Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Aisha asked.

Tricia was now quickly examining Madeleine's body, and she frowned slightly.

"It's strange, her soul is asleep."

Tricia said, leaning down slightly and casting a blue magic seal on Madeleine.

"It's not some kind of seal, and she doesn't have any injuries. It's just that her soul hasn't adapted to her body yet. Both her body and soul have gained immense power, but they've also been temporarily separated from each other, like a child growing up overnight. She probably can't control her body yet, so she can't wake up. Fortunately, there shouldn't be any danger. But to be on the safe side, I need to ask that Star God."

Tricia said, and then her eyes swept across the rubble-covered ruins platform, finally landing on the black straight sword in Aisha's hand.

"It's inside the sword."

Here, the only thing that Tricia couldn't see through was the black sword - because the black sword was currently held in Elsa's hand, and the powerful magic repulsion prevented Tricia's magic vision from extending into the interior of the black sword.

Tricia was very sure that this black sword must be a sacred-level weapon.

"Elsa, can you show it to me?"

Elsa handed the black sword to Tricia. As soon as Tricia took it, a faint breath surged out from the black sword, and then the shadow of the "Star God" appeared in front of Tricia - but compared with the Star God she saw just now, the shadow of the Star God at this time looked very hazy and faint, like a layer of mist that would dissipate with the wind.

"Gulu gulu..."

After the Star God appeared, he kept looking at Madeleine and made a bubbling sound.

Elsa still couldn't understand what the Star God said, but she could tell that the Star God now looked weak, and his voice was much lower and hoarse than before.

Indeed, the Star God is now exhausted - she is a pure soul body. She is attached to the black sword and has survived to this day by relying on the power of the black sword. When she is sleeping inside the black sword, she can also sense the situation outside through the black sword.

But in just a few short breaths, she experienced for the first time what the end of the world meant - the moment Elsa grasped the black sword, the shadow of the black sword she released was immediately cut off and wiped out, and her consciousness was forced back into the sword by a completely unstoppable terrifying force, and then the entire black sword suddenly turned into an airtight, solid and heavy prison, and it was a prison with thorns. The prison tightened layer by layer inwards under the pressure of a force she had never seen before, causing her great pain.

Then at some point, the black sword suddenly let out a piercing roar, which was like the collapse of heaven and earth to the Star God within the black sword. The sword body almost broke directly in half under the terrifying force, and the terrifying pressure reflected on her was a direct crushing pressure. Her soul was almost strangled by the pressure of the sharp cage.

When her consciousness left the black sword again, she had completely lost all hope - her soul was on the verge of breaking, so after she stretched out the black sword, she didn't dare to move at all. She was trembling with fear and fear, and could only make a "gurgling" sound, because she had very little strength left and could no longer maintain mental communication.

Only Tricia actively read the faint thoughts she released and communicated in this way.

"Hmph, if the hero cannot wake up, you will sleep here forever."

Tricia's first words made the Star God shudder.

She murmured a few times, wanting to cry but unable to.

Tricia shook her head.

"Tell me, how do you wake up the hero? Also, who are you, and what is your purpose in targeting the hero?"

427. Piety is cracked

"Gulu gulu..."

The Star God made an innocent sound of blowing bubbles. Tricia looked at this phantom that was neither undead nor elf with a stern gaze, and communicated with it through her thoughts.

No one knew what they were saying to each other.

"Master Serra," Diouf whispered beside Serra, "will we be executed?"

Serra glanced at Diouf - Diouf's eye sockets were dark and his expression was listless, as if he hadn't slept for several days.

Could the collapse of faith be such a huge blow to a person? Sera had never experienced this feeling, because her faith in the goddess was far less devout than those believers, and she was very self-aware of this.

"Why? I thought you weren't actually afraid of death."

Sera joked, rubbing her arm - the injury on her arm hadn't healed yet and it still hurt.

Diouf seemed choked by Serra's nonchalant attitude.

"Who wouldn't be afraid of death... My gods have abandoned me. Where will I go after I die?"

Diouf sighed and looked in the direction of Star God and Tricia with complicated eyes. He couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was obvious that all this had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Who knows? It won't be next to the goddess anyway."

Sera shrugged.

Diouf looked at Serra and spoke cautiously, "Can you save me? Will the House of Representatives help me?"

"I can barely protect myself," Sera scoffed, not answering directly. "Don't forget, you attacked the Hero. Whether the Empire will let this go or not is beyond the question. Can you get past the hurdles of the Mystic Sage and the Head Sister?"

