And among these, the most concentrated area bathed in the divine glory of knowledge was undoubtedly the Church of Literature and Knowledge where Kael currently resided.
Even within the Church of Literature and Knowledge, there were differences in the divine favor of knowledge one could enjoy. The most intense, naturally, were the group of popes, Cardinals, and the two individuals, Kael and Elanna, who were now sitting in the central garden.
The overly abundant power of the divine right of knowledge surged into Kael and Elanna, rising significantly in an instant, especially for Kael, whose aura of divine knowledge almost rivaled the pope's.
Consequentially, Elanna's radiance began to catch up with that of the surrounding Cardinals.
Both felt as if their souls had montarily left their bodies under the influence of this power.
No... It was due to the influence of this force that the compatible aspects of their powers seed to enter a state of sudden enlightennt, beginning to support and strengthen each other.
No, that's not right... Kael hazily perceived that this sensation, this unrestricted exchange and blend of knowledge, was not just sowhat like the state of enlightennt unlocked with General Experience Points by the System, but almost exactly the sa.
In a daze, he seed to see part of Elanna's mories, scenes of her being instructed by her teacher, Olivia.
Contrary to the Olivia who rely sparred physically with Kael, Olivia employed Sword Skills when teaching Elanna.
Gorgeous as moonlit flowing water, the Sword Skills in Olivia's hands revealed astonishing beauty and power, and amidst the fluid movents, that scene gradually distorted.
Eventually, Olivia's figure disappeared, replaced by Elanna, who wore a light gauzy dress and wielded a Western Sword. Amidst her fluttering dress and the ethereal allure, she unleashed a tempest of sword strikes.
That suprely beautiful, dance-like sword dance reflected in Kael's eyes, becoming the most beautiful scenery in his heart.
However, what Kael failed to notice was that as he gazed at Elanna, imrsed in the splendid display of his fiancée's sword dance, the divine power of knowledge enveloping him seed to be fully triggered.
In an instant, a visible portion of the Faith Fire burning fiercely on the statue of Dinel outside was cleaved off and rged into Kael's body.
In that mont, a terrifying presence descended upon the Church. The congregation, who had just completed receiving their deity's blessings, suddenly opened their eyes and looked towards Kael, who continued to draw in the Faith Fire fueled by Divine guidance, shining as brightly as the sun in their gaze.
"Child, do not fear," murmured a gentle voice in Kael's haze.
The surrounding worshipers instantly stood up and bowed on bended knee.
When Kael opened his eyes, his vacant stare had shifted from the color of dazzling stars to a dark golden hue, shedding awe-inspiring divine might.
The pope and the rest of the congregation felt their hearts race uncontrollably.
Because they had co to understand what was happening.
Their revered deity, the God of Literature and Knowledge, Dinel, had descended.
The Dinel that had descended upon Kael slightly lifted his head to look at the sky and said with a smile, "Be at ease, I am fond of this child and am now aiding him."
As He finished speaking, the high-ranking mbers of the Church turned to the sky in shock and anger, only to discover a cold, indifferent lion's head that only those with strong Spiritual Power could see.
That lion's head almost entirely eclipsed the Royal Capital, gazing down upon the mortal realm with an icy and rciless look.
"Lion Heart... So you have beco this strong," murmured the pope, slightly lowering his head.
This beast, its power now seed capable of completely threatening him even after he had received the deity's blessing.
Yes, the Pope wasn't speaking of himself before the divine gift, but rather post receiving his divine reward for his substantial achievents, when his strength had greatly increased.
Nevertheless, the Pope of the Church of the God of Literature and Knowledge distinctly rembered that even over a hundred years ago, even without the divine gift, he was capable of suppressing the lion.
But now, it seed that without the blessing, he had been completely overpowered by that lion.
At this thought, a shiver ran through him.
If the lion had grown to such an extent, then what heights had Caesar, known as "Federation Governor" in writing and "The Strongest Human" in reading, reached?
He dared not think further.
Yet monts later, he looked at Kael with a complex gaze.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness... Thanks to this good child, the Church of the God of Literature and Knowledge will now have an ally relationship with the Yibel Federation."
At this thought, a sense of... relief arose in his heart?
Yes, it was relief.
Thankfully the Yibel Federation could no longer possibly beco our enemy.
With this thought, a kind smile appeared on the Pope's face.
That's right, all of this is within the foresight of my God; it is the correct path.
anwhile, Dinel, who had temporarily inhabited Kael's body, had finished bestowing his reward and was ready to depart.
As he was about to leave Kael's body, He seed to rember sothing, "Since I'm here... giving you a bit more help shouldn't be a problem."
No sooner had He spoken than a scroll quietly unfurled from Kael's space equipnt. Dinel's Divine Power was imdiately channeled into the scroll, permanently altering its properties. The divine Runes that represented the essence of Dinel's power were etched upon it.
Before long, the scroll flickered, and then everything returned to tranquility. Dinel turned to look at his believers, his face showing a gentle expression as he smiled and said:
"Let us encourage each other and climb the endless path of knowledge together."
With that, Dinel departed from Kael's body, returning to the realm of the gods.
Today, the lesser deity Dinel, the God of Literature, vanished.
In his place stood — the mid-level deity, the God of Literature and Knowledge Dinel, officially stepping onto the stage of history!
