The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 825: Messenger of the Light Church

However, the Ocean Crown followed a purely elite route.

While other players often expanded their armies to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, Ji Chen expanded his forces systematically while ensuring quality.

This allowed the average tier and level of the Ocean Crown’s troops to far exceed those of other players.

The Divine Power Crystal Wyvern, sixth tier with 9 stars, had an average level of 64..

The Divine Power Naga Iron Colossus, sixth tier with 9 stars, had an average level of 62.

The Ocean Blood Dragon, sixth tier with 7 stars, had an average level of 63.

Just picking one of them randomly would suffice as a core unit. Even if there were only a thousand units, they would still demonstrate powerful effectiveness.

It’s said that the most elite land unit of the Elven Empire—the Ancient Tree Wardens—numbered only three thousand, but their combat prowess could rival tens of thousands of enemies. In a battle hundreds of years ago, they faced off against a hundred thousand evil orcs with no casualties, slaying fifty thousand foes.

Among the elite of the Markus Empire, the Swan Knights, the number of these elite cavalry troops has remained at five thousand since their creation, yet they have slaughtered countless armies of foreign races. The heads they’ve severed could build a mountain, boasting an impressive record.

Because of the existence of high-tier units like hero units, simply stacking large numbers often proved futile. Even the demons, boasting of their millions-strong army, only had a portion of elite troops, while the rest were used as cannon fodder and meat shields to absorb enemy firepower and attention.

In the face of powerful individual enemy forces, aside from deploying similarly powerful individual forces of their own, another way to cope was to send out a moderately sized but elite force capable of surrounding and killing the enemy.

This could be seen from the pursuit of the Starlight God Nora by the Black Beasts at that time. Although the Black Beasts numbered only in the thousands, they were able to chase and beat a legitimate lesser god.

Although this happened when the authority of the Starlight God Nora was sealed, it still proved the theory.

Moreover, Ji Chen had the assistance of the Military Talent Tree. Who knew if he would cultivate and strengthen a unit capable of confronting gods?

After instructing the residents to continue nurturing the Divine Power Tree, Ji Chen returned to the Lord’s Castle, focusing on the current progress of the Oceanic Faith.

Closing his eyes, he felt the power of faith from the coastal areas and various islands, and by the quantity of faith power, it was evident that the followers of the Oceanic Faith were still rapidly increasing, even faster than in previous weeks, and the range had expanded significantly.

From scattered points to a connected area, the Oceanic Faith had blossomed everywhere.

Especially on the islands and archipelagos of the coastal areas, the Oceanic Faith had displaced the original churches and beliefs of the indigenous people, becoming the mainstream faith.

The Oceanic Faith didn’t have fixed prayer times or means of extorting money from believers like “Redemption Scrolls” or the like. It even constantly provided benefits to believers, making it relatively pure compared to other churches.

But it was also because of this reason that some indigenous people, who were not originally believers, approached out of curiosity and to take advantage, and soon they fell and became loyal followers of the Oceanic Faith.

With the increasing number of believers, Ji Chen felt the power of faith becoming more abundant, and the condensation of divinity was steadily advancing.

However, the priests and pastors sent out were residents of the Ocean Crown, mainly human, and the places they could preach were limited to human kingdoms, with preaching targets limited to humans. They were powerless in the vast underwater realm inhabited by countless sea tribes.

Therefore, in order to further expand the scope of preaching, Ji Chen utilized the troop fusion function of the Military Talent Tree to cultivate a unit specifically for preaching.

By fusing a unit named “Faith Spreader” with Tide Sea Spirits, a new unit called “Ocean Spreader” was created.

[Ocean Spreader]

[Race]: Ocean Spirit

[Level]: 1

[Tier]: Sixth Tier, lStar

[Skills]: Spreader (Orange skill, this unit can spread faith, greatly increasing the speed of spreading faith, faith spreading ability is increased by 200%, and the range of spreading is increased by 200%)

Stealth (Orange skill, can be invisible to different individual beings, with extremely high stealth effect)

[Unit Characteristics]: Intangibility (Orange skill, the entity can only spread faith and does not possess attack capabilities)

[Bloodline Ability]: Possession (Can possess living beings to spread faith, possessing a certain degree of strength of the host organism in this state)

The original form of this unit is completely illusory and intangible, resembling a ghost from a ghost story, but without any attack capabilities.

But by utilizing the bloodline ability to possess living beings, it can spread faith conveniently in various races and civilizations, facilitating evangelism.

The Ocean Spreader would become the medium for spreading faith of the Oceanic Faith in the underwater realm, transforming all oceanic races such as Naga, Merfolk, and Shrimp People into disciples of Ji Chen who can provide faith power.

The number of oceanic races was counted in billions. Even if only a small portion of the intelligent oceanic races could provide faith, as long as a tiny fraction of this portion could be converted, it was enough to support the condensation of his oceanic divinity!

The first batch of one hundred Ocean Spreaders, the first stop of their evangelism work was the Great Luminescent Sea, where there were also quite a few intelligent oceanic races.

The spreaders worked in the Great Luminescent Sea have progressed very smoothly. After such a long time of submission, the oceanic races there had become accustomed and obedient to the rule of the Crown of the Ocean.
