Chapter 55 Cheryl's Chronicles: A Collaboration II
Unfortunately, poor little Tiara would\'ve been in a much better mood even through the mere mentioning of that idea. There was no need to put it into action.
Luckily, or unluckily, she was unaware of her upcoming fate.
"Yes." She responded. She bowed once again and lightly leaped off the place down to the valley. For an Epic, it was not hard for her to jump such a distance since the Cloud Palace was low today.
"Haah~ I\'m a genius, aren\'t I?" Cheryl lay down on the soft clouds, Michu and Michelle mimicked her on both her sides. Looking up at the sky, she couldn\'t help but wonder whether this would work out or not.
Since she could not find a better way to increase her faith points, her only way was to increase the league of strength and belief of her people. Especially now since she had disconnected from the outside world.
Only little over a million people outside believed in her. And her influence wasn\'t that great enough for those believers to spread her name around.
There were Trillions of beings in this Empire alone, and there were four more rival Empires next to it. A Million was too small to spread her belief.
Luckily, she left ten Low-ranked (Epic) Angels to do that for her.
This ten were the initial believers she came with to this world. Their only job now was to spread her name throughout the places where the five God Councils have no influence on for now.
This was only a part of her plan. The main one was still to increase the strength and belief of her followers.
The current belief of these people was Worship, which means they gave her an initial of 24 faith points per month. Unfortunately, faith was never calculated individually.
If she could make it increase to Fanatic, she could recieve 30 per month!! The higher their strength and belief, the higher the faith points the race will generate.
For example, as long as 10% of this 300 000 people were between Apprentice and Master realm, then they were first league. They would increase faith points recieved through the belief of the race by half.
As long as 5% of them were between Great master and Grand master, the initial faith points will be instantly doubled. This were the second league.
Then if 1% of the entire race could be between Epic to Saint realm, then they were third league and increased by four times the initial value of faith points.
For Half Deities and Deities, they no more use percentage. If a race of ten thousand had one Deity, then they were considered fifth league. An extra ten thousand, an extra Deity required to keep the status quo.
For fouth league, as long as a race of two thousand had a Half Deity, it was considered genuine fourth league race. If they were ten thousand within the population, five Half Deities are then required.
As for herself, she had to cultivate a hundred and thirty Half-Deities or twenty-six Deities to either become fouth league or fifth league respectively.
"Yup, truly a genius." She closed her eyes and praised herself once again. Her two dolls doing the same thing as their mother. The three of them, looked adorable.
Especially as they resembled one another, with close to no minute differences between all three. Of course, Cheryl would be different due to body size and maturity.
"I never really thought you had such a side to you, junior sister Cheryl." But unexpectedly, a neutral voice from all around her resonated into her sorounding. It sounded feminine and idle, yet soft and intoxicating.
"Who?!" Cheryl immediately sat up and riled up her faith points inside her consciousness. Ready to convert them into divine power at any given moment. Michelle and Michu also sat up.
But there was nothing they could do. What was even funnier, was how unordered they were about their mother\'s panick, and situation they were in.
"Relax, it\'s me, Louise. Long time no see, Cheryl." All of a sudden, darkness from every direction gathered before Chrryl, slowly converging into a black silhouette. Then formed into an ethereal beauty no words could define.
"L-L-Louise?! Why are you here? How are you here? How did you find me?" Flustered due to her idol standing in front of her all of a sudden, Cheryl hurriedly stood up and didn\'t know what question to ask or where to even begin.
Miche and Michelle continued to mimick her and did everything she did. Since they looked almost like her, it was truly a comical scene. But Cheryl had no time to mind them.
Especially so now.
"Like I said, relax and let\'s talk properly. I have a deal for you." Louise sighed and along with her words. Her expression wasn\'t cold this time around, she just had a poker face with no emotional flanctuations on it.
"Y-Yes. Follow me inside, please." And just like that, Cheryl led Louise and the two dolls back into the Cloud Palace, all the way to the main room or the throne room.
Along the way, Louise always looked at the two adorable daughters who were crawling behind Cheryl. They were adorable, but she felt like something about them felt off.
There was a familiar aura in their bloodline that she could not pinpoint for now, but was sure that she knew it. She had her guesses, but hoped that they were wrong.
The moment she sat down, Cheryl bombarded Louise with varieties of questions. "S-So, what proposal did you come with? No wait, wait, how did you manage to get in here without alerting me? How did you even fi—"
But she always avoided looking at the other party directly in the eyes. As if she was shy and nervous, her words were also spoken fast and incoherently, almost not making any sense.
Louise smiled, and that smile broke Cheryl\'s pace of words, immediately shutting her up. Louise then looked directly at her and slowly asked. "Mmm~ Are you that afraid of me?"
"Huh...Huh, Huh?!" As if she didn\'t understand the question itself, Cheryl looked back at Louise and dumbly asked back. But she immediately averted her gaze the next moment.
"You were doing fine a moment ago before I arrived, what got you so flustered now?" Louise, folded her arms below her chest, leaned more on the chair, and squinted her eyes at Cheryl as she asked. "It can\'t be that you...."
"...."
Cheryl did not say anything, nor did Louise pursue the matter. Niether of them entertained those thoughts, because, they were taboo... or rather not.
"It\'s not like I\'ll kill you or eat you. Relax yourself and ask one question at a time, love." She subconsciously crossed one leg above the other and gently advised. Her tone soft and gentle.
Contradictory with her facial expression that was poker and had no emotional flanctuations at all. She was more... open, if Cheryl had to put a word to it.
\'I\'d prefer the latter option please. Wait, no no no, silly, she wasn\'t asking you a question!! Get a grip of yourself!!\'
"I\'m sorry, it\'s just that I get nervous when I\'m infront of my idol." Touched by Louise\'s words, Cheryl sighed and explained herself in a low voice. So low it was barely audible. Unlike her thoughts, she was calm externally.
"Idol?" But Louise heard it clearly and couldn\'t help but raise her eye brows up in confusion. For the first time, some emotion flanctuated on her face for a moment.
She didn\'t know someone admired her. No, a lot of girls and women admired her, but she just never thought Cheryl was one of them. Cheryl was also beautiful after all.
"A-Anyway, ahem, what kind of proposal did you come with here? Surely, not a marriage proposal right? Hehe... Hehe." Embarrassed, Cheryl brushed over the topic and decided to immediately change it before she exposed herself.
But only to awkwardly laugh the joke off, before Cheryl could even respond. Her confidence was obviously low, along with her self esteem. That much was obvious.
"...."
"Hehe... hehe..." Seeing as Louise was still blankly staring at her, Cheryl awkwardly laughed again and hugged Michelle and Michu slightly tighter.
Causing the disobedient Michu to want to jump off from her mother\'s embrace. But her mother was too sullen to take that to consideration.
"Would you like to cooperate with me, Cheryl?" Louise finally sighed internally and went straight to the topic, catching the awkward Cheryl by surprise.
"...What?" She looked at Louise and asked back after a slight pause. She thought she had misheard her for a second.
"Cooperation... There\'s no need to worry, I have created my own organization within the Blackmarket of the Empire. My connections spread throughout the five Empires and my influence isn\'t small.
"I can help you spread your Belief. Information, supplies, Intelligence, resources, I can supply them to you as a fellow sister. And you can help us when we need you.
"We also have a lot of faith points, even when we share it between each other, I\'m confident we can both earn units per month. Oh, and it doesn\'t matter whether you earn a small amount or not.
