Oops, I became the witch's substitute

When the Water Priestess and the others arrived, they saw a rather tragic scene. Alex was being strangled by Marian's neck, and Hodge, who was vomiting blood, was being stepped on. It was obvious that the fight had been won.

Marian taunted, "How weak! You want to rebel against your own God?"

Alex replied with difficulty: "...It's enough to just drag you here."

Jasmine nodded: "I know you want to delay time. If you talk too much, there will be unnecessary gaps. This is the truth..."

Before she finished her words, Marian kicked the two heroes out at the same time, and a layer of black barrier appeared on her body to block the incoming water waves.

The entire building was cut into two parts by the water waves and slid down at an angle, but Marian was not affected at all.

Marian was curious about everything she saw: "Huh? You are elves? This is the first time I see an elf."

The Water Maiden scratched her hair and said, "You really made a lot of noise. Could you please put that thing away?"

Marian looked back at the obelisk she had created: "Are you talking about this coffin dream stone? No, because it is a request from believers."

The water priestess had no choice but to raise her hand, and waves appeared around her, about to transform into a water dragon.

This is just bait.

A tsunami-like torrent covered Marian, obstructing her vision and perception. While she was defending, Fu Kai leaped into the air, swinging a stone hammer, and smashed at Marian.

Marian raised her hand and supported the stone hammer. "It looks like they are enemies. Elves are not as friendly as people imagine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Marian crushed the stone hammer, suddenly grabbed Fu Kai, and stabbed Fu Kai's chest with a knife. Fu Kai's body shattered, and all the magic power merged into Marian's body.

Armor formed from dirt formed on Marian's clothes.

Before the Water Priestess could be surprised, Marian had already arrived in front of her. The water around her body turned into ice blades that cut into Marian's body, creating dazzling sparks, and then Marian grabbed her wrist.

"So that's how it is. You...are simply the embodiment of greed..."

Elves are pure energy creatures. When they were captured, the Water Priestess finally understood what Morrigan really was. It was a bottomless desire that could never be satisfied.

The Water Priestess was also absorbed by Marian, and a crystal clear magic wand appeared in Marian's hand.

A gust of wind came whistling, and the strong wind passed by, and only then did I realize there was a sonic boom.

Marian immediately stretched out her hand and held down the suddenly appearing Sylph with irresistible force. The wind blade in Sylph's hand collapsed at once, and Marian caught it and bit her on the neck. After absorbing it, the ends of the black wings behind her revealed a glow.

"Hehe~ This world is really wonderful. No wonder humans are so happy."

Marian dealt with all the enemies with almost no effort. At this moment, the reflection of the sky began to move, and a cracking sound was heard at the edge, which gradually expanded the divine domain. More and more people who did not have time to escape fell down, and their souls were sucked into the black obelisk, also known as the Coffin Dream Stone, and became part of the heavenly world.

"Hey, there's another mouse." Marian wiped her mouth, glanced at the two half-dead heroes, and then cast her eyes behind a tree. She suddenly disappeared and reappeared, but found nothing.

There is nothing behind the tree.

But in fact, Fili was lying on top of Marian's head. Although her posture was not very elegant, she did avoid it. She used her deceptive ability to manipulate the illusion of existence and non-existence, making Marian think that there was nothing here.

So, this world is so strange. There is always a kind of mutual promotion and restraint between talents and abilities.

Chapter 102: Fili the Deceitful, Arius the Face-Handling

In a certain space, Fu Kai squatted on the ground and drew circles, feeling a little depressed. But the good news was that she was not alone. After waiting for a while, she saw the Water Priestess falling from the sky.

Fu Kai glanced at the Water Priestess, who was usually quite jumpy, and said sarcastically, "If the opponent was really an evil god, he would have been dead. This is not how you fight him."

The Water Witch waved her hand and said, "Shut up, stop talking nonsense. You know what's going on with this black crow spirit, right?"

Fu Kai raised her head: "Just watch, let's count to three, three, two, one..."

After three sounds, Sylph fell from the sky and landed on the ground like a stupid bird that hit the glass.

The Water Maiden looked at Fu Kai and shrugged: "See, after all, she didn't notice it either."

Sylph was lying on the ground with her legs up in the air, looking at the Water Priestess unhappily: "It's as if you haven't been absorbed!"

