691 God of Craftsmen (2/2)

”So, he got his eyes on the pious dwarfs of Rentato and intended to take advantage of the God of Steam who could not grant divine powers… Hehe, I'm afraid that Okun is no longer the Okun he used to be.”

She did not sound solemn but rather amused, as if it were not an important matter but just a folly.

The religions of fake gods which rose at the beginning of the War of Dawn were not weak. Different from the fake gods like Ell in the alternate dimensions, the gods of such religions were usually legendary, like the mother God of the earth, the Master of Darkness, the God of Valiance and the God of Craftsmen. There were about eight legendary fake gods.

As to why they were not restrained by godhood or affected by the gathered power of faith like Ell did, whose self-awareness and soul were disrupted by the invading consciousnesses, the Congress of Magic did not understand the reason at the beginning, but after discovering the secrets of the ancient sorcerers in the World of Souls, they basically understood what it was about.

They must've been the products of the ancient sorcerers during the studies of gods. Instead of melting themselves with the power of faith directly, they had replaced themselves with special divine items first and finished the melting at the end. The problems were less severe this way.

Ham was only one meter tall. Shaking his dizzy head, he was full of ire when faced with Natasha before. He had been faithful and refused to say anything until the lady who was more terrifying than gods and dragons came in. After her silver and purple eyes glared at him, he was so overwhelmed that his soul seemed to be cut and minced by knives, and he confessed everything he knew.

Natasha was so tall that Ham had to crane his head in order to see her face. He shouted angrily, ”You have desecrated the great God of Steam. You shall be punished!”

”I do not like other people calling themselves God of Steam. Please ask Heit to change his name, or he might have no name anymore, because dead people, no, dead gods do not need names.” Said Natasha half jokingly.

Suddenly, bright gold light burst out of Ham's body, and the heart of faith consumed him, turning him into a swirl of gold brilliance.

A voice of exasperation echoed from the swirl. ”I am very mad at your disrespect!”

And the consequences would be dire… Influenced by Lucien, Natasha finished the sentence for him, while she thought to herself in amusement that the guy had indeed arrived.

The swirl immediately turned transparent. A dwarf wearing a gold, hallowed armor could be vaguely seen. He was holding a heavy silver hammer that was fully loaded with patterns.

”Accept your judgment!” Heit waited the silver hammer angrily, turning the gold swirl into the same shape before smashing it at Natasha.

A silver sword suddenly glittered. After a flash, the gold swirl was shattered into pieces, and the illusionary, hideous cracks cut the many obstacles in between through obscure connections and slashed Heit unstoppably!

”Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Heit's painful roar came through the last bit of gold light and echoed in the chamber for a long time.

Looking at the disappearing gold swirl, Natasha shook her head. ”I still cannot carry out the power of the Sword of Truth under such circumstances…”

As a matter of fact, she could carry out the power of the Sword of Truth more because of her blood power and her hard work. If the common level-one legends were as strong as her, Heit wouldn't have arrived recklessly to teach her a lesson at all.

Heit was a level-two legendary god. He thought that in a remote battle through the heart of faith, Natasha's Sword of Truth couldn't be so horrifying without really hitting the target, and he could deal with the general attacks. As a result, he suffered a major setback.

......

Inside the Atomic Universe…

Natasha looked at Lucien in amusement. ”Ever since Viken secretly spread the way to become demigods, the competition of faith has become heated. Your steam dwarfs will definitely be coveted. I don't think you can maintain them without granting them divine power. Hehe. How are you going to deal with them?”

”I don't think it's a big deal. That is not my path.” Lucien scratched his chin and smiled. ”However, I am happy to do what certain people want me to do. As for Heit, I need to find a chance to 'talk' with him properly.”

Natasha chuckled and found it interesting. It was not until they discussed it for a long time that she finally changed the subject with great interest. ”What's the paper on your desk?”

”Basics of Mathematics. The mathematical development in the Congress is uncoordinated and unsystematic. I'm planning to sort through the knowledge such as sets and topology and establish a whole system. Well, it also includes certain mathematical conundrums and paradoxes that I haven't figured out yet. I hope that the development of mathematics can be bolstered by working on those questions.”
