Chapter 277: Chapter 147
What was an unexpected gain? This was!
Sui Xiong followed the gods of mankind to attack the Cloud City just to help Wall vent his anger and rid his heart of resentment. Besides, he had never thought that he would gain anything. From the bottom of his heart, he had always been an honest and generous man, not a philistine and greedy guy.
However, when he found that the God of Sun had used special means to turn all the angels under his command into dull, puppet-like images, he was suddenly inspired. He rushed subconsciously to the love angel’s side and sealed her up before the God of Sun began to swallow and absorb her.
He didn’t even have time to think about why he would do that, because it was subconscious. It wasn’t until he was beaten by the God of Sun that he came to realize why he would do it.
This was a living Department of Therapy! An excellent nurse!
As was known to them all, when one downloaded a dungeon in the game, one didn’t need a front-row shield with a strong defense and mocking skills that could also attract the attention of monsters, nor did one need a powerful output with strong aggression like a meat grinder. But one couldn’t lose with a healing nurse!
Sui Xiong’s church of Void Mask had always lacked a god of Department of Therapy. They didn’t intend to suffer losses in the battle of gods, but it would be a disadvantage for ordinary people and even for the clergymen and priests of the church.
In this world, the magic of clergyman and priests was divided into two parts. One was the universal magic which could be learned by any caster, such as illumination magic and mind magic, but this kind of magic was very rare with weak power. The other was the divine magic that came from their own gods.
Divinity itself was divided into three parts. The first part was called domain divinity. Each god possessed the spells of many fields. Although a clergyman or priest was an ordinary person, they could also choose some of the domain spells that only belonged to gods as his own field under the guidance of divine power once he obtained the corresponding spells. However, ordinary people could only master one or two domains, and few divine spells could be derived from one domain, so domain divinity could only be used as a supplement by a spell-caster.
The second part was called exclusive divinity, which referred to the spells derived from the clergy of gods, and this kind of divinity could be mastered by any priest or clergyman and was the foundation of the whole church. The more clergy a god mastered, the deeper understanding he would have, and the stronger exclusive divinity he could provide. That was why many gods tried to pursue more clergy.
The third part was called extensive divinity, which was the welfare of the gods who joined the holy pedigree. As welfare for joining in the holy pedigree, his priest and clergyman could share the spells derived from other core clergy of gods in the holy pedigree. Although a god could only provide a small amount of extensive divinity, if the holy pedigree was large enough, they could provide much extensive divinity.
Sui Xiong himself didn’t even have a clergy, and his follower Wall’s clergy was education, knowledge, and culture. At present, this pure soldier was turning into an intellectual and perhaps would turn into a knowledgeable scholar after thousands of years. However, neither exclusive divinity or extensive divinity included therapy methods.
With regard to the domain divinity, Sui Xiong had the therapy domain, but an ordinary person could only choose a few domains total. Few priests or clergymen would choose the therapy domain specially. On the contrary, his strengthening domain was particularly popular, and there were also many people who chose the death domain. The domains of ice, sea, lightning, wind, darkness, cunning, illusion, wisdom, knowledge, anger, seal, redemption, creation, and joy were not hot spots, but they all had their own advantages. When his followers became priests or clergymen, less than a fifth of the people would choose the therapy domain, thus getting the healing spells.
Wall’s followers didn’t master the therapy at all, and none of his priests or clergymen catered in therapy spells.
If a God follower with the therapy clergy at his core could be recruited, all the priests and clergymen of the church of the Void Mask could receive therapy spells through extensive divinity. Therefore, all the casters in this church would get the nurse’s ability and become strong supporters of the team.
Sui Xiong’s subordinate Arcadian had the great opportunity to become the God of Medicine, but even if he became the God of Medicine, his clergy “medicine” was not to use spells to cure people, but to improve the effects of drugs or to create medicine quickly, or to analyze diseases in order to choose appropriate medicine. It was very useful in aiding the world and saving people, but it was useless when used as an emergency cure on the battlefield.
Therefore, Sui Xiong had been thinking of recruiting such a God follower.
