Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Kanao, this is salvation from God

"And what about 'Night Battle' bestowed by the Revenge Valkyrie?" Shinobu Kocho asked curiously.

She was full of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge about these insights from God.

"'Night Battle,' as the name suggests, enhances your combat abilities at night. It directly negates the disadvantages of nighttime; darkness cannot obstruct your vision. A high-level 'Night Battle' allows you to be one to two times stronger fighting at night than during the day."

"One to two times stronger!" Shinobu Kocho exclaimed in shock.

The Demon Slayers of their Demon Slayer Corps all fought demons at night, which was an absolute disadvantage for humans. If she could be one to two times stronger at night than during the day, what demon could possibly be her match?

"It's more than just one to two times. If your skills and magic unleash their maximum power, they will at least temporarily surge by about four to five times," Xia Wei said.

Shinobu Kocho's abilities were incredibly comprehensive, encompassing amplification, support, and healing.

With just the 'Poison Doctor' skill and magic, she barely needed to fight; the Wisteria poison alone could silently poison a demon to death, and even an Upper Rank wouldn't last long.

Furthermore, her physical prowess, even with only extreme amplification, could directly match an Upper Rank's.

The 'Revenge Valkyrie' skill allowed Shinobu Kocho's strength to temporarily surpass that of her enemies when she encountered them.

"So powerful!" Shinobu Kocho felt terrifyingly strong at this moment.

She had only just received the Favor of God, and her basic abilities were still at 0, yet the skills she gained alone made her this powerful.

How powerful would she become after leveling up?

"This is just the beginning. You will truly become powerful when you level up to a Dominator of Lv.7 or higher. Intimidating an entire nation alone will be effortless, but that is still a long way off for you," Xia Wei said with a smile, outlining the blueprint for Shinobu Kocho.

Although his Grace System seemed similar to that of the Blue Ribbon world,

its essence was far stronger than the Blue Ribbon's.

Reaching Lv.5 allowed one to single-handedly conquer a fully armed city, and a Lv.7 Dominator could single-handedly crush an entire nation's army, with destructive power capable of wiping out cities.

Speaking of which, his current destructive power seemed to be on par with a Lv.9 Mage.

However, he used Authority, which was a rule; beings below God were instantly obliterated.

Once his Divinity was filled with divine power and he became a true God, his true power would be nation-destroying.

This 'nation-destroying' didn't mean conquering a country, but truly making the territory of a large country, over a million square kilometers, disappear directly.

It was akin to erasing a country the size of India from the map.

India is also a subcontinent, so a God is at least subcontinent-level.

Hmm... that's still very far off for him, it would take at least three or four years.

Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes flickered with a thirst for knowledge, blinking as she looked at him, seemingly urging him to continue. Xia Wei chuckled.

"Finally, let's talk about magic. Magic is the crystallization of miracles, causing supernatural phenomena, similar to Blood Demon Art. Its effects vary in strength; powerful magic can even rival the Authority of God."

"However, magic comparable to the Authority of God is extremely rare."

"Magic is also divided into innate magic and acquired magic. Innate magic, as the name suggests, is magic that is naturally present when one receives a Blessing."

"Acquired magic is later obtained through learning or certain wondrous items."

"Although they are both magic, innate magic continuously strengthens as one grows stronger, possessing infinite growth potential, while acquired magic does not have this growth potential."

"And Shinobu, your magic, 'Healing Wisteria,' is a rare healing magic that dispels abnormal statuses. If used on non-humans, it will reverse, turning the healing into a curse-like effect."

Shinobu Kocho took a deep breath and carefully folded the A4 paper.

Although she still somewhat understood and somewhat didn't, she now grasped some of the power she possessed after receiving the Blessing.

It was incredibly powerful; she even had the confidence to kill the Demon King, Kibutsuji Muzan, if she encountered him.

"Thank you, Lord Xia Wei," Shinobu Kocho said with great reverence as she put the folded A4 paper into her pocket, her eyes already filled with a light similar to that of a devout believer.

"You're shy again now, aren't you? I still prefer the straightforward you from when you made your wish to me, hehe," Xia Wei teased slightly.

"However, you don't need to be so reserved with me, after all, Shinobu, you are already my kin."

"Yes, Lord Xia Wei," Shinobu Kocho patted her chest, feeling warmth in her heart. Lord Xia Wei truly was a benevolent and gentle God.

Thinking of something, she looked at Kanawo, who was quietly eating pastries beside her, then back at Xia Wei, hesitating to speak.

Shinobu Kocho's emotions could not be hidden from Xia Wei. Now a demigod, his perception was entirely on a divine level; he could sense even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Do you want me to bestow a Blessing upon Kanawo as well?" Xia Wei smiled. He had already planned to do so; since he was here, he would give it to her too.

As one of the five main characters, Kanawo's talent was in no way inferior to a Hashira's.

"Can I?" Shinobu Kocho's eyes held anticipation.

Xia Wei didn't answer immediately but looked at Kanawo, extending his hand to touch her head.

Kanawo didn't dodge. His palm covered her head, warm and comforting. Kanawo's purplish-pink eyes looked at God before her, and a slight change appeared in her smile. She lowered her head, seemingly to make it easier for him to stroke her.

Xia Wei looked at Kanawo, who was so obedient, with tenderness in his eyes. He recalled Kanawo's childhood experiences again, and his voice softened a little.

"Kanawo, do you want a Blessing? To gain greater power and eliminate all demons in the world?"

When asked, Kanawo's thin lips twitched slightly, her body stiffened a little, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her cheeks.

God asked me a question...

What, what should I do...

What should I do? The coin, the coin in my pocket...

Shinobu Kocho looked at Kanawo, who, as always, froze when asked a question and couldn't make a choice. She sighed softly, but her eyes held anticipation.

Xia Wei's gentle voice sounded.

"Fortunate people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives, while unfortunate people spend their entire lives healing from childhood. Unfortunately, Kanawo, you are the latter."

"You were born into a violent family, with seven older siblings and three younger siblings. Your father and mother not only never took any responsibility, but even basic sustenance was a luxury."

"Under your parents' domestic violence, some children even died from brutal abuse. Of course, you could not escape unharmed from such demonic parents."

At this point, Xia Wei's hand moved down to caress Kanawo's eyelids. A normal person would blink when their eyes are touched, but she didn't.

"Fortunately, you have a keen pair of eyes, which allowed you to avoid being hit in vital spots and losing your life."

When he first read the manga, Xia Wei felt immense pity for Kanawo. How could parents be such beasts?

"You certainly suffered and grieved, but crying only brought cold, heartless blows."

"To survive, the only thing you could do was suppress yourself, suppress, and suppress again."

"But constant self-suppression, even the strongest mind will eventually break down, until self-awareness is completely suppressed and devoured, and the mind is completely sealed, gradually becoming unable to feel pain or express emotions."

"Even when you were finally sold to human traffickers by your parents, you felt no sadness."
