"How had he managed to integrate the divinity of every god in the entire Indian pantheon?"
While Shen Fei reflected on himself, Holmes, Da Vinci, and the others confirmed Arjuna's situation through Peperoncino. Once they learned that Arjuna had truly become the sole god of the Lostbelt, everyone fell silent. It should have been impossible, which was why Holmes had asked for confirmation again.
If becoming the sole god were that easy, there would not be so many pantheons. There was probably no god capable of becoming the sole god—or rather, the gods simply did not wish to do so. A certain Zeus of Greece would absolutely have been the first otherwise.
"I don't know the specifics either. By the time I arrived in this Lostbelt, he had already become like this. But we can make some guesses. He likely acquired it bit by bit during the Great War," Peperoncino said, voicing his speculation.
"In theory, as a Cryptor, your interests should have aligned with those of the Lostbelt King. Why did you become a target for pursuit and have your Servant taken from you?" Holmes asked another question.
"It was impossible to cooperate with him. I knew that from the moment I entered this Lostbelt. Kirsch gave this Lostbelt to me to handle probably for that very reason. Even if I wanted to become the king of Earth, I would still need to preserve my own life.
"In fact, Arjuna's actions were not so extreme at first. That changed when an Alien Apostle appeared. He immediately altered his previous strategy and began accelerating the cycles of Yuga. Masi was taken from me at that time. I don't know whether he analyzed Heroic Spirit summoning himself or received the Alien Apostle's help, but afterward, he summoned three more Servants."
