There are actually quite a few gods in Mycroft's world, but unlike the legend, they spend most of their time in the boundless heaven, silently paying attention to and protecting their people.
These sacred beings basically do not take the initiative to perform miracles and expand the number of believers. Therefore, except for the more well-known racial gods such as the Seven Gods of the Human Race, the God of Orcs, the King of Goblins, the Mermaid and the Protector of the Deep Sea, the names of other gods are not obvious. In this world, only true believers have access to the power of these gods.
This may be because the gods in Mycroft's world do not actually require belief, so they do not need to deliberately promote their reputation. However, according to the research of players in previous lives, these good guys have discovered that this is not the case.
It is true that the gods do not need faith, but the reason why they do not interfere in the world seems to be to abide by an oath - an oath that allows the civilization on the entire continent to develop naturally.
If it weren't for a big demon tide or an invasion of the abyss, they wouldn't interfere too much with the choices of sentient beings. Of course, if things develop to the point of genocide, then no matter how many oaths they make, they will become meaningless. This is also There have been several divine wars in history. Due to the expansion of orcs or humans, other races either surrendered or perished. The invasion of the abyss was a disaster that endangered the entire world. No god would sit back and watch. The people were devoured by demons.
Speaking of which, there is an interesting thing. Among the seven gods of the human race, not all members are born as humans. Among them, the god of freedom and the god of love are elves, and the god of guardianship is a dwarf. This is why humans In all countries, all elves and dwarves have the same citizenship rights as humans, and the mermaid and the protector of the deep sea are actually not mermaids. Its body in the mortal world is a kind and big jellyfish, which mermaids have worshiped since ancient times. It protects this race.
But no matter what, Joshua had never heard of the name of the God of Despair and Luck in his previous life.
Of course, there are many reasons, and they are also very simple. The most likely one is that this person fell long before the Starfall Era, and he did not leave any strong inheritance before his fall. The race that worshiped him was also exterminated, so The name was lost in the dust of history.
"Despair, and luck."
Thinking about these two words, Joshua felt that it was easy to understand. Based on what he saw in Moore's dream, he could easily deduce the meaning of the other's god's name: "Luck hidden in despair, absolutely Good luck? What a strange title."
Most of the gods in Mycroft's world have composite responsibilities. The most common ones are the gods of orcs and war. They are composed of races and actions of praise. The full name of the father of nature is also 'the god of nature and elves'. 'The names of gods like the Seven Gods of the human race are different. For example, the God of Justice and Power, the God of Love and Decline. They write their doctrines based on their own set of logic, but they do not pursue the 'God of Humanity'. 'This position, and the gods of despair and luck, are surprisingly similar to them.
—Perhaps there was some relationship between them in ancient times
But who knows.
This thought flashed through Joshua's mind, but he immediately ignored it. The warrior didn't know much about the knowledge of gods. After all, even in his previous life, the players had not been exposed to that step, and he was focused on the challenge. Powerful bosses from all walks of life will not care about such trivial matters in setting. Anyway, this thing naturally has research and strong people can study it. You can read the finished product post in the future, so you don’t need to pay too much attention.
"Reminiscent of one's most desperate and luckiest moments and then reverse them?"
Based on the information currently known, Joshua speculated on the purpose of this mist of divine disaster. He frowned and said softly: "If you succeed, you will be luckier. If you fail, you will be more desperate. It is indeed the style of the divine disaster copy, and also Befitting the god’s vocation.”
According to Moore's performance, he probably failed. The orc heavy cavalry still defeated the human army, but it was not considered a failure. He was lucky enough to escape just like decades ago. Next, the old mage should continue to attack He returns to his own moments of luck and despair, re-experiences them again and again, and changes them until he succeeds, or falls completely into a dream, or the warrior takes care of the Box of Erebus.
Turning his head and looking at Robzek not far away, Joshua was suddenly curious about what the test of this great knight was.
Without any hesitation, he immediately walked towards the Paladin.
