I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 329 Delis Gets a Startle

"Japan, a multi-headed dragon and snake... it sounds a bit like the Takamagahara system... but this country's system seems closer to the Heavenly Court system."

While using the affinity granted by her diplomatic magic to travel around, Delis also summarized the intelligence she had gathered.

The school she graduated from belonged to the Asgardian system. Although she had some understanding of the Eastern Heavenly Court system and Takamagahara system, it was ultimately not as good as her understanding of her own school and the neighboring Olympus system.

"But anyway, I remember that the famous serpent god in Takamagahara should have eight heads, so why did it only have three heads in the game world before? Was it because there weren't enough divine positions?"

Delis frowned slightly as she recalled what happened at school.

The power system of the Celestial Realm is essentially similar to the shamanistic system, but instead of borrowing or stealing the power of the gods like modern shamans, it allows them to become gods themselves.

Simply put, it involves learning and using divine arts to qualify oneself for a specific divine office, then creating legends and establishing merits to match the status of a "god," and ultimately ascending to godhood. In the Eastern Heavenly Court system, this system is known as "physical ascension to sainthood."

The strong can gather faith through their own experiences and rise to become new gods, while the weaker ones inherit the divine positions left by their predecessors and become second-generation gods, third-generation gods, and so on...

However, for this system to function, it requires a massive amount of faith to maintain the existence of the divine positions. This is why the divine realm needs a large number of subordinate worlds. In essence, summoning heroes to defeat the demon king is also a process of "creating legends" and "achieving great deeds".

If a hero is powerful enough and leaves behind great achievements in his world, he is likely to become a god worshipped. After defeating the Demon King, the hero achieves his goal, and the heavens will give him what he wants. Most will be sent back to their original world, a few will stay in their current world, and of course, some exceptionally outstanding ones will be absorbed by the heavens and become one of the gods. No matter what he chooses, his experience and legend will be transformed into a divine position and spread throughout the heavens.

Inheriting a divine position is not easy either. The divine office that matches the divine position is not easy to obtain, even though the celestial realm has a well-established system for cultivating divine offices.

After all, there are many people who can easily form divine positions, and the suitable divine positions have long been snapped up. Even for a top student like her with three divine positions, it would be difficult to find a divine position that is still vacant.

However, when I was in school, my teacher told me that back when the Exile Lands system had not yet been established, there was a large shortage of war-related divine positions. At that time, as long as there was a suitable divine position, even if it was not fully satisfactory, one could take up the corresponding divine position. However, in that case, the power of the position itself could not be fully exerted, and there were even examples of defective divine positions splitting out.

Having unearthed this knowledge from her mind—knowledge that had virtually no application except for exams—Delise seemed to have gained some insight:
"The multi-headed serpent is a very common beast god rank. Thinking about it carefully, his behavior in the Land of Exile does seem somewhat like he's trying to gather divine authority... In other words, he might be trying to collect eight divine authority? Before, in the Land of Exile, because willpower was relatively scarce and the worldview background was biased towards the West, he ended up with a hybrid three-headed dragon. Now, he's creating floods and absorbing dragon energy, which is very likely to be his way of completing his divine authority..."

Thinking about this, Delis felt a little anxious, because she realized that if she let Feng Xue continue like this, it would only become more and more difficult to deal with.

In order to maintain the numerous divine positions, the divine realm needs a massive amount of faith power, which is also the reason why they manage the lower worlds. The Demon King can at least be used to enhance the resume of heroes, but the Demon God is really stealing cake from the celestial realm!
“Although I’ve locked onto his aura, for a demon god, the aura of a divine position is even stronger than that of his true form. Moreover, if he doesn’t show his full strength, his true form is very weak. Coupled with his disguise techniques, it’s too difficult to track down an individual through hunting, not to mention that strange teleportation technique. I must find a way, preferably one that prevents him from escaping and forces him to fight…” Delis recalled the many cases she had seen, pondering how to make a demon god willingly fight to the death. Then she sadly discovered that the cases she could find were all about heroes being held hostage by the demon king and unable to escape.

"Sigh!" Delis activated her personal terminal, opened the database, and began to look up relevant details, but the more she looked, the more confused she became.

Blackmail requires intelligence support, but Delis knew absolutely nothing about Feng Xue's real name (it's uncertain if it's true), background, or family history...

"No, that's not right, there are still some!"

A cold glint appeared on Delis's face:
"For a demon god, the most important thing is naturally his faith base. As long as we attack his faith base, we can force him to defend himself. Only then will I have the opportunity to kill or seal him!"

At this moment, she had a kind of "do or die" spirit. After all, once she attacked the foundation of faith, the faith system of this world would inevitably be in chaos. If the Takamagahara faction found out, they might suspect that the Asgardian faction had stolen their foundation.

But Delis didn't have the time or inclination to think about diplomacy at that moment; her priority was survival!
For her now, being extradited to the Takamagahara area to serve time in jail is actually a good thing. If she can create a stir and make it look like a case of cutting her losses in time, she might not even go to jail.

But if this demon god is allowed to continue, Delis feels that she might become one of those unlucky souls who hasn't appeared in the heavens for almost a thousand years, and who will be executed for committing the outrageous crime of assisting a demon god!

"Anyway, the standard combat strength in this world isn't high! And the 'Alaya' (referring to humanity) is relatively loose, so let's gamble on reaction time!"

At this moment, Delis decided to trust her colleagues' determination to slack off. She took off, spread her golden wings, and flew straight towards Japan. She had figured out that the place where she first landed was actually Japan!
"No wonder the pursuit of the clergy led me there. It wasn't an error in traversing worlds, but rather that I hadn't understood the profound meaning contained within the clergy!"

Delis sighed inwardly and made a silent vow that she would always believe in her divine calling!
However, Delis failed to notice that her intelligence seemed to be declining somewhat.

There was nothing she could do; after all, she had left behind so much divine power in the "Land of Exile."

For Mello, the only one who can utilize divine power, isn't it obvious where to use such a sum of divine power?
