Aqua gave Shiraishi Kawa the impression of an abstract, grotesque, and comical woman. Even with her divinity unleashed, her fundamental personality was hard to change.
He felt that Doma hadn't been dealt with cleanly and decisively.
He hadn't changed the prejudices of other members in the Dimensional Chat Group against him, and he even thought about helping Doma win the resurrection match, which was a bit absurd.
Although Shiraishi Kawa had the grand ambition of opening a Crystal Palace across all the heavens and dimensions, as soon as he imagined Aqua, his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Don't carry it, is a fool also a fool?
"It's about time to go back."
He cast his gaze towards Kanae Kocho and her younger sister, Kochou Shinobu. The gentle and kind older sister now wore a smile on her tired face.
She was a very gentle older sister.
As for Kanae Kocho's younger sister, Kochou Shinobu, the Master of the Butterfly Mansion in the Dimensional Chat Group, due to her exposure to the myriad dimensions.
She no longer had her usual fiery temper.
"Senior, are you also preparing to leave?" Although she didn't know Shiraishi Kawa's name, for helping her and her sister escape danger.
To Kanae Kocho, he was definitely a lifesaver.
Especially the sight of Aqua vanishing into thin air just now, which brought her immense shock. Shinobu must know their identities.
"May we meet again."
After all, with the Dimensional Chat Group, it's easy to come to the Demon Slayer World. It's estimated that there are only demons here, and killing them can earn experience points.
Spending points to set an anchor here.
It's a pure waste. Whether it's the Apocalypse World with zombie outbreaks or the Goblin Slayer World teeming with Goblins, upgrading professional levels is very fast.
Shiraishi Kawa glanced at the butterfly sisters, each with their distinct personalities, and smiled, reminding them, "If you're really going on a mission, I suggest you go together."
"Mhm."
Kochou Shinobu nodded seriously. With the Dimensional Chat Group's group rescue function, most dangers could be avoided. She just looked at Shiraishi Kawa carefully.
It was very troublesome for the other party.
Even though completing the rescue mission came with point rewards, she really didn't have anything valuable to offer to thank Shiraishi Kawa at the moment.
"Thank you, Shiraishi Kawa-sama."
"..."
Watching Shiraishi Kawa's figure leave, Kochou Shinobu felt a little empty. But as soon as she turned around, she saw her sister's serious face.
Perhaps she was curious about the identities of Shiraishi Kawa and Aqua?
She quickly explained, "I only got to know them recently. They are all powerful individuals from other worlds... Today, I almost had an accident."
"They specifically came to save me."
However.
Kanae Kocho didn't mention anything about the Dimensional Chat Group. Her serious gaze held a hint of tenderness as she reached out and stroked her sister's head.
"Shinobu, do you know why I wanted you to leave the Demon Slayer Corps? It's because I hoped you could find the happiness of an Ordinary High School Student and live out your life."
"I seem to have discovered..."
"You seem quite interested in this Senior Shiraishi Kawa?"
Listening to her sister Kanae's words, especially when her deeply hidden thoughts were touched upon, Kochou Shinobu quickly shook her head, but the blush on her cheeks.
Already said it all.
Leaving the Demon Slayer World, he had no immediate plans to use the points he gained. Shiraishi Kawa wasn't interested in the so-called basic physical enhancement.
Relying on the Mana Tempering skill effect.
He wasn't worried about his overall physical condition. If there weren't any particularly worthwhile worlds to visit, accumulating 500 points to exchange for a blind box.
Being a gambler for a while wouldn't be bad either.
"So, what on earth is this new profession of mine?"
Back in the living room.
Shiraishi Kawa, finally completely at leisure, decisively opened his proficiency panel. He had maxed out the Archmage profession in the Apocalypse World.
The blank panel that opened.
When he encountered Aqua, who had unleashed her divinity, a new profession panel unexpectedly opened, but this time the profession panel was slightly different.
Deity.
It was a particularly vague professional summary.
After all, Aqua's divine position is Goddess of Water, and her abilities are in the water and Purification aspects. How strong her performance is.
He hasn't seen Aqua at her peak.
Shiraishi Kawa couldn't say either.
According to the setting book, all the water in the world is her Dependents, so as long as she summons, she will directly create a flood-level holy water from the sky.
Indiscriminate attack on both friend and foe.
"So what exactly does this new profession panel of mine do?"
With doubts in mind.
Shiraishi Kawa decisively opened the profession panel.
Profession 5: Deity (Cannot be upgraded)
Divinity: Pleasure
Talent Skill: Divine Blessing
Talent Skill: Elysium
Talent Skill: Slaanesh's Divine Authority
Talent Skill: Power of Faith
Basic Skills: Divine Authority Bestowal (Lv1), Faith Extraction (Lv1), Blessing! Attribute Boost (Lv1), Blessing! Luck Boost (Lv1)... Note: The current profession cannot be upgraded. After collecting 10 Hedonistic Chosen, a new profession panel will be unlocked.
"No, what the hell is this profession?"
Shiraishi Kawa carefully examined the brand new profession panel. The so-called Hedonistic Divinity made him unable to hold back. What kind of strange thing was this?
