The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Of course not."

Shea smiled and shook her head, then turned around again, adjusting the angle of the communication projector so that Emery could clearly see the sky behind Shea.

"Sister, look..."

As she spoke, Shia flicked her finger, sending a small fireball into the air.

The small fireball started out as small as an egg, but during its flight it quickly transformed into the shape of a cat's paw, expanding in size hundreds of times. The massive flames from the final explosion were so dazzling that they were almost blinding when viewed through a projection.

This is definitely a powerful divine spell that can destroy at least several streets with a single shot.

"This divine spell is called Meow Meow Blaze, and it is one of our church's offensive divine spells."

After personally demonstrating a divine spell, Shia asked Emerald:

"Sister, how much of what you've understood?"

"This……"

Emery carefully recalled what had just happened before hesitatingly saying:

"You didn't seem to do any preparation or gather any divine power before you instantly cast this divine spell? It's as if this divine spell was already prepared and stored within your body, and you just threw it out?"

"Sister has a good eye!"

Shia nodded with a smile:

"That's why I just said that you have a misunderstanding of divine magic... Divine magic and magic are completely different things. Divine magic doesn't require understanding the principles or repeated practice. Its strength is only related to the degree of protection that the gods give us."

"Take the Meow Meow Pyroblast spell I just used, for example. As long as I sincerely recite a prayer with 167 syllables in my heart during my daily prayers, I will gain the right to use the divine spell Meow Meow Pyroblast once. This right can be stored indefinitely in my faith circuit until I really need it in battle, at which point I can release it instantly."

"The same applies to other clergy and divine spells. We clergy never need to learn any spellcasting principles to cast divine spells. We only need to offer our devout faith to the gods to obtain full access to divine spells through the faith circuit... The only ones who truly think about how to cast a divine spell from the perspective of spellcasting principles are the gods themselves."

"I think I understand now..."

Emerald nodded as if she understood. The way this priest used faith circuits to cast divine spells seemed very similar to the way a mage in a classic work from her past life used magic networks to cast spells.

"So, for someone like me, Miss Shia, do you have any suggestions?"

Amelie asked again:

"Is there any way for me to use true divine magic?"

"Well..."

Shia frowned again, thought seriously for a while, and then said uncertainly:

“I’m not sure if it will work… Sister, you can first establish your faith in Her Majesty based on your own understanding of her, and maintain your daily offerings to her… Once the faith circuit is established, things will be much easier.”

“Theoretically speaking, once the faith circuit is established, you can directly contact His Majesty, sister. But not every believer’s prayers will be answered by the gods, so there is a very high possibility that His Majesty will ignore you.”

"But it doesn't matter. The faith circuit is a fixed law of the endless void. The basic principle of every pantheon is the same—offering a devout prayer will grant you the right to use divine magic."

"So once the faith circuit is established, you can think of some beautiful and pleasant words and compose hymns to pray to His Majesty as a prayer... If you're lucky, you might be able to meet some of the conditions for divine magic and thus gain the right to use it."

"After all, many believers of gods come from different races and civilizations, and these believers also speak different languages, so the prayers are not fixed, but the general meaning is fine. The key is to be devout."

"...I understand."

Emery nodded slightly, though her tone was somewhat helpless.

Based on my impression and understanding of that goddess, I'd worship her, then compose hymns of praise in the most beautiful language possible to pray to her and gain access to random divine spells? It feels like gacha again... I hate randomness! Can't there be more pity systems?

But since there are no better alternatives, this is the only way we can try it out for now.

Emery glanced at the timer again and realized that there were only 7 minutes left for this cross-border communication.

I can probably ask one more question.

After taking about 10 seconds to decide, Emerald took out the seemingly broken artifact scepter and asked Shia:

"This is the artifact left behind by the Storm God... Is it still useful? Its main material seems to be very mysterious, and I can't analyze it at all. Does Miss Shia know anything about it?"

"A magical artifact... I actually have one too."

Shia glanced at the divine scepter, showing no particular interest, and instead showed Amelie her pair of cat-paw gauntlets before explaining:

"In any church, the main material used to forge divine artifacts must be natural divine metals or divine alloys forged and manufactured by the gods themselves."

“Sister, it’s perfectly normal that you can’t fully analyze it, because it belongs to higher-dimensional matter and has transcended the world. It’s normal that beings like us cannot perceive its full picture, just like an ant on the surface of the world can only see the circle when it looks at a cylinder.”

"But in the realm of gods, which has transcended the world, divine metals and divine alloys are quite common. They are somewhat like natural precious metal blocks and coins made of precious metals in our world, and are one of the currencies used for trade between gods."

"I see."

Emery nodded in realization, then asked:

"Would it be useful for me in my situation?"

