Due to the cumbersome requirements, the altar of Masked Void Church was built in a relatively remote open space, with no other buildings within about one kilometer nearby. The closest thing to it is a small outpost.
On the observation deck on the top of the outpost, three giant dragons in human form were staring in the direction of the altar, paying attention to the prayers.
"What a hell, a small church with less than a hundred people actually has three legendary powerhouses sitting in charge!" Shuang looked very unhappy, "Are all the legendary powerhouses ruined these days?"
"Actually, this is easy to understand. If you are close to a powerful person, you will naturally be affected."
Xue Hua looked over there with a smile, then made a small blackboard with frost, drew a ball of light on it, and then radiated a circle of people around it, so the heads of the people closest to it also emitted light.
"Then why are Xue and I never strong enough?"
Hearing his name, Xie Qiang, who had been half asleep and half awake, looked around with sleepy eyes. He didn't see anything in particular, so he leaned on Xue Hua and dozed off again.
Xuehua sighed helplessly: "Well, this is the reason."
"But I worked very hard! I didn't sleep in!" Shuang said.
Xuehua sighed: "You spend all your energy on making trouble."
Shuang suddenly had nothing to say, and was so angry that her cheeks bulged, and she looked away with a posture of "You are a bad person and I won't talk to you."
Xuehua shook his head with a smile and continued to watch the situation on the other side of the altar.
The believers of Masked Void Church are in good order, and the one standing at the front is naturally the high priest. This man who calls himself "Lei" externally and "Leon Igor" internally is a knight. He wears a silver-white combined armor and a dark blue cloak. Both the armor and the cloak are on her The magic vision exudes a dazzling light, and you can tell at a glance that it is a rare masterpiece.
In fact, this set of armor was made by Sui Xiong himself. The head, shoulders, chest and back are all made of an overall structure that is extremely strong and strong. The waist, hips, ribs and abdomen are made up of pieces of metal pieces with different patterns, each piece or several pieces. The metal pieces are in a group, each forming a different magic. After a set of armor is put on, you only need to use fighting spirit to stimulate it, and you can freely cast about forty kinds of magic, forcibly turning a professional knight into a master of both magic and martial arts. Almighty.
When he first put on this suit of armor, Sui Xiong once said with a smile that as long as he carried a hammer and a book, he would become an "all-powerful knight".
Unfortunately, only Earthlings understand his joke.
As for the cloak outside the armor, it is a treasure from the Riley family's secret treasury.
Although Kashali Riley is naive and simple, she is not an unscrupulous person. Ray tried his best to help her rebuild the city of Garth and blocked her from those evil spirits who peeked at the Riley family's wealth. Of course she wants to repay her. .
According to the little girl's simple way of thinking, the most appropriate way to repay her in this situation is to give her your body. However, Lei emphasized that he was a priest and that he helped her out of justice and kindness. He had absolutely no desire for beauty. Not only did he not accept this kind of reward, he also gave her a lecture in return - such as "Only beauty." "It's not enough", "You must spend less time dressing up and study politics and culture harder", "It's better to learn how to deal with government affairs when you have time to think about boring things", etc., etc., which quickly turned the little girl into unrealistic romance. The idea was abandoned.
Although this further highlighted Lei's integrity and nobleness, and made Kashali more fond of him, she would no longer foolishly say "promise with her body", but searched carefully in the secret treasure house for a long time, and finally Found the right gift.
It was a dark blue cloak. On the outside, it looked just smooth and snug, but on the inside, there was a starry sky connected with enchanted gems. It has powerful magical power, which can not only greatly weaken the damage of various spells, but also provide the wearer with the ability to walk on water. It even has extraordinary defensive power. As long as it is wrapped around the body, it will Worthy of a set of refined heavy armor.
This gift really suited Lei's heart, so he accepted it shyly in the end - he didn't know that seeing his embarrassed smile at that time, Kasali continued to be infatuated in silence for a long time after returning.
The complete set of armor named "Void Guardian" and the cloak named "Starry Sky on the Sea" are Lei's attire. Although he was promoted to chief priest by Sui Xiong because he presided over the compilation of prayers, he still adhered to the style of the knight.
Half a step behind him, Gerald and Wall stood side by side. Together with Leon in front, they formed the high-end force of the Void Mask Church. The plastic surgery performed by the three legendary powerhouses would be shocking no matter which country on the mainland they went to.
Slightly behind are Palin, Rhodes, Orian, and Steele. They are the top leaders of the church and are each responsible for some important affairs. Among them, Palin is responsible for the collection and arrangement of classics, Rhodes is responsible for external commercial activities and the academic affairs of Orian's General Guerten area, and Steele is responsible for the church's medical team.
