"It was during the surgery just now when that assistant accidentally ruptured the patient's blood vessel, causing a massive hemorrhage, and you stepped in to intervene, stopping the bleeding so quickly!" Daimon Michiko looked at Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, who clearly seemed to be hiding something from her, and immediately demanded with dissatisfaction, "Why did the patient's bleeding stop at less than 100cc? Even if your intervention was timely and the bleeding stopped quickly, given the patient's bleeding condition at that time, it should have been 200cc! You must have done something!"

"What could we have done? I simply found the bleeding point on the patient and acted quickly to stop it, nothing more," Yu Chen naturally could not admit to Daimon Michiko's suspicions and continued to shake his head in denial.

Meanwhile, Hiromi Jounouchi hastily chimed in, "Besides, even if we did do something, what could we have done? Do you really think Mr. Chen Yu and I could control the patient's bleeding? While it's true that drugs can be used to slow the patient's heartbeat and reduce the speed of the blood flow, these things take time to work! There was simply no time for that just now."

Left speechless by Hiromi Jounouchi's retort, Daimon Michiko was quite certain that Yu Chen had indeed done something on the operating table to stop the bleeding so quickly, and that Hiromi Jounouchi was definitely aware of it as well. The feeling of not being able to get the truth out of them was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, extremely frustrating and uncomfortable.

"But still…" Daimon Michiko was about to argue some more when Hiromi Jounouchi already began to push her out of Chen Yu's office.

While pushing Michiko out, Hiromi Jounouchi also said to her, "Come on, instead of obsessing over this here, you might as well think about what you should treat me to eat! Beef over rice is definitely not going to cut it!"

Having said that, Hiromi Jounouchi pushed Michiko out of Chen Yu's office and quickly closed the door, ignoring Michiko's knocking and refusing to open it again.

"Are you really not planning to tell her the truth?" asked Yu Chen with a smile as he watched Hiromi Jounouchi push out Michiko.

There were quite a few people in the world who knew of transcendental beings, and even though ordinary people considered these tales as urban legends, having one more Michiko Daimon in the know didn't seem to be a big deal. Furthermore, she possessed intense Power of Faith, which if effectively converted, could even enable her to achieve Divine Enthronement on the spot.

"Let's not tell her for now. Besides, with Daimon-san's personality, knowing these things wouldn't make much of a difference. To her, as long as it's unrelated to surgery, all she cares about is food, mahjong, and hot springs," Hiromi Jounouchi knew Michiko Daimon's personality like the back of her hand and, after giving it some thought, decided there was no need to reveal the truth.

"Well, if Hiromi says so, then let's leave it at that. However, I do think that with Daimon-san's potential, if she knew how to become transcendent, her rich Power of Faith could make becoming a Demigod or even a Lesser God a logical progression," Yu Chen said, referring to Power of Faith. He thought that if Audis and Xiao Lan, the two creatures intent on becoming the cat's protector gods, knew that just by performing surgeries Michiko Daimon had accumulated enough divine power to become a Lesser God, they would probably die of anger… or perhaps turn green with envy?

Yet, this revelation came as a shock to Hiromi Jounouchi as well.

She was aware of the Power of Faith within Michiko Daimon but was astonished at the idea that this Power of Faith could directly turn Michiko Daimon into a Lesser God.

"Mr. Chen Yu, Lesser Gods should already be True Gods, right? Daimon-san is just an ordinary person; can she really leap over so many tiers and directly enter the Divine Domain?" Although the Crimson Hymn also had records on deities, Hiromi Jounouchi, unlike Chen Yu, hadn't spent years studying. The vast sea of information was still at a level where she was making up for the basics.

Chen Yu nodded, snapped his fingers, and summoned a group of light and shadow figures in the air, explaining to Hiromi Jounouchi, "The worship of a certain object or person by mortals generates faith, and these accumulated faith becomes the Power of Faith. By absorbing and converting the Power of Faith, deities can obtain Divine Power, making themselves stronger."

As Chen Yu explained, the light and shadow figures began to strike praying poses, and among them, one figure was in a position of being worshiped, with a halo above its head.

"As the worshippers and faith increase, the power of the deities also escalates. In the Multiverse, deities are categorized by Divine Ranks into Demigods, Lesser Gods, Intermediate Gods, Powerful Gods, and Supreme Deities," Chen Yu continued, waving his fingers again, turning the light and shadow figures into crude drawings of five kinds of deities, "Supreme Deities have transcended faith. Their existence is beyond mortal comprehension, and they are indifferent to mortal worship and prayers, only a very few individuals are aware of their existence.

Powerful Gods, however, still require faith to sustain themselves, but a Powerful God has at least several millions of followers, and they can even command other deities of lower Divine Rank, generally speaking, these are the Divine Kings of various pantheons. The Three Precious Children in Japanese Mythology and the Inari God who invited me to the banquet before are on this level."

"Several millions of followers are enough to sustain a Powerful God? But there are so many in Japan who worship the Inari God, shouldn't They be even more powerful?" Hiromi Jounouchi felt this was odd; in ancient times, the faith of several million people might have been difficult to gather.

But in modern society, first of all, the population far exceeds that of ancient times, plus the speed of network and information spreading, several million followers really isn't such a difficult feat, even some top celebrities might not lack such a scale of fan groups.

"Gods are ranked, and so are believers! If you just go to a shrine to worship and pray, treating it as a custom and habit, then you can hardly call that faith in a deity. Only the true belief and adoration from the heart is called faith." Chen Yu didn't have a special understanding of faith; he paid more attention to things related to deities, and as for faith... how many people would worship a Necromancer?

Even though the worship of just thousands can sustain the existence of a Lesser God, those who would worship Necromancers aren't just afraid of death or seekers of power, their faith is also impure.

Therefore, in earlier times, Necromancers typically used pseudonyms to disguise themselves, relying on deceiving followers and such methods to spread faith or inciting terror to gather faith, both approaches were inefficient and not particularly successful.

After the establishment of the Necromancy System in the Multiverse, with the continuous improvements and research by generations of Necromancers, the path to Divine Enthronement for Necromancers has shifted from relying on faith to plundering the original rules of the worlds to forge an Ancient Godhood that does not depend on faith.

Of course, for Chen Yu, whether it's collecting faith to forge Divine Rank or plundering world rules to create Ancient Godhood, both options are worth considering.
