Chapter 121 Cloak
The Shroud of Turin was controlled by Su Fan and came into contact with Su Fan's [Godhood Mask].
Su Fan did not stop the [God Mask] from devouring everything in its path, almost instantly draining the vast, ocean-like power of faith from the surface of the Shroud of Turin.
The domineering nature of the [Divine Mask] allows it to forcibly strip away and absorb the complex mental energy accumulated over thousands of years and mixed with the various emotions of hundreds of millions of believers, transforming it into the purest divine fuel.
However, an unexpected thing happened. This time, the [God Mask] did not absorb most of the faith power of the Shroud of Turin all at once. Instead, after absorbing a portion, it seemed to be full.
But the power of faith within it had been awakened, and the Shroud of Turin spontaneously combusted without wind.
But it was not a physical flame, but a pure, condensed power of faith that emanated from within!
Under the burning and forging power of faith, the ancient linen began an incredible transformation:
The originally blurry human-shaped imprints on the cloth were now completely activated and illuminated by the pure power of faith. They were no longer blurry shadows, but transformed into a three-dimensional light and shadow image full of compassion and majesty, outlined by countless tiny and indistinguishable sacred runes and brilliant light paths.
The edges of the fabric, originally worn and rough, naturally develop into tassel-like ribbons of light as the light extends. At the end of each ribbon, a miniature star seems to condense, slowly rotating and scattering a shimmering light of purification and protection.
The entire transformation process was as fast as lightning, yet it seemed as if it had undergone an ancient forging process in another dimension of time.
As the light reached its peak, it suddenly receded, and a brand-new "object" floated in front of the main altar.
"Lord! This—this is..." the old priest murmured hoarsely, almost with the last of his strength, "stripped of worldly faith, revealing the true face of holiness! This is a miracle! A true—miracle!!!"
The old priest may not have been able to understand exactly what had happened, but the sacred feeling emanating from the artifact, which resonated with the core of his lifelong faith, made him instinctively realize that what he saw before him was no longer an ordinary sacred object, but a manifestation that was closer to the source of his faith!
Throughout Turin and even further afield, countless people witnessed this sacred pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, radiating a power that both chilled the soul and brought a strange sense of peace!
An indescribable shock and religious fervor instantly swept over every believer and ordinary person who witnessed the scene.
Su Fan looked at the [God Mask].
[Strange Item: Godhood Mask]
Rank: Dust Level (can be upgraded)
Features: Conceal identity; Cost: Three years of lifespan; Rules:
1. **[Shaping]** can alter the statue's appearance within a certain range. 2. **[Enlightenment]** can enlighten the statue, granting it extraordinary abilities. The strength of these abilities is directly proportional to the faith power contained within the statue. 3. **[Puppet]** The statue enlightened by [Enlightenment] will be controlled by the user. Cost:
1. The user's divinity gradually increases while their humanity gradually disappears, just like the previously advanced artifact [Dream Pillow], except that it has one less cost.
Previously, Su Fan had desperately sought to evolve a dust-level artifact but to no avail. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, he inexplicably achieved his goal.
However, since everyone is watching here, there's no need to upgrade the [Divine Mask] now. Let's complete the mission first.
[A Curious Object: The Shroud of Turin]
Quality: Faith Artifact (Contains countless faiths, breaking through the original material limitations under the blessing of faith.)
characteristic:
1. [Immortal] Wearing or carrying this item for an extended period can slowly stabilize the mind, resist mental pollution, and enhance affinity with divine abilities. Furthermore, this item cannot be damaged.
2. [Sanctuary] The "Rails of Light" extending from the edge of the cloth can extend and intertwine infinitely, instantly constructing a temporary sacred domain. Within this domain, one will receive continuous mental comfort, physical recovery, and powerful resistance to negative energies such as curses, fear, and corruption. The tiny star-like points of light at the ends of the ribbons can automatically sense, intercept, and purify attacks aimed at the domain.
3. After [Resurrection] is activated, the "humanoid light and shadow" composed of sacred runes and light paths on the cloth will detach from the cloth and transform into a projection. This projection can perform miracles based on pure faith power, such as large-scale healing of wounds, dispelling evil, soothing the mind, or inflicting faith-based burning on targets with strong malice. Its strength and duration depend on the amount of stored faith power and the user's intentional guidance.
Even Su Fan, who played Attila the Hun, couldn't help but swallow hard; this artifact of faith was incredibly powerful.
Wearing a shroud is a bit unlucky, at least inauspicious. But with such strong attributes, it would be a shame not to wear it; it maxes out defense and attack, and even increases mental power.
Even if a piece of equipment is ugly in a game, it's acceptable as long as its stats are high, and the same applies in real life.
With this in mind, Su Fan used the [Shaping] ability of the [Divine Mask] to transform the [Shroud of Turin] into a cloak.
With this in mind, the sacred veil of light, floating in the air, immediately reacted to a garment that fit his tall figure, had an ancient and wild feel, covered his shoulders, back, and even knees, and was both easy to move in and dignified.
The fabric, interwoven with moon white and gold, seemed to come alive, beginning to stretch, fold, and shape on its own.
The shimmering ribbons at the edges move and converge like serpents, reweaving into more decorative and practical cape ties and a heavy hem; the light flowing through the main body of the fabric becomes more restrained and profound, and the color is a moon-white gold glow.
If Su Fan's previous portrayal of Attila the Hun was that of a terrifying scourge of God emerging from the abyss of history, then Attila now, draped in a sacred cloak, is more like an agent of God forcibly crowned by a mysterious destiny.
Everything happened so fast that it was over before anyone else could react.
"What's that on his shoulder?!"
"The light—it was that light! That sacred light became his cloak!!"
"My God—how is this possible?! The sacred relic—the sacred relic—he—is wearing it?!"
"Blasphemy! This is the ultimate blasphemy!"
"No! Wait, why do I feel that—that cloak—actually—looks kind of right on him?"
"Shut up! That's the devil in disguise! He has stolen the Lord's power! He has stolen the Lord's glory."
After all, it was a church, and there were quite a few clergy members who witnessed everything that happened.
Their sacred object was the savage Scourge of God; what could be more shocking and outrageous than that?
Of course, Su Fan's portrayal of Attila the Hun doesn't care about other people's noise, since theoretically, Attila the Hun can't understand the Italian they are speaking.
