“Garth City’s sea patron saint? This role is such a low one; is it really enough to sustain weak Divine power?” Leon smiled.

Sui Xiong was unsure.

“Maybe? I’ve never thought about it in detail. Maybe someone else could help us ascertain this.”

“We can save ourselves the trouble. I can capture a group of creatures near the shore and instruct them to live near Garth City as underwater farmers while forcing them to be disciples of Your Majesty, Angry Tide Heimsarah. We can calculate it then. As long as he accumulates disciples over the next 100 years, he will be able to become a legitimate god with the title of “storm” or “sea tide,” and it will save us much trouble.”

“Tsunami...” Sui Xiong thought for a long time before using his powers to shrivel up within his own body.

After about ten minutes, his separate physical entity here in Garth City spat out a piece of seemingly unfinished gold crystal. This crystal was transparent, and although it was somewhat damaged, it still exuded brilliance. In its center, there was a group of incomplete storms that were whistling, and thunder was ringing as well.

“Last time, I killed the God of Storm, Taklawur, and swallowed most of his body and kingdom. One of the parts were used by me to create my own kingdom, while others were used to make several spiritual weapons. The core of the armor you wear was from this material. I absorbed most of the god’s power regarding storms and violence as well as what he had trained, so reproducing it is rather possible.”

Although that was what Sui Xiong articulated, one could tell from the slight darkening of his green body that producing this crystal had still wasted much of Sui Xiong’s energy.

This was similar to the creation of legitimate gods. Although a normal human could not immediately become a god, if one had knowledge of storms and had absorbed the knowledge of the entire city, they could assume a temporary god role as long as they combined them together.

Of course, an honorary god was better than not being one, right?

Leon had already been making preparations to enter the Demigod Realm and thus immediately understood the use of the crystal. His eyes widened.

“But Lord! This is your chance; how could you give away the chance of being a legitimate god to someone else?”

“I don’t need this chance. My role as a god is to help people prosper and improve, but I don’t intend to become some god of storms.”

“Having one more role is good, though, right? In the past, didn’t the God of Sun also try to take on multiple common roles?”

“Eventually, he was killed. I’ve realized this is not the way to go as it offends many. Furthermore, it may create disasters for this world... This is too early for you to know. Just as the God of Light had cautioned me in the past, focus on improving your own skills first. Don’t worry about priesthood until you become a demigod. I’ll prepare a priesthood for you by then.”

“I don’t really need one. Even if I do, there are others which will be offered to me, there’s no need to trouble you.”

“Ah? Priesthood options? You plan to become a patron saint of Garth City?”

“That’s one of my options. Alternatively, I could be a patron saint of the Eagle Kingdom as well. I can tell that the God of Eagles has left a way of escape in my blood vessels, and when I become a demigod, he will try to steal my body to live in. If it’s just me, it would be hard to fight, but with the protection in your kingdom, he will lose. In any case, when I become a demigod, I can then swallow him, and I will be the next God of Eagles... which I may choose as my priesthood.”

“Being a patron saint is not a very good priesthood option. Have you considered being a god of violence? Although it’s not as compact a role as being the god of storms, I can still help you squeeze it out...”

“It’s too early to say, we’ll see.” Leon shook his head and subtly refused the offer. He did not want to tire Sui Xiong out further.

Sui Xiong also understood his meaning and nodded, smiling. Meanwhile, his original physical form back in his kingdom began sleeping and gathering power for him to be able to pass on the “violence” priesthood to Leon.

Towards this power, Sui Xiong had done his research. If the God of Storms’ inheritance was not enough, he had to use his own power to supplement this. With his level of ability, this was not hard. In any case, he absorbed great power from his disciples’ faith daily, and if he did not use it, it would be wasted in storage anyway. After explaining Angry Tide Heimsarah’s situation to Leon, he queried on Gath City again to ensure nothing bad had happened while he was away. Sui Xiong wondered whether that invisible fellow he had incited was in Garth City. This was an important place for Sui Xiong. It was not as surrounded by spiritual power like Void Mask City and was the perfect place for the fellow to manifest. Sui Xiong could not understand and asked Leon for his opinion.

Leon thought for a while before suggesting that Sui Xiong had forgotten one other viable place.

“Where?”

“I remember last winter, in the southwest area of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins along the big swamp, a leader had been leading his tribe. This tribe consisted of many officials who joined our church. I remember now, it was a baronet, and his surname was... Dahl.”
