Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy had expected Apollo's shock.

Naturally, the other party has no way of knowing that he actually does not have any so-called priesthood.

He is not God at all.

Its magic power is still magic power, and it has not been tainted by faith and has become "divine power". It is just that it has absorbed a lot of divine power from gods such as Pan God and the Three-Headed God as resources, so it seems to be huge in total and somewhat similar to gods.

In fact, Murphy felt that although these gods were using divine power, they knew nothing about the nature of divine power.

The more basic and abundant the priesthood is, the better the quality of divine power will be. In Murphy's eyes, this feature is still a reflection of the magic power payment effect.

The so-called priesthood or belief is actually a set of philosophical methodology and world view to explain the world.

When this methodology and worldview become more complete and closer to the real laws and phenomena of the material world, the greater the changes in reality that divine power can cause, the stronger the divine power will naturally be, and the higher the quality will appear.

But Murphy's magic does not contain any "philosophical concepts", "world rules", etc.

In the eyes of Apollo, the "universe" that belongs to Murphy alone is not the "philosophical universe" or "spiritual universe" built up by the so-called "clergy", "concepts", "images" and "laws", but the "universe of the soul" that is connected with the outside world. Another "material reality" that is the same as the real world.

This material reality is built on Murphy's precise perception and magic operation of the microscopic world.

Before time travel, he had already obtained atomic-level perception through access to various ultra-precision detection equipment such as electron tunneling microscopes, and obtained micro-magic control capabilities through ultra-precision magic probes, which he used when killing the Three-Faced God before. Quantum Slash is a manifestation of the control of magic power under this scale.

Now, he is just covering the space around him with this control power.

And with this atomic-level magic control ability, wherever its magic power covers, the four basic forces can be distorted, and the most basic and lowest rules of the universe can be rewritten by it.

In a certain sense, this is indeed his own "universe".

Of course, even after these hours of familiarity, this kind of operation of rewriting the underlying material reality is still extremely difficult. It is also because he has a large amount of divine power that he can squander at will, and he has gradually figured out some ways.

However, Murphy was not preparing to fight Apollo at this moment. After seeing that he had intimidated the opponent, he released the control of his magic power.

Apollo felt as if a mountain had been removed from his head, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"I only want divine power," Murphy said. "Just give me some of the divine power you currently have. I want your priesthood to be useless."

For the gods, divine power is just a consumable. As long as the priesthood and faith are not lost, the divine power will continue to flow. Therefore, most gods do not pay special attention to divine power. If it is empty, it will be replenished naturally after a period of rest.

Even if other gods want to take away other people's divine power, it is only a one-time use, and it is gone after use. It is almost meaningless. Only the priesthood is fundamental.

Therefore, when Apollo heard Murphy talking about asking for divine power, he subconsciously thought that Murphy wanted his priesthood. Now that he understood it, he was confused and relieved.

"I see, I misunderstood," Apollo said frankly, "But since I just want divine power, why should I be stingy."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a ball of light poured into his palm, forming an entity-like ball of divine power on his palm, and threw it to Murphy.

"This is half of my divine power, and it should be used as a reward."

Murphy didn't refuse and happily accepted.

Later, the two discussed some specific details. Apollo promised to try his best to cover up Murphy in the God Realm and let Murphy do whatever he wanted. Murphy also promised to keep the matter about Apollo secret and tried his best to keep Nibo The spread of the Dragon Root Epic dug a big hole for Wotan and the Nordic pantheon he created.

The two sides talked for a while, and the guest and host enjoyed themselves. Before leaving, Apollo gave Murphy a golden fur as a gift.

Murphy looked familiar, and he was even somewhat familiar with the magic power remaining on it.

Asked about its origin, Apollo said: "There was once a hairy god who was unruly and had many conflicts with me. I killed him several times. This was his divine body in his previous life, but it also had some supernatural powers and could continuously create Gold, you want to spread legends in the world, this may be useful to you.”

Murphy thought for a moment and understood something.

This fashion was before the Christian era. God Christ had not yet appeared, and God Pan was naturally not dead yet.

The fur that is similar to it most likely belongs to Pan’s previous identity: the Egyptian ram god Khnum.

Think again that Khnum was killed by Amun of Thebes.

Amon later became one with Ra, the Egyptian sun god.

Murphy looked at Apollo with a slightly subtle expression.

This god may not be as young and reckless as he appears.

Since Zeus can create an incarnation of himself in Northern Europe and leave a way out for himself, can't other gods be able to do such a thing?

In other words, didn’t the gods in the past do this?

Is there another reason why Apollo is so familiar with Zeus's tactics?

…

Apollo left, and Murphy also collected Apollo's divine power and the Golden Fleece and left the cemetery.

He walked casually on an avenue, thinking about his plan.

He originally planned to use the Nibelung Ring as an experiment to test the method of using legends to guide and control gods.

Now, although the experiment has not yet been fully launched, it has basically received the expected feedback.

The story of Apollo attaching so much importance to the Ring of the Nibelungs already illustrates the influence of legends on gods, and it can even change the fate of gods.

But Murphy felt that it was still not enough and that something was missing.

Even if he can use the Nibelung Ring to set off the Twilight of the Gods, it will only reshuffle the Nordic gods. However, those gods may not die. They may take advantage of this opportunity to annex other gods, change their identities, and change their appearance. Reappear in another place in another appearance.

Just like the clone of Zeus, or the possible origin of Pan or Apollo.

In this way, his so-called "guidance" and so-called "control" are actually just making waves in vain, but they are just a wedding dress for the gods of those who come later. It has no meaning in terms of getting rid of the overall control of the gods.

He seemed to have entered a dead end again.

Known: Faith is immortal and gods are immortal.

We also know that the so-called restraint between gods can only lead to the decline of one thing and the growth of the other.

Question: How to weaken the overall spirit and how to suppress it?

Murphy looked up.

The breeze blows, and the shadows of the trees are mottled and swaying. The rustling sound is like a whisper or a chuckle, as if the gods in the sky are laughing at his futility.

they said:

"This question has no solution."

But Murphy was still walking, and his mind was still searching for the glimmer of opportunity that he might have overlooked.

"Although legends can influence the gods, the gods are self-aware and will not follow the established script. Therefore, they can borrow legends to achieve their own goals. This is a flaw in the legend-guided route."

"However, this route is not without merit."

"The key is how to make all the gods willingly participate in the script."

“At the heart of the problem is poor information.”

"The legend is transparent. All plots have been made public. There is no information gap between me and the gods, so naturally I cannot control them with this."

“But what if we create an information gap?”

"cheat……"

Gradually, a new idea formed in Murphy's mind.

"Yes, cheating."

"Let's change the story. This time it's not about guiding mortals, but about guiding the gods to believe in something..."

"There is no point in letting them kill each other. What is important is containment, restriction, blockade, isolation..."

"They compete with each other for the priesthood, but they don't care about divine power..."

"But divine power is the fundamental factor that affects the real world..."

As if he had touched an important node, an idea was about to come out.

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind stopped, everything was black and white, as if all the colors had been taken away from the space, the sunlight became temperatureless, and a cold, dead, and decaying feeling suddenly came. .

A man in black robes emerged from a gust of cold wind, and a deep hole opened behind him. It was pitch black inside, as if it led to an infinite and deep abyss.

"Hades."
