Chapter 183: Promotion to the sixth ring, the form of the immortal king, Deya’s mythical power!
In the Third Cathedral, after Kirkadi II died, Deya took a deep breath. He looked at Patricia who was sitting on his shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Patricia, help me get promoted."
Patricia, the Dark Moon girl who appeared in the form of a puppet, nodded slightly.
Without seeing her make any movement, Deya suddenly found that a powerful force was coming from the spine of the goddess in his hand.
This power rushed into his mind and covered his soul. In an instant, Deya's soul seemed to have been infinitely sublimated.
What he saw with his eyes was no longer everything in the material world, but a strange and bizarre new world composed of energy and rules.
In that new world, he seemed to see the truth and reality of the world, and the overall structure of the entire world.
The soul continued to ascend, and soon Deya found that he had reached the peak.
It is as if this world is covered by a huge pot lid, and inside this pot lid is everything in the material world, the world in which people live.
And above that is a different world similar to the spirit, which is completely opposite to the material world.
At the border between the material world and the higher outflowing world, Deya's soul saw nine huge holes.
His soul told him that he could choose one of these nine great voids at any time to become his passage to the outflow world, thereby gaining power beyond the material world, that is, the power of myth.
But at this moment, Patricia's voice rang out in the depths of Deya's soul: "Don't choose any of the nine mythical powers."
Deya's heart moved, and he asked, "Is there a problem with these nine mythical powers?"
Deya wondered, could it be that the nine righteous gods had opened this path, and would anyone who chose these nine mythical powers be restricted by them?
If this is true, then the nine righteous gods are far more powerful than he imagined.
Because in this world, almost all extraordinary professionals choose one of these nine mythical powers when they are promoted to the sixth ring.
The only people Deya knew of who possessed powers other than these nine myths were the priests of the Church of Dawn and the witch Lamia.
Patricia chuckled and said, “I know what you are thinking, but your guess is wrong. The nine gods cannot control these nine passages to the outflow world at all.
These nine channels of mythical power are merely their symbols, not the power they control.
The reason why I asked you not to choose them is not because it would be dangerous to choose them, but because you have better choices. "
After a pause, Patricia continued, "...I can open up a mythological path that belongs only to you. The mythological power of this path is more suitable for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, outside of the nine righteous divine passages sensed by Deya's soul, a relatively narrower road suddenly appeared.
In Deya's perception, the power of that path is closer to 'The Singer of Silence' and 'The Power of the Dark Moon'.
Considering what Patricia had said before, that half of the Singer of Silence's divine essence was in her hands, Deya suspected that this path was specially prepared for him by the Dark Moon Goddess.
“I don’t know how a mortal can become a god. I was born a god, not a mortal who ascended to the throne step by step.
But based on the principles of promotion, I can roughly guess the feasible route for mortals to become gods, and what I am preparing for you now is exactly this feasible route."
Patricia's gentle words echoed deep in Deya's soul.
He also believed that Patricia would not harm him because they were both in the same boat. Only when Deya became stronger and stronger could the Goddess of Dark Moon be resurrected again.
This time, Deya did not have any extra thoughts. His soul rushed directly into the narrow passage, using the power of the dark moon and death to construct his own mythical power.
Inadvertently, Deya felt that his soul broke through the limitations of the material world and came to a new world.
In this world, he can sense the existence of countless spirits.
These spirits do not have any entity, they are essentially just the concept of spirit.
However, after these spirits came into contact with the power of the nine righteous gods, they turned into celestial creatures, demons, natural tree spirits, undead creatures and other creatures.
The so-called mythical power is the power that enables the "spirit" to have the ability to influence the material world. Because this power comes from a higher level, it transcends the strength of mortals.
Deya's soul did not stay in the outflow world for too long, and soon his consciousness and soul returned.
[You have upgraded from '5th ring' to '6th ring']
[Please select from the following 'specialties']
[Please choose your own mythical power: Undead King (fixed)]
"..."
Deya looked at the prompts on his panel. This time he did not choose a specialty related to summoning, but chose 'Necromancy Specialization'.
This expertise can increase the offensiveness of necromancy. For Deya now, his expertise in summoning creatures is already almost enough. What he needs to do next is to improve his own strength.
