"A gem like blood? A divinity of the elder god?" – asked ’Kid’ as Phantasia paid him a visit in his castle.
"Yeb. That guy. Diamond. One of the more well-known adventurers from the organization faction." – said Phantasia.
"I suspect him to be using the divinity of the elder god."
"A one that he obtained from that desert I’ve told you about."
"And there is another one that also shown up."
"...A third confirmed user?" – asked ’Kid’.
"Yeah... He didn’t really tried hiding it." – replied Phantasia.
"An adventurer by the name of Apple."
"And his divinity of the elder god is tied to the chains."
"Don’t know him."
"But he is dangerous."
"However, most important."
"Where does he stands?"
"That is the question, which we also don’t have any answer for."
"..."
"I don’t know anything.... But by the looks of things, I will have to look into it." – said ’Kid’.
"Please do. I can also look into it, but there is limit of what I can even do... Since you know, I have way too many eyes on me." – said Phantasia before getting up from his seat and then saying his goodbyes, as he then left the room.
(Third divinity of the elder god already appearing?) – thought ’Kid’.
(This is too quick.)
(...No.... It may not be really third one.)
(There could be already several out there.)
(According to the documents, the number of the Elder Gods wasn’t small... But instead, somewhat large.)
(And if there is divinity left behind, which is tied to every single one of these gods....Then this is truly a problem.)

"Isn’t this bad then?" – asked Thanatos, as the trio were having a meeting in Phantasia’s private workshop.
"She is right." – said Maparapara.
"If what you are saying about the divine users being a problem right now, then the only way to counter them would to be either eliminating them OR obtaining our own divinity."
"Yes. That is true." – said Phantasia calmly as he continued working.
"But here is a real question."
"How the hell do we find it?"
"Let me remind you, we are probably not the only ones who realized the truth."
"And probably, the NPCs from all the factions must had realized the truth as well."
"It is free for all."
"And now buying any information regarding to this, could be pretty much fake, no matter what."
"Not only that, did you forgotten about me?"
"Too many people are looking directly at me."
"At the best, you two can move completely unrestricted."
(Honestly, it would be perfect if I could secure at least 1 elder god divinity for out group.) – thought Phantasia as he was assembling a gun like device, before then fusing it with a mechanical humanoid arm.
(...My plan never involved this stuff in the first place....)
(...But now?)
(Honestly speaking, with the appearance of the elder gods’ divinities getting thrown into the mix, my plans are getting somewhat tangled and disturbed.)
(The only way to deal with this would be to obtain divinity.)
(But again, where in the blood hell we would obtain it?)
(From what we had gathered, it seems that the divinity that Arthur had obtained was originally located in the empire, in the underground temple that straight up was buried right underneath their noses.)
(The second temple, where Diamond gotten his, it was also underground, but opened up under specific conditions according to the information that I’ve had bought from that person.)
(They are hidden.)
(That is the main clue we have.)
(But they are also well hidden and in unexpected locations.)
"..."
"The most obvious way would be to look through the old records and legends of the Elder Gods." – said Phantasia as he stopped working.
"But I’ve checked this already."
"Almost all of the records regarding the Elder Gods were either scattered or destroyed by the invaders and their fallows."
"Then again, if they did had some good info, they would had already gotten their hands on those divinities, meaning that we are still at the same starting line."
"..."
"So that means, we should give up?" – asked Thanatos.
"Well.... No... But at the same time yes." – replied Phantasia.
"If we had even a single clue, we could at least obtain ability to ’move’.... But now?"
"We can just fucking dig everywhere for months, and it will just turn out that there was nothing in the first place, where we had searched."
"Not only that, you saw Diamond."
"His divinity was related to the blood, which somewhat sucked for him, since he didn’t had any solid blood related class build."
"Still, there are 3 of us, with each of specializing in different things." – said Thanatos.
"So even if one divinity doesn’t fit us, the other two could-"
"And how can we even check it? And how do we know that a single person can only have single divinity?" – asked Maparapra.
"It doesn’t really matter, does it?" – replied Phantasia.
"All it matters that we obtain a divinity. No matter what it is."
(But again.) – thought Thanatos.
(Where the hell we can even obtain it?)
(...)
(Or more exactly, where we can look for something or somebody that have any solid information about the elder gods?)
