Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

1850 True God Sparks vs Faith-based God Sparks vs Faithless God Sparks

"I'll think about it."

Eren responded to the goddess Great Mother's proposal, tactically refusing to commit.

Although he liked the goddess' proposal and thought it feasible for him, he wanted to see what the witch goddess had to say to him.

Only after hearing the other side and weighing the pros and cons of his potential actions would he allow himself to proceed forward.

The goddess Great Mother didn't mind. She also half-expected Eren to respond this way. She was even impressed by him because of how level-headed he was to her proposal.

She was sure that any other demigod in his shoes would have a hard time keeping their cool.

Of course, since she had expected this, the goddess Great Mother hadn't shared the complete coordinates of the blue planet that was housing an Elder Seed Artifact at the time.

The reason she had created the consciousness-pulling formation and gave him partial coordinates was to create intrigue in Eren's mind.

According to the goddess' knowledge, Eren had plenty of time to make up his mind. However, he needed to act at the time of Hvergelmir Springs' appearance. Only after making sure that Eren was in her camp would the goddess Great Mother give him the other half of the coordinates.

After asking the goddess some more questions and getting some valuable information out of her, Eren bid adieu to the goddess Great Mother. He had a lot of things to do.

Plus, he didn't find it too comfortable when the descent of the goddess' Divine Sense attracted too much attention. So he left in a hurry, refusing to indulge in the goddess' hospitality any more than he had to.

The goddess was also busy, not forcing Eren to stay with her. The time of her Divine Sense possession was limited. Simi would regain control of herself in a few days when the goddess' Divine Sense left her body.

As such, the goddess contacted all of her allied organizations and asked them to convene a meeting. Her organization was the leading force in Labh Salem against the demonic faction.

As such, she needed to establish the rules of engagement within the divine faction, profit-sharing margins of the wartime products that would get produced as a joint venture between various forces, and general war strategies.

She needed to wrap up a lot of things before her temporary incarnation exhausted its operational time. As such, she started working as soon as she sent Eren off.

"This trip was totally worth it," Eren thought to himself as he traversed through a dense forest, heading towards a particular city away from the goddess' base of operations.

The goddess had told him a lot of things. He was sure that she did this to make him see her in a favorable light. Even so, Eren appreciated the gesture.

Although she wanted to make use of him to further her own goals, Eren liked her upfront personality and her rebellious attitude towards the other Immortals. She was also not really angry at her ex–clone but sad by the fact that she wouldn't be able to form an abominated divinity even after investing so much in the natal clone creation.

This was why, when the goddess asked for Eren's honest opinion, Eren just told her to give up on creating an abominated divinity. It was not that he didn't think she could pull it off. He told her that she wouldn't be able to wield such a divinity in the first place, no matter how compatible it might feel to her in her head.

Eren told the goddess that a part of the reason why God Aleph sealed his emotions was because he couldn't wield his abominated divinity himself. Although it made him very powerful, it also made him vulnerable to various forms of emotions and made him lose his mind to some extent. So the sealing of emotions was his escape route.

If someone as powerful as God Aleph had problems wielding his abominated divinity, why would the goddess think that she had a better chance of succeeding? Eren couldn't find the answer to this question. And when he asked the same question to the goddess, she could only keep quiet.

In the end, when the goddess asked if he would be able to wield the abominated divinity, Eren just replied with a simple "yes" before bidding adieu to the goddess.

The goddess wanted to ask where Eren got the confidence to succeed where his "God Father" had failed. However, she soon realized that the question itself was wrong. After all, God Aleph wouldn't have allowed Eren to assimilate with his bloodline if he didn't think he was capable enough to succeed where he had failed.

The goddess gave Eren a lot in terms of fresh perspectives.

It was the Goddess Great Mother who had cleared up a lot of his confusion around God Sparks, divinity, and the continuation of the Path after the S-Plus Rank.

He was surprised to find out that the Immortals had a way to create their own God Sparks through Immortal Writs. This was more of a customized God Spark made by the Immortals for their followers, bound to a particular faith.

