Souta's proposal to spit as holy water was firmly rejected by both Chelsea and Kurumi.
Kurumi thought it was far too improper, while Chelsea simply found it disgusting.
"I was just joking, and you two actually took it seriously?"
Souta felt both amused and helpless at their reactions:
"There are at least 200,000 followers here. Even if I tried, I physically wouldn't be able to spit enough for everyone!"
Even if he ate sour plums all day, he wouldn't be able to produce enough saliva for 200,000 people.
Chelsea asked, "So... you didn't have a proper plan before coming here?"
"I did," Souta replied, glancing at his wrist.
"My blood also has healing properties—it can literally bring the dead back to life. If I dilute it with water and keep regenerating more, I should be able to mass-produce healing holy water. If we execute this well, I could easily be worshiped as a God of Life."
His blood's healing power was truly absurd.
In Monogatari, Araragi Koyomi used just a single drop of his blood to heal Hanekawa Tsubasa, whose stomach had been torn open, intestines exposed.
It was basically miraculous resurrection.
Naturally, Souta's blood had the same abilities.
"Your blood, huh... Healing is great, but..."
Chelsea shook her head and said:
"It lacks impact. It doesn't have that 'Oh my god, this is unbelievable!' level of drama."
Kurumi, after imagining the scene in her mind, nodded in agreement.
"Yes... it doesn't feel shocking enough.
Healing holy water could be used as a reward for the most devoted followers.
But as a divine miracle, it feels... underwhelming."
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly suggested:
"Souta, how about... I activate a spatial quake for them?"
"...Are you sure that won't make them think I'm some evil god and fear me instead?"
Souta rejected the idea immediately:
"Besides, in terms of destructive power, some Imperial Arms(Teigu) can do similar things. It won't have the kind of mind-blowing effect we need."
"Then how about we ask the group?" Chelsea proposed.
"Good idea," Souta agreed.
Taking out his system phone, he posted the issue in the chat.
Altair: "So you need something extremely dramatic?"
Chelsea: "Yeah, but it can't just be destruction. This world already has a ton of powerful weapons. Causing destruction won't make people question reality."
Tohsaka Rin: "Souta, don't you have matter creation? Why not wave your hand and create a mountain of gemstones?"
Souta: "I don't have that much energy in my body to make a gemstone mountain. Also... why do I feel like you just want cheap gems?"
Tohsaka Rin: "What's the problem~? You can make them for free, so why not help me get a good deal?"
Souta: "We'll talk about that later—stay on topic."
Altair: "How about reversing aging? Kurumi's Fourth Bullet should be able to do that, right?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Absolutely! That's actually a great idea.
We could pick some elderly followers and, in front of thousands of believers, perform a 'youth restoration' miracle.
I'm sure they'd worship us after witnessing that."
Chelsea: "Kurumi, you can even do that?! That's insane!"
Souta: "Kurumi's ability is time manipulation. With me providing her infinite time, this is effortless.
But we'll have to set some conditions—maybe only reward the most devoted followers.
Otherwise, if everyone gets it, the entire religion will go insane!"
In a world where no one can live forever, showing this kind of miracle...
There's no way the believers would remain rational!
Souta wanted a stable religious order, not a chaotic cult.
Shinobu Oshino: "@Souta. I read through Kurumi's abilities before. Doesn't she also have a bullet that makes things grow?
Instead of focusing on humans, why not use it to instantly grow a tree from a seed?"
Shinobu Oshino: "You've already used the upload system to extract ability cards before, right?
Why not mass-produce that bullet and collect a huge amount of seeds?
Then, when the time comes, you can literally create a forest with a wave of your hand."
Souta: "Shinobu, you're a genius!"
Shinobu Oshino: "There's no need to call me 'Shinobu.' Just use my proper name, Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade."
Souta: "It's been a while since we last talked. When are you visiting the my world?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Yes, it's been quite a while. I'd love to meet you too. Let's plan a get-together sometime."
Shinobu Oshino: "Oh? You've got quite the plans in mind... but I don't mind.
Let's schedule it after I finish my mission."
Shiroyasha Joins the Chat
Great Benevolent God Shiroyasha: "You guys seem to be having an interesting discussion."
Wait—wasn't Shiroyasha busy?
Souta: "Shiroyasha, how's the rescue mission for Canaria going?"
Great Benevolent God Shiroyasha: "Just about to start.
Otherwise, I'd come over to help you with your divine miracle show—it'd be effortless for me."
Souta: "Better not. The flow of time between worlds is different.
If you stay one day in my world, I have no idea how much time would pass in yours.
If that delays your rescue mission, that'd be a disaster."
Actually, Souta could have asked Shiroyasha to upload ability cards, but...
Currently, none of them had enough points to extract anything useful.
Just like how Shiroyasha's attack cards were useless against Takamiya Mio.
Great Benevolent God Shiroyasha: "I figured as much.
But hey, I like you, kid. I might not be able to help with the big stuff, but I can help with the small stuff."
Great Benevolent God Shiroyasha: "You guys were just talking about creating a forest, right?
Hehe... I'll send you a batch of plant seeds from my world.
I guarantee your world doesn't have these."
Souta: "Wait—don't send me something like Rabbit-eating Grass!"
Great Benevolent God Shiroyasha: "Oh? You know about Rabbit-eating Grass?
Don't worry, I won't send any weird stuff.
These are just unsold goods from 'Thousand Eyes.'
Nobody wants them anyway, so they're all yours."
With "youth restoration" and "forest creation", convincing 200,000+ believers would be a piece of cake.
Souta was getting excited now.
As long as he pulled this off, he'd instantly gain enough faith to convert into divine spark.
And divine spark was the ultimate cheat code in any world.
Souta turned to Chelsea and said:
"Chelsea, when you take over as the Lord tomorrow, announce the divine gathering to hear God's will.
Let's organize the event within a few days!"