The Water Priestess became melancholy: "So we were killed when three of us were fighting one?"

Fu Kai slumped down. "Unlike the pure power evil dragon before, this is a false god created by humans. Infinite Desire's main feature is the absorption ability. It absorbs faith, earth magic, and negative emotions. If we rush forward like this, it's obvious that we're just being beaten up."

Sylph raised her hand: "But mine is filled with red bean paste."

The Water Priestess was frantic and asked, "Is this the focus now?"

Fu Kai patted her shoulder and pointed to the sky: "Look."

The three elves looked up at the sky together. The original world was reflected there, and they could see everything clearly. They analyzed Marian's abilities, guessed her priesthood and power, and then they were like deflated balls.

"Now we can only rely on that old man Arius. If he can't do it, there is probably not many people here who can cure this crow spirit." The water witch became depressed again, sitting on the ground with her face in her hands like a Tom cat who has not caught a mouse.

After all, it is a remote area with not many strong people. If a real god appears, it is considered a top-notch one. It is difficult to fight against gods.

Jasmine is like a brand new graphics card. Although she has excellent performance, she lacks experience. She has accumulated a lot of knowledge at the beginning, but she has never really used it. There are many unknown things in this world for her.

Magic battles are actually a kind of intelligence war. Of course, there are stages of standing and bombarding each other, and both sides competing in numbers, but if the intelligence is insufficient, don't blame yourself for getting half the result with twice the effort.

In reality, Marian was caught in such a strange situation. She felt that she had found a mouse, and followed it with confidence, but she found nothing. When she was about to turn back to deal with the two seriously injured heroes, she found that Alex and Hodge had also disappeared.

"Mr. Fili?"

"Shhh."

Fili held Alex in one hand and Hodge's feet in the other and dragged them away, bringing them to a safe place. At the same time, she focused all her attention and let go of the false realm.

Although it is also a domain, the talent of deception is different from other talents. Its main feature is that it is silent and can be opened in other people's domain without being discovered.

In other words, if it can be easily discovered, then the talent of deception itself has no meaning and it is just a specialized illusion.

However, it was like walking on a tightrope at the moment. The other party was a being above the godhood, and the reason he didn't notice Fili was simply because he "didn't know". In fact, the scumbag count in the family was aware of the existence of deception for some reason and could perceive some details.

If you have doubts, you should investigate; if you investigate, you will analyze; if you analyze, you will discover; eliminate lies and believe in the truth; this is the way to deal with deception.

Of course, this method of cracking is easier said than done, because the nature of intellectual life is to believe what it sees and feels. Unless someone has a mental disorder, few people will change their cognitive methods. Even if they know the method of cracking, it is difficult to get rid of false lies.

"From now on, don't move." Fili pulled the two heroes into her own territory, completely eliminating their presence.

"Wait a moment." Hodge coughed with difficulty, "This is for you. I can't use it for the time being, cough...!"

He raised his hand and handed Tianyao's holy sword to Fili. This was a sacred object of the church, a weapon forged with mountain copper and mithril, cast with faith, a divine weapon that combined offense and defense.

Fili did not refuse. She took the holy sword and could now observe Marian carefully. Her first reaction was that this was tricky. While she was muttering about what kind of divine weapon the other party possessed, she accidentally made eye contact with Marian.

Marian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help biting her thumb: "There must be something nearby, a person? Or magic? Surveillance from other gods?"

Fili retreated carefully and didn't want to get close to her for the time being. While fighting with Marian, she was also accumulating experience. Now the two heroes and three elves had become cushions. She couldn't just shout "My sword is not bad either" and rush over, right?

But hiding like this is not a solution. The two heroes cannot stay in the false realm forever. From this moment on, their presence will disappear. Delaying too long will have unpredictable effects on them. Besides, the water priestess and the others have also been captured. Fili doesn't think they will be killed. There are still many things to be resolved.

The only good thing now is that Fili is a false clone, so she doesn't have to worry about being killed after being exposed. But she can't be completely at ease. The coffin dream stone created by Marian obviously also has the ability to target souls. The false clone distributes real souls. She doesn't want to experience what it feels like to have a part of it captured. What should she do?

Fili was racking her brains over how to attack, while Marian was trying to find a way.

