Chapter 375
"Mequik described the world as a World Tree, or rather, a Tree of Life" Negri recalled that this was also Mequik's path. Through studying the structure of life, she finally completed her own Tree of Life blueprint.
"Each element is a form of life, which ultimately forms the Tree of Life that encompasses the entire world" Mequik's blueprint appeared in Negri's mind: "Of course, that blueprint belongs to Mequik, that is her path. Every form of life is different, so the blueprint for every form of life should also be different"
"Then, I'll have to slowly design my own Tree of Life blueprint as well" Negary continued to extract vitality mana from other objects, then infused vitality into them based on the life forms and structures that he had collected, turning them into grotesque lifeforms that he could control.
"My fucking bear's power!" All of a sudden, a roar could be heard. A priest with the holy emblem of Life Bearer suddenly roared as his body rapidly expanded. Brown fur grew all over his body as his face and mouth protruded forward, soon turning into the head of a bear.
The Half Life Church's priest robe bulged out, a pair of giant bear paws swatted down at a certain person. The glow of mana around that person's body flickered briefly before quickly disappearing, as he was sent flying into the wall of the hall by the bear paws. His entire body stuck to the wall like a pile of mud, no longer recognizable as human.
The pile of mud quickly dried up, everything within it was being absorbed by the Mana Fetus on the dining table as nutrients. If someone were to enter the Mana Fetus' stomach at this point, they would be able to inherit some of this person's abilities.
"Lifeform overlay …" looking at the Half Life Church member who had turned into a humanoid bear, Negri received a few hints.
The Half Life Church worshipped Life Bearer, so they didn't differentiate between knights and priests, all members of the church were referred to as priests. Through their sacrifices, they would obtain a large amount of vitality mana, and once the sacrifice reached a certain level, they would obtain lifeforms.
By fusing these lifeforms with themselves, they would be able to transform just like this humanoid bear.
Because of this, the priests of the Half Life Church believed that human life wasn't complete. They were the halves of God. They needed to obtain the life form of God and infuse it into their bodies to complete themselves. Only then would they be able to fuse with God and obtain the final completion. This was also the origin of the name of the Half Life Church.
It was said that the top priests of the Half Life Church could transform into three different forms. Because of their preferences, they had a variety of life forms. The most common ones were giant bears, giant wolves, falcons, and crows.
Of course, some people also obtained other life forms such as stone people, tree people, big fish, and so on.
Obviously, this Halfling Priest was in the form of a Great Bear. Of course, the Great Bear form was different. Some people thought that the Great Bear was just a bear, but those who studied it carefully and perfectly combined their Life Mana would become a Demonic Bear.
The might of the Demonic Bear was completely revealed after it crushed an opponent into meat paste.
"Brothers over there, let's kill these guys together and let them return to the embrace of the Tree of Life." The Great Bear roared at Negri. With his huge voice, even a small whisper would turn into a loud roar.
Negri scowled. Is this priest of the Half Life Church really that straightforward? I only showed him a few methods related to life forms and he immediately considered me as one of his own, although that wasn't entirely wrong.
With the secret alliance between Negri and Mequik, he could be considered a member of the Half Life Church, perhaps even higher than a Saint Soul awakening.
Does this guy not understand the current state of the Great Magus? Negri thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving. A large amount of vitality surged into the ground below his feet, causing the ground to shake as if it had come to life. A claw made of bricks reached out from the ground and swung towards the Sun Shadow Knight who was being restrained by the monstrous life form.
At the same time, a stone tail emerged from the ground, then swung towards a mage who couldn't react in time.
Negri couldn't understand what Mequik was trying to do, but from the looks of it, this entity had silently taken control of the Great Magus Stim, but at the same time allowed his vitality to leak out, drawing everyone's attention.
Or could it be that Mequik still hasn't fully taken control of the Great Magus, and the leaking of vitality earlier was the Great Magus' means to save himself? With that in mind, Negri once again observed the Great Magus who was sitting at the head of the table. Perhaps it was his first impression or the truth, but Negri noticed that although the Great Magus was expressionless, there seemed to be some sort of resistance underneath.
If that's the case, the other churches' goal is to save the Great Magus, while the Half Life Church's goal is to stall for time so that Mequik can fully take control of the Great Magus.
After analyzing the situation, other than those who still didn't understand what was going on, the crowd was slowly divided into two camps: one was the Sun Shadow Church's other churches, while the other was the Half Life Church's side.
No wonder the Demon Bear Priest was able to transform so quickly, it turned out that he had unknowingly reached a crucial moment, which was why Negri had to use his full strength.
"The Great Magus' secret order!" A loud shout suddenly resounded as the blonde Aiur stepped out from behind the Great Magus, took out a scroll in his hand and tore it open, releasing a torrent of mana.
The mana contained the Great Magus' unique mark, which any mage from the House of Mages would be familiar with, but the order that appeared within was quite intriguing.
[Assist Mister Negri in taking control of the Mana Fetus]
The Negri in this secret order had used a unique magical technique to chant Negri's true name, allowing everyone to instantly sense Negri's existence and understand who Negri was.
The master of the Impure Hermit Order, a world infector, a Demigod like the Great Magus.
As his true name was revealed, the bald young man's appearance abruptly changed, releasing an almost bewitching and terrifying charm that coiled around everyone like tentacles. Their previous conjectures were correct, this bald young man was actually another clone of Negri.
A large number of golden particles converged towards the bald young man from every direction, increasing the intensity of the battle once again.
Aiur was breathing heavily as he slowly moved away from Great Magus Stim. The other mages from the House of Mages were still a bit stunned, they still didn't understand why a so-called Great Magus' secret order would suddenly appear when the Great Magus was right here.
"Aiur, did you betray me? You should know that I have high hopes for you "Stim slowly told Aiur.
