I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 369 Delis has stopped supplying.
"Ahhhh!"

Accompanied by an extremely piercing scream, a figure exuding a dazzling aura descended from the sky, trailing flames as it plunged directly into the sea.

The heat from air friction created a mist, and the figure that had fallen into the sea did indeed float to the surface after quite some time, lying like a corpse.

"what's the situation?"

Delis was still a little confused. She had already been able to intuitively sense the target's location, so how could her divine power suddenly be cut off?

I opened the eyepiece to check if I had accidentally turned off the Wi-Fi, but suddenly saw a message that the Divine Power Channel was closed.

"What's going on? I've been in the Celestial Realm for so many years and I've never seen a divine network go down! Wait a minute! This thing is directly connected to the divine offices, how could this be... Holy crap!"

At first, Delis didn't think much of it; she simply logged onto the official website to try and get some information. But the next moment, the wanted poster on the homepage made her dizzy—

Name: Delis Lindbergh
Bounty Level: Extremely Evil

Reason for the bounty: Taking advantage of his official position, he entered the lower world without authorization, illegally used divine power, destroyed the land of exile, assisted the demon god in spreading his faith, damaged friendly relations between the pantheons, carried out a large-scale massacre of believers, and illegally conducted interdimensional travel.

Note: The wanted person holds a degree in one of the three divine professions from Loki Academy and is accused of having an improper relationship with a Daedric Lord rated A+ or higher. This is considered the most heinous high-IQ crime of this era. Furthermore, Loki Academy states that this student's behavior is unrelated to the academy's philosophy.

……

"How much...?" Delis stared wide-eyed at the string of zeros below the wanted poster. What did she do to deserve this? At such a young age, she had a bounty that she could only accumulate by working for 20,000 years without eating or drinking, including all kinds of performance bonuses, subsidies, and rewards.
"I was just deceived too!" Delis lay on her back on the sea, her tears flowing uncontrollably into the ocean.

However, Delis was a graduate of Loki Academy and had seen plenty of crime cases, so she naturally knew what to do in this situation.

First, she opened the system panel and completely cut off the network connection to avoid being found immediately. Then, without even going ashore, she directly tore off the core device on the lower side of her breastplate and physically destroyed it.

This device was originally intended as a last resort for field personnel in case of an accident, and it is also a key coordinate for celestial positioning.

Once it is destroyed, even if the celestial realm wants to find her, it must rely on specific divine officials to conduct a wide-area investigation.

Next, she removed the headdress and completely destroyed the transmitter inside to ensure that signal communication was physically cut off, in order to prevent the equipment from having a hidden door.

Only after completing all this did she feel like casting a freezing spell to create a piece of floating ice, and then slowly and methodically unequip herself, checking each piece one by one.

However, it seems that even the manufacturer did not expect that someone would actually wear a piece of equipment meant for a public security officer who monitors surveillance to the mortal realm and then defect (equivalent to a shopping mall security guard escaping with his issued baton and walkie-talkie). Therefore, there are no other hidden doors for transmitting information on this equipment.

Having confirmed this, Delis finally breathed a sigh of relief and put her equipment back on one by one. At the same time, she was also glad that Loki Academy, as the oldest, most complex, and most comprehensive theological seminary in the Asgardian system, had always maintained some programs that had been banned in other schools.

Even the teaching materials were revised with the participation of each generation of fraud masters, and there were countless cases on various criminal psychology, criminal methods, and major cases. It was through these cases that Delis was able to understand how to avoid risks after her initial panic. Only after that did she re-examine the wanted poster, and her initial sadness slowly subsided.

A normal wanted poster would obviously not have this note, but after seeing the words "high-IQ crime", "Loki Academy says", and "academy philosophy", Delis laughed instead.

Some things need to be viewed from the opposite perspective, and the fact that this wanted poster contained content that should have appeared in a tabloid is itself a form of information.

"The academy is making cuts."

Delis stretched out her arms forcefully, releasing her pent-up energy. Those unfamiliar with the situation might not understand why the school would make a cut when the company hadn't even announced the temporary workers yet. This cut was not the same as that cut, because Loki Academy itself retained some divine positions that could not be obtained through examinations.

God of deception, god of mischief, god of trickery...

These negative aspects of clergy are not taught in any school, but just because they are not taught doesn't mean you can't learn them.

The note the academy added to the wanted poster at this point clearly stated:
"Work hard, and if you succeed, you'll be the next god of fraud!"

Of course, this has to be successful. If it fails, then the cutting will naturally become a real cutting.

Thinking of the glorious deeds of the Asgardian gods of deception from the past, Delis couldn't help but click her tongue. While it wasn't all bad, well…

"As a Valkyrie candidate with three divine classes—[Noble], [Knight], and [Hunter]—I can still strive to become the 'Wild Hunt,' but the Goddess of Deception? I really can't do that!"

Although she said that, Delis managed to pull herself together. Although she didn't realize it herself, the fact that she couldn't draw divine power from the divine realm might not actually be a bad thing for her.

With the divine power severed, the divine channel through which Melo used the VPN of the divine realm to drain her intelligence was shut down, and her intelligence once again took over.

As reason returned, Delis began to think about what she should do next.

"With my divine power severed, I can only exert less than 10% of my combat strength. I must first find a new source of divine power. Fortunately, the faith in this world is relatively abundant, so obtaining divine power will not be too difficult. Moreover, there are many gods, so it will not be easy for the heavens to detect it."

Delis stood on the ice and used the power of will scattered in the atmosphere to cast a divine spell. Although it was not as effective as her faith, it was still easy to dry clothes.

Once she was dry, Delis began to pace on the ice. Actually, compared to her divine power, her biggest problem now was her field equipment. Without the support of the divine realm, this equipment, relying solely on its offline functionality, was like a smartphone without internet access. It wasn't exactly useless, but its functionality was greatly reduced. Not to mention anything else, the offline database alone was a huge reduction.

"The academy issued a notice stating that unless I happen to run into heroes and allies on missions in other worlds, the Celestial Realm won't target me specifically in the short term. As for disrupting diplomatic relations... well, those guys in Takamagahara have never been friendly with the Asgardian system anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they disrupt relations or not! The most urgent thing is to find the source of divine power in this world, then find that nascent demon god, and capture him before he fully develops. That way, I can atone for my sins and say to the outside world that I 'gained the other party's trust and captured him,' thus solidifying my reputation as the God of Deception..."

As Delis thought of this, her previously gloomy future suddenly brightened. The thought of having the chance to touch the pinnacle of the God of Deception made her even want to hum softly...