"Of course it works."

Shea smiled and said:

"There are two main uses... First, since the original owner of this divine artifact has completely perished, you can use your divine power to slowly baptize it and completely transform it into your own divine artifact... Of course, you yourself are not capable of completing the baptism; you must pray to His Majesty while slowly eroding it with your divine power."

"...In short, to use divine power correctly, one must be inseparable from the gods, and one must pray no matter the time or situation, right? I understand."

Emery sighed:

"And what's the other use?"

"Of course, it's its role as currency."

Shia shrugged:

"Sister, you probably want to contact His Majesty through other means, right? But other worlds and churches may not be as friendly as we are. In that case, you can use this as currency to achieve your goal through trade."

"Can it still be used as a form of money to pay bills? I understand."

Emerald nodded again, then glanced at the timer and realized that the time left for cross-dimensional communication was running out. She then gave Shia one last serious thank you.

Carly then waved continuously in the projection, tearfully bidding farewell to her relatives whom she was meeting for the first time, until the communication time limit was reached and it naturally ended.

. . . . .

Amelie was fairly satisfied with this cross-border communication with the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult. Although it didn't achieve the most ideal result, she did clarify a few key issues.

Originally, Amelie wanted to figure out the basics of using divine power and then use her own wisdom to research advanced usage.

But now it seems that this path is not feasible. If you want to use divine magic, you can't get around faith no matter what, unless you become a god yourself.

But if Amelie herself could become a god, she wouldn't need to rely on other powers to solve her problems.

Therefore, we still need to pray; we cannot do without it.

In her previous life, Amelie was indeed an abeliever. Even when she prayed in the temple, she was basically just having fun and going with the flow. She was a materialist at heart.

But true materialism is also about seeking truth from facts. If gods really exist, materialists will also acknowledge it, and Amelie just happened to have faced gods directly.

Therefore, Emerald is also capable of prayer.

How should she pray? After all, Emerald didn't even know the name of the goddess who had blessed her.

After some thought, Emery decided to approach the matter from two angles.

Firstly, based on the Storm God's dying words, it can be inferred that the goddess must have a fondness for food, so let's use food as her main offering.

It just so happens that after Lian left, he gave Zui Hong Lou to Amelite as an inheritance. Amelite now has no shortage of top chefs and top ingredients, and she can have any kind of food she wants with just a word.

Secondly, following Shia's suggestion, they composed various ornate hymns in the language of this world as prayers.

Although Shia did not explicitly state the name of that deity, she made it clear that the deity was a powerful goddess who had lived and grown up in a human kingdom as a human.

Amélie wasn’t quite sure what kind of praise goddesses liked to hear, but she knew very well what kind of praise women liked to hear, because she was a woman herself.

It just so happens that Melson Entertainment has also signed a large number of writers from the Allen Federation, so Emery has no shortage of literary talents under her command.

She then issued a bounty to the literary artists under her company, asking them to write paragraphs of 80 to 300 syllables praising the beauty, strength, and wisdom of women.

Those literary artists, of course, did not know Amelie's true purpose, and thought that Amelie was simply driven by vanity and wanted to write some nice articles to praise herself.

Although I was utterly speechless, what could I do? He was the boss. Even if you're involved in literature and art, you still need to make a living.

And putting aside her character, at least in terms of beauty, strength, and wisdom, Emerald is indeed worthy of praise, so let's write about her.

As a result, a large number of hymns were quickly sent to Emerald. Although not a single word of these hymns mentioned Emerald, they all seemed to be praising her.

"These guys..."

Amelie immediately understood what the literary artists were thinking, but instead of correcting them, she told them to continue writing like that, and to write more.

Amelie was never an overly modest person. Even Lian, who was the human aspect of the Dao Ancestor, said that she was the best woman in the Federation, so she didn't need to be too modest.

Regardless of what is being praised, there needs to be a hypothetical target, and Amelie felt that there was nothing wrong with using herself as the hypothetical target of the hymn.

In just a few days, a large amount of the finest delicacies from the Allen Federation and the most ornate hymns of praise arrived in Amelie's hands, and she could begin to pray.

While her servants brought her food and hymns, Amelie herself was not idle. She also personally participated in the design, having Flora make several sets of nun's clothes for her.

These nunneries' uniforms also vary in style, some are simple and solemn, some are gorgeous like those worn by anime characters, and some even have a slightly frivolous and playful style.

Amelie didn't know what style of nun the goddess who blessed her liked, so she planned to try them all and do more of whatever worked... Anyway, she would only pray in front of her private idol in her own home, so it didn't matter if she wore a fun and quirky style.

Once everything was ready, Amelie tried to begin her prayer.

