Upon learning that Bai Ye was going home with her this time, Avril's face instantly turned red, a mixture of shyness and joy.
Although Bai Ye could tell that the girl seemed to have misunderstood something, he didn't explain anything since he already had some feelings for Avril. He simply pulled the somewhat disgruntled Victorique along and followed Avril's pace.
Finally, as for why she's now on the streets of Suvarnadez, the capital of Suvarnadez, it's simply because Avril wanted to buy some souvenirs for her family before going home.
At this moment, Victorique was leading White Night by the hand, and Avril was walking ahead, holding a newspaper that had just come out that morning and reading it as she walked.
"White Night!" "White Night!"
"Look, today's newspaper says that there are signs of God's descent in a place called Horowitz!"
The girl pointed to the headline in the newspaper and ran happily to Bai Ye, wanting to share her latest discovery with him.
"Oh! Really?"
Bai Ye's tone was somewhat amused, as he was curious to know how Suvar's newspaper had evaluated the commotion he had caused a couple of days ago.
Seeing that Bai Ye seemed somewhat interested, the girl immediately pointed to the small print on the newspaper and began to read it aloud to him.
"The newspapers say that just two days ago, apparently on a gray wolf mountain in Horowitz, a pack of gray wolves angered God's majesty by offering sacrifices to the devil."
"God specially performed a miracle, sending down a magnificent, enormous cross, which leveled all the gray wolves, along with the Gray Wolf Mountain, to the ground!"
At this point, the girl seemed surprised by the news in the newspaper. She opened her mouth slightly, then continued reading.
"According to Father Vardy, who is stationed in Horowitz, the giant cross that destroyed the mountain that day stretched across the sky, and he and all the people in the town of Horowitz witnessed this scene."
"Furthermore, subsequent investigations by local authorities confirmed that the Gray Wolf Mountain had indeed disappeared, leaving only countless uniformly sized pits in its place, which is quite amazing."
"It seems that even the Pope in the Vatican has been alerted by this matter and is preparing to travel to Suvar to worship the holy site!"
Hearing that the commotion he had caused had attracted so much attention, Bai Ye simply smiled and remained silent.
Then the girl pointed to the small print on the back of the newspaper and continued speaking.
"However, it seems that the scientific department of Suvar also pointed out that the so-called miracle was actually fake."
"The so-called cross is actually just a projection faked by the Paranormal Department using the latest projection technology. Even the Gray Wolf Mountains were just flattened by a large amount of high explosives. Those craters are the best evidence."
"I saw in the newspapers that the country's science department and paranormal department seem to be arguing fiercely about this matter!"
The girl was curious, wondering if the miracle was real and why it would cause a dispute between powerful departments in two countries.
"It's all for profit!"
Victorique, who had been walking quietly to the side but had been listening intently, suddenly interrupted.
"In recent years, influenced by the Industrial Revolution, the development of the Science Department has been suppressing traditional paranormal departments."
"But the paranormal department can't produce any evidence to prove that paranormal phenomena really exist. All they can come up with are some so-called tricks by folk magicians."
"So this is why this happened..."
"Did this just become the trigger for a war between the two departments?"
The clever Avril answered before Victorique could speak.
Victorique wasn't angry this time when the girl interrupted her. It was just that the mention of the Supernatural Department reminded her of someone the girl both hated and feared.
"Speaking of this dispute between the two departments in the newspaper, there is something very strange about it."
Avril's words, as if she had discovered something, piqued the curiosity of both Bai Ye and Victorique.
"That was in the newspaper, where the Minister of Science stood up and criticized the Department of Paranormal Affairs for its mystification and superstition. But Duke Blois, as the Minister of Paranormal Affairs, did not respond at all, but only issued a strange order in the center of the newspaper."
Upon hearing the name of Duke Blois, both Victorique and Bai Ye narrowed their eyes.
Bai Ye was the first to ask.
"Oh! What order?"
