Divinity.

An extremely powerful force!

Deities have three core components: divinity, divine persona, and divine profession.

Divinity can be understood as the “Divine Bloodline”. The physical form of a deity belongs to an energy state, not the flesh and blood body of mortals, so deities basically do not suffer any lethal injuries, meaning they are immune to any fatal attacks. Even if they fall to the realm of saints, they are still semi-energy forms; a deity would not immediately die from being pierced through the heart and can even continue to exist without a heart. Therefore, many divine beings are immune to backstabs. (They are immune to fatal damage, but attacks to certain areas still have critical effects, which significantly increase the damage.)

Divinity is an extremely powerful bloodline power.

It can be bestowed by deities upon their believers, or it can remain within their offspring. The level of divinity is the same as the divine persona.

It can be classified into “Weakened Divinity”, “Inferior Divinity”, “Moderate Divinity”, and “Superior Divinity”.

One tier of divinity can increase all attributes by +1!

This is equivalent to an average increase of 12 attribute points given by 12 profession levels, and it also reduces any damage by 10%. The power of divinity can offset any physical and magical damage, and it can also counteract and stack with the damage reduction provided by divine persona. The power of laws will integrate into the divine body, and a deity with strong divine power can normally mitigate about 90% of any damage.

Apart from the demigod lich who can barely achieve about 90%-95% physical damage reduction relying on an undead body, no other beings can match the powerful divine beings.

The ability attached by the demon bloodline is an extremely weakened divine bloodline.

There are many powerful demons in the Abyss that possess divinity. Moreover, the level of divinity they hold is also quite high, so even if they are not demon gods, they fearlessly face powerful deities.

The powers granted by divinity are certainly not limited to these; Soren only understands the most basic additional abilities.

Depending on the type of divinity, there may be extra spell-like abilities, supernatural abilities, planar law powers, and so on. Many beings possess strong divinity without a divine persona or divine profession, such as element giants, greater demons, hundred-armed giants, divine bastards, etc. These divine beings possess standard divinity without having a divine persona, let alone a divine profession.

However, they are by no means weaker than many deities!

………………

The Demon Son of Fear certainly does not possess a divine profession.

Divine profession is established based on having a divine persona. The divine persona of the Demon God of Fear still resides in the Abyss, embedded in his soul. What he has distributed is his own divinity and divine power. This divine power is like a barrel of refined gasoline; once used up, it is essentially gone. Those who master the divine persona provide continuous divine power to them, so their divine power keeps flowing. If he cuts off the supply of divine power, all of the Demon Son of Fear’s divine power will rapidly decrease.

The Elven Ranger has divine power. She also has divinity but lacks a divine persona and divine profession.

At the moment Soren killed him, divine power transferred to Vivian; logically speaking, divinity should have also transferred to Vivian.

However, divinity is a type of soul-like energy; even between deities, killing one another can deprive the other of their divinity!

So now the divinity has been absorbed by Soren into his body.

Don’t think this is a good thing. Although divinity can bring powerful strength, it also contains the will of the Demon God of Fear, which can simply be understood as a fragmented soul becoming divine energy.

Divine power is gathered in one son of the deity.

Divinity is also gathered in one son of the deity.

The soul fragments of the Demon God of Fear merge within the body of the son of the deity, becoming a new soul mark of the Demon God of Fear. His will will also shift to the son of the deity who has merged a large amount of divinity, ultimately destroying the other’s soul and reclaiming all the divine power for resurrection!

This is a contest of wills!

It is also the most difficult battlefield of wills ever; many deities, after defeating their opponents, find that their own wills have been influenced by the divinity of others.

In the process of merging divinity, there is a highly difficult will determination!

If your will is greater than the opponent’s, the power of divinity completely becomes your power; if your will is lower than the opponent’s, the remaining will of the opponent will influence your consciousness. It may even occupy your consciousness and resurrect. Many deities have eccentric personalities; these eccentricities are key to being swayed by divinity.

The residual divinity retains the core will of its original deity. For example, the power of desire divinity has led successive deities who have held desire divinity to be temperamental and enthusiastic about various pleasures, enjoying incomprehensible activities. These deities have fallen and alternated through generations, but the manifest personalities remain similar, as they are influenced by the lingering power of divinity.

The more extreme the will of divinity, the more layers of extremes accumulate; the more deities one once possessed, the greater the accumulation of extreme emotions and preferences.

Hence, there have been many mad deities!

Merging divinity is a clash of wills. If Soren can suppress the will left by the Demon God of Fear within the divinity, then he will be able to transform the power of divinity.

If he fails, his consciousness will lean towards demons, and he may even be controlled by them!

Very dangerous.

And very tempting!

The path for mortals to ascend to deities is destined to be filled with thorns; to walk this path, one requires great determination and willpower to reach the end.

How many legendary wizards dare to attain godhood? The reason is that they cannot suppress the will related to divinity.

