Chapter 1041: Chapter 43: The Man Who Slaughtered His Way Through the Abyss! In most parts of the world, wealth is the cornerstone of mighty divine power, generally from mid-tier divine power upwards.
The fact that the goddess Waukeen struggles doesn’t mean the divine position of wealth does.
The core divine positions of Waukeen are wealth, money, and trade, whereas the golden decree scepter in Duncan’s hand is infused with the power of the ’money’ domain.
This blow of the ’big money stick’ struck down, making even the ghoul king Doreson doubt existence!
One could say the factor limiting Duncan’s combat power now is purely that the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, has not fully developed the potential of the divine position of money and wealth. If it were a world with a higher civilization level, perhaps akin to modern magic civilization, then the power of money and wealth could instantly knock dead the lower demon lord in front.
All that nonsense about love and joy, in the face of the god of wealth, everything has to stand aside.
Duncan chooses the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, precisely because of the enormous potential of this divine position!
Bang.
The ghoul king Doreson felt an unprecedented mighty force coming at him, and what terrified him even more was that under the erosion of the money domain, several of the curiosities on him showed traces of decay, as if struck by a dissociation technique.
While other adventurers might fear dissociation techniques would ruin the spoils of war, the wealth church has no such fear; the five fierce women never needed to rely on spoils to make a fortune.
Those that can be wrecked are trash, and the five fierce women have no interest in them.
Only those that can’t be wrecked qualify to become their spoils.
Due to the incompetence of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, the church has few divine artifacts, but there are plenty of high-tier marvels as holy equipment. (Note: Forging divine artifacts requires injecting divinity and divine power, which leads to some loss of the divine spirit’s origin, hence weak divine spirits won’t easily forge divine artifacts.)
Now the goddess of joy, Lierla, temporarily manages the divine position of wealth and at this moment the domain laws bestowed upon Duncan, the most core are three domains—wealth, money, trade.
The trade domain grants negotiation and other extra abilities, and it can also access certain teleportation spells.
As for wealth and money, in Duncan’s hands, it’s literally about using money to crush people.
——"Supreme Gold Authority (Domain): Enhanced by the domains of wealth and money, the stronger your financial influence interferes with reality, the stronger your comprehensive attribute enhancement becomes. Greatly boosts the reinforcing effects of high-value curiosities you’ve equipped, and you gain the conceptual boost of money and wealth."
[Your grasp of domain laws affects your interpretative authority over the concept of wealth.]
(Note: Divine positions involve the interpretative authority over the law’s origins, such as nature; divine spirits holding natural divine positions have the power to define and interpret nature.)
——"The Great Collector (Domain): All legendary-level curiosities you’ve equipped are free from regular wearing restrictions; you can equip more legendary equipment simultaneously, and exert their effects as long as they don’t hamper your actions."
——"Gold Law (Domain): The money domain grants you powerful charm, and your possessed wealth invisibly influences others’ perception of your charm, thus enhancing influence. You may attempt to corrupt targets with money."
——"Money Can Communicate with God (Domain): Nothing is impossible to buy with money, and if unable to purchase, it just means the offered price isn’t high enough.
You can leverage domain laws to influence others and directly offer a price they might find irresistible to buy whatever you desire!"
[Including but not limited to abilities, emotions, lifespan, and other uncommon non-material things.]
(Can merge with the evil domain.)
(Money is the devil.)
[Note: Targets must pass a high-difficulty will immunity judgment to refuse the irresistibly offered price.]
The empowerment of wealth and money domains on Duncan clearly shows some changes, evidently broader than when in the hands of the goddess of joy, Lierla.
Furthermore, this isn’t the complete domain of wealth.
Because the concept of wealth is vast!
The ghoul king Doreson staggered to his feet with some embarrassment; he didn’t know where this man came from, but his luxurious armor was even more extravagant than his own, merely the shining spiritual light nearly blinding people.
At this moment, half of the wealth church’s foundation adorned Duncan, causing the ghoul king to lift his broken staff in an attempt to recite a spell, but the spell’s spark merely flickered and then immediately extinguished.
Magic Resistance!
The reinforcement from the three goddesses of the Bright Water Realm, along with Duncan’s legendary-level anti-magic belt, directly rendered the ghoul king’s magic-like abilities immune.
——"Divine Grace of the Goddess of Love: Immune to negative effects of charm, domination, fascination, and mind-related spells."
——"Divine Grace of the Goddess of Luck: Immune to negative effects of doom, curses, trickery, and curse-related spells."
——"Divine Grace of Lady Joy: Immune to negative effects of fear, despair, mind, and morale-related spells."
Dominant body status!
Though the three goddesses of the Bright Water Realm have mediocre combat power individually, their supportive reinforcement is top-notch in the domain.
Facing the awe-inspiring Duncan, the ghoul king immediately changed his tactics; unable to defeat this man, he must find a way to trap him, waiting until the battle on Yenogu’s end is resolved and then gathering the power of the two demon lords to defeat him.
——Maze Spell!
——Imprisonment Spell!
The ghoul king Doreson took out another treasured curiosity, the gift of the undead monarch, instantly activating a series of spells.
Yet in the next moment, the divine grace spiritual light on Duncan automatically refreshed.
