God Simulator

Chapter 93，(1) – The enemy is lurking

Lu Yao fired another 50 lightning bolts at the statue.

Without the protection and mobility of the apostle, the statue became an easy target on the sea and was immediately reduced to rubble. Two things flew out of the statue and floated on the surface of the sea, only to be captured by the Lord of the Deep Sea.

A reminder appeared on the screen.

【The belief in the Skeleton God has completely disappeared nearby, and his followers will begin to seek new gods.】

Only then did Lu Yao relax.

Regardless of whether what Phileas said earlier was true or false, as long as he killed the Skeleton God, it didn’t matter.

Without the support of the flame of belief, his apostles would fall into a deep sleep, just like Isabella in the past.

Lu Yao put the two spoils of war into his inventory and began to inspect them one by one.

The first was a shiny stone.

【Omni-Stone LV10】: Basic material for forging treasures, a rare mineral. Can be used to upgrade items below LV10 in one go.

...

It was actually a high-level omni-stone.

Lu Yao finally understood that the quality of the omni-stone could also be increased by leveling it up.

He had underestimated it.

He had been completely blind before.

Who said that strengthening items couldn’t strengthen oneself?

What surprised him was the description of being able to upgrade items below LV10, which was not present in the original omni-stone. It seemed that the success rate should be good.

Lu Yao moved the map and arrived at the Abyss Island.

Snowman Jimmy was resting outside because he had exhausted his mana.

Lu Yao took the 【Ghost White Horse】 off him and then took out the still warm omni-stone from his inventory and combined the two.

【Refinement (10 Belief)】

Lu Yao clicked on this icon, and a box appeared on the screen.

【Please put in the treasure that needs to be strengthened.】

Lu Yao directly threw the 【Ghost White Horse】 in.

In the center of the screen, the white horse was enveloped in the flame of belief.

After a moment.

【Refinement successful】.

...

【Ghost White Horse LV6】: Belief +1/hour, Defense +12, Speed +24, HP +240, not restricted by terrain. Summon the spirit of the white horse, can activate 【Advanced Disguise LV5】.

...

After refining with the omni-stone, all the attributes of the white horse were improved.

Lu Yao was very satisfied with this result.

The Ghost White Horse was his most important individual equipment at the moment. Strengthening the white horse meant improving the strength of his apostle team.

As for using the LV10 omni-stone on LV5 items, Lu Yao didn’t think it was a waste. Belief could be accumulated slowly, but enhancing immediate combat power and the thickness of the lineup was the top priority.

After using the omni-stone, Lu Yao turned his attention to the next spoil of war.

...

【Treasure Hunting Compass LV2】: Belief +2/hour.

Wind the spring, and the compass will give guidance. Whether the pointer points to treasure or disaster, no one knows. I hope you have enough luck.

...

This was a double-edged sword item, and it was also related to luck.

Luck? Fortune?

Lu Yao suddenly remembered. The higher the luck attribute, the easier it was to trigger random beneficial events.

In this aspect, Snowman Jimmy was the strongest among the three apostles.

Jimmy not only had 10 points of luck, but also 10 points of morale.

For every point of luck, there was a 4% chance of a double attack and triggering random beneficial events.

For every point of morale, there was a 4% chance of entering a high morale state. In this state, movement speed and attack speed doubled, lasting for 10 seconds.

With high movement speed and high luck, it was no wonder that Snowman was rarely discovered when using the 【Thieving Hand】.

So, this compass seemed to be most suitable for Jimmy to wear.

Lu Yao immediately equipped Jimmy with this item.

"Oh, my lord, I am extremely grateful for your favor and gift to Jimmy!"

Jimmy happily inserted the compass into his forehead.

"Jimmy will definitely find the best treasures for you and bring back more flames of belief."

Snowman became highly motivated.

"With this treasure hunting compass, Jimmy will go to the Mirror World to find the Tyrant and find all the flames of belief hidden by Him, and offer them all to you."

Lu Yao was startled and quickly typed.

—Wait for my command.

This was not a good idea.

The Tyrant was a demigod.

Lu Yao didn’t want his hard-trained Snowman to be killed by the Tyrant at first sight.

"I will follow your command."

Upon hearing the command from the deity, Jimmy immediately knelt down in fear, with his snowball head almost touching the ground.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the three apostles, Snowman Jimmy was the one who gave him the most headaches.

This guy was full of possibilities, but also unstable, with a high ceiling and a low floor.

After the battle and spoils of war, the next step was to review and verify.

...

"My lord, the flames of belief have only just extinguished, and Phileas’ soul has not yet sunk into the Sea of Farewell, so his memories are still intact."

Isabella petitioned, "May I ask if further questioning is needed?"

Lu Yao immediately agreed.

But finding the deceased apostle Phileas was not an easy task.

Isabella continuously used her abilities and tried for nearly half an hour before finally finding Phileas among the many souls on the sea.

She negotiated with the black sphere of the deceased and translated for Lu Yao.

"My lord, the Skeleton God has indeed fallen."

"Phileas said that the Skeleton God entered this fragmented world under the command of the Whistleblower. He is one of the gods and his purpose is to find a key. That key has been hidden by another god, Pray to the Gods."

Lu Yao understood.

It was still about the key.

However, it seemed that the Whistleblower didn’t know that the key was not used to open the Golden Plains, but to enter the Black Abyss.

Lu Yao was very interested in how gods like the Skeleton God entered the fragmented world.

"By descending a rank."

Isabella explained, "The gods cannot enter the fragmented world, but if they fall from the Temple of Gods and become apprentice gods, they will no longer be restricted by the rules of the world.""The process of demotion is extremely painful, for gods, it’s like cutting off their limbs and returning to an infantile state. This causes the gods to lose the vast majority of their power, retaining only their most primitive divine image, faith, and apostles... they can’t even move on their own."

"Also, there are limitations on faith. The maximum amount of faith that can be brought into the fragmented world after demotion is 5000 points. Any excess faith will be rejected and dissipated by the world."

"Even so, passing through the world barrier is still very difficult and painful."

"After falling from their rank, the Skeleton God was also removed from the pantheon and could no longer contact the ’Whistleblower’."

Lu Yao took a sip of the hot tea brewed by the small fire.

In summary.

What came in were not the gods, but the apprentice gods. With the 5000-point faith limit imposed by the rules of the fragmented world, there was nothing to fear.

Dealing with apprentice gods, Lu Yao had some experience and a fair amount of interaction.

"However, apart from the Skeleton God, another god was also sent in."

Isabella continued, "He is called the ’Tao God’, and his strength is comparable to that of the Skeleton God."

"The difference is that while the Skeleton God is the ruler of the sea, the Tao God has a strong control over the land and is even better at hiding."

Lu Yao squinted his eyes.

There was another enemy hiding in the dark.

Lu Yao typed.

——Try to persuade Phileas to defect.

Isabella and the black ball of the dead began another encrypted conversation.

After Isabella drew her holy sword and assumed a battle stance, Phileas’s semi-transparent skull appeared in the black ball.

He immediately declared his willingness to follow God Yao and fight for the great God Yao!
