Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 793 Evil Sacred Object

Although the non-stop update for Spirit Candle has been announced, it will still be some time before it arrives.

During this time, Rogge still has a lot to do.

The first step was to create a body for the soul he had retrieved from the assembly grounds.

Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about the rest; he could just leave it to Nonia to teach him, and then he could start working... Anyway, he couldn't just sit around doing nothing.

And what happened next was...

“Great…”

Upon seeing the shimmering blue sea before him, Gai Luo was overjoyed and was about to excitedly step forward to pledge his loyalty when, unexpectedly, several imprisoning pillars fell from above, firmly trapping him in the narrow seabed.

Roger glanced at him indifferently.

"From now on, your job will be to focus on manufacturing those software dependencies in this sea area. The fuel will be supplied regularly."

Upon hearing Roger's words...

A chill ran through Gai Luo's body instantly.

The other party really just wanted Him to keep providing software subservient and become a ruthless manufacturing machine!
How does this work? !

He's an evil god, isn't he?!
What could be more useful than this?

"No... Lord Candlelight! Great Candlelight, you can't do this to me... I have other uses! I can become your subordinate, serving you faithfully, even going through fire and water for you..."

Luo was only halfway through his sentence when he saw Rogge's cold gaze, and he immediately swallowed the rest of his words, remaining silent.

"If you don't accept it, you have another option."

"That is death."

Roger couldn't be bothered to waste words with Him.

If it weren't for the analysis revealing that the cost of the soft slime balls that the Candlelight creates is less than that of the opponent creating them directly, and if the players hadn't been more "concerned" about this Gairo, he wouldn't have bothered to spare the opponent's life.

Those who dare to take advantage of us will naturally face certain death.

He couldn't possibly go to great lengths to invite that good-for-nothing Gailo to be his honored guest, could he?

Upon hearing this, Gai Luo's original fantasy shattered instantly, leaving him feeling utterly gloomy.

He...he actually dared to treat me like this...to treat an evil god like this...showing absolutely no mercy...

How hateful!
However, on the surface, Gairo kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"My lord, I accept! I accept!"

"It is my greatest honor to be able to contribute to the cause of candlelight! I will certainly not let you down!"

Gai Luo said earnestly, and then quickly began to create software slaves and released them into the sea outside Candlelight Island, where they began their hard work.

His words made it sound as if Roger had assigned him some extraordinary and difficult task.

Roger ignored him and disappeared after making the arrangements.

He could guess a thing or two about Gai Luo's idea... it was just wishful thinking.

In his view, these evil gods are inherently flawed due to the nature of their "power path," meaning they themselves are susceptible to the influence of evil beliefs.

Take, for example, the Tyrant of Extreme Punishment. Before his death, he was a kind and righteous person. But after embarking on the path of evil faith, he was influenced by those extreme faith powers and directly became an irritable, easily angered, sensitive, suspicious, and mentally unstable evil god.

This was no exception for Giordano.

To act like a "god" in front of some soft-bodied beings and creatures with low ignition points is to make oneself look foolish.

This is probably why a bunch of the evil gods in the gathering place don't seem to be very bright...

It can only be said that in this burning world, the balance between gain and loss is almost ingrained in the fundamental logic of the world...

……

After doing all this.

The non-stop update for Spirit Candle arrived as scheduled at this time.

This is something many players have been eagerly anticipating.

After all, the most important thing is the update of the Spirit Candle Contribution Shop.

The players have just experienced a major battle and gained a lot of war contributions. They have money on hand and are just waiting for new items to be added to the shelves so they can make purchases.

And Rog did not disappoint the young players' expectations. After burning the evil god's corpses to ashes, he worked overtime to quickly bring out the new things and gadgets.

"Alright, let me see what's new in the Spirit Candle Shop this time..."

Li Miao rubbed his hands together, then eagerly opened the [Contribution Shop].

……

……

【The Shroud of Death (Epic)】

[Type: Special Weapon (Letter Cloth)]

[Price: 8000 War Contributions]

……

After reading the contents of this update to the Spirit Candle Contribution Shop.

Li Miao couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Why are most of these prayer skills?"

And it's quite expensive.

But then he thought about it again and found it quite reasonable, since most of the evil gods in this gathering place of evil gods fought using the power of faith.

The current update to Spirit Candle is based on this, so naturally the skills it provides are related to faith.

These prayers are generally of high quality, starting with the "Burning Spirit" level, so the price is naturally not low, but it's not outrageously expensive either. Some players who are dedicated to the fire can afford them if they work hard during wartime, so it's still reasonable.

However, besides the letter and prayers, there were also some practical items and weapons. Li Miao wasn't exactly broke; he just didn't have a huge need for them.

Moreover, Kenara can also pray.

Then there's fashion.

These costumes mostly feature the characteristics of evil gods, and after being modified by the spirit candle, they have become evil god costumes with the spirit candle's characteristics.

For example, the Extreme Punishment Tyrant's Extreme Punishment Execution Rack. It might not be considered cool... but it's definitely unique.

If you add some matching gear to complement it, it will definitely leave a deep impression.

