You call this magic?

"So you can actually see other people normally." Ethan smiled and moved a chair to sit opposite Su Mo. "I thought you were blind and deaf and couldn't hear what others were saying at all."

"Who are you? Which god's child are you? What did you do to my sacred wine?"

"First of all, I'm not a descendant of any god, and I haven't received any of your so-called favors. Secondly, guess what I did?"

"...The alcohol content in my divine wine has completely disappeared." Su Mo said in a low voice, "Without alcohol, the divine wine is no longer a divine wine, and it can't even be considered a failure."

"Hey, you're wrong about that. The presence or absence of alcohol doesn't really affect the flavor of this drink... well, the flavor of the drink."

"..."

"Don't believe it? You can try it. Since it's not wine, just drink it as water." Ethan also cast a spell on another glass of magic wine. Su Mo, who was very sensitive to alcohol, noticed the change in an instant.

Drink it as water...

Su Mo's mind was full of things related to wine, and he didn't really care about Ethan's attitude, so he picked up the glass half-believingly and took a sip.

"Sure enough... this thing can no longer be called 'divine wine'." Su Mo shook his head. "The taste hasn't changed, but the magic of divine wine isn't in the taste."

Indeed, as mentioned before, a drunkard like Haita never let Fulilian use this kind of magic on the wine he drank, because it would destroy the strange feeling of dizziness.

"But you can't deny that if it were this kind of drink, no one would be crazy about your wine, right?"

"What's the point?"

"The point is, if you still intend to ignore the children of your family, I will completely remove the alcohol from all the wine you brew."

Threat, this is a naked threat.

Su Mo still didn't understand: "My child has nothing to do with you, right?"

"If you insist, fine."

Next, Ethan told Su Mo exactly what happened today.

"If you hadn't let them go, they wouldn't have provoked me, and if they hadn't provoked me, there wouldn't be this conversation between you and me. So, do you think this has nothing to do with me?"

Soma lost his temper now. He knew exactly what Chanis had done, but he simply felt disappointed by the child who couldn't resist the divine wine, so he just let it go.

It was Chanis's own fault that he had provoked Ethan, this evil star.

"This divine wine of yours is essentially feeding people poison. Instead of trying to change its addictive properties, you blame your own children for not being able to handle it... With a parent god like you, they'd be better off dead."

"What on earth do you want to do?" Su Mo finally couldn't help it. Ethan kept talking to himself, threatening and cursing, but Su Mo was speechless. Now he just wanted to end the topic quickly.

Whatever Ethan wants, just give it to him and send him off.

"I want the position of leader of your clan." Ethan smiled brightly. "It just so happens that I haven't joined any clan yet, and I'm also very interested in this 'favor' thing, so... let me see it!"

At this moment, Su Mo had the intention to kill his own child for the first time.

Cha-ni-s-

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 6: Ethan's Abilities

"Are you serious?" Su Mo still couldn't believe it. Fortunately, he had maintained a gloomy expression for a long time, and did not show his emotions. Otherwise, he might feel that he would have lost his composure by now.

He was already prepared to sign up for the guild, but this evil star showed up and made some noise and threats, and his plan was to join his clan.

Well... it's not impossible. After all, it's definitely a good thing for the clan if there are strong people willing to join.

Although he had long wanted to avoid interfering in the clan's internal affairs, he had no choice but to do so under the current circumstances. After comprehensive consideration, the result was that it was feasible.

That was too feasible. If he said it was not feasible, whether the other party would be punished later was secondary. First of all, the alcohol in the treasure he had worked so hard to brew would be completely eliminated by Ethan.

Ethan's entire process of eliminating alcohol was completed remotely. He didn't dare to bet whether the range of this ability could directly affect his wine cellars throughout the city. If one of them happened, he would be heartbroken.

After comprehensive consideration, he could only compromise temporarily.

Anyway, for him now, it doesn’t matter who manages the clan. As long as he can be provided with materials for brewing wine, everything can be negotiated.

He had such strength before receiving the grace, and he must have become a terrifying talent after receiving the grace.

If you think about it carefully, putting aside subjective considerations, there seems to be nothing wrong with it objectively.

It's just frustrating in every sense...

"Of course. After all, fighting can make you stronger, so I can't refuse that."

"In that case, let's carry out the ceremony of bestowing grace." Su Mo had a dead fish eye, and his usually calm emotions had a huge fluctuation, although it was all anger.

Su Mo adjusted his mood. Although it was very different from the scene where he bestowed grace on the children of his clan in the past, he was still a well-known god after all, so he still had to make the necessary explanations normally.

"How much do you know about 'favor'?"

"To be honest, I have basically no idea." Ethan shook his head. He only knew that fighting could make him stronger, but he didn't remember how it happened specifically. After all, people watched anime for the plot, and it was enough to have an impression of the settings.

Most importantly, he wanted to listen to Soma's explanation of grace as much as possible.

"Blessings, in a nutshell, are catalysts engraved on human bodies, using the blood of gods as a catalyst and sacred texts as a medium, to stimulate human potential."

It’s a really simple and easy explanation.

"However, I must tell you that when a boon is bestowed, none of a person's attributes will change. It doesn't directly grant power to a person, but rather provides a channel to harness their potential. The experience points gained through various actions are transformed into substantial abilities, accelerating their growth."

