"Oh! So you are Ms. Iliya Krisanax and her companion, Mr. Dowd Campbell! Nice to meet you, I'm Lana Rei Delvium."

Alright, let's talk about this person, Lana Reid Devlium.

She was the MC in Sera's DLC, and some people called her Iliya's little sister.

Her hair was black and short, only slightly covering her neck. The thing that stood out the most on her head was the single hair sticking out of it, just like those ahoge you'd seen in anime.

As you could see, even though she encountered both me and Iliya, her own competitors, she didn't show any hint of rivalries or hostilities. Instead, she greeted us leisurely, to the point that she even exchanged her name with us. That should be enough to show you how docile of a person she was, right?

And she had one more characteristic, though. The most important one out of them all.

She was immortal.

"...What's that supposed to mean?"

"Exactly what I just said."

You could tell from what I had experienced so far already; Savior Rising's main game was notorious for its difficulty level. It was to the point that if their players were to lynch the developers for it, they wouldn't have any excuse to defend themselves.

That was one thing, but the DLC, [Holy Land Crusade], was brutally difficult even when compared to the main game. Like, the whole community went feral upon its first release.

It was so bad that the dev had to add certain features so that the players could at least clear the story smoothly. And most of the features were given to this girl, the MC. They gave her an ability that was close to cheat codes.

"Yes, that's right! I won't die even if I'm killed!"

"..."

Seeing her grin as she said such a thing, even Iliya was at a loss of words.

"I've often heard about Divine Power Overload ever since I was young. Apparently, I can't feel pain and even if my body is completely fragmented, it regenerates quickly!"

"..."

"I consider it a blessing to be born with such a blessed physique. Thanks to this, I can use my body to conduct various research for the Holy Land!"

"...T-That..."

Could you even count that as a blessing?

Iliya was about to say that, I could tell it.

But, she didn't seem to have the heart to utter such harsh words to this brat. Which was understandable, because the brat was literally talking about how they used her body for human experiments as if it was nothing. Hell, she even considered that as a blessing.

It was even more so since she already knew how much of an asshole the Pope of the Holy Land was despite his benevolent image.

'...Still, in a way, it is indeed a blessed physique."

Among the Priests, often cases, due to their innate Divine Power going haywire, they ended up not only performing some kind of Miracles or Graces, but also gained 'Special Abilities'.

Take the Hero Party for an example. Trisha, their Priest, could visually perceive others' emotions due to her Divine Power Overload.

The ultimate expression of Divine Power's nature was the creation of Homunculi. Yuria and Lucia, the Greyhounder Sisters. The Saintess and the Talisman.

These 'properties' would be revealed in later chapters, but just keep in mind that both of them were terribly powerful.

And it was especially the case for the younger of the two, who harbored the White Devil.
