Chapter 463 Divinity and Believers
Prophecy is always specious.
Even if the prophet is a god, he can only see some vague fragments, and they are often misinterpreted.
And it happens that the power of the God of Tricks and Lies is good at misleading others.
So after seeing a few fragments deliberately shown by Murphy, Morrigan thought she had figured out Murphy's background.
She saw a demigod who was almost imprisoned and transformed by the Christian God - this is exactly what the Christian God is good at, transforming local gods into his own angels or distorting them into demons - Murphy's power seemed to come from the ancient god Pan, but he escaped the transformation of the Christian God, and then vowed to take revenge on the Christian who tried to enslave him.
Morrigan was relieved.
Revenge, there is no purer motive than this.
What's more, his enemies are also his enemies.
This is a perfect tool.
"Wizards are just mortals. Your magic net may enhance their power and enable them to fight against ordinary angels. But you have seen the archangels, and they are not opponents that wizards can contend with." Morrigan persuaded.
"You need us, just as we need you."
Murphy frowned, as if he had been told the truth, but he was still hesitant and didn't want to give up his power.
So Morrigan went a step further, "We are very generous to our friends. You want to protect your fellow wizards, but relying on the power of the magic network alone is not enough, but we can help you. All the elves, all the fairies, centaurs, and fishmen in Great Britain will be your friends, and you will be unimpeded anywhere."
"But we can't allow the existence of enemies either."
"You killed Merlin, and many gods are very unhappy about it. You don't want to face their anger."
Murphy was silent, as if he was having a fierce psychological struggle.
But the gods are patient, Morrigan stood in front of him, and countless phantoms overlapped on her body, making her look unpredictable.
After a long time, just when Morrigan was about to exert a little more pressure, he heard Murphy suddenly let out a long breath, as if he had let go of something.
"The magic network can enhance the power of gods." He said, "I mean not only to help gods use their power better, but also to purify their divinity, permanently increase the upper limit and quality of their power, and make them more powerful."
"What did you say?" Morrigan was shocked.
The so-called divinity, similar to the priesthood, actually refers to a certain attribute of the "concept" possessed by gods. The priesthood represents the scope of the concept occupied by gods, which is the breadth of the concept, while the divinity represents more of the extension of the concept, which is the depth of the concept.
Divinity will derive the unique authority of gods, such as the god of tricks and lies is good at deceiving, and the authority of the god of the sea is easy to affect water bodies and storms.
The two are related to each other, but also independent of each other. Generally speaking, the broader and more basic the priesthood, the wider and deeper the angle that can be explained, making the strength of divinity higher.
But this is not certain. Different gods have different cognition and depth of interpretation of their own concepts. Therefore, even if they have the same priesthood, there will be differences in divinity.
These differences will eventually be reflected in the quality and level of divine power.
In addition to divinity and priesthood, the number of believers and the degree of faith of different gods will also affect the quantity and quality of divine power.
So, regardless of priesthood and divinity, what can ultimately reflect the strength of gods is actually the quality and quantity of divine power.
Murphy said that the magic network can increase the upper limit and quality of divine power. If what he said is true, it can indeed make gods stronger in essence.
This is a surprise that Morrigan did not expect.
"I originally planned to use this method to enhance my own power after I became the god of wizards." Murphy sighed, "But you are right, I am just a mortal now, and I don't know when I want to become a god, and even ordinary gods can hardly fight against archangels, let alone Christian gods."
"To defeat him, more powerful gods are needed."
"Wait, how does the magic network enhance the power of gods?" Morrigan was not in the mood to listen to Murphy's thoughts, and asked impatiently.
The gods fought all day long, and their dog brains were about to burst. Isn't it for that little bit of faith and that little bit of divine power? Why do you dare to say that you can enhance divine power just by making something casually?
"The key lies in the believers." Murphy said, and seeing that Morrigan was puzzled, he asked again: "Will you respond to the believers' prayers?"
"Of course."
Responding to the believers' prayers and fulfilling the believers' wishes are the main means for the gods to increase deep believers and fanatics.
"What about the frequency?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Morrigan was very dissatisfied with Murphy's attitude of a teacher teaching a student, "Say it clearly in one sentence."
Murphy sneered in his heart, but nodded on the surface, "Okay. I will explain it briefly."
"There are many benefits to the communication between gods and believers. On the one hand, it can enhance the depth of believers' faith and provide gods with more and better divine power. On the other hand, the believers' own understanding of faith can also help gods to more deeply expound and revise doctrines to obtain more believers, increase the stickiness of believers, and even obtain a wider range of priesthood."
"But the frequency of communication between gods and believers is often very low. On the one hand, this is certainly due to the need for gods to maintain mystery, and on the other hand, it is also restricted by the quality of the channel and processing capacity."
"On the one hand, the belief channel between gods and believers is very primitive, and the quality of communication is extremely poor. Usually only extremely strong thoughts or very powerful believers can convey prayers to the ears of gods. This makes it difficult for gods to communicate in real time. When prayers are received, it becomes difficult to establish effective communication.”
"At the same time, the method of granting miracles through faith channels is too inefficient and will greatly consume the power of the gods. Even if the gods hear the other party's prayers, it will be difficult to satisfy them."
"On the other hand, the information processing capabilities of gods are not much different from ordinary people. They cannot communicate with multiple believers at the same time. Therefore, both energy and consumption do not allow gods to communicate with believers too frequently."
"And the Magic Network will solve all this."
"On the one hand, the Magic Network can provide high-quality real-time communication within the coverage area, allowing believers' prayers to reach the gods in time. On the other hand, within the coverage area of the Magic Network, the power consumed by the granting of miracles is also very limited, which greatly Reduces the cost of communication with believers.”
"At the same time, the magic network can also collect suggestions from believers anytime and anywhere, and even read the hearts of believers, tap into their deep desires, provide precise comfort, or extract their thinking patterns to conduct more profound research on doctrines and divine nature. elucidation to enhance the quality of divinity.”
"On the other hand, the central processor of the Magic Network can handle hundreds or thousands of visits in parallel, and the gods can talk to hundreds or thousands of believers at the same time. Even if it feels cumbersome, you can also let the Magic Network provide feedback on its own. The magic net can record the gods’ regular responses and imitate the gods to communicate with believers, thus reducing the gods’ workload.”
"It can be said that with the magic network, the gods do not need to do anything, and the power of the gods will continue to increase."
