People like them who have experienced various dangerous forces and tried to control them have long been accustomed to walking on the edge of a knife.
So in most cases, they are alert enough to realize the extent to which their spiritual will is infected, and how to alleviate or even eliminate this infection.
Of course, this method of mitigation and removal has different effects and subtle differences in the hands of different mages. But the same thing is, if your attainments in magic and control of power have not reached a certain level, it is best not to rashly come into contact with those dangerous forces that you cannot resist for the time being.
They do this by stealing, robbing, and cutting the cake.
Those arrogant wizards who know nothing do this, just using themselves as materials and food to provide a delicious soul feast for the masters of power.
Except for a very small number of relatively orderly demons, the relationship between any other demon and wizard is like a game between fish and fishermen.
The reason why those very few demons don't fish is simply because they have their own exclusive fish ponds. If the fish cannot jump out of the pond, they will sooner or later become their nutrients.
Gu Yi's current path is not to change from one fish pond to another, but she wants to become a fisherman.
This was a path that no Midgard wizard dared to even think about, yet it was also the path all wizards dreamed of. Agatha was no exception.
Even though she knew that the condition Luke proposed might be a trap, Agatha was still willing to take a gamble and try to get that possible miracle. Moreover, she was cornered by Luke at the time and had no other way out.
She took so much trouble to learn the magic of this world, the power of this world, and all the knowledge in this world, naturally in order to construct a battlefield of her own and increase her chances of victory.
But that's not enough.
Judging from the fact that Held was able to control the magical energy of this planet and lock it within a certain output limit, he had an even deeper and more proficient understanding of the magic of this world than she did.
If no other miracle happens, the outcome of her future collision with Held is predictable.
As for escaping?
From the moment their souls connected, they were inevitably entangled. Even if she temporarily blocked the sharing of soul memories, they could still vaguely sense each other's presence. Especially under Luke's manipulation, even if they were separated in two different universes, there would always be a force that would reunite them.
After the energy lock incident, Agatha understood the key. Delaying would not bring her victory, but would make her already low chance of winning even lower.
Perhaps starting the battle the moment the soul connection is established would be the best time for her to win!
She was shocked by the magical power displayed by Held at that time, and her thinking was limited. Since she needed her soul to complete the other party, it was obvious that Held was immature.
As a replica of Ancient One, although she carries Ancient One's magical knowledge and power, there is no doubt that the other party's soul should have been the biggest imperfection at that time.
Very powerful, but rather like a limited puppet. It can also be seen as a fledgling form whose soul has not yet fully formed and escaped the influence of the Ancient One.
She was clearly guided by the other party's display of strength and Luke's words, mistakenly believing that Luke was truly willing to give her a fair chance.
At this moment, a voice in her heart was getting louder and louder, telling her that she had been deceived by the other party.
Perhaps sending them to this world together was part of Luke's plan, just as separating them and sending them to different destinations was also part of the plan.
The one who really needs time to grow and prepare may not have been her, but Held, who seemed strong but whose spirit, will and soul were not necessarily strong.
Decades are enough time for the other party to hone and grow.
Perhaps it was because the other party had grown up that the door of space was opened and he came to the planet where she was.
Agatha could not use words to accurately express the feeling of sudden enlightenment in her heart, but she understood under the control of this emotion that if the guess was true, then whether she was ready or not, she must start the battle of souls as soon as possible.
This was also one of the reasons why she did not continue to hide and was willing to follow Held even though she knew that he might be waiting for her in the Dragon Tower.
It was precisely because of this that she met the ancient god who surprised her so much!
Yes, it's not a shock, it's a surprise!
The other party's strange energy was like a bolt of lightning that pierced the darkness, causing Agatha's heart to beat violently in her chest.
Miracle!
The miracle she had always longed for and looked forward to!
To be honest, she had once gotten information from Aegwynn about the habitats of some guardian dragons and had sneaked in. She didn't necessarily have any bad intentions, but simply wanted to find some strength to fight Held.
Unfortunately, it was difficult for her to sneak into the core of the enemy's territory without alerting the guardian dragon.
Looking at the Ancient God before her, Agatha felt a certain throbbing in her heart. She believed that this was the power she was looking for, the power that could increase her chances of winning the soul battle.
The shadow power of the Ancient Gods is perfectly compatible with the soul and spirit, allowing her methods against the soul and will to become rich and colorful and extremely powerful.
What if she could corrupt Held?
If Held is controlled, will the final winner be, and only be, her?
As for failure?
Any plan could fail. Worst of all, if the situation became irreversible, she could simply infect the other party with her own soul. Just like those weak creatures in nature, they might have little resistance to predators, but once they became highly toxic, with the exception of a few nemesis, at the very least, they could end up in a one-for-one fight with the predator.
Danger?
It was indeed dangerous. But this kind of energy-related danger had been with Agatha for hundreds of years. She had long been accustomed to this pressure.
Looking at the ancient god below who had become smaller due to the height, Agatha quickly made a decision in her heart.
Swallow it!
In other words, she was trying to lure the opponent into attacking her and then absorb the power that was directed at her! Before meeting Held, she had to analyze and control this power as another trump card.
She really liked this kind of enemy who used his own strength in a rough way.
"Go down!" Agatha said with a fanatical smile on her face.