Avril handed the newspaper to Bai Ye with a strange look on her face, and then complained to Bai Ye.
"It seems to be saying that the paranormal department should do everything in its power to find the Holy Child who has descended to earth."
"And they even said the Holy Son is an Eastern boy with black hair and black eyes?"
At this point, Avril seemed to be amused and patted Bai Ye on the shoulder with a smile.
"Hahaha! How could the Holy Son Jesus be an Eastern boy? I once saw a real portrait of the Holy Son in St. Paul's Cathedral in England!"
"The portrait clearly depicts a blond, golden-eyed Western European."
The girl looked somewhat amused.
But Victorique, who was standing next to him and overheard this, seemed a little worried.
She held Bai Ye's small hand and gave it a slight squeeze, her eyes seeming to ask if there was anything wrong with Bai Ye.
Bai Ye simply gave the girl a reassuring look in response to her worries.
One can only say that the Duke of Blois left too much of a psychological scar on Victorique. It's unexpected that she would still be worried after witnessing the power of the Holy Son's Descent displayed by Bai Ye.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly remembered something. He summoned Xiao Sheng and asked him to open the system panel for him, something he hadn't done in a long time.
Host: White Night
Age: 23 years old after the Sacred Lance's forbidden hand sacrifice (18 years old, body's fixed age).
Current strength: Six-winged angel (equivalent to a high-level demon) (six figures)
Deity: 1 (Hero, the Earth Mother)
Power: Harvest (incomplete) requires 0/50 divine power to reach full.
Divine Power: 22/100 (After reaching 100, the subspecies forbidden hand will be fully activated)
Faith in Divine Power: 26
Normal Forbidden Technique: The Holy Son descends and, by consuming the power of light, achieves a weakened version of the Forbidden Technique (because it is not completed through divine power, this Forbidden Technique can only exert power infinitely close to that of the Demon King).
Number of female characters bound: 8 (provides 17 points of divine power boost per month)
Followers: 26 (Note: Faith power provided by non-female protagonist characters can only be consumed and cannot be used to enhance strength)
World Travel: In progress (can return at any time without cost)
Seeing that he had fully advanced to the level of a superior demon, Bai Ye nodded.
The reason I was able to advance this time is probably thanks to Miss Holo, the Wise Wolf!
Recalling the time when he arranged for Miss Xianlang to go out and establish a church for him to settle the beautiful girls, Bai Ye smiled knowingly.
"Yes, a female protagonist with the status of a deity, after becoming your subordinate god, will bring you more than ten times the divine power of an ordinary female protagonist."
Upon noticing Bai Ye's exclamation, Xiao Sheng, who had just been studying the spell and had been interrupted by Bai Ye, also spoke up to take over the conversation.
"And you also gained the harvest power that this Earth Mother Goddess had not yet fully developed. Even if it is only an incomplete power, it is still a great gain."
When it came to powers, Bai Ye suddenly became curious.
"Speaking of which, Little Saint, what exactly is this so-called power? And is the system you handcrafted for me the complete version? Why do different entries appear every time I open the system after my strength increases?"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's question to the system, Xiao Sheng nervously scratched his head.
"This system... well, I'm just a god soul with no real power, so it's bound to be less complete than the one from the Heavenly Realm. Actually, the process of you collecting divine power is also a process of perfecting the system."
"After all, even though it's an incomplete system, it's still something we created ourselves. At least it won't be like those dark works you've seen before, where the system devours its host or kills the host at the drop of a hat!"
Seeing Xiao Sheng trying his best to explain, Bai Ye thought about it seriously, nodded, and it seemed that it really was true.
If a foreign system were to infiltrate my mind, I'd probably be wary and cautious of it.
"But forget about the system, what exactly is that power?"
Bai Ye naturally wanted to find out more about the abilities he had suddenly gained.
"In fact, power is a kind of natural rule, which can only be mastered after becoming a god. It is a metaphysical ability in the sense of concept."
