Chaos Crown

Chapter 97, Stealing Divinity (5000-word chapter)
PS: Here is a question for everyone, regarding the skin color of the sword song elves, do you like just white, or... go the black skin route?Please leave a message here, I will use it as a reference.

When everything was done, Aaron sat down and rested.

This adventure made him a little tired mentally. He could feel that his brain was working faster than before, but he was also more tired than before he set off.

True, Tzeentch appreciated the knowledge he had gathered, granted him greater powers and restored all his magical powers, but there was no relief from physical and mental fatigue.

The tall and slender figure of the sword-song beauty Alponia is still standing in front of the four giant snake golden statues. The thick purple-gray divine power is constantly overflowing from the two scrolls of divine power, penetrating into the pool. circle.

Aaron observes her spell, which seems to replace and confuse the prohibition set by the snake god Seth, so that there is a gap in the protective magic, and Aponia can take this opportunity to steal the snake god Seth's egg.

So the question is, what purpose does Aponia want to steal the egg of the snake god?

Aaron sat cross-legged on the damp and warm ground, thinking about his purpose.

Divinity is the spark of divinity, which represents the difference between high-dimensional creatures and mortal creatures. The spark of divinity represents the essence of power of gods. Because gods are energy creatures and not physical creatures, gods basically do not have any fatal wound, that is, immune to any fatal attack.

Even if they fall into the mortal world and become saints in the catastrophe of the saints, they are also in the form of half energy. The gods will not die immediately when the heart is pierced, and they can continue to survive without a heart, so there will be many Divine creatures are immune to backstab, and even immune to many spells with instant death judgment.

The most obvious thing is that Aaron has a spark of divinity from each of the four gods of chaos. This is the proof that he was personally selected by the four gods, and it is also the proof that he can get the queen regent in a situation where crises are threatening and there are countless geniuses and strong men like forests. Pay attention to the reason why he was able to leap from a second-generation nobleman with mediocre talents and mediocre attributes to a Cormyr supernova in just a few months.

Similarly, the famous Seven Sisters of the Northland, Elminster, and the regent Queen mentioned Sammaster, the leader of the Cult of the Dragon, are all similar divinity owners. Infused into these chosen ones, the divinity of the Goddess of Magic is called "Silver Fire".

Miss Charlotte also has a trace of divinity from the golden sun in the astral world, and if Ms. Silver Star in the open-air altar of Shenhai Town can be promoted to legend and become a "high-level enlightener" in the future, then she may also get A sliver of divinity from Suren as a reward.

So gods can bestow divinity on their offspring or chosen people.

But it is not absolute. Many powerful creatures in the outer world also have divinity, such as elemental giants, abyssal demons, immortal gods, devil lords, fairy queens, hundred-armed giants, legendary dragons, ancient treants, etc. , their divinity comes from the laws or blood in the plane.

In the kingdom, there are actually quite a few divine beings, but they are still thousands of miles away from becoming gods.

Because of the three-piece set of gods, divinity-godhead-clergy is a progressive relationship. Although the power of divinity sparks is powerful, they all come from sources. Gods can bestow divinity on you, or you can be unceremonious. Take back all the divinity.

Only by merging and controlling the divinity from outside oneself, and being able to generate sparks of divinity, can one ensure that the power of divinity truly belongs to oneself.

This process is also called condensing the godhead, otherwise the divine spark in the divine creature is water without a source and a tree without roots, which may be taken back or taken away at any time. Only after condensing the godhead can you say that the power of the divine spark truly belongs to own up.

Because the four gods were beaten away, they couldn't take back the spark of divinity in Aaron's body for the time being. This was Aaron's greatest luck.

But this is not enough. There are many existences that possess godhead and divinity but are not true gods. The most typical ones are the abyss lords in the bottomless abyss or the devil kings in Bator hell. Their strongest is only "god-like" False gods", they have divinity and godhead, but no priesthood.

The priesthood represents the integration and control of the laws of the universe. For example, the blood god Khorne, as long as there are wars, killings, glory, and bloody battlefields, He can get power and emotional feedback from them. Through the priesthood Entering the godhead will generate more sparks of divinity, which will be transformed into the power of Khorne, and then Khorne will bestow divinity on mortals, which is the origin of Khorne's Chosen and even the Devil Prince.

If Aaron enshrined God with the priesthood of Chaos, then it would be as big as the exchange of every ray of energy in the universe, the change brought about by every bit of uncertainty, as small as the tight breathing of the drinkers who are playing dice games in the tavern as they roll the dice , will become the source of his strength.

This is called, chaos, no points!

Therefore, since the divine sparks of the four gods of chaos are extremely strong and cover a very wide area, Aaron does not need to worry about conflicts caused by absorbing other divine sparks, but why does Aponia get the divinity in the egg of the snake god? What about sparks?

No, Aaron found that his thinking had entered a misunderstanding.

Why did he assume that Aponia must have come to get the spark of divinity?

"Sister?" Aaron, who was sitting on the ground, asked softly, "How's it going?"

