Chapter 19 Blessing s and Cheat Abilities

"Great One," Sedna began and I stiffened slightly. She sounded so different from before with the echo in her voice that lulled my human senses to a trance-like state.

"We understand that you are keen to visit the humans and even though it is dangerous, we cannot stop you. Please allow us to give you our divine blessings along with the fragment of memories that was entrusted to us."

Before I could react, all seven Gods placed a hand on some part of my new body. The different sensations overloaded my mind but before I could differentiate them, the same warm and tingly feeling spread throughout this new body in a more intense fashion from the tip of my toes to the ends of my hair.

It felt like someone was cramming knowledge into my head and I didn’t know what I was seeing or learning. I didn’t understand what I understood either. It was a huge blur of everything and nothing made sense while the pleasant warmth lasted.

However, once it faded, everything slowly began to take shape.

First off, Sedna wasn’t joking about divine blessings. I could activate something called "Mind’s Eye" automatically to view information already known to me and to the Gods. It’s like a huge network between minds without the violation of privacy. That also meant that none of these Gods could hear my thoughts directly unless I wanted them to.

"Mind’s Eye" was a blessing given by the Great Gods in order for me to receive their memory fragments. However, they had also given me individual blessings apart from "Mind’s Eye". Buddha gave me a blessing that works passively called "Wisdom". No, I was capable enough of thinking up ideas but this skill allowed me to understand all languages including those of plants and animals. In addition, I could learn things at an astonishing rate. This would be helpful for adapting to the human ways.

Hades’ blessing was slightly different. It wasn’t a skill like Buddha’s. In fact, it was something that required practice. The blessing was called "Karma". As fantastic as it sounded, this wasn’t something I could easily manage. "Karma" was a blessing that will harm anyone who tries to do harm to me by reflecting the damage. Rather than a blessing, this sounded more like a curse but Hades vehemently denied.

"Anyone who tries to harm Great One should be punished accordingly."

None of the other Gods looked displeased so I had no choice but to accept it. Hades’ blessing was certainly weird but it wasn’t the strangest.

Next up was Zeus’ blessing. It allowed me to create a miracle during a desperate time. This blessing was as extreme as his character and it’s called "One-Hit Kill". Apparently, it can only be used in battle against a very strong opponent. As to why he thought I needed it? I had no idea. As a great existence, I should be able to simply absorb any threat. Was there a need to pummel it into bloody bits? I really wonder.

Freya’s blessing was slightly more normal. As the Goddess of Beauty and War, I’m thankful that she chose to bless me on the beauty domain rather than the war part. Her blessing was called "Charmer" and it simply meant that I could use it to buy the hearts of anyone I meet. That also meant that I probably wouldn’t have any enemies when the blessing was active.

"Unfortunately, my powers are still lacking. Charmer can only work on the strong-willed. Weak-willed beings are not within the blessing’s radar."

Hold it right there! Wouldn’t a blessing normally work the other way around? Seeing that Freya was already looking so distraught, I decided to let it go. There’s no point in complaining now since there wasn’t much Freya could do. Besides, dealing with a few disagreeable characters will make things interesting. What could possibly go wrong?

Sedna’s blessing was actually my favourite so far. It was the only one I deemed practical apart from "Mind’s Eye". Her blessing, "Adaptation", allowed me to copy one trait from each thing I absorbed. The trait that is copied could be used without limitation. Up till now, I’ve only managed to replicate the physical form of those I’ve absorbed. Adaptation helps to make the progress smoother. It can replicate a behaviour, talent or physical form after absorption immediately.

It felt a little too convenient but that’s fine. I didn’t want to spend too much time struggling through the process of "growing stronger". I’m an existence supposedly greater than the Gods, I don’t need to become stronger. I just need to know how to use the power I have.

Speaking of power, Gaia’s blessing is a little strange. The blessing allowed me to transfer energy or magic freely without restraint. What does that mean? Also, she clearly lacked creativity. The blessing was simply known as "Gaia’s Blessing".

Last but not least was the mysterious Isis’ blessing. In fact, Isis’ blessing was the one that stood out the most. "Beacon" was a blessing that was not activated. According to Isis, the blessing will guide me in times of doubt and bring me to an "old friend". When I asked her what that meant, she only smiled mysteriously. None of the other Gods knew what she meant either so I was stuck.

The requirement to activate her blessing was to view the memory fragments and understand my origins. This made me nervous for many reasons and at the top of the list was fear of the unknown.
