Chapter 1381: Chapter 462: Doubt About Faith (6k)_2

Although this also makes the Divine Descent have the weakness of the Divine Statue, it is still acceptable. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After all, even the original Divine Descent also needed a church to provide faith and could not stray too far from it.

Now, with updated technology, the method of providing energy has added the option of ’Artificial Faith Power’, no longer requiring a church, but instead using large energy-supplying facilities to provide strength.

This is considered an optimization, liberating the application range of Divine Descent."

Bai Yi nodded slightly, already having some understanding of this new Divine Descent.

After confirming the power of the Divine Statue itself, Bai Yi began to further sense the transcendent power that the Divine Statue held.

The Power of Faith she provided flowed into the Divine Statue, then was imbued with the statue’s inclination towards faith, transforming into the abilities of the Divine Descent.

The latter reached out to grab the air, and a pale golden shockwave immediately erupted from their hand, penetrating the warship’s metal walls and mechanical components, rapidly spreading to other warships outside.

In Bai Yi’s mind, a model of all warships within a 5-kilometer radius was sketched.

It seemed as if she only needed to make adjustments within these models, and the actual warships would change according to her will.

"Is this... the ability to control machinery?

That faith inclined towards the Mechanical Brain Worm would evolve into this ability... seems quite reasonable."

Searching within the network for the source of faith within this Divine Statue, Bai Yi discovered it came from a world occupied by mechanical brain worms.

This was because Bai Yi had previously allowed her subordinate species to create different statues of her based on their preferences.

And the mechanical brain worms had chosen this semi-mechanical appearance for their Divine Statue.

The humans there, following the image of this statue and combining it with the metal control shown during the mechanical brain worms’ battles in that world, had similar imaginings of her as a yet-to-be-seen god, which was unsurprising.

"Unfortunately, the number of believers in that world is not very large, and their quality is average, making this statue a temporary creation with power only reaching the level of the Seventh Rank.

But it is sufficient for testing."

Bai Yi then proceeded to test the other divine statues that were sent over, acquiring their basic information.

The source of faith for these sent divine statues mostly came from various planets occupied by subordinate species, with corresponding beliefs inclined towards these creatures.

This caused the abilities of these Divine Descents to primarily lean towards those species’ inherent strengths, which were powers she already possessed.

For example, on the planet occupied by a witch, the corresponding Divine Statue leaned towards magic, while the Undead and Mechanical Brain Worms inclined towards mechanical abilities, and the remaining Insect Clan inclined towards the abilities of Reproduction, causing biological mutations.

Of course, each divine statue, due to differing faith origins, would inevitably have subtle differences, like different mechanical abilities, which cover wide-range mechanical operations or the simulation of mechanical megastructures, among several scenarios.

But it does not change the fact that she already mastered these abilities.

This is why she needed Vlad of the Starry Sky to handle the customization of faith, as the territory’s beliefs under her influence were too fixed, necessitating a new faith approach.

"Let’s go, it’s a good time before the war ends to take these Divine Descents out for testing.

Bai Sheng, find me a battlefield and have our Seventh Rank withdrawn; I want to personally test with the Divine Descents!"

"Understood!"

Bai Sheng agreed and soon arranged everything.

There weren’t many divine statues on hand, and since Bai Yi could control several Divine Descents simultaneously through multi-threaded control, it took only half an hour for her to obtain their detailed data, showing joy on her face.

Although they were abilities she had already mastered, indeed, the powers of these Divine Descents were quite convenient.

Especially in the mechanical aspects, where one Divine Descent’s divine power allowed for the assembly of a giant mecha from any nearby machinery at any time and granting it considerable performance.

While she could complete it with her normal Metalization ability, it would require first gathering a large quantity of metal through the Insect Swarm or another species, then melting it into magic metal.

Finally, relying on the witches to design an effective mecha blueprint and use Metalization to mold a mecha from it.

The entire process only takes a week!

Yes, this process is the current standard for researching new mecha within the territory.

But the same ability, when placed on a Divine Descent, only requires a thought of "I want a mecha," and everything is completed through the power of faith.

Even if this mecha becomes scrap metal once out of the power of faith, it doesn’t hinder its demonstration of top-notch combat power below the 8th Rank when under Divine Descent’s blessing.

If her normal ability is solving a math problem by step-by-step calculation using various formulas,

then the divine power of the Divine Descent relies directly on the Power of Faith, forcefully memorizing the problem and solution, retrieving the corresponding result when the question is asked.

The effect is more direct, even for powers she possesses; using Divine Arts makes them seem more convenient.

—Of course, this is ignoring the substantial faith power consumption...

"The past half-hour of testing almost exhausted a week’s accumulated faith, this thing really burns through resources..."

Bai Yi looked at the records of consumption online and felt a rare pang of heartache.
