Chapter 478 Dawn Artifact
"Mr. Francis, nice to meet you.
Richard said hello to Francis, and then entered the bell tower with the covenant party.
In the bell tower of the Dawn Cathedral, an old woman stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd in the distance through the window.
Seeing the covenant party and Richard entering the bell tower, the old woman turned her head and glanced at Richard, with an expression of surprise in her eyes.
Apparently Richard surprised her.
The old woman is Catherine, the demigod of the Church of Dawn. Catherine herself is a blood relative of the goddess of dawn, and is also a legendary fourth-level mage promoted to demigod. When she lit the divine fire, she was already close to 200 years old, so she looked very old. But her body. After years of nourishment by divine power, he has become far more powerful than the legendary warrior.
After igniting the divine fire and refining the divine power, Kathleen's spiritual power exceeded 200 points, which was essentially different from the legendary professional.
Demigods are already spiritual energy bodies with eternal life. And the physical bodies they left behind have also been transformed by divine power, and are also extremely powerful.
This type of life form has mastered part of the power of the source sea, and the spells it releases touch the core of the magic energy particles.
With the same amount of mental power, demigods and gods can convert ten times the magic power of ordinary professionals. This translates into Kathleen's magic power exceeding 20,000 points, equivalent to twelve times the level of Richard.
Mental power and magic power are Richard's strengths. He had extraordinary luck. Not only did he drink the water of life, his spiritual power increased by five points, he also obtained the favor of the Goddess of Dawn, and his spiritual power increased by another six points. He won the soul battle with the legendary lich, and his spiritual power increased by six points. At four points, due to external opportunities alone, Richard's mental power is fifteen points higher than that of an ordinary mage.
Under normal circumstances, even a legendary mage can take at most one legendary potion that increases mental power. Plus some other opportunities, the external increase in mental power is only seven or eight points at most, which is less than half of Richard's.
In addition to external opportunities, Richard also made a great contribution to the development of the magical civilization of the Dawn Plane due to his special experience. He was favored by World Tree and his mental power increased by fourteen points due to the feedback from the Source Sea.
As for the battle mage, even if he is promoted to legend, it is just a powerful spell-casting tool. It is impossible to make much contribution to magical civilization. Of course, it cannot be favored by the world tree and draw power from the source sea.
For example, a legendary mage like Elena, although she is also a first-level legend, has a mental power gap of 23 points compared to Richard. Even the legendary second-level Senna, who had made certain contributions to magical civilization due to other special opportunities at the Princess Mausoleum, only had sixty-nine points of mental power, which was seven points behind Richard's mental power.
In terms of mental strength alone, Richard is no longer weaker than the legendary third level.
Even with Richard's mental strength and magic power, there is still a huge gap between him and the demigod Catherine.
Not only is the magic power of a demigod super strong, but the destructive power of the spells released by the same magic power is far greater than that of a legendary mage, roughly four times as much as a legendary mage. Compared with ordinary magicians, the lethality of magic is eight times stronger.
Even if a demigod consumes ten points of magic power to release a one-ring magic missile, the damage caused will be stronger than the six-ring magic flame cage released by an ordinary mage.
A demigod can release two thousand such magics, and two thousand six-ring magics are enough to defeat a hundred thousand regular legions.
Moreover, demigods are spiritual energy bodies, so even if their physical bodies are damaged, they will not cause serious trouble. A demi-god-level transcendent has almost full physical resistance and extremely strong magic resistance. Even if a dozen legendary mages join forces, it will be difficult to fight against the demigods.
Unless you can get the help of the artifact and use the power of the artifact, you can pose a life threat to the demigod.
With the strength of Kathleen's spiritual power, she actually felt frightened after meeting Richard.
Just by looking at Richard, Kathleen discovered that there were two powerful original forces hidden in Richard's body. In particular, the power of the God of Slaughter, like gangrene in the bones, was hidden deep in Richard's mental space, giving Kathleen a ferocious feeling.
The God of Slaughter is a multi-dimensional god with medium power who was active more than 10,000 years ago.
This god once came to the plane of dawn, but was expelled by the rules wizard. Even his incarnation and demigod followers perished in the plane of dawn.
