Chapter 129: The Blessing of Yomi

“Yomi’s power?” I asked.

“Yes, Lord Berg. The same power we felt from the god we confronted is within you,” Amane said.

Amane straightened up and began explaining what was within me.

“Lord Berg, do you know what the gods of Hizuchi are like?”

“Yes… Unlike the continent of Hume, where there is only one god, in Hizuchi, gods exist in everything,” I replied.

On the Hume continent, there is only the god Launas, but in Hizuchi, there are many gods. Some are shared, while others are local deities worshipped in specific regions.

There are gods of many aspects, and the faith in them is unique to Hizuchi.

“That’s right. For example, even the god of death is split into gods who rule over disease or floods… But the god we confronted used many different words of power,” Amane continued.

“Yes, that…” I began to ask, but then I realized. If Amane said that even the god of death was divided, then the one using different words of power for various causes of death must be a very powerful being.

“A being who governs the concept that encompasses everything, we call it the ‘Ōmikami,'” Amane explained.

“Ōmikami…” I whispered.

“Yes, and within you, Lord Berg, is the power of the Ōmikami, specifically the highest-ranking god who governs death,” Amane said.

I felt dizzy at her words. Not only had I faced such a powerful being, but now that very power was inside me.

“Have you noticed any unusual changes? For example, hearing voices or thinking of things differently?” Amane asked.

“No, nothing like that at the moment,” I answered.

“I see…” Amane’s face turned serious. She thought for a while, then shook her head.

“I apologize. At this stage, I cannot give you a definite answer.”

“Do you have any guesses?” I asked.

“…It’s likely a blessing. If we compare it to something from the Hume continent, it would be considered a blessing,” she replied.

“A blessing?”

“Considering that there are no changes in your health or mental state and that you’ve become able to sense the presence of Yomi, I think it’s similar to how gods bless those they favor or deem necessary,” Amane explained.

According to Amane, blessings are when the power of a god resides within someone. For example, the blessing of the god of fire would make someone skilled not only in fire magic but also in fire-related techniques like blacksmithing. For the god of water, they would excel in activities like fishing, and so on.

In my case, the god of death, specifically the highest-ranking one, was within me, and that was the only explanation.

“However, a god like the Ōmikami giving a blessing… And the blessing of the god of death, I’ve never heard of that before. Even if it’s fine now, I can’t be sure…” Amane muttered, sinking back into deep thought. After a while, she looked up at me and asked,

“Lord Berg, you need to return to the Empire, right?”

“Yes, once things settle down, I must return,” I answered.

Amane quietly spoke then.

“Then, would you consider taking Hinowa with you?”
