"Are you talking about the crystal that represents the Tower of Forging?" Lascano followed Xiao Chen's gaze and looked into the magic circle.
The red and blue crystal representing the Forge Tower began to shake and struggle.
However, the formation designed by Umeda was very clever. The power of faith extracted from the crystal was immediately transformed into the power of the formation itself, and began to bind and fix the crystal in turn.
Deeper and deeper red mist began to diffuse from those crystals, starting to resist the restraints of the magic circle.
"Is this a false god?" Farrell said.
"Yes. It's hiding in these crystals. I guess it wants us to take it outside without knowing it." Xiao Chen aimed the Heart Thorn at the crystal. The crystal of the Spirit Tower also floated over and began to slowly brighten, as if it was gathering energy.
"Go outside? Why? I thought it would rush out and fight us." Farrell asked.
Xiao Chen said: "Think about it, when faith begins to dry up, staying in this world will only lead to continuous weakening. Therefore, it will naturally go outside to regain faith, because in that world, it has a very good trump card, and there are many people like Lascano who have been marked by it.
Imagine if a 'Forge God' suddenly descended and brought miracles, it might be able to take back the faith from my statue and become the Forge God of the Dwarves again."
"But how did you find out?" Farrell asked.
"Because when He Jin, the tower spirit of the Spirit Tower, was feeling the power of the false god's faith at the shrine, he made a discovery. Behind the power of the false god lies a soul he is familiar with. Regardless of whether this soul becomes a false god or something else, there are always some characteristics that cannot be changed." Xiao Chen said.
"He hid it very well. If it was any other magic tower spirit, they might not be able to find it. But I am the spirit of the Spirit Tower. Souls are the toys of our Spirit Tower mages. And now I am in the most energetic state. So I found the characteristics of that soul." He Jin said as he stood on the crystal, "Senovia, the spirit of the Forging Tower, you said that forging is your favorite thing in the world. The forging fire in your soul will never be extinguished no matter what."
He Jin's words were obviously directed to the crystal of the Tower of Forging.
"The spirit of the Tower of Forging is that false god?!" Farrell watched in amazement as the red mist on the crystal slowly formed a human shape.
The human figure looked like a sturdy dwarf, but his body was wrapped with many golden chains rising from the magic circle.
"Damn it, damn the magic circle, it wasn't charged at all, and it stole my power. You despicable guys deceived me. I knew that this despicable idea was thought up by you humans. Just like the time in the Seventh Tower!"
"Zenovia? This name has nothing to do with who I am now? Zenovia is a sturdy, powerful dwarf saint! But now there is only a ghost who is determined to become a god! Hahaha!" The false god's tone was obviously much more emotional than He Jin's, but there was a bit of madness in his tone, "No, I am no longer him from the inside out, from body to soul, and forging is no longer something I am interested in. My interest is to become a god! To follow the path of the power of faith and become a true god like the God of Nature. Without having to hide here all the time!"
"You are just deceiving yourself. You are still you. Even if you become a false god, you are still the God of Forging." He Jin said calmly, "I was not sure whether the power of faith is a way to become a god, but seeing how crazy you are now, I think this is a dead end. The power of faith interferes too much with emotions."
"Can I admit that you have any right to judge? He Jin, you are just a big liar!"
"Pathetic." He Jin said coldly.
"You liar, you even deceived yourself. Have you lost the ability to lose your temper? Haha, look at what you have done to yourself! A machine without emotions. The way you speak is as stupid as the magical intelligence from thousands of years ago." The false god roared with fangs bared.
"Liar? Didn't you make the same choice as me?" He Jin asked.
"I'm not you! Do you think that apart from you, there are only a few people who volunteered to become tower spirits? Who didn't have no choice but to do so? I don't want to become a tower spirit. But those cunning human saints of the Tower of Forge said that who will become the tower spirit will be decided by voting, and at the same time, they said everywhere that I have the strongest spirit and am the most suitable candidate to become a tower spirit. They also persuaded a few dwarf idiots. In the end, this matter fell on my head."
"So, you still admit that you are Zenovia?" He Jin said.
"You, you are such a boring guy. This verbal dispute is so superficial."
"How do you maintain such an emotional state? I thought all tower spirits would think that expressing emotions is unnecessary." He Jin asked puzzled.
Red Mist twisted his body and still struggled in the golden chains. "Of course I would not allow myself to become a useless person without emotions. I separated the most emotional part of my soul and hid it in the deepest part of my soul. Later, your stupid plan failed, Hastings ran to the kingdom of the God of Nature to die, and the remaining idiot in the Forge Tower secretly took me to the Dwarf Kingdom to avoid being hunted down by the Temple of Nature. That's when I had the opportunity to regain my lost emotions."
"So you want to use the power of faith to become the God of Forging?"
"After regaining my emotions, I felt the power of faith from the dwarves, a force more powerful than magic. I remembered that someone in the Seven Towers had proposed using the power of faith to create gods to fight against the God of Nature. This couldn't be done under the rule of the Seven Towers at the time, but there were many idiots in the Dwarf Kingdom who believed in that false god. I realized that since the God of Forging was fake, why couldn't I replace him
I have done a lot of experiments to study how to accept their power of faith in the most efficient way, and how to purify this power of faith and how to use it like magic. However, the most important thing is how to use it to improve my own realm.
I found that the power of faith can stimulate my soul, making it stronger and stronger, and finally break through the limitations of the Saint Rank and gain divine power beyond the Saint Rank. I believe that I will become a real god one day. Until you, a bastard, come to disturb me again and ruin my plan! " (To be continued)
