Chapter 1461: The Four Season Problem
As the four maids found a place to sit beside D, Mathilde, who was relaxing on the opposite side to Arad, looked at them for a while before shifting her attention to Arad.
"What were we talking about? Yes, the divine portfolios." Mathilde’s eyes shifted toward Cerilla and Jasmine, "I believe that the gods can’t let you keep those portfolios hidden for a long time without using them. Simply because that weakens the divine order."
Jasmine frowned, "And you want him to turn me and Cerilla into gods?"
"Demi-goddess at least. The gods generate divine energy, which can be used to fuel the angels at the frontlines. As you might expect, only the strongest of the gods are obliged to fight, so the weaker ones just support by paying a share of their divine energy. This doesn’t include the demigods who need every drop of their divine magic to ascend." She stretched her arms.
"That little girl Lucy is already paying a portion of her divine magic. We’ll all die if the gods lose the war, so supporting them as much as possible helps everyone." She looked at Merida, "Of course, this means the other gods won’t start any problems with you."
"So if a lesser god pays taxes, someone like Amaterasu would have to ignore small transgressions against her domain." This is what Arad thought, but he was wrong about the details.
"It depends on whom you pay the taxes. If the lesser god pays Kali, then they can be sure that Amaterasu would retaliate if they offended her. They can only expect Kali to tolerate them."
"It depends on who pays whom." Arad looked up, and Cerilla leaned on him.
"Don’t worry too much about it. Most of the higher gods are reasonable. Amaterasu won’t just attack anyone for a small insult or a mistake; the gods are above petty disputes."
Mathilde laughed in the back, "That’s where you’re wrong, Cerilla. Amaterasu is petty, salty as hell. She’ll go above and beyond to fuck someone’s life up because he made her mad once."