As for the choice of mythical power, as a perfect promotion, Deya can theoretically choose it at will.
But in the promotion process just now, Deya followed Patricia's advice and directly chose the separate path of mythical power that she had opened up for herself.
Therefore, Deya's mythical power is in a 'fixed' form.
"Is this path of mythical power called the Undead King?"
Deya thought to himself.
I didn't expect that the name of this road of mythical power is exactly the same as my nickname.
[Undead King: You can cast the Undead King form and transform into a huge undead creature. During the undead creature stage, you can be immune to all negative effects such as fear and poisoning, and gain powerful attack and defense capabilities.]
After reaching the sixth ring, apart from the various powerful abilities gained from his expertise, Deya was actually not much different from other sixth-ring warriors.
For example, if Deya activates the power of myth, it can only last for 5 minutes, after which the power of myth will disappear.
But now Deya is far superior to the average six-ring strongman. It is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible below the eighth ring.
Because in addition to the mythical power they possess, the undead creatures of Deya's heroic template can also use the goddess' spine in their hands to gain mythical power.
Now Deya truly possesses the strength of one person equivalent to that of an army!
"Promotion successful?"
When Deya opened his eyes, Patricia asked knowingly.
Deya laughed and said, "Successful. I have obtained the power of myth."
Then, he looked at Lamia and Mavis with a gentle gaze and said softly, "Thank you for helping me stop Kirkadi II."
The two witches looked at each other and shook their heads.
At this time, Mavis, in her witch form, looked at Patricia and asked tentatively, "Dark Moon Goddess?"
Although Patricia doesn't look any different in appearance today, both her tone and temperament exude a sense of calm and superiority.
Combined with some information revealed in her conversation with Deya just now, Mavis had an idea.
Patricia snorted softly, "You are a very perceptive witch."
This answer undoubtedly acknowledged his identity.
Mavis said meaningfully: "Interesting, I chose to follow you, Deya. This is really the right choice. I never thought that one day I would be able to see a living god."
Mavis' beautiful emerald eyes were filled with excitement and a desire to explore.
Only then did Deya remember that the witch Mavis was a mage, and like all mages, she had a strong desire to study the unknown.
It’s just that Mavis’s charm was so deeply rooted in people’s minds that Deya even forgot her identity as a magician.
"Take back your blasphemous thoughts."
Patricia said in a condescending tone.
In fact, she was also a little panicked inside.
Deya was promoted to the sixth ring, and she could also exert the strength of the sixth ring, but the witch Mavis was a real eighth-ring magician.
If Mavis really wanted to conduct some research on her, Patricia found that she seemed unable to escape.
Mavis didn't say much about this. She said sleepily, "I'm a little tired. I won't be around for a while. Deya, you better be careful.
You have now been promoted to the sixth ring. If you want to continue to be promoted, you must go to the Okaner continent. When you reach that continent, I will wake up again.
The Year of the Feminine is about to pass, and I finally don’t have to hide like this anymore.”
After all,
Mavis's body was swaying, as if she was about to fall asleep at any moment.
When she opened her eyes again, her charming temperament became much purer, and Mavis in the posture of a saint replaced her.
As the saint of the Church of Destiny, she also looked at Patricia with curiosity. Just as another her said, being able to see God with one's own eyes was a miracle in itself.
Lamia frowned, even though she had doubted Patricia's identity when she chatted with Deya in private.
But when she really knew that Patricia was the legendary goddess, her mood was extremely complicated. She had quarreled with this goddess countless times before, and now that she knew her identity, Lamia could hardly have any respect for her.
Patricia raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Witch, if you kneel before me and beg me now, perhaps I can forgive your past blasphemous behavior."
Hearing Patricia's triumphant words, Lamia felt relieved.
Patricia is still Patricia, she hasn't changed at all.
Lamia hesitated for a moment and asked, "You are... replacing Patricia?"
She was not clear about the relationship between the puppet Patricia and the Dark Moon Goddess. Was she a daughter or a clone?
But no matter what, if the Dark Moon Goddess's consciousness awakened and took the lead, does this mean that Patricia's consciousness disappeared?
