Chapter 1084 The End of Ideals, the Path of Truth
Hermes was on a small island in the vast ocean.
This is a planet with only low-level animals and plants, no intelligent life, and no traces of alien life. It is a naturally evolved life planet. Such a plane is called the main plane, also known as the big world.
There are floating islands on the small island where Hermes is located, and there are floating islands on the floating islands, for a total of seven floors.
There are magic circles carved on each layer of islands. These magic circles are not complicated. The top layer is a circular magic circle, composed of three concentric rings. There is an altar at the center of the circle. On the altar is a three-legged round tripod with dragon carvings on its ears. The six islands below are respectively carved with triangle array, square array, pentagram array, hexagram array, heptagon array and octagon array.
The tripod is filled with crystal soil made of colorful gems, and the most eye-catching one is a gem shining with red light.
That is the Philosopher's Stone, which symbolizes Hermes himself.
At this moment, Hermes was inserting the Scepter of the God of Commerce in his hand into the crystal soil carried by the tripod, one in front and one behind.
The core abilities of the super artifact, the Scepter of the God of Commerce, are "copying" and "storage". All other abilities are ultimately derived from "copying" and "storage".
When Hephaestus reforged the Scepter of Commerce, he used adamantium as the main body and added diamond adamantium and multi-faceted magic gold into it. He used the refractive structure of diamond adamantium to amplify the divine power and the reflective structure of multi-faceted magic gold to repel the divine power. He also integrated the polymetallic ring that Hermes stole from Odin, the king of Asgard, and with the help of Hermes' alchemy, he obtained the authority of "copying".
As for the authority of "storage", it comes from the Donghuang Bell. The soul of the Donghuang Bell was refined by Hermes and Hephaestus to erase its wisdom, leaving only its spirituality to make the "soul" of the Scepter of the God of Commerce. The ability of the bell body to open the door to heaven was evolved into the authority of "storage" after being integrated into several special gems and smelted.
In this way, the foundation of this super artifact itself is completed.
Not only that, the power to "create" and "destroy" the world that the Donghuang Bell, a super artifact, possessed was also integrated into this new super artifact during the process of "forging" and "alchemy", giving it the power to create and destroy the world, as well as some lower-level abilities, such as creating energy soldiers, creating languages and characters with special powers, formulating certain rules, and so on.
Afterwards, Hermes and Hephaestus integrated a large number of stolen artifacts into the Scepter of Commerce. This so-called integration actually meant "storing" these artifacts in the Scepter and "copying" them when needed, thereby exerting the corresponding authority of the artifacts. The artifacts stored in it would be suppressed by the status of the Scepter of Commerce, invalidating their negative effects.
"Copy" uses a replica instead of the original body, and "Storage" can integrate not only artifacts, but also skills and consumables, and "Copy" ensures that they will not be consumed.
However, the instant "copying" is essentially just copying the projection and authority, not the entity, and can only last for a short time. Although it can be used to exert its ability, it cannot be materialized and taken out. To complete the "copying", it requires corresponding time and materials, or fantasy alchemy.
In this way, the Scepter of the God of Commerce possesses numerous powers covering many fields.
As one of the twelve main gods, Hermes has many powers, some of which come from the scepter of the god of commerce and some from his own position as a god.
Hermes has three major god positions, Hermes in Greek mythology, Mercury in Roman mythology, and Thoth in Egyptian mythology, and he corresponded these three major god positions to matter, spiritual consciousness, and laws respectively, and combined them in a higher dimensional space, calling himself the Triple Great Hermes, thus constructing a new, six-dimensional god position, which he sheltered in a micro-god base and possessed higher, more complex and diverse powers.
Because Hermeticism was so widespread, many occult works were attributed to it, making it all-encompassing, and Hermes was able to use this connection to truly gain that complex and numerous authority.
The most important thing about Hermes' position as a god is his control over magic. He has a very deep understanding of magic, which is also one of the core powers of his position, just like the control of the sea by the god of the sea. This comes with the authority of language and writing, allowing him to create spells and magic efficiently.
The magic he studies is naturally related to the laws of truth, the laws of secrecy, etc., which is why he has the corresponding authority.
In addition, as a well-known prophet and ancestor of alchemists, he also has authority in the field of alchemy, which includes material alchemy and psychological alchemy. The former is widely known for its material transformation and element theory, and is the sublimation of inventions and creations. The latter is related to psychology, the most important of which is "hypnosis".
The power of "hypnosis" is mainly divided into two parts: "dreams" and "communication". "Dreams" can make people fall into dreams, and also wake people up from dreams, making Hermes the maker of dreams, a watcher and lurker in the dark. "Communication" can make the holder exude a natural affinity, making others feel good about him, making his words more credible and convincing, and being able to perceive the true meaning of others' words. He thus became the god of eloquence and also the god of deception.
Hermes also had the authority of astrology. He combined the inner microcosm with the external macrocosm, and gained a deep understanding of the laws of the universe, thus gaining the authority of astrology.
His identity as the god of travelers, protector of livestock and guide of the dead comes from the authority bestowed by Zeus. Zeus made him a messenger of the gods and granted him the authority to freely travel between various interfaces, allowing him to convey God's will and protect travelers.
Hermes also has the power over life and death. He is the patron saint of doctors and the guide of the dead.
Hermes has the power of theft and commerce, but in the final analysis, these powers all derive from his power of "conversion of property rights."
He integrated these complicated powers into the God of Commerce Scepter, and the power of space travel was greatly strengthened by the addition of the Heavenly Gate of the Donghuang Bell. At the same time, Hermes' lifelong knowledge of alchemy, astrology and magic was also stored.
