Chapter 974 - 584: Legendary Tier Breakthrough Quest
Lis controlled the chaotic faith power within him, attempting to use this brand-new power to cast divine spells.
Generally speaking, priests using divine spells do not actually rely on the power of faith.
It is mostly through the divine technique seed granted by the gods, consuming a certain amount of mana to cast divine spells.
The method of directly using the power of faith to cast divine spells is more akin to the process used by demigods, or beings of the divine rank.
Although Lis learned about these secrets from Mr. Stephens, this was still his first time encountering such a special power.
As the chaos faith points on the system panel decreased by one point, the lowest-tier Light Brightness Technique was released by Lis.
A faint radiance appeared from Lis’s right hand, spreading around.
However, because it was daytime, the faint light in Lis’s hand was almost entirely obscured by the glaring sunlight.
It feels... like there’s no difference?
Lis scrutinized the most basic divine spell in his hand, stroking his chin as he observed.
It seems I need to cast a stronger divine spell to see the difference?
Lis pondered for a while, thinking about which High Order Divine Skill would be more appropriate.
After all, Lis had already learned and mastered all the divine spells collected in the Azus Temple, virtually equating to a complete compendium of divine spells.
While contemplating, Lis’s gaze suddenly stopped on a divine skill.
High Order Divine Skill [Holy Word]!
This divine spell is quite special, with high prerequisites for its use.
The essence of this spell is to suppress enemies by praying to a divine spirit, borrowing the supreme rank of the divine spirit to inflict deafness, blindness, paralysis, or even instant death effects on them.
Each effect requires an advance will judgment, but under the pressure of the divine rank, the probability of failing the judgment is very high.
However, for a priest to use this divine spell, they still need to gain the recognition of the divine spirit to borrow their divine power.
Priests who can achieve this are quite rare and are at least bishop-level existences in the Church of the Gods.
Although Lis mastered the Holy Word divine spell, because he did not truly believe in any particular deity, he naturally could not borrow the power of the divine and could not let this divine spell take effect.
There are quite a few other divine spells similar to Holy Word that Lis could not use for now.
But now...
Lis looked at the Chaos Faith Convergence specialty, and he had a premonition that perhaps this chaotic faith power could change this situation.
Lis did not hesitate and chose to use the divine spell [Holy Word].
As the chaos faith points on the panel decreased by 300 points, Lis felt a little distressed but also noticed the occurrence of an anomaly.
Before acquiring the [Chaos Faith Convergence] specialty, Lis could use divine spells like [Holy Word], but there was no response.
But this time, casting it brought Lis a completely different feeling.
A faint oppression enveloped Lis, waiting for Lis’s command.
Did it actually succeed?
Lis was slightly delighted, but quickly noticed something amiss.
The oppressive force emitted by the divine spell [Holy Word] seemed somewhat weak...
To ordinary people, the oppression brought by the [Holy Word] divine spell was already quite powerful, but it was far from the so-called divine rank’s oppressive force.
The [Holy Word] divine spell is supposed to rely solely on the oppression of the divine rank to produce various formidable effects.
The oppressive force surrounding Lis at best could scare beasts and Bronze Rank professionals.
Lis had truly experienced the terrifying might of a pope-level expert using [Holy Word].
And now this oppressive force seemed somewhat similar to Lis’s own aura.
Or almost identical, could it be...
Skills like the [Holy Word] divine spell are aimed at deities, but with the buff of chaotic faith power, Lis could now use them, only the target was not the deity of faith, but Lis himself.
To confirm this, Lis used a considerable amount of chaotic faith power on several skills similar to [Holy Word].
The results were as Lis suspected, all the targets of these divine spells were modified to become Lis himself.
Now this is interesting!
Lis didn’t continue experimenting, clapped his hands, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Although these divine spells could be cast, because the target was Lis rather than a deity, the effects of these High Order Divine Skills were instead inferior to middle-level divine spells.
However, what Lis valued was not the power of the divine spells, but the significance that they represented.
This change didn’t hold much significance for Lis at present, but for the future, it was extraordinary.
When Lis embarks on the Path to Divinity and becomes a demigod, he will need to establish his own system of faith.
Divine spells and priests are a crucial part of this, and Lis is essentially starting to engage with this ahead of time, which could hold considerable significance for the future.
Moreover, as Lis felt the chaotic faith power within him, his heart was slightly excited.
He had a special feeling that the newly acquired Chaos Faith Convergence specialty might hold unparalleled significance to the [Sphinx Ascension Technique].
It’s known that the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx exhausted his life but failed to perfect the Ascension Technique, and Lis wished to attempt perfecting it, but had no clue thus far.
But now, after mastering the [Chaos Faith Convergence] specialty, Lis felt as if a brand new door had been opened.
However, he couldn’t be in a rush...
Lis shook his head, calming the somewhat turbulent emotions.
