You are all my wings!

I just don't know if she can overcome the sacred constraints and accept the proposal now.

As for the capacity to hold divine energy, he sensed it and found that he didn't have any extra divine energy in his body, but rather a strange 'storage hole' had appeared inside him.

It seems that I cannot generate divine energy on my own.

You need to absorb it from places like sacred murals to gain that knowledge.

I don't know how much power a 1-point dose actually has.

He pondered this in secret.

At this moment, Terena turned her head and said, "Huh, when did the Saintess disappear?"

She glanced at Lyon suspiciously, wondering why he seemed to have a hint of Saint Britta's scent about him.

Is it because we've only been in contact with it for a while?

Because the taste was very faint, and given that there had indeed been some physical contact just now, Terena misjudged the situation.

"Just when you caught a cold."

Seeing that no one was around, Leon simply picked up Terena and carried her to keep her warm.

Terena quickly dismissed her doubts and giggled. Being held in the Holy See felt so new; Milia never received such treatment.

[Character Therina's affection level +1%, current affection level 81%]

"go!"

In the blink of an eye, it vanished from the Papacy.

Meanwhile, in the Third Saintess's meditation room, out of Lyon's sight, Britta leaned against the wall, her face drained of color, her forehead pale, and her breathing disordered.

She slowly adjusted her breathing, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

"I never imagined that the constraints the gods placed on me were so deep."

That moment was full of wonders, making her feel nostalgic and emotional. She even felt that her control over sacred energy had improved significantly, which brought her great joy.

However, after W left, she felt an invisible giant hand gripping her body, making it difficult for her to breathe, causing her to lose her vital energy, and making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She knew that this was the effect of something the gods had left on her, suppressing her thoughts and punishing her body.

"However, it's worth it."

After slowly regaining her composure for a moment, a determined look flashed in her eyes.

Since Lyon's physical condition requires someone to help her regulate it, then I might as well be able to help her with that.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to break free of the cage called 'Saintess'.

……

At Terenas's house, Leon briefly explained to Langley why he had just left.

Then he joined Langley in the kitchen and got to work.

Before long, pots of fresh, piping hot stewed and roasted meat were quickly produced under his magical acceleration.

Tonight, he will devour nearly two tons of fresh monster meat, striving to boost his physical stats to an even higher level.

Then, he decided not to sleep that night and instead find a place to practice his combat skills before the Deep Wonder Mode ended.

He had originally considered going to see Iris tonight, but he figured that once he went there, she wouldn't leave easily, and that would mean the Deep Miracle Mode time would be over.

After much deliberation, he decided to practice until Miracle Mode ended before going to find Iris.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The table was covered with leftover bone fragments.

Terena ate a big meal, her little belly round and full, her black pearl-like eyes looking at Leon and Langley, her face full of happiness.

[Character Therina's affection level +2%, 83%]

Chapter 344 Become the Holy Mother, become Gods! Humanity will be glorious because of you.

Lyon examined the changes in his numerical values.

【主要属性：神圣能量容纳量7/精神力24/生命力89/魔力量171/体力94/力量87/敏捷104】

Magic +1, Stamina +5, Strength +6, Agility +3

Wow, it's gone up this much?

Undeniably, I have just completed the upgrade to a fraudster, and many of my bottlenecks have been broken through.

But even if it's 2 tons of monster meat, it's impossible for the amount to increase this much, right?

After all, my score is already very high.

Could it be that the effects of the legendary monster meat from before are still present in the body, and it is only by supplementing the nutrients that are only present in this batch of ordinary monster meat that the body has suddenly increased in size?

Indeed, it was the flesh of a legendary monster, after all; even ordinary monsters would undergo tremendous transformations.

He's only at the third tier. Even if his stats are already high, it's impossible for him to have only increased by the amount he had before after eating dozens of kilograms of legendary monster meat.

This increase is now considered reasonable.

It seems that next time I hunt legendary monster meat, I'll need to find high-level common monster meat with good effects to supplement it.

This way, you can maximize the stats while they're still fresh.

Based on Lyon's experience, when eating monster meat, among monsters of the same rank, freshness is the best, followed by powerful monsters, then rare species, and finally special parts.

If all four are present, the effect will be most outstanding.

It seems the upgrade can be done ahead of schedule.

You can start using it once you get Swift Shadow Slash to level 5.

Because his current strength, physique, and agility stats, except for strength which is still two points short, have all exceeded the three-fold limit of the third tier, reaching the true limit of the current human level.

The limit for ordinary humans is one time the limit, the limit for gifted individuals is two times the limit, and the limit for gifted individuals with rare professions is three times the limit.

Moreover, due to differences in accumulation efficiency, many people will never reach their limit in their lifetime and can only prioritize improving one or two of the following: strength, constitution, magic, and agility.