Knowledge is power, and the knowledge infused into the Scepter of the God of Commerce will also strengthen its abilities in corresponding aspects. Therefore, the Scepter of the God of Commerce can also perform various perfect magic, astrology, and alchemy. It can quickly set up super-large magic arrays, instantly refine heavenly forged alloys, and even automatically melt and store items inside, reducing their negative effects and increasing their positive effects. It is the most perfect magic wand and divination wand.
The scepter of the god of business also stores the authority of many divine artifacts. The sword of victory brings victory, the holy grail distorts reality within a certain range to realize wishes and enhance the power of each artifact, Hades's invisibility hat brings absolute secrecy, the bottle of life brings the ultimate life refining and recovery ability, the magic helmet brings the ability to transform, the Fuxi Qin has the ability to control the mind, the Shennong Ding has the ability to refine magical medicine, the Hetu Luoshu has the ability to deduce and simulate the laws of the universe, in addition, there are numerous artifacts that bring the ability to control magic such as the sea, thunder, and fire, as well as numerous melee weapons including the well-known holy sword, holy spear, and aegis. The powerful melee weapon capabilities brought by.
In addition, the God of Commerce's Scepter also stores some high-level magic scrolls, which can cast extremely powerful magic spells directly without chanting.
There are many rare and spiritual objects in the scepter of the God of Business, such as the fairy product Youxiang Qiluo that can protect against all poisons, the spirit gathering array that gathers spiritual energy to assist in cultivation, the original blood of vampires, the magic fruit that is comparable to a divine weapon, and so on.
Although he can only use one martial soul at a time after copying the martial soul of his Merchant God Scepter, there are exceptions to a certain extent.
For example, the spirit skills of the spirit clone he obtained when copying a certain weapon spirit master were solidified by him using the God of Commerce Scepter, allowing him to own two God of Commerce Scepters without any decrease in performance.
To put it bluntly, the Scepter of the God of Commerce is a top-level super artifact. The value of the two Scepters of the God of Commerce combined into one is no less than that of Belial's broken original Demon Pillar.
This altar and sacrificial tripod are not that special, they are just ordinary artifacts. Their function is only to symbolize sacrifice. The two scepters of the god of business symbolize the god of creation and the god of punishment.
This relies on the power of creation and destruction possessed by the scepter of the god of commerce, which also has the symbol of being divided into two, and also utilizes the connection between the caduceus and the serpent of creation.
Other super artifacts surrounded him, flying, rotating, accompanied by starlight.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Long Kongkong out of the void.
This is the most central part of the ceremony.
Unlike Belial's crude method, he wanted to use ritual magic to extract the destructive power of Long Kongkong.
The God of Heavenly Punishment is the source of the law of cosmic destruction. Although Long Kongkong, who is his other half, does not possess god-level energy, the status contained in his blood is coveted by beings above the Supreme God King.
He placed Long Kongkong in a position that formed an equilateral triangle with the God of Commerce's Scepter, directly opposite the Philosopher's Stone, and then began to chant a lengthy spell:
"Great God of Creation, the original creator, the creator of the universe, the source of the laws of creation. Praise you. You are the beginning and the end, the past and the future, the cultivator of the tree of time and space, the weaver of complex fate, the master who transcends eternal reincarnation, the chimera who created the world, and the tail-carrier without beginning or end. We are your children, the inheritors of your long-cherished wish, we inherit your mission and act for the eternal prosperity of the universe. I beg you to show mercy and provide protection for us lost lambs.
"Oh, God of Punishment who should not have been born, the cursed star, the nine-headed Chimera, you are the error of the universe, the loophole that existed at the beginning of the design, and the sinner who committed a crime. Arrogant and lazy destroyer, you have failed to complete the mission of the universe, defied the fate given by the world, destroyed things that should not be destroyed, allowed the error to continue, and let the right end. I am here to judge you on behalf of the great gods, deprive you of your power, perform your duties on your behalf, commit necessary evils, and act to achieve the eternal prosperity of the universe. This is my oath. My name is Hermes.
"I am a wise man, a king, a priest, and a triple-crowned Hermes. Great God of Creation, please allow me to be your messenger and convey your will. I will embark on the path of asceticism, suffering, and redemption, accept the test of fate, bear the sins of the world, and bear the fate of reincarnation. Ah, I will never regret it. Great God of Creation, please witness my prayer. I will connect with the gods here and pray for the wisdom of God to help me complete the ceremony and transfer the throne of the God of Punishment.
"Eternity sealed in chaos, balance shattered in nothingness, resting in the abyss of the universe, great god who has been called upon, please answer my prayer.
"The crimson of turmoil and strife, the master of barbarism and primitiveness, the scavenger who devoured the old world, the Chaos Evil God who created the new world, the noble King of Demonic Flame, the legendary Lord of the Ancient Demonic Abyss. I hereby offer you seven super artifacts, and pray that you will fulfill my wish and let me touch the root of the law of destruction.
"The ever-flowing River of Origin, the source of all life, the ever-changing Chaos Ocean, the great mother who gave birth to all gods, the ancestor of the lost kingdom of God. I pray that you will grant me the water of chaos to nourish all things and carry your vast power.
"Fight the supreme wolf god, the descendant of gods and giants, the owner of the noble bloodline, the prototype of all wolf species, the original wildness of the root, the king of all monsters who devoured the red moon. I pray for your favor, pray for you to help the inheritance of the bloodline, and let me touch the favor of the noble bloodline.
"The sage who follows the will of heaven, the creator of the ancient country of Galan, the ascetic monk who walks in the cycle of reincarnation, the compassionate Buddha, the enlightened one from the planet of God. I pray for your mercy, for your pity on the weak gods who have suffered hardships, for your guidance of the law of reincarnation, so that the fate of suffering will befall me, and the destined reincarnation will end here.
