DESTINY GAMES

She chuckled and said, "That is a loaded question. But I suppose there is no harm in telling you. It shouldn't count as interfering. Then again, if your first demigod knew this information, maybe he wouldn't have made the stupid decisions that he made."

"A god king is the title given to the strongest god. This power can come from two factors. One of them is control, and the other is authority."

"The god king is generally the first demigod to become a god. There can be many demigods, but only the first God can become the demigod."

"The process to become the first God can be easy or tricky. For those who are favored by the will of the world, they will gain control of the core of the world and be able to make the transition from demigod to true god with the assistance of the world."

"These favored demigods can fail the process, but they won't die. They can try again after some preparation. Even if they fail, they can still become false gods. But unflavored demigods won't be so lucky. If normal demigods fail to become true gods, all that awaits them is death."

"So the process of becoming a true god can be easy, or it can be difficult. Either way, the first true god becomes the god king and creates the pantheon with the power of the will of the world."

She lowered her position and let her feet touch the ground. Then she continued, "There is some difference in the Yggdrasil civilization. The Yggdrasil civilization enslaves the will of the world. The power of the world is then condensed into the weave of destiny."

"This way, they can give the favor of the world to any demigod. Usually, this favor goes to the first demigod. The first demigod becomes the first true god and then becomes the god king."

"But that didn't happen in the case of Earth-11. The first demigod of your world refused this privilege and scattered the weave of destiny into rings. This caused two things. The first thing is that for the first time, a paragon could be anyone instead of being a demigod. The second is that the paragon was shackled with the will of the world."

"If you become the god king, you will gain control of the destiny of every being in your world apart from demigods and true gods. That means you will be able to kill them with a thought."

"As the god king, you will also have the authority to determine which demigod gets to use your pantheon to become a true god. Without your permission, it is nearly impossible for any demigod to become a true god. Even if they manage to start the transition to true God in one way or another, it is highly likely that they will die."

"Together, control and authority work together to make you the strongest god. The foundation of gods is faith. If there are 100 gods in your pantheon, they can only share the faith of every living thing in your world amongst themselves. But that is not the case for the god king."

"The god king has control over every being in their world and determines who gets to be god, so the faith of the whole world belongs to the god king too. It doesn't matter how many gods there are, the power of the god king will remain unshakeable."

"While other gods are competing for faith, the god king can just sit back and relax. The god king is like a nobleman who owns land, while the other gods are like serfs who cultivate the land for you."

"God kings are so powerful that only other god kings can influence their decision. In my case, I can work in the army for many years in hopes of becoming a god. But if a god king speaks on my behalf to my god king, then I can become a god king today."

"That is the value of the title of god king. As the paragon, you will face no obstacle in becoming a true god. And when you do become a true god, all the power of your world will belong to you."

"I hope my answer has satisfied you."

Kelvin nodded in satisfaction. "I am very satisfied."

"That brings me joy."

Then she asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

He thought about some of the things he had always wanted to know. One of them popped up in his head, and he couldn't think of anything else, so he asked about it.

"Can you tell me why Yggdrasil came to my world and helped us acquire power even up to the point of helping us create a god king?"

She shook her head. "I'm afraid that I cannot answer that question. The information is top secret. It is something that involves the god kings of the Yggdrasil civilization. If I say something wrong, I might offend them or I might offend you."

"But I will tell you some things that I am relatively sure about. The first thing is that the paragon must not be forced. The choices must be clear with benefits and consequences. Whatever decision is made must be made with the free will of the paragon."

"The second thing I know is that Earth-11 is not the only planet that has been annexed recently by the Yggdrasil civilization. There is an extra Earth, but the process of annexation is not complete, just like Earth-11."

He exclaimed, "Oh. What are these Earths anyway? What makes them different from other worlds like the Umbra world?"

She thought for a while before saying, "I don't know the origin of all of these Earths. Even if I do know, I will refrain from telling you because the information shouldn't come from me. It concerns the reason why Earth-11 was annexed."

"But from what I do know, these Earths are home to humans. Humans are rare in the galaxy, so these Earths are rare too."
