Chapter 147: Soul Mark and the Status of Gods
The goddess whose neck I was holding didn't react at all, and she actually ignored my questions. Of course I was very annoyed about this situation, but I actually knew why the other party was so tough. The reason was It's because of her armor made of magic semiconductors.
In addition to the characteristics of magic semiconductors, the physical properties of this armor are also extremely exaggerated. Not only is the hardness amazing, it is also very tough. My blade claws have been covered with eternity, but I still can't cut into the opponent easily. Armor, such attributes are definitely quite terrifying. However, although it takes some effort, Eternity can still break through this defense.
Understanding why the other party was so stubborn, I began to increase the intensity of my hand and press down hard. Eternity soon slowly cut into the inside of the armor, and the other party finally realized that his defense seemed to be unstoppable. My attack.
In fact, in my opinion, the ability of this goddess of the Siberian protoss is really bad. She had no skills at all in the previous battles, but this stubborn behavior just now not only did not show her integrity, but made me dissatisfied with her. IQ was doubtful. When I knocked her down from behind, I used a dagger to make a brief puncture and successfully destroyed the opponent's spinal nerve bundle. This showed that I actually had a way to penetrate her armor, and this idiot didn't realize it. At this point, if she still thinks that she is wearing a turtle shell, I can't do anything to her.
As the eternity gradually deepened and I felt the cold air on my neck, the other party finally began to react. First he struggled and twisted, and after I patched it up again and damaged the nerve bundle again, all he could do was cry, begging me not to cut anymore. But of course I can't be polite at this time. Of course, I didn't intend to kill the opponent directly. No matter how stupid he is, he is still a god, and no matter how poor his quality is, he is still no worse than ordinary people. Moreover, the existence of gods has many other uses. For example, the soul can be used to make a container for the power of faith, or it can be refined into a super-powerful artificial soul. There are also protoss bodies that can be used to make many special equipment. Even if you don't kill them, it is also a very good way to use the transformation ability of the gods to convert the power of faith that players cannot use into the essence of divine power.
The essence of divine power is actually something similar to the Shiquan Dabu Pill that the gods condensed using their own divine power.
Generally speaking, the divine essence has no fixed form. The specific form depends on the strength level and attribute trends of the deity who condenses the divine essence, and of course the other party's investment in this divine essence. According to these circumstances. The size, color and shape of the divine essence will vary. The more powerful the god is, the more crystal clear the divine power essence is condensed. The surface created by low-level gods will even have a frosted feeling like stone. The gods' own attributes will affect the color of the divine essence. For example, the divine essence produced by the guys under Hades are all black, while the ones produced by the old guy Fahai are all golden, like amber. The thing that Vina made by herself was something like ruby. also. When making divine power essence, the gods need to continuously input their own smelted divine power into it. Therefore, the difference in input amount will affect the total divine power capacity of this divine power essence. However, during this period, the gods can also compress the divine essence, so the size of the divine essence is not necessarily proportional to the input amount, but the divine essence with a larger compression ratio will be stronger. If the compression ratio is small, it will appear in a jelly-like state or even in the form of aerosol. But because the compression itself is not very strenuous, most gods will consider directly condensing the solidified divine essence in the form of gems.
Although gods can condense divine power essence to directly strengthen physical attributes for players or ordinary NPCs, in fact this rarely happens, because divine power essence is not created out of thin air, it is the source of divine power consumed by the gods. manufactured. This consumption does not agree with the use of divine power. Using divine power is like using magic power. After using it, it will be replenished after a short rest. There are also many ways to speed up recovery or even replenish it directly. However, consuming the source of divine power is another matter. This consumption is more like consuming our attribute points. When our attribute points decrease, the combat effectiveness of the entire person will also decrease, and gods consume their own original divine power just like we consume attribute points. Once lost, it is not that simple to replenish it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the gods will not condense the essence of divine power, because for them, it is like an outsider passing martial arts to the protagonist in a martial arts novel. As much as you give to others, you will lose more. This kind of harm to yourself The behavior of benefiting people is really strange behavior happening to the gods.
However, although the Protoss themselves do not like this situation of helping others develop their strength and harming their own divine power, there is a slight exception in our guild. That is because the chaos and order of our guild are under my control. It is the only divine force in the world that can be directly controlled by players. Secondly, our guild has abundant resources of the power of faith, so the gods are not particularly concerned about the loss of their own divine power. Anyway, it is not very difficult to replenish it. It is nothing more than spending more time to refine the power of faith. , since the power of faith can be used openly, they naturally don't care so much.
Because of this situation, we occasionally let the Gods of Chaos and Order refine some divine power essences to give to certain players in the guild as rewards. After all, some special abilities will only appear after the basic attributes reach a certain standard. It brings out advantages, and the essence of divine power can improve certain attributes of the player, which can just adjust the player's attributes.
