Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 1450: The Importance of Karma

The next day.

Vivian was going back and forth, bringing one item after another as she prepared for the summoning ritual.

"Is she summoning a new familiar?" Luna asked.

Luna, Evelyn, Bella, Melissa, and even Revon were watching her. After all, they were quite curious about Vivian and Nathan, who would summon his new familiar after her.

This would be their first time witnessing a unique summoner summon his unique familiar after all.

Bella confirmed it with a nod, while Evelyn added, "I heard she is planning to summon a goddess of earth. No, it’s more appropriate to call her the mother of the world."

"Before, it was the godfather of the world and now the mother of the world?" Melissa interjected playfully.

"Don’t say that." Bella shook her head. "In the end, that goddess is said to be one level above normal goddesses. According to Nathan, she is one level stronger than your Magic Goddess Rakusha, Luna."

"Oh?!" Luna was impressed. "As long as all of you can get stronger, I don’t mind whether you are better than me or not."

"As expected of you." Bella chuckled.

"You ready?" Nathan entered the room while bringing a bottle of his blood. It contained ten drops, so it should be enough for the goddess according to Xolotl.

"Your blood? Why do you give your blood, Husband?" Luna asked.

Mae, behind Nathan, was actually the one answering her. "His blood is precious because of the amount of karma he has.

"No one has more karma than him, at least I have never seen or heard of one personally.

"You should know karma is important, right? After all, karma is related to belief to a certain extent, and it’s also a unique source of power that doesn’t belong to our dimension.

"You might have seen this all around the world. There are religions, whether they are fake or not.

"If they are not fake, their deity would definitely perform a miracle.

"This miracle will make your believers gather faith for you. This faith can be used to strengthen yourself. It can be said to be a shortcut if you want to get stronger.

"There are even gods and goddesses who are able to turn the faith into pure ena, which makes them stronger without worrying about their power diminishing.

"If people lose faith or their religion gradually disappears from the world, the amount of faith they receive will become less and they will become weaker.

"So, with this system, you should now know the importance of miracles, right?"

Luna nodded. "Yes. How about karma?"

"Karma is a bit more important than that." Mae clapped her hands. "First of all, if you perform a miracle, you will have a bond with them, and this bond will generate karma.

"If that person uses your miracle to do good, you will receive good karma. If that person does bad things, you will receive bad karma.

"That’s why unless you are insane or desperate, you won’t perform miracles easily. You need to understand the true nature of the person you plan to bless.

"It’s even understandable to have a saint or saintess to guide them. Everyone doesn’t really want bad karma, but if they have enough good karma, they can ignore the bad karma to a certain extent.

"Master has abundant good karma. As such, his blood becomes precious since blood is not the only thing that is sacrificed to summon her familiar. The karma that is carried by that blood is also sacrificed.

"Deities want something like this for the various reasons I told you earlier."

"Oh!" Luna nodded in understanding. It wasn’t weird for Luna to be interested in this topic.

She, too, would eventually become one of those deities. Although she pursued a path similar to Fenrir or Xolotl, karma and faith were bound to appear whether she wanted them or not.

Evelyn and Bella were also listening in the background.

Mae waved her hand. "That’s all. Let’s watch the summoning for the time being."

"Before that, I should probably tell you something." Xolotl raised one finger. "Those who have become true gods will understand how important karma is.

"After all, one of the reasons I could become a true god is because of that karma. In other words, karma is also one of the secrets if you want to become a true god."

"!!!" Mae was the one surprised this time. It seemed she had underestimated the value of karma too much.

"For you guys, it shouldn’t be a problem. Just ask your summoner to give you a portion of his karma, it should be fine. But there is still the law of equivalent exchange. For you and Peng, it should be fine, but for the rest... Well, are you willing to lower your pride and serve the summoner to become a true god or try something else and you might succeed after a few thousand years?"

Xolotl laughed.

Mae smiled wryly. That was definitely not a laughing matter. "We still can create our own religion, you know?"

Xolotl shrugged. "I’ve told you the secret. What you will do is not up to me."

"Well..." Mae sighed. "That kind of discussion can wait. Let’s focus on the current summoning first."

Xolotl just moved to the corner and crossed his arms, staring at the summoning circle.

Nathan didn’t know how much karma it needed, but this karma might become his greatest weapon against the aliens and the black cell.

So, he would proceed with that intention in mind. In fact, selling the magic weapons cheap on Gratzel might not be a mistake.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t do anything yet with the information Xolotl had just provided.

Nathan nodded to Vivian, apologizing for the disturbance and giving her the signal to begin.

Once everyone had cleared up the space for her, Vivian started channeling her power into the magic circle.

"O’ Miracle of the World, Divine Being of Summoning, please use my body as the beacon and grant the beloved being your passage. By my name, Vivian Lorelei, heed my call and come forth to this world, the great being of another world."
