You are all my wings!

Is my current foundation truly sufficient to become an apostle?

Is this reasonable?

He hadn't even advanced to the fifth rank of his own mage class yet.

Is it because he has mastered multiple King-level perfect magic spells, as well as the three-mystery version of the natural disaster cold wave secretly passed down by Taiya Mishili?

Or is it that legendary Shadowless ability?

Or is it because it combines several other rare professions and multiple modes?

Especially the two professions he created himself, the fraudster and the miracle astrologer, have even greater influence?

"Are you wondering why you were assigned here?"

Margaret asked.

"Of course, what surprises me even more is that you're in the same partition as me."

Lyon said.

Margaret's eye twitched. "What, is it rude of us to be in the same division?"

"No, no, I just have doubts about the method used to determine the path to godhood."

Lyon found it amusing. So, all little girls are the type with extremely strong self-esteem?

Maggie was like that, and so was Margaret.

"What suspicion?"

Margaret crossed her arms, her small frame tilting her head back to scrutinize Lyon.

"For example, no matter how profound my foundation is, it's impossible for me to be in the same division as three of you demigods or higher, right? Besides, you are a god, and even if you don't seem to have fully recovered, you are still beyond my reach."

This sentence was transmitted by Leon.

Upon hearing this, Margaret's expression softened slightly, and she lowered her arms behind her back, looking like a little adult.

"That's also my question, but I think it might be related to some of your achievements."

[Goddess Margaret's favorability +2%, current favorability 6%]

"Achievement?"

Lyon seemed lost in thought.

"That's right. It is said that if a person can achieve many things that are unprecedented in mythology, they will receive many bonuses when their background is assessed."

"For example, what types of things qualify as achievements?"

Although Lyon asked the question, he already had some answers in his mind.

Margaret said, "You successfully used a powerful seventh-tier secret treasure when you were advancing to the fifth rank. This is an achievement that will greatly change the history of mythology. If you become a god in the future, this special record will surely be presented in some form during the long process of ascending to godhood, for future generations to admire."

Lyon sensed that although Margaret's expression was calm, her tone was somewhat sour.

Hey, this guy is pretty cute, not too hard to understand.

Is there anything else?

"Also, for example, as a pioneer in a profession, you, a miracle astrologer, can most likely also increase the bonus to your foundational abilities."

Margaret said, a look of confusion on her face:

"However, with just these two, plus your current combat strength comparable to the seventh rank, I think you can only support yourself to the Epic Division at most, or even the Demigod Division, let alone the Apostle Division."

Leon understood that most of his wives were in the Epic and Demigod sections, and the slightly lesser ones would probably be in the Legendary section.

It seems that the profession of fraudster provides a significant boost to this skill level assessment.

In addition, multiple perfect-level spells of intermediate, upper, and king rank will likely also be useful.

All in all, he pushed himself into the Apostle Division.

No wonder Astalia was so confident that she could defeat Feherrotija with her superior skills.

However, there is a concern that one's inherent abilities might be overly boosted by various extra achievements, making it impossible to demonstrate any difference in the actual Godhood Trial.

"It seems you still have some trump cards up your sleeve. Tell me, what else do you have?"

Margaret stroked her small chin, thoughtfully observing Leon.

How could Lyon possibly reveal the core weapon of the con artist?

He then laughed and said:

"I have so many trump cards up my sleeve, I just don't know which one will get me here."

"Tsk, you really did have an even stronger trump card up your sleeve."

Margaret looked completely certain.

"Instead of discussing this, I think we should talk about how to proceed with the Godhood Trial?"

Lyon changed the subject.

“Normally, the Godhood Trial would begin as soon as you enter here, but there has been no movement so far. Perhaps it is because the Godhood Advancement Stage is suppressed and is starting slowly.”

Margaret shook her head in confusion.

Lyon understood. Since the start-up was slow, he would take the opportunity to advance to the next level and increase his chances of winning. He could digest the enlightenment intensity of advancing to the second level in no time.

This time, let's increase our knowledge of miracle alchemy as we advance to the next level.

Immediately, he closed his eyes slightly, activated the six modes, and chose to accept the advancement enlightenment of the Miracle Astrologer.

boom!!!!

The soul soared into the sea of ​​knowledge.

With the blessing of Divine Mode, Leon quickly searched for and absorbed knowledge related to alchemy and material divination.

The bonuses from the Invincible Mode were not small. Due to the increased physical resistance, he found that his soul could swallow a large amount of knowledge without feeling full. So he swallowed a knowledge cloud several times larger than usual.

Therefore, although this was only a second-order level of divination knowledge, he absorbed many times more than a regular second-order level knowledge in one go.

【主要属性：窥命力45/神圣能量容纳量7/精神力107/生命力178/魔力量536/体力228/力量205/敏捷232】

Spirit +6, Vitality +2, Mana +4, Stamina +2, Strength +2, Agility +3

Aside from mental strength, the increases in other attributes were not significant. After all, it was only a second-tier advancement, and it would be good enough if it could improve the limits of the attribute bottlenecks.

More crucial core skills.

[Miracle Catcher: Added enhancement to the capture of material miracles, effectively capturing the only remaining miracle amidst drastic material changes. Miracles with a one in ten thousand probability can be captured with a 100% success rate, and miracles with a one in one hundred thousand probability can be captured with a 10% success rate.]

【Eye of Miracles: Allows for a moderate understanding of the probability of different miracles occurring during material changes. The higher one's basic understanding of the change, the higher the success rate of this observation.】

Huh, I already have a new skill at only level two?