The caster needs to concentrate on casting spells to release many spells, that is, to focus on casting spells. Once interrupted, the spellcasting will be suspended, and the caster will be backlashed by magic.

Therefore, apprentices are always careful not to allow any mistakes when casting spells.

But with the improvement of spellcasting proficiency, the so-called focused spellcasting of the spellcaster has gradually become more comfortable. For example, in the fanfiction "Ilminster at Old Trafford" that Aaron saw, The fact that Ster is flying with Ronaldo on the court while concentrating on casting spells is enough to illustrate the level of magic of this great sage.

Swordsong Beauty is a master professional, and Aaron believes that her level is not bad.

"What's the matter, little rookie? Have you finished all the things?" Sure enough, the sword-song beauty could still chat while casting spells: "Is there anything good you want to show my sister?"

"How did you trick those orcs into taking risks in this ruin?" Aaron pretended to inadvertently ask, "Such a dangerous place..."

"...Didn't I say that? The half-orc chiefs were dying, and I told them that there is a secret that can prolong the chief's life, so they came without hesitation." Aponia still stared at the snake god egg.

"That's what I'm asking, why do you convince them?" Aaron nodded.

The average lifespan of an orc is only 35 years.

Yes, you read that right, the average lifespan of the orcs in the kingdom is really only 35 years old, and the orcs become adults at the age of 7, and their bodies begin to age after the age of 20. The limit life span is around 40-45 years old, and most of the orcs Can't live to die a natural death.

Half-orcs are the hybrids of orcs and humans (no ambiguity), the average life span is only 50 years old, the life span limit is 70-75 years old, and 14 years old is the age of half-orcs.

"Why do you believe it? Giggle~Of course I rely on this~" Aponia smiled, and there was no one else in the secret room. She also removed the noble and elegant disguise that a sun elf should have. Both wild and nonchalant: "The Zombie's Egg."

"Throw this egg into the water, boil it into a boiled poached egg, eat it, and you can extend your life." Aponia said confidently: "It's true, I didn't lie to them, if they can do it , that old chief could really live another 50 years."

"The most brilliant lie is that nine out of ten sentences are true, and one sentence is half-false and half-true, intentionally misleading the other party." Sword Song Beauty said casually.

"A better lie is one that is clearly a lie, and after telling it, even oneself believes it." Aaron continued: "Only when you believe it yourself can you deceive others."

The sword song beauty was taken aback.

Do you have to lie to yourself before you can fool others?

Is this the real clever lie?

"...My sister originally wanted to teach you something, but you taught me instead." Aponia suddenly became depressed a lot, and she sighed slightly: "In short, the egg of the snake god has many uses."

Aaron understood that the Egg of the Zombie is still a great tonic, something like a life-sustaining medicine.

"However, this is what the one asked me to get this time, and it will be useful for that next plan." The beauty of Jiansong continued to focus on casting spells: "Don't ask about other things, little rookie, you take everything Is it over?"

"What good things did you get, do you want to see it, sister?"

"No, since you have already got your things, you can go first." Aponia said calmly, "I still need some time here."

Xiaocaiji smiled inwardly: If she can't understand her subtext at this time, then she's too low-level.

Aaron got up, and he walked to the sword and song beauty: "But I don't want to leave so soon, I want to stay with my sister for a while."

As soon as this remark came out, Alponia's expression relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"Whatever you want~"

In this way, the two waited in the secret room for more than an hour.

Sword and song beauty's spell was ready, she pulled out the dark extraordinary dagger that had been filled with divine power from the scroll of divine power, and carefully cut a gap in it along the snake god's magic protective cover soaked in purple-gray magic power.

The divine power shield carefully left by the snake god Seth finally had a flaw, an irregular hole.

"It's now, little rookie!" Aponia signaled.

Yes, it is now!

Aaron immediately reached out, grabbed the Zombie Egg from the small hole, and held it in his hand.

The power of Slaanesh and the power of Tzeentch were activated together, following the light of the power of chaos, the golden snake pattern on the egg of the snake god shone.

A divinity was extracted from the egg of the snake god and injected directly into Aaron's body. It seemed to be aware of its fate, and strongly resisted the call of the power of chaos, rushing left and right.

But it was useless, six purple silk threads protruded from the fully activated power of Slaanesh, restraining the golden light and pulling it towards him.

The divinity from the snake god struggled hard, but in the end it was unable to resist the power of chaos and was swallowed.

In the Six Rings Demon Realm, Slaanesh was screaming, and Slaanesh was in ecstasy.

"Well done, well done, my love!"

Aaron only felt a strong flow of energy covering his whole body.

He absorbed the divinity of the snake god, and the blessing of Slaanesh came with it!

His Chaos God Venerable Warlock professional level has improved again!

His charm attribute has been improved!

Aaron can now use four rings of magic!
He raised his warlock professional level twice in one day, and Aaron is now an elite middle-level Chaos God Warlock!