However, there were few gods whose core mission was healing! And those whose clergy was therapy were protected carefully for any holy pedigree. For the human holy pedigree, this time, the whole group had gone out to fight their enemies. They hadn’t sent out the God with healing clergy at his core.
It was the same with the arcs holy pedigree. Even if they used Divide Attention Magic to divide themselves into many parts to fight with the God of Knight, they would not ask the God with therapy clergy to participate in the war.
As far as Sui Xiong knew, none of the gods whose core mission was healing had joined in the holy pedigree.
He could try to poach gods with therapy clergy from human or orcs’ holy pedigree, or from the war holy pedigree. Of course, poaching from the God of Pain was more practical, for the God of Pain was relatively weak in fighting and had fewer hands. As long as he wielded his home well, he could certainly poach gods with therapy clergy successfully.
But to be honest, these things were too far away to be predicted. At least in the foreseeable future, they couldn’t be realized.
Therefore, when Sui Xiong found the love angel whose predecessor was the God of Therapy, he had already had his eyes on her subconsciously.
After the God of Sun was beaten, his angels were either killed or captured and transformed by human gods, so why not catch one of them?
This was called war profit…
Human thinking was very fast. When Sui Xiong was beaten by the God of Sun and fell to the ground with his upper body burning black, he had pondered over many things.
After careful consideration, he had finally decided to keep this trophy, even if he would have to fight with gods of mankind for it.
In other words, his relationships were not that good, and the God of Justice and him were brothers, but the God of Justice and the Lord of Light were rivals. From this perspective, his practice had been totally right.
It was reasonable to strengthen himself and weaken enemies, including hidden enemies.
As he was thinking, the God of Sun had absorbed all the angels that could be absorbed, and his flame burned so violently and fiercely that even far away, Sui Xiong could still feel it burning hot.
But this was not the end!
The God of Sun continued roaring and his body grew bigger, turning into a huge fireball that fired lots of red light arrows out in all directions. The light arrows with powerful penetrating force raged through the Cloud City, penetrating everything that wasn’t strong enough in defense. Whether it was a building or a believer, or even an oracle, all collapsed and turned into a fire light that flowed back to his body and became parts of the fireball.
“What the f*ck!” Sui Xiong shouted with great surprise and became very small, rushing to the back of the God of Protection. The shield of the God of Protection was big enough to protect several gods, including the God of Aristocracy and the God of City. It should have been no problem to protect a fist-sized green jellyfish.
The God of Protection deserved to be the strongest in human holy pedigree, only inferior to the Lord of Light. Facing such an attack, although he was bombarded by the light arrows, he withstood them.
“This situation is good!” Sui Xiong suggested, “Shall we withdraw?”
The resolute face of the God of Protection showed a little worry, but then became as strong as iron. “I will not retreat without the emperor’s order.”
Sui Xiong sighed and gave up persuading. This big man seemed to be a die-hard and he would not waste time on him.
Fortunately, the order from the Lord of Light came soon.
When the God of Sun, who was incarnated as a fireball, sprayed out a large wave of light arrows, the sun throne located in the center of the cloud city collapsed suddenly, a huge figure coming out.
This figure wore a set of knight’s heavy armor with a huge hammer in his hand, and came roaring over while the earth trembled and the mountains swayed.
He was so tall that he naturally suffered hits from lots of light arrows, but when they struck him, they could only clank his armor, not hinder him.
“So that’s why you deprived the gods of their clergy. You wanted to gather all the clergy and then impact the great divine power.” This huge giant was the Lord of Light. He didn’t rush to kill the God of Sun after being hit by him with a hammer. Instead, he searched the sun throne for a while.
And he found something interesting…
He did not mean to talk with the God of Sun in detail. He signed, turned his head to the God of Protection who was still struggling to support him, and said, “Now you can retreat and wait for me in the Country of Light.”
The God of Protection obeyed his orders and led all the people to retreat immediately. All the way along, he took the gods in human holy pedigree and other oracles who were still lucky to be alive with them and quickly retreated along the road they had entered before, soon leaving the Cloud City.
Although this battle of gods wasn’t over yet, at least it had been a victory for them.