As soon as he got close, the warrior felt a burst of scorching heat coming from all directions. The sacred light carried the power to purify everything, and at the same time burned the bodies and souls of the unclean ones.
This is Robzek's body-protecting holy light. As a Ultimate Paladin, his body-protecting holy light is enough to easily dispel gold-level evil spells and negative states. Even the Great Disintegration Technique cannot directly penetrate this kind of light. level of protection, but those who also possess the Holy Light will not only not be suppressed, but will also receive great benefits. This is the unique ability of the Paladin's advanced profession [Saint Blessing Knight], which draws power from the Holy Light. Protect your companions and defeat your enemies.
But even so, the Holy Knight was still trapped in the mist of divine misfortune, and he could not guard against the divine power.
Under the illumination of the holy light, Joshua felt a little hot and didn't feel much discomfort. Although his charm was as low as minus 209, being ferocious does not mean he is evil. There is still heaven in a warrior. The power of order of the Blue Orb provides him with extremely high resistance to the Holy Light. Coupled with the two rows of buffs that Saya previously blessed him with, Joshua is currently almost immune to the Holy Light.
The warrior arrived in front of Robzek. The paladin's body released burning silver flames, burning the surrounding black mist. Like Moore, although Robzek fell into a dream, he still stood upright and cheerful. The middle-aged man is now standing on the spot with a serious face, maintaining the alert posture before entering the dreamland.
His expression was much more relaxed than Moore's. It seemed that the difficulties in the dream were not a problem for him. If Robzek was given some time, he might be able to complete the challenge of the Mist of Divine Disaster, but even if Joshua planned to give the Paladin For a while, the people waiting outside would not agree, so the warrior simply stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's belt and collar.
Midway, Robzek's body even launched an instinctive counterattack, and the scorching flames flowed to the back of Joshua's hand like liquid, as if to burn it away, but Joshua easily handled these small things, and then used In the same posture, the paladin was thrown outward with great force—
Suddenly, a small silver-white sun suddenly appeared in the sky around the Avenue of Truth in the Imperial Capital. Its holy light suddenly enveloped several blocks, attracting the attention of many people who were evacuating in an emergency and the city guards. However, the sun disappeared in a flash. After a few seconds, it fell towards the location of the church personnel.
Because of the experience and lessons learned from the old mage being thrown out before, the church personnel had long been prepared. Under the gentle instructions of Sister Saya, several church knights steadily caught Robzek's body falling from the sky, because After leaving the harsh environment, the holy knight's protective light disappeared. The knights took this opportunity to quickly check the condition of their leader, and came to the same conclusion as when they tested the old mage's body before.
"Sister, the leader also fell into a dream because of that weird power!"
After hearing the reactions of the knights, Saya was silent for a while. She had already seen Moore's situation before, and she could not solve this problem. Whether it was blessing, dispersing or sheltering magic, this kind of power could not be solved. It has no effect. Only the pure power of Holy Light can slightly curb the opponent's activity, but this does not solve the fundamental problem.
What kind of power is it that can be both immune to magic and resistant to divine spells? There were some vague guesses in his mind, but Sayaka didn't intend to explain to these distressed knights, lest they become more nervous.
"… a."
Turning to look at the churning black sea of fog, she sighed softly. The nun's tone seemed a little helpless: "We can only wait for Earl Radcliffe to solve this matter... He can be immune to the power of this fog, maybe. If we can find the cause of this emergency, we can wake up Captain Robzek."
Having said this, Saya fell into deep thought.
When they met at the Morlay Palace before, the nun specifically paid attention to the deeds of the soldiers. As a result, she saw great achievements that seemed to be seen in legendary stories.
—Fighting the black tide alone, closing the door of time and space, and killing the entire white dragon's lair alone... This count from the north already had enough mysteries about him. Even in the church, many people knew Joshua's name, and Curious about the source of his power.
Now, warriors are even immune to divine power.
The nun sighed softly at this.
- It's really curious.
