=========================

The first number that caught my eye was the number of believers, which had increased by more than 80,000 users in the mortal world in just one day, a number that I would probably not be able to reach now that I only relied on Arcantor and Eldoria, which were already saturated.

But the number that really caught my attention was the amount of Divine Power I had received in that time...

Unlike before, when I only received the profit from 3 hours of mortal Internet use and still had the huge cost of using it to keep the [School] application active, now that cost had practically disappeared!

Of course, the cost was still there, so much so that this cost caused the average Divine Power I spent on the Internet to drop from the original 0.425 Divine Power points per hour to 0.5 Divine Power points per hour, as if taking away the efficiency I had perfected over the past few ranks.

But considering that the cost of the [School] application had disappeared, I was still making a profit!

And if I went up to an Elementary Divinity, that cost would really drop, or just give me more room to improve the Internet and develop more features!

But for now, I was satisfied.

Before I went to bed, I changed the Divine Source I was using for the Internet audios from my own Divinity to Lucy\'s Divinity channel.

The only thing I had to do now was to calculate her percentage to give her the fair Divine Power for the profit I had received.

Unfortunately, I was so tired that I couldn\'t develop the method of PIC spent on the Internet to more easily calculate how much I had to pay her, so I had to manually analyze the data from the Internet and calculate for myself how much I should transfer to her.

Since our gods were connected through our pantheon, I was able to transfer divine power to her as if we had an instant payment application like in my previous world.

To calculate the amount she would receive, I had to calculate the number of illiterate believers who used the [School] app, which was 90% of the current believers, calculate the 50% profit on the Divine Power received, and on top of that profit I would take her 20% share, resulting in a transfer of 85,204 Divine Power points to Lucy today.

It wouldn\'t be difficult to calculate this every day, but the ideal way would be to just automate it so that the number of Divine Power I had to transfer to her would automatically show up every day, or even a way to automatically transfer that amount to her.

And that was one of my focuses for today.

While my divine conscience was traveling to Arcantor, ready to start developing this functionality to automatically calculate how much I should transfer to Lucy every day using the method I had thought of to make PIC coins usable on the Internet as credits in a cyber cafe, my main body was focused on studying Lucy\'s mastery of divinity to improve my combat power.

Unfortunately, my development of this function of Premium Internet Coins had to be postponed when I returned to the mortal world and felt a divine power approaching the capital of Arcantor at high speed.

Confused, I frowned and flew with my divine consciousness to the path this deity was taking to Arcantor.

As I flew, I used Divine Power to scan the Internet as quickly as possible, trying to find clues as to what might be going on, and to my surprise, there really was something!

The believers of Valoria began to post confused messages when they realized that several thunderclaps had appeared a few minutes ago, with similar messages appearing from users on the border of Arcantor, and new messages appearing every few minutes from users closer to the capital of the kingdom.

Reading these posts, I already understood what was happening.

Zack Gale, the God of Thunder, might have just rested in Valoria and was now heading for Arcantor, flying toward my kingdom at high speed.

I didn\'t know if he was going to attack me directly or try to talk to me, but I wasn\'t in the mood to find out peacefully.

Just the fact that he sent his divine consciousness to Arcantor in such a scandalous manner was a clear sign of disrespect, something that could easily start a war.

This could be a huge problem for ordinary gods, as Zack was probably very powerful at this point, having received prayers from his kingdom in addition to the new believers he had gained in Valoria.

Sure, he must have used up a lot of divine power fighting the mountain god, but I wouldn\'t doubt that he was still very strong.

And if it was the Adrian of two days ago, Zack could really be a threat to me now, because if he came with 600k Divine Power points to attack, I wouldn\'t be able to defend that easily, since I would need at least 5 million Divine Power points to be able to compare with his Divine Power usage efficiency.

But it was different now.

Not only did I rely on my Creativity Domain, but I also had access to the Waves Domain...

With such a powerful domain and such a low cost of Divine Power that such attacks would require, it was practically impossible for Zack to do anything really threatening to me with the 4 million Divine Power points I currently had, so a huge smile appeared on my face as I floated down the path where Zack was coming from, and I just smiled as I waited for him.

Maybe with a little surprise?

=== Zack Gale POV ===

As I flew around Arcantor, I looked down at the mortals below, looking for the look of fear and amazement that all the mortals who had seen me everywhere had on their faces, but although some of them actually had that look, most of them just looked confused and went back to reading the books they were holding.

This confused me.

How could they not be afraid of me? Weren\'t they afraid of another god appearing in their realm?

When I invaded Valoria, the mortals were frightened and almost scared to death when they heard my thunder roar in the sky, because they had already suffered from one god demanding prayers for them, and now that another god had appeared, they were very afraid.

But strangely enough, the people in Arcantor were stupid and couldn\'t understand what was going on.

Well, it\'s a good thing that they were stupid, because if I really asked for their prayers, their stupidity would make them even more afraid of me, and they would worship me just like the idiots in my kingdom.

I just can\'t understand how my uncle thinks that the God of this kingdom could pose any danger to me...

Not only is the kingdom made up of idiots, but the god of this kingdom is Innovashine...

Even if he has a huge number of followers, or even if he has reached the 9th rank of embryonic divinity in some way I can\'t imagine, he\'s still just a good-for-nothing with a weak divinity...

When he first arrived at the school, I was even a little intimidated to learn that he had a full divinity, but after seeing that he was ten times weaker than all the other students at the school, my fear of him disappeared, leaving only disdain for his weak personality and the wasted potential in the hands of someone like him.

Even if he was a Rank 9 Embryonic Divinity now, what difference would it make if he was weaker than a Rank 4 Embryonic Divinity?

I could have become a Rank 8 Embryonic Divinity whenever I wanted, so he was nothing special.

But even though I didn\'t agree with my uncle, I still decided to come to Arcantor so that I could finish Innovashine soon and go back to conquering other kingdoms.

With the amount of Divine Power I had now, I knew that it was more than enough to deal with a good-for-nothing like Innovashine.

And as I flew quickly to the capital of Arcantor, I felt a Divine Power hovering in the middle of my path.

Since there was no other god in this realm, there was only one logical answer to who was the idiot standing in my way.

Smiling, I didn\'t think much of it and began to recharge my Divine Power while preparing to catch him unawares with a sneak attack.
