Crick went to work again. Although the fire of his life was like a candle in the wind, he had no intention of resting and still maintained his original working status.

He was so diligent that when Sui Xiong saw him working hard, he couldn't help but think of a famous allusion - work hard and die.

This is said by Zhuge Liang. Ever since Liu Bei was left alone, Zhuge Liang has worked hard to support the weak Shu Kingdom in its confrontation with powerful enemies. Not only did he not lose an inch of territory, but he made several Northern Expeditions, and finally even threatened Chang'an. If he hadn't worked too hard and died of exhaustion, he might have been able to reverse the trend of history with his own strength and realize the ideal of "reviving the Han Dynasty" agreed with Liu Bei in the past.

However, Zhuge Liang failed to realize his ideal and he was exhausted.

Now Crick also looked like he was going to exhaust himself to death.

Seeing that this incarnation with no special powers was still so diligent when his life was about to come to an end, Sui Xiong couldn't help but be half moved and half blushing. It’s all about himself, and after Crick has worked so hard, how can he still take a vacation shamelessly

Just keep working!

But what exactly should be done

Sui Xiong thought about it and finally decided to continue creating the envoy.

Funny to say, he originally wanted to create some artificial souls to make up for the lack of souls of high-level believers in his Kingdom of God. But after practice, I found that what I created was not an ordinary believer-level soul, but a more condensed and powerful type.

Using such souls as ordinary residents of the Kingdom of God and existing only to enrich the Kingdom of God is undoubtedly a waste of talents and resources. So after consideration, he changed his mind and further transformed the first trial-produced artificial soul into a being similar to an angel.

As the loyal thugs of gods and reliable cannon fodder in divine battles, the greatest advantage of divine envoys lies in the imprint of their souls engraved in the Kingdom of God. With this, even if they are killed a hundred times, they can be resurrected for the 101st time. As long as there is enough divine power and enough time, the divine envoy can be resurrected indefinitely.

But the divine envoy that Sui Xiong created before did not have such a powerful ability. Of course she can be resurrected, but the efficiency of resurrection is very low. If she dies, it will take at least several days to be resurrected. Moreover, she will be weak for a long time after resurrection, and will be temporarily unable to regain her combat effectiveness.

The reason for this is the difference in the complexity of souls.

Although the general soul of an angel is very powerful, its complexity is poor. This prevents them from forming a normal personality that is complete enough for complex thinking. This is due to the rudimentary manufacturing process. After all, it is just mass-produced immortal cannon fodder, pursuing simple and crude strength and quick resurrection. The former does not require a complex soul to control, while the latter requires the soul to be as simple as possible in order to increase the speed of reshaping and charging. Combining these two requirements, what you get can be imagined.

Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, some divine envoys transformed from powerful believers have both powerful power and complex thinking. But that also greatly affects their resurrection speed, just like the one created by Sui Xiong.

There is nothing wrong with such a divine envoy. He is powerful and rigorous in thinking, capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities and even taking the lead on his own. It's just that... they are not qualified for the job of "cannon fodder".

So, is it time to redesign a soul for use as a believer

Sui Xiong thought for a while and gave up the idea.

Since we can create more perfect souls at the advanced divine level, why should we lower our standards and waste energy on creating ordinary souls

The key is that he was deeply shocked when he saw Crick's diligent look of working hard to the end. Now he really doesn't want to do that kind of boring job.

So, why not just design the God Envoy this time!

Sui Xiong quickly made up his mind and began to think about what kind of divine envoy to design.

The first thing he thought of was to follow the conventions of the gods and create a kind of divine messenger who existed specifically as cannon fodder.

This was easy, he easily designed several plans - the cannon fodder divine envoy was not a very advanced skill, and almost no one among the gods could do it.

These kinds of cannon fodder divine envoys designed by Sui Xiong are not bad, and they are probably sufficient for their missions. But after careful consideration, Sui Xiong rejected these designs.

As an artist, he cannot accept the practice of mass-creating cannon fodder units!

This lacks beauty, lacks righteousness, and lacks positive enthusiasm!

(But... If you don’t design such an envoy, what kind of one should you design? Cannon fodder-type envoys are needed after all!)

He thought about it over and over, and finally had an idea and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

In the final analysis, what he needs is not a "cannon fodder-type divine envoy", but "cannon fodder with divine envoy-level power." The two may seem similar at first glance, but in fact they are very different!

"Why... not create a special kind of divine envoy who can create and command powerful cannon fodder?"

He thought to himself, pondering and considering this idea carefully, and thought it was really brilliant!

Since they are cannon fodder, they don't need too strong a defense, as long as they can avoid being killed instantly by a large-scale attack.

