I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Those who petition for annexation

Li Si and Aivar walked in the direction pointed by the black cat.

Although Aivar didn't know why Li Si changed direction, he followed Li Si without asking.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Si felt that he had already adapted to the environment of this small island of gods, when he suddenly found that the woods in front of the two of them began to become sparse.

Even the mist floating in the air began to dissipate.

 Are you going to go out?

With a flash of magic, the emerald staff appeared in Li Si's hand, casting protection and buffing spells on him and Aivar.

Upon seeing this, Aivar also drew his sword and started to be on guard.

The two of them walked forward slowly, and only the rustling footsteps could be heard echoing around them.

 When Li Si and Aivar walked out of the forest, they found that it was not that they had left the forest, but that there was a flat open space in the middle of the forest.

Stepping on the blue-gray stone bricks, Li Si and Aivar looked at a building that suddenly appeared in front of them with solemn expressions.

It was a tall altar that was completely white, with exquisite cyan and blue patterns spreading on the jade-white stone steps, faintly shining with a special light.

There is a special corrugated stone platform at the top center of the altar. Li Si could vaguely see a blue orb floating on the stone platform.

There are ten stone steps on the altar from bottom to top. Each time you go up, the special patterns on the stone steps become more complicated and mysterious. Li Si just looked at it, as if the strong wind and thunder disappeared in front of his eyes.

It was as if I was in a sea of ​​violent storms and thunder, like a small boat unable to extricate itself, and could only passively bear the impact.

This unusual feeling made Li Si involuntarily close his eyes to temporarily relieve some of the mental shock.

The extremely magical-looking altar in front of him was within Li Si's expectations, but to Li Si's surprise, there were several figures kneeling on the lowest stone steps above the altar.

Hands clasped together, he seemed to be praying silently. He was wearing a simple white robe, which seemed to have cyan blue patterns of storms and thunder.

 Is there anyone?

How come there are other people here?

 Alive or some kind of monster?

Seeing this unusual situation, Li Si suddenly paid attention.

At this time, Aivar seemed to be still immersed in the influence of the altar just now and had not yet woken up.

Li Si did not wake him up rashly, but carefully observed the people on the altar.

 As he took a few steps closer to the altar, Li Si suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the altar.

 “My lord Ans-El!

 You are the protector of sailors! You are the embodiment of thunder! You are the master of the endless storm!

　　My lord Ans-El!

You give us new life! Your kingdom protects the souls of believers so that they will not return to nothingness!

　　My lord Ans-El!

　　Listening to the murmuring voice of prayer, Li Si frowned.

This is praying to Ansiel, the God of Storm and Thunder. Are these his followers?

Logically speaking, it is not surprising to see believers on this small island left by the **** Ans Air.

 But the most important thing is that the **** has fallen for who knows how long. How can there still be believers here?

You must know that although the existence of gods is extremely miraculous, their lives are extremely tenacious and difficult to kill.

As long as his believers are still there, his divinity is still there, and his priesthood is not occupied by anyone else, then this **** may still be able to resurrect from the long river of time.

That's what it is said, but the only way for a **** to fall is through the action of other gods, or some extremely special circumstances.

Those gods who take action will naturally not allow the enemy to resurrect. They will arrange believers to hunt down and eliminate the believers of the fallen god. They will occupy the other party's priesthood or grant it to others, eliminating some possibilities of resurrection.

The most important thing is that once a **** dies, his followers will naturally feel it, and their prayers will no longer respond. At the same time, the priest of that **** will also lose all his ability to cast spells, and may even be unable to control the magic power in his body and directly He died on the spot.

Except for the fanatical believers with extremely firm beliefs, most believers are very realistic guys. Once they do not receive protection, they will give up their faith or switch to other gods.

So there are really too few gods who can return. In Li Si's impression, only a few powerful gods such as the Lord of the Dawn have such records. Whether it is true or not is still unclear.

Li Si doesn't believe that this [God of Storm and Thunder Ansel] can do the same thing, so what is going on?

 “That's the petitioner!”

