Chapter 143 Tracking Down Cyric! 【Ask for a Recommendation Ticket】
this night.
Sauron felt something in the dark.
This is a very wonderful feeling, which is the resonance brought by the divinity of death and killing. At the same time, Sauron also has a sense of crisis. This represented the arrival of someone with powers from the same source as himself.
"Cyric?"
Sauron stood on the top of the Arcane Tower, and the cold wind in the night sky blew his long hair. He hadn't taken care of his hair for a long time, and the gods didn't need it, but because of the saint's form, his body Still maintaining the human metabolism, the real god form is to turn the body into an energetic existence. Because Cyric has been sealed for too long and has lost his church, his coming is different from other gods. His movement will be smaller, and his power will be weaker than other gods at the beginning. But killing itself is a source of strength that can easily be improved, as long as Cyric is given a chance, he can recover quickly.
There are only a few sources left of the inheritance of the power of the three gods of death.
The first source is Cyric. He used to be the greatest victor, but it is a pity that he died and became disabled.
The second source is Kelemvor, who took over part of Cyric's power and existed for a long time because of Jergal's assistance. But now Jergal may not be very satisfied with him, because the outbreak of the undead plague already represents a huge conflict between his teachings and other undead monarchs. Jergal's own position is very subtle, and no one can predict what his existence cares about.
The third source is the Fear Demon God, who created the Fear God Son, who is now completely replaced by Vivian and Lilian.
The last source is the blood of Sauron.
That is to say, the unsung hero who killed the God of Slaughter - Baal in the beginning, but finally gave up inheriting the priesthood and spent his life as a mortal. This person is the most terrifying existence, and countless legendary creatures have died under his hands, but it is hard to imagine that he would give up becoming a god at the last moment and spend his life as a mortal.
The priesthood of killing was taken by Cyric in this way, otherwise there must be another one in the struggle of the three gods of death.
The bloodline of this being is already very meager, and Sauron should be the only successor, and this kind of succession is more due to the gathering of other forces. His ability was very weak at the beginning, but with the killing and death, Sauron's killing divinity became more and more concentrated, which itself was a terrifying power derived from plundering.
"According to the trajectory of history, Cyric's first target should be the gods related to death and killing."
Sauron was thinking silently, recalling everything in the past, and murmured: "But history has been changed by me. I am Cyric's number one enemy now, but he should not find me so soon, then He has few targets from which to choose."
Although Cyric is very weak, he still has a foundation of medium divine power.
If he hadn't crippled himself, this evil guy would definitely be like the Child of Destiny. But since he read the Cyric scriptures himself, this guy's luck has taken a turn for the worse. He was originally the strongest and powerful divine power, but it took a lot of power to create the Cyric scriptures. He read the evil books that would be affected, but he read it by himself, and finally fell into a boundless self-worship. Although he recovered by chance later, madness had penetrated Cyric's soul, and since then his luck like the protagonist's halo has disappeared.
First, he failed successively in the struggle against the god of tyranny, Bane, and then he was tricked by the joint efforts of Kelanvor and Midnight. In the end, he was directly sealed for thousands of years, and even the church dissipated.
"correct!"
Sauron seemed to have thought of something, and murmured, "Goddess of Magic! Midnight! King of the Dead! Kelenvor!"
"These two are definitely Cyric's most hated enemies!"
"I'm afraid Cyric wants to kill them even in his dreams. Although the goddess of magic is missing now, the news of her serious injury will definitely be known. Kelenvor has also had an accident now. With Cyric's hatred for them, it is certain I will find a way to deal with these two. Then as long as there is a little trace, maybe I can find a way to find something."
What Cyric hated most was Kelemvor, one of his fateful rivals, and then Midnight, the goddess of magic, whom he desperately wanted revenge on.
"If I were Cyric, what should I do now?"
Sauron is used to reverse thinking. At this time, he assumed that he was Cyric, and said to himself: "If I were Cyric, I would have just broken the seal and escaped, and my strength would definitely be very weak. The church basically All destroyed, in this case, my strength is at most high-level legendary, so the first thing I have to do now is to hide and find a way to restore my strength."
"So."
"What method should I use to restore my strength at this time?"
"Blood sacrifice!"
