Believers Praying to God of Light Balder
Hearing the prayers around him, Su Yao keenly sensed a faint connection.
Following this connection, he could even perceive what the person praying looked like and what the surrounding environment was like, as if he were there in person, with a 360-degree God's-eye view.
Su Yao even had a feeling that he could use this connection to unleash divine power or something.
By simply revealing oneself to believers, their faith will undoubtedly increase dramatically, leading to a greater accumulation of Faith Power and a faster rate of Divinity advancement.
These are all positive things, and if possible, he naturally wouldn't mind showing off a little when he's in a good mood and has some free time.
pity...
I heard one of the believers talking about wanting to regain his sight...
Su Yao's lips twitched, indicating that he wasn't an omnipotent wish-granting machine. With his current abilities, he couldn't possibly restore someone's eyesight, so how could he possibly help...?
He paused slightly as soon as he thought that.
"No, that's not quite right. It depends on the specific situation. If it's just a normal case of vision restoration, maybe I can still do it?"
"For example, Light Energy can simply accelerate the recovery of injuries. After so many upgrades, although the recovery effect of Light Energy is not as heaven-defying as Wolverine's Uncle Wolf, it can still heal some simple wounds."
"What If...? that person's eye injury was acquired, rather than a congenital deformity..."
Su Yao hesitated for a moment.
In this situation, if we were to give it a try, perhaps...
Driven by curiosity and a desire to try, he couldn't resist following the mysterious connection to investigate the most devout believer who prayed to regain his sight.
The next moment, he perceived and saw a scene.
Inside a dark, dilapidated but very clean room.
A woman in her forties, dressed in blue with blonde hair, was kneeling on the ground, praying with her hands clasped together.
Su Yao's attention was drawn to the man's closed eyes.
What's wrong with this person's eyes?
He was a little curious.
As time passed, after a while, he roughly understood what kind of person this was.
Under Su Yao's powerful mental and Mind Power, as the middle-aged woman with her Blind Person's Cane walked out of the dimly lit room and passed through some streets, he keenly overheard the discussions of some neighbors and passersby.
"Poor Audrey, she's over forty and she's blind."
"If you ask me, it's good that she's blind. Who told her to be a Mutants? If it hadn't been exposed at the hospital, I wouldn't have known she was a Mutants freak!"
"Audrey didn't do anything, so isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that..."
"What's wrong with that? Mutants are monsters, freaks. Don't be fooled by Audrey's current good condition; who knows when she might lose control and we'll be the ones who suffer then!"
"No way..."
After listening to the discussions of some neighbors and passersby, Su Yao roughly deduced the situation.
Basically, this middle-aged woman named Audrey used to be a nurse at a nearby hospital. She accidentally revealed her Mutant Ability when a patient was critically ill.
Her Mutant Ability allows her eyes to adjust their viewing distance like a microscope, enabling her to see things like bacteria, and she can also have a rudimentary ability to see through things and see inside a patient's body.
In short, it is a good Mutant Ability for medicine.
Unfortunately, although he helped the patient and saw the cause of the illness, enabling the patient to be rescued very quickly, the hospital later discovered the truth.
Even though she saved the patient, the hospital still fired her, and the patient she saved didn't even thank her. As a result, she became unemployed.
Ultimately, some people who extremely hated Mutants heard about her story and, one day while Audrey was sleeping, angrily cut out her eyes with a knife.
Afterwards, when the criminal was arrested, he proudly said that he had rid everyone of a scourge.
Not long after the prisoner went in, perhaps because of Audrey's Mutants status, he was released on bail after paying some money.
And because she went blind, Audrey's already terrible life became even worse.
If it weren't for the fact that I could find some food that others didn't want while scavenging, and that the other party's son would occasionally come over to help me out, I might have died in the dilapidated shack.
As for why the other party prayed to him, with the power of the Mind Scepter and his own spiritual and Mind Power, Su Yao glimpsed some of the other party's memories and roughly figured out the situation.
Since news of the New York War spread all over the world, information about Thor, a member of the Avengers, naturally also spread to every corner of the world.
Audrey herself was interested in Norse Mythology, and upon discovering that Thor was a real person, she naturally assumed that the other Norse gods must also exist.
So he prayed to Balder, who was rumored to possess the light, hoping to regain his sight.
After figuring out all of this, Su Yao's lips twitched.
He wanted to say that simply possessing light did not grant her sight and light.
"Uh, no, that's not right either. If my Divine Word is level five, then maybe it really could make her see things, even if she has eye problems..."
"After all, it is common knowledge that the reason why all living beings can see things is entirely because of light, and this power is truly under my control..."
Su Yao seemed to be deep in thought.
We can only see with light. With light, the photoreceptor cells on the retina generate visual information, which enters the brain through the optic nerve to form an image. Without light, the photoreceptor cells are useless, and we cannot see anything in front of us.
The different colors of things are also due to the different wavelengths of light.
If you were to slightly alter the wavelength of light, you would become colorblind...
"Speaking of which, perhaps I could also blind the enemy?"
"Even, it can cause visual illusions in the other party, making them see all sorts of distorted images..."
Su Yao thought to himself with some hesitation.
The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. And believe it or not, it was very possible to do such a thing.
Su Yao fears that his current control over light is insufficient, which may prevent him from completing this task.
"Let's try it later, and focus our attention on this believer for now."
Su Yao's gaze returned to Audrey.
As the sun began to set, Audrey finished her search and, carrying a pile of food that she could find by touch and smell, hurried home with faltering steps.
As she sat in front of the food, unconsciously clasping her hands together in despair as she prayed once again, Su Yao had an idea and began to try it.
