His Divinity Decided to Become an Idol for Faith
The immense magical power accumulated within the umbrella pulsed, all the runes aligned themselves, and a terrifying attack was taking shape.
The umbrella was originally an ordinary Oil-Paper Umbrella, which Lu Li used to shield himself from the sun after transforming into a semi-shadow creature. He then replaced the umbrella ribs with Flood Dragon bones and Integration a spatial module, gaining the ability to control and store water vapor.
Then, Lu Li used the Pumpkin Trousers given to him by the River of Wisdom in Fairy Tale Town as fabric to create a powerful magical item. After Lu Li started crafting magical items himself, he also made some adjustments. Now, the umbrella is incredibly powerful.
The accumulated magic power surged out, transformed by the runes on the umbrella's surface, becoming a terrifying torrent of magic. Countless dark Shadow Magic were converted into black flames, forming black pillars of fire that rushed directly towards Zeng Yunge on the opposite side.
Zeng Yunge narrowed her eyes and quickly raised her hand to block in front of her. The God's Right Hand that followed also blocked the black pillar of fire.
"Bang!!"
The pillar of fire struck the God's Right Hand, stirring up a large amount of dust. Supported by the magic within the umbrella, the relentless pillar of fire pierced through the God's Right Hand and rushed towards Zeng Yunge and the other two. Then, in the next moment, Guan Hongge appeared in front of the pillar of fire, his muscles bulging and transforming into jet-black steel. The magical power gradually faded, the huge black pillar of fire disappeared, and the God's Right Hand degenerated into White Vapor Hand. A hole in it was being rapidly filled. Guan Hongge, who was blocking the pillar of fire, radiated high temperatures and emitted white steam, as if he had just come out of a sauna.
On his chest, a large chunk of flesh was charred. He looked down at his chest, twisted his neck, and a large amount of white aura overflowed from his body. At the same time, Zeng Yunge was also charred.
The two white wisps rapidly merged, transforming into a giant of white mist floating in the air. The giant of white mist quickly condensed and shrank, transforming into a strange creature entirely white. It looked at Lu Li and said calmly, "Human, having seen the true form of a god, why don't you kneel down and repent for your sins?"
"I see." Lu Li glanced at Zeng Yunge and Guan Hongge both unconscious, and understood. "You parasitized them a long time ago, and you may have even merged and replaced their self-awareness."
"They're just two mortals who have inherited the power of the gods," the white creature said calmly, as if noticing Lu Li's disdainful gaze. "It's undeniable that mortals can indeed possess the power of gods through technology. Even though I am a member of a high-ranking divine race, I do need some disguise to live here."
"But that doesn't change the fact that I am a higher being," the white creature said. "I am merely an juvenile form of the divine race. The more power I wield, the closer I get to a true god."
"Human, you are very powerful. Join me, let me bear your strength and hope, your ambition and your pain, and become one with God." The white creature said sincerely, "Isn't God meant to bear everything for all people?"
Looking at the white creature before him, Lu Li realized what kind of creature it was. If Lu Li wasn't mistaken, it was indeed a higher form of life.
Previously, he resided in the bodies of two humans, and influenced by the merged and replaced consciousness of the two humans, his consciousness was similar to that of humans. However, after they abandoned their bodies and transformed into this white entity, they began to call themselves gods, which is quite different from before.
Based on the Theseus Magic Society, the courses in the Mi University's Department of Mysteries, and some information that Lu Li had collected over the years, he roughly deduced what kind of creature it was.
People tend to project their own unfulfilled desires or needs onto others. For example, a famous saying from parents is, "I myself suffered because I didn't go to school, so you must study hard for me."
Regardless of whether this statement is right or wrong, the fact remains that parents impose their own will on their children, and this will may be good or bad for the children.
In addition, there is the so-called praying to gods and Buddhas. Regardless of whether this behavior is right or wrong, the fact is that most people entrust things that they cannot achieve themselves to so-called gods and Buddhas. Of course, some people do it for the so-called inner peace.
This kind of behavior, which cannot be achieved on its own but entrusts one's thoughts to other beings, may generate something called faith in the West and incense in the East. Of course, there is another explanation, which is mixed with a lot of legends about personal spiritual emotions.
According to records within the Theseus Magic Society, a large amount of faith coalesces into this white vapor-like substance, and when combined with some sound and light effects, a new god of faith is created.
If Lu Li's guess was correct, the strange white creature before him was perhaps such a god of faith, and indeed, that was quite close to the truth.
The white creature originated from a relatively isolated world, created by the faith of its inhabitants. Unfortunately, just as it had taken shape and gained consciousness, and was preparing to perform some miracles to attract more believers, it was accidentally brought to the Starshine World.
In a world like Starshine World, where science and supernatural abilities exist, there's simply no market for proselytizing. So, to save the faith of Starshine World, this god decides to become an idol... no, a hero.
This deity, through some unknown means, possessed the body of someone then called Zeng Yun, and then split off a large portion of it, which entered Guan Hong's body. According to Him, this was to absorb Guan Hong's power.
"What you say makes sense, but I will never accept you as a god, and I will never place my hopes on someone else." Lu Li refused directly.
"Ignorant humans," the white creature said calmly, then turned to Zhang Yanqige, "So, are you willing to accept the burden of God?"
"My life belongs to my elder brother," Zhang Yanqige sighed, then opened his arms and said, "Come on."
Lu Li narrowed his eyes, took out three items, threw them directly at the other side, and then transformed into a crow and flew away. The white creature was probably performing some kind of completion ritual. Only a fool would let the BOSS slowly transform; interrupting it with a powerful attack was the correct approach.
One of the things Lu Li threw out was a byproduct of the Shadow Creature transformation experiment conducted in the Candy House, a one-time-use item that could provoke Wrath: the Madness Stone.
The other two items are: one is the Starshine World's native technological power: the Energy Magnetic Storm Grenade, which can cause structural damage to energy or mechanical beings. Belief beings should be classified as energy life forms.
The other is a modified item made by Lu Li himself, the Shadow Contamination Grenade, which contains a large amount of Shadow Magic. Combined with Lu Li's Crazy Mark modification, it not only has good power but can also cause secondary magic contamination.
