Chapter 1100: Chapter 633 Doing Business with God_2

He has now obtained the Divine Nature Spark of the Office of the Dead, actively dealing with matters related to the deceased around the world, accumulating faith and connections. As for Shylock, it seems completely oblivious, deceived by Yego. Although Yego now possesses only Feeble Divine Power, it is by his choice. This ancient True God’s influence in matters of the Deceased far exceeds what mortals imagine.

However, for Kranwo to become the true Lord of the Dead, an important intermediary point is needed, which is not within himself, but in Shylock. He himself made a severe mistake, leading to his complete dereliction of duty, with Death and the Deceased’s Godhood being completely stripped from him—otherwise, apart from the God of Gods Ao, no one can forcibly strip a part of the Divine Position from a being of Strong Divine Power.

But since The Year of Upheavals, Ao has once again fallen silent, not responding to any prayers. Not even All Gods know his whereabouts, as if he does not exist at all. However, all gods know that he is there. As long as their children, both mortals and gods, do not dig their own graves with insane actions that would collapse the Toril Plane, he would not intervene in its operations. He knows that by doing so, he would become the greatest danger source to the entire Toril Plane. Last year’s period of upheaval is a clear indication, although the destruction was brought about by gods, the origin lay with him.

"I know," Gaven expressed helplessly, "My Weizemay Manor now has some nature of a Surface God Kingdom, but it lacks the ability to gather faith. To expand and acquire unique Shadow Power, it can only be done through a mass accumulation of souls. If relying solely on my Undead Vengeance Realm, the efficiency is simply too slow. This is the only method."

How could he not know that this is a risky tactic, yet this is the foundation for his rapid development. Without the Dragon Oak Mother Tree or Weizemay Manor, he might still be in Komeer’s Rocklands, laboriously mining with Gnolls for development. Achieving his plans would still be a distant dream.

The more he contacts with True Gods, the more Gaven realizes how slim his chances of success are. Even during The Year of Upheaval, when the operational laws of the Toril Plane changed, mortals’ influence on gods had significantly increased. However, for a mortal body to contend against True Gods, even high-rank Legendary ones, it’s akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, at most matching arms with a Divine Nature Incarnation of Strong Divine Power, let alone standing before their true forms. Probably not even a chance.

Mortals slaying gods have occurred in Felen, but mostly they killed only a Divine Nature Incarnation of those gods, not their actual forms.

Real reasons for the downfall of True Gods mostly lie within themselves. The Undying Goddess of Vengeance is a prime example, destroyed by her own greed, inflicted not by mortals but by a Demon Lord greatly detested by the mortals.

"This time, due to the Divine War initiated by Plunderer Kallargos against me, this matter should be kept under wraps," Lady Strategy revealed her ultimate intent, "Mortals stealing souls is a taboo, but divine intervention is a different matter. Especially since the current Lord of the Dead once tried to attack me during my Ascension, I have the divine right to retaliate. If you agree, I can infuse my plans and Strategy Divinity into this matter to help cover your Undead Divine Spark."

"Once done, the souls siphoned will no longer be solely mine, but need to be shared with the Lady," Gaven used an affirmative sentence, not a question. The generation of divinity is closely linked to souls, there’s no way to involve them without expecting a return.

Though he currently identifies as a Chosen of Lady Strategy, the relationship between them seems more like a coalition bound by mutual interests, not exactly equal. If there are benefits, Gaven would definitely prioritize himself, not like Katherine and others, where everything, both glory and souls, belongs to Lady Strategy.

"Yes, since I’m taking the pressure, bearing the sin of stealing souls, I naturally want a share," the Goddess of Strategy clearly understands this point and knowing this is Gaven’s unique aspect, does not try to use her godly status to pressure him into handing over all souls, nor does she make a greedy demand like the Greedy Dragon with an unfair split.

Seemingly afraid that Gaven might disagree, Lady Strategy added, "And this is not solely my decision, but determined by the divinity infused within it. Your hammer contains only a bit of divine essence; I need to at least infuse a bit of my divinity too. After the soul siphon, it will naturally split half and half based on the divinity inside."

Gaven pondered briefly then made his own offer, "I will add a bit more Undead Divinity into it, one for you and two for me. The manor is my booster for rapid development. The faster I develop, the bigger the situations I stir up, the larger the scale of enemies I can face, and naturally, the more souls I can harvest, but my soldiers, unless they wish to stay in your God Kingdom, you must return them to me."