Aqua's divinity is probably water.
But... when it came to him, it became Pleasure. Just looking at this attribute alone, the complaints were already maxed out. What kind of thing is called Pleasure? He's a decent person!
However, as he browsed other skills, Shiraishi Kawa felt increasingly uneasy.
— Divine Blessing: Each time you level up, the attribute values you gain will increase slightly, including other attribute growth channels.
— Elysium: After divine power is unleashed, it will apply an Elysium effect to surrounding creatures.
— Slaanesh's Divine Authority: As the God of Pleasure, you possess supreme Slaanesh's Divine Authority, immune to charm-type skill effects.
— Power of Faith: As a deity, the more Followers you have, the stronger you become.
"?"
As an unupgradable Deity profession.
Having more talent skills is quite reasonable, but Shiraishi Kawa always felt something was off about the detailed descriptions. What does it mean to apply an Elysium effect?
Open impaty?
Possessing the supreme Slaanesh's Divine Authority, isn't this literally the impaty leader!
As for the Power of Faith.
With Aqua as a reference, it's essentially following the path of becoming a deity through incense and offerings. The more Hedonistic Chosen Followers he has, the stronger he becomes.
"Isn't the effect of this talent skill a bit abstract?"
After browsing all the detailed talent effects, Shiraishi Kawa's mood was a bit hard to contain. This kind of plot development was simply too off!
As for the skills.
Divine Authority Bestowal: Can actively bestow the mark of a deity upon others, and Hedonistic Chosen blessed with the mark will receive a slight increase in attributes.
What concerned Shiraishi Kawa the most was that Divine Authority Bestowal was the basic skill of a deity's profession, which, simply put, meant recruiting core Followers.
Bestowing abilities upon them.
To unlock a new profession panel, he must use this basic skill to find 10 Chosen who are willing to offer their hearts.
"The upgrade conditions aren't too harsh."
In the Apocalypse World, there are currently 4 targets for Divine Authority Bestowal, and Miura Yumiko in the real world can barely be counted. As for urban legends...
It's unclear if Mary or Hanako can be bestowed with this status.
Clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, since there aren't many professions to choose from right now, picking divine Followers can be postponed for a bit.
"I'll try if the urban legends can succeed, then go to the Apocalypse World to help Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka become Chosen. That way, safety issues can also be resolved."
After all, there are dead bodies everywhere.
Busujima Saeko, who had just joined the group not long ago, hadn't seen an effective increase in her strength, so he had already planned out tomorrow's schedule.
As for Miura Yumiko...
Shiraishi Kawa hadn't yet decided how to tell her about this. Placing the staff by the door, he returned to the master bedroom.
The young girl was still sleeping.
However...
As he gradually approached and his gaze focused on Miura Yumiko's fair face, he could clearly feel her eyelashes tremble slightly.
"Yumiko, you're not asleep, are you?"
"..."
Bluntly exposed, Miura Yumiko slowly opened her eyes, nodded gently, endured the subtle pain in her body, and propped herself up with her hands.
She somewhat dared not look Shiraishi Kawa directly in the eye.
She had indeed been sleeping very comfortably, but at that time, she was holding Shiraishi Kawa's arm, and subconsciously sensed Shiraishi Kawa's departure.
She quickly woke up from her sleep.
Miura Yumiko wanted to continue sleeping, but she couldn't, no matter what. She got up and tried to find Shiraishi Kawa in the large apartment.
But to no avail.
Just a moment ago, she hadn't heard the sound of the anti-theft door opening. As Shiraishi Kawa's footsteps gradually approached, the bedroom door opened.
This kind of thing, beyond her comprehension, could only be regarded as Shiraishi Kawa's secret.
"..."
Turning on the room light casually, Miura Yumiko felt a bit uneasy. Her gaze fell on Shiraishi Kawa's handsome face, and she began to suspect.
"Shiraishi-kun, you wouldn't happen to be... an evil spirit too, would you?!"
"Ah?"
It was probably when he traveled back and forth to the Demon Slayer World, choosing to do so in the living room, that Miura Yumiko, who didn't sleep well, noticed something amiss.
She had a rough guess in her heart.
Even when she gave him the evaluation of an evil spirit, Shiraishi Kawa smiled and shook his head, saying in a relaxed tone, "Do you want me to tell you?"
"No."
Miura Yumiko shook her head decisively, inexplicably recalling the police and gangster movies she had watched recently, knowing that the more one knew, the closer death was.
Even if she was really curious.
She knew she had to hold back.
"Actually, the whole thing is quite simple. I just went to other worlds to deal with some matters, and my identity isn't an evil spirit either."
Whether Miura Yumiko listened or not was her business.
And whether to tell her or not depended purely on Shiraishi Kawa's mood. He had originally wanted to use the basic skill of the deity profession, Divine Authority Bestowal, to make her a Follower.
Now there was a good opportunity before him.
"Yumiko, besides being a student and an Exorcist, if you're willing to call me a deity, I actually don't mind."
He was currently in the initial stage.
Who stipulated that a novice deity wasn't a deity?
"Go... to other worlds to deal with things, and then you have another identity as a deity!"
Unable to accept the vast amount of information in a short time, Miura Yumiko's brows furrowed slightly, making her feel as if her brain was growing.
She struggled to digest it.
Still couldn't figure it out.
However, what she cared about the most finally didn't happen, because she feared ghosts and monsters, so dedicating her body and soul to an evil spirit was hard to accept.
"Lord Deity, please rest!"
"..."
Miura Yumiko's attitude made Shiraishi Kawa somewhat surprised. He carefully looked at her beautiful young face: "Aren't you curious?"
"Curious."
"But I think there will be plenty of time to learn more later, right?"
Wearing Shiraishi Kawa's loose casual clothes, Miura Yumiko didn't continue lying on the bed. After getting up, her smooth, fair legs stepped on the floor.
She fumbled her way to the living room.
She poured water for Shiraishi Kawa in a cup, but the pain in her body from her steps made her long, beautiful eyebrows furrow slightly.
"I'm telling you this mainly because there are other matters."
Taking the water glass from Miura Yumiko's hand, the tsundere high school girl also had a gentle side. Shiraishi Kawa didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"Yumiko, are you interested in becoming a God Chosen?"
"God Chosen?"
Having no concept of a God Chosen, but since Shiraishi Kawa was willing to offer it to her, Miura Yumiko nodded.
She blinked and said, "Okay."
"What kind of changes can becoming a God Chosen bring?"
"The opportunity to break through human physical limits and become a superhuman. As your life level increases, ghosts and monsters will be unable to harm you."
Yurikawa Hana had a particularly good physique and could ignore ghosts and monsters.
Logically speaking, becoming a God Chosen could help Miura Yumiko raise her life level, moving from an ordinary person to a transcendent. Ignoring ghosts and monsters should be very easy.
Shiraishi Kawa's gaze fell on the blonde beauty in front of him, and he added calmly, "If you truly become a God Chosen, it also means..."
"Your body and soul will belong to me."
"Am I not already...?"
Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes helplessly. If becoming a God Chosen gave her supernatural abilities, allowing her to fearlessly resist the intrusions of ghosts and monsters, it would indeed be quite good.
As for superhumans, she had no concept. Even encountering ghosts and then becoming Shiraishi Kawa's woman were things that happened in a short time.
"Someone chosen by a deity shouldn't be abandoned, right?"
"..."
Ignoring the hint of resentment in the girl's tone, Shiraishi Kawa decisively activated the Divine Authority Bestowal skill he had just mastered. The principle was actually very simple.
It was to imprint divinity into Miura Yumiko's body.
As the skill continued to activate, the originally calm aura gradually deepened, and pink light continuously condensed in his palm.
"Is this... the power of a deity?"
Miura Yumiko's eyes were full of disbelief as she watched the pink light cluster finally condense in Shiraishi Kawa's palm. A sweet scent filled the room.
It made her blush.
However, considering that this was a necessary process to become a God Chosen, she subconsciously tightened her legs, her heart filled with anticipation.
"..."
Holy light, though it was pink.
Shiraishi Kawa calmly lifted the loose T-shirt Miura Yumiko was wearing and aimed the light cluster, which condensed Hedonistic divinity, at her abdomen.
It gradually merged into her body.
"...Hiss!"
As the supreme divinity was gradually absorbed by her body, Miura Yumiko felt a tingling sensation all over, and the pain in her body instantly vanished.
It was as if she had undergone a complete transformation.
She could clearly feel her physical fitness comprehensively strengthening, but there was no excitement in her eyes. Instead, she pinched the muscles of her body with her hand.
After confirming there was no increase in muscle mass.
Miura Yumiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was very satisfied with her figure. When she got up and prepared to move her body a bit, the most intuitive feeling... the most intuitive comparison was that she used to just barely finish the 800-meter physical test on time, but now she felt she could at least finish half a minute earlier.
As for what kind of superpower she had mastered...
She hadn't discovered it yet.
The physical pain disappeared, replaced by an incredibly vast Energy. The girl jumped from the bed to the floor, feeling the increased gravitational pull on her chest.
"..."
"Try it, is there a change?"
Miura Yumiko blinked, happily grabbing Shiraishi Kawa's hand and reaching for his crotch, which gave her a tingling, numb sensation like an electric shock.
It was the feeling this guy had made her experience.
She didn't shy away from Shiraishi Kawa being there and lifted her casual loose T-shirt. Her originally fair and flawless abdomen, upon becoming a God Chosen...
A dark purple butterfly pattern was extremely conspicuous, exuding an eerie yet pure divine aura.
"This..."
"Shiraishi-kun, what exactly is going on?"
Miura Yumiko must have encountered such novels or readings, just like the illustrations in certain adult content. Now this thing appeared on her body.
Her face was strange.
"Would you believe me if I said this is the Divine Authority Seal of a God Chosen?"
Forcing back a twitch in his mouth, Shiraishi Kawa calmly explained, the perverted deity persona now seemed impossible to wash clean.
Currently has 1 Hedonistic Chosen, overall attributes increased by 10%!