Amid the stalemate, a golden black phoenix fell from the sky and stood on a branch not far away.

A faint voice came from Xuanfeng: "Stop, Marian. Since you are already a god, you should not interfere with the world. It is not too late to stop and liberate humans."

Marian said, "What if I don't?"

"You will be regarded as an enemy by us. If the ancient gods are the same as the outer gods, we, the present gods, will launch a siege against you, and you will eventually fall. Besides, do you think the power you have now is everything?"

Marian lowered her eyes. "From their memories, I thought it would be a goddess, but it turned out to be an old man like you? I never thought that my prototype would be something like this. I thought that as a fellow human being, you would have some profound discussions with me, but this is it? You are the true god that this country's sect believes in, right? The current god Arius, you are the one who hindered the expansion of my divine domain, right? You really have the nerve to come out like this."

Arius' voice was as calm as ever. "Compared to the divinity you possess, you are more human than anything else. In the final analysis, you just believe in God. You took the poison I didn't want and used it recklessly, changing the order of the world. If you insist on doing this, then we have no choice but to fight head-on."

Marian was very interested. "You don't want something? Don't put it so nicely. Those fanatics created it. Isn't it the result of your non-intervention? Aren't all the tragedies created in the past and present also done in your name? If you regard me as the evil result, then from your wisdom, is it because you didn't interfere, or because you knew the result but still chose to let it go?"

The two gods have already started fighting at this moment.

"It seems that you also want to assimilate me and make me agree with your theory of origin."

Arius pondered for a moment, his wings stroking his chin, looking thoughtful.

"I think faith is poison. It is the endless prayers of believers. In the beginning, humans would offer wheat, animals and even living sacrifices to pray for our protection in the form of transactions. Over time, now they only pray to the statues of gods."

"People only think about wishes without paying. This is a reality caused by lifespan. Forgetting the past and losing gratitude, the new generation will take shelter as a matter of course and no longer revere the gods. At this time, they will find that their prayers to the gods are no longer answered, and one day they will curse the gods instead."

"Tens of thousands of wishes are also equal to thoughts. At this time, God has only two choices. Either sit high on the iron throne and integrate thoughts, rule the believers with high pressure and majesty, establish strict hierarchy, and control the believers, or cater to the believers' thoughts and become their omnipotent wish-making machine, allowing the curse to poison itself, and eventually go crazy because of absorbing too many desires."

"As for your question, the answer is inevitable. In my opinion, these humans who intend to invade and expand will eventually create you, so your essence is the embodiment of desire in faith. You will appear regardless of my interference. God must be perfect, but I don't want to seek a perfect answer. It's just a coincidence that humans created a sect in my name without knowing about me."

"And you are even more pathetic. No matter what method you use, you must fulfill their wishes and receive eternal protection. Do you think that everything will be fine if you create this obelisk? Give up. This will also be your cage. From this moment on, you can't go anywhere."

After Arius finished speaking, he looked at Marian quietly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He did not regret it, thinking that it was because he did not care about the sect that Jasmine appeared. He was more impressed by the creativity of those people, who could actually create a false god to go to jail. Fortunately, he did not become the object of their faith back then, otherwise he would be the one to go to jail.

When Fili heard this, she didn't know what Marian would think, but she sighed. She just didn't understand the matters of God, and Arius probably didn't have much empathy for humans. So she didn't bother to care. Anyway, the development of this religion did not escape the historical process and was similar to the previous life.

In the past, some people raised a bag of laundry detergent to start a war, while others raised a Bible to start an invasion.

"Haha~ How dare a dignified god fear human belief? Ah~ Their delicious prayers are in my ears. I fulfill their wishes. Now the endless thoughts flow into my body. The divine power generated by the gathering of souls never stops. This is not poison, but truth." Marian hugged her chest, and the black wings behind her suddenly spread out. She pointed her staff at Arius, "I already understand that our contradictions are irreconcilable, so let's speak with strength."

Arius's incarnation of the black phoenix took off and circled in the sky: "How ridiculous! You are a god and you want to compare yourself to mortals. The limit of your thinking is the limit of your creator. You don't understand the true divine power at all."

Moli Ann's face darkened only because of this sentence: "How dare you say that? I'm not much worse than you."