Although the goddess of the Siberian protoss in front of us has poor personal qualities, she is at least a god, and as long as she is a god, she has the ability to refine the power of faith to produce divine power. In this way, even if she is of no great use, we can treat her like a cow. When raised, the only difference is that cows eat grass and produce milk, while she absorbs the power of faith to produce divine essence. In comparison, this goddess is much more useful than cows.
However, although there is no intention to actually kill this goddess. But the other person’s previous attitude determined my attitude towards her. For this kind of fool who has no overall view and unclear judgment of the current situation, we cannot give her a good look. We need to use the simplest method to control animals, and let them understand that you are the one who has control over him. You can only obey and obey again, otherwise you will suffer immense pain and loss.
Completely ignoring the other party's screams and begging for mercy, I just used the permanently attached blade claws to cut off the guy's helmet and the armor around his neck. After cutting off the connection points of the armor, I directly grabbed the edge of the back of the opponent's armor and jerked it forward, easily taking off the opponent's helmet.
"Ah... don't..." As the helmet was taken off, the other party immediately screamed in terror, but I didn't have the slightest financial management. He directly lifted the other party up.
Somewhat unexpected. What appeared in front of her was not the image of a beautiful woman as she had imagined. Although there were very few people with below-average looks among the Protoss, there were indeed some weird ones. However, the goddess of the Siberian protoss in front of her had obviously lost her appearance for some reason. Her head was covered with a thick layer of blood scab with not a single hair visible. Although the face is not that exaggerated. But they are all raised folds. Moreover, the color of the skin is grayish white, and it looks like rotten meat. What's even worse is that this goddess has no nose. Instead, there are two holes. It seems that the original nose was removed for some reason. Only the nostrils on the skull remained. As for the mouth... that thing now looks like a monster's mouth. The upper lip is completely missing, and the teeth can be directly seen. The lower lip is severely deformed, but at least some shape can still be seen.
It can be said that this person's head is as if it has been roasted in a fire. Not only is the skin completely deformed, but the facial features are basically invisible. Except for the eyes, which are still normal, the rest of the mouth, ears, nose, etc. have basically lost their original appearance.
Seeing me staring at her face, this Siberian protoss goddess obviously reacted greatly. She was whimpering and struggling and twisting, as if she wanted to hide her face quickly. I can understand this kind of reaction. Once a woman, especially a beautiful woman, is disfigured, she will have a strong sense of inferiority. She really doesn't want others to see her ugly appearance, and hopes that others will only remember her beauty before. look like. Although this goddess of the Siberian protoss is a god, according to the settings in the game, the gods are just stronger than ordinary people and do not have certain ideological characteristics that surpass humans, so this goddess also has a reaction similar to that of ordinary people. This is a very normal situation.
"You don't want me to see your face, do you?" I asked very cruelly.
The other party nodded desperately while crying, but I did not let her go, but said: "Then what if I throw you onto the battlefield outside right now?"
When she heard my words, she was even frightened to stop crying. She looked at me in surprise with her eyes open. Although her lips were gone, the angle at which her teeth were opened showed that she must be very surprised now. Of course I was very satisfied when I saw this reaction, because this reaction showed that the other party cared about her image, and this was my bargaining chip to blackmail her.
"You don't want to, don't you?" I said deliberately coldly.
The Siberian goddess suddenly reacted and twisted. Considering her current situation, it was actually a very big reaction for her to twist her body. But she still struggled and tried hard to hug me and cried: "Please, please, don't, don't!"
"Huh, are you crying now? What have you been doing?"
"It's my fault, it's my fault. Please, don't let others see me. Please."
"Your appearance means nothing to me. If you were my subordinate, it wouldn't be a bad idea to help you restore your appearance. But you are just my enemy. Why should I do what you want?"
Although I didn't say this clearly, the meaning was already obvious, that I wanted her to join our guild. Maybe he was really cornered, but this time the other party was very smart. He immediately heard what I meant and shouted: "I'll join. I'll join your guild right away. I'll do whatever you want me to do." .”
"Join us?" I looked at the other party and said meaningfully: "Your soul mark is still in the core of the Siberian Protoss' divine power. How do you want to join our Chaos and Order Protoss?"
"I...I..." The other party's eyes moved around, obviously thinking of a solution. After about ten seconds, he seemed to have made a great decision. She suddenly looked at me and said, "I don't need that soul mark anymore."
