Chapter 421: Divine Progression (1)

—

'How to earn divinity as fast as possible?' – In the 21st century, the answer to that was easy. The Internet.

At the same time, people were less trusting these days. Even if one were to reveal to the world his powers, few would buy it. Even if they do assume it's truly a supernatural thing, they won't believe he's God, thanks to the disgusting amount of fantasy fictional works, magic and all of that was more open to a concept in people's heads. If someone suddenly flew into the sky, if someone walked on water out of nowhere, people wouldn't think he was God or Jesus.

"How needlessly complicated."

Neji murmured as he landed on his feet, outside the door of his Japanese mansion. He reached out a hand to open the door when he frowned, feeling a divine presence waiting inside.

"Oh right. Some Japanese Gods wanted to meet me. Bad timing." Neji paused to think for a moment. "Oh well. They can watch."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

He withdrew his hand from the door and let it open with his will. The door parted and he stepped in. Passing the front of the house where shoes were kept, Neji stopped in front of the living room. There was an interesting mixture of people there.

First were his followers; Asia, Raynare, Xenovia and Irina. The first two sat side by side on a couch, while the latter two stood behind them with their holy swords sheathed on their waist. Opposite them were two people, a woman sitting on the couch and a man behind her.

If there were a fight to break out among them without Neji, his followers wouldn't even survive a minute. They were all stronger than before now, blessed with a Dragon Sage Seal, and also having gone through a series of Neji's God blessing experimentation. Neji had been spending the little time he spent at home doing these, and naturally it resulted in these four growing a lot stronger than before.

[Raynare – Angel – High Tier 21]

[Asia Argento – Angel – Low Tier 20]

[Irina Shidou – Angel – Peak Tier 23]

[Xenovia Quarta – Angel – Peak Tier 23]

Irina and Xenovia were strong to begin with, so they were stronger than the other two – but in terms of pure Holy Power, Raynare and Asia were stronger. Raynare only had one pair of wings before, and Asia none as she was a human, but now, when unfurled, they had a total of four pairs of wings.

Azazel and Michael, the highest tier of angels, had six pairs of wings. The two girls need to grow more in not just pure magic reserves, but also learning how to fight, to match those one day. Because currently, they were no match for those Arch Angels.

Less so against the woman and man opposite them right now. All of Neji's internal monologue and observation happened in a mere split second, but the woman somehow turned to make eye contact with him. Neji checked out her subordinate for a moment before focusing on her.

[Yatagarasu – Crow God – High Tier 39]

Yatagarasu looked edgy. He was a man who had straight black hair falling over his face clad in a crow mask. He has two large pairs of black wings on his back, almost like those of Fallen Angels.

He wasn't the main issue though — he was nothing. The main issue was the woman he stood behind, his master. While Yatagarasu was a decent God, he wasn't a Satan class being. On the other hand, this woman was one and beyond.

After all, she was the Chief God of the Shinto Pantheon.

[Amaterasu – Sun God – High Tier 50]

"It's not anything personal. I just have to kill some Gods to power up. But you don't have to worry, I'm not lying when I say you are safe from that threat now unless you do something to change my mind." Neji said and walked over, standing nearly a foot over her average Japanese woman's height. "We can talk about it right now if you don't like what I'm saying."

"You! How dare-" Yatagarasu yelled, but hundreds of miniature golden portals were suddenly surrounding them, with tips of weapons pointing outwards at him. "..."

The Gate of Babylon threatened to tear him apart if he spoke another word as Neji loomed over Amaterasu. Her eyes narrowed as a divine presence shot out of her, causing the angels behind Neji to fumble — only for a moment though, as Neji let out his own divine presence out, not at all matching her in output, but somehow the depth was much more than hers.

"I thought we were having a friendly chat just now, Goddess," Neji said, his right hand gently reaching out to push her sleeve away and grabbing her chin. She flinched with a blink, as he made her look up. "I like you, call it a bias since you have hair like mine. Let's not ruin the impression."

"..." Amaterasu stared up at him with dry eyes and then smiled. "In my culture, it's very disrespectful to push away one's sleeve when they're covering their face with it. I'm sure even in your culture it's disrespectful to grab a woman by her chin like this."

"Or a sign of adoration," Neji explained. "You have a lovely face. The peak of Japanese beauty, is it?"

She smiled more. "Since you don't have your old memories, I'll let you know I didn't have such interactions with your old self. I treated him more like an elder, as despite being the Chief God of Shinto, I am not the oldest God."

"I am just saying I wouldn't want to kill a woman who has the face of a dove," Neji said. "Leave. Don't antagonize me after this, either. Unless you are ready to face the consequences of being my enemy."

"I'll keep that in mind," she said, as Neji let go of her face. "Thank you. May we meet again in the future. Yatagarasu, come here."

The Crow God regarded the order right away and stood beside Amaterasu, who gave Neji one last look before dispersing into particles of brilliant light.

Neji let go of his pressure and closed his Gates after she left. As he did that, his eyes glinted with a notification.

Progress Bar: | 17.66%

He killed a Satan and did all those other things in the Devil Realm, and now interacting with a Chief God, he was now 6% ahead of what he was before.

"Good." Neji nodded. "I also thought of a plan on how to use the internet."

It was time to livestream a conversion and public execution scene featuring thousands of important Devils. Even if he didn't get much growth from the stream, he would get enough from dealing with the devils inside his Gate of Babylon.

Neji didn't have much time, but he was already a lot stronger than a few hours ago.
