Axel's PoV:
I was currently protecting my teammates from the threats that would enter my barrier.
Since my barrier was only capable of sealing me and my teammates' presence, it was inevitable that there would be monsters that would stumble upon me and my teammates' camp.
I killed plenty of monsters that were lower than level 3,000 so I obtained plenty of meat from their corpses.
I had a lot of monster meat in my system inventory that would last me fifty years as long as I rationed it.
I didn't create a protective barrier but instead, a presence concealment barrier since a protective barrier would release a bit of mana in the surroundings and it would only attract the attention of powerful beings that would pass by in this part of the mountain range.
There were no signs of any of the demon race stepping foot on this part of the forest in the mountain range so my teammates and I should be alright for now.
My mana was at full capacity and I wasn't that tired since Satomi was the one who went all out in fighting against the demon lord of lust.
Satomi hated busty and seductive women so he went all out against Eleanor Rose. If she was a loli, then there would be a high possibility that Satomi was seduced by her.
I released my mana throughout the forest so that I would be able to sense whoever came in contact with my mana.
Of course, beings with no mana wouldn't be sensed by my mana and since the demon lords possessed a lot of mana, then it was impossible that I wouldn't be able to sense the demon lords coming into contact with my mana.
The mana that I had released formed into a dome that had a radius of 10km and I was able to sense the movement of monsters in the 10km radius of my mana.
I stayed patient and sat on the ground while I remained vigilant. I was periodically observing my surroundings through the mana that I had released while taking mental notes of suspicious mana activities within the 10km radius of my mana perception range.
Darkness Systema, how long would I need to wait for the conversation between Alex and the God Of Worldly Systems would end?
"At most 5 minutes. It won't take that long since Alex had already chosen his first wish. Also, it seems that Alex had chosen to upgrade his system since I feel that my other half possessed a similar level to mine."
Darkness Systema replied to my question.
So it meant that Alex Eternalsoul currently possessed a level 4 system skill. His Light System should be as powerful as my Darkness System in terms of level.
I might have a lot of system points compared to Alex since I had completed more system tasks than Alex because I was reincarnated into the World Of Deus much sooner than Alex.
I waited for Alex and my teammates to finish their conversation with their God since I couldn't leave my teammates defenseless. I took the responsibility for protecting them until I could communicate with the God Of Worldly Systems and it was when Alex was done communicating with Systema Kami.
********
Exactly five minutes had passed and as Darkness Systema had expected, Alex and a few of my teammates had awoken from their meditation.
I told my teammates that I would be communicating with my God and also told them to protect the others and me if there were hostile beings.
My teammates including Alex reassured me that they would protect the rest of my teammates and me.
After I heard them promise that they would protect the rest of my teammates and me, I proceeded to execute a meditation position.
I closed my eyes and I activated the celestial enlightenment system feature. After I activated that, I was suddenly brought into a space filled with white colors while some parts of the space had a gray shade but mostly at the corners of the white-colored space.
I was currently in my consciousness and I guessed that the gray shade was my dark energy.
The gray shade gathered into a location and formed a portal. The God Of Worldly Systems came out of the gray-colored portal and he flew in front of me.
Since all of the gray shade in the white-colored space was consumed, the space was now filled with only the white color.
The God Of Worldly Systems was wearing his usual robe while his pitch-black-colored and golden-colored hair was as long as ever.
"I heard from Alex that the chosen one of the God Of Life has defeated the demon lord of lust? I have already granted Alex his first wish and so I will now grant yours. Speak, what wish do you want me to fulfill?"
The God Of Worldly Systems asked me.
"Ah, before you forget. I will not comply to fulfill a wish that will increase the number of wishes such as having infinite wishes and such."
The God Of Worldly Systems reminded me. I had planned to do that but it seemed that the God Of Worldly Systems had already seen through my plan.
Or, Alex must have wished a wish that will increase his current number of wishes. The God Of Worldly Systems had thought that I would do the same so he reminded me before I could wish something like that.
"Before I can ask you to fulfill my wish, can I ask a question first?"
I looked at the God Of Worldly Systems' eyes while maintaining a serious expression.
"It depends on what question you will ask. But since this is a special occasion because one of the demon lords have been killed, then I will answer whatever question you will ask."
The God Of Worldly Systems permitted me to ask him any questions.
"Then, can I ask if mortals can use the energy known as 'Divinity'?"
I asked the God Of Worldly Systems. The God Of Worldly Systems was taken aback by my question but he regained his composure in an instant.
"Hohoho! Are you interested in wielding divinity?"
"Yes. That is why I ask if mortals such as me can wield Divinity."
I replied to the God Of Worldly Systems' question.
"You are quite the smart one. None of the heroes including Alex had chosen to ask about divinity nor wish they will be able to wield it."
"The answer to your question is no. A mortal's body will not be able to store divinity since divinity is a powerful energy that only a divine being's body can withstand. That is why only Gods can wield divinity."
The God Of Worldly Systems answered my question but his answer disappointed me quite a bit.
I had planned to wield divinity so that my battle against the demon lords would be smooth sailing.
"But, you will be able to wield divinity even if you are a mortal. The reason why you can wield divinity is that I have used expensive resources from the Divine Realm to construct your body."
"I have already predicted that you will inevitably ask me to grant you the power to generate and wield divinity so I constructed your body to be able to withstand divinity. Your soul will be able to withstand the oppressive effect of divinity because it is made from a system's fragmented soul."
The God Of Worldly Systems brought me with good news and he told me that I could wield divinity.
"But, by allowing you to wield divinity, it will change some of your system stat interfaces since it will be needed to be updated. Are you sure you want to wield divinity?"
The God Of Worldly Systems asked me while I nodded in agreement.
"Sigh... Since you have already agreed, then I will not ask you any further questions."
The God Of Worldly Systems sighed while he let golden-colored energy out of his body.
"This is divinity, Axel Everheart. Now, I will pass some of my divinity to you and I will also open up and expand your mana pool so that it will be able to store and generate divinity."
The God Of Worldly Systems presented me with the golden-colored energy and told me that it was divinity.
The God Of Worldly Systems flew towards me and placed both of his hands that were covered with divinity on my head.
I then felt a surge of energy being forced inside my body and that certain energy went towards my mana pool.
Afterward, my mana pool was destroyed by the divine energy and the divine energy was stored successfully inside my mana pool after my mana pool was rebuilt.
Now, I possessed divinity inside my mana and divinity pool.
The divine energy inside my mana pool was then channeled around my body through my mana veins. My mana veins were destroyed and reconstructed so that they could withstand my divine energy.
After an hour had passed by, my body had grown accustomed to the divinity inside my body. I was now similar to a demigod since I could wield divinity despite being a mortal.
My body became a lot stronger, my reaction time was improved by several times and my mana capacity was improved to the point that I could store 5 trillion mana points.
"So this is the power of divinity!"
