It"s noteworthy that these updates reflected Eren"s ability to channel Origin Force Points within a limited radius, suggesting that the numbers would have escalated exponentially if he could tap into Origin Force points throughout all of Labh Salem.
"Hahahaha," Eren hid his face in both his hands as he laughed loudly to his heart"s content. Only now did he understand why G.o.d Aleph was feared by his fellow Immortals. It was because of his abominated divinity that empowered him constantly no matter what he did.
"This… this is awesome, My plan worked it seems. Better than I expected, I must say," Eren ran his fingers through his hair as he said out loud.
"I see that there are a lot of followers of the divine faction who are p.i.s.sed at me for what I said. There are even demonic ent.i.ties inside the city who want to hunt me down for what I have done to undermine the Faustian Contracts.
This is good. This is really good. The more they harbor these feelings towards me, the more they help me." the butcher thought to himself and smiled. He knew that his trick would work. But the response he was receiving from just the citizens of Demondeath was overwhelming, to say the least. Plus, most citizens of the Demondeath weren"t faith-fanatic to begin with considering the fact that the city promoted neutrality to a large extent.
Eren was sure that he would receive more Origin Force Points from the faith-centric regions found in Labh Salem, especially the societies established around divine temples or demonic altars.
He also realized why the G.o.ds created sacred grounds and the demons created demonic altars in the worlds they wanted to grow their influence in. and why they wanted to create multiple incarnations of themselves which they would send to multiple worlds found in the boundless cosmos where civilizations thrived.
The sacred grounds, altars, incarnations, statues, etc. served as the Immortals" proxy within the respective worlds as they nurtured their followers. These proxies helped them generate Origin Force even though they were not present in those worlds in a literal sense.
Eren was reminded of his time in Anfang. He remembered Beelzebub"s demonic altar, the altar of a monster G.o.d in Oni Dungeon, and Great Mother"s sacred grounds as well as her giant statue. He remembered how she had to descend to Anfang to collect the Origin Force acc.u.mulated within her own statue.
"Hm. I think Anfang was an isolated case," Eren contemplated as he thought of his past experiences deeply.
"It is isolated because it doesn"t have the Mesh. I"m sure it would be a lot easier for the G.o.ds and demons to nurture their followers and influence the population in the worlds that have the Mesh.
In most cases, these Immortals wouldn"t even have to descend into the worlds of their followers. The Mesh would allow them to interact with their followers easily.
They could just offer their Blessings and keep their followers working for them endlessly while consistently acc.u.mulating the Origin Force," Eren concluded.
"Hm. Is it possible for me to use the White Raven Colosseum as my own sacred ground? Is the statue created in my name acc.u.mulating Origin Force as the people visit that place over and over again?" Eren had another thought. He was sure that his hypothesis was right. He just didn"t have the luxury to check.
"I just hope the Divine Isolation Array breaks as soon as possible and the Mesh reaches Anfang. So that I can collect the Origin Force acc.u.mulated in my homeworld. I bet the acc.u.mulation there will be significant considering the state I have left it in."
Eren"s ident.i.ty was well established in Anfang as someone who had caused the Great Shattering. As long as his subordinates kept the White Raven City alive, the butcher did not doubt in his mind that the negative emotions directed towards him or because of him would be much more potent in comparison.
"Then there"s this other thing. I"ve thrown shade at those G.o.ds, but I haven"t yet eroded their authority," Eren mused aloud.
"Not exactly. However, the impact of the Tools of Liberation on demonic cults will be far more profound. Except the cults tied to Beelzebub, the others will come after me with even greater fervor than their divine counterparts. So, I need to create fake trails," Eren concluded, rubbing his jawline in thought.
Roza Thaglas sought clarity, awaiting Eren"s instructions. "What should we do, my liege?" she inquired.
"Hmm?" Eren glanced at Roza, shaking his head before responding casually.
"Don"t fret. For now, I"ll handle these issues. It was inevitable since the moment I decided to hunt demons and employ them as cannon fodder for my growth.
It"s just that their followers will suffer due to their affiliations. But you shouldn"t be focused on these matters. Your task is simple," he directed at Kayara.
"Seriously?" Kayara exclaimed in shock, realizing the implications of Eren"s gaze. "I thought you were joking about making me learn farming," she said, looking at Eren as if she"d fallen for a prank.
"You thought wrong, my dear. I never joke when it comes to my endeavors," Eren retorted in a serious voice, shaking his head.
"Why do you think I leased a place with a s.p.a.cious backyard? Bring Roza along if you need a.s.sistance. I expect a bountiful harvest from both of you within a week," he added, handing Kayara a vial containing Stellar Sativa seeds. Additionally, he provided Roza with alchemy scrolls, crafted through his spells Age Expedite and Age Reverse, to expedite the farming process.
"Alright. Chop. Chop. Let"s get down to business," Eren commanded, clapping his hands, then turned towards the exit of the house.
"Reen, you come with me. Today we will pa.s.s the final selection round and officially join the Kaaysaayan Demon Slayer Corps," he informed Reen without looking back.
"Hehe, sure thing," responded Reen, vanis.h.i.+ng from her spot as she melded with Eren, leaving no trace of her presence behind.
