Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 213 The Secret of Priesthood and Authority
"Is this authority?!"

Quetzalcoatl, who witnessed this scene, cried out in surprise, seeming a little unable to believe it.

"How is it possible that I can touch the power of authority without becoming a legend?"

"Authority?" Nemesis was quite surprised. He knew very well that the Distorted Eye came from an evil god from another world, but like the Infinity Stones, the existence of the throne involved too many things, and he instinctively didn't want others to know.

"Does your body suffer damage every time you use this power?" Quetzalcoatl said in a certain tone.

Nemesis was a little surprised. Every time he used the Distorted Eye, his eyes would bleed and his vision would become blurred.

Just like now, after he had just destroyed a legend with the power of distortion, the blood flowing from his eyes had covered his entire face, flowing down in large streams, looking quite terrifying.

"So-called authority is the other side of the same coin as the priesthood."

“The difference between priesthood and authority is like the difference between farmland and farmers.”

"The priesthood is the foundation of the gods' existence in the world. Relying on the priesthood, the gods can absorb the concepts and beliefs related to their priesthood."

"But as a god, in addition to relying on the priesthood to gather the power of faith, he also possesses the means to influence the priesthood definition, which is authority."

"The god of the sun can hide the sun in darkness, the god of spring can remove spring from the four seasons, and the god of love can make people crazy about love. These are all the functions of priesthood under the subjective influence of the gods. This is authority."

"Under normal circumstances, only when you reach the pinnacle of legend, which is what you mortals call level 40, will you have the opportunity to come into contact with traces of authority. Only when you comprehend the legend of authority will you have the opportunity to become a quasi-god."

"There is no god in this world without priesthood and authority, even a quasi-god."

"But I've never seen a mortal who hasn't reached the legendary level yet can master the power of authority. This is a good thing for you. At least you have crossed the biggest hurdle to becoming a quasi-god in the future."

Nemesis suddenly realized that this so-called authority was actually what the gods could do within the scope of their duties.

The evil god from another world is naturally good at distorting everything, and this power of distortion naturally belongs to the power of authority.

"But why do you know that I will suffer physical damage when I use this so-called power of authority?"

Nemesis asked impatiently. This matter had been bothering him. Because of this side effect, his Twisted Eye had a long cooling time. If it could be solved, his combat power would be greatly improved.

Quetzalcoatl chuckled and said, "Because you are not qualified to use your authority."

"The priesthood is a conceptual existence, something far beyond the imagination of mortals. Authority is the other side of the same coin, and so is it."

"To activate such a powerful force, you must possess energy beyond the mortal world. The magic power and spiritual energy that mortals rely on are nothing but tasteless chicken ribs to it. This is why you will be damaged when using it. It is absorbing your vitality to make up for the cost of using the power of authority."

Nemesis' pupils shrank. He used the Distorted Eye relying on the red distorted psychic energy, which was the power used by the evil god from another world. Was it still not enough?
"What kind of power can activate authority without cost? I really can't imagine it."

Nemesis stopped talking halfway. He remembered that he had seen that kind of energy before.

"It seems you have seen this before," Quetzalcoatl chuckled.

"That's right. It is a force that is condensed from countless beliefs and possesses incredible omnipotence - the true divine power. This is the foundation on which the gods rely to drive their authority."

"There are tens of thousands of priesthoods in the multiverse. If it is not the true power of God that possesses omnipotence, what other power can satisfy the needs of the gods to exercise their various powers?"

Nemesis sighed, it turned out to be real divine power. It seemed that his plan to remove the influence of the Eye of Distortion would fail.

He is not even a legend, and true divine power is too far away from him. "I see."

After explaining the secrets behind the priesthood and authority to Nemesis, Quetzalcoatl disappeared without a trace.

Nemesis was grateful for this. If He had not come forward to explain it, this secret that only existed among gods would probably be impossible to find anywhere.

The memory inheritance of the Volume Dragon is already the most extensive among the true dragons, but they still know nothing about this.

There is an invisible gap between gods and mortals.

He turned his head to look at the place where Duzulla II had been before. Thousands of flesh and blood force field tentacles had dissipated under his will, leaving only a gorgeous giant hammer that fell to the ground.

He picked it up, and the huge hammer that originally looked majestic became as small as a toothpick under his dragon claws.

After thinking about it, he swallowed it into his stomach without synchronization.

This weapon is not suitable for him as a dragon, and he has already chosen a master for him in the future.

Guerrero, the gifted boy.

Even the general he admired regarded him as his master, so it was only natural for him to submit to him.

As his own subordinate, he is naturally a part of his combat power. It would be more suitable for this artifact to be in his hands.

As for Anleston Duzura
He glanced at the other person and shook his head.

Although Quetzalcoatl is his ally, he has a cold nature and will never trust a priest wholeheartedly.

He knew very well that faith could change a person. Even if King Tujula XVI respected him at that moment, if one day he went against his faith, he would follow his faith without hesitation.

The divine weapon that can release legendary magic should be placed in the hands of trusted followers.

Without delay, after Nemesis swallowed the artifact, he immediately rushed to the cave where Duzula II appeared.

He has not forgotten his greatest trophy this time, a ray of divinity!
What’s different is that as the chosen one of the Sun God, Nemesis obtained the “Gem of All Things” in the underground tomb, which contained the divinity of Tezca!
This made Nemesis feel troubled.

If this divine power still belonged to Zaltek, he had already planned to create another divine weapon.

But now that it belonged to Tezca, he began to think about upgrading the White Magic Staff.

Zaltek's divinity tends towards evil, flesh, and darkness, and many spells will not undergo any significant changes in this direction.

Tezca is different. He is the god who controls the sun, fire, and tyranny, and has a visible enhancement to the power-shaping spells.

He can also create a new artifact that also has the function of deifying spells, but the special thing about the White Magic Staff is that it has the function of converting spell slots into deified spells.

This kind of function is hard to come by, and no artifact has exactly the same function. He cannot guarantee that the new artifact will also have this ability.

In fact, the abilities of most artifacts are randomly generated under the influence of the magic network.

The caster can only determine the birth of one or two abilities through the selection of materials and runes, but special abilities such as the White Magic Wand's ability to charge mythological spells are often a matter of luck.