Arius landed in front of Marian, transformed into a human form, and an indescribable powerful aura appeared on his body. The divine power instantly spread out, and the whole place was filled with golden feathers: "Look at me, false god!"

Marigold crossed her arms in front of her. She admitted that she had underestimated the old senior, but when she thought about it carefully, the power gathered in this body was not weaker than the other party, and it was even slightly stronger.

Marian relaxed again and raised her magic wand: "You keep saying that this is the way mortals fight, but you... cough!"

The blade of the holy sword suddenly pierced through Marian's chest. She coughed up blood and realized the intense pain. She glanced at the blade on her chest, then looked back at Fili behind her in a daze.

Then, Marian was extremely angry: "How could a god like you use such a hypocritical trick?!"

Arius relaxed. He was seriously injured, so how could he really fight with the young and energetic false god Marian? The newly born Marian appeared in her prime, and in terms of pure strength, she was stronger than Arius. If he was more familiar with theocracy and abilities, Arius would indeed be no match for this false being.

Fili was also cunning. While Arius was attracting the opponent's attention and releasing the divine domain to affect Marian's perception, she carefully observed Marian and confirmed that there was an obvious core in the opponent's body, just like a crystal, with a big flaw. This sword was not as simple as passing through the chest, but also pierced the divine core in Marian's body.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Marian's black wings flapped towards Fili, knocking her away and slamming her into a building. A huge rock fell and smashed her head, causing her to bleed and she was seriously injured instantly.

The next moment, Marian waved her staff, but her body was out of control and magic power leaked from the damaged godhead. The water priestess broke free first, dispelled the magic that was supposed to attack Fili, and then recovered her body.

Soon after, Fu Kai and Sylph also escaped.

Sylph urged, "Hurry up, Arius, take this opportunity to give her a fatal blow."

Arius said, "You guys protect Miss Fili first."

Arius walked towards Marian with a sword in hand. Marian covered her wound, watched herself bleed, and stepped back step by step. Finally, she gritted her teeth, wrapped herself up with her black wings, and turned into a black shadow and floated into the Coffin Dream Stone.

When Fukai and Sylph chased to the black obelisk, Arius looked up at the sky and couldn't help frowning. This situation was difficult to deal with. Let's talk about it later. Arius hurried to see Fili again.

At this time, the water priestess began to cry, holding Fili's hand and using healing magic, but it seemed to have no effect.

At this time, Fili's clone was in a really miserable state. He was hit to the point of being on the verge of death and was almost killed.

Fili was actually thinking about how to deal with the situation of the clone. If it died on the spot, the account would be cancelled and the card would be torn up: "I... seem... a little... unable to hold on..."

The Water Maiden shouted, "Hold on! Arius, you beast, think of a solution!"

Arius raised his hand, and an hourglass floated out of Fili's body: "Don't sleep, now is the time for me to repay you."

The hourglass was filled with divine power, turning upside down, and the time was flowing again. The injuries on Fili's body were also recovering rapidly.

Fili felt something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but she was too weak to speak: “Hey? Don’t… don’t… don’t… don’t…”

The Water Witch held her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not a waste of effort. This old man is still quite capable."

Fili gradually became tearful. She thought that the favor of being spared from death once was only given to her clone, but after recalling the past, she found that her clone had turned into a real entity.

There is no difference between the false clone and the original body, and it cannot be recovered or revoked. Both are the original body, and both can create new false clones.

But how to say it, the current situation is that one soul has two bodies.

Chapter 103 Sky Continent Incident

As the false god Marian escaped with serious injuries, the current crisis came to a temporary end. However, when they returned to the base, they found corpses everywhere. At least for the time being, soulless bodies were everywhere on the ground. Only those who were above the Transcendent could maintain their self-identity.

Not only did the church collapse, but many organizations fighting over the star beasts also collapsed, accusing each other of using forbidden powers. However, after finding out the truth, the voice of the church suddenly became smaller.

The Cathedral and the Knights Templar joined forces to suppress the Inquisition, and the next topic became how to rescue Coffin Dream Stone's companions.

In the field hospital, Alex was bandaging Hodge. Hodge was seriously injured, with one arm and one leg broken, and the bones in the most serious parts were protruding. Alex had to treat him first.

Fili was also in a daze now, with the three elves chattering around her, and Arius continuing to transform into a black phoenix and standing on his shoulders.
