Chapter 308 Living Saints and Authority
A living saint?
After seeing clearly the phantom looming behind the opponent, William frowned slightly.
Being able to send a "living saint" to this place, it seems that the Church of the Holy Spirit attaches more importance to Ravenwood than he expected.
You must know that even in the age of 1,008 years ago, when the legendary mage was walking all over the place, extraordinary creatures appeared together, and high-ranking moon-level monsters came to the world every three days, the "living saints" of the church were absolutely rare.
How rare is it?
Before the seven plagues, the Church of the Holy Spirit was still the largest force on the continent, and their main pillar was that the number of living saints in the church at that time reached the peak of history—up to nine.
At its peak, the entire continent was filled with two hands.
Of course, later, in order to personify the Holy Spirit, the church directly sacrificed seven of them, causing disasters to flood. That is another matter.
If the player starts the "God's Favored Person" professional file, the title that rises to the top level is "Living Saint". Unlike the "Magic Singer" profession, which can upgrade all thirteen series of spells to the top level, "Family of God" cannot become a "living saint" of seven holy spirits at the same time-players can only follow three holy spirits at the same time... Although William felt that it was unreasonable to believe in three Holy Spirits at the same time.
As for the level of strength of the "living saint"... In the trial seat, the commandment Markas, who is the "favored one", followed the three holy spirits of "father", "boy" and "sage" at the same time. And in the encounter battle, the fully equipped Markas can be said to be the well-deserved first person under the presiding judge.
As an enemy, Marcus's fighting power is to the point that even William would find it difficult.
Of course, the difference between Markas, who can summon three solid shadows of the Holy Spirit at the same time, and the guy in front of him who can barely make up a blurred shadow of the Holy Spirit, may be too exaggerated to say that it is similar to the difference between humans and ants, but at least it is smaller than that of a six-year-old child. The gap with the world free fighting champion is still a little bit bigger.
Even if William is carrying a lot of debuffs at the moment, it doesn't take too much effort to kill the opponent, at least it is easier than killing a demon general in the Moon Realm.
So, William just watched the other party take out the silver ring that looked familiar to him, and then put it on his hand.
The phantom behind him quickly became solid—the holy spirit "Mother" with a halo behind her head, just holding her baby in her arms, appeared with a loving expression on her face.
Holy Spirit guardian ring?
Seeing this, William couldn't help being a little surprised.
Such an immediate effect doesn't look fake.
A set of seven holy spirit guardian rings is the top artifact in the hands of the enlightened professional. But for the mage profession, they can only be used as accessories to avoid damage. Previously at Black Crow Watch, he relied on the seven rings guarded by the Holy Spirit to block the direct attack from the four void kings.
Guarding with the Holy Spirit like he does is like using a photolithography machine as a cover.
Actually, in the main plot of the magic caster profession, the protagonist should return the ring after blocking the seven largest lunar rifts.
After all, that is the sacred object that the Church of the Holy Spirit uses to suppress the bottom of the box.
However, William adhered to the principle that if I bought the game, the things in the game belong to me, and he didn't return it until the file was closed.
"Let's continue, Mister Unknown Magic Singer."
After putting on the ring, the man said with a confident smile on his face.
In an instant, the whole hall, which seemed to be deep in the internal organs, was full of wriggling flesh walls, covered with withered yellow vines all over the place.
William was **** like a rice dumpling almost at the same time.
This is the strength of the "living saints". They are not casting spells, and they do not need the complete steps of communication, construction, and singing. As long as they practiced the path of the Holy Spirit, then as long as they were within the authority of that Holy Spirit, their prayers would directly become reality.
Opponents at the same level can only resist their attacks, but cannot avoid them.
The vines covered with thorns are constantly tightening, looking like a slow-moving meat grinder. What the other party said before, to give William a quiet death like sleep now seems to be pure farting.
Looking out through the gap between the vines, William thought.
Immediately he noticed that the other forest elves in the entire hall, even though the world was turned upside down here, were still unmoved.
They didn't seem to see the withered yellow vines that were growing wildly around them. Occasionally, the thorns on the vines scratched their arms and ankles, and they were completely unmoved.
Recalling the strange reaction of the man when he used the [Declaration] to pin the man beside the forest druid, William's previous conjecture once again surfaced in his mind.
So he decided to verify it.
【Jie Huo】
The bright red flames lingering around William instantly ignited those withered and yellow vines. Then, like ignited fuzes, they rushed out along the vines, interweaving a dense fire net in the entire hall.
This time, the forest elves reacted.
They either screamed or wailed to avoid the sudden flame. Some cursed at William, and some even rushed to fight him with weapons.
Of course, those sporadic people were instantly held down by the gargoyle.
Knew it…
William sighed.
As Jumara said, the two timelines converged under the resonance of the source of the moon, but not in the way William had imagined before.
As he has learned before, two different timelines are not two different parallel worlds. Because of the nature of the present world, there will always be only one real history that will be fixed and become the only timeline—after all, the concept of "present world" is intended to turn the overflowing creation of the Light Realm into a stable reality.
