Chapter 275 - 256: You saw it all, right?
Amberser thought he must have heard wrong.
What did it mean that several goddesses wanted to bless her? Could the Drow be under some illusion, being deceived?
A deity’s blessing sounded common, as if it were a dime a dozen, because from time to time, a chosen one of a deity would appear and stir up trouble, making it seem as though such things were not rare.
But in reality, every blessing required a deity to expend part of their own essence, akin to sharing a portion of their authority with a devout follower blessed with talent.
Powerful deities blessing followers didn’t significantly affect themselves, but even someone like Allen, a paladin with boundless prospects, had only talked with the Lord of the Dawn rather than receiving his blessing.
The weaker deities were even stingier; with their limited divine power, if they shared it with others, what would they do for themselves?
Amberser had never known what it felt like to be blessed by a deity in his life.
Therefore, a deity’s blessing was a tremendous honor and a highly targeted grace.
Except for some particularly capricious deities such as the God of Justice, Tyr—who didn’t care whether you believed in him or not, as long as you practiced justice and caught his attention, you could be blessed.
But Tyr was an exception. Most deities had a very strong sense of exclusivity and wouldn’t choose followers of other deities to bless.
