Chapter 357: The Road to Becoming a God Is Full of Ups and Downs!
At the junction, the king is just a pedestal holding up Elden's ring and the gods. All the king's power comes from gods.
Even though he was as powerful as Godfrey, the first King of Elden, he was deprived of his blessing and power by Malika, turned into a faded one, was expelled from the border area, and half-promoted himself to become the second king's husband.
It can be seen from this point that the king is actually just a puppet of the gods and the Golden Law. There is no such thing as freedom at all, and it is not important. He is a tool that can be replaced at will.
This speculation shocked Xiao. He realized that the complexity of the conspiracy at the junction might be far beyond his imagination.
Just one night of black knives may have multiple forces hiding behind it, which means that the power struggle here is by no means as simple as it seems.
However, this is not the time to discuss these issues in depth. After all, the current junction has not yet met the conditions for becoming a god.
Now that the Shattered War has just broken out, the demigods in the border area are all at their peak, and all of them are extremely powerful. The cost of confronting them now is too high.
While the demigods don't seem to be that powerful in the game, that's just a cut made to balance the numbers and maintain gameplay.
In fact, if you look carefully at some of the details in the game's background, you can truly feel the demigod's power.
After all, even if Broken Star General Ratan had been eroded by the crimson corruption and lost his mind, turning into a corpse-gnawing beast,
But he can still rely on his instinct to freeze the entire starry sky in the junction and block the terrifying power of all gods and men from becoming gods.
Not to mention how powerful the scarlet corruption goddess Marlenia must be, who defeated Latarn?
In addition, there is Monget who defends the isolated city alone, resists countless demigod rebels, and defeats many demigods several times.
Hanging alone overseas, the pure gold who created the Holy Snowfield and the Golden Holy Tree, Michaela, is an awe-inspiring and powerful existence.
This power is by no means as simple as shown in the game, and it is impossible to easily pass the level just by rolling and slashing.
Moreover, Lani did become a real god in the ending of Starry Sky, which means that she must have the method to become a god in her hands.
This method may come from the twin fingers of the Supreme Will, or from Queen Malika.
Therefore, Xiao decided to adopt the strategy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly"!
Wait for the demigods' shattering war to end and both sides to suffer heavy losses before pursuing the goal of becoming a god.
And secretly established a connection with the two fingers,
It would be best if you can get the way to become a god. If you can't, it doesn't matter. You can just exchange it with Lani when the time comes.
If that doesn't work, just ask the Elden Beast directly. Although it has sealed itself in the golden tree with Marika, it can still send messages by manipulating the leaves.
Xiao Jingjing felt the three big runes interacting with each other in her body. The three big runes eventually formed a ring symbol somewhat similar to the center of Elden's Ring, which represents the supreme power of will.
Surging power continued to pour out from the three large runes,
Believers from several worlds are constantly exercising Xiao's three laws, providing him with a steady stream of power.
Moreover, Xiao discovered that the big runes he mastered and the big runes mastered by the faded ones were completely different concepts!
For the faded ones, the Great Rune is more like a powerful piece of equipment. It needs the support of the rune arc formed from the branches of the golden tree in order to exert the power of the Great Rune.
For Xiao, the Big Rune is the crystallization of his own power. As long as he wants, he can use the power of the Big Rune at any time.
However, the existence of three large runes is too shocking. If other demigods find out about it, they will definitely launch a siege on him.
Therefore, Xiao decisively decided to quietly hide the three large runes formed by his own laws in his own body.
At the same time, he also transferred half of the Great Rune of Death into Wu Meiniang's body, and prepared to use only Wu Meiniang's body to move around, creating the illusion that he only owned half of the Great Rune.
In order to make this illusion more realistic, Xiao even released his own aura without hesitation, announcing his return to the entire junction.
"Woooooooo..."
When Xiao fully activated the death rune power in his body, countless dead people let out shrill wails and howls, as if celebrating the birth of the death rune law.
The power of death has finally ushered in its true master. As long as the law of death is reintegrated into the embrace of the golden law, they no longer need to endure the torment of eternal life and can finally find eternal relief in death.
However, Xiao discovered a problem: "Why only a quarter? Where did the rest of the law go?"
At this moment, one of his eyes has transformed into a bright night-colored eye under the influence of divinity.
Under the influence of the Death Rune, one of Xiao's eyes changed from the original dark gold color to a bright night-colored eye, shining with a brilliant and dangerous light.
Xiao's inquiry made Lani feel nervous, and she quickly explained: "I only got these destined deaths, half of which was used to kill the soul of Golden Godwin, and the other half entered my body and killed my physical body. die,
Since the law of death turned into runes and was branded on my body, the other half of the brand should obviously remain in Godwin's body. As for the rest of the destined death, it is all in Queen Marika's shadow beast - Malikis in hand. "
It was not that Rani was scared, but being watched by Xiao's night-colored eyes, even though Rani was only a soul body, and was given the eternal immortality of the Golden Law, the demigod also felt a momentary tremor.
There was no way, that was the incarnation of death, the law of destined death that was only one step away from becoming a god. Rani knew the power of this thing best.
After all, she had just used this thing to cut the soul of Golden Godwin, making him the first dead born.
However, just by using it simply, Rani still suffered the backlash of the destined death,
causing her body to die completely, leaving only her soul to live in the source pyroxene, and she could only use the body of the puppet to move in the future.
It can be said that the law of destined death is the final destination of all living things.
It can not only kill the demigods, but also destroy the fundamentalism of the Golden Law.
Even those demigods favored by the Elden Ring can be easily killed by it.
If the Queen of Night Eyes really becomes a god, I am afraid that the other gods will die under the power of destiny.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Queen of Night Eyes failed in the battle with Marika and ultimately failed to become a god.
The Supreme Will probably does not want to see such a dangerous existence ascend to the throne.
