Stheno was relieved when she heard Beleth's statement. Her journey would be much safe if she had strong people like them on her side.
-Stheno. (Beleth)
-Yes? (Stheno)
-I have been wondering for a long time. (Beleth)
-What's the problem? (Stheno)
-Why do you have a partial blessing while others have a full blessing? (Beleth)
-Ah, about that! (Stheno)
Stheno answers Beleth with a shy smile on her face.
-Whew, there are various reasons for that. (Stheno)
-Hmmm? (Beleth)
-The most significant reason is Jormungandr wants someone to stop her. (Stheno)
-Huh? What do you mean by that? (Beleth)
Stheno askes Beleth.
-Did you know Jormungandr in the past differs from the present? (Stheno)
-Really? In what senses? (Beleth)
-She is calm and a kind person. And she doesn't like to fight others. (Stheno)
Stheno continues.
-But the current Jormungandr like fighting so up. She can fight all day and night and even end up hurting herself. (Stheno)
-What made your master change? (Beleth)
-... (Stheno)
Stheno sighs and tells Beleth.
-It's the "Origin."It's also the thing that makes Jormungandr a goddess. (Stheno)
The twins who overheard the conversation also turned to Stheno.
-"Origin"? (Mia)
-A thing that can make people become a goddess? (Amy)
-Right! (Stheno)
-What is the "Origin", Stheno? (Beleth)
Stheno shakes her head and replies to Beleth.
-I don't know much about it. But Jormungandr calls the "Origin" is the tale of the others. (Stheno)
-Tale? (Beleth)
-It gets a little confusing, right? (Stheno)
-Uhm. (Beleth)
-The "Origin" records what has the owner achieved in their lifetime. (Stheno)
-You mean their achievement? (Beleth)
-Right. It will record the good deed and the horrible deed of the owner in "Origin." Each of them is a remarkable achievement; it is like destroy a planet or save a star. (Stheno)
-Woah, they all sound incredible. But I still don't understand how it can affect your master personality. (Beleth)
-Whew, if the "Origin" belongs to you, it won't affect the owner's personality. (Stheno)
-It's different when it belongs to others, right? (Beleth)
-Yup. (Stheno)
Beleth scratches her head and stares at Stheno.
-Did she choose to absorb it even though she knew the side effect of it? (Beleth)
-Yeah. (Stheno)
Mia can't beat her curiosity and asks Stheno.
-Why did she do that? (Mia)
-Mia! (Amy)
Stheno calms the twins down and tells them.
-It's all right, you two. Jormungandr absorbed it because we really needed strength at that moment. (Stheno)
-What...? (Mia)
When Mia tries to ask further, Amy instantly pokes her cheek.
-Awww, sister. (Mia)
-Don't be like that, Mia. (Amy)
-I got it! Release my cheek, sister. (Mia)
Stheno can't help but smile when she looks at the twins.
-These two are so cute. (Stheno)
-Ahahaha. (Beleth)
-That's everything I know about the "Origin." (Stheno)
At that time, a voice comes from the tent entrance and interrupts their conversation.
-You guys are all here? (Stolas)
The groups turn to the tent entrance and find Stolas is standing there and holding a trace of food.
-Oh, Stolas? (Beleth)
-Sister Stolas! (Amy & Mia)
Stolas nods and says.
-You guys shouldn't burden Stheno like that. She just woke up. (Stolas)
All three turn to Stheno and apologize to her.
-Don't worry about that. It doesn't affect me much since I only tell these three about my story. (Stheno)
Stolas places the trace next to Stheno and tells her.
-I don't know if these would fit your taste. (Stolas)
-Don't worry about that, Stolas. Since I'm a soldier, I am fine with anything. (Stheno)
Stolas nods and stands right beside Beleth.
-What are you guys talking about, Stheno? (Stolas)
-Ah, we are talking about the "Origin." (Stheno)
Stheno told Stolas about what she had explained to Beleth and others. Their conversation lasts until they decide to take a break.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Famine is reaching out to the ball of light on the verge of being broken.
-There is no more response come from this thing. Should I break it? (Famine)
-You could do that, Famine. (Death)
-Then let break it now! I want to get rid of this thing as soon as possible. (War)
Famine holds the ball of light in her hand and uses all of her might to crush it.