Or is the Dark Moon Goddess at this moment just like Mavis, divided into two consciousnesses?
The Dark Moon puppet chuckled and said, "I know what you are doubting. Your doubts are unnecessary because Patricia is me, and I am Patricia. From the beginning, there has only been me."
Deya then asked curiously: "Your name is Patricia?"
The puppet whispered, "This is my name. The Patricia you know is not my daughter nor my clone. She is me.
Initially, I discovered this 'forbidden wonder', it was just a pure puppet without consciousness.
Just like the nine righteous gods were unable to descend to this land, I also had some problems at the time and was unable to perform the divine descent.
Therefore, I made some modifications to this forbidden artifact, attached a part of my consciousness to it, and appeared in the Dark Night Church as a "daughter", as my physical body in the human world.
In order to transform this forbidden object, I studied it for a long time. It is indeed a forbidden object. Even attaching consciousness to it is so difficult. "
At the end, Patricia complained.
Deya finally understood that Patricia, who had always been regarded as a messenger of God by the Dark Moon Church, was actually the goddess herself.
"Then you used this identity to go to the Church of Silence and steal 'Beyond Death'."
Deya's right hand shook, revealing a ring on his finger.
Patricia smiled and said, "Well, I used this doll's body to snatch the ring."
Deya finally understood how the Dark Moon Church managed to snatch the holy relics from the Silent Church since the Dark Moon Church had no masters above the seventh ring.
If this was done by the goddess herself, then everything would be explained.
"After that, my real body fell, but I didn't expect that the consciousness attached to the doll would become the guarantee for my return. This allowed me to return earlier than 'Dawn'."
The puppet of Dark Moon expressed her feelings. Even the goddess herself did not expect that her unintentional action would actually bring about a great benefit.
Deya looked at Patricia, who had a rather eccentric personality. This Dark Moon Goddess did not have that kind of illusory divinity at all.
Is this her character as a god, or is it because her current strength is too weak that her humanity outweighs her divinity?
No, you can't think like that, because you don't know what the God of this world looks like.
Maybe the God of this world is not a ruthless God?
Lamia also sighed in her heart, it turned out that the doll she had always quarreled with and regarded as a friend was actually a real goddess.
But Lamia doesn't care about these. So what if she is a goddess? She is just a puppet whose strength may be even inferior to hers.
Patricia's true identity did not cause any commotion.
Or maybe it was that Lamia and Mavis were too special, and they had no fear of God.
Deya said at this time: "Cavendish Territory is still besieged by Rex Garcia's army. Although I have made a declaration to all the Dawn believers before, it may not be useful to Rex."
Because Rex is a druid, he is not a priest of the Church of Dawn.
The scepter in Deya's hand could not take back Rex's power.
"I need to gather my strength immediately and head to Cavendish Territory!"
Before, Deya was unable to provide support to his family's territory due to various reasons.
Now that most of the things are over, Deya is ready to return to the territory.
I hope my father and brother don’t die in the territory because I failed to provide them with support. That would be too filial piety!
Deya left Patricia and a few others there to rest and chat, while he acted quickly.
Today, Deya has been promoted to the sixth ring, and the number of his hero template contracted creatures has reached 6.
After possessing the Goddess's Spine, Deya's requirements for the hero template undead creatures also changed. In addition to dragons, he now only requires undead creatures that were believers of the Goddess of Dawn in their lifetime.
Back in the auditorium, in the coffins inside the auditorium were the bodies of the popes, who were all priests of the Seven Rings during their lifetime.
In the past, Deya had always coveted the corpses worshipped by the church, but because they were all kept in the cathedral as saints, Deya never had the chance to get them.
And in this auditorium is the body of Susaytani I, which Deya has always been thinking about. Now it has become his trophy.
Back in the auditorium, Deya saw Monroe of the Inquisition leaning against the corner, having committed suicide.
His body was slumped on the ground with a long sword stuck in his chest. He was paying for his sins by committing suicide.
Deya sighed softly, walked to Monroe's body, and prayed for him in the name of the Son of the Goddess.
Then, a smile appeared on Deya's lips.
I was just in need of a corpse, and here came the best one!