"This is the most direct and the fastest and most effective way of recovery. It can quickly become a demigod and at the same time return to the form of a saint. However, it is impossible to restore my current strength with ordinary biological blood sacrifices. At least it is high A legendary creature, or a creature with divinity."
"If it's such a creature, then the target range is reduced a lot."
Cyric is the evil god.
That kind of very orthodox evil god.
So Cyric is different from Sauron, he accepts and enjoys the blood sacrifice.
If you want him to restore his strength, he must be a creature above a high-level legend, preferably a divine creature. If the scope is reduced to this scale, then the targets that Cyric can use will be reduced a lot.
"How to find him?"
Sauron fell into deep thought, and said to himself: "At present, the most high-level legendary creatures in the material plane are liches, undead, devils, and demons. Almost all high-level legendary creatures in mortals occupy an important position, so The existence of is too difficult to kill and too obvious, it is easy to expose yourself."
There are many high-level legends in the material plane, but their status is very special.
For example [Eye of the Northland] is a high-level legendary witch, but her status is the ruler of the tower of the Northland. The strong ones, or the real power faction within the race.
"Elves, dwarves, orcs, humans."
Sauron continued to deduce along the line of thought, and murmured: "These four races can be ruled out. The possibility of exposure is too high. As far as the current environment is concerned, undead, demons, and devils are the most suitable."
"The trace of the devil is too difficult to find, the devil has retreated to the bottomless abyss."
"Then undead is the greatest possibility."
"Cyric possesses the priesthood of murder, conspiracy, lies, deceit, and illusion. Murder is the evolution of death, and he has the highest possibility of doing something to the undead."
The idea suddenly became clear.
Sauron continued to deduce: "With Cyric's ability and priesthood, I am afraid that the blood sacrifice of the first step has been successful now. If he wants to plot to kill a lich, no one should be able to stop him. Then he should be At least the strength of the demigod has been restored."
No mortal can stop Cyric.
Nowadays, there are many undead on the material plane, including demilicches and divine undead. Cyric can recover a lot of power as long as he finds one to kill.
There was nothing Sauron could do to stop this.
And because of the priesthood of illusion, lies, and deceit, Cyric is very good at deceiving and hiding, and the possibility of finding it is extremely low.
"If you restore the power of a demigod."
Sauron continued to meditate, and said to himself: "Then the next part is to restore the true God's strength. This requires more blood sacrifices, more divinity, and a church."
"The Church of Cyric has dissipated."
"Then with a certain strength, He will definitely re-create the church. Then there will be fewer options for Him to choose."
"Either kill a certain god and pretend to be him to receive faith."
"Either it is to rebuild the church. This is a very difficult thing. It is impossible without a few hundred years. Even my church was completed by the church of the half-elf god at the beginning. The queen of the spider god once killed a The gods, and then pretend to be him to receive the faith, and the truth is not revealed until it is fully controlled."
"Cyric is very likely to do so."
Divine power will not be possessed for no reason, and Cyric needs to recover step by step.
"if it is like this."
"Which god will Cyric choose as his target? First, this god can't be too powerful, and second, this god must have some connection with him, preferably with one of his priesthood! The target of the spider queen's killing is the darkness The gods of the region, then the scope of Cyric's choice of target will be much narrower."
"With his current strength, even with the addition of conspiracy and tricks, he can only kill weak gods to gods with medium power."
"So."
"If the scope is narrowed down, the only targets he may choose are left."
With a wave of Sauron's hand, the map of the gods appeared in front of his eyes. At present, all the gods of all races in the material plane are in his knowledge. If some people with backgrounds that must not be provoked are deducted, the range of choices is very small.
………………
at the same time.
In a dark basement, the body of a dead lich is in the center of an altar.
The light of joy appeared in Cyric's eyes, and the radiance of divinity appeared on him. He said with a ferocious expression: "What a stupid guy! Do you think that the phylactery can fight against the gods? What a naive idiot!"
The power of the soul is plundered, and the flame of divinity is integrated into the body.
Cyric absorbed the power contentedly, and restored himself to a demigod state. It is easier for a god to fight a lich than imagined, especially for a god related to death, which can directly destroy the phylactery of a lich when killing the opponent . The Lich's soul fire turned into Cyric's power, and he quickly recovered his strength while thinking about his next target.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy at this moment!
