Multiversal Friendship System-Chapter 213 - 212: Let’s Go Trick a Goddess Together

Souta: "Verethragna possesses sun-based powers, including the 'White Stallion.' If Nezuko kills him and seizes that Authority, it'll give her a devastating weapon against demons."

Nezuko: "Kill a god!?"

Nezuko: "Isn't that... disrespectful?"

Souta: "@Nezuko. Don't worry. Rather than 'gods,' think of them as powerful life forms. And they're nowhere near as nice as me—they don't care what kind of disaster they bring to humans. You don't need to feel guilty."

Nezuko: "Understood. I'll follow your guidance, God-sama."

Athena: "Verethragna? Him?"

Athena: "'White Stallion' does indeed carry sun power. But how do you plan to make sure she gets that specific Authority? The one gained after slaying a god is uncertain."

Souta: "I'll use divine power to increase the odds. I'm confident Nezuko has high compatibility with 'White Stallion.'"

Altair: "Souta, didn't you say before that only those who personally kill a Heretic God get recognized by the Circle Of Usurpation and gain divine power?"

Altair: "Nezuko... probably can't slay a god on her own, can she?"

Souta: "Usually, Campiones complete their first god-slaying with the help of a divine weapon. I'll find a proper god-slaying weapon for Nezuko to use."

Altair: "Why not just use an attack card?"

Souta: "Because the card disappears after use. A god-slaying weapon remains behind for Pandora to see, and she'll verify it as a legitimate kill. Best not to cut corners here."

Kurumi: "Wait—didn't we discuss this before? The Circle Of Usurpation is controlled by Pandora. If she realizes Nezuko isn't from her world, she might refuse the transfer. That would make the kill useless, right?"

Souta: "Kurumi, don't forget the system's world-travel feature. When we transfer, it embeds our existence into the target world's fabric. No one can tell we're outsiders."

Kurumi: "But demons aren't human. That might be noticeable."

Souta: "Demon souls are the same as human ones. The physical form is the issue, but I can cover that with divine camouflage."

Athena: "Fooling Pandora by mimicking god-slaying beasts? Sounds... amusing."

Athena: "@Souta. I'll help watch for Verethragna. When he appears, I'll notify you."

Souta: "Thanks. He and Melqart will both appear on Sardinia in Italy."

Athena: "Got it."

Souta: "@Shiroyasha. I'll need your help with something—about the divine weapon."

Shiroyasha: "Hmm? Want to borrow one? I don't have many divine-tier weapons lying around."

Souta: "Not from your collection. I want to borrow the 'Spear of Indra' from Black Rabbit. But she doesn't know me, so I'll need you to vouch for me."

Souta: "Given your relationship and your standing as a Floor Master, she'll probably agree."

Shiroyasha: "Can't you make your own god-slaying weapon? From what you've told me, Heretic Gods aren't even that strong."

Athena: "..."

Souta: "They're still strong enough. And forging a divine weapon costs too much divine power. Why waste energy when I can mooch for free?"

Shiroyasha: "That's the Souta I know."

Shiroyasha: "Alright, since you've helped me before, I'll agree. Just let me know when you're heading to Little Garden."

Souta: "Will do."

With that, the group fell quiet.

The plan to power up Nezuko was now in motion.

Since Verethragna hadn't appeared yet, Souta didn't rush to retrieve the divine weapon.

Instead, he turned his attention to the system store's "Support Function."

"It's been out for a while," he clenched his fist. "Time I level myself up too."

Just then, the system phone vibrated.

He thought someone pinged him in chat—but it was a point transfer.

[Nezuko has sent you 1,000 points.]

Souta blinked. Didn't Nezuko only have 1,000 points?

She gave it all to him without hesitation...

Nezuko (DM): "God-sama, don't worry. I'll earn more points for you in the future."

Her private message brought him back to his senses.

Souta: "No need. You already paid your dues."

Nezuko: "God-sama forgot? I still owe you for saving me. Half of that 1,000 points was for that. The other half is for my power-up."

Nezuko: "Oh, and I haven't given you my blood yet either."

Souta: "Don't rush. I'll take you to the Campione world when it's time. We'll handle the blood then."

After replying, Souta opened the system store.

Looking at the Support Function's price—100 points per minute—his eyes lit up.

From missions involving Shinobu, Altair, Kurumi, Rin, Illya, and Nezuko, he had racked up 11,000 points.

Add Nezuko's 1,000, plus the 3,000 Kurumi gave him before returning to her world—he now had 15,000 total.

That's enough for one and a half invitations.

He figured this would let him drastically reduce the divine power needed to "baptize" a new divinity.

"But I can't just think about myself. I also need to save for Miku's invitation."

Souta asked the system:

Souta: "System, if I spend 5,000 points on the Support Function to comprehend a concept, how much divine power can I save on baptizing a new divinity?"

[Comprehension outcomes vary. Cannot estimate.]

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Souta sighed.

Looks like he'd have to try it himself.

"But... which concept should I focus on first?"

He hesitated.

"Acting Cute" from Illya and "Bajiquan" from Rin were obviously out—totally useless.

That left three viable paths:

Time

Matter

Personality

Which to choose?

PS: About Campione's godslayers being created by the goddess of fate—that's not accurate. I double-checked the original text.

Actually, it's the opposite. The Bearer of Fate supports Rama and wants to eliminate godslayers. As for Pandora preordaining godslayers—also not true. She simply appears when someone kills a god, absorbs the Authority via the Circle, and passes it on.

If she could "preordain" godslayers, they'd be mass-produced by now.

If anyone finds evidence to the contrary, feel free to point it out.