Diouf curled his lips and stopped talking.

Sera simply stood aside in silence. The soldiers cast sharp glances at them from time to time, as if they wanted to eat her alive, but Tricia and Aisha did not say anything, so the soldiers would not do anything to Sera.

She knew very well that it was best not to make her presence felt at this moment. All she had to do was watch everything silently and wait for the outcome of the negotiations with the House of Representatives. In fact, Diouf was not wrong. The House of Representatives could abandon the Kingdom of Levis and abandon Diouf and his men, but it would never leave Sera and the Grey Wind Greatsword alone.

This is also the reason why Sera can remain calm.

She didn't need to think about what arrangements the Parliament would make, what excuses they would use, or what price they would pay. She just had to insist that everything she did here was just the order of the Parliament, and push all the troubles to the Parliament to solve - in fact, this was also the most appropriate solution. As for whether the Parliament would push all the responsibilities onto these secret believers and the Kingdom of Levis, or what the fate of Diouf and others would be, that was not what Sera cared about.

In the end, Sierra will take back everything she has seen.

She had to tell those arrogant guys who were ready to make a move that many things had changed - because the arcane sage who had been silent for many years had left Dammas, and because the strength of the Holy Sister was far beyond imagination, the power of the two of them was enough to subvert any self-righteous conspiracy. At least for a long time to come, the Federation might have to formulate a new strategy.

Of course, the so-called strategy is not just about the Empire and the Hero, or this relic, but also about how to deal with the relationship with the Holy See in the future. The esoteric religion that is now slowly growing in the Kingdom of Levis may soon face a reckoning.

Before today, perhaps the House of Representatives could turn a blind eye to them.

But it is obvious that if they want to continue doing so after today, they will have to bear the pressure from the entire House of Representatives.

Perhaps from today onwards, the House of Parliament will have to find a way to contact the Holy Sister again - the Holy Sister has left Dammas, which means an opportunity, but also something that the House of Parliament must do. They have to apologize and explain this incident.

Sera looked straight at Aisha, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Elsa was injecting holy light magic into the body of the sleeping brave Madeleine - Sera had never seen such pure holy light magic.

"Mrs. Saint Sister... Will the Hero wake up?"

Timmer stayed by Madeleine's side, struggling with guilt and self-hatred.

Elsa glanced at her.

Timmer was the only female among these soldiers, a mage. Although Elsa didn't know her, she felt relieved when she saw Timmer's expression.

"With the Arcane Sage here, the hero will be fine."

Elsa has injected a large amount of holy light magic into Madeleine's body. Now it is certain that Madeleine has sufficient vitality. The reason why she has not woken up is not because of physical trauma, but because of what Tricia said, "the separation of soul and body". This is beyond Elsa's ability. She doesn't even dare to touch Madeleine's body directly - she is worried that she might accidentally hurt Madeleine's soul.

"Thank you very much, and Mr. Sage..."

Timmer's eyes darkened and his tone became erratic.

In fact, she is very confused now - she knew her mission, but she betrayed her family's expectations and the trust of His Highness the Brave. She doesn't know why she finally chose to stand by the Brave, nor does she know why His Highness the Brave has not told others her identity so far.

Even Sera seemed to have completely ignored her.

This made her even more sad.

At this time, Tricia came over - it seemed that the communication with the Star God had come to an end.

"How about it?"

Aisha asked.

"It surprised me a little... but not that much."

Tricia looked at the sleeping Madeleine. There was no expression on her face, but her tone was hesitant.

"I don't know if this is good news—'Star God', I think she should be a 'Wild God' from the Age of Gods."

"The God of Wilderness? Is that what the God of Wilderness looks like..."

Elsa heard the word again, but honestly, she still didn't have much idea about the so-called wild gods and main gods - could it be that just because they are unknown, they are called wild gods, and because they are remembered, they are called main gods? This statement is too perfunctory.

Elsa looked at the shadow. The shadow was no longer as solid as before, and it seemed to have lost a lot of power.

Behind them, Diouf lowered his head deeply, his eyes flickering unclearly - it turned out that the "god" they believed in in their esoteric religion was just a "wild god", and they didn't even have their own gods. So, it seemed that this relic was probably the tomb of the "wild god".

What a desolate tomb—there is nothing here except a black sword. Is this the "Star God"?

Diouf felt his piety completely broken.

Sera, on the other hand, looked at the shadow thoughtfully.

Before today, she had never seen the God of Wilderness in person, but at least he was a god. Generally speaking, could someone with divine power be so weak? No, it was probably just that the Mystic Sage and the Head Saint Sister were too intimidating.