Since it is cannon fodder, there is no need for complicated forms, the simpler the better!

Since it is cannon fodder, even the ability to resurrect is redundant, as long as the cost is low and it can be produced quickly!

What he really wants to do is to design such a special cannon fodder unit, and then design an envoy who can create and command them.

... Just like an aircraft carrier!

Although Sui Xiong is not a military enthusiast, at least he still has common sense. On Earth, aircraft carriers have long become the absolute core of large fleets and the absolute main force of the navy. Two fleets with similar total costs, one with an aircraft carrier and one without an aircraft carrier, would definitely result in the one with the aircraft carrier unilaterally massacring the one without the aircraft carrier.

Since the earth’s practice has long proven this, what else should we consider

"Why didn't I think of this sooner? What a waste of time!"

Sui Xiong yelled, cheered up, and threw himself into the research and development work with high morale.

At this moment, he felt endless enthusiasm and inspiration rushing into his heart like a tide, as if he had received an illustration order and found that the delivery date was approaching, and his whole body was on fire.

"come on!"

The big jellyfish roared with fighting spirit, echoing over the Kingdom of God.

A few days later, at the monthly meeting of the top leaders of the Masked Void Church, Sui Xiong, who usually looked like a lazy dried jellyfish, was uncharacteristically energetic and seemed elated.

"I did something big!" he said mysteriously.

"Your Majesty, which god have you destroyed again?" Gerald, the leader of the Temple Knights, asked curiously.

Hearing such a question, everyone looked over in surprise and curiosity.

Killing a god is definitely not an easy task. However, if His Majesty Void Mask takes action, as long as those killed are not those powerful gods who control the great gods, nothing else seems to be surprising.

They were just curious, who made His Majesty angry

Sui Xiong was a little embarrassed by what they saw. He rubbed his nose and protested: "Why do you all act like you think he guessed right? Do I look like such a cruel person?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Some nodded silently, some smiled awkwardly, and some were confused.

"Isn't it very honorable to be powerful and ferocious?" Fafnir, the big strange bird who finally believed in Mask of the Void some time ago, asked in confusion.

Sui Xiong was speechless immediately. He looked at Fafnir's gorgeous feathers, extremely ferocious iron beak and claws, and the terrifying jagged fangs in his mouth, and wisely gave up the idea of talking about mercy or kindness to the other party.

"Actually, I invented a very powerful magic!" In order to prevent the topic from going in an incomprehensible direction, he had no choice but to say it directly without making any excuses.

Sure enough, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. Leon, the chief priest, first asked in surprise: "What kind of magic is it?"

For a long time, the divine spellcasters of the Church of the Mask of the Void have been facing a very troublesome problem—the lack of enough divine spells to choose from, especially the lack of exclusive divine spells that are representative of the church.

The so-called divine magic is the magic given by the gods to priests, priests and other clergymen. Because they spend a lot of time praying and preaching, most clergy are not as capable of casting spells as mages or warlocks. In order to make up for this situation, most gods will choose and create a series of spells. As long as the priests have enough magic power, they can directly master and cast them with the help of divine power - this is called divine magic.

In addition to the general magical arts, most gods in the world will invent their own magical arts. It is not only to provide the clergy with reliable tips, but also to highlight the characteristics of this church.

However, the Church of Masked Void has not had exclusive magic for a long time. This is of course because Sui Xiong hasn't invented it yet - he's too busy.

That's alright. Most of the young gods have not invented magic. The priests can still live their lives relying on universal magic. But if there is exclusive magic, that would be better of course.

However, exclusive magic must also be reliable. It would be hilarious if, like the God of Love and Beauty, his exclusive magic was a whole set of spells for boudoir pleasures.

The reason why Leon asked this question in the first place was precisely because he was worried about this.

Leon is confident that he is very familiar and clear about His Majesty's character. Although he is generally a good person - or a good jellyfish, His Majesty the Mask of the Void often comes up with some unreliable ideas and puts them into practice. What if He also came up with some messy magic based on those strange thoughts this time

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry.

Sui Xiong didn't think so much. Hearing Leon's inquiry, he laughed, his body flashed with light, and a light curtain unfolded, showing this spell to everyone.

This is a summoning spell, and its name is "Envoy Summoning". As the name suggests, the effect is to summon the envoy created by His Majesty the Void Mask.

Seeing this, Leon and others finally breathed a sigh of relief - although the summoning of the divine envoy is not a very unique and wonderful spell, it is at least quite satisfactory and there is nothing shameful about it.

After being happy, Leon spoke again and asked what kind of divine envoys could be summoned

When Sui Xiong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed triumphantly, and with a wave of his tentacles, he summoned his latest creation.

"Come and say hello to everyone!"

"oh!"
