Chapter 50: Meeting with a Goddess (1)
Ethan sat in silence for a moment, contemplating his next move.
Then, a thought struck him.
"System, in your opinion, what would a goddess like Skadi want?"
[Host, even gods require resources to grow stronger and develop their abilities.]
[While they have divine followers, faith is merely a conduit—a means to accumulate power more rapidly. Gods can absorb faith to enhance themselves, but it's not their only method of advancement.]
[That is why most deities on the higher floors maintain connections with the lower floors. If they bless a mortal and that mortal proves exceptional, the return on investment is immense.]
[However, should that mortal die, the deity suffers severe consequences. They not only lose the power they invested but may also experience a backlash that weakens them significantly.]
"So blessings aren't handed out lightly," Ethan mused.
[Precisely. The truly blessed ones are rare.]
