Chapter 498 The Spoils of Godhood
Finished
Everyone had wanted to congratulate her the moment the fighting stopped, but Joanna had gone straight to reviving Kevin, and nobody was going to interrupt that. Now that it was done, they crowded in.
“Congratulations, Astra Lux.”
‘Congratulations. Nobody expected Joanna to ascend this fast. The Space Alliance just gained a serious
asset.”
Well done, Joanna.” Helen’s voice carried something warm and unhidden in it.
I learned from the best.” Their coordination had produced god kills every time they’d fought together. The understanding between them ran deeper than strategy.
After the congratulations settled, Joanna got right to the point.
I’ll be straightforward with all of you. Everyone here fought hard today, and I’m not dismissing that. But if
hadn’t arrived when I did, this battle wouldn’t have ended in a win. Some of you wouldn’t have made it
>ut.”
t was blunt. It was also true, and everyone who was present knew it.
The Demon God corpses represented an enormous volume of resources, and Joanna wasn’t going to >retend otherwise or give them away out of politeness. These were Mythic-tier entities. The modifiers done were irreplaceable.
The assembled gods looked awkward, dignity slightly bruised, but none of them argued. Joanna had killed he Demon Gods. She’d saved their lives. Expecting a share of the spoils on top of that would have been >ushing it.
That said, she continued, “I couldn’t have ascended today without help. My professor was the first to Coordinate with me on the kills. And Kevin held the line when it mattered most, took the hits, drew their ittention, and didn’t break.”
Kevin’s reckless bravado had been the reason she’d been able to move freely enough to take down those inal four. In a very real sense, his death had made her ascension possible.
oanna had paid her debts..
Professor Carpenter and Kevin cach get one Demon God corpse Once you take it out of containment ill convert into godfall land, so let me know now if you’d rather have the modifiers directly
Both chose modifiers. Helen had no interest in managing godfall territory Kevin needed every moslifer he could get to repair what he’d lost.
‘For everyone else, I’ll put one corpse into the common pool to split however you see fit. The rest stays
with me.”
The mood lifted immediately.
‘Astra Lux is incredibly generous.”

“Goddess Joanna is just and kind.”
“Joanna, if you ever need anything, just say the word.”
“Add me as a friend?”
She nodded and worked through the friend requests while the others fanned out across the battlefield and finished off the remaining lower-rank demonkind with a handful of casual skill casts. It didn’t take long. When it was done, the war was over.
Joanna walked away from the field with 20 Demon God corpses. Even by her standards, that was excessive wealth. The others had received a fraction of that, but then again, walking away alive at all had been far from guaranteed.
“Kevin’s back. What about Feran?”
‘Check if his merit record qualifies him for a revival. Beyond that, his believers will need to carry it.”
We can all pitch in something.”
Joanna hadn’t dealt with the death of a Mythic-level professional before, but her access to Space Alliance information at the divine level meant she could pull the relevant details quickly.
The process for reviving a god who’d genuinely fallen required the Space Alliance to initiate a temporal resurrection, reconstructing the entity from historical state data.
Maintaining pre-death combat power, divine laws, and physical attributes cost an enormous volume of resources, more than the system would release without substantial external contribution.
And Joanna’s Resurrection Temple technology was completely off the table for this purpose. Using it would reset Feran to a newborn state, zeroing out everything he’d built.
This was where a god’s believers earned their place. They pooled their resources and contributed toward the revival, a collective effort to bring their deity back intact.
The Space Alliance opened a public fundraiser for Feran’s resurrection almost immediately. Joanna donated one trillion Starcoins as a gesture. At her current financial position, it was a rounding error, but the symbolism mattered,
Then the Space Alliance delivered her ascension rewards.
“Congratulations, Mythic-level professional Joanna. Upon achieving divine status, you are authorizest to govern 1,000 dimensions.