Although the God of Killing is unlucky, he was first defeated by the God of Fairness and Justice in the past few thousand years, then was attacked by the God of Death, and finally killed by the God of Assassination. His godhood has been broken, the kingdom of God has been completely destroyed, and the killing of believers has also begun. Having been hunted by major churches for thousands of years, the power of faith it can provide is very pitiful. But this divine power is, after all, a god with medium divine power. The nature of her divinity far exceeds that of Catherine, even one level stronger than the Goddess of Dawn.
Although the God of Killing is already a toothless tiger, even Kathleen feels very troublesome when encountering this situation.
The reason why Richard was not controlled by the God of Slaughter and occupied his consciousness at the moment of becoming a god was that, in addition to the help provided by the divine power of Dawn, the protection of another divine power was also very crucial.
Although Catherine is well-informed, she cannot recognize the origin of this divine power. However, judging from the nature of the divine power, it is quite ancient and involves nature and science.
Gods with nature and science as their vocations were very rare. The only gods Kathleen had ever heard of were the God of Knowledge and the God of Truth.
Although the God of Knowledge and the God of Truth are both weak gods, they are very ancient and mysterious. They have survived for more than 50,000 years. The power held by these old antiques is actually very powerful. You can't just look at the godhood level.
After all, the God of Death, who is also weak, can easily control the God of Killing with medium power.
Generally speaking, the ancient gods are not keen on preaching, and they mainly rely on their own power. The competition with the gods of faith is not intense.
Because of the protection provided by the power of the ancient gods, the God of Killing cannot affect Richard's consciousness.
Unless Richard frequently uses the power of killing to upgrade his professional level, he will be invaded and infiltrated by the will of the God of Killing, and his personality will gradually change. He will get closer to the God of Killing in his thoughts and finally complete the replacement when he is deified.
The goddess of dawn saw this point back then, and spent her divine power to make Richard a god-favored person. She used her own divine power to help the ancient god's divinity suppress the killing divinity, and then sent a message through Ma Wei La to let Richard control the use of the power of killing. It has been twenty-three years now.
In twenty-three years, Richard resisted the temptation to become stronger quickly. Even in difficult situations, he still relied on his own strength to advance his professional level step by step.
This performance has made a great contribution to the Dawn Plane.
According to the characteristic that the killing power accumulates faster and faster, if Richard did not restrain his use of killing power, it would be very easy for him to become a legend in three years and a demigod in five years.
Twenty-three years is enough to ascend to the throne of God, but in this way, the God of Killing will be revived in Richard's body and his soul will be replaced. The Dawn Plane has also become devastated because of the re-enshrinement of the God of Killing.
Although Richard relied on himself to advance a little slower, he was also promoted from the fourth ring to the legendary in twenty-three years. Relying on his own strength to advance step by step, not only has a solid foundation, but also suppresses the hidden danger of the God of Killing.
Seeing that the Dawn Godhood, Killing Godhood, and Ancient God Godhood have formed a balance, Catherine also envied Richard's good opportunity.
In Richard's case, it was much easier to ignite the divine fire than the normal fourth-level legendary. After all, the divine power in his body was already very strong, and he was also a king with high prestige. It was not difficult to establish a religion and consolidate faith.
However, when igniting the divine fire, he still needed to go through a soul battle. If he defeated the spiritual power of the God of Slaughter, Richard might not need to go through the demigod stage. To become a god, the extraordinary person needs to go through five stages: igniting the divine fire, refining divine power, consolidating the godhood, mastering the priesthood, and establishing the kingdom of God.
If he won the soul battle with the God of Slaughter, Richard could easily pass the first four stages, and only the establishment of the kingdom of God would take a long time.
"Richard, the God's Favored, your condition is very good. Keep it up. Don't rush to advance. Try to make your soul more condensed and your will stronger.
I have been here for a few days and have a general understanding of the situation of the church.
Now we need to solve the problem of the Princess's Tomb.
Although Princess O'Farland is a powerful fourth-level legend, her spiritual power is close to 100 points, and she also has a divine weapon refined by a rule wizard, but she is still inferior to the soul of the Undead Lord. Despite the suppression of the formation that restrains the soul of the Undead Lord and the support of Senna and others, it is still a hidden danger for us.
It happens that I brought the Dawn Badge this time, and the badge can solve this hidden danger."
After hearing what Catherine said, Richard smiled in his heart. The Princess's Tomb is located in the core of Harland Territory, which is a big knot in Richard's heart.
Even if he and Sophia are promoted to legends one after another, they still can't solve this problem.
