Unlike the last time, Soren’s focus this time is not on the Trialists.
He only briefly paid attention to the Cyclops Pirate before shifting his focus to other areas. This time Soren increased the difficulty of the trials, raising the scale to a small-scale conflict of the Abyssal Blood War, continually increasing the number of Demon Legions, while also adding some elite troops to the Devil Legion.
It must be said that the concept of a super era can sometimes feel a bit lonely.
Although Soren set some hidden plots and tasks in the Battle Flag Trial, so far none of the Trialists have thought of these.
They are more like warriors going through the trials.
Due to Soren’s increase in the scale of battle, the likelihood of cannon fodder dying has increased several times compared to the last time. Although the trial battles have just begun, someone has already died within the first five minutes.
Soren is paying close attention to those who have died.
The first to die is the Captain of the Guards from Modo City, who, as a mercenary on the Devil’s side, unfortunately came across a Six-armed Serpent Demon. Although this guard captain possessed high-level strength, he barely lasted for about three minutes in front of the powerful Six-armed Serpent Demon before being killed. With his death, a trace of soul power was stripped away, while the power of slaughter converged onto Soren. This deceased Trialist quickly awakened and was sent back to the real world, and when he opened his eyes, the crystal lid of the sarcophagus had been opened, and standing in front of him was an Iron Golem.
“Trialist.”
“You have completed the trial.”
The Iron Golem spoke in a deep voice: “Now please leave with me.”
To prevent other Trialists from being disturbed, there are Iron Golems specifically assigned to guard, and their intelligence has also been enhanced by Alice.
The recently deceased person looked visibly unwilling, but after experiencing death once, he appeared somewhat sluggish, and the shock to his mind was significant, murmuring, “Damn! If I had another chance, I could definitely escape from the enemy.”
Before he could respond, the Iron Golem had already taken him away.
Once this Trialist got up, the runes carved inside the sarcophagus gradually faded. At the very moment of his death, all these runes had lit up.
The battles in the trial are still ongoing.
Although Soren increased the difficulty, the number of people entering this time has clearly increased, with a significant increase in elites among them.
However, following the death of the first person and their exit from the trial, deaths began to occur consecutively; the Iron Golems continuously brought people out, and after about half an hour, more than sixty people had died in the trial.
But!
This time, no one has completely died because they could not pass the will exemption determination upon returning from death.
All the exiting Trialists only temporarily felt mentally weak, and this level of weakness did not threaten their lives.
“Very good!”
“It seems my modifications have been successful.”
Out of over a hundred Trialists, now half have completed the trials, but none have died, this effect is far better than Soren’s last attempt.
At this moment, he finally had time to focus on the remaining Trialists.
With the increase in numbers, the chance of discovering hidden tasks has also increased. Those who survive the first half hour are all relatively intelligent people, and some have already discovered that although they are mercenaries, they can also recruit troops for battle. This greatly reduces the probability of death and provides opportunities to encircle and kill more powerful enemies.
Soren is paying attention to these people while pondering other matters, murmuring, “It seems the Battle Flag Trial is getting on the right track.”
“However, if I want to promote it, I need to think of other methods.”
“Not everyone can gain promotion through the Battle Flag Trial. Should I add a point system for the next test?”
“Score based on kills in the Battle Flag plane!”
“And then reward the excellent ones with rich rewards! If there are really excellent talents, then even granting them a bit of divinity value is not a big deal!”
Clearly, the trial alone cannot satisfy Soren’s desire to set things up.
He feels that some interesting elements should be added, and the Battle Flag Trial was originally designed with a corresponding reward system.
At this moment, the number of deaths among the Trialists increased again; there were now only about ten living Trialists left, and the Cyclops Pirate was one of them!
His expression was extremely excited.
Because he had just independently killed a Soul Judge, a quasi-legendary level enemy. The fact that he could defeat it was a matter of life and death, but he happened to seize a glimmer of hope during the battle.
This feeling is marvelous.
Though he is now gravely wounded, his spirits remain high.
Next comes a large-scale assault; the Demon Legion launches an all-out attack on the Devil’s Iron Fortress. This time, not only do a large number of intermediate demons appear, but even Balroth Demons and Balroth Fire Demons have also appeared. In such an intense battle, the chances of survival are very low unless one has either completed hidden tasks from the beginning or possesses high-level legendary strength.
So it is beyond doubt.
Everyone died in the general assault. When all the Trialists had died, Soren finally had time to check what he had gained.
The Killing Experience can be disregarded, as it has all been merged into the Battle Flag plane.
What Soren gained is the power of slaughter generated from the deaths of Trialists. These over one hundred Trialists brought Soren about twenty points of Divine Power Value!
Twenty points of Divine Power Value!
When Soren first ascended to godhood, he accumulated only about two points of Divine Power Value in a day.
These over one hundred Trialists are equivalent to all the Divine Power Value Soren has accumulated over the course of about three days, comparable to dozens of zealots continuously performing prayer rituals.
This reward is too bountiful!
Soren could not help but think that if the Battle Flag Trial could be expanded, wouldn’t he easily acquire multiples of the Divine Power Value of other deities?
The gods have fallen to the mortal realm in a cleared state.
Don’t be misled by the fact that Soren’s divine personality can currently hold more than three thousand points of Divine Power Value; this accumulation has never surpassed one thousand points.
As long as the Battle Flag Trial can be expanded, Soren can continuously harvest Divine Power Value, and with Divine Power Value, Soren can easily enchant a large number of weapons, requiring only a small amount of materials to create first-tier legendary items, thus quickly achieving a balance between gains and investments.
………………
(PS: First update. In a full state of Divine Power Value, Soren can withstand about 33,000 points of physical damage when activating the Divine Power Shield.) (To be continued ~^~)
