Chapter 1189: Cap 1187: The Path Of A Deity
"Do you think we should be part of that plan?" (I)
"Yes and so do you, the Church of Light is more cunning than you might think, the God they follow is worshiped in many worlds and we shouldn't let such an opportunity pass." (Elizabeth)
"The Apostles of Truth are being cautious now, we will have time to deal with them, you too have a responsibility to be here." (Elizabeth)
"You mean the thing about the prayers?" (I)
"So you noticed? Did you try to meditate or are we so close you can hear them?" (Elizabeth)
"The Hero gave a hint, and I tried to meditate, after which I began to hear more often as a barely audible whisper." (I)
I was inside the Dungeon outside the main city, my sister and I were sitting on a tree branch at one of the highest points on this floor of the Dungeon enjoying the view.
In fact, I called Elizabeth to talk to find out more about these "Prayers" that I have been hearing in the last few hours, Elizabeth had already spoken to me about something like this in the past, but it was very superficial and now I need more complete explanations.
"Why am I listening to this?" (I)
"I'm not surprised, you are a Deity just like me, Natasha, Caitlyn, Hades, Cinthia, Haku, and all your Familiars." (Elizabeth)
"Your direct children have a high chance of becoming a Deity one day due to their blood, Silvia already has one foot in the door to become one and probably would have already if she wanted to." (Elizabeth)
"Is it that easy to get to the Divine like that?" (I)
"No, actually it's so rare that in thousands of years, there might not be any new Deities, but you are so absurd in the things you do..." (Elizabeth)
"I as a Deity if I were to take a Familiar, depending on the type of bond I have with that Familiar, it would become a Divine Beast or Divine Servant, that's why I and the others don't have any Familiars." (Elizabeth)
"A Demigod is already a Deity like a Divine Beast or a Divine Servant." (Elizabeth)
"Neither I nor the others you mentioned have the power of a..." (I)
"Power may be a defining part of a Godhead, but it is not everything." (Elizabeth)
"Even though I am weakened and limited by you, I am and always will be a Deity just like you." (Elizabeth)
"As a Divinity, it is natural to have Holy Power and as any kind of power, this one also has an origin which is Faith." (Elizabeth)
"Faith is not something as simple as it seems, it can be a mental state, an emotion, or a thought, there are many types of Faith." (Elizabeth)
"If I am wholeheartedly hated by anyone, that is Faith." (Elizabeth)
"The moment you appear to them they'll feel a natural adoration towards you without realizing they've been praying to you all this time." (Elizabeth)
"These whispers are thoughts, emotions, and prayers that represent their will as well as their Faith." (Elizabeth)
"Will you choose to turn and walk away while knowing this now?" (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
Sigh
"You know the answer... damn it!" (I)
"Don't get frustrated, how do you think the Gods came to exist, was it before or after the existence of people who believe in them?" (Elizabeth)
"I already understand, I already understand... stop with this conversation full of figures of speech, you've convinced me." (I)
She knows that I wouldn't be able to abandon someone who asks for help with such strong willpower, I guess I'm not much different from other True Dragons in the end, I'm always doing things for the most selfish reasons possible.
"What's the plan? I know you've already talked to the Priestess of the Hero's group." (I)
"I just wanted to know the situation on the planet and the movements that the Church of Light has been making, as well as you haven't been keeping an eye on them lately, I was hoping that after the last big defeat, they could spend a few years avoiding drawing attention." (Elizabeth)
"So when are they going to start this meeting, from what he's hinted at, we're not safe on this moon for long, right?" (I)
"Maybe in another 2 or 3 hours, looks like he's waiting for someone else." (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
I may be willing to help these people, but I'm not going to risk my comrades and family in an attack against the entire population of a world, I hope the Hero has a good plan or he won't get my help.
"You don't seem to trust the Hero very much, but don't worry, I already have a plan." (Elizabeth)
"Hopefully it's good because invading head-on is clearly not an option." (I)
"Don't worry, I may not know the Hero's plan, but I'm sure mine is the safest plan, Caitlyn is taking care of the initial preparations as we speak, I discussed this with her a little while before you asked me to come here." (Elizabeth)
"I hope it's a good plan." (I)
I may not trust the Hero very much, but I trust my sister a lot, I'm sure anyone responsible for training emperors and helping to forge Empires must have an incredible mind, as much as I don't like many of her methods it's still undeniable how much she loves me has helped so far.
With that I spent the next few hours in meditation trying to understand more about these "Prayers" I'm hearing and this Faith in a more practical way, even if I understand the theory after my conversation with my sister, this is still the kind of thing I need to understand truly from experience and not just theory.n0.0
