I cannot channel my power into the mortal realm anymore…
My mind stilled as I realized the scale of the catastrophe. Forget advancing the Velmoryn civilization; unless I was willing to burn 500 Divinity every time I reached down, I wouldn't be able to directly intervene in the coming war against the Night God.
That was impossible. I lacked the reserves to afford such a cost.
Wait. Did that bastard set me up? Did he plan not only the collapse of the Goddess’s barrier but my ascension as well?
If I had remained in the mortal realm, I could have wielded my power freely. It would have been a decisive advantage. Now, the odds, which already seemed stacked against me, looked even more hopeless.
No! Nothing is lost yet. I spent my previous life giving up the moment things got difficult. Never again.
I pushed away negative thoughts and activated Guidance. If the God of Night could use his divinity so frequently, there had to be a way to mitigate the cost.
[The Restriction]
The Mortal Realm is designed to remain free from divine influence. Once a deity gains enough power to defy mortal logic, they ascend, and are no longer able to directly intervene. However, if a deity is willing to pay the heavy price, there is no force that can stop their will.
Aside from that, while direct channeling of divinity is restricted, gods are permitted to lend their power to their devoted believers. Apostles, Priests, or Inquisitors may borrow your strength without penalty. Furthermore, Relics or fragments of a deity may serve as vessels to store divine power.
