Chapter 68: Finally a Tutorial (10)
He had a lot of divinity?
‘What do you mean?’
—What do you think divinity means?
‘Well…’ Chi-Woo was at a loss He had been hearing this term constantly, but now that he had to put it into words, he didn’t knohat to say
—Divinity is a for oneself A hero has to live and swear by their conviction, and a God selects a hero whose conviction coincides with theirs In the instance that a God and hero’s convictions align, a relationshi+p is established In short, a conviction could also be a form of a ‘promise’ A promise must be kept at all costs, and if a hero breaks the promise, the relationshi+p falls apart
Ru Amuh had sworn to Shahnaz that he would be the Goddess’ sword, rid this World of evil, and restore justice to this land As long as Ru Amuh acted on those convictions, his relationshi+p with Shahnaz would reht Ru Amuh’s class was a crusader’ Chi-Woo nodded with his ape
—People like priests and crusaders have especially close relationshi+ps with their Gods They have ain is also greater Of course, the same is true of individuals other than priests and holy crusaders The connection between Gods and heroes applies to all classes
In other words, a hero ained for purposes other than the ones they promised their God to serve; and in this way, the contract that they established with a God was binding For instance, if a hero promised to defeat evil, but ended up corrupted and became a demon lord’s companion, or perhaps even the deer support them, and the relationshi+p between the God and the hero would end In other words, Gods would stop supporting a hero if they judged that the hero had failed to stay true to their conviction
—Thus, it’s very i conviction If a hero for beliefs, they would clash frequently about every matter In those cases, it would have been better for them to have not established a relationshi+p at all
Chi-Woo listened to Shahnaz with a serious look on his face ‘I guess it really is ih Chi-Woo had co important information Then he realized that he still hadn’t heard a proper reply to his original question and asked, ‘But what did you mean when you said I had a lot of divinity?’
—Didn’t I tell you? A conviction is a for oneself Haven’t you proven yourself plenty of ti to this World, as well as on your way here?
After blinking repeatedly, Chi-Woo let out a s about the times he saved Ru Amuh and the recruits, and the enemies he had defeated on his way to the fortress
‘Those things count too?’
—I should be the one asking you about that Why would you think those things don’t count?
Shahnaz chuckled in disbelief
—The beings you defeated were evils that brought chaos to Liber Truthfully, you hadn’t accuht back to the World, but the lich you finished off reat villain
The greater the influence one’s actions had on the flow of the World, the greater their ic, itthe lich with a club would be valued especially highly
—It’s clear that your actions have contributed to the salvation of Liber A hero is an existence who has to save a World Since the things you have done are exactly aligned to this goal, for what reason would these actions not add to your divinity?
Chi-Woo nodded That made sense
—Of course, it would be a leap to call what you possess right now ‘divinity’ When a hero’s thoughts and actions coincide with the convictions they had sworn by, we call the result ‘merit’ When a hero returns with rants it to the hero Therefore, accu divinity
Chi-Woo finally realized why the heroes had gone out at the peak of dawn and why Ru Aot a new task he must take on If a hero wanted to recover their powers, they had to prioritize getting chosen by a God first But for theain divinity, they needed to accumulate merits The quickest way for them to collect merits in this situation was to defeat the evils that wereup Liber However, since the heroes would likely die if they went out in their current states, Zelit had requested help froht now, you have accued for divinity at any point in time—than anyone else
In summary, if a hero acted in a er as a result Conversely, if they didn’t produce satisfactory results, their growth beca direction and failed to act in a heroic manner, they could even be weakened These conditions were decided by a God, and in this way, the relationshi+p between a hero and a God could be seen as transactional Of course, collectingevil
As Chi-Woo’s mentor had repeated to hiood place after he died, he should do a lot of good deeds Having good thoughts was i them into action was far more important, and that was the only way he could accumulate merits It was the same in the Celestial Realel Raphael
[Just splurge]
[Come on, kid What do you olden spoon, but an anti-matter spoon]
[Yep Of course In terms of time alone, the Celestial Realest out of the families Do you seriously think your family hasn’t accued the ain special privileges
‘I get it now’
Chi-Woo suddenly felt a new sense of pride that everything he had done since co, it was accu, I know you have the ability to cultivate seven stars that will shi+ne on Liber This ability could be said to be limitless, and as your stars accumulate merits, your contribution to their achieveed
Chi-Woo let out an impressed scream ‘Oh, Oh!’ This meant if he raised a hero well, he would be able to accu later on And what if he had raised not one, but all seven stars well, and they acted on their heroic duty throughout Liber? He would be sweeping
‘Haha Wohat a goodie~ That’s some delicious infore in your way of speaking?
