There is a lot of information in this sentence.
Loki waved his hand, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and said to Finn: "I will explain it to you later."
Regarding matters concerning the gods, she was planning to hide it from her family first, but since Su Qing, as the real owner, had no intention of hiding it, she was too lazy to waste any more effort.
……
The werewolf brother's eyelids moved slightly.
Bert woke up from his coma, opened his eyes with difficulty, and tried to recall what happened before he fell into a coma.
...Oh, I was beaten.
Bert gritted his teeth. He was completely unable to fight back against the enemy, which made him very angry.
It was not directed at others, but anger at his own weakness.
When he was twelve years old, his tribe was attacked by a dragon, but he survived and came to Orario and joined Vida's family.
——Vida, the god of forests and revenge in Norse mythology. Su Qing had met Vida in the box garden in the Grace Game not long ago. The number was four digits.
Shortly after joining Vida's clan, Bert was elected as the clan leader. After upgrading to level 3, Bert went to fight the dragon. After a fierce battle that lasted a day and a night, he returned to Orario and received the news of the death of his lover who was the deputy leader.
The first time he lost his tribe, the second time he lost his lover. From then on, he believed that the weak could not survive in such a world.
If you want to protect something, you must become stronger. Adventurers who have no will to become stronger and just live a life of mediocrity are not worthy of staying in the dungeon.
From then on, he kept pursuing victory and so-called power.
[…But when facing the enemy, you are completely powerless to fight back? I am so inferior! ]
If this goes on, if one day in the future his current companions are in desperate situation, will he be able to protect them?
The two tragedies he had experienced in the past came to his mind.
With anxiety and sighs in his heart, Bert supported himself and tried to stand up.
With a puff, a big hole appeared where his left foot stepped.
"...Huh, you can't even control your claws, Bert!"
"Shut up, you regretful goddess."
Bert responded reflexively, raised his head, and looked at Loki's half-smile.
"Well, seeing you so energetic, I feel relieved." Loki narrowed his eyes: "...Now, get up and take a few steps?"
"I've already told you to shut up, you regretful goddess."
Bert looked at his own god fiercely, with a ferocious expression, just like a husky pretending to be Fenrir.
As he spoke, he tried to stand up.
With a "puff", his right foot also sank into the ground, and his foot touched the ground like a knife cutting tofu.
Bert: "..."
"Oh oh oh, Bert, you are digging a hole, right? Come on!" The Goddess of Regret raised her hands, as if cheering for her clan.
"That's enough, Loki, I'm really going to beat you up!"
Bert gritted his teeth.
Being ridiculed by his own God, and having problems one after another for unknown reasons, he was anxious to put on a ferocious face and pretend that he had not lost face.
Loki waved his hand and said with a smile, "Well, you can't control your current strength at all. Doesn't this just prove that you've become stronger? At least the beating wasn't in vain, right?"
"Huh?" Bert tilted his head.
"That is to say, the beating you just received was to restore the potential you lost in the process of developing God's Grace."
"Lost potential? I've never heard of such a thing." Burt looked at Loki with confusion in his eyes.
"This is the first time I hear it too!" Loki spread his hands.
"Specifically, it seems to include three aspects."
"The container is not full, it only upgrades the lost part when it reaches the level that can be upgraded; the result of forced suppression is not upgraded, and the attributes cannot be displayed until the gods update them, and the damage to the body during the forced suppression process; and the loss of skills generated out of thin air by the grace of God to guide the potential of adventurers."
Bert was silent for a moment, then raised his head in confusion and asked, "Really?"
Loki nodded: "Really."
"Then this God's grace is all a trap! It's useless!"
"How rude." Loki curled his lips and said, "After all, this is a favor given to you by the gods. No matter how many shortcomings you have, it is better than having none at all."
"...Heh, a useless goddess, it's just better than nothing." Bert curled his lips.
Loki coughed dryly and said, "Anyway, your own training will definitely not be faster than God's grace, so just accept it!"
Loki also felt a little guilty.
God's grace is definitely better than nothing. No matter how many shortcomings this thing has, it is a way to make life on the ground stronger. Ancient heroes are stronger than adventurers, but ancient heroes also have the assistance of immortal spirits. Immortal spirits are the incarnations of God and also use the power of God.
God's grace has a big flaw, but that's only when compared to the ancient heroes who used the power of immortals to develop their own potential, and it's not worse than humans training themselves.
But the problem with God's Favor is that... whether it is differentiation skills or suppression attributes, the gods have the power to change them.
If the attribute has not reached the limit, it is better to upgrade it if possible. The loss of potential is the adventurer's own fault.
When it comes to the issue of God's grace, the gods do not owe surface life anything, but rather give surface life opportunities.
But it's really embarrassing.
