Have you become a legendary creature
Wood was stunned for a while, feeling the power rising continuously in his body. It was a powerful force that he had never imagined. It was simply incredible.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
God's grace is like the sea, and God's power is like the mountains. He really saw it today.
His Majesty the Great Teacher dug mountains from the plains in the past, which was already a great magical power that he could not imagine. However, His Majesty the Mask of the Void turned himself from a mere mortal into a powerful legendary creature in just a short time, and he did not feel it at all. Not even the slightest bit uncomfortable.
In stories and legends, sudden powerful power must be accompanied by powerful consequences, such as being easy to go crazy, being difficult to control, often devouring lives, and needing to consume a lot of precious resources... However, these are very important to the void. The Masked Majesty has no restraints. He created a legendary creature in such an understatement—and he is also the strongest among the legendary creatures.
This is the power of gods... No wonder so many powerful people are obsessed with becoming gods. No wonder the great teacher has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, just to succeed in becoming a god.
If it is for such power, it is indeed worth it!
He was wrong. Sui Xiong's power was particularly powerful even among gods. And... this ability to build the body of a legendary creature really has nothing to do with the "power of the gods". It is a craft that Sui Xiong figured out by himself. It has nothing to do with humans and has nothing to do with divine power.
Strictly speaking, there is still a relationship. Since his divine power has become more powerful, Sui Xiong can use his divine power to perfect the body he built, making his work more efficient and his works more refined and perfect.
This is like a master craftsman. His own skills are of course excellent, but if he can master more advanced tools to assist him, he can make better works, enough to leave his past self far behind.
On the earth before Sui Xiong's time travel, there were many successors of traditional skills. With the aid of new era technology and concepts, they reached heights that were beyond the reach of previous sages.
For example, his specialty is painting, and he usually comes into contact with people in this circle. Some of them can paint paintings that are almost indistinguishable from "reality" - the seniors in the past, no matter how hard they worked, , it is impossible to adjust such precise and rich colors, and the scenery that can be painted is always different from reality.
This is the progress of technology.
Sui Xiong's level is not that high. Before time travel, no matter how hard he tried, he could not draw such realistic paintings. But now, as long as he is willing, he can draw such a painting at any time.
Powerful power, almost "omnipotent" divine power, is itself the best tool.
Moreover, Sui Xiong's mastery of this tool is constantly improving. This can be seen from his "works" - the body he originally built for Gerald was relatively crude. Although it was powerful, it was imperfect in many aspects, so that Gerald's soul was in turn affected by this. Affected by the specific body, he became a little simple and straightforward, rough and bold.
Later, his technique improved and he re-adjusted Gerrard twice before he was completely back to normal. Now the leader of the Knights of the Masked Void Church, there is no trace of the "bald giant" from his appearance. Instead, he is a tall knight who smiles and is kind, but very powerful.
Now that his skills are extremely proficient, the body he built for Wood was specially designed for Wood's soul fluctuations. Although it is not as perfect as his original body, it fits his soul to the greatest extent. Unless he is a psionic wizard who specializes in soul abilities, he will not be aware of the slight disharmony between the soul and the body.
Moreover, this body will automatically and slowly adjust, and as time goes by, it will become more and more closely integrated with his soul. When the two completely match, Wood's strength will be greatly improved.
Unfortunately, the demigod state is not just about strength. No matter how hard Sui Xiong tried, he could not build a demigod-level body.
Otherwise, he had even considered changing the bodies of the senior members of his church.
Immortal, immortal, not tired, does not need food, possesses divinity and infinite possibilities... It would be great if everyone could have such a body!
Over the years, Sui Xiong has been somewhat troubled by the topic of "birth, old age, illness and death." Of course he wasn't worried about his birth, old age, illness or death. In fact, he didn't feel any signs of aging or illness at all. Maybe there was no such thing at all. What he was worried about was his friends.
From Gerald to Palin, Rhodes, Snowflake... to Leon, Liv, and even the friends he met later, although they may only admire and respect him, he really treats them as friends viewed. In his mind, there is no difference between these mortal friends and divine friends such as Yorgardman and Veyer.
However, in fact their difference is very big.
The gods are immortal and stand on the banks of the long river of time. No matter how powerful mortals are, they cannot escape aging and death.
No matter what kind of life extension method, after all, there are limits. Old Rhodes has gradually approached that limit. Although Sui Xiong provided him with unlimited life-extending potions, the effect of the life-extending potions on him is constantly declining. Currently, a potion that can extend the life of ordinary people for five years can only be used on him. Three or four months of results are left.
Rhodes was also aware of his situation and often persuaded Sui Xiong not to waste medicine. He has lived for more than ninety years. As an ordinary thief who has not even reached a high level, this lifespan is simply staggering. Moreover, he is basically healthy now. Even without any life-extending medicine, he should be able to live for a few more years, which is enough to challenge the legendary centenarian age that is impossible for ordinary humans to reach.
"I have lived long enough." He said to Sui Xiong during a private chat, "Your Majesty, the grace you have given me is enough."
What to do after death? Rhodes didn't worry about this problem at all. For him, death is nothing more than completely relieving himself of his work, and then moving to His Majesty's Kingdom of the Void to live out his life and enjoy peace and tranquility.
But Sui Xiong didn't think so.
After all, there is a big difference between life and death, living people and souls.
In this world, "resurrection" has a huge limitation, that is, it cannot resurrect the soul of the old and dead. This has nothing to do with technology or ability, but some kind of "order". Sui Xiong once conducted experiments on some people who had died of old age, and determined that even if he used his magical power to create bodies that almost completely fit those people, they would not be able to resurrect them. For some reason, the body and soul were obviously compatible, but the soul was not. It just cannot be combined with the body.
This situation made him helpless, so much so that he was even more obsessed with replacing the bodies of his friends.
It's just...most of my friends don't want to.
The reasons vary, but the unwillingness is the same.
Sui Xiong was speechless and could only try to find examples to convince them.
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wood moving his body, slowly adapting to the surge in strength, and occasionally falling over.
I hope this example can convince everyone...
