Chapter 46: God of the Hunt! Third Update
The trajectory of history will not change significantly because of individuals.
Even the gods cannot stop the coming of the Saint’s Cataclysm. As the turbulence is about to engulf the entire multiverse, Soren’s intelligence organization suddenly delivered a very important piece of information to him. This even made Soren directly abandon further development of the Chess Dimension and temporarily slow down the expansion of the Demon Avatar in the Bottomless Abyss, instead pouring a significant amount of energy into the Material Plane.
The reason for everything is simple.
This intelligence is about the “God of the Hunt” – Mara. As the Saint’s Cataclysm approaches, this deity with “Weak Divine Power” was directly swept out of the Divine Kingdom by a terrifying energy storm.
In a quiet, dimly lit room.
Soren sat alone in a chair, contemplating, his index finger lightly tapping on the table as if making a significant decision.
— “God of the Hunt” – Mara.
In the multiverse.
The only deity associated with slaughter and only possessing “Weak Divine Power.”
Soren, being the “Son of Slaughter,” can say that from any perspective, the divine office and power that the God of the Hunt possesses would be of great help to him. More importantly, this deity is one he has the potential to overcome. The gap between “Weak Divine Power” and “Weak Divine Power” is not that enormous, unlike other deities that are simply impossible to defeat.
But!
An important point is that the “God of the Hunt” – Mara is an old-school deity, belonging to the Chaotic Evil Faction, with a considerable number of enemies. The only relatively close ally is the “Whip Maiden,” the one who attacked the Princess in the Frozen Kingdom. Even under such circumstances, the God of the Hunt has managed to survive well. This indicates that his own strength is still very robust. The God of the Hunt is not the Vampire Son, he is very familiar with the power of deities and has a mature church.
If Soren wants to confront him, recklessly breaking in would surely be seeking d*ath!
Therefore.
Dealing with such a deity must be well planned. It would be best to weave a conspiracy, using the many enemies of the God of the Hunt to weaken his power, ultimately creating an opportunity for Soren to take him down.
Deciding to confront the God of the Hunt is quite a risky thing.
But it also holds unimaginable benefits because in addition to the office of “Hunting,” Mara has other powers that are very important to Soren.
Relying on his powerful memory, Soren wrote down the basic information about the God of the Hunt from his recollection.
On a sheet of white paper.
He recorded the most fundamental aspects of the God of the Hunt.
“Divine Name: ‘God of the Hunt’ – Mara.
Title: King of Beasts, Beast of Black bl**d.
Divine System: Storm God System (acting independently) (Ally: ‘Whip Maiden’).
Level: Weak Divine Power.
Holy Sigil: bl**d-Stained Beast’s Claw.
Residence Domain: Heart of Fury.
Faction: Chaotic Evil.
Divine Office: Hunting, Tracking.
Domains: Chaos, Evil, Moon, Power, Bloodlust.
Believers: Hunters, evil beastmen, fierce beasts and monsters, etc.
Priest Factions: Chaotic Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil.
Favorite Weapon: Beast’s Claw (wrist guards with claws, +3 artifact).”
………………
The God of the Hunt – Mara once served alongside other evil deities under the Lord of Storms. However, due to the Lord of Storms stealing the power of the Winter Maiden, the deities serving Him became disillusioned, leading to a significant instability in their divine alliance. Because of this incident, the Lord of Storms began to cultivate a truly independent divine power of his own.
For Soren.
The God of the Hunt possesses two very important divine offices for him, one is the “Hunting” divine office. This is an extension of the slaughter divine office, which can help stabilize powerful divine power in the divine domains. The second is the “Tracking” divine office, which has numerous applications. Especially in the impending Saint’s Cataclysm, mastering the “Tracking” office can bring Soren the greatest benefits. His enemies will find it exceedingly difficult to escape his gaze. With the “Tracking” divine office, there are so many things he can accomplish.
The reason for targeting the God of the Hunt – Mara is fundamentally that he does not have enough allies.
For example, the Lord of Shadows, a potential enemy for Soren, is allied with the powerful Lady of the Night and maintains close relationships with other gods.
However, the God of the Hunt – Mara is different; as a deity of the Chaotic Evil Faction, he finds it difficult to maintain friendly relations with other gods.
On the contrary.
The God of the Hunt has numerous enemies, making it really hard to find a target more vulnerable than him.
………………
North of White Horse City.
This is the location where the intelligence was transmitted from, with confirmed reports of large numbers of believers serving the “God of the Hunt” – Mara gathering here, as well as a significant number of beastmen and various evil monsters.
This is precisely the domain of the God of the Hunt. As a Chaotic Evil deity, Mara is worshipped by many evil beings!
Planning against a deity is not easy.
Soren needs more intelligence, as well as a plan to weaken the enemy’s strength. Only when the right opportunity arises can he personally emerge to deliver a fatal blow.
The “Hunting” divine office is one Soren must obtain!
For Soren, the importance of the “Hunting” divine office even surpasses that of the “Shadows” divine office. Dealing with a deity is far from easy. He must begin to lay plans before the outbreak of the Saint’s Cataclysm. Just like the Spider Queen – Ros, who rules the Underdark, she has already begun to weave her web of conspiracy, waiting for the right time to drag her prey into her net.
Modo City seems to have quieted down.
The tense situation on the Southern Coast seems to be stabilizing gradually. Soren has not taken military action against the many forces on the Southern Coast, but is constantly targeting the Church of Fear, uprooting their strongholds one by one. Some events have occurred over in the Spearwind Hills, but the southern nobles have not paid much attention; they are more concerned about the roaming lich, not knowing what this lich intends to do, as many have already discovered traces of undead activity.
In a peaceful underlying situation, Modo City quietly dispatched scouts toward White Horse City.
Soren is not rushing for quick results but carefully collecting all useful intelligence. Dealing with a true deity requires enough patience because it is quite a dangerous undertaking.
The God of the Hunt – Mara!
Soren’s gaze shifted toward this deity with titles like “King of Beasts” and “Beast of Black bl**d.” He needs to weave a web of conspiracy, instigating a conflict between the God of the Hunt and other deities.