After the gods created the God's Grace, they confidently gave it to the lower world and even stopped differentiating it into immortal essences. They felt that this grace created by the gods together to assist humans on the surface in developing their potential was much stronger than mere immortal essences.
Just kidding, God's grace is the gods helping humans to develop their potential, and immortal spirits are there to assist humans. Humans develop their own potential.
When it comes to developing human potential, are we gods no better than mere humans?
The gods back then were full of confidence and thought that defeating the black dragon would be a small problem after descending to the mortal world.
All the gods have taken action!
Even though it was only an indirect attack, it was still an attack. If the adventurers lost to the black dragon, it would be like the gods losing to the dungeon... Don't they have any face?
The gods didn't think they would lose at all. Before going to the mortal world, some of them thought that the mortal world was showing off and was coming to slap them in the face.
Although the dungeons are weaker than the gods, they are on the same level as the gods in terms of life level.
If the gods don't take action, and don't use force to crush the enemy, and the adventurers win the dungeon, wouldn't that be a stupid victory?
But after a thousand years, the black dragon was not only alive, but it didn't even have a new wound.
Chapter 33 Upper Limit
While Loki was teasing Bert, not only her, but everyone else nearby was staring at Bert.
Bert's growth from joining the Loki clan at level 3 to becoming level 5 was all under the watchful eyes of Livilia and Finn. Everyone in the Loki clan knew too well what his strength was.
Originally, Su Qing said that it could make up for the potential lost due to the over-exploitation of God's Grace. They thought that it would take a long time for that potential to be revealed.
Now... he couldn't control his hands and feet, and every time he stepped on the ground, a hole was made. What the hell was going on?
Has physical fitness at least doubled?
How can it be so easy to become stronger?
The God's Favor system in the world of Dicuo looks like a system for killing monsters and leveling up, but in fact, only those who have used it know how difficult it is to upgrade. It is normal for adventurers who are not qualified to be stuck at level 1 for their entire lives.
The more you come into contact with God's Grace, the more you realize how difficult it is for adventurers to level up.
It is not uncommon for people to improve their attributes by half a level or one level through skills or magic, but it is simply a fantasy to want to grow an attribute by half a level or one level in a short period of time.
and……
Not long ago, Bert should have been stuck at level 5, with his attributes not changing at all, and the only thing missing was the great feat of upgrading.
At this stage, no matter how much the adventurers train, their attributes cannot be improved - this is the necessary stage for all adventurers to upgrade.
As for great achievements, as long as you are willing to risk your life to fight the monster alone, you will definitely succeed in not dying.
The real problem, which can keep most adventurers stuck at level 1 for their entire lives, is the upper limit of the container.
An adventurer with enough potential can upgrade the experience to level 2 in the dungeon, but for an adventurer with insufficient potential, it can only improve a few hundred attributes.
Moreover, after growing to a certain level, no matter how the adventurer trains, the attributes will not grow.
That means the adventurer's current attributes have reached their limits and they need to switch to a larger container, which is an upgrade.
But what if the attribute reaches its limit and cannot be upgraded?
gg!
Different adventurers can reach different attribute limits at each stage. Some adventurers' attributes can grow to 999, while some adventurers' attributes can only grow to 200-300.
The requirement for upgradeability never requires that the attributes grow to their limits.
The requirements for upgrading are sufficient feats, plus one attribute growing to over five hundred.
——This makes the gods seem very stupid.
God's Favor was clearly created to train heroes from the underworld and transcend the agreement between them and the dungeon, but God's Favor operates in this way.
The adventurer's growth should not be locked, so the adventurer cannot become stronger in battle. Even if the adventurer breaks through his limit in battle, it will not be displayed until the gods update the attributes.
The adventurer's body has grown, but God's grace still suppresses this growth, causing the adventurer's potential to be lost.
That would be fine, no one would expect gods to help adventurers selflessly. Part of the reason why gods come to the mortal world is curiosity. God's grace locks the growth of adventurers and displays it at the moment of being updated, which can satisfy the curiosity of gods.
But the criteria for upgrading God's Grace are simply stupid.
Even if a weak person grows to the limit of his attribute and completes a great deed, there is no possibility of upgrading. When a strong person's attribute reaches a certain level, no matter how much untapped potential he has left, he can upgrade... At least the upgrade standard is calculated according to the limit of personal attribute, right?
When it is necessary to suppress the adventurer's growth and prevent the adventurer from losing his potential, the gods give the adventurer the right to choose. When it is necessary not to suppress the adventurer's growth, when the adventurer has escaped death in a battle and should have broken through his physical limits and defeated the monster, the gods instead lock the adventurer's growth ceiling.
With normal thinking, one wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
For some adventurers, what prevents them from upgrading is great deeds, and the completion of great deeds is inevitably accompanied by risks.
