by fnovelpia“God of lovingkindness. Adora.”
A voice that exudes intimidation and weight. God of lovingkindness. Adora solemnly declared.
The surrounding scenery has changed. Divine power leaking from the body. The goddess looked down at Revan in a completely different mood than before.
and.
“······.”
and···.
“······.”
and···?
“Mother?”
Solemn proclamation. After that, Revan raised his bowed head towards Adora, who did not say anything.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Are there any next steps? Well, it gives you a new blessing…”
“Um.”
Nod. Adora shook her head up and down. Revan felt relieved when he saw that. After all, no matter how weak it may seem, in the end God-
“I don’t know.”
“···Yes?”
“This is the first time something like this has happened! Believers are born, and this space is filled with my power… This is the first time something like this has happened!”
When Revan looked up, Adora’s face was suddenly filled with anxiety and impatience. Just like what I saw a moment ago.
“···Ha.”
Revan pressed his thumb to his temple. After all, people(?) cannot change in an instant.

“A new blessing must be given, does this mean?”
“Yes.”
Revan and Adora. The two were sitting facing each other with the table in the middle. It was thanks to the recovery of my faith that I was able to imitate the actions shown by Sylvia.
“I have gained this much faith, but it is too wasteful to maintain the previous blessings.”
Adora’s tone was not the same solemn tone as ‘mother’ just now, but was back to when we first met. Revan also felt comfortable this way, so he didn’t try to argue.
“···If you give it away again, aren’t you going to destroy both the power and the name?”
“I-I’m not stupid?! You can control this! And what kind of nonsense is that – ”
Hehehe. Adora’s cheeks turned bright red and she covered her eyes with both hands. It was an act that clearly revealed that they had never had a proper conversation.
“···Tsk.”
“Oh, you’re kicking your tongue at your mother!”
Adora’s eyes trembled. As expected, I muttered to myself, “Is parenting really hard?”
“By the way.”
It seemed like teasing Adora like this would be fun in its own way, but Revan got to the point.
“What blessing are you trying to give me?”
“Huh?”
“No, honestly, isn’t the current blessing quite great?”
The blessing power Revan received from Adora was simple. Regeneration of the body and immunity to poisons.
Although his relationship with Sonia ended badly, he was the biggest contributor to keeping Revan from running away with his head until now. It was a shame to erase it.
“Umm···.”
At Revan’s question, a voice filled with concern escaped Adora’s mouth.
“Revan.”
“Yes. Adora.”
“What do you think is the scope of God’s power?”
“What do you mean by range?”
“It’s literally like that. What kind of power can God give?”
After pondering for a moment, Revan answered.
“Isn’t it possible to bless something related to something you control?”
It was a reasonable inference. The god of war is power. The god of life has the power of healing. The Iron God used to give blacksmiths strong skin that tolerates fire and delicate fingertips.
“Hmm… That’s half true, but it’s not the answer.”
But Adora tossed her head left and right.
“In theory, any god can grant any power.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I can make elves too. However, the amount of faith expended in that action will be on a different level than when Sylvia did it.”
wickedness. Adora held out both hands to Revan with the palms facing the sky.
“It’s like any other believer. The fire god can give his god the power to breathe underwater. But.”
“It would require a much greater amount of faith than if the water god himself blessed you.”
“That’s right. And, the opposite is also the same. God specializes in granting authority related to the things he controls.”
chuck. Adora’s finger pointed at Revan.
“The blessing given to you is the same for the reason why it boasts remarkable performance.”
“···What does that mean?”
“Revan, what god did I say?”
“He is said to be the god of lovingkindness.”
“It’s literally like that. The way you thought of your young lady was so noble, and thanks to that, the blessings from me, the God of lovingkindness, started a chain reaction.”
Adora continued talking excitedly as if it was an amazing event. Without noticing Revan’s expression hardening.
“I didn’t have much faith when I gave you my blessing. It means that he could never have given such powerful authority.”
“······.”
“But your heart literally made the sky cry! Oh, are you doing well with that girl? Unlike other gods, I didn’t have the power to look down on the earth.”
It was an excited, hopeful voice. It was a very touching scene for Adora to recall, as the miracle born from the clash of such desperate hearts reached her.