And the final decision on which timeline is fixed is the "right to admonish" that the kings of nothingness have repeatedly mentioned.
According to William's inference, more than a thousand years ago, the "right to admonish" was largely the embodiment of the power of "players".
Similar to that even though the player can have countless archives, and there are more possibilities of being discarded due to overturning, the present world will always continue in the possibility that the player is in.
Now, William suddenly recalled many meta elements designed into the game by game developers:
For example, after a player fails to attack the incarnation of a void king many times, the system will pop up a thoughtful prompt that seems to be mocking—"You are dead, do you want to lower the difficulty to play the game?" If the player chooses "Yes", there is a probability that the Void Kings will be triggered, "I feel weaker", "Are you going to make a useless attempt again", "Do you want to fail a few more times", this kind of breaking the first Words on four walls.
For another example, if the level is stuck for a long time, the player can choose to turn on the "reminder mode". At that time, the player will be able to see the phantom that reminds him to pass the level, and the bloodstain warning where the big data calculates the number of player deaths.
Before, these things were ignored by William as insignificant details, but what if these details that seem to be the developer's bad taste are actually part of the world order?
And what kind of world truth can be deduced from those places where you think about fear?
William felt his scalp tingle when he looked at the forest elves who were out of condition.
His idea was completely wrong before—after he came to this timeline made up by Ms. Hunger, he subconsciously regarded it as a parallel world with different development.
That's why he felt that what Jumara said about breaking the barrier of the two timelines through the resonance of the source of the moon was at best allowing him to temporarily return to the original timeline.
At this moment, he wanted to understand that the result of the interweaving of the two timelines was actually making himself in two different timelines at the same time. All your actions will have an impact twice at the same time.
Only limited by the observation angle of a mortal, he and the living saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit can only see one side of the scene.
In this way, William also knew how to communicate with Remedios and the others across the timeline.
...
"Burn it, burn it. Let's see how long your magic can last."
Sigmund used the "Guardian of the Holy Spirit" in his hand as a medium to constantly call on the mother's authority, and mobilized the law to suppress the divine master.
The previous vines were all burned, and had no effect on him at all.
Divine enlighteners are different from other superhumans. They don't need to consume any "spiritual power" or "magic power" to obtain the power to change reality; they don't have to worry about the ancient gods swallowing their own will and being reborn with their own bodies.
As long as he is fulfilling the will of the Holy Spirit, there will be no limit to their power.
At this moment, he who has risen to become a "living saint" due to his merits, and who has been protected by the "mother" under the protection of the false Holy Spirit, the power he can call is almost unlimited.
Unless in this space, there is a soul or creation that is closer to the "mother" of the Holy Spirit than him.
But this is absolutely impossible. At this time and here, even the Patriarch of the Second Order cannot be closer to the "mother" in soul than him.
After withstood several waves of his own attacks, the magic caster in the domain of the gods finally seemed a little lacking in stamina.
"Hey, can we discuss something?"
The man withdrew his spell as if exhausted, and asked.
"Do you want to discuss how to die?"
Sigmund asked with a sneer.
"Of course not, I hope you can help me communicate with Remedios."
The man replied like this.
The smile on the corner of Sigmund's mouth can be thickened.
"Then why don't you tell her yourself after she goes to hell."
The mage sighed, and then reached into his storage space. While groping for something, he said:
"The god-inspired person, even if it reaches the level of a living saint, the biggest shortcoming of the power system is that it must fulfill the will of the Holy Spirit, otherwise the power will be weakened or even invalidated on a large scale."
As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and took out something.
"But what the will of the Holy Spirit is itself is very complicated. After all, the Holy Spirit has never spoken. Generally speaking, it is the recitation of those who claim to have obtained the oracle. Some are completely incomprehensible sleep talk, and some are real. There are falsehoods mixed in with self-serving lies; others are simply made up. But what they all have in common is that they form groups, project an image of authority, and try to monopolize the power of interpretation.”
"Therefore, the will of the Holy Spirit is often misinterpreted as the will of the Church of the Holy Spirit. The will of the Church of the Holy Spirit is essentially some kind of false authority. Do you want to guess what those false authorities like to do most? "
The man said without haste.
"what?"
Sigmund couldn't help asking.
For some reason, this person's words made him feel very uneasy. He closely watched the other person's movements—at this moment, the person was covering his left hand, and something was put on it.
"They like to pin their authority on dead things, so that they can pass the authority and power to those who are not qualified to own them through the change of hands of those dead things. For example, you, such as those who later merged with the Riel Empire those church leaders."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Sigmund asked loudly.
The man smiled, and then showed him the thing he had just put on his finger.
Sigmund felt his breathing and heartbeat stop the moment he saw that thing clearly.
"I would say that for someone like you, this symbol of authority is more influential than preaching and violence."
On the index finger of the man's left hand, he wears a cracked ward of the Holy Ghost ring.
The moment the ring appeared, the phantom of the Holy Spirit behind Sigmund dimmed into a vague dotted line.