When it came to power, Xiao Sheng's words became even more serious.
"Take my predecessor, for example. The power he possessed was creation. That was on the same level as the infinite, great, and red dream of the Infinite Dragon God."
"The systems, angels, divine artifacts, and even the entire celestial realm that you know about were all born from this power of creation. That is the powerful ability that, once it reaches its peak, can create an entire world."
After listening to Xiao Sheng's explanation of the power, Bai Ye nodded.
"However, I really feel that my so-called harvest power is useless, and it is also an incomplete version."
Xiao Sheng rolled her eyes at Bai Ye's words, which implied dissatisfaction.
"Come on, this is something you can only get after becoming a god. You've already gotten incredibly lucky to get it ahead of time, and you're still complaining about it."
"You think the power of harvest is just what it sounds like, simply making crops grow well? That's just because that little earth goddess doesn't know how to use it, so she only knows how to help the villagers have a good harvest and make them worship her."
"What is a good harvest? It is the ability of crops to grow faster by drawing nutrients from the earth."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye shook his head, seemingly still not quite understanding what role the ability to make plants grow could play in battle.
"What if you considered yourself a plant?"
Xiao Sheng's rhetorical question instantly opened the door to a new world for Bai Ye.
"By drawing upon the inexhaustible essence of the planet's land, one's strength can be explosively enhanced in a short period of time."
"This power is like having an extra powerful support cheat for you, which restores health and mana and can also provide a short burst of power."
Even Bai Ye was quite shocked after listening to Xiao Sheng's explanation.
I finally realized just how unreasonable this so-called power really is.
Bai Ye even felt that this thing was somewhat like the kind of god-like concept he had seen on the internet in his previous life.
"Moreover, the divine power of faith that you couldn't absorb on your own before, which wasn't from the female protagonist, can be used to nourish the growth of your power!"
Xiao Sheng's final words gave Bai Ye an even bigger surprise. Bai Ye had previously been a little unsure how to use the divine power of faith provided by these girls who weren't the female lead.
I never expected to find the best way to use it right away.
Seeing Bai Ye's delighted expression, Xiao Sheng, looking utterly speechless as if he'd seen an idiot, went back to studying his own techniques. Having wasted so much breath, Xiao Sheng no longer wanted to talk to Bai Ye.
In my mind, I watched Little Saint leave.
Bai Ye then brought his attention back to reality and realized that he had been so engrossed in the conversation in his mind that he had overlooked the two women he had just been talking to.
To this
Victorica didn't say anything, after all, she had seen Bai Ye suddenly get lost in thought and ignore her after a couple of sentences.
However, Avril, seeing that Bai Ye hadn't replied to her for a long time, was getting restless.
The moment Bai Ye came to his senses, he saw a blonde girl grabbing his shoulders and shaking him, as if trying to wake someone who was unconscious.
To this
Bai Ye simply moved the girl's arm away.
The girl finally reacted to Bai Ye's presence and complained angrily.
"Bai Ye, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly fall asleep halfway through our conversation and not respond when someone called you?"
"Could it be that you have some kind of narcolepsy or other illness?"
Bai Ye was speechless upon hearing the girl's question. However, upon reflection, he realized that it was indeed his fault for leaving the girl standing there unattended.
So he began to explain to the girl.
"Well, I'm not sick. I just spaced out for a moment."
"By the way, was there something you wanted to say to me? I might not have heard you clearly because I was distracted."
Avril stared at Bai Ye with a suspicious expression.
"never mind!"
The girl put her smile back on her face.
"I just suddenly realized that your appearance is almost exactly the same as the image of an Easterner with black hair and black eyes described in the newspapers!"
"How could that be..."
"Then what if I say..."
Upon seeing the girl's playful teasing, Bai Ye interrupted her with a serious expression.
"Is the 'holy son' mentioned in the newspaper me?"
"..."
