"Haha, Broly, that's where you're wrong. There are indeed people who were strong before receiving God's Blessing, but the power they originally possessed isn't directly recorded on the Ability Value panel. Whether they gain experience points mainly depends on the level shown on that panel.
Take lifting weights as an example. Even if you can already easily lift a hundred-pound weight, before the act of actually lifting that hundred-pound weight is recorded after receiving God's Blessing, lifting ten, twenty, or thirty pounds will all count as excessive training.
Mm, your original strength will only help you raise your Ability Values faster. It won't make God's Blessing into something bland to keep but a pity to discard."

Of course, things like Combat Awareness and combat techniques were another matter altogether. They weren't governed by the Ability Value panel.
"Alright, it's nearly time to eat. Tonight, let's have a grand feast together, as a welcome banquet for you joining my Familia, Broly!"

Hestia shook her head.
"Goddess Lord, are you inviting other Lord Deities to have a grand feast with us?"
That was what Broly assumed.
"Uh..."
At his words, an awkward expression appeared on Hestia's face.
If she directly admitted that she had no money, that she was an utterly impoverished
