Chapter 1429 Whisper
People use magic items, but magic items actually choose their users.
This sentence sounds very metaphysical. Most magic items themselves do not have clear self-awareness. Only a very small number of smart magic items have this special ability.
Just like the magic broom that works as a cleaner at Li Chengqi's house.
But not having clear self-awareness does not mean that magic items have no consciousness. Their will is very weak and usually cannot be reflected at all.
And when magic items reach the stage of epic level or above, their power is greatly enhanced, making the seemingly mysterious thing of choosing the user of magic items gradually become a reality.
If you identify Li Chengqi's artifact, you will see that there is no clear indication of the user's needs. It seems that even a child who is babbling can use it.
But in fact, his artifact will only obey the orders of Li Chengqi and his followers. If outsiders bring it, they will be killed by the power of the artifact.
This is an example of a magic item choosing its user.
Coincidentally, Isaac also had something similar.
It is not a divine weapon, otherwise Li Chengqi would have discovered it immediately due to God's sensitivity to divine power.
It was a powerful weapon made by mortals. From the beginning of its birth, it was to eliminate the tyranny of gods. This was the meaning of its existence.
Normally, it always stays in Isaac's javelin bag, but when facing Viola, especially after Viola started to use the divine power given by Li Chengqi, this weapon reacted to it.
Isaac continued to improve his strength, and at the same time, vague murmurs slowly began to echo in his ears.
At first it was just a little noise in the ears, but soon the sound became clearer and clearer as Viola activated the artifact.
It whispered in Isaac's ear 'Use me to destroy the tyrant, destroy the darkness, destroy the raging gods! ’
This weapon was retained by the Seven Apostles from the era of the previous generation of Demon King God. Its function is to act as an insurance policy.
After all, the Seven Apostles are cooperating with another god to murder the Demon King. People can trade with each other, but can people trade with ants?
The seven apostles are the characters of ants, so they need an insurance to ensure that the cooperating gods will not kill them too.
But this insurance has never been used, and it has been passed down from thousands of years ago to the present.
However, when the people from the Seven Apostles gave the item to Isaac, they only said that this item could help you win, but they did not say that it would actually whisper in his ears.
Not only that, it seemed to affect Isaac's mind. He knew clearly that now was not the time to use it, but his hand would always reach for the javelin bag unconsciously.
Intellectually speaking, Isaac knew that this kind of thing that would seduce the user was definitely not a good bird, but unfortunately, his sense was getting less and less now.
Isaac stands here with his own will. If Viola and the Demon King God are not stopped, his homeland, the Demon Kingdom of Subia, will definitely lose all the way, or even be destroyed.
This is something that is absolutely intolerable to Isaac, who is loyal to his country.
He chose to abandon his honor as a general and his honor as a knight. In fact, he did so with the spirit of a martyr.
But as the battle continued, every collision between swords seemed to weaken Isaac's firm will, and even his consciousness itself began to become a little blurry.
When Isaac woke up, he found that he could no longer remember some small things in his memory.
For example, I have forgotten the placement of the furniture in my home, the flowers planted in the flower pots in the room, and even what I ate in the morning. This is of course something very wrong.
If Isaac chooses to stop at this moment, there is still room for recovery. Good adventurers know that they cannot rely on power that is not their own.
But Isaac did not stop. He repeatedly waved his sword to block, like a machine. Especially when he saw Viola, who was wrapped in a golden shield, launching attacks again and again, something seemed to be ignited in her heart.
That's hatred.
If it weren't for you, our army would not have failed!
If it weren't for you, my motherland would not have a coup!
If not you!
Grandpa will not die!
Once the flame of revenge is ignited, it will not be extinguished easily. It will burn itself before burning the enemy.
Isaac realizes something is wrong, but with a will for revenge, he chooses to put these abnormalities behind him.
His sword became more and more disorganized and less like himself. There was only one thought left in his mind: destroy the strong turtle shell and kill Viola!
He began to unconsciously activate the newly acquired divine power in his body. The curse of power was like a dark cloud that would never dissipate. No matter whether he was a mortal or not, he could not resist the temptation of power.
The ascending power was still increasing, reaching a height that even Isaac could not control, but he still did not stop.
That power was so powerful that even the earth could not bear it. The soft black soil under Isaac's feet was sandy, agglomerated, and fragmented at a speed visible to the naked eye under the burning of the divine power.
The exploding divine power was like a cyclone, raging to show its majesty. The personal guards and knights on both sides had to retreat some distance quickly, otherwise they would be burned to death by the rising divine power.
The trees further away immediately withered or even were ignited, but the flames could only burn quietly against the burning objects, like soft carpets, as if the flames did not dare to sway in front of the divine power.
It is very difficult for mortals to control divine power, because divine power will only obey the command of gods. Even if mortals without godhood obtain divine power, they will need a long time to practice it before they can master it bit by bit.
Viola first gained divine power when she was assassinated by a follower of the Centipede Lord. At that time, she just waved her sword, and the expanded divine power pierced the sky. This is a typical result of not controlling divine power well.
Until now, Viola can operate more skillfully. Among other things, she is a believer of Li Chengqi, and her magical power also comes from Li Chengqi, so she is more obedient.
Isaac's situation was completely different.
He is not a devout believer in the God who bestows divine power. He is not even a believer. He has only been able to obtain divine power for a short time. During this period, he has been leading the army on the road and has no time to practice at all.
At first, he did not lose control when using his divine power. It may be due to good luck, or it may be secretly helped by another existence in the dark. But soon, as the battle continues, the divine power will become more and more out of control.
Although divine power is strong, it is the power of gods after all. There is a limit to how mortals can control it.
Even gods with weak divine powers cannot control the power of powerful gods, let alone mortals.
Once the divine power used by mortals exceeds this limit, it is not as simple as losing control.
The mortal body will not be able to withstand the power of God.
