the function of this legendary spell is to take away the power of a god, and Karsus should not take away the power of a god. The target of the priesthood to steal is magic.
He succeeded, but it also caused the chaos and loss of control of the magic power of the whole world, just like a small stone caused a huge avalanche, and the whole earth became a frenzied magic zone, the power of magic was surging, rising and falling disorderly, The whole world is facing catastrophe, and the monstrous flood is raging in the northern hemisphere (Note: There are many civilizations in the northern hemisphere of the earth that have records of the flood.), and those floating cities in the sky have fallen one after another, and those who use the protective cover to explore in the deep sea and the universe The floating city was also instantly swallowed by sea water and crushed by the vacuum, and those city lords died naturally before that. The constant Iolum longevity technique they cast failed, and after the extra extended lifespan disappeared, aging returned to them. , making them instantly aged hundreds of years.
And the so-called people sitting at home, the disaster comes from the sky, those magic items with various abilities, quasi-magic items, various magic traps and alchemy products are also triggered in various chaotic ways due to the frenzied magic fluctuations, in a chaotic spell trigger In the end, many ordinary wizards and civilians who were accustomed to these products died.
Some gods with prophecy ability left this world ahead of time, and the true gods in various other huge god systems fell permanently in this incident. Some kind gods tried to sacrifice themselves after knowing that they would not be spared, trying to restore peace to the world .
Only three floating cities that happened to stay on the ground escaped, but lost their highest combat power, and those quasi-magic items that required Mithr's energy core to function normally were also unable to be used. And the unscrupulous enemies regard this as a good opportunity for revenge,
The remaining Netherilians died out one after another after lingering for a period of time. "
Ravenclaw suddenly turned his head to look at Allen with some playfulness: "And the current Death God is not the one who was called Jergal in ancient times, but now it is just a mortal wizard who is proficient in necromancy After studying a few Nether scrolls and mastering the secrets of conferring gods, I chose death, a priesthood that does not cause much shock in the world, and became the new god of death, just like what I want to do now. You probably listen He was one of the earliest known dark wizards, and many of his studies still influence the dark arts today. He is credited with being the first wizard to breed a basilisk, and for this he is also credited with inventing many evil curses and being the first wizard to successfully create a Horcrux."
"The despicable Hai Erbo is the god of death..." Allen was startled by the news, and then realized something was wrong, "But when I was in contact with the god of death before, I didn't seem to feel how evil the other party was... I mean, he It seems to be fulfilling the duty of guiding the dead to sleep..."
"It's not wrong to say that, because he is no longer the despicable Haierbo. This Greek wizard was as impatient as Karsus when he became a god. He didn't have the ability to grasp such a huge power in an instant, but was forced by the priesthood of the god of death. Assimilation control - but his own greed still affects his behavior, let him devour the souls of the dead to strengthen himself, which is why we need to resist death - I don't want to let my fate after death It was decided by a new god who was also an ordinary wizard." Ravenclaw said to Allen in a somewhat arrogant tone, "By the way, Salazar's monkey face was played by Hufflepuff in the time you participated. During the carnival organized by Stranger Things, he also got a rooster egg and bred a basilisk in his secret room. This arrogant old guy thought that no one knew about it, and he didn't think that the whole of Hogwarts was me. Most of the design done, I'm not going to leave the surveillance system..."
"It sounds more difficult to deal with a god transformed from a mortal wizard than to deal with those ancient gods." Allen shrugged and looked at the Nether scroll in his hand, "What specific things need to be paid attention to when learning it? place?"
"Although you have stronger mental resistance than ordinary mortals and can last longer, don't read by yourself without my company. A wizard who has gone crazy from reading too many Nether scrolls, if his crazy brain is still Being able to control one's own actions can usually be cured by magic, but the price is that the wizard's magical ability is severely damaged, and it may even become a squib, and it may cause some unpredictable consequences. There was once a wizard named Edwin The red-robed wizard who read the Nether scroll accidentally changed her gender and had to change her name to Edwina..."
After Ravenclaw finished speaking, his expression became more serious and he added: "There is a way to avoid reading too much and going crazy - the direct assistance of divine power, and now I have made a deal with that big devil named Bayer , obtained the blood of a true god in hell and studied the secrets of divine power, although I have not formally started to collect beliefs myself, but it is a false god after all.”
Allen is not a Gryffindor-style reckless brat, "Then you risked reading them alone? What conditions did you promise Bayer to get this stuff..."
"It's just that Bayer lost the bet with me." Ravenclaw shook his head and interrupted Alan, "Alan, you and I are going on a different path, you can't become a god. Netheril People's concept of convenience is actually correct. God power and magic power are mutually exclusive. Now I choose to become a god, so I can't go to the end of the road of magic. Even if I learn the deepest level of magic knowledge I understand the principle, but because the divine power will prevent me from turning this knowledge into my own power—and you need to go to the end on this path.”
Hearing this, Allen's eye circles turned red in an instant. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with the path of ascending to the gods, as a research-oriented witch who loves to study magic so much, he gave up this path-obviously combined with the conversation just now, This made him think that Ravenclaw obviously chose to become a false god so that he could fully grasp the knowledge.
"You think too much, the greedy predator is not as great and selfless as you imagined. But don't be too happy, thinking that you can read the Nether scroll by just finding a god. First of all, this god must be very proficient in magic, yes Mortals are more caring - such a combination is impossible in the Netheril era. The relationship between them and the gods is too tense, so none of the great arcanists in Netheril can read the entire fifty-chapter scroll "The witch tilted her head and winked mischievously at Allen, "And I happen to meet all the conditions. I am very proficient in magic, and I care more about you as a mortal—I help you master the mysteries of magic, and you You will also be willing to become my voter to help me accomplish my goal, won't you? Don't worry, you have some other uses for me, so I promise you won't become Elena's."
