With Ragnarok repaired, I spent the rest of the weekend training with Rize to adapt to it.

In its new form, Ragnarok is too large to be called a one-handed axe and slightly short for a two-handed axe.

It’s versatile, so I need to learn various techniques, especially how to use my strength properly.

“You need to use not just your arm strength but also your back muscles. Let me help you with that.”

Luna taught me how to build muscles, and I taught her how to use them precisely.

Living in the forest, I used all my muscles, but I didn’t know how to move them precisely.

Rize’s guidance was a big help in this regard. However, the muscles were not the main point.

“You mean how to use divine power?”

“Yes.”

The main point was divine power. I asked Rize to teach me how to use divine power.

By now, I’ve heard enough about Chaos’s divine power to be sick of it. It often involves a lot of mischief.

But I don’t know how to use divine power itself. I recently realized this.

‘In the Soul World, it came naturally, but not for me.’

In the game, if you were chosen by Chaos, you could use divine power. But not me.

Except for Gulak’s thunder, I knew nothing. Seeing Rize split the sky yesterday made me think.

‘My divine power has exceeded 100. This should work.’

The divine power I accumulated over time had exceeded 100.

As I mentioned before, I had long surpassed the minimum threshold. I was so busy that I forgot.

Anyway, it’s time to use it in daily life and combat. That’s why I asked Rize.

Gulak’s thunder worked with my red mana as a patch, but Chaos’s divine power is different.

“It’s nothing special. Just earnestly wish for it from Lord Chaos.”

“...That’s it?”

“Yes.”

But Rize’s explanation was disappointingly thin. It was like saying if you wish earnestly, the universe will help you.

Seeing my bewilderment, Rize scratched her head, looking like she had nothing more to say.

“I is required. Divine power is essentially the limit of your potential.”

“What about yesterday? You split the sky.”

Not only did she split the sky, but Chaos’s will also imbued Ragnarok.

Even though it was a collaboration with Gulak, it was Rize who channeled Chaos’s will into the sky.

Could this only be possible for a Holy Warrior? If so, that would be a headache.

“Oh, yesterday? That was also possible because I wished earnestly.”

“...”

“You still look confused. Let me ask you instead. How do you control Gulak’s thunder?”

“Hmm...”

Rize’s explanation made more sense now. Thunder did manifest according to my will.

It didn’t require specific spells or words, just like using mana. Gaia would be the same.

It was so natural, like breathing, that no special explanation was needed. Just wish to Chaos.

“How do I verify it?”

“Verify what?”

“Your shrunken chest.”

I pointed to Rize’s diminished chest. Her divine power had somewhat recovered in a day, but her chest was still small, roughly the same size as Luna’s.

“You’re asking how to visually check divine power, like my shrunken chest?”

“Yes.”

“That varies from person to person. My body is like this because it’s blessed by Lord Chaos, but everyone is different.”

What a vague and chaotic god. Still, it’s likely that mana equals divine power.

In the Soul World, there was no gauge for divine power. Only health, mana, and stamina.

Using divine power naturally consumed MP, so it should be similar.

Rize is a unique case, and her divine power depletion is noticeable.

‘I should consider it as mana exhaustion.’

If all mana is depleted, a day won’t be enough to recover. It would take days of rest.T/his chapter is updat/ed by

When physical exhaustion occurs, it takes days to recover, so mana would be the same.

Rize can walk because she’s Rize. Most people would need bed rest for some time.

‘As for me...’

One day of rest fully recharges me. My long-term regeneration is much higher than Rize’s.

Whether to consider this as regeneration, I don’t know, but let’s just move on since it’s beneficial.

Right now, the important thing is to figure out how to use Chaos’s divine power.

“There’s no need to rush. When the time comes, Lord Chaos will help you directly.”

“...Alright.”

“Oh, there’s a way, but...”

When we were almost at Jane’s workshop.

Despite the shabby alley, vigorous hammering sounds filled the air.

The noise source was none other than Jane’s workshop. It was in a poorly equipped area of the academy, so it had to be Jane.

“Is this it?”

“Yes.”

Creak-

When I opened the poorly lubricated door, the hammering sound grew louder.

Simultaneously, the heat hit my face. I winced at the heat but soon got used to it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Finally, I saw Jane hammering in her work clothes.

I didn’t know what she was making, but she looked beautiful working diligently.

However, her sweat made her glasses slide down, which seemed inconvenient.

“Phew... Oh?”

After finishing her work, Jane straightened up and wiped her sweat. Her eyes met mine.

Seeing me, Jane looked surprised, then flashed a bright smile and exclaimed.

“You’re here! I was just finishing up! But...”

She spoke confidently, likely because I was her patron.

But her voice trailed off when she saw Rize next to me. She adjusted her glasses, which had slid down from the sweat.

“Who is this? Your girlfriend?”

“No.”

How could she think that? At my firm denial, Jane nodded as if it didn’t matter.

Meanwhile, Rize looked at Jane with interest and took a step forward.

With just one step, she was right in front of Jane.

“So you’re the one who made a contract with Brother Sivar.”

“Uh, yes. That’s right...”

Jane responded, clearly flustered by Rize’s sudden approach.

Rize scanned her and then smiled, holding out Ragnarok.

“Would you like to hold this?”

“Um... sure.”

Jane hesitated but held Ragnarok. As expected, no lightning sparked.

“What do you think?”

“It’s an unusual weapon. Can I examine it?”

“Sorry, but that’s difficult. It sparks when others touch it.”

Anyone else would have given up immediately.

But Jane had a unique personality. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she asked urgently.

“Really? Now I’m even more curious. Please let me try.”

“Hmm... don’t regret it.”

Saying that, Rize subtly let go of Ragnarok’s handle.

At this rate, lightning should spark, startling her. Like it did with Luna.

“Hmm... it’s fine.”

“What?”

“Huh?”

But nothing happened. Jane held Ragnarok without issue.

Her lack of strength made it hard to hold with both hands, but she managed.

ulak, or...

“Oh...! Ohhh!!”

She was favored by Chaos.

Realizing this, Rize’s reaction was highly excited.

Her face and voice were unusually animated.

“Sister!”

“Yes?”

Rize placed her hand on Jane’s shoulder and shouted.

The force made Jane’s glasses slip down. Her bewildered face looked cute.

“To meet a noble person here! I never expected this!”

“Um... thank you? But who are you?”

“...”

This could be really bad.

[Faith is increasing!]

Yeah, this is bad.
