As Athena looked at Ares, Chen Yi frowned at Athena.
Was she really being this generous?
What Athena gave Chen Yi was not authority. Authority chose its own master, and even fragments were no exception.
Even if it were given to Chen Yi, he would not be able to use it.
What Athena had truly given him was all the power within her related to snakes—the power born from the Curse Authority.
Long ago, Chen Yi had used a river to describe the power of Deities.
Authority was the main channel, while believers were the tributaries.
Because of faith, the tributaries constantly flowed toward the main channel.
The strength of the river corresponded to a Rank 7 player's Source Level.
Thus, the more high-ranking believers a Deity had, the stronger they became.
To them, low-ranking believers mainly served to restore Divine Power and accumulate divinity to strengthen Divine Artifacts.
Precisely because this river determined a Deity's strength, they rarely allowed their power to flow outward.
The Divine Techniques used by most believers merely borrowed Divine Power.
Only subordinate gods who had emerged from Small Worlds and made great contributions
would be granted some power corresponding to an authority.
In other words, the Deity actively carved out a new tributary from the main channel.
And this time, the main channel flowed toward the tributary.
The more they gave away, the weaker the Deity became.
How generous was Athena?
She had directly given Chen Yi all the water in the river.
That corresponded to her Medusa Form, directly turning her into the weakest of her three forms.
But... did pies really fall from the sky?
Whether they did or not, Chen Yi would take this power!
