Chapter 949: Chapter 942 Danger
Deification—this is sothing utterly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Whether it’s symbolic deification or actual deification, neither is within the grasp or comprehension of the average person.
Misumi Mikoto knew that Chen Yu was a Demigod. Even after becoming a Necromancer herself, she had harbored dreams of deification. But she felt this was sothing too far removed, both from her and from her teacher.
Although Chen Yu, in so sense, wasn’t too different from deities, through her study of necromancy, Misumi Mikoto clearly understood the vast chasm that existed between Demigods and True Gods.
So, even though Chen Yu could easily summon Demigod-level Ship-girls and had given her two, she never thought her teacher could truly ascend to the level of deification.
As for herself, while she had entertained such fantasies, deification was not part of the plans Misumi Mikoto had set for her future.
Even though she was now a Legendary-rank existence, her goal was simply to spend the next decade or two slowly accumulating power, solidifying her foundation, and enhancing her strength as a Necromancer. Only after that would she consider pursuing a breakthrough to Demigod-level.
As for deification, in Misumi Mikoto’s mind, that was sothing to think about at least a hundred years into the future.
Don’t think of this tiline as slow. In truth, the developnt pace of both Chen Yu and Misumi Mikoto after becoming Necromancers was far from the norm. And as for Jounouchi Hiromi? There was no comparison to be made.
Under normal circumstances, even if soone received a Necromancer’s inheritance without prior knowledge, it would still take years to learn the basics and foundational principles.
Because Earth has advanced dical research on human anatomy, much of this knowledge is accessible to everyone, making things appear relatively manageable.
But what if soone living in the ignorance of the Middle Ages or the steam era received a necromantic inheritance?
Even disregarding how long it would take for them to learn the basics, rely procuring cadavers to validate their learning would be an exceedingly troubleso task—one false move, and they’d be branded as an evil Wizard and hunted down.
Even in modern society, such things would hardly be different—unless one worked in a field related to dicine, like Chen Yu and his peers. Otherwise, accessing cadavers would actually be harder than it was in ancient tis.
In reality, the path to growth for a Necromancer is incredibly long. It might take decades of hiding away in so secluded place, living every day among corpses, to finally reach the level of a full-fledged Necromancer and surpass Legendary rank.
To reach Chen Yu’s current level as a Necromancer, following the traditional path, could take centuries or more.
But because Chen Yu received both systematic and professional dical education and had a deep understanding of human anatomy, his study of necromancy was naturally much more efficient. Combined with his access to both cadavers and living human bodies, it wasn’t surprising that he beca a Necromancer within a few short years.
From there, his growth as a Necromancer depended entirely on fate. Soone like Chen Yu, who encountered so many significant events that allowed him to leap past the Legendary rank and beco a Demigod—such occurrences were one in a million. Let alone the fact that he would soon ascend in a single stroke to beco a Supre God.
So, when Misumi Mikoto learned that Chen Yu was preparing for deification, she was utterly stunned. Her mind went blank as she struggled to process the unimaginable news Chen Yu had shared with her.
“Teacher, you’re planning to ascend to godhood? But this is just too…” Misumi Mikoto was at a loss for words and couldn’t find the right expression. “So how exactly are you planning to do it, Teacher? I’ve read about the Deification Rituals in the Book of Inheritance—they all seem so complicated!”
Although matters surrounding deification are typically secrets that shouldn’t be disclosed, as a teacher, it was only proper for him to guide his disciple. Thus, Chen Yu still explained to Misumi Mikoto: “I don’t plan to use the faith-based path for deification. You should understand, Mikoto, the limitations of faith-based deification.”
“So, I plan to forge an Ancient Godhood by extracting the rules of the world as the foundation for my ascension. It’s just a pity that you don’t have sufficient strength right now. Otherwise, I could have taken you along this ti.”
Chen Yu wasn’t rely being courteous. After all, he was already preparing to forge four Ancient Godhoods in one go this ti. Preparing one for his disciple wouldn’t have been a big deal, especially since Misumi Mikoto’s was not intended to compete for the singular Supre Deity Status.
To Misumi Mikoto, such an opportunity being out of her reach was naturally a profound regret. Even though she was only at the Legendary rank, she understood very well the imnse benefits of deification. Thinking about how her lack of strength had caused her to miss this once-in-a-lifeti chance at becoming a deity, she nearly broke into tears on the spot.
Misumi Mikoto knew that since her teacher had ntioned it, he was entirely sincere. In her understanding, Chen Yu wasn’t soone who made empty promises or told lies. There wasn’t a single thing he had agreed to or promised that he hadn’t fulfilled.
So, if Chen Yu said he could take her along, it ant that if her strength were sufficient, he truly would have taken her with him to ascend to godhood.
What in this world is more painful than anything else? It’s having sothing you desperately desire placed right before your eyes, so close you can almost touch it—only to realize your arms aren’t long enough to reach it.
“Then… can I at least witness your Deification Ritual, Teacher?” Misumi Mikoto asked begrudgingly. Even if she couldn’t ride the coattails of this rare opportunity and ascend together, just witnessing Chen Yu’s deification process would be an invaluable experience for her.
However, Chen Yu shook his head and said, “This Deification Ritual will be extrely dangerous. Without Demigod-level strength, I wouldn’t be able to look after you—so it’s better if you don’t co.”
“Dangerous?” Misumi Mikoto was montarily taken aback. She had so understanding of Deification Rituals. From what Chen Yu described, she’d also seen similar thods in books and hadn’t thought there was any particular danger. Even if extracting the world’s rules provoked resistance from the world’s consciousness, it shouldn’t warrant such a warning about the lack of Demigod-level strength.
Chen Yu didn’t elaborate much in response to Misumi Mikoto’s curiosity. So matters could be discussed, while others could not be disclosed.
Thus, Chen Yu rely shook his head without offering further explanation: “This ti, my Deification Ritual involves so unique circumstances, hence the danger. If you were at the Demigod level, you could co with without issue. But Legendary rank is still a bit too weak.”
“However, there’s no need to feel too dejected. When you reach Demigod-level strength and wish to pursue deification, I can arrange it for you. There’s no need to feel regret over missing this opportunity.”
Though Chen Yu’s reassurances were well-intentioned, Misumi Mikoto still felt as though she’d missed out on sothing absolutely monuntal. But since Chen Yu had spoken, she could only nod and reluctantly agree.
