God of Internet

Chapter 92: Interest

"He never ceases to amaze me..." I said in shock as I looked at the screen where Adrian Innovashine's battle had just taken place.

Ever since I realized the genius of young Innovashine when he had less than ten thousand followers and was only a Rank 3 Embryonic Divinity, it had become difficult to keep up with other students.

Even Zack Gale and Lucy Wavecrest had their genius diminished compared to the young Innovashine.

Seeing how they relied on weekly prayers to grow, while Innovashine grew with several daily prayers was something that couldn't even be compared.

The battle with Zane Dreadmourne, the alliance with Lucy Wavecrest, the conquest of kingdoms from less than 10,000 followers to the millions he had now, the battle with Zack Gale...

All the progress the boy had made in just over a month had brought him to a level that many gods took years, decades or even centuries for some, depending on the god's divinity, something that might never happen, but for the young Innovashine... it all seemed too easy.

Such a creative use of his divinity could only come from the God of Creativity...

One doubt that remained in my mind until his first battle was how he would use his divinity for battle, but to see him create life and use it for battle was shocking.

I had forgotten that this was actually within the scope of the full divinity he possessed...

Since this resource was extremely expensive, costing hundreds of times more to create a life and giving it a certain strength to attack instead of just attacking directly, I never thought that the young man would use this method to attack.

But not only did he use it to attack, he was successful with it and managed to turn it into a way to gain even more Divine Power, giving mortals the opportunity to generate Divine Power for him and the chance to summon these creatures as well...

In this way, he received an immense profit from Divine Power and only had to spend Divine Power when mortals needed to summon the creatures.

Unfortunately, this was a method that only he could use... I couldn't even imagine how I could use such an application with my divinity to obtain more Divine Power in the future...

As the God of Rain, I could even sell rain for prayers, where each prayer represented one point, just like Innovashine's iMonsters, and the believers only needed to collect a 2x amount of points, where the cost for me to summon the rain was 1x and the other 1x was profit for me.

The idea sounded good and had a future, but how could I make it work?

I didn't have a way to calculate the prayers of each believer, I didn't have a way to show the believers how many points they had collected to convert into rain...

Innovashine's innovation had thousands of creative applications for the most diverse deities in the divine realm, but who could replicate what he could do without the "Internet" he developed?

When I saw the deal he made with Lucy Wavecrest to use her deity on his Internet, as he came up with a completely new application of it that could earn her millions of Divine Power Points every week, I have to admit that even I was jealous...

Even though I was a new teacher in the Divine School who had already reached the rank of Unique God in less than 100 years, compared to Adrian Innovashine who was one Great Rank below me and even Lucy Wavecrest who was two Great Ranks below me, I felt envious.

That's because I could see the potential that Innovashine's "Internet" had and how it would benefit them.

Unfortunately, it seemed to have nothing to do with me.

Even though I was a teacher at the Divine School with the rank of sergeant in the Divine Army, I knew that in the eyes of the greater gods, or maybe even Innovashine, I might be so small that I wouldn't be worth much to them.

But my perspective changed...

It changed when the demon invasion began and Zane Dreadmourne returned.

When he appeared in Innovashine's territory, I thought that would be the end of him, but his request to be recruited by Innovashine shocked me.

And Innovashine's acceptance of his request shocked me even more.

From what I had seen of the Internet's development over the next few days, Dreadmourne's deity was nowhere near as useful to the Internet as Lucy Wavecrest's deity.

It was obvious that Innovashine only accepted the Dreadmourne because it wanted an ally and perhaps saw potential in it for the future, but now it added almost nothing to the Internet.

Even with the development of the [Fear Trial] application, it was clear that the Dreadmourne's divinity wasn't that useful.

Until the battle that had just taken place...

As a rank 2 Unique God, I could clearly sense that the griffin that Innovashine summoned to battle was made using Dreadmourne's divinity as a base!

He probably used the Fear God to lower the cost of his own Creativity God to create this creature! That's what I thought.

As soon as I understood this reasoning, I thought of something else.

A blue snake that Adrian developed into a creature resembling a majestic dragon...

If the Dreadmourne deity could be useful for the development of the griffin, couldn't a deity like mine be useful for reducing the cost of the water snake?!

Just by joining the Innovashine Pantheon, Dreadmourne was already receiving a huge amount of Divine Power every day, to the point where he was probably receiving more than when he ruled Eldoria alone!

All because he has access to 20% of the income of the more than 2 million Innovashine worshippers who pray to him several times a day...

If I offered to join Innovashine's pantheon, would he accept me?' I thought excitedly.

Even though I was a unique god who had reached this rank in less than 100 years, a very short time for most gods, I still had the ambition to climb even higher.

And seeing how Innovashine was growing, it's likely that he'll even catch up with me in a few years, so I can't even imagine how high he'll be in 100 years.

If I could get on that train and enjoy the ride, even if I wasn't sitting in first class like Lucy Wavecrest, who has an extremely useful Internet deity, just a seat in economy would be great for me.

With that in mind, I decided to focus even more on developing Adrian Innovashine and use the rest of the testing time to really decide how I would act, what approach I could take, and how I could offer my divinity in a way that would interest him.

I guess I can use my free time to try to further hone my affinity with the water of my rain deity... I thought as I looked at the clock.

What I didn't know was that I wasn't the only one with this thought.

With so many teachers paying attention to this test, even more so after the demon invasion, something that drew even more attention to it, greedy and envious eyes turned to the students who were taking it, and with the elimination of Zack Gale, the vast majority of those eyes turned to Adrian Innovashine...

How he would deal with this in the future was something he would have to consider very carefully...