‘Ah, sorry I was just too happy and forgot ht of having such a secure retirement plan Then a new idea suddenly came to his head
‘Wait a eas there is a God?’
—Yes, are you finally getting it now?’
‘How et? Take the time Ru Ah for four people to get chosen
‘Four people Four?’ Chi-Woo crossed his arht deeply
—How is it? Are you finally ready to make the decision?
‘Me?’ He wanted to; he really did But after his conversation with Shahnaz, he realized that choosing a God was a very, very ih God to be with…I’o out of your way to choose me, but…
Shahnazain’ Another sudden thought came to Chi-Woo at thisaway As Chi-Woo’s figure became more distant, Shahnaz licked her lips in disappointment Finally, she burst out in frustration like she couldn’t keep her feelings contained any longer
—Why are most heroes so dense?!
The next day, Chi-Woo left ho his run, he washed, ate, and walked around the fortress While he wandered around, he watched other heroes with his spirit eye active Ever since this ability evolved, Chi-Woo was able to read other people’s user information and access all the details
‘This is fun’ Reading other people’s inforht it would be, and tiht to abuse the spirit eye]
[But since I know for what reason you’re using it, I’ll stop bothering you You should be careful to not gain a special characteristic as a peeper, though]
Mimi blabbered on as Chi-Woo watched And two days later, Chi-Woo found sooal

‘Oh!’ It had been hile wandering around the fortress for two days Luckily, it was someone Chi-Woo had talked to before
‘He’s still at 0 stars, and his potential is 2 stars’
[Since his powers haven’t awakened yet, of course, he is at 0 stars Furthermore, let me remind you that 2-star heroes are not common…I hope you don’t think it’s a low rank]
‘Yes, yes, of course’ Chi-Woo reh two stars weren’t particularly rare, there were many heroes in that rank ere quite useful Additionally, 2-star heroes could rival or even beat 3-star heroes under the right circumstances
[Ru Amuh is the exception of all exceptions, who could be considered top tier even aet about that]
‘I don’t have high standards Don’t worry,’ Chi-Woo gru hiht away, but Allen inging his sword ardently like he did every day
‘He really is a hard worker’ Chi-Woo was i hard every time he came out to run in the afternoon
“Huff! Huff!” Allen stopped swinging his sword and wiped his sith the shi+rt he had taken off beforehand Then he saw Chi-Woo sitting quietly in front of hi for me?”
“Yes”
“You should have interrupted me”
“But you were so focused”
Allen sratitude, and Chi-Woo sh and through, but after spending entle side to thisnothing but swinging your sword day and night”
“Hm? Ah, yes, it’s because I’m not familiar with a sword”
Chi-Woo was actually aware of this fact, but since he couldn’t let that on, he pretended to be surprised
“Because of the situation on Liber, I realized the necessity of tools and took up a sword But I really can’t see outside with the others?”
“It would be less for ed and said “I heard Ru Ae, but he’s only one person Since he’s apparently been taking turns in helping people, I’ to wait until it’s my turn” Allen replied indifferently and took a seat beside Chi-Woo “So, is that what you wanted to ask me about?”
