Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Chapter 1851 A Radical Way to Grow Abominated Divinity

?Sunhaven, Eldorath Kingdom.

Underground facility of the Siren's Sanctuary.

"This whole thing about being a Faithless Celestial is really interesting," Eren thought to himself as he retracted his consciousness from Saith's body.

He could have never imagined that there was a way to become an Immortal without using the support of the faith-based Path. However, in the next moment, he shook his head.

"This Path is not for me. Why would I become a Faithless Celestial when I have already acquired a True God Spark? Not to mention I'll need to invest a lot for mediocre gains.

I could have gone for this Path if I had obtained a faith-based God Spark from some Immortal. But the way I am now, I need not follow the ways of the Faithless Celestial. As for advancing my traditional Paths as Ranker, it is too early to comment on it.

Eren was intrigued when the goddess told him how a few exceptional Faithless Celestials could manage to keep their dominion even when inside someone else's Immortal Plane. However, he didn't think he should go to great lengths to obtain such power.

Eren wasn't planning to become an Immortal killer in the future. The tussles he had with some of the Immortals were because they feared his abominated divinity. And rightly so.

Except for a select few, Eren did not cultivate any personal vengeance with the rest of the Immortals. And he wanted to maintain this status quo for the time being.

Eren could tell that his abominated divinity was getting more and more powerful with time. And this was when he had self-imposed a lot of restrictions on himself for safety.

What would happen if he really harnessed the powers of God Aleph's divine throne?

Eren had barely made any progress in his divinity related to water. Although he had said a few things related to water in his messages to the followers, it wasn't that effective for him.

Besides, he did not have the God Sparks related to the other elements so he couldn't completely make use of God Aleph's powers.

As such, even if he had started to control the elemental powers of nature, establishing his will over them thanks to the innate powers of the Elder Ichor, he did not gain divinity related to the said elemental powers.

If the goddess saw a God Spark as a weapon, then Eren saw it as a key. A key that allows a certain individual to unlock the ability to garner Origin Force Points from others.

He already had unlocked a part of this ability by wielding the True God Spark related to the element of water. He would truly become the Lord of the Elements if and when he obtained the "keys" related to other elements and started wielding his abominated divinity to its true potential.

The butcher's demonic powers, on the other hand, grew at a rapid rate. He was not only garnering a considerable amount of Origin Force Points every day but was also unlocking the true potential of his demonic domains.

The Goddess gave Eren a lot to think about. It also made him question his earlier approach.

"It seems my earlier way of thinking was too primitive. I was waiting for a true God Spark's appearance in the world of Labh Salem. But are things really that simple?

Can I predict the nature of the God Spark in advance? Can I find out its location in this vast world? First of all, will it really appear just because I wished for it?

If obtaining True God Sparks was so simple, the people of Anfang wouldn't have to go through the period of Calamity War. It also means that every time a True God Spark appears in any world, it causes a huge storm.

Can I manage to obtain a True God Spark under such a backdrop? Even if I could, how many years would I have to waste waiting for such a True God Spark to show itself somewhere?

I can probably live for longer than an ordinary Grandmaster thanks to my status as a demi-god. And my lifespan would only increase multi-fold when I break into the S-Rank. However, even my enhanced lifespan is nothing too impressive in the eyes of the Immortals. Can I outlast them in waiting for the True God Spark to appear?

The answer to all those questions is only one– probably not," Eren smiled wryly as he thought. However, after admitting his own limitations, new ideas began to form in his mind.

"What happens when someone like me kills a demi-god and extracts a faith-based God Spark from them that is related to the elemental forces of nature?" Eren couldn't help asking himself curiously when he thought of everything that the goddess had said to him.

"From the looks of it, the faith-based God Sparks are closely connected to the Immortal's Divinity who has created them before bestowing it on one of their followers," Eren caressed his chin contemplatively as he continued having a monologue with himself.

"If I rob that God Spark, it'll be like hurting the divinity of the Immortal who has created it. If that Immortal hadn't been my enemy before, he would surely become one if I even attempted to do something like this.

And if I managed to rob that God Spark from them, they'd do everything in their power to contaminate the God Spark with a lot of curses and restrictions.

After all, the ones who have made the God Sparks using their faith energy would naturally add some failsafe methods in them. I can't carelessly assimilate with such seized God Sparks and plant time bombs within myself with my own hands.

Things are probably not as simple as I think them to be. Otherwise, the other Immortals would have targeted each other's promoted demi-gods and the whole faith-based setup would have been destroyed by this point.

But what if… I do manage to assimilate with these faith-based God Sparks, turning into sort of some "fake keys" to unlock the true potential of my abominated divinity?"