“He sold me.”
“···Huh?”
“The story is a bit complicated.”
In the end, even if you hide it, it will be revealed. Revan honestly and honestly explained what happened after receiving the blessing. Sold as a slave in the laboratory, going to the duel, and afterwards, Geoff escapes, reunites, etc.
“Uh, uhh.”
Adora’s body trembled as she heard the whole hidden story. A shaking palm tapped Revan’s shoulder.
“As life goes on…”
“······.”
“Woman, there isn’t just one woman in the world, right? Right?”
Adora, who was trembling pitifully, soon lowered her head. Instead of comforting me, the guilt only increased as I felt like I was being stabbed more and more as I went on.
“It’s okay.”
“Really…?”
“Yes, whatever. After talking with him, he said that selling him into slavery was not intentional.”
“Well, I see…”
Adora eventually stopped muttering, just as Revan had hoped. It was strange for the person concerned to even say that it was okay.
Adora frowned, wringing her hands. And Revan didn’t want this kind of atmosphere either.
“By the way, what does it mean to give a new blessing?”
“Ah, that’s…”
Life returned to my dull eyes. Adora stroked the back of Revan’s hand.
“When I checked again the authority I had been given, I felt a sense of discomfort. Now I know the reason…”
Revan asked Adora, who smiled bitterly.
“What if you feel uncomfortable?”
“Because your powers have not grown at all since I gave them to you.”
“Growth, you mean?”
“Yes. The blessings given by God grow with believers. For example… why would the Holy Knights of other denominations become stronger as they gain more experience? Each person built up their divine power little by little by keeping the mission and faith given to them.”
“I guess I couldn’t do that.”
Looking down at the back of his hand, Revan muttered in a subdued voice.
“···Yes. Perhaps the blessing would have been strengthened if you had continued to build a bond with your young lady and lived with a great goal in mind. I don’t know what’s at the end, though. But, bygones are bygones!”
match! Adora hit the back of Revan’s hand with her palm.
“Now, should we move towards a new goal?”
“···Isn’t the transition too fast?”
“Oblivion is a blessing given to humans, so cherish it.”
Ugh-! With a lively voice to change the mood, energy began to gather in Adora’s hands.
Revan could tell from his experience so far. Adora has now concentrated her faith into her hands to grant herself a new blessing.
“Say it again. I am the god of lovingkindness. Adora.”
Nod. Revan made eye contact with his mother. Before I knew it, Adora’s tone became solemn.
“New blessings are needed. And, in order to be blessed by me, you must ultimately know for sure what you want.”
Creeping. The divine power that spread like mist at dawn began to surround Revan.
“So, I will take a moment to look into your past and present. Ah, this may be a painful time for you.
But, what gain is there without pain? Just like you prayed to heaven as you died with blue lips in front of your girl. Blessings are given to those who have a strong heart and confidence, so think that there is nothing you can do about it.”
Finally, the surrounding fog-like energy rushed into Revan’s body.
Revan instinctively knew what to do. So I just closed my eyes and stopped thinking.
***
“Ah, ahhh…”
“······.”
“Ahh… It’s so sad! A farewell like this… If we were together with you, we would definitely have been able to get closer to the truth…!”
The lab coat, which should have been white, was stained here and there. A soggy, dark and ominous color. The blood had hardened and turned red.
A fairly old man with glasses who looked normal on the outside was holding his head and muttering like a crazy person.
“Okay, what do you think?”
In front of him is black hair. And, unlike when he first came here, a boy with cloudy blue eyes looked at the man with his arms and legs tied to the restraints.
Click! A crazy bespectacled researcher removed the gag from a boy’s mouth. As if he wanted an answer.
“···close.”
“Huh? What?”
When asked to come closer, something he would never normally do, the bespectacled man willingly brought his face closer.
“Yes, that’s why I want to-”
“Quew.”
The boy spat out the saliva he had collected from his dry mouth at the man who came close to his face. Sticky saliva flowed from the man’s face.
“···Fuck you, you crazy pervert.”
Sigh. For the first time in a long time, a smile appeared on the boy’s lips.
Revan had finished his life in the laboratory and was about to be sold to the arena.
