Chapter 342: Domain Divine Grace

After the Heroic Souls began their succession, the "Church of Drama and Revelry" naturally surfaced as well.

This was a resurrected church of a true god, which Dai Niya had known long ago.

Yet only through this process did she have a "reason" to secretly support the church's rise.

On Li En's side, he had merely sent people to preach in Dai Niya's town, not even mentioning benefits or perks, yet a large number of "townsfolk" chose this new faith; perhaps it had something to do with Li En having people distribute eggs and cooking oil to the believers.

It seems these small favors were enough to make many change their faith.

Yes, it was changing faith, not "beginning to believe." In this world, theism has always been the mainstream; regardless of piety, everyone would find some god to believe in, at least to some extent.

However, mortal faith was never fixed. Even Li En himself hadn't expected that the minimum "five hundred" starting number of people could be gathered so quickly.

【Auxiliary Information Support System e03's subsystem e03-1 has been activated.】

This was the first time Li En had seen such an "Earth-style" prompt since the "Great Red Dragon Resurrection" incident.

Who does e03 refer to? Is it that deity? Then, does the subsystem with the additional "-1" designation represent its derivative?

Li En shook his head; there was too little information to make an accurate judgment now. The only thing certain was that "Li Ensu" had indeed done something.

"However, it is truly generous."

【Standard Divine Spells list updated. Acquired Lesser Restoration.】

This aspect seemed repetitive again, but it was within expectations; this divine spell is useful and has low consumption, so many deities like to bestow it upon their believers.

There was not much expectation regarding the quantity and quality of universal divine spells; the power of a newborn deity is very weak. What is more important, in fact, is the benefit brought by the second-circle cleric.

【Second-Circle Cleric, please choose a domain. Current options: 'Arts (Singer)', 'Sun'.】

The stronger the deity, the more choices they can grant. The original God of Drama actually had only one domain, 'Arts', which had little to do with combat; being able to add a bit of bard-like ability was about the limit.

"Sun Domain."

This required no further consideration; the Sun Domain is inherently an extremely powerful divine portfolio.

【Acquired First-Circle Divine Spell Burning Hands, Second-Circle Divine Spell Fire Bolt.】

Two divine spells obtained, but in reality, they were merely imitations of identically named wizard spells. For Li En, this was almost meaningless.

What was meaningful, however, was the next item—Divine Grace.

【Please choose the evolution direction for your Divine Grace domain (Sun).】

"It can actually be chosen?"

Li En was somewhat surprised; usually, a deity gives what they give, and one just uses it. But after Li En examined it carefully, he felt increasingly satisfied.

【Divine Grace: Complete Combustion (Second-Circle): Activate Divine Grace to grant your next ten seconds of flame and radiant evocation spells the most complete combustion effect (similar to an oxygen-enriched state). Twice daily, replenished automatically by the morning sun.】

This is the true strength of a Domain Cleric, and also the reason behind the joke that "the most powerful lightning technique belongs to the Storm Cleric."

It is said that a Storm Cleric can turn an area into a "superconductive state." In such a state, even doubling the lightning damage would be an understatement; one might accidentally electrocute a dragon straight through.

Ultimately, this is authority, a privilege of the gods. Although there are usage limits (frequency and cost), combined with certain supernatural abilities, it becomes "limited but powerful."

Its power's essence operates on a completely different logic and principle from normal spells; it is a certain degree of correction to the world, a true "bug" ability.

The Sun Domain is not quite that outrageous, yet it remains powerful. Merely this "Complete Combustion" can multiply the damage of the original flame and radiant combustion effects several times over.

And this requires no additional consumption. Normal spells, flames, and combustion are actually never complete, whereas this Divine Grace allows all combustion to erupt completely in an instant, greatly increasing instantaneous killing power.
