Chapter 105 - A Husband Learns About The Influence Of Divine Energy!
People who could step on the 20th floor were indeed different. Of course, those who weren't born here could only reach this floor by pure strength! And now, the strength of the strongest 20th adventurer was being displayed by Xaya!
Despite her strength being unlocked to match the two new ladies who popped out of nowhere, Xaya's strength differed as it stemmed from much stronger origins.
Her whole body was clad in the yandere aura surged out from her heart and title! From afar, it looked like her origins were guarding Xaya.
"It looks like a wolf, no?"
"Yes."
"My wife is not a human."
"Oh, so a wolf."
The aura seemed to try to form the head of a yandere wife's race. A wolf's head couldn't truly appear and cover Xaya's body, however. At most, Xaya could just make some black streaks of her power fly around her to which it looked like a wolf's fur.
However, her eyes could clearly be materialized in the wolf's form.
Up above her, the red eyes of the beast hang to send the menacing waves throughout the vicinity!
A yandere wife doesn't hold back!
'I think she likes me! I think she likes me! I think she likes me!'
And because of Kyoya's words, Xaya's first target was set. It was Miss Chloe who dared to openly say she wants to snatch the husband to her house! Xaya also heard this, but she didn't even want to connect the 'filthy' vibes with Miss Chloe's statement.
After all, it was fine for 'assaulters' to just try to bring their prey back to their home to take out some bloodline or any other valuable treasures out of the body. However, when the husband directly spoke about her feelings, Xaya's eyes went wide.
It was not only because of his words but also the way he said it.
Kyoya knew that Xaya would turn her anger wholly at Miss Chloe if he made his words to sound a little happy. It was no problem at all, thanks to his Trickster God's origin! The husband leisurely faked some happiness, then left the scene to his wife.
And now, his eyes were looking at Xaya's race origins, which were trying to maul the lady with its eyes alone!
"I can feel so much hostility and enmity… Is your wife the believer of some evil god?"
"I don't think so."
"There is also a chance that her race has given birth to a god or at least disciple."
"What would that mean?"
Plutos was a good guy. Not only he gave drinks, but he also provided excellent information that satiated the curiosity which piqued in Kyoya's mind. He turned his eyes like some nerd, but it was already normal for Kyoya, who wanted to learn everything interesting in the new world as part of their adventure.
He also felt like this was a valuable piece of information.
To this, Plutos didn't disappoint. He just sucked on the straw for a little longer to enjoy the drink and tease the husband!
"Heh! If a human becomes the god, nothing happens. There are so many humans; only the highest gods might know the exact number! The same happens when the human becomes the direct disciple of some god."
Plutos laughed when he spoke about humans becoming the god. It was so rare and unheard that if not the confirmation of The Lords from above, then people would just laugh at it. Of course, no one really thinks about the gods as people similar to humans or any other races.
The gods were divine, and so their forms were unimaginable for many.
The reason Plutos was aware of it was that his party leader and seniors were at the peak of this world pillar. They could ignite the flames of the potential adventurers with this information to make them seek the greatest heights!
"People just don't want their gods to be like them. Similarly, the gods favor that idea as it makes the belief richer! Either way, back to the topic, humanity can not really change, but it is different for the races whose numbers are fewer. If we use your wife's race as an example, then let's say her wolf race mostly consists of nice wolves that take human forms and help others."
""...""
The husband and Josef listened attentively!
"And then, there is the weirdo born in their ranks. A weirdo who likes the flesh, taste of blood, and screams of its prey. Since becoming the god itself is so damn rare, let's say he becomes the disciple of an evil god or just the god who follows the similar principles. This is where the races will give birth to descendants similar to him..."
"Seriously?"
"It has become so rare, though. I think every race has already settled themselves with their own gods, so to change the race's characteristics, a weirdo has to be born… A weirdo with a unique constitution that would make the opposite god extend its hand for. Well! So many years have passed, so unless a new race appears, I don't think we will hear the news of the race's changing sides."
"Lord Aron is a new god, though."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes."
It was a surprise that Plutos didn't really pay much attention to it. If it were Rosa or any other member of their adventurer's party, then they would make sure to pull Josef into their ranks for real!
It was because the disciples of a new god were bound to get some favoritism! Their chances of going to the higher world pillar and even becoming the direct disciple were far higher than anyone else!
And because of them being one of the first, their chances of going up still would be high even if their fate was to be still mortal! And what does it mean in the world pillar where many gods' divine energies influence the lands, people, beasts, and give birth to many treasures?
A control!
Suppose Josef would be a direct disciple of Lord Aron. In that case, he could help his fellow teammates and friends get benefits from the world pillar by telling them coordinations of the new treasure, similarly to the Sixth Death God, who had given the quest for Kyoya!
If the world gave birth to some prodigy with a unique constitution for the belief, he would notify them. There were many benefits from such close contact!
"Oh, you drank it all already? No need to be shy! Just ask for more!"
"It tastes really good, so I thought it's precious…"
"Nah, not really!"
He refilled the cup instead. And it was a precious drink despite Plutos saying otherwise. Like many other treasures, Plutos was supposed to use it for Kyoya if he got wounded by another adventurer severely!
The drink could get rid of the pain when it comes to the weak adventurers and their bodies! But the husband got hit by the poisoned equipment of a 20th-floor adventurer! It ended up with the drink only providing mere anesthesia! But no one would think of it as 'mere anesthesia' if they knew the power of this poison, including the husband!
