"I have no power in this world for the time being, and I will need your help to arrange many things in the future."

With Su Mo's strength, he naturally doesn't need Erica as a combat assistant.

However, in matters other than fighting, one needs a suitable helper to assist them.

While strength alone might be enough to sweep across the world, it's difficult to truly mobilize the world's resources. Often, good communication is even more important than sheer force.

Erica happens to have a good talent in this area, which is why Su Mo is willing to accept her loyalty.

"No problem, it's my duty as a knight!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Erica immediately puffed out her chest with confidence.

If we're talking about raw power, there's Liliana among the younger generation who can rival her, but when it comes to coordination, few can match her.

"I believe in your abilities in this area."

Su Mo nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"However, in terms of strength, you are still a bit weak at the moment."

Erica was delighted to hear the first compliment, but her expression became somewhat tense upon hearing the second.

Compared to Su Mo, she was far weaker.

"I'm sorry! My lord, I will work hard to improve my strength!"

Fearing that Su Mo would dislike her, she immediately began to express her determination.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo shook his head directly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to criticize you. What I mean is, for your safety, I'm planning to strengthen your abilities!"

"what?"

Kanae: "Huh?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Huh?"

Xiaoyuan: "Huh?"

Can strength be enhanced by others?

Erica had as many question marks on her face as there were in the chat group.

Before she could ask anything, Su Mo had already reached out and pressed down on the top of her head. Sensing the magic flowing from Su Mo's palm, Erica immediately closed her eyes.

At this moment, Su Mo had already activated the power he had usurped from Veleslana—the God of War of the East—and awakened the boy avatar within it.

This incarnation can grant others the protection of a war god and unleash their potential, greatly enhancing their power.

"I am the strongest, and the one who holds victory in my hands. I hereby command my followers to accept the protection of the light!"

Chanting incantations can enhance the effect of authority.

Under Su Mo's protection, a large amount of divine power surged into Erica's body, forming a divine blessing.

The divine blessing transformed Erica's body from the inside out, gradually solidifying a set of crimson robes, leather armor, spears, boots, and a round shield on her body.

These are all conceptual spiritual garments constructed from divine power. Under Su Mo's adjustments, even the lightest long dress has a defensive power that is difficult for ordinary divine beasts to break through.

"Although it's still a bit short of godhood, it should be enough for the realms of paladins and divine beasts! It can even escape from disobedient gods."

After carefully checking that his enhancement had no flaws, Su Mo stopped.

It's rare to find someone useful, so we can't let anything happen to her.

For Su Mo, strengthening Erica was just a casual thing to do, mainly to make it easier to assign her tasks.

But to others, this was an immense gift.

[Xiaoyuan: "The blessings of the gods... there's even a way to become stronger like this?"]

[Xiao Yuan: "Brother Su Mo treats his subordinates so well!"]

Kanae: "Is it too late to learn chivalry now?"

[Rin Tohsaka: "It's too late, let's give up!"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Speaking of which, let me tell you a ghost story."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Erica has already reached Tier 2!"]

Kanae: "!"

[Xiaoyuan: "!"]

028 God-King Mekal, Divine-Level Blessing?

Everyone in the group was well aware of Erica's strength.

Before Su Mo joined the chat group, Erica, as the only advanced expert, was always the strongest fighter in the group.

After Su Mo joined the chat group, Erica used the Master version of magic refining techniques to further enhance her strength, almost reaching the peak of the Great Knight.

Even so, Erica remained at the first tier and failed to advance to the second tier.

Apart from Su Mo, who had no experience, the others who hadn't even entered the next level were well aware of the difficulty of advancing beyond their current level and understood that it became increasingly difficult to progress further.

Even someone as confident as Rin Tohsaka understands that she needs to spend a lot of time to grow to the first rank.

The more people realized how difficult it was to climb the ranks, the more profound their understanding became.

The more they saw Su Mo casually wave his hand and Erica break through to the second level, the greater the shock they felt.

It's one thing for Su Mo to have grown in strength so rapidly.

It can even carry people along with it?

Isn't that thigh a bit too thick?

Xiaoyuan was alright; she was just genuinely surprised. But Rin Tohsaka and Kanae were truly tempted.

The previous statement about wanting to be Su Mo's maid was probably just a joke.

Now, this has become a route they need to seriously consider.

No one could resist this level of temptation!

Let alone the second tier, even the first tier would be enough to solve their problems.

If they didn't feel it was too presumptuous, they would really like to ask Su Mo if he was still accepting people.

While everyone remained silent with mixed feelings.

Erica opened her eyes excitedly, feeling the surging power within her.

"Lord Su Mo's protection is so strong! If I were to face the divine beast wild boar now, I would definitely not lose! Even my uncle would be no match for me!"

If the normal version of the blessing could only elevate her, a great knight, to the level of a regular paladin, then Su Mo's blessing could be said to have elevated her to the level of a top-tier paladin.

Ordinary divine beasts and subordinate gods are no match for her.

If she were to activate the hidden back energy source—True Aether Mode—Erica would even be confident that she could briefly hold off the God of Disobedience.

"It's just a small amount of spiritual enhancement."

Su Mo shook his head slightly.

Erica was probably quite satisfied with this result, but Su Mo felt it was somewhat insufficient.

"The upper limit of the blessing system should be more than this. Let me study the divinity in more depth and see if I can directly grant the blessing at the level of divinity."

"A divine-level blessing?"

Erica could hardly believe her ears.

"According to what you said before, those who possess divine status, even if they are not gods, are at least god-slayers, right?"

That's a third-tier, nation-destroying level of combat power.

Judging from Lord Su Mo's words, raising himself to the second tier is not the limit; the third tier is even possible.

Even the disobedient god himself couldn't do that, could he?

Undoubtedly, these were words that defied common sense, yet Su Mo's expression remained calm and composed.

"What's so strange about that? Can't the chief gods or god-kings in mythology do similar things?"

Even setting aside those singular gods, stories of powerful deities elevating weaker beings to godhood are commonplace in mythology.

For example, the war god Veleslana himself is a subordinate deity of the sun god Mithra, but this does not prevent Veleslana from being the strongest war god in Zoroastrianism and being revered as the highest armed wielder among the Zoroastrian gods.

Upon closer examination, the sun god Mithra was also a deity created by Ahura, the source of goodness.

These myths clearly demonstrate that as long as a deity is powerful enough, its subordinate deities can also possess divine status and become beings at the level of chief gods.

Of course, this refers to the original gods in the Divine Realm.

Most of the subordinate gods summoned by ordinary disobedient gods do not have divine status. When the disobedient gods themselves lose their divine status, they will also become god ancestors or subordinate gods of the same level as divine beasts, with a very clear distinction in rank.

Erica was slightly taken aback when she heard Su Mo say that.

right!

Even things that the gods cannot do, Lord Su Mo may be able to do as well.

This is something that even the Supreme God and the God-King can do now, so it might not be difficult for Lord Su Mo.

Realizing this, she lowered her head.

You are absolutely right!

Not only her, but also Rin Tohsaka and the others, after hearing these words, were initially shocked but had no doubts about Su Mo.

There's no way around it; common sense simply doesn't apply when dealing with big shots of this caliber.

"Then, Lord Su Mo, what do we do next?"

After glancing at the surrounding ruins, Erica asked.
