Why must the devil be Defeated?

Chapter 75: 074 “Blessing
 

Just as Shane had thought before, the majority of the books in the adventurer’s guild’s library were related to fulfilling quests.

Titles such as “Magic Tool Classification and Construction Principle,” “Monster Catalog,” “Material Recognition and Types,” “Wilderness Adventure Precautions,” “Human Realm Dangerous Land Summary,” “Location of the Magic Source,” and others whose contents could be understood at a glance from their titles, appeared one after another in the catalog.

While confirming these titles, Shane intended to find the parts he was interested in.

Among them, one book was immediately chosen by Shane.

“‘Omni Potanssen’?”

Upon seeing this title, Shane immediately decided to read it first.

Because this book detailed the origin and history of the world known as Omni Potanssen.

Following the catalog’s instructions, Shane arrived at the targeted bookshelf and easily found the book.

“This is really convenient.”

While admiring the convenience of the library, Shane also began to flip through the book called “Omni Potanssen.”

It wasn’t until this moment that Shane learned for the first time about the true colors of this world.

No, it should be said that at Nien’s place, Shane had already once learned about the true colors of this world.

According to that goddess, at the very beginning, the world only consisted of the Divine Race and the Demon Clan.

The Divine Race wielded authority over various domains, thus possessing a multitude of different abilities.

The Demon Clan was born with extremely strong power, unparalleled in the realms of battle and destruction.

Because the people of the Divine Race excelled in their respective domains, they could be considered the most magnificent beings there, but due to the differences in their domains, they each excelled in different things. As a result, within the Divine Race, there were individuals who were either not skilled in battle or who had no combat ability at all.

The people of the Demon Clan, on the other hand, were generally very strong in terms of power, without any number restrictions, and as a race, they were far superior in strength to the Divine Race. Yet they were unable to perform the nearly miraculous abilities that the Divine Race could.

The two clans had been in conflict since the distant past, leading to a series of subsequent disputes.

This part was almost identical to what Nien had previously explained.

However, Shane discovered that before this, both the Divine Race and the Demon Clan had their own origins.

The book described it as follows.

“In the beginning when the world was born, there were only two beings in Omni Potanssen.”

“One named Ominis.”

“One named Klattis.”

“Ominis was an almighty being, the origin and beginning of the world.”

“Klattis symbolized power, the clone of destruction and devastation.”

“The Divine Race received power and authority from Ominis, taking various roles shaped in the image of the almighty Ominis, and as one of the earliest races, created humans, elves, dwarves, and beastmen among others. The Divine Race, being the creators of the Human Race, has since been guiding the lives in the Human Realm.”

“The Demon Clan came into existence under the influence of Klattis’s magic power, similar in nature to demons that emerged due to the influence of the Magic Power Source, a race naturally born through interference of magic power, naturally possessing great strength and revering power, engendering fear and terror.”

It was from these two beings that the Divine Race and Demon Clan came into being, leading to the emergence of various other races.

Therefore, it is completely fitting to say that the origin of everything began with these two lives.

Still, the Divine Race and Demon Clan have been antagonistic towards each other from the moment of their creation.

The reasons for this are probably unclear even to the Divine Race and Demon Clan themselves.

Perhaps it was due to some irreconcilable conflict, or maybe one side could not stand the other and wanted to claim sole ownership over the world. The true reason has long been buried in history, with no one knowing.

This reveals just how long the conflict between the Divine Race and the Demon Clan has been.

“With such a long history of strife, it’s no wonder that there are those within the Demon Clan who don’t wish for peace to arise.”

Shane mused quietly to himself as he read this.

However…

“Ominis…”

“Klattis…”

Undoubtedly, the owners of these two names, their identities, were about to come to light.

“Ominis is the supreme Goddess, the pinnacle of the Divine Race, known as the Supreme God.”

“Klattis is the Demon King who brings chaos, the apex of the Demon Clan, whose power is such that even the Supreme God must temporarily yield before it, making him the strongest being in this world.”

Thus, the Divine Race could only seek to summon a being capable of defeating the Demon King across worlds—a Hero.

Yet even so, successive Heroes had all fallen before the Demon King, with none able to successfully vanquish him.

Until a thousand years ago…

“The strongest hero of all time, Mitra.”

This Hero possessed unparalleled strength, surpassing all other Heroes before him, and finally managed to defeat the Demon King with the aid of the Supreme God Ominis and the support of all the Races, saving the world.

“The content that follows is the same as what Vivian told me.”

After the Demon King was defeated, the Supreme God Ominis had also expended too much of her Power, dividing the world into three parts and then leading the Divine Race into the Divine World, deep within, never to be seen again, and thus the Three Clans welcomed a peace that lasted a thousand years.

“Supreme God…”

Shane pondered, his gaze settling on his own Special Skill—[Supreme God’s Blessing].

To this day, he still had no idea what the purpose of this Skill was.

“Come to think of it, I still haven’t figured out what a blessing actually is.”

Shane began to flip through books, even searching for others, until he found a relevant book five minutes later—”Divine’s Blessing”.

“The so-called Blessing is, in fact, a kind of protection granted by Gods to the lives of the Human Realm.”

Shane opened the book and saw this line at first glance.

“Depending on the purview of the granting God, the effects of the Blessing vary.”

“For instance, receiving the Blessing of the God of Health could lead to healthy growth, essentially free from sickness and pain, and possibly even a long life.”

“Similarly, if one receives the Blessing of the God of Harvest, they would have bonuses in agriculture.”

“Generally, the blessings given to the common people are of the types mentioned above, with only those possessing other talents being favored with different kinds of God’s Blessings, displaying abilities in various areas that align with the effects of the Blessings.”

“Individuals with the talent for trade may receive the Blessing of the God of Commerce, benefiting from effects related to safety, business operation, and management.”

“Those with artistic talents may receive the Blessing of the God of Art, similarly gaining corresponding effect Skills.”

“And those with combat talents, such as Adventurers, usually possess blessings that boost various immunities and resistances, offering life-continuation effects in life-threatening situations.”

“The Blessings of the Gods are as diverse as there are patron Gods for all domains.”

“Of course, the stronger the power of the God bestowing the Blessing, the more potent the effect of the Blessing.”

Such is the nature of Blessings.
