Those new gods who have been promoted to gods in a hurry are particularly vulnerable because they are first-level gods and their error tolerance is too low.
If she simply wanted to condense the first-level godhead, she had already been able to do it in Darauma when she destroyed the root of the gods. Condensing the first-level godhead is not easy to say, but it is not too difficult to say, that is, it requires a lot of time. Thousands of devout believers who are willing to honor you as the Lord God - those pan-believers can also be counted, but ten, even dozens, or hundreds may not be able to match one. It mainly depends on how widespread these pan-believers are.
The God of Strategy itself has a certain base of believers, and Darauma had a population of more than 100,000 at the time. Even if only a few percent were converted, Ms. Strategy would be enough to benefit.
After the torment and fermentation of the conqueror's army, in addition to strengthening the faith of many people and transforming them from pan-believers into devout believers, it also allowed Ms. Strategy to completely leave Tethyr, and countless people knew about Ms. Strategy name, and fully understood her power, especially the army of conquerors themselves, all practicing her three core teachings. The divinity born out of them is beyond the belief of believers. As long as The deeds of the conqueror's army are still being sung, and some people are still doing business on the road of the conqueror. Her name is mentioned because of this, and she can continuously obtain faith from it. Although the quantity is relatively small, it is valuable. Continuously stable and has a lot to do with singing and walking.
Therefore, what Ms. Strategist has gathered now is not the first-level godhead, nor the second-level godhead, but the third-level godhead. Don’t think that the first-level godhead requires 10,000 devout believers, the second-level godhead requires 20,000, and the third-level godhead requires 30,000. That’s it. Simply add up, if this is the case, you underestimate the difference between the levels of the gods. The second level of godhood does only require 20,000, but the third level is not 30,000, but 40,000, and the fourth level is It's 80,000. For each level of godhood, the number of believers required is double that of the previous level. By the time the sixteenth level threshold of powerful divine power is reached, the number of devout believers required has exceeded 300 million. It is an astronomical number. The entire The total number of intelligent life forms in Faerûn is unknown.
Once you reach medium divine power (level 10-15 godhood) or above, if you want to improve your divine power, you can no longer rely solely on believers. You must also strengthen yourself through various other means, such as expanding the clerical field, such as going out from the local area, and Expand your own believers in the multiverse and become the gods of the multiverse, such as creating your own race, becoming the god of a certain race, promoting the expansion and development of this race, etc.
"It's just you?" A maddening roar came from the depths of the blood mist. "No matter how weak I am, the divine power I possess cannot be resisted by a weak divine power that has just been promoted. I will let you down today." Experience for yourself the power of destruction and the power of plunder. It is the innate desire of all people. It cannot be resisted by small plans and ridiculous strategies. Today, use the battlefield as a chess piece to decide who is the real one. The Lord of War, who is the most worthy of being respected?"
After finishing speaking, the blood mist gradually solidified from the shadow and appeared directly above the Bridge of Humans and Gods.
From the beginning, the predator Garagos did not target the goddess of strategy. Instead, after getting close to her, he used the connection between her and the believers to directly target the core subject of her ascension. With the help of the relationship between them, Contact and quickly arrive at the battlefield - how could Fengshen, the god of the war god system, have nothing to do with war?
Normally, there is no way for the incarnation of Garagos to enter the material plane without a large number of sacrifices and prayers.
But now, the goddess of strategy is ascending to the gods, and she is still centered on the army of conquerors. The most important thing is that opposite the army of conquerors, there is an army of monsters, an army that comes with the purpose of plundering and destroying. It became the reason and opportunity for him to intervene.
He dragged this war into a divine war between himself and Ms. Strategy.
Garagos was the former God of War. Before being defeated by Tempus, he had powerful divine power and was the top god in Faerûn.
The current believers of the Reavers insist that it was not Tempus, the throne-stealer, who defeated and destroyed their god, but Garagos himself. The rage in his heart was exploited by Tempus, the despicable villain, and he was unscrupulous. He used his devout followers to wage all-out wars, both against his enemies and among his own people, resulting in the death of a large number of his devout followers and causing him to fall into weakness. Some of his followers, under the bewitchment of Tempus, joined him. The ranks of believers ultimately led to the fall and destruction of Garagos.
But in this world, as long as there is war, he will not be completely destroyed, because as long as there is war, there will be plunder and destruction, and this is the violent side of war that he represents as a plunderer.
But now, those who dominate the continent of Faerun are not the intelligent races, but the monster races. What they are proficient in is destruction and plunder. They are all natural believers of his plunderers, so even if they are destroyed After one time, he still has the weak peak of divine power (level five godhead).
According to the level of godhood, the gods are roughly divided into quasi-gods, weak divine power, weak divine power, medium divine power and strong divine power.
A quasi-god is a demigod who has not yet condensed his own godhead.
The weak divine power is level 1-5, the weak divine power is level 6-10, the medium divine power is level 11-15, the strong divine power is level 16-20, and the divine power is level 21 or above, then it belongs to the god above gods. Such an existence, It has gone beyond the scope of mortal knowledge and understanding. Even among the gods, only the powerful ones have a partial understanding of it. Most of them remain silent and do not talk to anyone or gods, as if they do not exist.
After the predator appeared in the sky above the battlefield, he floated directly to the core of the battlefield, the west bridge entrance of the Bridge of Humans and Gods where corpses were strewn.
It’s a long story, but in fact, from the time Ms. Stratagem began to become a god to the time when the incarnation of Garagos the Predator appeared above the battlefield, it only took a few minutes. The battle between the army of conquerors and the army of monsters did not stop at all.
Especially when the incarnation of Garagos appeared, fanatical cheers came from the monster army, and countless war priests and war chiefs sang songs of plunder and danced war dances. Many tribes among them, The god of war they worship is not Tempus but a plunderer. They hope that he can protect them and plunder more wealth, making them invincible and invincible in the plundering war.
A large amount of blood floated out directly from the battlefield and merged into the blood mist of the predator. Like a fallen blood rain, the blood mist surrounding him turned into a sea of blood in the blink of an eye.
The voice of the plunderer Garagos came from the depths of the Blood Sea again, "From now on, you are my God's chosen and favored supreme plunderer, leading my plundering army to win this war for me. Kill all the people, loot all the wealth, and destroy everything that can be destroyed."
A streak of blood mist shot directly out of the sea of blood and penetrated deep into the monster army.
Ouch!
A roar of extreme pain came from the depths of the monster army, but there was also excitement that could not be concealed.
With the injection of blood mist, the figure began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, three meters, four meters, five meters, six meters, six and a half meters.
This is a hobgoblin warlord whose body is covered with various battle scars. He was originally only 2.2 meters tall, but now he has tripled his height. This far exceeds the height of most giants and has directly reached a super large size. Only the cloud giants and storm giants can compare with him. The muscles all over his body are bulging to an exaggerated degree, and there is a feeling that they will explode at any time. Compared with him, the hobgoblin giants on the conqueror's army have become incomparable. A true halfling.
And this was just the beginning. As the blood mist surged, thick arms emerged from where his arms had been. There were exactly six of them, and broken and twisted weapons flew from the ground. They stood up, fused in the air, and pieced together a series of super large one-handed weapons. None of these weapons were the same. They looked weird and broken, just like a pile of rags, but no one dared to doubt them. The power, especially when the holder is a terrifying hobgoblin that looks like a three-story building.
There are also six arms, but this Predator God's Choice is somewhat different from the six-armed snake demon.
The six arms of the six-armed snake demon are evenly distributed from top to bottom, and are very symmetrical to the left and right, maximizing the attack surface.
The arms of this Predator God's Chosen swarmed out from the normal arm position, squeezing and overlapping each other. They are thick and strong, but they give people an extremely uncoordinated feeling. When they really attack, I'm afraid They will hinder each other, and it will be difficult to achieve the terrifying attack speed of the six-armed snake demon with six swords.
In the transformation of this Predator God's Choice, Garagos once again issued a wild cry that enveloped the entire battlefield: "Bow to me, call my name, launch a sacred war of plunder in my name, and awaken the slaughter everywhere. and plunder, I will give you the power to become the ultimate master and win this war."
"Garagos, Lord of War, we will wage war in your name. This war is called plunder, and it is called destruction. Give me strength, and I will win the war for you."
"Garagos the Predator, from today on, you are our master, and all our wars will be waged in your name. Please protect us and make us invincible."
"Master of Hundred Weapons, please grant me the ability to use all weapons. I will become your sharpest sword on the battlefield."
"Predator, please grant me strength."
"Garagos! Garagos! Garagos!"
Countless fanatical cheers came from the monster army. Witnessing the God of Strategy consecrating the gods in front of them, the entire monster army was shaken from top to bottom. Many of them retreated for a while. That was a group that got How can an army protected by a god continue to fight this war?
But the appearance of Garagos the Predator directly gave them a shot in the arm, especially the act of promoting God's Chosen in public, which further stimulated these monsters. Pursuing powerful power is their lifelong dream, and now there is a living The example is before them, and there is no faster way than this. As for whether it will become a tool for Garagos to launch a divine war, who has the energy to think about it at this moment.
Along with the fervent shouts, streaks of blood mist shot down from the sea of blood and fell into the monster army. The waves of pain mixed with excited howls came from them.