Black Cat's voice suddenly sounded in Li Si's heart, and his words were very serious.

 “Petitioners for annexation?”

Li Si repeated it, a little unbelievable.

How can this be!

 Li Si knew very well what a petitioner was.

 In other words, anyone who knows little about the Church of the Gods knows about this existence.

The so-called petitioners are believers who devoutly believe in the gods. After their lives come to the end, their souls will not fall into the River Styx and go to the underworld. Instead, they will be led by the gods they believe in into the kingdom of God, where they will gain eternity. s life.

 This is what all believers of the gods yearn for, and it is also one of the reasons why they choose to believe in the gods.

 O eternal life!

 What a seductive word!

The Church of the Gods claims that as long as you enter the Lord's kingdom of God, you will receive eternal life and a beautiful life. No matter whether you are a prince, aristocrat, or a commoner beggar, they will be attracted by this and believe in those gods devoutly.

 But the actual situation is not as good as what the Church of the Gods preaches!

It is true that as long as the gods do not die and the kingdom of God is immortal, the petitioner will indeed receive eternal life, but this has great limitations.

 That means that from now on, you can never leave the kingdom of gods, that is, the kingdom of God.

Similarly, they can almost be regarded as the most devout fanatics. They constantly pray to the gods in the Kingdom of God and provide the gods with the power of faith.

 So for the gods, petitioners are an important part of their kingdom.

In Li Si's view, rather than gaining eternity in the Kingdom of God, it is better to say that one has lost all ability to be independent and has become a perpetual motion machine that generates the power of faith.

 This is unacceptable to Li Si, and the same is true for most mages.

 But for most civilians, life is too difficult, and only faith can soothe their hearts. Also, because they have not mastered extraordinary power, they have no expectations for the higher scenery.

Even if they knew the consequences of becoming petitioners, they would choose to agree without hesitation.

Having said that, although the petitioner can live with the Kingdom of God forever, when the **** falls, all the petitioners will die the same.

Li Si still knows this information, but what is the situation of these people in front of him?

“It is indeed a petitioner. I am very familiar with this situation.”

Black Cat's voice was full of affirmation and he added:

“The Sphinx has studied this kind of existence and even created an approximate existence, so I am familiar with this situation.”

Legendary Arcanist is so awesome!

 Dare to study anything! The key was figured out for him! Li Si was speechless. He really didn't expect this kind of information.

“As far as I know, the petitioner should die with the fall of the god. Does this mean that the **** has not died?”

"have no idea!"

Black Cat said confidently:

“The Sphinx has only studied it. I don't know the specific situation. I can only confirm that these people are petitioners.”

 Kill him or bury him!

Li Si almost had the idea of ​​taking the black cat out of his body and beating him up, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the petitioners.

Here Li Si's mental exploration was oppressed even more obviously. No matter how hard he tried, he could not detect the existence of those figures and could only confirm it with the naked eye.

Their entire bodies and faces were shrouded in robes, and the shadows of the hoods on their heads completely obscured their faces, making it impossible for Li Si to detect them.

Even if he got closer, Li Si could feel the breath of the petitioner, as if there was nothing on the altar.

Li Si was not in a hurry. This kind of unexpected situation was too normal in the secret exploration realm.

 Now it seems that it may be because of this altar that led to the existence of these petitioners.

As for the possibility that the **** is still alive, Li Si feels that the possibility of him having an epiphany and becoming a legendary powerhouse is even higher now.

 Because Li Si had never heard of the name Ans Ayer in his previous life.

You must know that Li Si was a master of power training in his previous life. Even the weak gods should have some impression on him.

 Gods require belief, and preaching about his gods is the most important thing for his church.

There are gods that do not require belief, but they are extremely powerful beings, certainly not including this "God of Storms".

Since this **** has fallen, the existence of the petitioner may be affected by external factors.

Li Si's eyes moved to the middle of the altar and fell on the blue orb.

 Is it the influence of this thing?

Around this altar, it seems that due to the passage of time, except for this altar that is still intact, the surrounding broken stone pillars and ruined walls have been covered with light dust, giving people a sense of desolation and vicissitudes of life in silence.

