The notifications didn't stop there.

-You Have Received Blessing Divine Ability.

(Blessing: Spend 1DE to unlock the potential of an entity and make them extraordinary)

(Description: All power comes from gods)

There was more.

-You Have Received Minor Miracle Divine Ability.

(Minor Miracle: Consume DE to create minor events that are favorable to you)

(Description: Gods are beings that defy the natural order of the world. They can perform seemingly incomprehensible things that baffle mortals.)

-You Have Received 9 Divine Energy.

+9 DE

This increased their total divine energy to 10 points. It is greater than what they can store normally, but the system is giving them what they need to get started. They especially need Divine Energy to perform miracles and blessing. It won't do for them to die after exhausting their single Divine Energy.

Their angel informed them, "These divine abilities are possessed by every god seed and will ensure that you are able to complete your quests. Your divine energy limit will be wavered until you ascend to the divine plane. So I advise you to acquire a lot of Authority while you are in the mortal realm or you will lose any extra divine energy you have."

Legion-2 asked his angel, "What is the price of death? Surely a single death should not be the end of a god. Or are the gods in this world easy to kill?"

"I don't understand what you mean by the gods of this world. I don't know of any other world." It said with part amusement and part confusion. Then it continued, "Either way, a god will drop half of your divinity upon death. Then they will resurrect as long as the conditions to do so are available."

Legion-2 considered the answer and said, "Half? That's very costly."

But the angel gave him more to think about. It said, "Your enemy will be able to gain that half."

Legion-2 was pleasantly surprised. "That is not so bad. The cost of death is steep, but the encouragement to kill is even higher. I can live with that."

Legion-3 asked, "Is there a way to kill a god permanently?"

That is what concerns Legion the most. Sure, killing other gods is rewarding, but they know as immortals themselves that if you can't get rid of your enemy by killing them, then you should probably not start the conflict at all.

The angel replied, "Gods are not true immortals. There are 2 ways to kill them permanently. Unfortunately, you do not have access to that information right now. You will gain access to it when you become a local deity. But know this, if you die before you become a godling, then you will be eliminated from this world forever."

They were not happy that the information is being withheld, but they are happy that it is possible to kill a god permanently. It is even better that they have two options to achieve it.

They asked for other information from their angels as they walked towards the settlement in the forest. They asked mostly about miracles and how to use them. Their angels informed them extensively as they walked.

They walked straight through the trees and every obstacle in their way since this world didn't seem to affect their physical bodies. They also couldn't interact with the world with their bodies at all. It was as if they were intangible.

Their angel explained to them that they were currently wandering deities, the weakest of god seeds, so they cannot affect the world outside of miracles.

Rain began to fall before they reached their destination. It didn't affect them much since it didn't interact with them. The rainwater just passed through their existence, just like the trees. It didn't hinder them but it reminded them of their weak circumstances.

If they had their full power, the dark clouds would be swept away and the rain dispersed. But they are weak so they have to bear the disappearance of light and the gloomy weather.

It is a good thing that, apart from the gloom, the downpour didn't affect them negatively. This is even though the light of the sun has disappeared and the world has become dark. This is because they can see their environment as if it were day.

They are being forced to see through their eyes, but at least their eye sight is impeccable. The fact that they aren't stepping on the ground directly also helps with the fact that they can't fly and are not wearing any footwear. So even though they have been forced to walk like mortals and the ground has become muddy because of the rain, it doesn't affect their footing at all.

These two are especially important considering how fast they are moving. They are moving so fast that they passed a bird flying to shelter. They possess a speed that is worthy of gods. However, they are more like speeding ghosts than gods with the way they passed through everything in their way.

If they couldn't see where they were going because of the darkness or if the muddy ground affected their steps, then they might slip and fall. Then they would not be speeding ghosts, but embarrassing gods.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They soon came upon the source of smoke. It is a small settlement at the foot of a mountain. The walls of the settlement were built with stones. It is not skillful work, seeing as the stones were just piled on top of each other and reinforced with wooden beams. But it is still better than wooden walls.

What drew their attention was that the settlement was full of Orcs. They were yellow skinned brutes going about their day in the settlement. They ranged from 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters all. But all of them were muscular and physically feat. Even the children were.

Their activities were mainly shepherding herds of various animals, tanning and working animal skin into leather, sewing clothes and making weapons. None of them noticed the gods to be in their midsts.