Kalecgos and Antonidas turned to look at Agatha in shock, as if surprised at how she could remain so calm and brave after witnessing the horror of the Old Gods.
Go down?
Are you going down to get killed?
Kalecgos, who had retracted his dragon head, looked at C'Thun below, whose tentacles were raised high, as if shouting at him, "Come down." For a moment, he thought that Agatha, who could say such words, must have been influenced and bewitched by the power of the Old Gods and her mind was unclear.
This time they were lucky and did not get wiped out by C'Thun's sudden and insidious outburst, but next time, it's hard to say.
At least Kalecgos was unwilling to descend even a little to face the violent Old Gods.
This thing was what he and they could deal with! Being able to distract the other party from a distance and occasionally harass them, Kalecgos felt that this was the limit of the three of them.
"Mage Agatha, I think we need to take a long-term view." Antonidas rubbed his aching head, still recovering from the previous shock. He was still fretting over the future of the elites he'd brought with him, and Agatha's words nearly made him jump.
"I have a way to fight him. Besides, Aegwynn may not have entered the tower yet. We must divert all the attention of that old god. It is not enough to just fly in the sky and move under his gaze." Agatha shook her head and gave an answer that silenced Kalecgos and the other two.
"Are you sure you have a way to fight him?" Kalecgos asked after a moment of silence.
"In this situation, you should trust me more. If it weren't for me, you would have all become the prey of the ancient gods." Agatha smiled and said softly in response to Kalecgos's question.
"I still think this is too risky," Antonidas said. He'd rarely experienced a crisis like that in his long life. It was like a brush with death.
"You'd better be telling the truth," Kalecgos muttered. The two large eyes on his dragon head glanced at C'Thun, then quickly looked away. The other's eyes could also transmit shadow power, and he didn't want to suddenly lose control like before.
"You are crazy! Are you sure you are in normal condition now and have not been affected by the Old Gods?" Hearing the unfinished meaning in Kalecgos' words, Antonidas had to smile bitterly and clench his staff, preparing to guide the most powerful magic he could use now.
"I am normal, more normal than ever. You can always trust me when it comes to fighting against energy pollution and madness. If I wanted to go crazy, I would have gone crazy long ago." Agatha stepped forward and grabbed the dragon horns of Kalecgos as he swooped down from the sky with his wings flapping. She pressed her body against him, the whistling wind quickly passing by on both sides of her body, and her eyes were fixed on C'Thun below.
A huge dark ray suddenly shot out from the largest eye on C'Thun's head towards the sky. Amid Kalecgos's screams and fear, it was deflected by a powerful force, gathered into a beam, and absorbed into Agatha's body.
The next few dark rays were also swallowed by Agatha's body.
Antonidas and Kalecgos, startled by Agatha's actions, nearly attacked her directly. But upon seeing that her presence and expression remained unchanged, they felt slightly relieved. However, they remained wary of Agatha, who dared to absorb the power of the Old Gods.
But as time went on, after discovering that Agatha did not show any abnormalities and was really able to fight against C'Thun's power, Antonidas and Kalecgos, who were originally making a desperate fight, actually had a glimmer of hope.
But soon, their relaxed expressions disappeared, because the furious C'Thun almost madly poured out his power on them.
It would be fine if a female creature had inexplicably stolen his power. But he was completely restrained and couldn't do anything to that woman.
But how dare you, a female creature, swallow up its energy permanently?
Are all the mages in this world now crazy? They even absorb the power of shadows? Aren't they afraid of being transformed into shadow creatures by the shadows?
…
Stratholme.
cathedral.
Archbishop Alonsus, Uther, and the others looked warily at the strange person who suddenly appeared here. Perhaps the other party could not be considered a normal flesh and blood life at all.
Although the other party had a human body shape, with limbs and a head, the face was a bony cheek that roughly separated the facial features.
Behind the opponent was Kel'Thuzad, who exuded a certain evil aura.
"It's so wonderful! I really love this world! There are so many lively and excellent souls in this human city. It's a treasure."
Mephisto walked through the church in high spirits, as if this was his own territory. A lord filled with the power of hell, bathed in holy light, came before Alonsus and the others.
Outside the city, a group of demons from another world are wreaking havoc. They are violent and cruel.
"Who are you?" Alonsus felt the holy light madly warning him, and the warning came from the strange man in front of him.
"This is Lord Mephisto, Lord of Hell, a being as great as the Titans of Creation!" Kel'Thuzad stepped forward and enthusiastically introduced him to Alonsus and the others. However, facing the blazing holy light, Kel'Thuzad clearly lacked Mephisto's resistance. As streams of burning smoke rose from his body, he was forced to retreat two steps and hide behind Mephisto again.
"Soul of noble character!" Mephisto's eyes narrowed as he reached out and pulled out sheets of parchment. The abstract features on his bone mask forced a businessman's smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, will you sign a contract with me? You will give me your souls, and I promise not to harm any resident of this city.
I can see clearly into your hearts. You are not afraid of such sacrifice! As long as the sacrifice is worthwhile! Of course, you can also try to resist and see if you can destroy us. But this process may result in some casualties that you don't want to see.
Finally, this world will soon belong to us! Before anyone else sets their sights on this place, surrender to me and I will protect the people of your territory!"