Had it not been blocked by the surrounding forest, Li Si suspected that this area would have been completely swallowed up by the trees.

There was a heavy breathing sound from behind Li Si. Looking back, he saw Aivar sitting on the ground and gasping for air, as if he had just broken free from the mental influence.

 “Stand back a little and stand on the edge of the woods.”

Li Si said to Aivar that he would not care about Aivar when he explores later.

"yes!"

Aivar did not hesitate at all, and quickly stood up and stepped back, not daring to look at the altar again with lingering fear.

He suffered a lot just now!

  It is simply hellish torture!

Li Si looked at the altar in front of him and tentatively walked in the direction of the altar.

I don't know what the status of these petitioners is, but it's definitely not possible for Li Si to give up exploration and leave directly.

However, Li Si was also prepared. Although the petitioners were in the Kingdom of Gods and mainly provided the power of faith to the gods, it did not mean that they had no fighting capacity.

 All petitioners will be strengthened by the Kingdom of God. Even if they were ordinary people during their lifetime, they are equivalent to extraordinary professionals above the gold level in the Kingdom of God.

Petitioners are the first line of defense for the Kingdom of God against external invasion.

Although Ans El's kingdom of God has been destroyed, it does not mean that these petitioners are not in danger.

 As Li Si approached, the four figures on the altar did not move at all.

With his eyes fixed on the petitioners, Li Si slowly approached and tried not to make a sound while walking through the ruins around the altar.

 The voice of the prayer gradually became louder, and Li Si heard it more clearly.

Everything went well. When Li Si tried to step on the altar, the figures in white robes on the lowest stone steps suddenly turned around and looked in Li Si's direction.

These petitioners raised their heads, and Li Si could clearly see their faces under their hoods.

They all looked like very ordinary adults, two men and two women. Their wheat-colored skin looked a little rough, and they looked like residents who lived by the sea all year round.

Their eyes were cold and lifeless, without any expression of intelligence. They stood there and stared at Li Si.

 The prayers gradually disappeared and the scene became stagnant.

Suddenly, Li Si saw the four petitioners raising their hands at the same time, and there was a faint white light flashing.

 “Damn it! Are you really going to take the initiative to attack?”

Li Si looked solemn and retreated behind him.

 I saw a dazzling light suddenly blooming in the hands of the four people, striking in the direction of Li Si.

 The priest's divine spell [Scorching Glory]!

 Since the gods have fallen, how can they still use divine magic?

This priest skill is somewhat equivalent to the mage's evocation spell [Fireball], but it is more powerful than Fireball.

The staff in Li Si's hand bloomed with magical aura, and an invisible magic shield surrounded Li Si's body.

 Fourth ring spell [Advanced Elemental Shield]!

 Sixth ring spell [Repellent Demon Protection]!

　　Boom!

Three dazzling **** of light hit Li Si's shield in succession. After a tremor, the shield shattered and dissipated in the air.

Li Si quickly dodged the last attack, but felt relieved in his heart.

 Fortunately, it seems that perhaps due to the impact of the fragmentation of the Kingdom of God, these petitioners should only have the strength of high-level silver level, and are still a little far away from the gold level.

 Still within Li Si's processing range!

 It's not that Li Si is too confident, the state of these petitioners can be seen from the attack just now.

 There is no intelligence at all. Even the attack is just a subconscious action without any coordination.

 The most important thing is that the abilities of these petitioners are all priests!

Ding~

 Listening to the soft beeping sound of the system, the corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly, and his figure disappeared into the air.

 Assassin combat skill [forced stealth]!

The petitioners raised their heads and seemed to have not noticed Li Si's figure, so they turned around and continued their previous prayers.

Suddenly, the body of the petitioner on the far right side of the altar froze, and a new magical light condensed on his right hand.

A dark gray shadow suddenly appeared in the mid-air behind him, and a sharp dagger appeared there, suddenly wiping it towards the petitioner's throat.

Ding~

A crisp buzz sounded, and Li Si's figure appeared behind the petitioner.
