PS: A question for everyone about the Bladesong elf's skin color: would you prefer her to stay fair-skinned, or... go dark-skinned? Leave your comments here. I'll take them into consideration.
Once everything was done, Aaron sat down to rest.
This adventure had left him mentally exhausted. He could feel his brain working faster than before, but he was also more tired than he had been before setting out.
Granted, Tzeentch had appreciated the knowledge he had collected, granting him greater power and restoring all his mana, but that did nothing to relieve his physical and mental fatigue.
The tall, slender figure of the Bladesong beauty, Aponia, still stood before the four golden statues of giant snakes. Thick, purplish-gray divine power continuously seeped from the two scrolls of divine power into the pool as she maintained her concentration, casting her spell and operating the magic array.
Aaron studied her spell. It seemed to create a gap in the protective magic by substituting for and deceiving the wards laid by Seth the Snake God, allowing Aponia to seize the opportunity to steal his egg.
That raised a question: why did Aponia want to steal the Snake God's Egg?
Aaron sat cross-legged on the warm, damp floor and considered her motives.
Divinity was a Divine Spark, the distinction between higher-dimensional beings and mortal creatures. A Divine Spark represented the essence of a deity's power. Since deities were energy beings rather than physical beings, they generally had no fatal weaknesses-in other words, they were immune to fatal attacks.
Even when they fell into the mortal world during the Time of Troubles and became avatars, they remained half-energy beings. A deity would not immediately die from a pierced heart and could even survive without one. This was why many Divine Beings were immune to backstabs