-Now I think we should focus on healing our "White." Since White is in pretty terrible shape. (Famine)
-Three fragments you got from that thing can be helpful in healing her, Famine. (Death)
Famine makes three fragments appear in hand.
-Do you mean these three? (Famine)
-Right. (Death)
-These fragments have the same wavelength as the one Farah had absorbed so far. It didn't show any sign of rejection to Farah so far. (War)
-And with these energies come from these fragments, they will be more than enough to heal Farah. (Death)
-Is there any side effect of letting Farah absorb these fragments? (Famine)
Death thinks for a while before answering Famine.
-If we force Farah to absorb these fragments directly, she will temporarily gain a large amount of mana. (Death)
-That doesn't sound too bad. All "White" needs to do is spending those manas until she becomes normal again. (Famine)
-Let's heal Farah right now. (War)
-Right. (Death)
The Famine gives her body back to "White." The hair of the body turns back to pink colour.

-Right. (War)
-At this rate, "White" will wake up soon. (Famine)

-I don't know much about it. But Jormungandr calls the "Origin" is the tale of the others. (Stheno)
Like a legend or myth, right?
-Whew, if the "Origin" belongs to you, it won't affect the owner's personality. (Stheno)
An Origin is something that any powerful being can build from scratch if they put in the time and effort, even if they're a mortal, right?
-It's all right, you two. Jormungandr absorbed it because we really needed strength at that moment. (Stheno)
From what I understood Jormungandr needed the power of an Origin, but with her being Loki and Angrboda's daughter she should already have her own Origin by birth. So if she had to absorb the Origin from the other that means her original Origin was stolen, right?
INT: 350(00)
Am I the only one who thinks Farah will take advantage of this raise to summon more demonesses?
Thanks for the chapter
Right, It's a legend or myth.
Yup, it will take time for them to build upon their own.
Argh, for that. I scrap the idea to make them become god/goddess-like that. They still need to have their own achievement to be able to ascend godhood. Despite the fact, their parents are a god/ goddess. Jorg in my universe hasn't achieved that at that time.
She (would) Since Farah will need the number to fight against the army of that man
@Madeus
So, Origin is something a spiritual organ that develops to capture emotions directed at the holder like faith, gratitude, interest, fear, etc and converts them into divine power, right?
The Origins of the goddesses of the 7 virtues and sins were not developed by themselves, right?
And by the name of these Origins I doubt that they have developed inside living beings in the past, would they be the crystallizations of the concepts of the 7 sins and virtues?
@Gin0001
Yup, you can say that. It's the reason why the outer collect fears to make him more noticeable and write it down in his own Origin.
That's right. It's the reason that Humilitas gives up the origin that easily and is too scared to absorb its power.
I can't spoil it now but 14 of them belongs to living beings in the past. It will be a major spoiler if I tell you everything
And they are not man-made or something
@Madeus
Hypothetically speaking, do figures like King Arthur and Merlin have legends big enough to develop an Origin if they were alive?
It's harder for non-combatants like artisans, detectives, doctors, healers, etc to develop an Origin, right?
@Gin0001
Yup, they will accumulate their own reason and become a god themselves.
They are equally hard. Sometimes those types can easily create a big achievement and easily become gods. But they are weaker than other gods in combat terms.
@Madeus
So, it would be a similar division to the offensive servants and the support servants in Fate Grand Order, right?
@Gin0001
You can say so. Though a few non combatants can be really strong though
@Madeus
For example an architect god with a skill that allows him to transmute the environment to give him an advantage by creating mazes or fortresses that buff him and his allies at the same time as debuff the invaders and to complete is full of traps?
Now that I've stopped to think about it, if a person absorbs someone else's Origin, would that get in the way of developing their own personal Origin?
@Gin0001
Right, it can be one way to tell it. But each person can have the unique power to counter each other.
No, the moment they absorb the origin of other. The origin will slowly take over them and make them act like the old master. I mean act in the same way but not totally turn them into the old master.
@Madeus
So, has Farah already started to be influenced by the origin of the humility she received from Humilitas? I didn't notice any difference.
@Gin0001
Farah is a special case. She received no influence thanks to the magical girl skill.
That's skill is so special and why it is special like that is something I can't spoil right now
