Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 663 350 Astronomical Numbers, Louis is About to Fall Ill

"...It is the manifestation of myth."Beatrice was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning. She tilted her head and said, "Huh?"

Louis chuckled softly, his expression subtle as he said, "For deities, what are the necessary conditions to maintain peak fighting power?"

Beatrice replied, "If we're talking about those deities who ascend through faith, the most important things would probably be the Divine Kingdom, divine duties, and the church, right?"

Louis nodded: "From the perspective of exercising one's own combat power, as long as the divine duties aren't seized, the Divine Kingdom remains intact, and the church providing faith hasn't been destroyed, then a deity can unleash considerable fighting power.

And for legends and demigods, as long as the rules mastered after stepping into legend haven't shattered, the demi-plane incubated isn't destroyed, and the extraordinary energy driving demigod power is still sufficient, they can continuously unleash that kind of destructive power."

Beatrice gave him a peculiar look and said, "Isn't that just stating the obvious?"

Louis said, "No, no, the issue is that under normal circumstances, ordinary legends and demigods can't achieve this, limiting the power they can exert.

But deities are different. The miraculous energy their exalted forms can wield far surpasses that of a typical demigod, one could even say it's entirely not in the same league. Such vast extraordinary energy couldn't possibly be contained within a Demigod Body.

The fact is, after the holy presence descends, almost every deity's holy presence has this capability.

Is it simply because deities are stronger than us?"

Beatrice pondered:

"The ability for the holy presence to achieve this is because they have faith as fuel. As long as the church reaches a certain scale, whether the followers' faith can supply the deities enough to wield their divine power doesn't matter much. It is more than sufficient to support a demigod."

Of course, not many organizations possess this intel. Excluding senior church leaders, only a few realms are aware.

Yes, it's still those few powers going round and round, the circle is too small.

As for why each of these forces knows this information, that's another stirring tale of the past.

After all, the number of holy incarnations that perished on the Star Continent isn't high, but it's certainly not low either.

To literally exhaust a deity to death on the continent and then plunder their divine fire, divinity, or even divine duties to become a New God isn't a singular case.

The closest instance is the former dominator of the previous era, the Elf Realm.

The Elf Gods' ascension ceremony was arguably the smoothest in history.

Or rather, their actions back then were exceedingly swift.

The Underground City shattered too suddenly, the elves surged out and expanded their territory in such a short time that it left various powers bewildered, and even the deities were caught off guard.

But this doesn't imply that deities are weak after the holy presence descends, only that the Godslayers throughout the ages were either embodiments of extreme luck, embodiments of mad power, or both.

The incessantly deployed skills of the holy presence are like glitches to most demigods.

If not for the side effects specific skills have after use, requiring time to calm down (cooldown period), the destructive power unleashed by the holy presence would truly be suffocating.

This reminded Louis of the infinite firepower mode in LOL.

With an endlessly refreshing mana bar and reduced cooldowns, even the most ordinary hero can unleash overpowering strength.

But does that mean ordinary heroes can't kill them?

Clearly not.

Take for example the dog-headed warrior diligently stacking twelve thousand passive levels, hiding in bushes with a flash, directly jumping at an enemy hero when they approach. For an ordinary hero, even in infinite firepower mode, it's basically game over in nightmare mode.

The Emperor is clearly the freak who has stacked passive levels to such an unattainable degree.

Who would dare call him "dog head" upon meeting such an Emperor?

Everyone would respectfully call out "Desert Death God."

And Louis is currently a latecomer walking on this path.

Yes, maybe when he breaks through to legend, very few people would dare speak loudly to him.

He looked at Beatrice and said, "The nearly endless energy supply is the root of why the holy presence can act with impunity on the continent. The Hall of Greed has given me some possibilities to mimic such power."

"Sounds good, tell me more," Beatrice raised an eyebrow and said. "With your current situation, everything already seems perfect. What capability can further enhance your power?"

Louis said with a smile, "Didn't you just say that the faith provided by the temple is the prerequisite for the holy presence to explode fervently?"

Beatrice's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her own Louis had gained a method similar to utilizing faith power?

Louis didn't keep her in suspense and directly said, "The Hall of Greed needs to be built with various rare treasures and large quantities of materials. By expanding the hall, more followers can be accommodated.

Five percent of the extraordinary energy of followers will be converted into part of the Hall of Greed's energy pool, which can supply me with combat power at a 1:1 ratio."

Beatrice's mouth twitched for a moment, ultimately unable to hold back showing a shocked expression.

This method is truly astonishing.

Don't underestimate the mere five percent, but when quantity stacks up, it really could turn Louis into an energy phoenix of sorts.

Demigods' energy is indeed strong, but it can't surpass the combined force of 10,000 exemplars.

Yet, a demigod can directly eliminate 10,000 exemplars without special methods coordinating, with little effort.