They fear a dramatic change in their personalities, fear magnifying emotions to extremes, and fear gradually losing themselves. This is deadly for wizards as professionists!

They already possess long lifespans and immense power. Why would they risk everything to attain godhood?

Stepping into the realm of deities is equivalent to entering the battlefield of the gods!

Ten years ago you, ten years later you, your personality is constantly changing, and your behavior is gradually transforming; it is change that keeps everything endless.

From innocence to maturity, from frivolity to composure in dealing with matters.

The greatest danger of divinity is not change, but whether you can maintain your “self” amidst this clash of wills, and not let your true soul lose its direction.

If lost in power, even deities can become mad!

There are many such deities, especially those who attained godhood by chance. In the end, they all exhibit eccentric personalities. That’s why many legendary wizards grow fearful; the number of those who have obtained godhood as wizards does not even reach a handful.

………………

————————————

Soren’s current state is not suitable for absorbing divinity.

Although he is confident in his will, he has not grown arrogant enough to believe he can completely suppress the Demon God of Fear!

However.

If he successfully suppresses this 3 points of divinity, then the will of the Demon God of Fear will disappear significantly. This means the will transferred to the son of the deity, with future plans for resurrection, will thus lose part of its essence. Regardless of where he intends to resurrect in the future, his final will in confrontation will be weakened.

Because part of his soul has been completely devoured and merged by Soren.

The divine power is within Vivian, and the divinity is with Soren.

Although Vivian’s power has been somewhat weakened, a portion of the will test she faces has transferred to Soren!

According to the normal process.

The stronger the power of the Demon Son of Fear, the more divinity gathered within him, thereby increasing his susceptibility to influence. But the current result is that while Vivian’s divine power has doubled, the divinity remains the same.

Soren feels he seems to have found a method to counter the Demon God of Fear.

If all divine power shifts towards Vivian and all the divinity is suppressed by him, then the plan for the Demon God of Fear to resurrect will fail by half.

Vivian possesses strong divine power but has not been influenced by divinity.

The final result is a balance. If the weight tilts towards the fear demon god, the divine persona of fear will transfer to him; if the weight tilts towards Vivian, the divine persona of fear will transfer to her, especially since the divinity of the demon god itself has also dissipated.

Soren seems to have clarified his thoughts as if dispelling the fog.

His expression is cold, and the killing intent in his eyes is strong because he has found a way for a mortal to counter the Demon God of Fear.

That is to kill the other surviving Demon Sons!!!

Killing.

This is what Soren excels at.

Killing for Vivian is the most natural thing.

Just like when needed, the little girl will raise her little head and unhesitatingly say, “You kill. I’ll help you set fire,” Soren has no hesitation in killing those Demon Sons of Fear for Vivian.

A night passed.

As dawn broke, Soren took out a longsword and began practicing the White Raven Sword Technique; combat skills are honed bit by bit by oneself. To master such advanced combat techniques, he still needs to put in the hard work. Specialties can enhance the speed of mastering combat techniques, but cannot directly grant you those techniques.

Wanderers are not impulsive people.

Soren is definitely not that reckless idiot; he needs more arrangements and more strength.

After an hour.

He completed a set of White Raven Sword Technique. The slow movements looked somewhat awkward and lacked any flair, as if each movement had been broken down into dozens, appearing very stiff, with no smooth, stylish demeanor at all. The White Raven Sword Technique is second only to the Cross Sword Technique as a flashy sword technique, high coolness, various sharpness; the fact that Soren practiced it to this extent only shows how dedicated he really is.

Because he learned the military version of the White Raven Sword Technique.

After the innkeeper’s wife got up, she watched for a while and then brought over a basin of hot water with hospitality.

Soren slightly expressed his thanks and wiped his body.

The muscle curves resembling forged steel made her take another look. Many people in this era have strong physiques, with more exaggerated muscle contours than Soren’s, but few are as balanced and solid as he is. Especially with some small muscle groups on his body, even though the innkeeper’s wife doesn’t understand much, she knows that only powerful adventurers possess them.

This represents a kind of explosive power and strong balance and coordination!

Wanderers typically do not have large muscle groups; they appear lean but one look under their clothes reveals the clearly defined small muscle groups they’ve developed. Their combat skills revolve around balance and coordination; during movement, the explosion is not just from the large muscle groups of the chest, arms, or legs.

The more one pursues balance and coordination, the more prominent the small muscle groups become; the more one pursues high explosive strength, the more exaggerated the large muscle groups become. The typical example is barbarians; the large muscle groups in their arms could match the thickness of others’ legs. This indicates their primary focus in strength training.

The latter can be seen at a glance, while the former can only be identified when in battle!

After a simple wash, Soren ate something and headed towards the blacksmith shop. He intends to check on the progress of the curved blade; a suitable weapon is more important than other extraordinary equipment.

Killing.

It mainly relies on the blade. (To Be Continued ~^~)