The seven main female characters and several major bosses in the four-part series are considered to have the combined effects of exceptional talent, rare professions, various opportunities, special gifts (such as Iris's rapid increase in magic power, Terena's special intelligence, and Ophimaso's millennia-old constitution), plus the protagonist's halo, which is not the norm.

Lyon is called a cheater.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Leon began to give Langley a fortune-telling session to deceive her.

This time the process was more rigorous, and also more mysterious.

In the dimly lit room, the flickering candlelight, made lively and agile by his interference and deception, (deceptive candlelight, you are the wind, the wind that flows everywhere).

And some props that look very old and mysterious (an ancient divination prop I found in a second-hand store before, an iron star chart that is just for show), and a reference book on astrological mysticism (a decorative item).

After Lyon spent two minutes going through the entire process, he looked serious and slowly began to speak:

“Langri, write down the divine revelation that the goddess Astalia left for you on this parchment.”

Langley and Terena were already in character, patiently waiting for Leon's next move.

Upon hearing this, Langley was taken aback: "I remember the general pronunciation, and I also studied Gospel script at the Vatican, but the two are completely different. How do you write this?"

"Write down the pronunciations you remember using common letters and spell them out. If you have a vague impression, write down a few reference syllables in parentheses. If you have a strong impression, write them down more accurately."

Lyon said.

Is this okay?

Langley asked.

"Of course, divination is not done out of thin air. The more complete the existing situation, the easier it is to get inspiration from the mysterious destiny. Quick, write it down."

Langley nodded and quickly began to write.

Terena stood on tiptoe, her two small pink hands gripping the corner of the table, trying to decipher the text using the magic books she had learned and the books that recorded mysterious writing, to see if she recognized it.

As a result, she naturally gained nothing.

Lyon speculated that the language used by the goddess Astalia was a language that only higher-dimensional beings could understand, with each syllable having dozens of meanings. When combined, it might seem like a short sentence, but it could reveal countless mysteries.

This language is something that only divine agents could possibly grasp to some extent; it wouldn't be unreasonable to call it a sacred language.

He has now mastered Britta's perfect-level beginner-level Holy Invocation spell and can even decipher some of it.

If you can't figure it out yourself, you can give it to Britta for interpretation.

A little while later, Langley finished writing a text of more than sixty syllables and handed it to Lyon.

Half of them were indistinct syllables, and she marked several similar ones on them.

Lyon watched it carefully for 20 minutes and managed to grasp the general meaning, which made him feel relieved.

Part of it involves Therina, and part of it is a harbinger of Langley's personal fate.

According to the divine revelation, if Langley does not survive this calamity, Therina will also perish quickly in her thirties or forties.

"Langri, good news and bad news."

Terena stared intently at Lyon, afraid of missing any crucial detail.

“You said, Lyon, I’m mentally prepared for anything.”

"The good news is that you can be saved, but the bad news is that if you want to survive your destined death in three months, you must become a core candidate to become the next generation of saintesses of the Holy See during this period."

Langley was shocked by these words.

What the hell?

How could a court knight suddenly be forced to compete for the position of the next saintess?

Admittedly, I should meet the age requirement.

But how could that be possible, given that it's a profession and that she's had children?

"Do not doubt your talent and qualifications. The fact that you received divine revelation shows that you have an exceptional physique. According to the revelation that God Astalia gave you, she actually wants you to become the Virgin Mary, a Virgin Mary who will give birth to future gods. Your entry into the Church as a candidate for sainthood is to obtain divine protection, to protect you from calamities, and at the same time to provide Therena with a safer environment to grow up in."

In this world, the term "Holy Mother" generally refers to the mother of a deity.

From ancient times to the present, there has naturally been more than one Mother Goddess, but since no race has had a case of becoming a god in the last tens of thousands of years, Mother Goddess has disappeared for countless years.

"what do you mean……"

Langley stammered.

"That's right. Since the goddess Astalia expects Terena to become a goddess, you are very likely to become a saint because of your daughter. So, for your sake and for Terena's sake, become a saintess. When Terena ascends to godhood one day, it will be the time when you spread the name of the Holy Mother across the continent, and humanity will also be glorious because of you."

Lyon spoke softly, and to be honest, he was quite surprised when he deciphered the text.

It seems that this was a plan left by the goddess Astalia in this world. In the original story, her plan undoubtedly failed with the fall of Therina. Until the end of the four-part series, she never performed any miracles in the human kingdoms, which led to the decline of the First Church of Humanity.

Terena was also stunned.

However, she was much calmer. After all, she had made up her mind to become the world's strongest magician and believed that she had the wisdom to achieve this goal, so she did not think it was too outrageous.

Leon patted Terena's head and smiled at her:

"See? My judgment wasn't bad, was it? Your talent is recognized even by the gods."

Terena's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Ah."

Wait, helping Terena become a god is only on epic difficulty?

Based on his past experience with missions, Leon judged that the level of magic or combat skills awarded generally corresponded to the level of mission difficulty.
