628 – Divine Power (2)
According to Luminus’ explanation, the essence of divine power is ‘time’.
A believer spends time in prayer, and the time consumed is converted into a kind of energy and delivered to the gods.
In other words, divine power is a power that helps believers use ‘time’ indirectly.
[If you look at healing, it increases the natural resilience. Instead, it depends on the user’s ability to recover which part.]
‘For example?’
[There is a situation where an arm is amputated. Most priests are only at the level of hemostasis, but if they have excellent skills, they can join the amputation. This is the reason why priests basically learn medicine.]
As I said before, the temple also serves as a hospital, and the priest has extensive knowledge in medicine.
As Luminus said, almost nothing can be solved by blindly pouring divine power into it. You have to decide where to treat and where to fix.
After hearing that, I nodded for a while, and as soon as I heard the word medicine, I felt something come crashing down.
‘So, then you’re saying I have to learn medicine too?’
Luminus’ words mean that if you don’t learn medicine properly, divine power is meaningless.

No matter how much medicine in the Middle Ages, medicine is medicine. It is famous for being insanely difficult.
Of course, sometimes there are quack-like witch doctors, but it can’t be helped due to the limitations of the times.
[If you want to learn, you can learn. You don’t have to learn As I said before, the most important thing is how to transmit divine power, not how to use it.]
‘Whew… That’s a relief.’
[Then let’s continue the explanation. There are various ways to fully convey your divine power. Among them, the most primitive and easiest way is s*xual intercourse.]
‘··· ···’
I’m still working hard. I blinked my eyes when I heard that.
Something feels strange when the word s*xual intercourse comes out of God’s mouth. But since I said it seriously, I can’t tackle it.
[Honestly, that act alone is enough, but I have to think of other ways just in case. That method is ‘holy water’. It might be the easiest way for you, who are overflowing with divine power.]
‘Holy Wednesday? The holy water poured out at baptism?’
[That’s right. Didn’t Mora tell you before? The more water you drink, the better.]
Listen to hear. Water is the source and starting point of life itself.
Life cannot acquire the ability to live just by the existence of water.
The reason why Mora advised to drink water often must have been because it is a substance that is responsible for the basis of energy.
[It’s the same principle as that. If s*xual intercourse can transmit primordial energy, holy water uses the characteristics of water to spread throughout the body. It would be better to use both.]
‘Are you telling me how to make holy water?’
[Yes, but it will be difficult at first. You have to go step by step First of all, from changing water in a small cup to holy water, to turning it into holy water only with holy power.]
‘What’s the difference?’
I don’t think there’s much difference just by listening. Turning water into holy water and turning holy power into holy water.
Aren’t they both water no matter what? I get a little puzzled.
[You can think of it as the difference between orange juice made from all kinds of orange juice and orange juice made by squeezing oranges.]
‘Aha.’
Once you explain it like that, you can understand it at once. Rather, it made me wonder if I was an asshole.
The thicker the undiluted solution, the higher the quality of holy water. According to Luminous, it is difficult even for Kate to make holy water with divine power.
On the other hand, I have much more divine power than him, and it would be easy to produce (?) Myself. Besides, they said they would help.
‘It looks like you have a lot of work.’
[Hmm. Hmm.]
Undeniable Luminous. From their point of view, the number of employees must increase to make work easier, so their eyes would have returned.
It’s not a bad condition for me either, so I have no choice but to listen. If you look at the way the world goes, divinity can only be perfected.
‘What are the benefits of holy water? Just drinking it will turn it into energy, but what if you put it on your skin or use it for other purposes?’
[Nothing will happen. What did you think would happen if you applied it to your skin?]
‘If you just apply it on your hair, your hair will grow well? My hair is fixed as long hair.’

Now, no matter how much you cut it, it will be restored the next day. I wonder if this is also related to divinity.
Maybe Mora messed with my genes when she played her pranks, but now I don’t really want to change them, so I’m just neglecting them.
[It’s Mora’s joke that her hair stays long. There is no gene that causes hair loss, so all you have to do is apply divine power.]
‘Then is the divine power poisonous to those with the hair loss gene?’
[You just need to speed up the hair growth. If the rate of hair loss is slower than the rate of growth, hair will grow.]
‘Oh…’
So, are all the priests free from hair loss? Even on Earth, in all times and places, many great people have tried to prevent hair loss.
Including Roman emperors, philosophers, artists, and more. Many great people prevented hair loss by applying animal dung and urine to their hair.
It was all useless. At least now, the symptoms can be alleviated through medicine, but it is an incurable disease that cannot be ‘cured’.
[Of course, unless you have an abundance of holy power, there will be no meaning. Instead, hair loss caused by disease can be cured.]
‘Are you saying there is no answer to heredity?’
[I don’t know if science advances enough to remove the hair loss gene. I know this is impossible even on Earth.]
There is no answer. It is also an incurable disease that has been around since the birth of civilization.
Still, the fact that hair loss can be alleviated to some extent with divine power is amazing.
Maybe some people still do. I carefully asked about this.
‘Is there anyone who is devout just by making his hair grow?’
[There are surprisingly many. Especially when those children sinned, they made all their hair fall out.]
‘··· ···’
Ah, the devil. The devil is here!
I shuddered at the punishment of a god no less than that of a devil worshiper.
Anyway, holy water made with divine power has no effect unless you drink it.
Since water occupies 70% of our body, and holy water takes its place, we should gradually adapt.
It won’t take long to get used to my divine power if I spend hot nights with my lovers in between.
[Can I ask when you’re going to do it?]
‘I’ll try it today.’
[Then open your eyes.]
As soon as I heard Luminus’ words, I quietly opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, a very familiar white space spread out in front of my eyes.
Looks like this space was created to save a little more time. I don’t care.
“First of all, it would be better to practice raising the divine power.”
“Yes… Huh?”
I noticed something strange while answering naturally. Originally, when I talk to the gods, it feels like the voice echoes in my head.
But not now. Right behind me, I heard the familiar voice of Luminus.
At this, I opened my eyes wide and looked back. What was this?
“······Luminus-sama?”
A handsome man with shiny blonde hair was looking at me. As a man, even to me, he is a very handsome man.
The face of Luminus as described in theology-related books is certain.
“Isn’t this the first time I’ve seen it this way?”
Ruminus spoke softly with a gentle smile. If you look at his tone, he is far from the ‘God of War’ who once destroyed the world.
Yes. Just look at the ‘face’ and ‘tone’. I slowly lowered my gaze down with a blank face.
He’s wearing a comfortable old-fashioned outfit, something you’d see in Greek and Roman mythology.
This means that most of his body was exposed under the fluttering clothes.
“Uh… Yes.”
I nodded with a puzzled expression. I keep looking at the face and body alternately.
The face is clean without a single small scar, but from the neck down, it’s amazing in many ways.
First of all, the body. First of all, he is so tall that I have to raise my head slightly.
Even my father is not taller than 190cm, but Luminous is far above that.
The second is the physique. He may have a small face, but his shoulders are really wide. The trapezius muscles in particular are no joke.
What about muscles? It seems that even if the craftsman puts his heart and soul into it, he will not be able to sculpt that muscle. Even from a stone statue, it’s not like that.
Finally scars. As a god of war, he must have walked through various battlefields, and it is normal for him to have many scars.
However, there are almost no scars except for the abdomen, where there is a strong trace of penetration. I go sometimes and have a few on my arm.
“······Luminus-sama?”
“Why are you calling?”
You really are Luminous. I was bewildered by his appearance, which conveyed a sense of awe and sublimity just by looking at him.
When she faced Mora directly, she felt like an immature goddess, but what about Luminous?
“I will never mess with you again.”
All I could think was that if I got caught up in it, I would die.
Luminous smiled softly at my sincere and sincere words and then quietly spoke.
“Yes. Let’s do it well.”
It seems that you have seen the future that I will be fooled by.
