?1713 Origin Force Points
"Origin Force Absorption, huh? But what's its purpose?"
Eren pondered, his attention fixed on the unfolding prompts.
In the following moment, a description materialized, offering insights into the newly unlocked function within the Mesh.
[ Origin Force Absorption: Within close proximity, the user gains the ability to convert an array of emotions directed at them into Origin Force Points through the Mesh.
The Origin Force Points signify the intensity of emotions the user has invoked in others, represented in numerical form. It's important to note that only living beings with genuine souls born out of Creation will be considered for Origin Force Absorption. ]
"Oh!" Eren exclaimed, a realization dawning as he absorbed the details of Origin Force Absorption.
"That's what's up, huh!
That's why gods and demons are so dedicated to amassing followers. Mortal souls act as conduits for them, allowing the extraction of Origin Force. The more devoted the mortals are to their faith, the more efficient conduits they become.
Mortals are essentially batteries for these deities, usable once accepted into their faith. The emotions invoked by these immortals in their followers directly influence the efficacy of the Origin Force drawn.
This explains the structured rules and regulations in their faiths. They are there to turn them into better conduits of the Origin Force– better batteries.
For instance, Ishgaar's divinity revolves around Solitude. The more followers contemplate and invoke feelings of solitude, the more Origin Force he can draw from them."
Eren's deduction proved accurate as he delved deeper into the Origin Force Absorption description.
[ As per the user's divinity and demi-god status, only the emotions related to Seven Sins will be effectively considered for Origin Force Absorption. Other emotions will have a significantly lower rate of being converted into Origin Force Points even if they turn out to be an amalgamation of emotions related to the Seven Sins.
The function will stay always-on and continue to work in the background, allowing the user to gain Origin Force Points at all times as long as sufficient amount and intensity of Origin Force Points are directed at them. Menaka's Blessing will charge an annual fee in terms of Origin Force Points to avail the user of such services. The amount of the annual fee will be dynamic and will depend upon the user's activity ]
Eren had creases on his forehead as he read about the additional charges placed on him by Goddess Menaka. He had to say that he had chosen an ideal divinity for herself. No wonder she was neutral. It served in her interests to act as a neutral party.
Goddess Menaka was considered one of the most powerful gods in existence despite a significantly low number of followers. She could pull it off by acting as a middleman between gods, demons, and their respective followers.
Eren had already accepted the fact that there was no use in fighting against the system. It was not worth the efforts to prevent Mesh from acting as a middleman and keep all the Origin Force to himself.
This was because he was not at a level where he could convert emotions directed at him into Origin Force. This was why Beelzebub had to do the hard work for both of them before giving him a share of the pie in the form of Origin Force.
Eren was a demi-god who was not even 100 years old at this point. Something like Menaka's Blessing was exactly the kind of "manager" he needed to earn from his assets.
As such, he ignored the stuff related to Goddess Menaka's charges and focused on the crucial aspects of the Origin Force Absorption. He would strike a different deal with Goddess Menaka when he became more proficient in acting as a demi-
god.
"So that's why I could feel the emotions related to the Seven Sins directed at me by others. I had thought that this was just a by-product of becoming a demi-god who had inherited Aleph's divine throne.
Turns out it was actually something I could have made use of. I… I wonder how long it would have taken me to figure this out on my own if I hadn't left Anfang."
One of Eren's long-standing questions was answered at this point as he read through the description. He distinctly remembered the strong feelings of anger, hatred, and rage directed at him among other intense emotions as soon as he had become a demi-god.
At that time, Eren had basically turned his homeworld upside down, affecting countless souls with his act. He wondered how many Origin Force Points he would have netted if Anfang had the Mesh at the time.
It also explained why the gods and demons were so keen on saving and destroying the worlds their followers inhabited at the same time when they didn't want to do either. Not really. They just wanted to muddy the waters. All their actions were so that they'd stay muddy.
It was only through great ordeal could they invoke a greater and more intense range of emotions within their followers. The souls born out of Creation were needed by both factions to claim more Origin Force for themselves.
It also explained why gods or demons couldn't completely eradicate their enemies' existence completely from any world they had influenced with their faiths. After all, they both needed each other to cause perpetual turmoil. And through this perpetual turmoil, they could get a constant supply of Origin Force.
'Can… Can things be so simple? Let's read further before I make any decisions here,' Eren thought to himself and decided to not dwell in the past.
[ The user can convert the Origin Force Points into Origin Force for their own use with the use of Menaka's Blessing. They can also offer them to Goddess Menaka directly and obtain a fair share of Menaka's Runes in return.
The user will also have a chance to increase his Ranking Status by spending an appropriate amount of Origin Force Points. Please note that the Mesh will charge an additional sum of Origin Force Points for such an upgrade, depending upon the user's current circumstances. ]
A basic form of understanding started to form in Eren's head about the new function he had unlocked in his demi-god-
specific sub-panel. He had to say that he was impressed by the convenience Menaka's Blessing provided to him.