428. The Star God Who Deserves a Beating (3K7)

The Star God is a "wild god".

Upon learning this fact, even Tricia couldn't hide her surprise—though she had already suspected something similar, she was still surprised. Because, in this era, no new gods had been born. In other words, the Star God and the ruins beneath their feet had spanned countless eons, dormant since the Age of Gods.

This is undoubtedly a very surprising discovery.

At the same time, Tricia also thought a lot in a short period of time - this was not the first time she had seen the God of Wilderness, but this time she wanted to figure out some questions that had troubled her and many scholars: Why did the Age of Gods end?

However, that was all in the past. She still had things she had to do.

Tricia came to Madeleine and squatted down, holding the black sword flat in front of her. A complex magic circle was carved under her feet.

Aisha stayed beside Tricia and Madeleine, and the others stepped back upon seeing this.

The magic circle under Tricia's feet was carved as fast as a printer, without any pause, but even so, every part of the complex magic circle was still carved cleverly and precisely - although this was not the first time Elsa saw Tricia carving the magic circle from scratch, but every time Elsa couldn't help but marvel from the bottom of her heart.

Tricia cast a spell to block out the sound - of course, Tricia couldn't avoid the spell set by Elsa very well, so she simply made everyone else present lose their hearing temporarily.

"That's not really the case. She just lost her body."

Tricia explained while carving the magic circle with ease.

The shadow came to the side and mumbled something - the Star God was very timid and deliberately stood far away from Elsa.

Elsa glanced at the Star God, who was so frightened that his entire shadow shrank and floated to Tricia's side.

"What exactly is a wild god...? Is he really a god?"

Elsa looked at the Star God strangely. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time - because the Star God looked really weak. Even the Undead Demon General Tobias looked more powerful than her.

Tricia seemed to see what Elsa was thinking and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't underestimate her. To be able to create such a large-scale space bubble, her strength is not simple at all. If you weren't here, Aisha, I wouldn't have the confidence to defeat her alone."

Tricia's opinion of the Star God is not low, and this is based on her experience.

She continued:

"Gods once existed in the distant past, during the Age of Gods. Unlike the present, where power is built upon vast magical systems, a large portion of a god's power came from faith. Simply put, the more a god is known and believed in, the more they are known, the more they are worshipped, the more they have followers, the higher their quality, the more devout their faith in the god, and so on... A god's power is based on this series of factors.

The Age of Gods. Scholars who are familiar with the remains of the Age of Gods agree that it was an era in which many gods existed at the same time. For that era, the birth or fall of a god did not seem to be such earth-shattering events.

This means that many gods are actually unknown to the public, and most of these gods do not have many believers or faith, so their strength is relatively weak - hence the name "Wild God" or "Nameless God".

Of course, these names are only used nowadays, and there probably weren't any such terms in the Age of Gods."

The Star God is such a deity, an ancient being that slept at the end of the Age of Gods.

No one knows how long ago the era in which the Star God lived was, not even the Star God herself - because she has been sleeping all the time, and the time of the ruins has long been disturbed. Just look at the tattered canyon and you will know. No one knows how many times space has been torn apart in this area in the long time from the Age of Gods to the present.

"So, the wild god is also a god, right? ...If she's a god, will my 'Magic Dispel' work on her too?"

Aisha asked again.

This time, Tricia paused for a moment, seemingly contemplating something, hesitating. After a while, she spoke, "According to her, your power is a kind of 'domain.' For a deity like her, your strength is terrifying."

"field?"

The first thing Elsa thought of was something like "magnetic field".

"The domain of God. Moreover, only the most powerful gods can master the power of 'domain'. 'Domain' is a symbol of absolute power. Unfortunately, I cannot judge the truth of this statement - it is beyond my knowledge."

Tricia said, her tone also a little uncertain, she paused and looked at Aisha.

"But I think there's perhaps no more reasonable explanation than this. Powerful gods can change the rules of the world at will, even allowing everything to run according to their will. They themselves are beyond the world and unaffected by its rules... Or, because the gods themselves are the 'rules' themselves, external 'rules' are 'filtered' or 'distorted' - Aisha, does this sound familiar to you?"

"You mean... the God's Curtain?"

Elsa still remembered what Tricia had told her about the theory of the "God's Veil" in the mystical magic. At that time, Elsa did not think much about it. She just felt that listening to Tricia talk about those things was like listening to some academic masters talk about some novel technologies and discoveries in the previous life.