The mark of the divine soul is a connection point left by the divine individual in the core of the divine power of the tribe. It itself is part of the divine soul, so as long as this thing is in the core of divine power, you can get the divine power transformed from the core of the divine power of the tribe. In addition, the soul mark itself is also a kind of containment, which allows the main god of the clan to control the ordinary gods in his clan. If necessary, he can even destroy the god individual by destroying the soul mark in the core of divine power. Therefore, this thing is equivalent to a kind of insurance and a means of control. If the goddess of the Siberian Protoss in front of her wants to leave the Siberian Protoss, she must first get her soul mark out of the core of the Siberian Protoss' divine power. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to handing over one's vital points to the other party. Under such circumstances, even if she is willing to surrender, how can I dare to accept her?
However, although the divine soul mark is a restriction on various gods in the gods, it does not mean that there is absolutely no solution. first. There is a problem of cutting proportion when the soul mark is penetrated into the core of divine power. To put it bluntly, the soul mark is a part of the soul. In most cases, joining a protoss requires cutting off a piece of one's own soul. Then invest in the core of the divine power of the family, and there is a saying on how much this will be cut off.
First of all, if a god wants to ensure that his body can move normally, he must leave at least 50% of his soul outside the core of his divine power. Otherwise, if the insufficiency of the soul is too serious, even the movement of the body will be affected, and naturally it will not be of much use. Therefore, the mark of the soul can actually be less than half of the total amount of the soul, and in fact there is usually nothing. The Gods require their gods to leave behind such a large number of souls.
According to the practice of the gods around the world, generally 15% to 10% of the souls are left in the soul mark. Only if the treatment is good and other gods want to join the god clan forces will raise their own souls. Imprint demand ratio. However, this specific ratio is not the same, but is divided according to the strength of each god. If it is a particularly powerful god, such as the original Peacock King when he was in Buddhism, his status is equivalent to the kind of high-level worship specially invited by the gods to hold the battle, and his status is naturally different from those of minor gods. . For this kind of existence, generally one thousandth or even one ten thousandth of the soul is left in the core of divine power, and the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance. However, if on the other hand, a very weak god wants to join some particularly powerful large-scale protoss, the proportion of souls that need to be handed over may be as high as 20% or more. Another situation is that a certain god among the gods has made a mistake, or is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Then the main god of the clan will designate this god to increase the proportion of his soul imprint in the core of divine power. This is also considered a restrictive measure.
In fact, this strategy of the Protoss is somewhat similar to the way some companies treat their employees. Some domestic companies are used to withholding workers' wages for one or two months. If your company approves your resignation, the money will be replenished to you. But if the company does not agree with your resignation and you insist on leaving, then the money will be lost. Not for you anymore. Although this rule is not legal, many local units actually do this. However, just like these gods in the game, this kind of temporary deduction of wages for several months actually targets the bottom workers. Those real senior personnel will not receive such treatment at all, because there are so many senior talents. Companies are rushing to get you, and they will immediately switch jobs if you treat them like this. With their income levels, they don’t care about the small amount of money you deduct from them. Therefore, it is impossible for most companies to use such restrictive measures when they encounter such high-level talents. .
The same goes for the protoss in the game. The great gods are extremely powerful, and there are people who want them no matter where they go. Therefore, we can only win over them but not intimidate them. Naturally, this restrictive measure must be lowered, otherwise they will just leave if they annoy others.
This goddess of the Siberian Protoss is obviously not a small player in the Siberian Protoss, because she just said "I don't want that soul mark." Being able to say something like this means that the other party definitely doesn't have many soul marks left in the core of divine power. Although there will be no backlash if the gods actively cut off the connection between their own souls and the soul mark left in the core of their clan's divine power, the loss of this soul is real.
If a god loses part of his limbs, they can regrow them. Even if his body is completely destroyed, it doesn't matter. He can be reborn. However, although the soul also has the ability to regenerate, this ability is much weaker than the body. Depending on the god's own strength, the proportion of souls that can be restored is different. Some super gods can even reshape the soul when only 30% of the soul is left. Although this process is long and difficult, it is feasible after all. However, that is just a few great gods. Most gods will lose their ability to regenerate after losing more than 30% of their souls. Even if they are replenished, they will permanently lose something due to the previous loss. Normally, if a god wants to be able to fully return to normal after losing its soul, the loss ratio of the soul should not exceed 10%. This is why many gods stipulate that the mark of the soul must reach between 10% and 15%. The reason for the time.
Since this goddess said she no longer wants the soul mark, it means that the lost part of the soul is not necessary for her, which means that the soul mark she left in the core of the Siberian protoss' divine power may not even be 10%. , and to be able to achieve such a proportion, she must not be an ordinary existence.
"What is your identity? With your fighting ability, I don't think the Siberian Protoss would want you to leave less than 10% of the soul mark?" (To be continued...)