This was no different from what Ethan had guessed before.

"In short, fighting more will make you stronger."

"That's true, but this kind of growth also has its bottlenecks. When you find that no matter how much you fight, you can't significantly increase your ability value, you can consider completing 'great deeds' to meet the requirements for leveling up."

As Su Mo spoke, he wrote sacred words on Ethan's back. Ethan could also feel a special power running rampant in his body. He waited patiently until the power subsided.

Most importantly, the notes... responded.

In Ethan's consciousness, the notebook began to tremble wildly and flip pages, as if it was about to explode at any time.

This is similar to the first time I met Yu Beier. After that time, the tightly closed notebook could be opened. What kind of changes will happen this time?

Soon after, the notebook stopped shaking and quickly turned to the title page, revealing the contents in front of Ethan.

One magic, three skills, basically summarizing his existing abilities and adding new abilities.

It was the skill [Mortal Wisdom] that was completely mocking his current experience, but he could only accept it, since he really hadn't watched many animations or played many games.

The Ghost Path series, as a skill with a single function, can no longer meet his needs. After thinking about it, Ethan deleted it completely so that it would not take up space. Although there is no space limit, it is a bit complicated to find what he has learned with so many entries.

By the way, the notebook actually evolved under the influence of the divine blood. It was more complete and detailed than before. Not only did it display his current attribute values ​​on the title page, but it was no longer a mess like before. Turning to the back, the magic he had learned and created was neatly arranged into categories.

But what surprised Ethan the most was the skill [Secondary Favor]. Putting aside the recruitment of followers, according to the skill description, was it possible for him to update his own ability values?

He would wait until later to try it himself, but now, he wanted to see Su Mo's expression.

"...To be honest, I think it's a bit of a waste for you to come to me. If you go to Loki or Freya's family, your future will definitely be limitless."

Su Mo still had that gloomy look on his face as if someone in his family had died, but his tone became uncontrollably agitated.

He is not an evil god, and when encountering such a situation, he will subconsciously make a kind reminder.

Afterwards, Su Mo copied out the entire numerical table on parchment and handed it to Ethan.

"I've never seen a child with so many magics and skills awakened at level 1. Even..." Su Mo said this and suddenly fell silent for a moment, "If possible, I want to hide one of your skills."

Of course Ethan knew which one he was talking about.

[Secondary Favor], this is completely challenging the authority of God. If it weren't for the last sentence of coexistence, Soma would probably report it to the guild after today. This is really too dangerous.

If a human could bypass the gods and grant favors to others, then this game between the gods would undergo earth-shaking changes, and humans would have the opportunity to become uncontrollable players outside the chessboard.

It's okay for someone like Soma, but if it were Loki or Freya, or even the remnants of the dark factions who might still be hiding in the dark, they would not allow such a possibility to happen.

"Alright." After operating on Ethan's back for a while, Su Mo sighed, "If possible, I hope you never need to use this ability. Of course, even if you do use it, you must not let the gods behind them know."

"Don't worry, it won't work."

In this world, it probably won’t be used, but it’s hard to say if it’s not in this world.

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 7: Changes in the Soma Clan

On this day, the Soma clan suddenly underwent a drastic change without anyone else knowing.

First, the god Soma, who had neglected the children for many years, suddenly walked out of his brewery and began to take over the housekeeping work like other gods.

This action naturally made a large number of clan members headed by Chanis panic. After all, the bad things they had done, depriving of favors was the lightest of them, they also exploited their companions to death, used the magic wine to control and plunder others, and used ordinary clan members to make huge fortunes. Each of them was proven to be irrefutable.

Therefore, anyone who participated in the exploitation of other clan members was deprived of Soma's favor and expelled from Orario through the guild's arrangement, never to return.

Chanis himself was still confused. Who would have thought that after being knocked unconscious and waking up, he would be sentenced to be expelled from Orario.

He was furious, he resisted, he launched the Tower of Bitterness, and then Ethan punched him in the balls again. All the participants were pinned to the ground and beaten by Ethan alone. In the end, they didn't even recognize their mother before Su Mo begged them to stop.

Facts have proved that no matter how sophisticated the plan is, it is meaningless under the double blow of absolute power and orthodox status.

During the whole process of beating the opponent, Lily, who was hiding in the corner, was secretly cheering him on, saying lines like "Hit him in the face, hit him in the face quickly".

It can be said that the people who feel the happiest are these former victims.

According to Ethan, it would be better to kill these bad apples directly to eliminate the trouble forever, but Su Mo spared their lives in the end, so that both parties were even. After all, the misdeeds of this group of people had been made public, and since they could not enter Orario, they would never cause any trouble again.

The first thing was done quickly in just a few days. The high efficiency made Ethan finally realize the ability of the serious Soma God, but it also made Ethan feel more comfortable criticizing him. You obviously have the ability but you let it go. It's all your fault!

Having witnessed the darkness within the clan with his own eyes, Su Mo could not raise his head at all when facing Ethan's insults. Knowing is one thing, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, he realized how little he knew.

What if he even checked it carefully once?

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Su Mo had nothing to say.

There is a one-sided emotional perception between gods and their clan members. He could sense that Ethan was genuinely angry at him for not fighting back, which made him feel that he had accepted the wrong person.

As for the threat at the beginning...how can it be called a threat? This kid is so great.
