Chapter 1715 How to Nurture a Multifaceted Divinity?
?1715 How to Nurture a Multifaceted Divinity?
Eren felt that Aleph made one horrible mistake in the past.
This mistake was way bigger than the mistake he made by trusting the Slumbering Goddess. It was the fact that he didn't accept his abominated divinity himself. He didn't embrace it. Not really.
Aleph did what he did and conquered Hell to bring a semblance of peace all across the boundless cosmos. And since he conquered it, it was inevitable that it would belong to him. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
However, his act broke the fine balance that had been established between the demons and gods since time immemorial. It meant that his success had a completely opposite effect from the one he had set out to achieve. It was as if he was being criticized for being an overachiever.
The fights between demons and gods broke their usual thresholds and claimed more lives than ever before during this tumultuous period. Even though Aleph tried to establish the balance back by appointing new Demon Princes, things didn't change much for a very long time.
The race for supremacy became even more prominent among the gods and demons who had a huge following of their own. And this very race birthed a new form of chaos all across the boundless cosmos.
Aleph's actions would indeed help the boundless cosmos eventually in the future, which it did by the time Eren inherited his mantle. But the fact remained that they were the reason behind countless tragedies happening all across the boundless cosmos.
The fact that he was the reason behind this new reality didn't allow Aleph to accept his divinity for what it was. And by doing this, he set himself up for his eventual downfall.
Then how should I grow my faith? How should I nurture my divinity?"
Eren asked himself. He immediately thought of offering the Seven Sins Marks to a wide populace that had not been initiated into any faith. They could serve him as batteries to generate Origin Force Points.
The butcher had the Seven-headed serpent statue that he had acquired from Eliza's Purgatory. With a few tweaks, he could use the statue as a way to grow his faith and establish himself as a deity in Labh Salem.
After all, offering the Marks of the Seven Sins was one of the most effective ways for the Demon Princes to grow their respective influences among the masses of any world. If it worked for them, Eren was sure that it would work for him as well.
'No. not so fast. I have to see how to wield this form of divinity first. I need to know the pros and cons it has to offer. It's limitations and the ways with which I can break past those limitations.
Only then can I hope to spread it effectively– spread it wide not just in Labh Salem but in other worlds as well.'
Eren made up his mind as he got up from his position. He decided to cancel his ritual and retracted the undigested Faustian Rune Fragment within him. He would offer it to Reen to devour them later on.
"Reen, you are stupid."
Eren spoke to Reen all of a sudden who was busy moon gazing outside the window. At first, she didn't realize Eren was talking to her. But when she did, she looked at Eren with expressions of anger on her face.
"That... that came out of nowhere. What is wrong, Erni?"
Of course, Eren was trying to invoke emotions of anger in Reen's heart to see the effects of the new function he had unlocked for himself. He knew that it was a synthetic way of evoking emotions in people.
However, he was not interested in the methods but the results themselves at this point.
