Soren did not absorb the domain of [Fate].
Therefore, when he granted this domain to Lady Misfortune, Soren only lost 25 points of divinity value and did not lose more important divine rank value.
If a deity wants to bestow an integrated divine profession and domain, then the loss is not just divinity but also divine rank. The subordinate deities nurtured by the Lord of Radiance share the divine power from themselves. Thus, under normal circumstances, very few deities cultivate subordinate deities this way. The Lord of Storms nurtured the Lich God in this manner, trying to create a divine servant that can be exploited, but the betrayal of the Lich God later informed the gods that this route was not viable. For Soren, losing a bit of divine system in exchange for more support from Lady Misfortune is worthwhile, even though she is not as beloved as the Goddess of Luck.
As long as there are shared interests, that is enough.
“I should go back.” The Princess’s figure appeared outside the temple.
Although Soren gained the most power from this battle, he still killed three deities in one breath. Even though Sherek has weaker divine power, his divinity is close to superior divinity. Klanvor and Naraku both once had strong divine power, so even if Soren obtained the majority of the gains, others still benefited significantly this time. The Princess’s aura clearly indicates she is on the verge of a breakthrough; the Saint’s Cataclysm is the time when deities can easily evolve since killing targets during this period is akin to the Abyssal bl**d War, allowing one to acquire most of the enemy’s abilities. Killing during other times requires a slow consumption and absorption of divine power. The three deities Soren killed had a portion of their power devoured by the Princess; she is now close to the edge of superior divine power. The Ice and Snow Goddess possesses strong divine power, and now only a slight opportunity is needed for the Princess to attain superior divine power.
According to Soren’s calculations, the divinity value should be sufficient; the only thing the Princess likely lacks is some divine rank value.
Arendelle needs someone to guard it.
Soren walked in front of the Princess and slightly bowed in gratitude, then said, “If you need anything in the future, just let me know.”
The Princess calmly gazed at him, and after a moment said, “I feel that the energy storm triggering the Saint’s Cataclysm is weakening; our time to return to the Divine Kingdom is approaching. If you have time, you can go to Arendelle to accompany Anna. Gloria will accompany you to the realm of the gods, but Anna still needs to stay in the mortal world.”
“If possible, give her a child, so she has someone to rely on and a hope.”
Upon hearing the Princess’s words, a hint of guilt suddenly appeared on Soren’s face.
Then, he nodded and said, “I will.”
“Mm.” The Princess gently brushed aside her long hair falling by her ear and glanced at him, disappearing from sight accompanied by a few sparkling snowflakes.
If the deities return to the Divine Kingdom.
Even if they can come back, it’s only as avatars, and if Soren wants to give Anna a true divine child, he must do so within this period.
“Brother.”
“Brother.”
Lilian and Vivian only revealed themselves after the Princess left; the two little girls have grown significantly, becoming intellectually comparable to adults.
Soren smiled and hugged them, then rested his forehead against theirs, smiling, “It seems you are both close to superior divine power! That’s great! However, you have not fully merged this power yet; it’s best for you to rest for a while. Meanwhile, I also have something very important for you to do.”
Lilian and Vivian appeared eager, their voices bright, “What is it?”
Soren looked at them seriously and said, “Move the Divine Kingdom!”
“This task might be very difficult for a new deity! But you must try to solve this challenge yourselves. I need you to move the Divine Kingdom closer to the Underworld.”
“Preferably near the main flow of a River of Underworld!”
Since he has taken the God of d*ath profession, everything in the future should begin to take shape.
The situation in the Bottomless Abyss is still unclear; it would be best for Vivian and Lilian to move the Divine Kingdom closer to the Underworld, which would allow it to guard and mutually assist Soren’s realm.
“Leave it to us!” The two little girls appeared very confident.
The growth of deities is remarkably rapid; they have made great progress during this time, from initially struggling even to respond to prayers to now managing their own church, the Twin Fears have grown at an astonishing pace.
………………
Night fell.
At the tower in Modo, Soren held Gloria and looked up at the sky.
Unknowingly, the stars in the sky have become slightly brighter, something difficult for mortals to observe, but deities can feel that the Saint’s Cataclysm is gradually receding.
A new year has passed.
Although Soren changed many historical events, the duration of the Saint’s Cataclysm still remains unchanged; this calamity will completely end this year.
Almost three years have passed.
The energy storm from the depths of the chaotic sea has finally started to subside.
Soren held Gloria in his arms, his fingers caressing her smooth skin as if in contemplation, and suddenly spoke, “Are you afraid of d*ath?”
“Hmm?” Gloria looked up in confusion, then kissed Soren and said, “As long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of d*ath. Besides, aren’t you the Lord of d*ath, my love!… Accompanying d*ath means being with you!…”
Soren held Gloria tightly and then said solemnly, “Have you ever thought about mastering the [Magic] profession?”
Upon hearing Soren’s words, Gloria shivered slightly.
After a long pause, she finally said softly, “If possible, I naturally hope to stand at the same height as you!”
Soren continued softly, “The previous goddesses of magic have almost all fallen; particularly during each calamity outbreak. This is an extremely bad phenomenon, even deemed as the fate of the Magic Goddess by the gods. I have a way to potentially let you gain the [Magic] profession, but mastering this profession also means you must bear the causality of the [Magic Network].”
Gloria tilted her head and kissed Soren on the lips, then softly said, “But that might be something for thousands of years from now, right? And this need not necessarily be fate’s arrangement!…”
“Isn’t there still you standing behind me?”
Soren sighed and murmured, “I’m very hesitant. The causality that the Magic Goddess bears is too heavy. Once it rebounds, it can be terrifying!”
Gloria said nothing.
She simply held Soren tightly and softly said, “Your choice is my choice.”