Richard had seen the Dawn Badge once. It was with the divine power in this badge that Richard became the favored one of the Dawn Goddess. When he heard Ma Wei La's story, if the badge wanted to be restored, it needed to be placed on the holy mountain of the Dawn Kingdom and nurtured with the power of faith for thirty years.
Now, because of the emergence of Harland Territory, the Dawn Goddess has added more than 20 million believers. The power of faith provided by these new believers is given priority to replenish the Dawn Badge. In just 23 years, the power of the Dawn Badge has been fully replenished.
According to the canon of the Dawn Church, Richard knew that the Dawn Goddess had seven artifacts, which was a very considerable number. Many gods with medium divine power did not have more than five artifacts.
The reason why the Dawn Goddess had seven artifacts, far more than the two gods of similar divine status, King Power and Earth, was mainly because they had fought many divine wars.
As the main force, the goddess had defeated the Rule Wizard, the Undead Lord, and the Dragon God, and seized many precious spoils. In addition, the goddess of dawn is a very good alchemist, who can make some spoils into artifacts. Even the artifact of the god of kingship, the seal of kingship, was refined by the goddess of dawn on behalf of the god of kingship.
Among the seven gods, the number of artifacts owned by the goddess of dawn is second only to the two powerful gods of glory, fairness and justice.
Among the seven artifacts owned by the goddess of dawn, the first one is the holy chalice of dawn. This artifact is the holy chalice that the goddess of dawn ignites the divine fire, and it is also the most powerful artifact in the hands of the goddess of dawn. Now it is in the red moon plane, used to suppress the red moon kingdom and seal the goddess of red moon.
Ranked second is the scepter of dawn, which is made of the heart of the world tree. In the dawn plane, it can mobilize the power of the origin of the world and can be used to trigger thunder, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes. The three gods of dawn, kingship, and earth all have similar artifacts with different powers. Among them, the goddess of dawn is the most favored by the world tree, and the power of the scepter of dawn is also the most powerful.
Next in third place is the Great Bell of Dawn. This giant bell is hung on the top of the Cathedral of Dawn to protect the body of the goddess. At the same time, the Dawn Bell is also the general hub of the power of faith, which can send the power of faith in the Dawn Plane into the Kingdom of God through the Dawn Bell. With the assistance of this artifact, the efficiency of the Dawn Goddess in transforming the power of faith can be increased by 50% to 60%.
Ranked fourth is the Holy Book of Dawn. This artifact has always been controlled by the Pope of Dawn. The Holy Book of Dawn contains three thirteen-ring magic given by the goddess.
The strength of spells in the world is closely related to the structure of the origin sea. According to previous explorations, there are thirteen levels of the Source Sea. An ordinary magician can reach up to nine levels with his spiritual power. Legendary magicians can usually access the tenth level. The powerful magic they occasionally create can reach ten levels of the Source Sea. On the first level, the best legendary mage even came into contact with the 12th level of the Source Sea and created terrifying spells with strength as high as 12 levels.
The starlight bomb that Richard has mastered is a twelve-ring magic, which is already the pinnacle of legendary magic.
Only demigods and gods who have ignited the divine fire and evolved into spiritual energy bodies can release thirteen-ring magic. The magic power of the thirteen-ring magic is enough to harm the gods.
The legendary fourth-level Covenant Fang, whose mental power is close to 100 points, has a high compatibility with the Holy Code of Dawn and has enough mental power to release the thirteen-ring magic. This is how he can defeat some demigods. the root cause.
The fifth-ranked artifact is the Holy Sword of Dawn, which is the magical weapon used by the goddess to fight enemies. It has extremely terrifying lethality. The holy sword comes with powerful magic attribute damage, which can greatly weaken the magic resistance of the gods.
Ranked sixth is the Divine Seal of Dawn. This artifact is the seal used by the goddess to sign contracts with gods. It possesses the power of part of the goddess of dawn's priesthood and is the core of the operation of the goddess of dawn's kingdom.
The last artifact is the Dawn Badge. This artifact has the function of expelling evil and purifying evil spirits. It is very capable of restraining the demon lord and the undead king.
Generally, gods with weak divine power only have no more than three artifacts, and they will not easily let the artifacts descend to the lower realm to avoid accidental loss.
Only rich people like the Goddess of Dawn would give artifacts to legendary priests for use. But this time, with the demigod Kathleen in charge, it can be said to be quite stable.
