Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 2262: Origin of divine energy

"Some of the gods are born naturally and some of the gods ascend from mortals..." I couldn’t help muttering this to myself when I discovered the truth behind the divine realm.

After all, it didn’t seem consistent on what a god was.

The more that I thought about it, the more it felt like there were holes that appeared in this theory.

In the end, I couldn’t help coming to a single conclusion.

However, that conclusion was still a question.

"Just what is divine energy?"

It was clear that divine energy was the thing that was the source of all of this.

I had just accepted divine energy as a natural thing since that was how it was written in my past life, but now I realized that it was more than this. Instead of being something fictional, this was something that was very real.

Not to mention that it seemed like it was the cause of everything that had happened in this world.

So I had to question just what this divine energy was.

"It’s a form of energy and it’s something that the gods use..." I said to myself before a wry smile appeared on my face.

It seemed like from the very beginning, I hadn’t been asking the right questions.

But then again, it wasn’t as if there was anyone that would have answered these questions if I asked them.

With how much the gods kept from me, it would have been quite a surprise if they actually properly answered my questions.

So it wasn’t as if there was anyone that I could get the answers I wanted from.

But thinking about it, I couldn’t help feeling that there was something that I missed.

"What is it? It feels like I’ve missed something in all of this that would answer this question."

It was a strange feeling like there was something in the back of my mind and I just couldn’t drag it out. It was almost like some kind of itch that I really couldn’t reach.

After thinking about it for a bit, I finally realized something.

"The divine domain of this world is something that comes from the gods that created this world, but that doesn’t explain where the divine energy of the demigods of this world comes from. It’s not as if they would absorb the divine energy of this divine realm since it doesn’t even belong to this world in the first place."

As soon as I realized this, I went back to observing Percival.

He didn’t notice me at all since I wasn’t using the avatar to observe him, I was using the screen to observe his conditions. It was just that I really wasn’t able to figure out anything by observing him with the screen alone.

The only information that the screen gave me was how much divine energy and what attribute it was. It wasn’t as if I could directly sense the divine energy inside of him to observe its origin.

Which was why I had no choice but to send the avatar.

The problem with that was...

"Why do you want to hold my hand?" Percival had a very strange look on his face when he heard my request.

However, it wasn’t as if I hadn’t already come up with an answer.

"There’s something that I want to check with your body since you’re the first demigod that’s come out of this world."

Percival still had a strange look that had a trace of doubt in it, but he did accept this excuse in the end. After all, he was the pope not just because of his ability, but also because of his faith.

Since it was his god saying this, the faith inside of him made him inclined to believe that god.

Once I used the avatar to check his body, I found exactly what I had been looking for.

It was what I had actually been expecting to find, but I wasn’t certain unless I confirmed it.

The source of the divine energy was this world itself.

It was a strange sensation, but I was able to find that connection with this world after checking Percival’s body.

So the natural divine energy that he had was indeed coming from this world.

It was as if that divine energy was a representation of the world itself.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like this was something that was related to one thing.

"Creation..."

No matter how I thought about it, it really seemed like this was the only explanation for all of this.

The God of Creation was the one that had created this world, they had even created all of the gods. That was what I had seen in the memories that had been shown to me.

"Does that mean that the God of Creation is some kind of alien that came from a different place to create this world? Or are they a representation of what came out of the void, the very first thing in this world?"

No matter how I thought about it, it really seemed like everything led back to the God of Creation in the end.

Was it because I was from a different world as well that I was able to inherit the creation divine energy?

If that was the case, then it really seemed like it was only a matter of time before something happened between me and the God of Creation. After all, it seemed like the two of us might be the only ones that aren’t bound by this world...

"I need to figure out how creation divine energy works. Only by doing that will I have a chance to fight back."

In that case, the only thing that was left to do was...

"Let me show you how to spread your influence and how you can gain more followers." I said to Percival all of a sudden.

Percival was caught off guard, but then he quickly seemed excited by the words that I said.

Since I needed to learn more about being a God of Creation, then I would use this world.

It had been prepared for my trial, so I would make the most of it.