She built a magnificent white-gold church in the heart of Locke City, in the style of a church she had imagined. The exterior was guarded day and night by three M-class squads from the Melson Security Company, while the interior was personally overseen by Viliana and her elven mages, with no outsiders allowed to enter.

At the heart of the magnificent church building is a circular pool with a diameter of over 15 meters, filled entirely with holy water personally prepared by Amelie using divine magic. In the center of the pool is a white jade platform about 2 meters high, upon which are placed statues of gods and offerings.

The offerings were top-notch delicacies prepared by the chefs of Drunken Red Mansion, and the statue was a half-meter-tall pure gold goddess statue. The goddess's face was also based on Amelie's face, but she was not as charming as Amelie, but had more holiness and heroism.

Before the prayer began, Amelie took a serious and thorough bath, doing it all herself without Marcy's help. After waiting for the water droplets on her body to evaporate naturally, she put on the nun's habit Flora had made for her and began the prayer.

The first prayer, as expected, yielded no results. The goddess statue did not respond, and Emerald herself was not in a good mood. However, she aroused Julia, who was watching her prayer from a distance.

Amélie was not discouraged. She adjusted her mindset, wrote a new hymn with a different style, changed her offerings and nun's clothes, and continued to pray.

There was still no response, but Amelie was already in a state of focus and could remain attentive while praying, unaffected by the emotional changes of the onlookers.

Then let's keep trying and keep trying different things.

Amelie's talent is indeed exceptional, both in her magical training and now in her work as a priest.

The first time she put on her nun's habit, it was like she was playing a whimsical game, igniting the passion in the curious onlookers, Yulia.

But with each failed attempt at purification and cleansing, Emerald's condition improved with each attempt. After more than ten attempts, she could truly exude a sense of holiness during prayer, completely masking her allure. Even Julia's inner fire was extinguished, and she revealed a blissful expression amidst Emerald's ethereal prayers.

Amelie tried many more times, and finally, on one occasion, she offered a steamed fish and a garlic shrimp as tribute, while wearing a fun-filled nun's outfit and choosing a prayer that almost universally praised the beauty of long, black-stockinged legs, and received a response.

The goddess, whose name was still unknown, did not communicate with Amelite, but the statue of the goddess suddenly shone with golden light, turning the white and gold decorations of the church into a dazzling gold. The immense divine power resonated with the divine power within Amelite, helping her establish her faith circuit and granting her her first true divine magic.

"Finally... we succeeded."

Even though she had already joined the ranks of the world's top powerhouses, praying so many times in a row had taken a heavy toll on Amelie, and this kind of fatigue couldn't be quickly replenished with magic or the Flame of Life.

So after her prayers were finally answered, Emerald soon fell asleep in front of the statue, looking tired but satisfied, still wearing her fun-loving nun's habit.

When Emery woke up again, it had been almost 10 hours. She hadn't slept for such a long time in a long time, but it was very comfortable.

"How is it? How is it?"

Upon learning that Emerald had woken up, Julia immediately ran over, touching and pinching Emerald here and there, asking curiously:

"Emerite, what kind of divine magic did you obtain? Is it powerful?"

"Hmm... let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Amelie closed her eyes slightly to sense her own faith circuits.

She sensed it very easily, and to her surprise, Amelie was astonished to find that the way this faith circuit was used was very similar to the interface of the online games she played in her previous life.

However, all communication and social functions are currently locked, probably because that goddess hasn't granted her the necessary permissions; she can only play offline right now.

But it didn't matter, because the skill system had been unlocked. Amelie quickly found her first divine spell and understood how to use it.

The divine spell is called "Sunfire Burst." Judging from the description of its effects, it should be a powerful offensive divine spell, belonging to the Sun Goddess, rather than the evil god power of that goddess herself.

Since Amelite had already completed a prayer, her faith circuit now stores one use of the divine spell [Sunburst]. She only needs to use her mind to lightly tap the divine spell icon, just like casting a skill in a game, to instantly cast the spell without any preparation or consumption.

Replenishing the number of uses of [Sunfire Burst] is also very simple. All Amelie needs to do is calm down and enter a state of piety, and silently recite the prayer that almost entirely praises black stockings and long legs. No idols or nun's clothes are needed.

After figuring this out, Emerald naturally tried it out on the spot. Under the curious gazes of Julia and Marcy, she knelt on the ground and devoutly recited the 204-syllable prayer, which was almost entirely praising the long legs in black stockings, three times.

As expected, every time Emery recited it, the number of times the divine spell Sunfire Burst could be used in her faith circuit would increase by 1, and there seemed to be no limit.

"Let's go, darling."

After the prayer, Amelie thought for a moment, then reached out and put her arm around Julia's waist:
