Chapter 601 - 600 – Defending the divinities – Part 2.
"Hm… Yeah. We kind of need to decide that right now." – said Thanatos.
"…"
"If I may." – said Sengen.
"What exactly are your divinities and what they are called?"
"Combat type – God of beasts and ferality." – said Thanatos.
"Combat type also – God of pure destruction." - said Maparapara.
"Construction type from what I've seen so far? I really couldn't level it up." – said Phantasia.
"Goodness of oasis and beauty."
"…"
"Wait… Wait, a bloody fucking moment." – said Orion as she and Sengen were dumbfounded after hearing Phantasia's divinity.
"Your divinity… Is that of a goodness of oasis and beauty? Beauty?" – asked Orion.
"Yeb." – replied Phantasia.
"…"
"I'm sorry. But could you repeat that?" – asked Segen.
"I have a divinity of the goodness of oasis and beauty." – replied Phantasia.
"No. I'm not fucking with you."
"This my actual divinity that I have."
"Yes, I know how it sounds and I know how it doesn't fit my whole character."
"…"
"You are one of the most fucked up people in this entire game." – said Sengen.
"Some people even call you one of the most evil one too."
"You spreads plagues. Creates machines of war. Stiches together corpses of your victims while also using a friendly looking toys that are in reality a monsters from the nightmares."
"And the divinity you have obtained is… Goodness of oasis and beauty?"
"…"
*Sigh*
"Yes." – replied Phantasia.
"I'm not really fucking with you."
"But, if you two had forgotten, we are in the situation where we have no time to look for the suitable divinity and we have to get the first divinity we find."
"So we REALLY have no choice to be picky about what we find."
"Since if we don't pick them, there is a good chance that we wouldn't be able to get the next divinity."
"So, shut up. And focus on the current situation."
"We have secured two temples which still holds the divinity."
"The divinity of the goodness of the winter."
"And the divinity of the goodness of library and magecraft."
"Based on the two divinities we have, it is pretty much what they do."
"Ice based and the magic based."
"Which one you choose?"
"…"
"Well, there is really no point in deciding that." – said Orion
"I will take the winter, Sengen takes the other one."
"…But why?" – asked Sengen.
"Isn't your specialty using as many elements as possible?" – replied Orion.
"The winter does sounds good for you… However, the magecraft one seems to be more about magic as a whole, doesn't it?"
"…True… Honestly, I would like to have that one." – said Sengen.
"But are you sure about this?"
"I mean… I'm not really magic focused or anything." – said Orion.
"And strategically speaking, you would benefit from that divinity more than me in the first place."
"So yeah. Go take it."
"…"
"Thanks." – said Sengen.
"… With that decided, you two go back home and fetch another stealth aircraft, before coming to us. We will give you our coordination."
"And I want you to be ready MENTALLY, you hear me?"
"So be prepared."

"…Okay. I know you set up a base and everything… But wasn't this place known as the beautiful garden of ice or something?" – said Orion.
"Why in the bloody hell there is a whole ass military camp set up on the top?"
"I've told you before, the enemies will attack this place over and over." – replied Phantasia.
"I don't care if that place was beautiful or not before, since it is already a war zone."
"Not only that, you may not complete the trial on the first try."
"It may take you 2, 3, 4 or even more."
"So I must be ready to buy you enough time." – said Phantasia as he lead Orion towards the center of the mountain.
As soon as Phantasia arrived at the spot, he once again stared digging into the mountain, heading deeper and deeper, before then once again arriving at the room before the temple.
At the same time, Sengen also arrived at her destination where Maparapara was waiting for her.
"Okay, from this point on you are alone. I don't have any ability to support you since myself I'm a divinity user." – said Phantasia.
"Good luck." – said Phantasia to Orion as she as well as Sengen at the same time had both entered the temple dungeons.
"You came." – said the two guardians of the temples as they revealed themselves in front of the two challengers.
[Songstress Of Winter] – [Servant Of The Kmin – Goodness Of The Winter]
[Book Maker] – [Servant of the W'oik – Goodness Of Library And Magecraft]
"Are you ready to take on this divine challenge?" – asked the two priests.
"Yes!" – replied the two players.
"…"
(The Goodness Of The Winter trial is fallowing.) – thought Phantasia.
(A ball.)
(The four gods of seasons song their songs and let the balls commence.)
(This ball was meant to signal the beginning of the new season.)
(Simple put, you need to arrange the ball and compose a song which would express the very nature of the winter.)
(A mental challenge.)
(The same goes apparently with the Goodness Of Library And Magecraft trial.)
(According to the Book Maker, the challenge is apparently about solving the secrets and riddles, to discover a truth.)
(They have pretty much two trials that will be mentally exhausting… And I can tell from experience, since I've had the same kind of trial, that they won't be a joke.) – thought Phantasia as he climbed up to the surface while two homunculus soldiers replaced Phantasia in the underground chamber.
(Anyway, waiting time.)
