Chapter 97 - Ki, The Lesser Minor Deity Of Curse (1/2)

Half an hour had passed, and the lifeless vessel was still being enshrouded by the energy of life, trying to ensnare its being into sentience.

MF fondled some prototype bio-artifact's schematic, as she experimented with her 'faith of death' to see what effect it had on inanimate objects.

The bits of perpetual creation divinity did enhance the result from her dark seed of creation.

Curious, she then applied some 'faith of perpetual creation' to the hard working life energy of her awakening clone.

”Waiting until dawn dissecting the essence of life does put a smile on my face.” MF threw her gaze into the dark area of the cave, as if someone was there from the beginning. ”I wonder if I can put my hand on a 'lesser deity' too. Are you sure you still want to hide there?”

”Gyekh!”

The halo's 'minor overseer' had revealed a weird kind of camouflage from the moment MF tested her newfound divinity. A true deity or pseudo deity could actually sense the other deities if their sense were strong enough.

When a deity was acknowledged in the perception of another deity, they could analyze each others' portfolio from the symbols of divinity in their soul. MF might have found this information just recently and she won't want to show her back to a strong deity.

”Is there something that I can help you with? 'Lesser Minor Deity of Curse'?”

A young blonde girl in an ancient runic dress manifested in MF's vision. Red pupils and dark sclera. She produced an unknown harmful agent akin to a virus from her body constantly, slowly rising and disintegrating in the air as if her whole body was composed of these wicked substances.

”H-how did you know my identity!?” Her face was shocked, more or less terrified and more proud, as if someone had finally remembered her as someone important. ”Ehem, this deity's name is Ki! The 8th member of Lunatic Runagate! And I humbly want to recruit you to our Evil Circle for shall we create an endless chaos upon this god-forsaken land!”

”That is ironic, coming out from a literal deity.” MF snickered.

This was the first time for MF to hear something edgy as 'Evil Circle'. The Ouroboros' interest was never this piqued. The idea of an organization of the lower pantheon among a group of Neamh's deities felt rather surreal as it never had been inscribed in any codex or scrolls she read before.

MF's 'Minor Overseer' ability could see through the 'faith' this deity had collected. It was lower than what MF had expected, sitting at around 488 bits of 'faith of curse'. Either she was a young deity herself or a naive old timer who lived carefreely without any ambition—or a dumb lass who don't know how gathering faith works.

'Poor girl. My little frankenstein might take a while to open her eyes, might as well play around with this cinnamon roll.'

Despite the difference in height, Ki looked up to the tall pseudo angel-deity with enthusiasm, too much even. MF could imagine a smoke coming out from her nose like a bull.

”Senior Ki, as a representative, would you kindly present the benefits to this junior of joining your profound Evil Circle?” MF posed dramatically, preaching her words like how a naive junior would.

”Oooh! Oooh! Senior! I like the sound of it!” A smoke then gushed out from her nose. ”Ehem! Lunatic Runagates is an elder evil circle established a few hundred years ago. As for the benefits, we can guide you and let you grow with the 'glyphs' we cultivated!

”The seniors there were also kind! In fact, I'm actually a vibrant greenhorn myself even till this day and the elder in the council gave me this important mission to recruit any newborn deities in my cryptic mountainous domain! Wait…”

The lesser minor deity began to panic.

”W-why is this land different than my domain!? I swear I only took a nap for ten days!”