Not bad, not bad. The effects of the Miracle Catcher's skill perfectly match the Miracle Alchemy magic I fabricated. It seems that the bonus from the previous deception also had some effect, allowing me to get closer to more related knowledge clouds when I entered the Sea of ​​Knowledge.

With this skill combined with interference fraud, it feels like I could try to make a nuclear bomb by hand.

Lyon was just about to test the specific effects.

Just then, Castiglione walked over, and Leon opened his eyes to look in the direction she was coming from.

She gave Lyon a slight nod, her face, almost identical to Britta's, of pristine elegance.

"I haven't greeted you yet. Since the gods have asked you to help me, Leon, please guide me from now on."

Her attitude was quite good, and her voice was gentle, bright, and light, though a trace of her previous hoarseness remained.

Her skin was arguably the whitest Lyon had ever seen, devoid of any color, so pale it was almost sickly and heartbreaking.

Her snow-white gauze dress and exceptionally white skin complemented each other, her expression was slightly weak and tired, but her eyes were very firm. For Lyon, she seemed to see a delicate yet resilient white lotus flower in the wind.

Lyon returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, Your Excellency Castiglione. I'm not familiar with this place either, and I'm afraid I won't be of much help to you."

Castiglione smiled, her pale red lips slightly pursed: "The God never does anything meaningless. Although you look like you're only at the fifth level, you must have many extraordinary abilities. I still have a lot to learn from you."

As expected of someone who was once the Pope, and as expected of the woman Astalia valued, her attitude was truly refreshing. In terms of gentleness, she was comparable to Hamra.

Lyon looked surprised.

Castiglione smiled again at Leon's reaction:

"What, you seem to have some doubts about me?"

"I once heard from the gods that you were once extremely obsessed with the issue of lifespan..."

"I see. No wonder. I was indeed extremely stubborn back then. In order not to let down the gods, I had to become a god no matter what. It was because of this obsession that I got involved in the forbidden field of life alchemy, experimenting on myself and squandering my lifespan. If I don't make any further progress, I probably won't live for more than a few months."

Castiglione spoke of her impending death with such composure, which only enhanced her captivating allure through her serene and holy demeanor.

Lyon couldn't help but think that it would be wonderful if he could have sex with Castiglione and Britta, two sisters who were almost identical but had completely different personalities.

Moreover, one was the Pope and the other was a saintess who was about to become the Pope, which did indeed arouse his heart a little, so he quickly suppressed the thought.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. The goddess Astalia arranged for me to help you in order to resolve your lifespan issue. I will do my best to help you get out of this situation."

"Indeed, much of the knowledge in the field of life alchemy recorded by Moretes was originally written by you. I knew the handwriting on those documents looked familiar."

Feherotija's voice came, and everyone turned to look.

She stood before the temple, her tall, graceful figure leaning like a bamboo shoot, her rose-red lips slightly parted, revealing a faint smile:

"It's pitiful that you've tormented yourself to such a state. I have to thank you, Castiglione, without which I would never have been able to come up with that method of digesting top-tier demons."

"No thanks necessary."

The moment Castiglione saw Florodia, the gentle expression on her face vanished, replaced by a slightly cold one.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved in the field of life alchemy."

"Don't say that. I only noticed your shortcomings when I first met you, so I offered you some advice. In the end, wasn't it you who became addicted to this field?"

Florotija shook her head and said:

"After all, you should have heard of my reputation and know that I do things honestly and never do these kinds of things."

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows what you're secretly plotting? Back then, your Dragonkin Empire was eyeing our human kingdom with covetous intent!"

Castiglione said coldly:

“If the gods hadn’t already taken you under their command, I would have fought you to the death this time.”

She suddenly became incredibly fierce, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Leon was somewhat surprised; it seemed this was the real her.

With such fierce determination, it's no wonder that he would push his life alchemy experiments to the point where his own lifespan would plummet.

Just then, Lyon noticed that his surroundings had suddenly changed drastically.

Around the temple, unparalleled divine power was released, like thunderclaps crashing down from nowhere.

The entire wide platform began to vibrate.

The place where they stood was somewhat unsteady, which was truly ferocious.

Fei Heluotijia's eyes flickered slightly: "Interesting. The Trial of Ascension to Godhood has begun? If you want to fight, let's use this Trial of Ascension to Godhood as the subject of our contest, how about we have a match?"

Castiglione laughed, her voice bright and cheerful: "Alright! I'll compete with you in terms of the power gained from this Trial of Godhood!"

Lyon, standing nearby, transmitted his voice: "Sir, you don't have much life left. If you fight like this now, won't you just deplete your energy even faster?"

Castiglione then gently transmitted her voice:

“You don’t need to worry. I once heard a saying somewhere, ‘One’s energy is strongest at the first attempt, then weaker at the second, and finally exhausted at the third,’ which I think makes a lot of sense. Right now is my final moment to break through to the realm of gods. If I don’t find a powerful opponent and burn everything, how will I have a chance to break through the limitations of this long path to godhood and ascend to godhood in one fell swoop?”

Lyon was somewhat surprised; her attitude towards him had remained unchanged from beginning to end.

It seems she deliberately caused trouble for Feherotija, taking the initiative to provoke her.

Clearly, she has reached a critical juncture, a point where she either burns to the point of sublimation or is reduced to ashes.

"In that case, sir, let me lend you a hand."

"A helping hand?"

"Let's have a competition, so you'll have even more motivation to burn your fire."

Lyon laughed:

"We'll compete for the same prize: fragments of power. If I win, you'll grant me one request, how about it?"