The figures grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the arms stretched out from their original positions. The situation was very similar to that of the Predator God's Chosen, but regardless of the size of the body or the number of arms that grew, It's not as exaggerated as the God's Choice. Most of them have doubled in size, as if they had cast a giant-transformation spell, and most of them have an extra pair of arms.
What's more, the body size has become tens of centimeters taller, his eyes have become red, burning with endless anger and rage, wanting to tear everything apart, with a heartfelt hunger for blood, and a ray of blood is wrapped around his body. The blood mist, from a distance, looks like a blood-colored cloak. This is the exclusive skill of the Blood Marauder who has fallen into a violent state - the exclusive sacrifice of the Marauder Garagos.
This ability not only allows the user to enter a violent state similar to that of a barbarian, but also makes the user immune to various control spells, such as charm monsters, hypnosis, intimidation, command, etc., and will kill enemies as they go. Secondly strengthen the power you have gained and increase the duration of this spell.
The only flaw…
It had already started when these people gained the blood rage ability.
I saw them raising their knives and directly killing the monsters around them who failed to get blood. A large amount of blood spurted out from the corpses of those monsters. That kind of spurt was definitely not pumped out by themselves, but from outside. The powerful magic power is pumping them out.
This is also true. Part of the blood that spurted out was absorbed by the blood predators, making the muscles on their bodies bulge even more exaggerated. The veins and blood vessels were like snakeskin tubes, bulging high from underneath the muscles. Their eyes were red, as if The hot coals were about to spurt out, but most of the blood still gathered behind them, making the blood cloaks behind them more solid, as if they were real.
If the Blood Reavers had used this ability, it would have been impossible for them to be so evil. But now that the Predator Garagos has used it himself regardless of the cost, it is naturally extraordinary, because he has integrated the divine power of plunder and destruction into this spell.
Therefore, the divine blood rage only gave them a high degree of bloodthirsty and the ability to manipulate blood, but it did not allow them to transform into bloodthirsty beasts that would completely lose control at the slightest smell of blood.
These blood plunderers raised their knives and started killing while shouting: "In the name of Garagos, this is a sacrifice to you. I believe that peace belongs to weak fools. War makes all participants strong. Only Face-to-face confrontation is honorable. Only cowards will avoid fighting. Anyone who knocks down the enemy through ambush or behind should be despised as a coward and never consider retreat as an option. Therefore, use your actual actions to prove that you are not You are not a weak son of a bitch, prove that you are strong and worthy of the divine power Garagos bestows on you. Come on, give all your soul and glory to Garagos."
These newly transformed Blood Reavers directly transformed into the battle supervisors of the monster army, driving the monsters that had not been transformed by Garagos, and once again charged towards the front of the conqueror's army.
Looking at the distribution of the Blood Reavers, we know that the Predator Garagos is not completely a brainless idiot. They are divided into two parts.
Part of it formed a huge semicircle, surrounding the entire monster army to prevent them from collapsing in the back and escaping. Their killings were relatively light, and they were only aimed at those who were obviously weak, or who saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape away from them. This is a typical execution on the battlefield.
The other part was in the shape of a line, densely distributed in front of the formation. Most of the people they killed were those who were seriously injured and showed fear and fear. This was obviously to boost morale. They had fought against the conqueror army before and could not attack for a long time. However, they suffered heavy casualties and their morale was already a bit broken.
Stimulated by real blood and death, those monster soldiers were completely dominated by the fear of the Blood Reaver and Predator Garagos. They screamed and launched another attack on the conqueror's army, more than any previous ones. They have to be fierce at every turn, and they have to be brave and unafraid of death, because those Blood Reavers are scattered among them, charging with them. Those who run a little slowly are directly chopped to the ground by their swords. This is the Predator Garagos. The most common method is to fight fear with fear.
The Predator Garagos has never cared about the life or death of his followers. He didn't care before, and he doesn't care now anymore, because there are not many devout believers among them at all. They are just weapons he uses to attack Lady Strategy's followers, as long as they can attack them. When Ms. Strategy's followers cause enough casualties, they have realized their greatest life value. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, those blood predators who have been infused with divine blood and violent rage will undoubtedly die, because this ability will continue forever. It burns with blood. When it cannot draw blood from others, it will use the blood of the person concerned as fuel until its own blood is exhausted.
While Garagos the Predator was preparing an army for himself, Ms. Strategy, who had just been promoted to an official god, was not idle either. She began to strengthen her army and believers. A sacred light fell directly from the sky and fell on Gavin. He said with a voice that resounded throughout the world: "Gavin Nott, you have implemented my way of war with practical actions. Although you have never chanted my name and respected me as your main god, your achievements cannot be No reward, now I officially promote you as my chosen one, and you don’t need to pray to me, nor do you need to respect me as the Lord God, but you can use my power, are you willing to accept it?”