Because she believed in the Forest Goddess, Mrs. Teague did not join the Church of the Masked Void; Liv believed in the God of Knights and did not join either. They were taking Nisi to watch the ceremony from a distance, curiously watching this rare prayer ceremony.
After Palin and others, they are ordinary believers. These believers are mainly pioneers, with two or three adventurers mixed in. These adventurers are the believers that Phil helped develop. Although the armored man himself said that he only believed in the "ancient goddess", his ability to preach was quite powerful. Still sitting.
In addition, the Church of the Mask of the Void still has some believers in Gars City, but not many. At this moment, they were gathering in an open space and praying together, led by two adventurers who had also joined the church.
Along with the solemn prayers, countless small light spots emerged in the void and slowly gathered above the altar. This is the power of faith, a power that the gods both long for and fear.
Among the light spots, the shadow of a floating jellyfish slowly emerged. With a wave of its tentacles, light blue light balls flew out one by one and floated on the altar.
These balls of light are the souls of the believers killed by the Shadow Demon. After Sui Xiong rescued them, he found that they had been contaminated by the Shadow Demon with negative energy. It took a lot of effort to wash away most of the negative energy from their souls. But even so, there are still some residues. In order to solve this problem, Sui Xiong decided to fight fire with fire, using his own magic power to overwhelm the negative energy, so that their souls were eventually dyed the color of Sui Xiong's magic power.
Will this have any bad effects? Probably not... Sui Xiong thought so.
No matter what, at least it’s better than being polluted by negative energy!
As the power of faith continued to gather, Sui Xiong began to cast spells. This is the first time he has used "divine magic" in a real sense. The moment he does it, it is the resurrection of a classic of magic. He is truly worthy of his status as a god.
Vast magic power surged out from the jellyfish shadow, using the power of faith as a bridge to connect the souls of Sui Xiong and those believers. Miraculous and unspeakable power stirred in the air, and the massive nutrients stored in advance surged rapidly, forming bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin and hair.
About half an hour later, about ten naked people were lying on the large altar.
Unfortunately, there are still many people whose souls cannot be resurrected. These people are divided into two types. Most of them are because their belief in Sui Xiong is too shallow and cannot resonate with the power of faith. They cannot use the power of faith to build a magical bridge for resurrection.
Sui Xiong could only say sorry for this. He had taken a lot of lessons with the God of Justice during this period and understood a lot of rules that he must abide by. Although some of the rules annoyed him, most of them made sense.
For example, he thinks the restrictions on resurrection are very reasonable.
Resurrection from the dead is an extraordinary grace. If the gods can grant it casually, it will obviously destroy the balance between the various churches. Moreover, the resurrection of the dead may not be such a beautiful thing in itself - many dead are not willing to be resurrected, but want to pursue peace after death.
For example, among his followers, less than half of the unresurrected souls rejected resurrection for this reason.
For these believers, Sui Xiong could only temporarily build a peaceful resting place inside the altar to let their souls rest quietly. Wait until the Kingdom of God is established before bringing them in.
As for those beliefs that are too shallow, that will be the case for the time being. Wait until the Kingdom of God is established and then see if their faith can meet the minimum standards for going to the Kingdom of God.
If that doesn't work, we have to follow the rules and send them to the underworld.
The entire prayer ceremony does not take very long. When the resurrection is over, there is still a lot of power of faith remaining. Sui Xiong did not accept them rashly, but stored them in the altar.
He has witnessed the danger of the power of faith with his own eyes. He didn't want to get rid of such a dangerous thing before finding a proper way to deal with it!
Finally, he fed back a little magic power along the channels of faith.
Every believer who prayed could not help but feel his body trembled and felt the vast and endless power. Although only a small amount flows into their bodies, it is enough to make them healthy and comfortable, and they will not be troubled by illness for a long time. The two adventurers who hosted the prayer ceremony at the Gals City venue felt a powerful force rising in their hearts, and their strength had greatly improved.
This made everyone's faith more pious and their prayers more sincere.
Of course, gifts are not a big pot, but are determined by the strength of each person’s belief channel. The more sincere and strong the belief, the stronger the channel of belief, and the more magic power can be transmitted.
Sui Xiong felt that this rule was very reasonable - burn incense and pray to Buddha to seek blessings. Of course, the more sincere you are, the more you should be blessed. Is there anything wrong with that
In the sound of praise, the entire ceremony came to an end, and the shadow of the jellyfish gradually disappeared. However, there was still silence in front of the altar, and everyone was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the naked people on the altar woke up from the cold, and sneezed one by one.
Among them, the loudest "yawn" was clearly Satan.