Charisma is advanced again, all magic below the second level can be cast instantly, and even spells such as Tzeentch's flame have been reduced to tricks, and almost no magic power is needed to cast them.

Is this the power of divinity?
Aaron felt that he had only digested half of the divinity in the Zombie Egg, and the other half needed time to slowly digest.

"Aaron?" The sword song beauty next to him also felt some changes in Aaron's body, he seemed to be more attractive, the light and air around him began to refract because of his existence, even the magic in the secret room The elements are actively getting close to him.

But Alponia didn't have the energy to think too much, she quickly straightened out the chaotic magic elements in the air, and the dagger infused with divine power had turned into a piece of scrap iron, and she put it on the ground.

In just a few seconds, the shield left by the snake god Seth was closed again, but there were no eggs of the snake god inside.

Aaron held the Zombie Egg in both hands, with a greedy expression on his face.

Yes, greed, blatant greed.

Although the weak divinity in the egg of the snake god has been absorbed by him, he can feel that there is still a very powerful divine power in it, which is a power that he can't understand for the time being. Danger.

This is a priceless treasure... No matter how bad it is, it is also a great tonic, which can greatly extend the lifespan of ordinary people. This kind of elixir of immortality starts at [-] gold coins in the country, and too many dying nobles are willing to pay for it at all costs.

"Aaron-Salian?" The words of Swordsong Beauty interrupted Aaron's thinking. Aponia had finished her magic at this time, and she seemed a little tired. She called Aaron once but did not get a response, so the second time She called Aaron by his full name.

"Huh?" Aaron just came back to his senses. He looked at Alponia, and subconsciously hugged the Zombie Egg with both hands.

"Give it to me, Aaron." Swordsong Beauty noticed Aaron's subconscious movements, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated. On that beautiful and elegant face, a cruel, ferocious, and wild expression appeared , Aponia slowly stretched out his hand to the sword at his waist: "Hurry up! You've got a lot, sister must get this thing."

She was ready to do it.

This is the thing that must be obtained no matter what, if she can complete it, she will receive the supreme reward, if the task fails, she will face the most terrifying punishment.

Aaron's expression was slightly hesitant. In his mind, the voices of Slaanesh and Tzeentch came and went.

Both good brothers were telling him to take this thing down, hard.

Moreover, Aaron, who has been promoted to two levels in a row, has full magic power, and can also transform into a secret keeper, is not afraid of confronting the sword song beauty at this time.

However, Aaron went against the will of the two good brothers. He forcibly suppressed his desire, and slowly sent out the egg of the snake god in reluctance.

Mortals are always ruled by desire.

And I, control desire!
Don't you want to control me, the four gods of chaos!

A platinum halo spread all over the brain again.

"Here you are, sister."

After receiving the egg of the snake god, a smile finally appeared on Alponia's beautiful face.

Xiaocaiji did not disappoint himself.

Believe he is right!

She didn't know how many years had passed, but she finally felt warm in the depths of her soul.

After all, this is the only man who can understand his sword song!

After receiving the egg of the snake god, the beauty of Jiansong frowned. She could feel that compared with the egg with vigorous vitality before, the egg of the snake god passed from Aaron's hand seemed to have less vitality, golden The serpentine pattern no longer has light flowing.

But the power of the gods contained in it is still there, and that is what that person wants. A little less vitality means a little less vitality, which is the difference between 100 points and 90 points.

Just as they were about to say something, they heard heavy footsteps outside the door.

"Earth Walker Rhodok, come to pay homage to His Excellency the Guardian of the Snake God!"

"You are not the master." The voice outside the door warned: "Leave immediately, warning, warning."

"A Druid?" Aaron asked Aponia suspiciously, "Is this also your arrangement?"

Knowing that Aponia looked serious, the swordsong beauty slowly shook her head: "I never arranged for a druid to come to the snake man's ruins, never, little rookie, I'm not joking."

Aaron's expression changed.

"I'm sorry, for the sake of nature, for the balance of the whole system, and for the ecology of the country, I offended you!"

The druid on the other side of the door suddenly let out a roar like a giant bear. He hit the door hard and slammed on the door: "Wake up, snake warriors, nature needs you!"

This strike of the druid directly activated the alarm device of the entire temple.

"Who is disturbing my deep sleep!"

The large pool below where the Zombie's egg was previously stored suddenly surged, and a creature was awakened. He roared at first because he was awakened, but soon discovered the problem.

"Egg, the egg is gone?!"

"Great Lord Seth, your servant is unforgivable."

"Who? Who stole my lord's eggs?!"

"I'm going to bleed you and cut your heart open to thank the snake god!"

A giant creature more than eight meters long appeared from under the surface of the pool in the splashing water. He stood taller than a locomotive, and his six strong arms were covered with golden snake scales. Surrounded by white waves, each of the rubies inlaid on the four-ring gold crown on the head exudes the light of death.

The guardian of the temple of the snake god, the legendary six-armed snake-hater has awakened.

Aaron and Alponia looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Now, something is wrong!