According to the goddess' description, a God Spark created by the World Will was like a high-grade weapon made inside the top-notch forge, smelted by a master artisan, using premium-

grade products as raw ingredients.

The God Spark produced by a World Will was obviously a sought-after choice for anyone who wanted to become a demigod. It was not something an Immortal would be able to create and mimic no matter how hard they tried.

After all, Immortals were bound by their own Individualities and their Divinities. As such, those aspects were bound to interfere in the process of them creating a God Spark for their followers. The Immortal Writs used in the creation of the faith-based God Sparks would turn their quality much inferior to the God Spark produced by the world's World Will.

This was the reason why Immortals like God Vulcan preferred to manipulate a world's World Will into creating God Sparks for its inhabitants by inciting unrest in the world.

The Immortals could then utilize the God Sparks created by the World Will for their own benefit or offer them to their followers, instantly empowering them.

The God Spark crafted by an Immortal resembled a very specific type of weapon forged within the Immortal Plane of a particular Immortal.

The God Spark crafted by an Immortal resembled a very specific type of weapon forged within the Immortal Plane of a The quality of such a weapon, created within an Immortal's realm, depended on several factors, including their divinity, the extent of faith energy they could gather, the desired type of God Spark, and the follower's ability to harness it.

Immortals had to invest a significant amount of their accumulated Origin Force to forge faith-based God Sparks. They also had to dedicate considerable time and effort to stabilize the God Spark before imbuing it with their faith-based principles.

Therefore, in most cases, they only offered these God Sparks to followers who had reached the end of their Path. This selection process proved beneficial for both Immortals and their followers.

Immortals gained a powerful ally if they selected an S-Plus-

ranked individual to wield their faith-based God Spark. Conversely, S-Plus-ranked individuals who saw no further progress in their Path welcomed the opportunity provided by the Immortals they worshiped.

However, faith-based God Sparks created by Immortals had limitations. They were not as potent as those created by a world's World Will and came with restrictions imposed by the Immortals who crafted them. Plus, accepting these God Sparks meant that they would never be able to hierarchically climb above an Immortal.

Therefore, Practitioners, especially those of S-Plus Rank, would carefully consider before accepting a God Spark from Immortals.

Most S-Plus Rankers would only resort to this option as a last resort when they had reached the end of their lifespan and saw no further path of progression.

Then there was the God Spark created by potential Faithless Celestials, which differed significantly from those crafted by the universal laws of the boundless cosmos or the faith-based God Sparks created by Immortals.

When creating a faithless God Spark, the most crucial consideration was that it had to be done gradually. Additionally, it was not created by a higher being but by the individual who was intended to wield it.

During the creation of a God Spark, a world's Will utilized the universal laws of the boundless cosmos as the canvas and Existential Concepts as the medium to depict a clear image known as a God Spark.

When an Immortal followed the same procedure within their Immortal Plane, they had no choice but to taint it with their Individualities, resulting in a somewhat blurry picture.

However, when a Faithless Celestial embarked on forging their Path entirely on their own, the resulting God Spark they eventually assembled was not predetermined. The quality of the faithless God Spark was solely dependent upon the Practitioner's talent.

Technically speaking, accepting a God Spark forged by a world's Will was akin to receiving a top-notch weapon as a gift from a master artisan.

One didn't need to pay any price, there were no predetermined conditions, and the product received was assured of its quality.

Accepting a God Spark from a faith-based Immortal was like paying for a weapon that would get the job done. This was not a gift but a transaction, and one had to pay a certain price.

When it came to the Faithless Celestial, the whole idea of receiving the weapon as a gift or through a purchase was thrown out of the window.

The Faithless Celestial needed to create the weapon themselves, learning forging techniques, toiling countless hours in the smithy, and smelting the parts in the end to forge a weapon for themselves.

It was akin to a lone person trying to achieve mastery in various fields just to create a single product all by themselves.