Monroe was a believer of the Goddess of Dawn during his lifetime, and he was also a seven-ring swordsman, which is one of the best professions in a one-on-one fight!
If the power of myth is added, a sword master can greatly enhance his strength when fighting outside the legion.
After praying for Monroe, Deya immediately prepared for the ceremony. Since you cannot pay for your sins during your lifetime, pay for them after you die!
As Deya chanted the words of God, Monroe's body soon turned into ashes and transformed into a swordsman in a black robe, as strange as a ghost!
[Ringwraith Swordmaster]
[Level: Level 79 (Seventh Ring)]
[Skills: Swordsmanship proficiency, critical strike, insight into weaknesses, fatal strike, etc.]
"..."
When Deya saw Monroe resurrected in the form of an undead, whose level was the highest at the current stage, he was stunned.
He quickly looked at his panel and found that all the hero template undead creatures he possessed had reached the highest level in this stage!
"Is it because they evolved as I advanced to the sixth ring?"
Deya murmured to himself, but his hands moved quickly.
Deya terminated the contract with the witch and the dragon-feasting lich without any regret or hesitation.
Then he signed the two empty contracts with Sussets I and a Pope respectively.
No one knows which generation of Deia that Pope was, but he was killed by Kirkadi II.
At this time, Deya's six heroic template undead creatures were: Dragon of Death, Bone Dragon, Susetani I, King Inglo, Undead Swordmaster and Pope of the Dead.
Except for the Death Dragon which is still being sealed, Deya now has a dragon, two knights, a swordsman and a priest.
The remaining four undead creatures, except the bone dragon, all gained mythical power.
However, their mythical powers have nothing to do with the dawn. After all, it is impossible for undead creatures to use the light of dawn that would kill themselves.
It was at Patricia's reminder that Deya converted the power of dawn into the power of dark moon, and bestowed this power associated with death on these undead creatures.
Beside Deya, there were four undead creatures, all wearing black, ghostly robes. Their figures were as illusive as the underworld, strange and powerful.
Their postures are all those of the Ringwraiths, and they can be said to be a Ringwraith guard that possesses mythical power and protects themselves!
In addition, Deya himself possesses the power of six rings, and now his strength is stronger than ever before.
A 7th-ring druid who can transform into a dragon? That's bullshit. I'm going to let you know what true power is!
After completing the transformation of the undead, Deya did not go directly to Cavendish Territory.
Deya couldn't bear the sight of the Third Cathedral and the corpses nearby.
He immediately started to get busy, and it took him another half a day to collect all the nearby corpses into his own negative energy space.
Mavis and Lamia shook their heads as they watched Deya throw the undead creatures in the negative energy space to the outside world while collecting the corpses.
If they didn't know that Deya simply regarded these corpses as part of his own power, they would have suspected that Deya had a strong necrophilia.
The corpses near the Third Cathedral are so outstanding. They were the most elite troops of England when they were alive.
With the addition of this batch of corpses, as long as Deya is given some more time, he will be able to refine an army of 60,000 people, a real army composed of undead creatures above the fourth ring!
At this time, Deya could finally announce that his Necromancer had been perfected. The next step was to improve his strength step by step without any preparation!
After packing all the corpses, Deya selected some corpses of extraordinary professionals. After thinking for a while, he used the undead refining array to fuse these corpses together and refined them into several flying dragons!
The basic material of these flying dragon corpses is a specialty of the Limerick Mountains, and Deya had never used it before.
Compared to real dragons, flying dragons are just a kind of dragon beast and do not have much intelligence.
But what Deya needs is not the strength of these flying dragons, but their innate instinct - flying!
Deya's four Ringwraiths all rode on flying dragons, while he himself sat on a bone dragon, letting them surround him for protection.
Deya felt that he finally had the aura of a big boss.
"Let's go to Cavendish Territory!"
With all preparations made, Deya was in high spirits and gave orders loudly.
A huge bone dragon soared into the sky with a dragon roar. Four Ringwraiths followed him on flying dragons and headed west to Cavendish.
After killing the druid and resolving the family crisis, Deya will directly defeat Susaitani and completely unify this continental island!
