It was obviously just an ordinary sound wave, but it hit Teresa like an attack, but this attack was not physical, but spiritual.
The desires in Theresa's heart are getting more and more intense, encouraging her to indulge in killing, indulging in pleasure, indulging in everything that makes her feel happy, and even indulging in things that cause her pain.
The encouraging voice was full of temptation, and it seemed that as long as Teresa nodded, she would get endless happiness.
"Hold on, child. Any resistance to desire and happiness can strengthen your will and make your spirit stronger. Use desire to fight desire. Think about your brothers, sisters, and your family. You have to protect them, don't you?"
A trace of green energy floated out of the thick purple mist and sank into Teresa's body, while an encouraging voice sounded in her heart.
"Hmph~" The weird mouth didn't speak anymore, but snorted coldly.
"It is easy to fall, but it is difficult to persevere. Persistence requires courage, will, and belief. You are a warrior, you can bleed, be injured, or die in battle! But you cannot lose to your inner desires. In other words, your desire is victory and success, not the enjoyment of depravity!"
Another trace of blood-red energy floated out of the purple mist, seeping into Teresa's forehead, making her determined and awake.
With the help of her new strength, Teresa cheered up. She scolded lightly, pulled out the sword stuck in the ground, cut her hand, and then inserted the sword into the ground.
A slight trembling force spread out with the sword's edge as a shock wave, dissipating a lot of the surrounding purple mist, and it was not as dense as it was at the beginning.
The weird mouth disappeared, and a purple eye was revealed, staring at Theresa who had stood up.
Teresa also opened her eyes, her blue pupils filled with determination and courage, without a trace of confusion or wavering. She raised her head and looked at the eyeballs that were larger than her body.
"Yes, yes. You have passed another test, and your mental power has become stronger. I am a little reluctant to send you to take risks..." The voice of the Prince of Darkness sounded in Theresa's heart again.
Green and red energy surged in the purple mist, seeming to be very opposed to the words of the Prince of Darkness.
"I just sighed, of course I will not forget the most important plan." The Prince of Darkness immediately comforted Shroud, who was as powerful as himself.
"But, your mental strength is not enough... next time, at the same time, I will come again."
Having said that, Shroud's influence on reality is over. The ground no longer feels soft when your feet step on it, the purple haze disappears, and the surrounding walls become clear.
After carefully sensing it with her mental power, Theresa was sure that the god had left. She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and took off her armor. The clothes underneath were soaked with sweat.
When she was about to take a bath and take a rest, a flash of inspiration flashed in Theresa's mind, and a crystal clear crystal suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky.
After reaching out and grabbing the crystal firmly, Teresa looked at it carefully and said, "Shroud crystal..."
With a wave of her hand, Psionics turned into various parts like magic in Teresa's hands, and then combined into a special observation light.
A beam of light shone on the crystal, and printed on the wall were three marks, representing the God of War, the Lord of Desire, and the Father of Life respectively.
Even though Teresa was mentally prepared, she never expected that she would receive the favor of three gods this time. This was extremely rare. It was a huge 'gift' for an ordinary mortal to be seen by the gods.
Mortals who absorb the power in the Shroud crystal will become more powerful, become Shroud creatures, and become immortal easily. But the biggest role of the crystal is not like this. It is also a waste for mortals to absorb the Shroud crystal.
Its greatest function is to serve as an anchor, opening the door to the real universe and Shroud, and summoning the Shroud fleet. A crystal like the one in Teresa's hand can summon at least three thousand Shroud fleets.
These Shroud fleets are also different. The fleet of the God of War is more comprehensive and has the highest attack and defense power; the fleet of the Lord of Desire is the most maneuverable and has good attack power; the fleet of the Father of Life has higher defense and the ability to recover itself.
Teresa also understood that there was a purpose for her being favored by so many gods. She was nominally a believer in the Lord of Desire, but she belonged to all the gods.
She is a chess piece, a chess piece used by the gods to negotiate with the natural disaster Swarm.
The gods told her a lot, including that the natural disaster Swarm was originally lured by Shroud. The purpose was to use the power of the natural disaster Swarm to make Shroud more powerful, not limited to one galaxy, but to expand to the entire universe.
According to the trajectory of fate, after Swarm's Overmind was reborn, in order to unify Swarm, he would communicate with the gods and reach a deal after establishing a link with Shroud, and the two parties established a very good cooperative relationship.
But because of her ancestors, her fate changed. After Overmind woke up, she became hostile to Shroud, constantly interfered with Shroud with powerful mental power, and also tried to study how to separate Shroud from the universe.
And she is the chess piece to resolve hostility. She exercises her mental power in order not to be overwhelmed by Overmind's mental power during communication.
The microphone is too fragile, how can we let God-like powerful beings communicate with each other?
Teresa didn't care too much about being used as a tool. Her life no longer belonged to her. As long as she could protect her brothers, sisters and family for a moment longer, she didn't care even if she lost her life or her soul was tortured.
After using Psionics, water from the pool nearby flew over, and clean clothes floated up and swirled around Teresa. Bathing and changing clothes didn't take much time for Teresa. After such a long period of training, using Psionics was as easy as breathing for her.
After Teresa, fully dressed, walked out of the door of the underground altar, two lust demons at the door knelt down on one knee to salute her. At the end of the gorgeous corridor, there was an eight-meter-tall 'desire demon' with five arms (claws) and also knelt down towards Teresa.
Such a huge monster also has a special name, the Ascetic. Although the authority of the Lord of Desire is related to desire, the teachings advocate both indulgence and abstinence. Only those who can control their strong desires can develop stronger martial arts.
"Go to Master Sun Yun and ask him to prepare an advent ceremony. The power of the church has been strengthened again." Teresa ordered the ascetic.
"Yes, Archbishop." The ascetic kowtowed to Teresa, grew a pair of wings, and flew into the sky.
After the ascetic left Teresa's sight, she lowered her head and glanced at the Shroud crystal again, thinking in her heart, "The power of God is so powerful, where will this galaxy really go in the future..."