Some players just like this one.

Of course, the most important and eye-catching item is the brand-new "Evil Relic" among these shop items.

"An evil holy artifact? What is this?"

Li Miao was somewhat surprised, then flipped through the relevant entries and suddenly seemed to understand something.

[Evil Relic: The crystallization of the power of heretical beliefs, possessing power similar to that of a celestial deity, but requiring a certain price to activate.]

[Note: An evil relic can only be used once per day, and heretical beliefs will not tolerate a half-hearted follower. It is best not to attempt to use two evil relics simultaneously.]

"Hiss...this thing's got something..."

Li Miao was extremely surprised.

……

A dedicated player base.

Cunning Frog: "How are the items in the Contribution Shop this time? Has anyone encountered any major pitfalls? Tell me about it?"

After seeing the frog's question.

He received a reply very quickly.

Gray Sky: "This Extreme Punishment Blood Thunder Prayer is quite good. It's fast to cast, deals high damage, and has a lock-on effect, so most monsters can't dodge it. The only downside is that it reduces health, but in reality, it doesn't reduce much, so it's not a problem for players."

Gray Sky: "As for this Shroud of Extreme Punishment... my advice is not to buy it. First, its effect is very difficult to activate, and there are relatively few application scenarios for its special skills. Its only advantage may be that its appearance is quite impressive. It's more of a toy."

Gray Sky: "That mushroom bag is a toy too, don't buy it."

Gray Sky: "As for the others, I haven't tried them yet."

Tianji shared his thoughts and experiences.

Subsequently, many players in the group expressed their gratitude or shared the practical effects of other prayer skills.

Then comes the highlight of this contribution store update.

Evil sacred object.

My son failed his exams while I passed: "What the hell is this evil artifact... a crystallization of the power of heretical beliefs... it looks incredibly powerful. (Scratching his head in confusion)"

Storyteller: "It's not just that it looks impressive; it really is impressive."

Storyteller: "Take that [Blood Flame Thundercloud] as an example. The most outrageous thing about this thing is that it can even enhance the effects of special items and keep locking onto a single target for punishment."

The storyteller said, "This means that some bosses and enemies who are hiding their true intentions will have nowhere to hide... Of course, this is just speculation. As for the actual effect and whether it will be affected by other factors, you will need to test it in actual combat."

The storyteller quickly realized the power of these "evil sacred objects" and expressed his guess.

The Scheming Frog: "Wow, that's expensive! Ten thousand war contribution points, and you can only use it once a day. This is nothing compared to the evil gods we've been fighting..."

The frog couldn't help but complain.

Other players in the group shared the same sentiment and echoed it.

However, most players understand that this thing is just an item, and a stripped-down version at that; it's already quite good that players can use it.

If it could be used an unlimited number of times, it would somewhat affect the game balance.

What they didn't know was that the reason this thing could only be used once a day was because of the mass production of Rogge, which meant that the power of the alien faith core within it accumulated slowly and could not support multiple uses.

The Evil Relic is essentially a product created by Rogue after analyzing the characteristics of the Evil God's power through candlelight. Of course, it cannot be used continuously like the Evil God, since it is, after all, the original.

Of course, this is the real reason.

If young players ask him about the Candlekeeper's head, he'll definitely tell them it's the ominous power of an evil god, and that using it too much will cause red hair to grow on your body...

My son failed his exams, but I got back on track: "Although the effect is strong, the price of this evil artifact seems to be quite high."

Black Mountain Demon: "This evil artifact that caused the girl's sobbing doesn't seem to come at a high price? It doesn't reduce my own status, and the effect is quite strong. Could it be used to get out of a tight spot? (Thinking)"

The storyteller quickly responded to the Black Mountain Demon's claim.

The storyteller said, "You probably didn't notice the word 'maybe,' which means this thing can fail if you're not careful, and if it fails, it's a pure buff to the enemy..."

Black Mountain Demon: "Ah, this..."

After the storyteller said that, he realized what was going on.

Imagine a player is in grave danger, surrounded by monsters, and pulls out the evil relic of a weeping girl in an attempt to escape, but fails...

The result can be imagined.

My son failed his exam while I passed: "666, it's time to test my luck again."

Miao Ge Doesn't Fail: "And this shrine of swirling mist... flesh and blood running away from home, is that even possible? (Trying not to laugh)"

"Time to eat mushrooms: Gairo, the soft-bodied evil god, dismisses this with disdain."

I did a push-up with a cow: "Hehe, He probably doesn't have the energy to show up, brothers, I've found Him!"

Venerable Liqun: "It seems that these evil sacred objects can be used directly without the need for war or anything like that?"

The Cunning Frog: "...What you're saying is ridiculous. If this thing could be driven by war or something, it would actually be a powerful weapon. (wiping sweat)"

Venerable Liqun: "It seems so..."

In fact, the needs for health, spirit, and faith are insignificant to players, since their potential is not particularly high, and they can recover their status by using recovery wax blocks.

However, this evil artifact is driven by a fixed cost, with no room for negotiation.
